SANTA FE, N.M., June 20 (UPI) -- Paranormal observers from around the United States weighed in via the Internet after a courthouse camera in New Mexico captured a mysterious image.
The bright light with diamond-shaped stars spinning clockwise appeared Friday in the security camera of the First Judicial Courthouse in Santa Fe, said a sheriff's deputy who watched it live.
The video drew hundreds of e-mail comments after it was posted to YouTube, The Santa Fe New Mexican reported Wednesday.
One viewer of the video said he saw a baby spider while another said she saw five dead spirits. A third pronounced the apparition a "case of 'ball lightning.'"
"This is not a common phenomenon so I'm not surprised that you haven't heard of it," the man wrote.
State District Judge Stephen Pfeffer said he thought it was a bug.
"Whatever it is, it has to go through security like anyone else," Pfeffer said.
