Damn, that sounds trippy. Like you felt threatened on an instinctual level. I had a similar experience star gazing, but not in a threatening way. I saw a star moving around and dancing in the sky for me. Unreal stuff, I couldn’t not see it, even if I looked away, closed my eyes, squinted, anything. It was clear as day a dancing star, twirling and bouncing. My buddy had a telescope, so I used it to take a closer look and figured out what was going on. Turns out I was looking at a cluster of stars twinkling in a sequence that gave the impression of something akin to animation. I was also on shrooms, so I was primed for an emerging pattern. Made for an awesome experience.
