Need help explaining what my wife saw...

This was several days ago, middle of the night, around 3AM (of course, lol) but she says she and my dog both saw something that was very disturbing to both of them and around that time a really aggressive hot spot did start to form on my dogs hind section, possibly from heightened anxiety (incessant scratching, biting). The hot spot has gotten so bad in about 4 days that it looks almost like mange.

She says she walked out onto the front porch to smoke a cigarette while the dog walked out to sniff and pee, and after a minute or two it was like they both realized something was in front of them. Not like it appeared there or wasn't there before and then came to that spot but like it was there when they walked out and just did not immediately observe it for a minute or two.

Her description is that it looked like a paper towel on the ground but that as soon as they both noticed it (simultaneously), it formed a peak at the top and floated straight up into the air. Almost like an actual paper towel on a string that was being lifted straight up. Not fast or slow really, her demonstration to me looks like about the speed that you would swing a fly swatter maybe? But she says she watched it go straight up into the air until she couldn't see it anymore. No sound, no wings (for about 10 minutes I just assumed she was describing a barn owl until I realized she was saying she really could not explain no matter how hard she tried).

She said she is still very disturbed by it and like i said the dog has a really bad bald spot with sores forming on his back that I assume is from chewing his own skin due to anxiety but it did definitely begin to form the day after this happened and within about 4 days has progessed to a spot about 10" by 3".

I've tried to come up with a logical explanation and I can't, neither can she, and I have my own story that I have never been able to explain logically so I know how she feels.

If anyone has any suggestions I would really love to hear what it could possibly be. It does sound very unnerving to me and if there's a logical explanation we would both like to find it.
