The Encounter

The experiencer, Jonathan Butner, was at his residence near Langley Air Force Base on December 14th, 2023, planning to watch a meteor shower. Around 7:15 PM, he observed red and orange blinking lights moving in a conveyor belt pattern from Virginia Beach towards the base. The lights appeared as large, round orbs that sometimes hovered over the base. Butner noted that these lights did not resemble typical drones or aircraft, as they lacked uniform blinking patterns and did not have visible wings or rotors. He also saw a larger, lens-shaped object with three white lights that circled the area. After the encounter, Butner felt that what he witnessed was anomalous and expressed a desire to share his experience with authorities for further investigation.
