This thread will be devoted to things that are really unusual and unexplained. I find the topics of UFOs/UAPs, ghosts, Big Foot, Loch Ness Monster, and other unusual phenomena to be fascinating.
As always please do not post anything related to politics.

Shocking UFO sightings across the US | Backscroll

It's one thing to watch a UFO video on YouTube, it's quite another to actually see one with your own two eyes, and I'm not guessing either.

And no, I really don't care what people think, as I know what I saw, and was not normal. It was not a plane, helicopter, drone, or any type of natural phenomena, no way in hell was it any of those things, not a chance.

And no, I'm not going to engage in some utterly pointless "debate" about it either - any more than I'd expect it to be on the 6 o'clock news.

Amazing!
I'm really interested in UFOs although I have not seen one in person. A good friend of mine saw one hovering over a mountain. I hope one day to see a UFO.

My mother and I saw one once. It was a luminous hovering sphere, like a helium balloon with a lamp inside it. Attached to it was a small white light that blinked rhythmically on what looked like a one-second gap. I said at once, "That has to be one of ours. Aliens wouldn't use a one second timer." Since it didn't move, I assume it must have been a tethered blimp of some kind.

The funny thing is that I never read or heard anything more about it. But I did read a news item in the New Scientist that someone had designed a luminous blimp which could be used to illuminate late evening events at sports grounds, and the thing was vaguely in the direction of Wembley Stadium. Maybe it was a test run for something like that. If so, nothing came of it.

If I'm being honest, it wasn't just amazing, it was confusing, stunning, bewildering, shocking, and pretty much any other emotion you can think of, all combined into the one emotion - I defy anyone to name any drug that would even come close to that.

Although, it actually wasn't at the time it "become too real", it was when I was over someone else's place and they loaded up one of those UFO compilation videos, where it was like "that's what I saw!", almost, if not, right down to the pixel - that's when it became too real.

In any case, unless you've seen something like that with your own eyes, you'll never understand what its like to see something that you've always been lead to believe is flat out impossible, but yet, you're seeing it with your own two eyes (I'm speaking in general there, not just directed at you hitest).

If you could picture my mind at the time, it would have looked like the old DOS prompt waiting for you to type in a command - I still to this day have no idea how to process what I saw that night.

I also find these topics to be fascinating, but I have not experienced anything like that, myself, at least passively.
I have a little shot glass behind a low shelf in my house I refill every now and then for 'the gnomes', for example, but that's coming from myself.

My grandma, and the mother of a friend both had separate 'ball lightning' sightings in their home respectively, where, during a thunderstorm, an energized orb entered their living room from one side, through the air and then out the other, crackling loudly as it went through the stonework.

A neighbor saw her dead husband floating around her living room (she was a heavy alcoholic though...so that might explain it).

Hm, does a childhood fear of looking into any electrical outlet because a devil like creature will jump into your mind from the "eye contact" count? Lol.
I don't know what instilled that in me, but for a few years I would not look directly into an outlet. Lol. Ahh.

I can imagine that it would be visceral and life-changing. I always have my iPhone on my person in the event I see something odd in the sky.

I'll never forget it for as long as I live, particularly the complete absence of any sound. I can still remember it like it was yesterday for the most part - particularly it flying away in complete silence.

I honestly thought the only place I would ever see one would have been on YouTube - not with my own two eyes. And nobody has been able to explain any of it, to any extent - not that that's surprising at all.

I don't know if you've seen it or not, but if not, you might want to look up the "Turkish UFO" video on YouTube. I would post a link to it, but it's hard on a smartphone.
