1998-10-26 - Marina del Rey, CA

I hung up the phone with a friend and went to bed. I had pulled the covers around my shoulders and my eyes were closed. With closed eyes I noticed a bright light enter my room. I opened my eyes and the room was light (not with an exceptionally bright light, just like a lite room). The light dissapated and then through partially cosed vertical blinds, a light entered my room and circled the room. Through the verticle blinds a shadow appeared in the light in the room. The shadow had an elongated head (not long as in high, but as in a sort of football shape) a long thin neck and a thick body. I shadow didn't move with the light, but through it. So in otherwords the light behind it was not moving, the shadow was. I thought of more rational possibilities than an extra terrestrial or alien or other life form, whatever your preference in title, but because of the angle of the blinds, I couldn't justify the way the light moved around the room instead of on one wall. Perhaps this is something to report, or perhaps I need a lesson in light movement? I'm not ruling either possibility out. when I got the nerve up to look outside, the light had vanished and car alarms were going off. I got back into bed and heard a low level ???hum or ??? - an easier sound to make then to describe - type sound.
