Narrative

Time: May 22nd around 2322 Location: 10 miles south of Tijeras, NM facing due west at about 45 degrees up from the horizon We'd been stargazing for the past hour then started to head back, luckily I turned around and saw it, that's when I started recording with my camera. As soon as the woman I was with pulled out her phone to start filming, that's when it disappeared and never came back. submitted by /u/OverwatchMeta
