The Encounter

The experiencer is Nick, a warehouse manager from Hampton, Virginia. On the night of October 28th, he went outside to look at the sky after a conversation about spirituality with his girlfriend. He noticed a bright, pulsating light that he initially thought was a star. As he observed it, he recorded the object, describing it as a doughnut shape with a black center and a thick ring of light. The object moved back and forth for about 20 minutes before he went inside. After the encounter, Nick felt excited and grateful, reflecting on the strange coincidence of thinking about his deceased friend before seeing the object. He remains uncertain about what he witnessed, considering possibilities like a drone or something more mysterious.
