One time I think I saw one physically outside of my window, and it really scared the shit out of me, but it is that same UFO that may have brought me to the vision I had years later that inspired this art piece. It looked like a spinning purple glowing crown, its just the way it was spinning freaked me out and I ran out of the room.

Years later, a day or two before the vision, I had a much shorter lived vision, they usually start with circles or triangles or squares in 3D pointillism morphing into geometries, this time however it formed a crown and started spinning wildly, it reminded me of that UFO so I got freaked out and opened my eyes. After about a day, I told myself, what are you so afraid of? Its just a vision, it cant reach out and grab you, "fear not" I told myself (lol), and I mentally prepared myself to face it head on the next day, to let the animation run, and that's when I encountered the Ophanim.
