‘Ball of light’ UFO hovers over Alaskan town

An Alaskan witness at Eagle River reported watching a “ball of light” UFO that appeared to move intelligently with hovering and course correction movements, according to testimony in Case 60040 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was walking home from a friend’s home at 1:15 a.m. on September 21, 2014, when the object was first seen.

“It was a dark sky with light cloud coverage and a ball of light was apparent,” the witness stated. “It did not have the shape of the Northern Lights. I thought the object was a meteor but it never picked up speed.”

The witness decided to take pictures of the object. Five images were submitted with the MUFON report, which was filed on September 24, 2014: Image 1, Image 2, Image 3, Image 4 and Image 5.

The witness described the object’s distance and size.

“The object was a little difficult to estimate due to the distance but I believe it was possibly the size of a car tire. It came toward my direction slowly, appeared to hover, and then adjusted course and left gracefully within 10 seconds. I was worried because I wasn’t sure what it was and it was coming within my vicinity. I watched the object leave.”
