unusually vivid memories of the experience

‘It was a columnular cluster of translucent pale blue almost metallic with sparkles elongated slender many insect-like wings flapping. Weirdest looking thing I ever saw! Maybe a portal? They suddenly poofed off into thin air as I got twenty-feet distance from it. The wings were long three and a half inches each dragonfly-like with the tip sorta like a comma butterfly top wing portion. It was like pillar of sparkling flapping wings eighteen inches just above the sandy beach border to a forest environment. Absolutely mind boggling, I have no good explanation for this other than the wings resemble the legendary fairy creature or some kind of extraterrestrial insect? Ok it’s really hard to describe it but I tried.’ ‘I did not see any bodies the wings were protruding in a three hundred and sixty degree column and there was many of them perhaps thirty or more. If there was any bodies it would have been in the lighted up central core region of the columnular structure. It looked ethereal transparent as if they were made of light energy!’ ‘There was no sound although I thought I may have heard a very faint buzzing crackling sound when I got close to it.’ ‘I heard people that talked to me saw strange things but did not elaborate on that beach while they stayed overnight on it.’ ‘It could have been any one of those or I can’t easily identify something so strange other than the all [sic] I’m asking for is: What is it??? All I see is funny wings and all I can speculate is it looks like a FAIRY WINGS?’ ‘I wish I could ask a fairy what it is, I’m puzzled maybe it [is] interdimensional and they come out of portals if that’s what that thing was!’ ‘Well wings aren’t made swamp gas and there’s nothing igniting it cause there’s no methane smell its clean fresh air. The only other scientific thing is electrical plasma coming out of the ground but why wings? funny insect wing things flapping it makes no sense. You tell me! And I saw flying saucer few years ago that’s another one I can’t explain.’
