It dropped like on a rubber band, a rapid acceleration downwards that started to slow as if against a logrithmic resistance, until it stopped for an instant then sprang back up, slowing the same way at the top. It would pause momentarily at the top, and then start downward again. It also slowly moved around in the sky from side to side from drop to drop as if the starting point was changing slightly. The light was deep red, but not all that bright, and very small. The total length of the drop seemed to be about a few thousand feet, seen from perhaps ten miles away. It was fascinating, actually, a lot of fun to watch and Twilight Zone music would have been perfect. I was laughing because I was utterly mystified by it, but it was 3AM and there was no one to talk to but my frozen telescope (it was winter).
Fascinating.
I wonder . . . how many such . . . light shows . . . have a hypnotic frequency component to them.
Interesting question I hadn’t thought of until reading your description.
Thanks.
HERE’S ANOTHER FREEPER’S anonymous EXPERIENCE, OBSERVATIONS, DESCRIPTION:
Paragraphing changed and spelling tidied up a bit.
= = = = = = =
It was one of the most astounding things, if not the most, in my life.
My observation was different than most as I saw the crafts in broad daylight, no mysterious lights in the sky or such.
The crafts were what is called cigar shaped, and I didn’t understand what that meant until I saw them and then I understood.
I’ve come to think that if one viewed a “flying saucer”, which would be more like two saucers placed together with the concave sides together and the convex sides forming the top and bottom, when viewed from the side it would appear like a cigar shape. Go get two saucers and put them together and you’ll get the idea of what I mean.
The crafts I saw, and there were two of them that seemed to be flying in formation in other words keeping the same distance and speed relative to one another, were a whitish grey color, not silver, not reflective, but not perfectly white either.
I viewed them for about a minute or so and then they disappeared over the trees. I couldn’t tell their altitude as I had no frame of reference so haven’t a guess as to their size. I couldn’t see any features of the crafts, just observed them going along. Kind of like a couple of bus loads of tourists I’ve come to think.
Thanks for believing me, so many don’t that I seldom speak of it.
