Re: An Optical Illusion

It looks like a LEGO brick to me... a green one.  tongue
But it isn't, at least I don't think so.
I also don't remember when I took that picture.  tongue

Re: An Optical Illusion

It's moving very slowly. Looks like a green Lego brick for 5 seconds and then it looks like a green UFO above a large field...
