§993

‘I was a high school student when it happened around 11 PM in the summer of 2013. I was busy with homework in my room when my mother called me from the salon to come immediately. I found her standing by the window, looking up. Coming by her side we witnessed the formation of orb-shaped lights of warm colours (red, yellow and green) hovering above my street, quite above the highest building in my neighbourhood but below the clouds. Maybe a hundred metres or lower. It’s hard to tell how big they were from that distance, but probably more than one metre in orb radius. Their light was strong and uniform in all directions, but not blinding. The window was open, but we didn’t hear any sounds. There were no people on the road, and we never asked our neighbours if they saw anything that day. There were six orbs that slowly changed colours, flying in the sky in a manner different from drones, planes or birds. At they were gliding slowly forming a ring, then suddenly they broke the pattern into three pairs circling each other playfully, something like chasing one another. Then again, they separated and started moving erratically in different directions, some in zigzag patterns, some moving vertically, some horizontally. This movement was particularly odd because in that formation they seemed to be moving very fast, almost instantly, in any direction, without the limitations our flying machines have. After these motions, the lights once again formed the revolving ring, gaining speed until they flew upwards into the clouds, one by one. There was a one to two second interval between the orbs escaping the ring until they all disappeared in the clouds. The whole experience lasted no more than two minutes, though me and my mother weren’t really thinking about counting time. We were really focused on what was happening, both felt quite calm and relaxed. Before my arrival, my mother told me that she had been checking our gateway when she had noticed the orbs descending from the clouds one by one, similarly to how they departed. My interest in fairies started a few months later for completely different reasons and somewhere along the way I connected my experience with fairy phenomena after reading about similar accounts of ‘fairy lights’. The orbs felt more like living entities than devices or machines, their way of moving and changing colour felt playful and deliberate, like dancing or playing a game. Truth be told, from the academic perspective I’d prefer to witness more humanoid entities, but you gotta be careful with wishes, especially when fairies come into play!’ ‘Flying orbs of coloured light, perhaps with light hiding something/someone beyond the glow.’ ‘It’s an ordinary, busy street, though it was empty at the time.’ ‘I was never really into UFO stuff that seems to be a first ‘logical’ conclusion to things flying in the sky. The lights felt like actual beings having fun in the sky, without a particular reason for a visit.’ Fairies are ‘some kind of beings different in nature from us, but still belonging to this world. It seems we have mutual history, influencing each other in different ways.’
