The FBI Received Videos of Lights Near a Home

In October 2024, a man recorded unusual lights near his home in the northeastern United States. He sent the videos to FBI agents, who collected them and asked how they had been filmed.

The lights appeared in different places around the house: above the horizon, close to the ground, among the trees, and near the water. Sometimes they seemed to hover; at other times, they moved. The man later learned that a neighbor to the south had also seen strange lights near the tree line behind his home.

The Videos Reached the FBI

The man had been recording ball-shaped lights since November 2021. In October 2024, he reported new activity and filmed it. Later that month, he recorded another occurrence. FBI agents met with him, collected video clips, and asked about the footage and his repeated sightings.

He said he had tried to learn more about the lights. He set up trail cameras and sensors on his property and consulted several people. He also tried to determine whether there were ordinary explanations for what he had seen. The document does not specify which explanations he considered or what his inquiries found.

A Neighbor Saw Lights Near the Trees

The man generally avoided discussing his sightings with his neighbors. He worried about alarming them or giving them the wrong impression. But when he spoke with a neighbor to the south, the neighbor said he, too, had seen strange lights near the tree line behind his home.

The neighbor’s account adds to the material the man gave the FBI. The recorded lights appeared in the general area where other sightings had also been reported, but the document provides no information linking them beyond that.

What Remains Unknown

The document is an FBI form used to record investigative activity and contacts with people. It documents the videos and the man’s account, but does not identify the lights or say whether investigators found an ordinary explanation.

Another neighbor said he had seen something similar among the trees, where the lights were filmed.
