Three Glowing Orbs On The Ground Rise Straight Up Into The Sky in Pennsylvania (January 21, 2025)
From: Researcher Stan Gordon www.stangordon.info
I have been aware of encounters with luminous orbs or balls of light of various sizes and colors that have been reported since the 1960s. While I often receive information on spherical objects seen higher in the sky that are performing unusual maneuvers, reports of these smaller generally round objects that are extremely low to the ground or in some cases on the ground have been increasing in past years.
I am of the opinion that these low-level orb cases represent one of the most important part of the UFO/UAP mystery and these cases require more attention. There are also reports of various types of physiological effects reported by some witnesses who have been within a few feet distance from these objects.
You can read this report from 2022, when there was a significant increase in these types of cases taking place in Pennsylvania. 2022- A Very Active Year for Significant UFOs/UAPs and Ground Level Balls of Light, Bigfoot, and Cryptid Encounters Reported In Pennsylvania. – Stan Gordon’s UFO Anomalies Zone
On the evening of January 13, 2025, in Clearfield County, a witness had just opened the door to let out the family dog when a very bright round object was observed. The object appeared to be a solid white sphere that was positioned low over some small nearby trees. The object was estimated to be about twenty feet off the ground. The object rapidly accelerated straight up high into the sky. That witness hurried into the house to bring another person to view it. When they returned it was not in sight.
The following is a report that I received from my research associate Jim Brown from Fayette County, Pennsylvania. Jim has spent many years investigating various anomalies reported by the public. Fayette County has a long history of UFO/UAP, Bigfoot, Cryptid encounters, and other strange incidents. Jim’s website is: www.jimsdestinations.com
This encounter with multiple luminous orbs on the ground and the details concerning what the witness experienced is quite interesting. It is similar to other cases that have been reported in Pennsylvania and other states.
Jim’s Report: Hopwood Spherical Objects in Yard
On Jan 27, 2025 I received a call from a local who was calling regarding something his neighbor saw. He wanted to ask my permission to pass along my contact information to the witness before doing so. He did not see anything for himself; He was asking for his neighbor. I told him to do so, I would be happy to speak with the witness.
The witness called me on Monday January 21, 2025. He related the following as he observed it.
Location of sighting: Near Hopwood, Pa. from his residence.
Date of the sighting: January, 21, 2025
Time of sighting: Approx. 5:00 AM
Weather: Mostly clear and cold, single digit temperature
Lunar phase: Waning crescent
Name witheld at witness request.
Witness narrative transcribed from phone call: “I was just waking up and going to get up and start my day with a cup of coffee when I saw a glow on the ceiling from what looked like someone outside shining a light in the window. I knew from the way the light was coming in whoever it was had to be in the yard since the glow was on the ceiling coming up from the yard. I went to the window keeping low in case someone was out there messing around.
That’s when I saw where the glow was coming from. There were three balls of light just sitting on the ground. They were about the size of a basketball and there was a few inches between them forming a triangle shape. That’s when things really got weird. I had this thought or whatever you would call it that they saw me and they had to get away. At the same time I got a sensation of extreme fear come over me. That is not something I would normally get, I am not one who fears something unless there is a good reason to.
Anyway these three objects were sitting there glowing like a light bulb. They immediately came together to form a single light, much brighter then shot straight up into the sky and were gone in a matter of a couple seconds. I went over and sat down for a few seconds to ask myself what I just saw. I figured nobody would believe me so I didn’t mention it till I asked my neighbor if he had ever heard of anything like this. Your name came up, and I asked about contacting you to report it. This was on Sunday and he gave me your number so that brings us to where we are now.”
After hearing the story I asked a few questions and gathered a bit more information about the event. The witness said the objects glowed white when he first saw them and were also white although ten times brighter as they merged and sped off. There were no details at any time, only the glowing light of differing intensity. No sound was heard at anytime. The witness wished he could have taken a picture since his phone was close by but the event only lasted a matter of seconds and was over before he could get his camera. He stated the objects were about 20 – 25 feet away from his point of observation through the window.
He also went into some detail about the fear associated with the sighting. He sat in the chair almost an hour. The sky was starting to get light when he got up and got his cup of coffee. But he said he still felt a sense of fear to the point he would not even approach the window to look out. He said it wasn’t until about 7:30 he finally looked out where the object was seen and what saw sent another wave of fear through him. There was about 3 inches of snow on the ground in his yard, but in the area where the objects were seen a circle about five feet across was melted. I asked if he noticed anything else about that area but he said nothing he could think of.
Tuesday, January 28 I did a site visit and met the witness in person. His sense of fear has passed as he started to rationalize what transpired. By the time I visited the melted spot had grown due to warmer weather melting much of the snow in that part of his yard. I did check the ground where the object was seen and found no debris or evidence of anything.
I did a magnetometer scan with negative results. Moisture content of the soil was comparable to that elsewhere in that part of the yard. An EMF scan also showed no evidence of any dynamic EMF fields present that might have triggered an event. I should point out though that since 6 days had elapsed conditions could have changed between the sighting and the time I did my evaluation. I also considered a mis-identification of the moon, however that could be ruled out because the moon was not visible from that window as the window faces northwest and the crescent moon would have been in the southeast at that date / time. Plus the moon was not spherical like the object appeared.
