re: Have you ever seen something you couldn’t explain?

I liked the way Carl Sagan explained it. He said it would be like as if we are the characters on a playing card. Two dimensional being. Lives on a flat plane. What happens when you place an apple on top of a playing card? The Jack of Hearts cannot possibly perceive the overall appearance of the Apple. Because he exists in two dimensions and not the three dimensions of said apple. All he would see are the contact points where the Apple touches the card. He wouldn't be able to make sense of it. It would just be like four shadowy blobs.

Same thing for us I think. Except when you come into contact with a higher dimensional being (call it an angel or whatever) it can take on whatever appearance it wants. Most likely based on something that is stored in the mind of whoever is seeing the angel. May appear as a sweet old lady, Bigfoot, or a gray alien.

I was riding my bike as a kid, probably 98 or 99, I saw what appeared to be a commercial cargo plane (think FedEx plane, but no logos or markings) stop midair, and slowly begins to descend straight down. It moved much smoother than a helicopter, and did not have any rotors like the plane/helicopter hybrids they have now. It was initially flying very low, almost like you would see a small single engine, two-seater private plane. It appeared to be landing about a mile away in the soccer field of a local Christian school, that easy to tell because there was a radio tower right behind the field that was visible from my neighborhood. I asked everybody I knew who lived in the area but somehow I'm the only one that saw it.



I've also seen the Easter bunny on three separate occasions, and one of Santa's elves once but I'm not sure this is the thread for those stories.

I’ve been able to explain everything that I’ve seen to date.

In February 2017, I was awakened in the middle of the night by our dog's bark. She was sitting up on the bed staring at a red globe that was hovering by the wall on my wife's side of the bed. The dog would bark at it and look at me. The globe stayed there several seconds and then drifted out the door and disappeared. I told my wife about in the morning and we did a little research on what a red glow might mean. The best explanation was it might have been the Angel Uriel, who is the Angel of wisdom who helps us to make wise decisions.

A couple of days later, I was standing outside on a cold day and the wind was making my bald head cold and I thought of a high school friend I hadn't talked to in 25 years. He had lost his hair at a young age and remembered him saying how rain drops sure feel cold on his head.

That afternoon, out of the blue, I get a call from him. He still lives in my hometown in Ohio and he was organizing a reunion of our state championship baseball team and to know if I could attend. I didn't realize it at the time, but that was the big decision I needed make. I decided I wanted to go and convinced my wife to join me.

The event was scheduled for April 14th and we made our flight plan to fly into a small airport in WV near my hometown. We had a connection for the last leg of the flights in Charlotte NC. When we landed in Charlotte, we had to hustle from to our departing gate and it was a long way. I noticed as we were walking, I was having trouble keeping up with my wife, who is a foot shorter than me. We made it to the gate and they had just started boarding. I got in line and hollered at the wife. And, the next thing I remember is opening my eyes and realizing I was on an ambulance flying down the street. I thought, "I must have had a heart attack or something bad happened at the airport."

The only reason I know the details is that my wife witnessed the whole thing. I had a cardiac arrest, the "Widow Maker". I found out later that less than 10% of the people that have a cardiac arrest survive. That is because you almost always need the paddles to start the heart. There also happen to be a doctor and nurse in line behind me. They started CPR immediately. I was told by the doctors that airports and hospitals are about the only places people survive a cardiac arrest.

That whole series of events seem to be connected and it still fricks me up.

Typical science person. Always ignoring photographic evidence

Growing up..we lived behind a motel. I saw many things go on at that dump but one time in particular a girl OD in the pool and a helicopter was called. The copter landed in the semi's parking area. We are standing out in our front yard / edge of motel property watching This commotion. The land slopes towards the semi parking area and the parking spots in front of the rooms have a slight incline. As we are watching this (mom dad brother) we notice to the right that a vw bug is slowly backing out of its parking spot...then turns to head down hill slowly. It passes right in front of us. To our left the parking lot "road" splits. There is a fireman standing there to stop traffic because of the helicopter. The vw veers to the right to follow the split (if it stayed straight...it would have crwashed in to a tree) the fireman calls the vw to stop, but it didn't. It kept rolling faster and turning and eventually rolled into the tail rotor of the copter. No one was ever in that car at least from the time it came out of its parking spot...turned to angle down hill...then make another turn to avoid a tree and then straighten out to hit the copter. 4 of us saw the same thing

I had seen a giant black triangle flying silently over the town of Berryville, AR in 1996.

So, in the summer of '93, me and some of buddies were out late one Saturday night. We were in an old abondoned parking lot right in the middle of Mountain Home. We were standing around bullshitting with a city cop we were friends with when somebody said, "what the hell is that?" We all looked up to see what he was talking about and directly above us was the outline of a huge triangle. It was flying low enough we could all make out the shape. There was absolutely no noise coming from this thing. We stood there watching as it flew away towards Norfork Lake. We all jumped in our trucks and followed until we lost it around the lake. We never figured out what it was and we never saw it again.

It wasn't really moving that fast. It was heading SW and then turned NW. We lost it because it flew over fields, hills, and valleys while we were stuck following from the road.

The cop was just as floored as we were. I just saw BoarEds last post about this and now I'm really curious. I don't believe it was a UFO in the ET sense.
