Evidencesensor data, official records
Witnesses in the northeast gave the FBI four videos. A bright light resolves into several lights rotating erratically around each other; two red orbs hover while one slowly circles the other; a 'plasma-like sphere' over a pond splits into smaller points with one hovering just above the water; and in July 2025 an intense light hovered 25 feet off the ground in a family's backyard, about 90 feet away.
