A couple of days after Christmas, my friend and I were sitting at the table sipping away at our coffee when out of the corner of my eye, coming from the kitchen, was this flash of light. I kept staring at it because I didn't know what the heck it was! I've never seen a moving light fly very slowly from my stove and towards the dining room. My thoughts immediately turned to my daughter's stories of a moving light in her room. She called it "Tinkerbell." I wondered if that was what she saw?

I continued to watch it as I just really didn't know what the heck that was. I first noticed it coming from around my stove and then it flew into the room where we were sitting (the dining area can look straight into the kitchen).

This light continued to move flying ever so slowly like a lightning bug. We sure don't have them here in the winter, I thought. It seemed to bop up and down in a wavy littlte flight pattern and was heading towards the window in the room. Quite unexpectedly, we heard a big crash!! And when my friend turned around, he saw sparks of lights setting off from a cabinet door lock and the cabinet then opened up by itself! The lights continued to flash almost like a mini display of fireworks for the 4th of July! It must have lasted about 30 seconds and then everything stopped. The dancing Tinkerbell light was gone, there was no more flashes of sparkling lights, and my closed cabinet was now opened up and unlocked.

The only thing I could think of was that moving light I saw that had somehow appeared missed the window and instead ran right into the lock on the cabinet. Weird, because I don't know of any lights that can unlock cabinets. I certainly can't explain this one and am still trying to figure that out.
