I am an elementary school teacher. My experience happened in the classroom where I had taught for the last sixteen years. It occured the last week of April, 2012. It was a sunny, warm spring day between 1:00 and 1:30 in the afternoon. I was testing a student from the classroom next door. We were the only two people in my classroom at the time and we were both sitting at the same table. At one point the student leaned forward. When he did so, I could suddenly see that behind him and slightly to his left, was a circle of brown light. It was between the size of a golf ball and a tennis ball.

It reminded me of a heart beat, but was beating or fluttering very quickly. This circle of light was approximately 7 feet away and about three and half feet above the ground. It very slowly began to move forward towards us, but in a straight projectory parallel to us. At one point I could have reached out and "touched" it. My mind was racing trying to make sense of what I was seeing. The only thing I could come up with was a spirit/ghost orb.

Also, I was seeing it in my classroom. Who would be visiting my classroom? As soon as I had that thought, I remembered the teacher who, several years ago, had suddenly passed away one evening after coming home from work. She and I had shared the classroom, where this event was unfolding, for one school year. Even though I thought this might be her, I
