A strange bright light appeared to the west of Raleigh, NC, at 19:15 hours on 9=10=09.
I was sitting on my porch just before sun down and heard a ringing in my ear, I then noticed a bright light in the western sky that looked just like the north star in size, brightness, and hieght from the ground. The light was a solid sphere with no glow,trail, or flashes.
The light then began to slowly shrink down to nothing over a period of about 10 seconds while maintaining its shape with no trail or change in brightness. It appeared to me that the object was moving directly away from me at a high rate of speed and shrinking.
I heard no sound except the ringing in my ear that lasted only 2-3 seconds after I first saw the object. I saw no detail in the object and it appeared to be very far away from my location.
((NUFORC Note: Correct date is unclear. We have changed it above, to reflect the statement in the body of the text above, which asserts that the sighting occurred on September 10, 2009, the date on which the report was submitted to NUFORC. PD))
