| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was having a conversation outside with my friend and all of a sudden there was a bright circular light that was already in my line of view. From the point where it started till it ended it looked like a few centimeters across the night sky but it was as if someone was on the "paint" application on the computer and they used a circular eraser to create a streak across an all black template. It went from left to right leaving a streak, spiraled out of control, and then disappeared right in front of my eyes. For the first 1-2 seconds I had to rub my eyes to know if I was seeing things correctly and when I realized the ball of light was still there after I rubbed my eyes I knew it had to be real. It vanished a second after |
