• When: August 14th, 2016
• Where: Abbotsford, British Colombia, Canada
• What: Bright solid sphere hovers and then takes off

A really amazing, clear photo showing a bright sphere of light hovering low to ground has been submitted to MUFON (case 101652). According to the secondhand testimony, the UFO hovered for 30 minutes before it took off into the mountains! What is really compelling about this case is the photo metadata details, including the time and date that the photo was taken, match up to the witness report and the photo also doesn't appear to be tampered with:

metal sphere hovers for about 30 mins then takes off straight into the mountain

Photo doesn't do it justice, I was on facetime with mom in the summer talking, and then all the sudden she stopped and was looking off into the distance with a strange expression. She tried to flip the camera to show me but it wasn't working and I could barely make it out. She then sent me this picture. She stayed outside watching this sphere for 30 mins as it hovered and then it took off straight into the mountain. Never saw it again

What do you think is going on here? Could we be looking at something paranormal, like a spirit orb? Or something alien? Or could this be an example of a weird, but natural phenomenon, like ball lightning? Share your thoughts below in the comments, or on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram!
