A Pennsylvania witness at Philadelphia reported watching a hovering orb that eventually flew away, according to testimony in Case 95886 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was in South Philadelphia at 11 p.m. on October 26, 2018.

“I was holding my three-month-old son and looking out my north facing third floor windows,” the witness stated. “There is an airport nearby and I see loads of helicopters and drones, but this was different than anything I have seen in the seven years that I have lived here.”

The witness said he sees many objects from the master bedroom window on the third floor.

“I have five windows that face north, south, and west and I have no curtains since I like to see the city views. What I saw was a large, bright red, glowing orb about 11-30 feet in diameter that hovered erratically and changed colors every 30 to 60 seconds. It changed from completely red to completely green then completely blue. It was red most of the time and I don't think it was a sequential pattern I believe it was random because I saw more red and green than blue.”

The witness said the orb was flying east, and then it would hover and stay completely still.

“It then changed direction and flew west very quickly and disappeared. The total viewing was about five minutes. I've scoured the news and have seen no other accounts of this which is perplexing because there should be multiple witnesses. South Philly is a busy area on a Friday night because of the cheesesteak places that tourists line up at. I'm hoping someone else out there saw this as well.”

MUFON Pennsylvania Field Investigator William Morse closed this case as an Unknown-Other.

Another triangle probe...or a life form that needs no nuts and bolts spacecraft..... Only a plasma ball of energy to transgress the vastness of space....sweet :)

I saw something similar in Massachusetts. It looked like a red round ball flying in the opposite direction as the air traffic. It was just red. It did not change colors. I have no idea what it was. I've seen helicopters with infrared cameras on the bottom, but it looked nothing like that. It seemed to be moving faster than the flights I saw.

I witnessed a intelligently controlled fireball in 2012 while watching the Giants playoff in the world series. My wife and I were home in Chico CA. Watching the game on t.v. The sky was cloudy and high level overcast....but no rain or thunder or lighting. I went out side to stoke up the fireplace with wood and felt like something was over me. I looked up to see a almost cartoonish looking fireball about 100 feet above me....silent..no sparks..kind of undulating in the center like a flag wavering in the wind. The size was about the size of a v.w.bug. I could have hit it with a rock. I ran into the house grabbed my digital camera...screamed at my wife to get the hell outside...and ran out. I snapped 1 shot....as we were both saying what the hell is that...when almost as if it was putting on a demonstration (one person now two)...it rolled into two identically sized fireballs...then one shot off to the west at a incredible speed...followed by the other fireball seconds later. We were stunned....my wife was a little freaked out and still doesent like to talk about it. I still have the photos but am not techno- savvy to convert to computer or phone...and the photos don't do justice to the eye-witnessed event. What was it??? After researching fireballs extensively I'm convinced they are intelligently controlled. They are not ball lightning or swamp gas or weather balloons or flares or Venus or any of the lame misidentifications the Project Blue book people (our military) come up with. They have been sighted since recorded history..during biblical times..and gained popularity during WW2....the foo fighters. We thought they were Nazi secret weapons....Nazis thought they were ours. There is a case that one passed through a bomber between two belly gunners and did no damage. They would fly alongside...do nothing aaggressive play games..mock dogfighting.... Etc..Etc. They still buzz aircraft today. My personal belief is they are interdimensional....possibly paranormal. They have telepathiclly communicated with some witnesses. Perhaps they are intelligent lifeforms that are so advanced they need no spaceship to travel around..perfect energy..a plasma ball of intelligent life energy traveling through one dimension to the next.

if your phone can forward pictures to say an email account (such as emailing YOURSELF) that might make it easier to move the photos from say a phone to a desktop or laptop where ya can get to email and the photo from.be creative and get the photos online..These types of images are important versus the usual hard bodied UFOs which are more common. File convertors are a dime a dozen online but usually work best from a laptop or desktop system than on phones which are limited mostly to apps.

Fascinating - when you went and got your wife (one witness becoming two), the fireball also became two. Seems symbolic or a way of the being communicating or an attempt to say, "See? There are more of us as well!"

I have a video of a blue one, in my house, came from no where, right towards me, then shot to the right. I downloaded this app on the iPad, called video pix, it slows videos down, it is super cool seeing it slow. It definitely has intelligence.

I saw my plasma sphere 40 feet above my head at the beach in corpus christi. I had to comment about the way you described the center. I always describe it to people like ripples in water. Saw this thing up close and could see no craft just pure plasma I guess. Been driving me nuts since the year 2001 when I saw it.

Just google for step by step instructions on how to upload your photo to this website and follow step by step instructions.

Thank you...now that I'm retired I will hopefully figure it out. Over 50 years of photos....some good old Polaroid...most on digital camera...hope to share soon!

i witnessed something like this, but it was a plasma ball unlike my other sighting. I was driving home one day from the store, it was rufly 4:00, and i looked up in the sky, and saw a round, plasma ball hovering for rufly a minute, then disappear.

R intelligent beings involved in this fire ball sighting.hats off to u 4 trying to find out !

Well beau they must have some intelligence to go from one ball when I observed it to two when my wife came out...then have the first one shoot off followed by the second one seconds later. It was really like a performance they were putting on for us. Much like the dramatic vision of a ghost beckoning you to follow him. No nuts and bolts craft that we make can split in two and fly away. Also like I said the flame effect..or undulating..almost looked animated or cartoonish..something out of a cheap 1950s sci-fi movie. My other fireball sighting....yes II've seen a bunch of stuff...was when I was 10. My parents...both teachers..were having a PTA bar-b-q party with around 20 fellow teachers and my brothers and sister. This was 1968. Suddenly everyone got quiet as a huge loud rumbling sound overtook the party....drownding out the stereo and shakeing everthing. A huge fireball passed overhead....No trail of smoke..No sparks..No debris...Just a big giant ball of flame. And it moved not as fast as a meteor or crashing plane or space debris...but painfully slow like it might fall from the sky...or hover and come in for a landing. And stranger still it was flanked by two starfighter air force jets. The closest air force base was Beale at that time. It passed over our home..leavening everyone aghast..and headed towards our small airport. My dad a navy flight instructor during WW2 went and called the municipal airport tower.....they had seen or heard nothing. Nothing in the papers. Nothing from the air force. Nothing from anyone. No sightings from any other town. This started my interest in ufos. I researched and read anything I could get my hands on. I still do. From the 60s to the 70s there were a lot of these types of sightings. Kecksburg comes to mind. The government seemed to always be involved...crash cleanup...tarped trailers...military police.. The government says they are just meteors ..don't worry. Meteors skimming our atmosphere...well the one I saw flew off as no other town reported it..and it was loud and it sure as hell didn't land or blow up. Some of these change course.....pretty sure rocks from space don't make right hand turns. Top secret test vehicles...possibly...but why fly over populated areas with two fighter craft following. What kind of high tech is a flameing fireball. It looked like a large flameing sun. We have had many meteor sightings recently Russia and a few days ago in Cuba....trail of smoke.. sonic boom..debris raining down....not escorted by jets....flying off..or Makeing turns. There are some wild and crazy things flying around out there...keep looking up.

I had a similar experience in 1965/6, as I’m trying to recall. I have it posted as a MUFON case. I did not see a sphere nor orb nor the source of the colors that randomly changed the cloud it was imbedded in. I was living about 20 miles outside of NYC in a westerly direction just beyond the ridge overlooking the Meadows. I suspect from my vantage point this light show took place over the marshland around the NJ Tpk.

Yours is the only other occurrence of changing lights similar to my experience, that I know of.

Couldn't what you saw be a drone ?

I too saw a fire-ball like object in a forest in northern Holland in 2012. It looked like a small sun. It appeared to be a few hundred feet above the tree line and it was moving very slowly. I watched it for about 5 or so minutes until it disappeared in the horizon. For years I felt unsure of what I saw and figured there had to be a rational explanation. I even began to doubt whether I really saw it or not as the years went by but the accounts above describe almost verbatim what I saw. I wont try to explain what I think it is because I do not know what it was. I've seen a number of weird things and it's always the same- I dont know what it was, I didnt get a picture and there was no one else with me to corroborate my story. Lol! But I definitely believe there is more to this world than we can even begin to imagine.

You got that right Anthony. One thing for sure the ones I saw were not rocks from space. I'm leaning towards intelligently controlled balls of plasma energy. Like the paranormal.they phase in and out of our dimensions. Imagine a race of beings so advanced they don't need physical craft to fly around or physical body's. There is a lot of data on orbs and mysterious lights.

Fascinating Mmiller, all we can do is keep looking up and keep our minds open to possibilities. I'm not a scientist, but I prefer to approach the phenomena like a scientist. Evidence of repeated stories points the way towards the fact that there is something going on. What that something is IS the question.
