Fuzzy Glow in the Sky
by Smegbub

I know this is going to sound really off the wall, but for a year I've been stewing over something I saw in the sky last year. I work a late shift, and frequently get home well after midnight. I usually look up to the sky to hopefully catch a stray meteorite or, when I hear of it, a look at a comet. One night last August I arrived home, locked up the car and did my normal scan of the sky. I didn't expect anything like what I saw then. The moon was getting lower in the sky and a small line of clouds was moving in from the West. Ahead of those clouds was, well, all I can describe it as was a fuzzy ball. It was approximately one tenth the size of the full moon. It was illuminated, but not from any outside light source. It had a glow from within itself. The edges of the ball were fuzzy, but still had a distinct outline. It moved from south to north then back to the south. It sped from a center point in one direction, then, like it was attached to a rubber band, snapped back in the other direction. It just kept going back and forth. I watched this object for just a few minutes. It just kept snapping back and forth, speeding to a point then going in the opposite direction. It looked like it was lit from within, but still reflected light from the moon. I'm not a crazy. And, until then, I had never seen anything odd in the sky. But this thing just raised the hair on my back and arms. It was spooky. I purposely looked away and walked to the house. When I got to our back porch I looked up to make sure I was imagining something. That ball was still there. That scared the hell out of me. I got in the house as fast as I could. A short time later I looked out the window in the same spot, but clouds had covered the area. I've not seen anything like that since. I don't know if it was imagination, or something real. It still makes me feel uncomfortable when I think of it.
