I want to first and foremost start this post by saying that this experience I am going to share was by far one of the most glued into my memory experiences I’ve ever had. I know that I may be recalling something that happened over 10 years ago. I also want to note that my love of the sky and stars is something that I’ve had since I was single digits in age. And there is not a doubt in my mind that what I am going to describe below absolutely occurred and was most definitely not a naturally occurring phenomenon. To help anyone visualize further, I will also be pasting a link to a video that was as close in some ways and nearly identical in other ways to what I witnessed. I am much more interested in seeing if there is anyone else in this community that saw the same thing as I did and am curious to read the whatever recollection they may have (similar or different). Nothing that anyone can say or try to ridicule or negate this post will make me feel as if this was some kind of a hallucination, imaginative viewing, lucid dream, drug induced vision or psychosis related episode. Hopefully that will be made clear before the end of your reading this post as well as any corroborating testimony that I am looking to discover from you guys. TESTIMONY/EXPERIENCE : 👇🏼 I know that I am starting this off on shaky grounds by giving a vague recollection as to the year that I witnessed this occurrence but lend me grace on this because it happened over a decade ago. But I undoubtedly was between the ages of 13 to 14. So this instance occurred in the spring (April/May) of 2012-2013. At that time I lived in Windsor, CT. And as I’m sure many from all over can understand, would often get out of school, get home, eat, get on my bike and ride around for hours either with my friends or by myself. On this day, I had just separated with my group of friends and begun to ride home. I had 3 different major routes that I’d take home, depending on my location or my preference for the day that I’d want to take. One of these usual routes that I would take was through the less traveled, back road route through the Nationally recognized school campus by the name of Loomis Chaffee. It was maybe 5:45/6:00 pm because it was the particularly beautiful point in the day where the sun was just dipping bellow the top of the tree line and the sky was painted from bottom to top with that gorgeous gradients of deep red, to orange, to yellow and then to a pale purplish-blue. As I was traveling through the winding road that was in between the football field and the gym building (I think it was a gym). I was letting my wheels just roll as I looked up to my right to look at the sky. But as I started to examine closer at the colors of nature, I couldn’t help but notice a very bright, out of shade, orange ball that was almost pulsing in its luminosity. I slowed my bike down and had to sit still to make sure that I was actually seeing what I was actually looking at. This ball of light looked very much like a star. But was much too bright and also much too big given the time of day, to be visible in the way that it was. The closest description I can give is if the star Betelgeuse went supernova or was 100x larger to the eye than it is currently As I sat there in the middle of the two lane road, staring at whatever this was that I was looking at. A second light simply appeared perpendicularly staggered and to the right (at about a 20 degree angle) above the original light and almost 2 seconds after that light, a third orb illuminated directly aligned underneath the second one. So now there are 3 lights that are making a sideways oblique triangle with the head pointing to the west from my POV. At this point I was unable to understand what was happening. But in the back of my mind, I knew (and also definitely hoping) that I was witnessing what I think I was. But what happened next would solidify my silent internal belief. About 10 to 20 seconds after the three orbs seemingly phased into existence and remained suspended in that triangular fixed position. The 2 latter appearing orbs simultaneously started to move from left to right, with the original orb fixed and still unmoving. This was causing the west pointing triangle to switch from pointing west to east, back and forth. After an indeterminate amount of time (I was too captivated to keep track) a 4th orb and then a 5th orb appeared in an identical way similar way to the previous 2. But instead of being stationary when showing up. The 4th descended from the north (above) and the 5th elavated from the south (below) but both had stopped uniformly in distance from the original three lights, then they joined in the left to right movement but in the opposite direction. So now it was almost like I was looking at the constellation Cassiopeia in motion or flipping in its order. This continued for some time and all of a sudden they all stopped in one straight North to South line. Then the orb in the middle disappeared from view as if it was never there. The remaining four shifted into what looked like a connect-the-dots square that hadn’t been traced in yet. At this point in time. I snapped out of my astonished, trance like state and internally screamed “IDIOT.. RECORD THIS!!”. I then stood up from my bike seat, patting the outsides of my pockets, making sure to never once take my eyes off of what I was witnessing. As the 4 orbs started to rotate in a uniformly circular motion, never once losing their distance from one another. I finally managed to fumble my white, with blue trim Samsung Gravity that I still have to this day. (the one that slides up to expose the text message typing board .. OLD) and opened to the camera. Unfortunately, anyone who owned that phone can vouch as to the absolutely shit quality of the phone’s camera. After trying over and over to get focus on the orbs and even starting a video. I couldn’t see anything other than pinkish red pixels with small orange dots flickering in and out of frame. After abandoning any and all hope of being able to capture footage (Of course 🤦🏽‍♂️). I looked back at the sky at the still rotating orbs and after one final rotation. One after the other, breaking off at the exact same point from its rotation. Shot straight up so quickly, one after the other, and then somehow immediately stopped into a straight line of 4 orbs. At that very moment I remember saying to myself out loud “no plane can do that..” I witnessed the last thing that happened. The 5th orb that disappeared a minute or 90 seconds earlier, reappeared exactly to the right and perfectly centered between the middle 2 orbs, now essentially making a connect-the-dots east pointing oblique triangle with 4 dots at the base. Completely still, Not moving, not swaying. Nothing. Then as big and bright and clear as they appeared. Like a lightning bug that flies behind a tree in a field that it’s too dark for you to see. They disappeared out of view and stayed off… Everything that I have stated above, was, to the absolute BEST of my recollection. What I experienced on that Spring day in 2012-2013. I’m now really just hoping that this post reaches the eyes of anyone that is similarly lived, or is from my home state of CT during this time that may have experienced the event that I have shared with you all and have also NEVER been able to forget. But once again, in case there was any confusion on my account. I’ve shared a link to a video of the closest thing that I can attribute to what I’ve shared. It’s not exactly the same, but I’m sure y’all can see what I’m trying to communicate after watching it, if my illustration didn’t do the job. I hope this wasn’t too too long for y’all. Have a great rest of your days/weeks/years. Be safe to all of y’all and may you all find prosperity and happiness in whatever endeavors you find yourself pursuing. 💯 submitted by /u/PresentationKey1235 [link] [comments]
