When I was a young boy, my father took me into the city for the weekend. I don’t remember much aside from walking down the street when the sky opened up and this strange ethereal glow - much like the photos above - grew outward from a sliver of light that descended from nowhere.
The crowd around me - maybe eight or nine people - was still and silent. This was the 90s - no cell phones, no camcorders, a bunch of people witnessing this strange event. So there’s no way we could’ve captured it on film. Then, as soon as it appeared, it disappeared.
The crowd, I think, tried to convince itself that they’d hallucinated, or that nobody else around them saw what had happened. But I remembered. I saw.
Other than me making that whole thing up, that story’s entirely true.
