I was walking home from a nearby convenient store and i began to feel very strange, not necessarily in a bad way, but it was definitely a surreal feeling. the apparent composition of the air changed suddenly (humidity, maybe air pressure) and i felt mentally detached. my house was east and the phenomenon was west (the opposite direction), but for some reason, i felt very compelled to turn around and look up. what i saw was very alarming, it was very bright in relation to distant stars in the sky and the lights on the ground. i thought it was a supernova or some kind of really bright star, but within seconds i knew otherwise. at first it was the shape of an orb, constantly morphing (not a perfect circle). i took out my samsung and started taking pictures of it, because it was so bright and mesmerizing. within a minute, it changed shape rapidly: going from a ball into a short wide line, and than from that into a long thin line, eventually returning to a ball/orb. i stopped taking pictures and began walking home because i felt weird standing there taking pictures of the sky for longer than a minute.
