Strange vanilla star-like light descends over yard.
I was out on the deck star gazing around 9:20 PM. Suddenly, out of nowhere a beautiful bright vanilla star about the same size and color Mars is at the moment appeared very close overhead in the north sky and started to smoothly descend towards me. It was a steady light, moving deliberately and did not seem to be a falling star or comet. There was no noise. The speed at which it decended is hard to describe as it was as if it was a controlled speed, not really fast or slow but very smooth and deliberate. It came in so close to the yard it was level with the high treetops. Although at first I was mesmerized by it's beauty, the closer it got to me, I became terrified, ran to the glassed in deck door, tore it open and backed in, never taking my eyes off it. I know this sounds crazy but it was as if the light could sense my fear and retreated backwards until it faded from view. It looked like a bright star with a hard, almost diamond-like brilliant center surrounded by a softer glow of the same color. Also, at the risk of sounding absolutely bonkers, the reason why I got so frightened was, I felt like it would have come right down to me if I hadn't gotten out of the way. I went out later several times to see if it was still in the area, but I didn't see it again. I live in the country near Daniel Boone State Park.
