A UFO Flashed a light on my 20th floor Apartment

Sorry for click baitey title, but that is indeed what happened to me last night.

I have a view of the mountains which is facing the east roughly 20 miles from me. Always see planes fly by as I am always sitting out there relaxing or smoking (or looking for UFOs!).

Last night I’m watching TV at around 10 pm (still a bit of day light out due to me being in the northern hemisphere) when we noticed a STRONG light on my patio and by strong I mean like a spot light aimed at my windows but very fluorescent/reddish hue. My GF freaks out and I immediately open the sliding door while also thinking strongly in my head that it’s alien… and I say that because that light was just so unusual. I look for cops or ambulance below, look for any strong lighting in the area, nothing. Then I nervously look to where I knew it came from, the sky. I look up and to the sides and nothing. Then I look straight ahead and boom… UFO. I panic only because it was my initial feeling that it came from a UFO so to actually confirm it with my eyes made me freak out like I haven’t been in years.

I live on the 20th floor, as I mentioned, I am always looking out in the sky for anomalies. I’ve been into UFOs since I was a kid. In the early nineties, I remember seeing a UFO with my family when doing to road trip at the crack of dawn. My dad parked on the side of the road and we all got out to look at it. It was a huge light in the sky, to which we all agreed it looked like a moon but brighter. It then disappeared into nothing as though it was a Millennium Falcon going into light speed where the light went from big to small quickly as though it left at an extraordinary speed. All that to say, I look at the sky a lot. And for whatever reason, this sighting brought all those feelings back. The strong feeling as though I was being watched. And “feeling” is probably the wrong word to choose because it I can’t say sensed. But I can almost say I sensed it.

I’m adding the video I took but apologies for it being quick. I will confess that I was so freaked out, I decided to go to the underground parking of my building as I felt like I didn’t want to interact so much with it as it is my house and don’t want to be abducted lol. I came back up after about 5 mins and it was gone.

I am now looking for cameras to buy (not a big budget atm) but think I will put a camera out there to record the night skies. Currently looking a wifi TP Link Camera although I need to buy a NAS and so forth to set up. Not looking to get amazing video evidence but more to see if they are actively in the area and so forth. Any recommendations would be great.

Anyways, still a look shaken up but hope you enjoy the anecdote and little evidence I have. Hopefully I’ll have another update! (Actually no I don’t, I’m scared lol).

Edit : Finally to post but only on imgur (you suck reddit). Video taken on iphone 15 max pro but quality diminishes via imgur. Oh well…

2nd edit: I think this time it should work…
