I turned and ran

A listener writes “Hello, about a year ago, me and two friends were on a late night jog. We live in a desert community, no trees, just a lot of low laying shrubs.

We took a trail that veered away from our neighborhood into the desert. We saw a bush that was illuminated from inside. From a distance we were thinking it was a bum lighting a cigarette behind a bush. As we got closer to it we realized there was no one around. At this point we were about 30 feet from it.

The light was similar to a candle light. Both in color and intensity, but it was more of a floating ball. We decided to turn around and go back where we came from. As we were walking away, now about 50 yards away, I jokingly said to my buddies, “What if we turned around it was following us.” Sure as sh**, I turned my head back around and saw this light now higher off the ground, coming straight at us at a speed much like a world class sprinter. It took me about two seconds of realizing what was happening, before I turned and ran. I was much faster than my buddies and I easily out ran them back to the safety of our neighborhood. As I got a safe distance I turned around and saw my friends running towards me, and the ball of light, just before it reached them, shot up into the night sky until it was no longer visible.

My friends ended up telling me they saw exactly what I did. But they did not see it shoot up. I was the only one who saw it do that.

Anyways, just heard your episode on the ball of light from Matt. Just thought I would share that.

Big Fan”
