Orbs appear during severe storm.
April 7, 2006 was not a nice day. Partly cloudy skies in the morning gave way to severe storms around 6 PM. A supercell thunderstorm was moving in, and there was a severe thunderstorm warning for nearby Grainger County. Witnesses on television said that they had seen a funnel cloud heading in the direction of Maynardville.
My house is located about 1/2 a mile from the foot of Signal Point, a mountain that makes up part of the Clinch range. To the east is this mountain, to the west is House Mountain.
I was standing on the porch of my house, looking in a southeasterly direction toward Highway 11W and the Cherokee Reservoir.
Suddenly, I noticed seven white orbs that I first thought were lights. There were four in a diamond pattern, and three in a triangle shape in the center.
I watched for only about five seconds, then my wife and I went to our basement.
