On a crisp night in late September 2010, something remarkable unfolded over Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. At 11:41 PM, my eyes caught movement far above—bright lights cutting through the darkness. At first, there was a single glowing orb, luminous and steady. Then, as if conjured from the shadows, a second light appeared, matching its partner’s brilliance.
These lights didn’t just hover; they performed an intricate dance, circling each other with a mesmerizing rhythm. At times, the lights vanished behind the clouds only to reappear instantly, adding an almost otherworldly quality to the spectacle. For a full five minutes, this luminous ballet played out, painting the night sky with mystery and awe.
The spectacle was devoid of any identifiable features—just radiant lights weaving in synchronized patterns that defied simple explanation. This encounter left me with an unsettling mixture of wonder and curiosity, a reminder that the night sky still holds secrets beyond our reach.
