A man and a neighbor saw two glowing orbs move behind trees and a house. In a garbled passage in the document, one light appears to enter the other before both disappear.
This is an FBI FD-302 interview report (a form used to document interviews) recording a U.S. person's first-hand account of an unidentified anomalous phenomena sighting in the northeastern United States. The interviewee describes seeing two glowing yellow balls of light the size of a basketball and a beach ball near their home around 9:15pm, which moved laterally behind trees before disappearing abruptly, plus a later sighting of several high-altitude white orbs and a 1987 sighting of a red light near power lines. The form notes that photographs were taken by agents at the witness's permission and attached to the interview. Nearly all identifying details (names, dates, exact locations) are redacted.
Witness arrived home in the evening around 9:15pm and, while parking in the driveway, noticed a yellow ball of light about the size of a basketball through the windshield. Upon exiting the vehicle, the witness saw a second, larger ball of light about the size of a beach ball. The objects were behind a row of trees (since taken down), roughly 30 yards away and 20-30 feet above the ground. The witness could look at the lights without strain or discomfort and reported no health issues afterward.
A few weeks after the first event, the witness saw several white orbs travel over the house from west to east, traveling at a much higher altitude than the prior red orbs.
The witness recalled witnessing something strange near power lines: a red light circling around itself at night, described like the front end or 'Kit' from the TV show Knight Rider ('nightrider'). The object was seen to hover and then land near the power station.

The manifest description states the subject matter in FBI-UAP-D009 and FBI-UAP-D010, and the video footage FBI-UAP-PR004, corresponds to reports from the same general area in the northeastern United States. OCR quality is moderate with scanning artifacts; the page 1 text references 'red orbs' while the initial description calls the lights yellow, suggesting possible color inconsistency or OCR/transcription detail loss. The 1987 'nightrider' reference is to the TV show Knight Rider ('Kit'/KITT).
No. Another person came outside and watched them, too.
The passage in the document describing that moment is garbled, and some of its words are illegible.
No. The document records an account but does not identify the lights.
One evening, around nine o’clock, a man arrived home in the northeastern United States. As he pulled into the driveway, he saw a basketball-sized yellow orb through the windshield. When he got out of the car, a larger orb appeared behind the trees.
Another person came outside and saw the lights, too. They moved behind a tree and a neighbor’s house, then vanished quickly. But the document’s description of that moment is partly garbled, making it unclear exactly what the witness saw.
The incident took place in 2026, according to the man’s account in an interview documented by the FBI. The first light was yellow; the second was about the size of a beach ball. Both appeared above the ground, behind a line of trees.
According to the investigator’s note, the lights were about 30 meters from the man and roughly eight meters above the ground. He could look at them without discomfort or pain in his eyes. The other person came outside and watched them, too.
Both witnesses saw the lights move sideways, to the left of where they were standing. The lights passed behind a tree, continued behind a neighbor’s house, and then moved behind another tree.
At this point, the document contains a garbled passage. It appears to say that the first light entered the second before both vanished quickly. But some of the words around the description are illegible, so it’s impossible to know exactly what the document says about that moment. The account offers no fuller description of what happened.
The document records one person’s account but neither identifies the lights nor offers an ordinary explanation for them. The passage about their disappearance is garbled in the scanned text, so it’s unclear whether the witness described the lights meeting or what exactly happened just before they vanished.
Two glowing orbs moved behind a house, a tree, and then another tree. Then, according to the account, they vanished.
