Details of Incident:
On October 18, 2003 at roughly 9:30 p.m., myself, my fiance and my next door neighbor were
having a campfire in my backyard. Suddenly, my fiance noticed an orange ball in the west sky.
All of us stood up and observed the orange ball come slowly over our heads and slowly fly in
the distance.
When I first saw it, I thought it was an asteroid and told everyone to get out of the way
because it looked like it was heading right to us. As it got closer, the orange ball got bigger
in size. I guesstimate it was about 10 - 20 times the size of my thumb at arms length. I estimate
it was anywhere from 500 - 2,000 feet off the ground and moving about 200 mph. It was the same
color as fire. All 3 of us heard no sound whatsoever.
When we first saw the ball it was coming straight from the west. Once it was over us it seemed
to curve slightly to the south. After it went over us, my fiance asked if she should get the
camcorder. I said by the time she got it, it would be gone. Then it came to a stop in the
distance and I told her to go and get the camcorder. I set the camcorder on the tripod and
recorded the orange ball for about 6 minutes. The ball hovered in the distance for close to ten
minutes. When it was stationary, the ball of light turned off and on twice. The first time for
about 30 seconds and the second for about 5 seconds. It was a very clear night. After a few
minutes of watching it stationary, it slowly drifted away while the ball was flickering or
illuminating in and out.
