I actually think it's a build up to the orange flare. It starts with what looks like a bug so I look at it but nothing is there. A moment later I think I see it again but my brain isn't telling me that it's not actually there so I look again and again and again.

The flare in my face then usually happens sometime after that. It's so close I want to ask other people if they seen it. It's the weirdest thing
