Remarks We saw the start of the phenomenae, it went from a slight light to a very intense light that decreased in size until after 10 seconds later where the light started to subside until it dissapeared at around 20 to 30 seconds after the original start, we were stargazing at the time in a terrace with no light obstructing our vision, my stargazing companion at the time was Lisa Vannelli show qualifies herself as an expert stargazer with more than 30 years of experience and she never saw anything even close to this.
