Long enough for me to look all around and see everything in detail all around me. It stopped pretty quick and disappeared and it was dark again. Both my friends saw the same thing and were speechless afterwards other then a "what the fuuuuck...".


I would have guessed I was imagining it or something, but there was nothing preceding the event, no obvious noise or anything, and then afterwards all the birds and bugs in the night were silent. DEAD silent. Then entire woods. One bird eventually let out a few lonely chirps until the rest of the forest chimed in... but I'll never forget that shit.


I googled and found some Canadian Space group the next day and called them up to report it. The guy seemed a little taken aback by the story and asked if I was on drugs or something.


I swear I'll never forget that shit.
