From Suzanna <suzanneleff@hotmail.com> of the magical Finca Amrta:

I had an amazing experience last Sunday night, July 17th, 2016. I went outside between 8:30 and 9:00 pm and what I saw was incredible. For this reason I am writing this letter to all of you who read ChayoteVine. I looked up and I saw the moon which was getting full and was appearing and disappearing from from behind the clouds. What I saw next is what had me in absolute awe. There were two round shapes, white but not solid white, that were twice the size of the moon or even more and they were circling around the moon in fast motion. It went on for a very long time and even when the moon was hidden by the clouds the white circular shapes were circling around the lit up part of the sky where the moon was hidden. I was in total awe and could hardly believe my eyes. I was hoping that by reading this on ChayoteVine . . .at least one other person who reads this might have witnessed this same phenomena as I did. I looked in several newspapers the next morning and there was nothing. I even posted it on Facebook . . . with absolutely no response. I am very grateful to my dear cousin for offering this space to me to put out this request. May the Blessings of the Universe Shine on Everyone!
