"I reached down and opened the door to enter. Sitting about the middle of the floor was a white ball the size of a soccer ball. It was like I disturbed it or something because it immediately rose up about a foot off the floor, stopped then shot straight out through the wall below the window and was gone. It never made a sound or anything; It just reacted to my entry into its space. The only thing I noticed was a smell in the room. I have been following other reports like this from people who study such things so I am aware of these balls of light. I just never thought I would see one myself."
I contacted the witness and was able to draw out some additional information. He stated he went over to the window where the object went through the wall and saw nothing in the way of residue. When I asked about whether it could have gone through the window instead of the wall he was adamant; It went through the wall. I also asked about the smell and he said he was not sure what it was. He ruled out any stale air odor, any floral smells, or plastic smells that might account for it. He also stated he looked outside and saw no evidence it had disturbed or left any evidence of its presence. I set up a time to do a site visit. I also inquired about any details on the object. His reply was nothing could be seen; it was a solid white ball lacking any other details. He said the edges were well defined, not like one would expect if it was a mist or vapor.

October 25 - I met the witness and examined the location. The house is a two story frame construction typical of the 1930s as are most of the homes in this area. The area below the window is about 15 feet above the ground. I did a scan using magnetic and environmetal tests in the room as well as outside; all results were normal. I also brought along a few aids to try to identify the smell. I melted samples of different types of plastic in an attempt to find one that matched what he smelled. I also had a few damp wood samples and had him compare them. He said one was close but not convincing. The next test I did was using a Jacob's Ladder device. This creates ozone when the electiric arc is drawn. He immediately hit on that one; He said that was exactly what he smelled in the room. I should add that he also noted the electric arc made a sound and he was certain the actual event had no sound present. I explained that the device was only an easy way to generate ozone and does not imply an electric arc was responsible.

There was one other factor he mentioned. He told me of his interest in the unexplained and said now he knows why nobody ever gets a good picture of one. He explained he had his phone in his pocket but simply did not have time to reach for it before the object was gone. The entire event lasted less than 3 seconds. He commented that he can join the others who have seen something but can't prove it because of lack of real evidence. I told him that this was similar to other such reports and for him to contact me again if anything else develops. For now this case is cassed as an unknown.
