The originating agency is the FBI, with an incident date of July 2025 and a location in the northeastern United States.[^1][^2]\n\n<Video url=\"https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2606/DOD_111764177/DOD_111764177.mp4\" controls />\n\n## Provenance and Credibility\n\nThe accompanying description is derived from statements provided to the FBI by eyewitnesses to the event, and the Bureau assesses the individuals who reported it as credible. DVIDS hosts the matching public video entry and a direct MP4 rendition of the clip.[^3][^4]\n\n## What the Eyewitnesses Reported\n\nIn July 2025, at approximately 2100 local time, an eyewitness returning home from work observed an intense bright light hovering about 25 feet off the ground below a tree line near the center of their backyard, at an estimated distance of 90 feet. The eyewitness exited their vehicle briefly before retrieving their phone to record the event. A spouse who also came outside described the object as a \"brilliant red sphere\" about one meter in diameter with a white plasma \"sun\" about the size of a basketball at its center. The orb slowly rose and moved left, and both witnesses then observed a second, identical orb hovering above the first. The eyewitness recorded the footage on an iPhone 14 Pro Max as both orbs moved westward above a nearby tree line -- silent and smooth, moving in tandem as if flying in formation or tethered together. Both witnesses saw the orbs appear to merge as they moved out of sight at an estimated distance of 75 yards. The release notes this observation occurred within 25 miles of the \"Triangle Orbs,\" \"Red Orb Rotation,\" and \"Orbs Over the Pond\" sightings, at a location well known to the witnesses and described as sparsely populated. The subject matter described in records FBI-UAP-D009 and FBI-UAP-D010 corresponds to reports originating from the same general area.[^1]\n\n## What The Record Supports\n\nFBI-UAP-PR004 documents eyewitness video and credible-assessed accounts of two coordinated luminous orbs and ties them to companion interview records from the same geographic area. It establishes the report and the Bureau's credibility assessment of the witnesses; it does not identify the objects or their origin. The phenomenon remains unresolved.\n\n## References\n\n[^1]: [Department of War PURSUE page](https://www.war.gov/UFO/#release)\n\n[^2]: [Department of War PURSUE data file (uap-data.csv)](https://www.war.gov/Portals/1/Interactive/2026/UFO/uap-data.csv)\n\n[^3]: [FBI-UAP-PR004, \"Northeastern Orb Sighting,\" 2025 DVIDS page](https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1010269/fbi-uap-pr004-northeastern-orb-sighting-2025)\n\n[^4]: [FBI-UAP-PR004, \"Northeastern Orb Sighting,\" 2025 MP4](https://d34w7g4gy10iej.cloudfront.net/video/2606/DOD_111764177/DOD_111764177.mp4)","readingTime":"2 min read"},"relatedRecords":[],"citation":{"canonicalUrl":"https://disclosdex.com/documents/2026-pursue-release-03-009-fbi-uap-pr004-northeastern-orb-sighting-2025","title":"FBI-UAP-PR004, Northeastern Orb Sighting, 2025","publisher":"Disclosdex","retrievedFrom":"https://disclosdex.com/api/v1/documents/2026-pursue-release-03-009-fbi-uap-pr004-northeastern-orb-sighting-2025","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}}
