Bright white orb light hovering above ocean

My friend and I were walking towards my house when we noticed a very bright light, hovering above the ocean behind my house beyond the cliffs. We ran up to see what it was. The light got extremely bright, and then slowly faded and disappeared. We started to walk away, and it came back, even brighter than it was before, while stationary and hovering above the ocean. It was so bright it lit up the entire ocean beneath it. there were no planes, no helicopters, no boats or anything around that location, it was not a flare, nor was it a rocket launch, even though the rocket did launch on that day, but that evening. This light did, however have two companion orbs that were much much smaller and whose lights did not fluctuate. The two smaller orbs came in and out of sight. The larger one had the same behavior for about 30 minutes. It disappeared and came back a total of three times before it disappearing completely.

By NUFORC / National UFO Reporting Center

The National UFO Reporting Center was founded in 1974 by noted UFO investigator Robert J. Gribble. The Center’s primary function over the past four decades has been to receive, record, and to the greatest degree possible, corroborate and document reports from individuals who have been witness to unusual, possibly UFO-related events.  Throughout its history, the Center has processed over 150,000 reports, and has distributed its information to thousands of individuals.

The principal means used by the Center to receive sighting reports is this website, which has operated continuously since 1994.   Prior to that period, the telephone hotline and the U.S. mail were the primary means of taking reports.   

The Center’s independence from all other UFO related organizations, combined with its long standing policy of guaranteed anonymity to callers, has served to make it perhaps the most popular and widely accepted national UFO reporting facility anywhere.   The website and hotline are well known by law enforcement agencies, FAA ARTCC’s and flight service stations, National Weather Services offices, military facilities, NASA, and many 911 emergency dispatch centers all across the United States and in many parts of Canada. Those entities routinely direct the calls they receive regarding possible UFO sightings to the Center.

One of the Center’s policies, which distinguishes its operations from most other UFO organizations, is that it makes available to the public all of its data in summary form. Detailed information is made available to experienced UFO investigators.   

The National UFO Reporting Center is a non-profit Washington State corporation, and it is applying for federal 501 C (3) non-profit status.
