I awoke at 5:20am and turned on my computer and my outdoor security camera immediately sounded an alarm. A large bright plasma ball about 3 feet in diameter was fluctuating just outside the back door above the driveway to the North. The plasma ball fluctuated in hight and length to about 8 feet. I went outside to see it and it was completely invisible to the naked eye, however it appeared on my infra-red security camera. It cast dark shadow on the ground which fluctuated in conjunction with its movement. It remain visible on video for one hour until sunrise, and when my camera changed from infra-red to color, the object appeared as thousands of black pixels flashing against the now colored background including pixel shadow on the ground and then disappeared. There were two witnesses who saw my video recording the following day. I was not afraid, but the experience has changed my life forever. I found myself unable to think of anything else for over a week. I feel that it was a "plasma entity" and made itself visible and known to me for some unknown reason. Similar smaller fluctuating plasma entities have been captured on my infra-red video cameras since and have been viewed by other family members. I was the single witness to the actual event, however multiple people have viewed my infra-red video security camera footage. Original video was accidentally lost, but witnesses can confirm the event. I would like to be interviewed in person and will show other infra-red video I have of smaller plasma entities that visited on October 12, 2014.
