Why the long face?
I just had a weird ass experience. Sitting outside watching the stars. Suddenly, the area around me lit up. It came from my left so I didn't see where it came from. First I looked for someone with a flashlight, then the sky for clouds or lightening. I thought maybe ball lightening since it seemed to come from above and behind me.
It was very strange. The 'light' had a blue tinge and everything illuminated had a grayish look.
It went away as quickly as it came and left me with more questions than answers.
