National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 10/29/2015 20:13 (Entered as : 10/29/15 20:13) Reported: 10/30/2015 8:06:04 AM 08:06 Posted: 11/6/2015 Location: Bend, OR Shape: Fireball Duration: 5 minutes Characteristics: There was an aura or haze around the object
I walked outside tonight when my boyfriend called for me to come see a strange light from the perspective of our front driveway. I saw a bright glowing saturated orange orb hover in the night sky. At first, I thought it might be a planet (like Mars), but then I realized it was hovering, actually moving smoothly (intentionally) horizontally and vertically, was much larger and saturated in color than a planet would be. Also, the light was glowing from within -- it wasn't directional or a "beam" of light, so it didn't look like a small aircraft or a drone. And it didn't have any blinking lights on it. It looked like a bright orange fireball that was somewhat stationary, but moving very intentionally at times. I was in awe of this glowing ball and overwhelmed. It finally glowed really bright and flickered once, became instantly smaller, and then faded out to a small dot and disappeared as if it had quickly zoomed away. We tried to capture it on our iPad and iphone, with one poor quality image to show for it.
