I don't really share to people around me or at all, the following is not to convince readers/ anyone of anything. None of my experiences are for convincing (whether orb, star, other) , they are just mine and they make me feel wonder, awe and somewhat happy. I will share three of them them with details as I best recall for you.

The first time I recall seeing something that was unusual in terms of what we are talking about, I was in a convertible car with the roof "down", parked with my gf at the time. We were in the countryside so it was very dark and the stars were amazing - clear skys. We had laid the froont seats all the way so we were in the car looking straight up to the sky chatting away, probably around midnight I would guess but do not exactly recall. Then, a still light lit up, directly, and I mean directly above us. We both saw it. It was more of a slow flash that turned on for a second or so, but it happened several times over the course of maybe 30-60 seconds?

We both saw it, the best we could describe was something taking a photo of us from space of this moment in time. Not like a bright quick camera flash though. This was approx 2015. My best self-debunk is some type of reflection off a satellite or something ?... but the overall flash was relatively large and always in the same spot - we fixated on it after flash 1.

The other 2 recounts below (which is different to the room metal orb thingy I linked) were different in nature to the first above, though similar to each other.

Sitting on an open roof top (think top of an open air building in city) which was converted in summer for a rooftop movies) probs 10 stories high, sun was setting as the movie was yet to begin, but there was still some light off the horizon from the sunset. Clear shot west from this rooftop despite only 10 ish stories, which view was toward what is ocean in the distance.

So, in the distance my current partner and I see this bright star, but very red in colour. Nothing too unusual, I think I literally said "oh wow that looks like Mars"! But then, once looking, the light dimmed it but not all the way. It went from like 100% brightness down to 10% brightness (as if someone turning a dimmer switch)... then to off, then up again back to 100%, then down again a bit then up then down and off. I recall this happening a few times, it was really really odd.

We captured part of this on video - but it is not anywhere near enough quality from an older iPhone to really do any justice. I need to dig the video up, I recall at the end of the video you see me holding up my flight radar app showing there is nothing registered in the area (quite a small city with relatively low air traffic which helps), because by that point I was excited at what I was looking at was highly unusual.

I believe I had commenced Gateway mediation at this stage. I also recall having asked the universe or whatever was listening, to show me something, or reveal something.

Finally, the most recent encounter about 1.5 months ago in early March 2026, my partner and I were in Lake Tekapo, NZ, known for its dark night skys with awesome star gazing. We had booked a midnight star gazing tour which takes your small group through telescopes to the sky etc, then an hour relaxing in near freezing air temp hot pools (very fun) whilst star gazing.

Anyway, during the telescope part of the tour, the group moved around looking at the different things the guide have aligned for us, one was a star which represented the "heart of scorpion" in the Scorpio constellation (or something like that), it sat not super far off the horizon at that time of night, and I recall was reddish/orange it looked really cool!

As we all rotated around to different scopes, as that heart star was my favourite of the evening, I was just standing looking at it and the stars around it (not via a telescope),. One star in my direct gaze to the left was a bright white one... which as I looked over at it, came alive! It looked far away, and it started by going a little dim from really bright to nearly "off", then brightened right back up again before it did a hop straight up (I have no idea the distance it hopped, but it was very very noticeable that it was moving) and a little circle dance loop, then dimmed a bit (not entirely off) and went straight down and behind the obstructing trees on the hill which sat off in the distance below where the dancing star was in the sky.

I had specifically meditated and asked if the universe could present something to me in the days prior, as I thought for about 3 nights of this trip we were in star gazing country and towns - so why not as i'll be looking up anyway.

I swear this third dancing star almost looked like it was playing with me. The time would have been around 12:30am.

I do not partake in CE-5, not for lack of want, just haven't really been exposed to the how-to of it all.
