This is a new anomalous phenomenon that seems to defy explanation. Many have tried to debunk it and have failed. What gives?
"Like the title explains. It's a small bright red dot light, like a laser pointer. We have seen this in different locations around the house, on the wall or furniture. It doesn't move, but if you try to track it down, it disappears.
I immediately go to debunking, there is probably an explanation. It is not a reflection from red lights on electronics. It is not some kid with a laser pointer shining through our windows. I am out of explanations."---Reddit
"I've been experiencing this for almost as long as I can remember. Doesn't seem to matter which house I've lived in as it's happened in all of them. Mine are always green or blue, but like you said, it looks like a laser pointer that doesn't move at all and disappears whenever I try to investigate. I've always just thought it was my brain or eyes playing tricks on me. The illuminating bright white one I've experienced truly freaked me out a bit, though."---Reddit
"Found this while looking on the web trying to figure out what this phenomenon could be? Just had the exact experience in my bathroom when getting out of the shower. I keep the room pretty dark and to the left of me about a foot away this bright red blinking light (like the point of a laser) blinked 3 times then vanished!! I’ve seen a blue one before bout 6 months ago but that one had a tail! The closest thing I can come up with is it’s some kind of orb paranormal thing? But there’s definitely something to this red dot if this many of us are seeing it!!" ??---Reddit
I've never seen this in my own apt, but once when I was at a tire store waiting for my car to get fixed I saw one on the wall. I was just mildly befuddled as it didn't seem to be coming from any devices in that store.
