The Encounter

The person experienced a UAP encounter while walking in a park during the peak of the Perseid meteor shower. It was a clear night, and they noticed a bright orange light in the distance. The light hovered silently for about 20 seconds before moving to the left and flashing. The person filmed the light and tried to determine its nature, considering it might be an aircraft but noting that the light's behavior was unusual. They felt no connection to the light and did not experience any typical feelings associated with previous sightings. The encounter left them confused and seeking opinions from others about what they saw.
