TL;DR

A 1967 Project 10073 record detailing a sighting of a luminescent spherical object in Fargo, North Dakota, by two reliable witnesses. The case remains officially classified as unidentified.

On February 25, 1967, in Fargo, North Dakota, two youths, aged 16 and 18, observed an unidentified aerial phenomenon. According to the investigating officer and Dr. J. Allen Hynek, who personally investigated the case, the witnesses were considered reliable. The witnesses reported seeing a luminescent 'blob' that rose from the ground and accelerated in a northeasterly direction. The observation lasted between two and four minutes under dark, partly cloudy conditions. The witnesses captured two Polaroid photographs of the object. Analysis of these photographs, combined with the verbal accounts, indicated the object was roughly spherical in shape with a diameter of approximately five feet or larger. The report concludes that the object's appearance resembled a hypothetical plasma ball, noting that this could serve as an explanation if the physical existence of such plasma balls can be established. The case was officially classified as 'Unidentified'.

In outward appearance the glow resembled a hypothetical plasma ball and this could be the explanation if it can be shown that such plasma balls are physically possible.
