The resident says that they were awoken by bright light, around 3 AM that morning.

The person says that when they looked out their bedroom window, they saw "what appeared to be an orange sphere in the sky". The report says that the object was stationary, not moving at all.

The brightness was extraordinary - similar in intensity to looking at the sun.

However, the resident says that due to the "darkness and lack of reference points", they were not able to determine the size of the object or its distance.

The resident says that the orb made no sound. There was no observed movement, flashing, or change in the object’s appearance during the eye witnesses' observation.
