ON 1-26-04 @6:12PM MY HUSBAND & I WERE PUTTING FOOD OUT FOR THE BIRDS. WE LOOK UP AT THE SKY AND SAW A ROUND BALL WITH A ORANGE/YELLOW GLOW TO IT,IN THE CENTER OF IT.THE SKY WAS VERY MUGY/HAD THAT COLD CLODY LOOK TO IT. THE OBJECT WAS MOVING VERY FAST. AS IT CAME CLOSER WE COULD SEE 2 LINES WITH THAT ORANGE/YELLOW GLOW. I RAN GET CAMCORDER BUT IT HAD GONE BELOW ARE VIEW(TREES BLOCKING VIEW ). IT HAD THAT APPEARANCE AS IF IT WERE COMING DOWN TO EARTH. NOT SIDEWAYS. DIRECTION WAS SOUTHWEST.

NUFORC Note:

We spoke with this witness at length, and we found her to be quite credible. She and her husband, she states, are both amateur astronomers. I asked whether the object might have been a high-altitude airliner, with short contrails behind two engines, reflecting sunlight, and she seemed to think that could not be the explanation. We do not know what the witnesses observed. PD
