Many moons ago, around the same time of the year, late at night, I went out onto the balcony for a fa.. reasons. There was a huge tree just a bit higher then the roof right in front of it. It's limbs reaching towards said balcony, only like 10feet away. (by now it's grown so much it's almost touching the railing). It was a clear, cold, moonlit night. I was just staring into nothing when...
A FREAKIN HUGE WHITE OWL appeared out of nowhere, with wings spread as wide as I'm high, banked into a knifes edge turn passing from top left to low right, exactly between the railing and the tree!
Damn that was a once in a couple of lifetimes type of sheeet, a real life anime-moment. It was amazing and a super rare sighting where I live.
It was late enough that there was no background noise from the city, no animals, no wind, nothing, just cold and total silence. I should describe the owl with the words "it Whooshed down" but it didn't. It made no sound, no wind. That's the thing that's stuck with me to this day, that it was absolutely 100% silent. Like a modern sub is the hole in the water, it was the dead silent but rather fast moving hole in the air. So a B2, just white lol.
