I don't know if it's the dogs howling, the bats flying around, or the chanting in ancient languages, but our street can be a little bit eerie at night. Keep this in mind when reading the following story...
I was walking home the other night at about 11pm, and I looked up into the sky. I saw a hazy, blue light moving around in the sky. It was moving erratically, and then it disappeared. About two seconds later it reappeared. I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn't seeing things. But it was still there, and it was still appearing and reappearing and moving very strangely around in the sky. By the way it was moving around and randomly disappearing, I knew it couldn't be a plane. So what was it??
All kinds of theories were floating around in my head as to what this could be. I was starting to get a little concerned. I went to my friend, and very seriously asked about the nature of this strange blue light. The Balinese are always talking about spirits, black magic, and ghosts, so he could have come up with quite a story. Fortunately, he decided to immediately tell me the truth instead of having fun with his naive foreign friend.
"It's a kite. It has lights on it and the batteries are almost dead."
