Name | Cynthia M |
Experience Level | 3/5 |
Remarks | Seriously freaked me out! Backyard lit up like early sunrise for too many seconds, then faded slowly at first then was gone. No lights outside to account for it, no sounds, no barking from my dogs. Was watch TV in house, can see backyard from my chair via Patio. I can not figure out any other logically reason. No helicopters, not neighbors, nothing in my backyard when I got the nerve to go look.... Never seen anything like that in my life before & I have seen meteor shower before. Light...zip...gone. This was very different! |
