The following written confession was submitted via email:

I’m just curious if others have experienced the same thing. Basically, I woke up to my husband coming to bed approximately two hours after I did. I was drowsy at first, but I pointed to a translucent orb floating at the foot of the bed. It was about the size of a soccer ball. I pointed to is, and asked, “What’s that? Why did you bring it in here?”

Then I realized what was happening, and my husband said, “Do you see it too?

I confirmed I was seeing the same thing. I felt like I wanted to touch it, like it was a puppy or a little kid. I slowly reached for it, and it backed away, becoming vapor.

I was about six months pregnant at the time, and it kind of felt like it was our daughter checking us out first.
