At about 20: 40, near the North Pole of Alaska in the northeast, my wife and I witnessed an "orange sphere" hovering low over the horizon to the east of where I observed and videotaped two similar objects on September 24, 1998.

At first I saw it in the kitchen window of our hut and called to my wife, who was sitting on the sofa, to come to the window, but the sphere disappeared before she could get to the window, and I went to get my coat and go outside to get more wood when I saw this object.

Then I saw her again through another window, which seemed to have been left over from the original place. I called my wife again, and she looked at her, saying that it must be the light from the house. I reminded her that there were no houses where there was light, then she said I was leaving and stood at the kitchen window watching him while she put on her coat. I went outside before her and watched.

The light was spinning and was surrounded by a bright orange fire, about 1/10 the size of the full moon, then it disappeared, so I went back and said it was gone. My wife said: "No, he's back," as she was still standing by the kitchen window.

I looked out and saw her leave, and I went upstairs to get the video camera. She was in Slough (the Chena River flood) and saw him clearly (before he sometimes hid behind the trees) while I was getting the camera out, I turned on the camera when I went out the door, she disappeared when I went out.

My wife was pale as a sheet and speechless, because she watched the video on September 24 and now saw what was on the video in real life.

Duration of observation: 20 minutes.
