| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Elias F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was very strange, almost scary to see this without knowing what it was. I thought I was about to be abducted. What spooked me in particular was what I saw afterwards, it looked as if there were two, very slim lines closing in on eachother before vanishing. |
