hey heres what happend i was walking home around 4am and i was fiddiling with my mp3 player then i look up and i see this yellow/golden myst in the sky it kind of fell like a blanket and turned into a large bird shape object then kinda shot off and dissapeard very quickly after that i saw this bright flash out the side of my eye.....i jumped out of my skin i didn't know what to make of it i asked some people what it could have been they have said it sounded something like the the phoenix but i find it very hard to beleive but i definetly saw something that resembled a bird......any opinions on what it could have been ?

thanks.

Sounds like fog and a down-draft. Fog and street lamps can make for some creepy images. Did you hear anything?

I think this is what you are talking about:

lol mr ed haha......there was no sound no it was not near a street lamp tho it was way up in the sky i also saw it from a distance it wasn't directly on top of me

yellow moth man, UFO changing shape? a cloud

me thinks it was superman!

It's the Matrix falling apart!

I was in my car at a red light, and looked up and for a split second 'something' flashed by in the sky....it wasn't lightening....it was something that streaked across the sky. If you weren't looking up....you would not have noticed it. It was a clear sunny day. There wasn't a sound made. Very weird feeling came over me.
Won't be long before we find out what the hell has been going on blindly around.

Northern lights maybe.I used to see them all the time they move very fast.

ah could have been do they appear everywhere tho ? like all over the world

What you saw has a simple rational explaination...... IT WAS A PHOENIX lol. but seriously I agree with your friends I've seen many a phoenix/ phoenix witness we've all seen the same damn thing.
