I Have Something to Say

When I was about 14 years old, I went on a camping trip with my family. We stayed at Bear Creek in Marion County, AL. After a day of fishing and swimming, we turned in for the night around 10:00. Since I had trouble sleeping, as usual, I was eventually the only one awake. The flap near my head was open on the tent, allowing me to see up into the sky. I was blown away by how many stars there were. At some point, I noticed something in the sky approaching. It was a bright light. It wasn't blinking, and there was no sound coming from it. It was quite large, like the size of a full moon. It gracefully passed over, illuminating the tops of the trees. All I could do was watch in awe. I was the only person, to my knowledge, seeing this. I believe this was the beginning of a series of events in my life. I have seen more things like this throughout my life, some of which were terrifying. It's something I still struggle with. There are many details I never discuss, but it would be nice to do so.
