Full Report Text:
I was in my yard and a star proceeded to move approximately 7 inches in the sky, southwest to northeast, revealing a triangular shape expanding and shifting into position above my location, seeming to nestle into the constellations appropriate to its configuration. It seems the second dimension, at a distance, illusory in nature, formed a geometric transparency. Shortly after, a bustle in the woods convinced me to retire to the indoors.
