‘This happened in 2011 in the summer several nights of one week. Not sure of the month now. We slept with the windows open and I had been having trouble going to sleep that week. I would often sleep with my head at the foot of the bed so I could see out into the backyard and the woods beyond that. The first night I awoke feeling extremely peaceful and noticed a bright whiteish light that changed in color to a indigo violet color buzzing in a very erratic motion inside the frame of my window. So fast that the light had tracers. As I cleared my eyes to make sure what I was seeing I watched it just zip off without a trace. The next few nights there was an unusual calmness, none of the animals made noises. And I notice colored lights that faded in white and back into colors throughout the trees of the woods behind my house, these were not fireflies. The closest were about two hundred and fifty feet from my window and still the size and brightness of old time Christmas light bulbs. They were very high and like one or two per tree, there was no noise like bugs or frogs. The woods on my property and the next both had them in the trees. They sort of faded bright to dark constantly. I would shine flash lights on the trees and would not see anything and the lights wouldn’t shine. But they would when the flashlight was off of them. Not sure what they were I noticed the property next to mine had glittery rings about thirty foot in diameter across a field and it glistened like light shining on diamonds. But when you went close there was no glistening and nothing obvious making the apparition. After a week the lights stopped but I continued to see the rings for many months. I tried to get other people to notice them but no one ever admitted to seeing them.’
