Full Description & Details

To whomever reads this. Rest assured this is a real exerience. Even though this occured back in 96 I still remember it very clearly, and I feel it is important that I report this now.

Behind my home was a wooded area. I frequently went for bikerides and played there at that time I was 13 years old. It was the middle of the day, while me and a younger friend of mine were playing with an ant colony in the woods. One of us turned around and alerted the other to a strange band of light floating several feet above the ground a few meteres away from us. We did not know at first what it was so we stood there at first questioning eachother what it was and wether or not it was some sort of optical illusion. It was moving somewhat erratically up and down but in an overall direction towards us. To our horror, it approaced within 1 metre of us and we realised this was no illusion and ran out from the woods and home.

Looking back on this, I dont know whether it was something spiritual or some sort of bizarre craft.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Some sort of optical illusion involving a reflection of the suns rays against spider webs or other objects in the woods.
