Force field?

In P.E today I was sitting on the sidelines like usual when a soccer ball came flying right at me. I threw my right hand(my writing hand) out in front of me to protect myself from the ball when it suddenly jerked to the right and away from me. The ball didnt collide with anything and no one kicked it away, it just went in the opposite direction once I threw my hand out in front of me. Did I stop the ball from hitting me?
Blessed be

I can answer this from 2 very different standpoints:
1-a magickal standpoint. It is very possible that you literally pushed the ball away with the force you exerted on it.
2-from a scientific standpoint. It is perfectly possible that the ball had a back spin like a rolled hula hoop with back spin, and there was enough friction in the air to allow it to change directions.
You should see if anyone caught it on tape:p

I agree with what Captian Tycho said, if you know about astral projection and astral planes, you astral body tends to "come out" during traumatic episodes(soccer ball coming at you not necessarily traumatic, but your inner self may think so) and block whats coming at you, or if it can't do that shield you the best it can
