Georgia father and son run after ‘orange UFO orb’ as they’re taking out the trash

A father and son in Georgia chased an “orange UFO orb” after spotting the mysterious light floating through the sky while taking out the trash.

Shortly after 6:30 PM Thursday evening, a radiant orange glow in the distant night sky stopped the anonymous father outside his home in central Georgia.

“I was taking out the trash and looked up and saw something bright orange sticking out of the pines,” he told Reddit.

“We’re still scratching our heads about what we saw.”

Confused, he pointed out the peculiar luminous shade to his son, who was chatting and laughing about music with his father.

The pair simultaneously stared at it for several minutes before finally deciding to film what they saw.

The father then proceeded to share the captured video on ‘The UFO Reddit’ – a UFO discussion forum where people can talk about sightings, experiences, news and research – to gain some insight into the unexplained phenomenon.

“I’m not sure what my son and I just saw,” he wrote.

“I’ve seen similar sightings before myself, but this was the first time I was able to film something I witnessed while in the company of someone else.”

The 58-second video, which has since been shared more than 2,000 times and received 500 comments, captured the distant orb floating across the winter night sky.

Through the tops of the massive pine trees that surrounded the area, the shining circle appeared to float through the gray sky above, moving slightly up or down on its path.

As the father followed the orb during filming, he eventually reached an area where no abundance of trees blocked his view.

But the mysterious orange glow suddenly seemed to disappear.

“When I first observed it, the light was huge, but it was far away, about half a mile,” the father wrote under the posted video.

‘As it got closer it seemed to dim, but remained the same luminous illumination. As I walked along to catch it, I thought, what if it tried to avoid me.”

“Towards the end of the video it seems like the brightness of it is increased or decreased,” he added.

“I’m still not sure if it disappeared or disappeared behind the clouds, either way I’m not sure what I saw.”

Reddit users flocked to the comments to discuss their own theories, with many suggesting it could be a plane.

“Has the sun set recently?” one commenter asked. “When it’s dark on the ground, planes in the sky can still be illuminated by the sun and appear to reflect that orangey light back to the ground.”

Another agreed, adding: ‘I’m normally a fan of a good orb post but this looks like a plane moving through low clouds. It looks like it’s making a turn and the mist it’s moving through creates the illusion of varying speed, but it looks like it’s an airplane making a turn.”

The father responded to some of the hundreds of suggestions, noting that he also initially thought it might be an airplane.

“There was no noise, and we noticed it was something we don’t normally notice when planes and other aircraft fly overhead,” he replied.

“I initially thought it could be an airplane, but like I said, we never heard any noise and we couldn’t see the lights of normal airplanes that we see regularly,” he added.

“For additional context, it was around 6:41 PM when I looked at the time on my device right after the recording.”

He went on to explain that his home was a mile away from an airport, so it wasn’t uncommon to hear the sounds of airplanes in the sky.

“I can hear helicopters and private planes at the altitude this was at,” the father wrote in the Reddit thread.

‘This was something different. He didn’t make any noise as he came closer.’

Another user then asked him how he felt afterward, specifically wondering if he had felt any “weird energy” after the sighting.

“Been a weirdo since high school,” he replied humorously.

“So other than the other weird things that happen every now and then, I think I’m doing fine. If anything extra weird happens, I’ll update.”

The video is the latest in a long line of mysterious sightings recorded in recent weeks.

Additionally, the Georgia sighting occurred less than a week after another stunning light was captured hovering over the New Jersey sky.

Emerging footage filmed near Atlantic City on December 22 showed what appeared to be a UFO hovering overhead before suddenly speeding away at speeds unreachable by human vehicles – leaving onlookers speechless.

In the short 13-second clip shared on social media, a white light can be seen flashing in the air before abruptly disappearing as family members talk about what they just saw.

“It just disappeared!” said one. “I just looked at it through the telescope.”

A US military witness with more than 25 years of experience also revealed his own late night encounter with a UFO that lit up his campsite and ‘made absolutely no sound’.

According to the military witness who requested anonymity, the campsite UFO hovered as close as 100 meters above him along the tree line on October 21: “The whole area lit up brighter than the brightest full moon I’ve ever seen,” he said . reported.

“I knew it wasn’t the moon because I had located the moon before,” the trained observer noted of this 6-9 meter long UFO. ‘[The moon] was a dimly lit, diminishing gallows.’

The career soldier, who reported the event to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), added: ‘I observed it for at least a minute before fear took over and I sank back into the back of my truck and into my sleeping bag. .’
