I am ready to move on with the show and drop all of the nonsense around my encounter. There was a lot of light the night of our encounter. At the end of the day I cannot prove my encounter but I never lied about it either. I do not know anything about solar flares or the moon phases all I can tell people is it was a bright night and I swear there was a full moon.
I wanted to take a moment and thank Ken for researching this and sending it to me.

“There was a gigantic solar flare on Nov 16th 2012 in fact that entire week. There was global documentation of bright Auroral activity (e.g. northern lights) for the weeks around that time globally. Northern lights aren’t always a bright light show it can simply appear to be brighter out at times as if it was a full moon! I study space weather for radiation damage to X-ray & digital sensors from these events seem to remember that date as a big flare day! We wouldn’t allow products to ship or fly northern routes to Alaska and on to China and Japan during that period”
Giant Sun Eruption Captured in NASA Video

The sun unleashed a monster eruption of super-hot plasma Friday (Nov. 16) in back-to-back solar storms captured on camera by a NASA spacecraft.
The giant sun eruption, called a solar prominence, occurred at 1 a.m. EST (0600 GMT), with another event flaring up four hours later. The prominences was so large, it expanded beyond the camera view of NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which captured high-definition video of the solar eruption.
In the video, a colossal loop of glowing red plasma erupts from the lower left of the sun, arcing up and out of frame as it blasts away from the star.
“The red-glowing looped material is plasma, a hot gas made of electrically charged hydrogen and helium,” officials with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, which oversees the SDO mission, explained in a description. “The prominence plasma flows along a tangled and twisted structure of magnetic fields generated by the sun’s internal dynamo. An erupting prominence occurs when such a structure becomes unstable and bursts outward, releasing the plasma.”
Friday’s solar eruption does not appear to be aimed at Earth, so will likely have little effect on our planet. But that was not the case earlier this week when a powerful solar flare erupted on Monday (Nov. 12). That flare registered as an M6-class
