Mom encountered a blue glowing figure crouched in her dorm room in 1990 looking for similar experiences

Posting this on behalf of my mom, who's told me this story for years and still remembers every detail vividly, even after 30+ years.

It happened while she was in university, around 1990. She was sleeping on the floor of her dorm room when she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. Crouched in the corner of the room was a figure, she only caught a partial view: the back, a bit of the shoulders, and a small portion of the neck, with the head tilted slightly downward so she never really saw the face. The skin looked completely smooth, and had a blue tone that seemed to glow faintly in the dark.

Weirdly, she said she didn't feel any fear. If anything, she felt curious, and got this calm, almost friendly vibe from it. Since she was already lying on the floor and close by, she instinctively stretched her foot out toward it.

The second she did, the figure pointed toward another part of the room. She turned to look where it was pointing, and when she looked back, it was just gone. No sound, no movement, nothing.

She knows some people will chalk this up to a dream or sleep paralysis, but she insists it felt completely real and different from anything like that. It's stuck with her all these decades later.

Has anyone here had a similar encounter. A figure with smooth, blue, glowing figure like this? Curious what this could have been.

iMac 19,1 with BCM4364 802.11ac wireless network adapter

Recently found myself in possession of a iMac 19,1. I have gotten the wifi card working on fedora, but would like to use something atomic to make my life a little easier.

The ujust configure-broadcom-wl does nothing, as does sudo modprobe brcmfmac.

This repo is what worked on a non-immutable system. If this isn't an easy fix I'll just go back to that but I figured I'd ask here.
