Sept 18, 2024 - White Spheres Almost Hit Car Near Smithfield
Weather: Clear, Temperature in the low 70s. Winds Calm.
Time: 7:30 PM About 45 minutes after sunset local time.
9-20-2024 I was contacted by the witness (Name Withheld) who saw three balls of light cross her path of travel along Rt 119 just south of Smithfield. She was driving northbound on 119 when suddenly the three objects appeared from the left side of the road and shot across her path of travel at about hood-height. She said she would have likely hit them had she not slammed on her brakes. She stated the three shot in a straight line with just a few feet between them across the road and into the field below on her right. Each sphere was white, and about 12 inches in diameter. The entire event only lasted for a second or two and they were gone. No other details were observed. She stated they were just there; she could not say where they came from nor where they went when they entered the field and were gone.
I should point out this is the same area where the cylindrical object was sighted back in July. (Previous case file).
The witness was driving a 2022 Kia Sorento. I asked about any effects to her car, she said none. The car continued to run normally. Her lights were on, and continued to burn normally. She was certain the balls of light were not any reflection on her windows. The angles of the glass would not match up to any light source at the location, so that explanation was considered and ruled out.
I did a phone interview with the witness and found nothing that raised any doubts in her story as she related it. She had no real interest in UFOs, etc. prior to this. I could find no preconceptions or other reason she is fabricating the report. Thus I concluded she was giving a truthful account and relating the story as she experienced it. She was unaware of the earlier case file at this location until I mentioned it in the course of the interview. She does not know either of the witnesses in that case, nor has had any contact with them.
