USAF Veteran witnessed a glowing amber pulsating ball floating in a field. While driving my asthmatic wife at 0255 hours, during an asthmatic episode, to open up her lungs. Myself…a USAF veteran, with 4 1/2 years of flight line experience, working night shift, viewing normal flight patterns, witnessed an amber pulsating ball floating in a field to the right of the road we were traveling. The circular light was eye level with me driving my vehicle. The field was around 6 feet lower than the road I was traveling in a valley surrounded my forest. The ball was glowing an amber color but pulsating light with small light glowing beneath it. The light looked like a dim flame or my best description of it is it looked as if it was a reflection of light off a lake but in the air. To me it looked more like some kind of energy source over a physical object because of the unusual light it was emitting. After questioning what we witnessed we turned around and confirmed our sighting. Because of my wife’s fragile condition, I was unable to park and investigate, and document, the sighting.
