bumpan for interest & seemed like a fitting thread for this
Not really sure if this is specifically the kind of a sighting that counts as 'paranormal', but it was definitely odd, and maybe someones had a similar experience. It was a pretty long while back, either early on into or shortly before 2010, maybe around 2008-2009, so some details are pretty hazy. Anyways, I vaguely remember walking out of the school cafeteria (it was a separate building on our school campus) and was walking down a path, either going to the school concession or the playground, on what I'm fairly sure was a clear day with little wind.
I wasn't all that far down the path when I saw something pretty odd; in the sky, there was this weird kinda-ball-thing. It had some really weird geometry to it, it wasn't spherical, but imagine something more like a
crumpled up piece of paper with rougher/sharper edges, all black with a metallic glossy look to it. The body, which was totally still (wasnt flapping around or deforming like a garbage bag) smoothly rolled forward as it flew/glided(?) in a totally straight line north, never breaking its path. As for size, it may have been a bit larger than a person (maybe the size of a small car?) though I'm pretty bad at estimating that kinda thing.
I know other people that were there saw it too, and while I hardly really remember anyone else's comments, I distinctly remember someone saying something along the lines of "thats what rich people use to spy on us" or something weird like that (which honestly I think was just some other kid who heard about satellites on TV). I think I just passed it off as something like a satellite myself too and never really brought it up after that. I don't remember anyone mentioning it in class, or any teachers, either, and it only really came back to me when I was talking about UFO stuff with a friend a few nights ago.
probably pretty stupid and maybe i really did just see a really stiff flying garbage bag and dream up there being something more, but it was still a surreal experience looking back on it
