Stationary Orb Formation Near Helicopter Rotor Disk
The crew observed two large oval-shaped orange orbs with white or yellow centers that were stationary just above the helicopter's rotor disk, followed by two or three additional orbs forming a T-formation below them, emitting light in all directions for 10-15 seconds.
“Through NVGx, the pilots and I (using the naked eye) observed two large orbs flare up side-by-side, close to the helicopter – stationary and just above the rotor disk to our right. They were oval-shaped, orange with a white or yellow center, and emitted light in all directions. After a few seconds, a third orb flared up below the pair, followed by a fourth below that, forming a total of four or five in a "T" formation under the original two.”
