Short Summary:

Witness statement: "As I lay in my bedroom, my brother called me into his room and said, 'Look out the window,' and we saw a luminous sphere or some other object in the sky that seemed to grow larger and smaller, but only because it was moving away from us, or so we thought. Perhaps it was something else, as this observation occurred some time ago, and I don't want to give any false information, since it was a wonderful experience for my brother and me, one I will never forget." The case file contains water damage.
