Orbs Often Mentioned in Year 2025 UFO Review

 On the site of the Center for UFO Studies, there is a page entitled "2025, The Year in Review."  The page has a chronological account of UFO reports from last year. Below are all the references to orbs and spheres:

• "January 21 — 5:00 a.m. A witness near Hopwood, Pennsylvania, notices a light outside his window that is coming from three spherical objects, each the size of a basketball, sitting in his yard. They immediately come together to form a single white light that is much brighter and shoots up into the sky after a few seconds. (Stan Gordon, 'Three Glowing Orbs on the Ground Rise Straight Up into the Sky in Pennsylvania,' Stan Gordon’s UFO Anomalies Zone, February 1, 2025)."
• "June 12 — Former AARO Deputy Director Timothy Phillips states in an interview with the New York Post that the agency is puzzled by fiery orbs and black, triangular-shaped UFOs. These cases include “unusual flight characteristics and performance anomalies that we don’t understand,” ('Bombshell: Pentagon Created Fake UFO Evidence, Promoted False Alien Stories,' New York Post YouTube channel, June 12, 2025; Christopher Sharp, 'Former Pentagon Investigator Warns of UFOs with Characteristics ‘We Could Not Duplicate Today,' Liberation Times, June 12, 2025)."
• Giving a date of July 2, the article has a link to the very striking video here, which shows a large pulsating orb on the horizon. 
• There's a reference to the post “Daylight Luminous Orb Approaches Witness and Makes Physical Contact in Pennsylvania,” Stan Gordon’s UFO Anomalies Zone, July 27, 2025). We have this description: "July 17 — 2:30–3:00 p.m. A woman is walking to her backyard garden near Monaca, Pennsylvania, when she sees a glowing white sphere about the size of a basketball about 5 feet above her sidewalk and blocking her way. It begins moving slowly toward her, stopping about 2 inches away. Then it moves closer and touches her. It seems to be metallic, but not stiff, and a bit cold. When it begins to push, she backs away, stumbles, and falls backward on the ground. The sphere hovers above her for a couple seconds, then vanishes."
• September 9: "Nuccetelli reports several encounters with UAPs at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California between 2003 and 2005. He describes incidents involving large, bright objects over critical defense areas, such as the glowing red square that hovered above the base on October 14, 2003, as well as appearances of triangular objects and light orbs that move in an unusual fashion and appear solid. Nuccetelli also shares a personal experience in his backyard, when a large blue-white orb rapidly changed position in the sky. ""
• "November 11 — 11:13 p.m. A man driving from Bloomington to Danvers, Illinois, notices a large number of deer and raccoons on the road, all running away from Kings Mill Creek. He sees a gold sphere about 500 feet above the woods moving silently in a 'rapid, almost yo-yo-like, circular motion.' (National UFO Reporting Center, “NUFORC UFO Sighting 194009,” November 13, 2025)."
