I see it everyday. I came out to smoke and I noticed something unusual. A light on the ridge, illuminating the sky. I thought it may have been a headlamp. But in my entire year of living here in Springdale I've yet to see any person on the ridge of the Watchman, much less at night. What I did manage to get a picture of is whatever light source it was "climb" over to where you see it in the picture. I say climb because this light source almost bounced around, not a linear motion. I thought maybe someone is canyoneering? But again at 10:00pm at night would be incredibly reckless and unsafe. And there was only one light source when generally you would have more than one person with you while canyoneering. And also the distance from where it illuminated to where it disappeared and the seconds it took to travel that far are impractical and unrealistic. I snapped the photo. Between looking at my phone to verify the image and my eyes readjusting to the darkness again, it was gone. I sat for another 20 minutes with no sign that anything was ever there. I even thought maybe the photo was a star blurred from movement while taking the photo. I tried multiple times and could not recreate the same effect. I posted three photos: one as I saw it, the second illustrated and the third is a picture seconds after. The entire thing lasted maybe 60 seconds.
