Weird Orb & Light Spotted In Richland, Washington.

“I want to believe!”

That is the quote on the poster hanging on the wall of FBI agent Fox Mulder’s office in the legendary TV series The X-Files!

The show’s been off the air for a while (even though it had some attempted comebacks and spinoffs), but I still want to believe.

I had my own UFO encounter in Sunnyside, Washington. You can read all about that here.

I didn’t think what I saw was aliens, but it was still a UFO… unidentified, flying object!

I don’t think this video classifies as a UFO.

Posted on Reddit by user ‘dirtcamp17’ is a video that the user took from South Richland late at night on Tuesday, August 20th.

“Anybody know what these lights are? Will take aliens for an answer.”

To me, the light in the background looks like a spotlight (like is most popularly seen in Batman movies).

In Yakima, we used to have a furniture store that had a midnight sale, and it was called a “Harvey Moon” event. Around that timeframe, you’d see the spotlight sweeping above the city.

Watching the video, that is what it reminds me of.

I’m more curious about the little white orb in the middle. What is it? A Ghost? Bug? Lens flair? Yeah, probably a flair!

Most people on Reddit point out that the light came from a huge spotlight rotating in the Finley area.

And the rest of the people who chimed in stated the obvious, that it must be some sort of aliens… possibly at the fair with a huge spotlight!
