Below are various reports from Chapter 15 of the book The Unexplained: A Sourcebook of Strange Phenomena by William R. Corliss.
- In 1897 a bright ball of light was seen to descend and float about six feet above the ground.
- A G. Gilmore reported in the journal Nature in 1919 that he saw a luminous ball lying on the street, and that it vanished with a loud noise.
- An M. F. Faulkner reported in 1964 that his father saw a small egg-shaped ball of brilliant light which spread out to become a sheet of greenish light about 12 feet. "The whole sight then vanished as suddenly as it appeared, with a loud bang," Faulkner reported.
- In 1967 a G. S. Sheldon reported a ball of brilliant blue light descending from a cloud. It passed behind or into a cloud, but seemed to reappear as a ball of bright red light.
- In 1749 someone reported a ball of blue fire rolling along the water.
- An aircraft pilot named M. A. Uman reported in 1968 that a yellow-white ball of light about 18 inches in diameter passed through his windshield and went moving about in his aircraft, seen by multiple witnesses. It soon left the aircraft and was seen on the wing. The ball of light made no noise.
- The next year an R. C. Jennison reported seeing a similar ball of light (20 centimeters in width) coming from the cabin of the aircraft he was on.
- A Frederic B. Mohr reported in 1966 that a relative had seen a ball of light the size of a basketball, which suddenly disappeared.
