CASE FILE F-10
A Basketball-Sized Light, 30 Yards From the Driveway - FBI Case F-10
2026-09-21 · Declassified UAP records
An FBI FD-302 records an in-person interview with a witness who "arrived home in the evening around 9:15pm." Still parked in the driveway, the witness "noticed a ball of light through [the] windshield which was yellow and about the size of a basketball." On getting out of the vehicle, a second appeared, "larger and about the size of a beach ball." Both sat behind a row of trees since taken down, in front of another section of trees on the property line.
An agent recorded a measurement in brackets: "Based on where [the witness] was standing, the objects were approximately 30 yards away and 20-30 feet above the ground." The witness "was able to look at the lights without strain or discomfort" and reported no health issues afterwards.
A second person came outside to watch. The objects "move[d] laterally to their left, passing behind a tree approximately 36 yards away, at the same height, continuing behind a neighbor's house." Then the witness "saw one orb going into the other orb before disappearing abruptly." A few weeks later came "several white orbs" travelling "from the west to the east," much higher in altitude.
Photos taken by agents were attached. The report offers no identification and no explanation; its footer states that it "contains neither recommendations nor conclusions of the FBI." Two notes on the text: one distance is written "approximately 75 away" with no unit, and a later sentence refers back to "the prior red orbs" although the first-hand description gives yellow for the first light and no colour for the second. The FD-302 is transcribed below.

FBI FD-302 — Two Balls of Light Behind the Tree Line (2026)
On ██████, ██████ was interviewed along with ██████, ██████, at ██████. After being advised of the identity of the interviewing agents and the nature of the interview, ██████ provided the following information:
On ██████, ██████ arrived home in the evening around 9:15pm. Once parking in the driveway, ██████ noticed a ball of light through ██████ windshield which was yellow and about the size of a basketball. Upon exiting the vehicle, ██████ saw a second ball of light which was larger and about the size of a beach ball. The objects were behind a row of trees, which have since been taken down but in front of a section of trees between ██████ property and ██████ neighbor's property behind the home. ██████ was able to look at the lights without strain or discomfort on ██████ eyes. ██████ stated that ██████ has not had any health issues or concerns since seeing these objects.
[Agent Note: Based on where ██████ was standing, the objects were approximately 30 yards away and 20-30 feet above the ground].
Upon seeing the lights, ██████ came outside to views the objects as well. Both ██████ and ██████ observed the objects move laterally to their left, passing behind a tree approximately 36 yards away, at the same height, continuing behind a neighbor's house and beyond a tree that was approximately 75 away. It was at this point where ██████ stated that ██████ saw one orb going into the other orb before disappearing abruptly.
██████ stated that a few weeks after this event, ██████ saw several white orbs travel over ██████ house from the west to the east. These white orbs were traveling much higher in altitude than the prior red orbs.
In 1987, ██████ stated that ██████ had witnessed something strange off of ██████, ██████ in ██████, ██████ near power lines. ██████ saw a red light circling around itself at night described it like the front end of Kit from the TV show nightrider. ██████ saw the object hover and then land near the power station. Since then ██████ stated that ██████ has always been interested in the topic of UAP.
Attached to this interview were photos taken by Agents at the permission of ██████ ██████.

Where It Happened
Full Transcript
An F.B.I. interview from the northeastern United States. A driveway, about quarter past nine at night. A yellow ball of light, the size of a basketball, sitting behind the trees.
The witness had just parked, and saw it through the windshield. Getting out, a second ball of light appeared, larger, about the size of a beach ball.
An agent added a note in brackets. From where the witness was standing, the objects were approximately thirty yards away, and twenty to thirty feet above the ground.
Someone else came outside to watch too. Both lights drifted to their left, passing behind a tree at the same height, then on behind a neighbor's house.
Then one orb went into the other, and they disappeared abruptly.
A few weeks later, several white orbs crossed over the house, west to east, much higher up. The file calls the first pair the prior red orbs, though the witness described that first light as yellow.
Agents took photos. The form says it contains neither recommendations nor conclusions of the F.B.I. Search Case F-10 at ufodata.org. Subscribe to UFO Data.
