Witness account
Narrative
I believe this was originally posted by a captain Bigelow or something similar, but his accounts were subsequently wiped out. It would be quite odd for a pilot to film up in the sky for no reason and you can see he was filming from the cockpit. Orb looks very similar to the Buga sphere. submitted by /u/rocknstone101
