Mother and Son Witness a Flying ApparitionThis is a featured page

I've been trying to research my incident online and have come up with zero references for so perhaps some of your readers may have insight into it.

The other night, my son and I were on the couch in our apartment watching TV. All of the lights were off. Suddenly we both jumped at the same time as we saw a strange apparition fly by our balcony. We're on the third floor so not too high up and the door and curtains were open giving us a clear view to the outside. What we saw was large and judging from the distance between our building and the neighboring building which is approximately 60-70 ft away, it was halfway between the two.
It was a whitish, slightly opaque-like amorphous blob about 10ft by 15ft across. It moved as though it was like a cloud or a mist being blown in a very brisk wind, changing shape constantly. There was no noise aside from the usual street noises.

However, if it were that windy, a mist or cloud wouldn't retain its shape for that long. We saw it pass our balcony and then the further window in a straight line as though traveling toward some goal in the distance. The way it moved indicated that it was purposeful as though in a breeze yet the weird thing is there was no breeze at all. I went out later to test if there was wind and its speed and direction and noted that a very slight air movement was coming out of the north to the south and that thing was traveling in the opposite direction from the south to the north.

We both looked at each other afterward in amazement and said at the same time, "did you just see that? and Yes! What was that thing?!" We exchanged our brief descriptions of what we had both seen and tentatively looked out the balcony door to see if we could see it...but it was gone.

A side note...if it had been any sort of material traveling in a freak wind at that moment its direction, speed and height from the ground would have brought it directly into a grove of trees at the edge of the property where it would have been tangled in the branches or fallen to the ground in a parking lot and swept to the edges of the property into a chain link fence. Further searches of these areas have yielded nothing that would fit the description of this thing.

If anyone out there has seen or heard of such a thing I would sure love to know about your experiences or thoughts.

Thanks kindly,
Pema

Well Pema, it's a well narrated report. It looks as though both you and your son paid attention to not just the event but also to wind (breeze) speed and direction vs. the speed, direction and altitude of this, for lack of a better term at this point, "apparition".

I do have a couple of questions for you though, don't worry if you can't answer any or some of them.
(1) I take it this happened just this month, Aug./ 09?
(2) What time of night was it?
(3) If it was dark, is there much in the way of lighting between the two buildings?
(4) Do you have any idea how fast it might of been traveling?
(5) What was the weather doing........humid? raining? had been raining that day? dry?
(6) Finally, in what part of the world, what part of the country do you live in?

Sorry about all the questions Pema, it's just that the more information we have, the better the chances of getting some answers for you.
Do you find this valuable?
