Concerning the filter, it filters more or less random words. See the thread in "News".

I saw what looked like a shooting star, it went across the sky, stopped, and then moved of in the opposite direction. I dunno if it was an alien, but I was a believer long before I saw that, so I'll just go ahead and say it was.

Have you ever played the UFO game when you're travelling in the car? Unidentifiable FLATTENED objects. Quite fun.

More on the sibject, I have occasionally seen things and wondered. There was something I saw ages ago that made me think - 'ALIEN!!!' and it stopped me from sleeping just incase it tried to steal me .

[S916Dave]

I do that all the time with cats

[Jenn]

Haven't seen any UFO's.
I HAVE told my daughter that if she takes a glass of water to bed, aliens will come into her room to get a drink.
This keeps the water out of her room.
Mean I know.

I had a really freaky experience one night. I'm not saying I believe it was aliens, but it's up there with the UFO phenomena.

A friend of mine and I were driving around one night just killing time. We left from a place in a town called Greer, heading toward his uncle's house. Just before we passed the interstate, there was a strange globe of light darting around the sky off to our left. I pointed it out just as it was fading out, and then I got on the interstate onramp. As I rounded the last curve, a very very brilliant flash of light lit up everything, the entire night sky (approx 1:30 am) turned white and you could see everything around in stark contrast. In a matter of milliseconds it was over, everything dark again. I was so freaked out I pulled over at the next exit and we went into a grocery store for a few minutes to catch our breaths and heart rates (there is a sit down reading area in the store.) We chilled out for about a half an hour and then went to his uncles house. When we arrived there, it was 4:30 am. That's 3 hours and 10 minutes from our original departure.

The next day we drove the distance, stopped at the same supermarket to wait for 30 minutes, and finished the trip to his uncles house. 45 minute- 1 hour drive trip total, including the stop.



A week later, another friend and I were driving along the same route, and saw yet another globe in the sky. No flash of light this time, though.

Something to note: The morning after the first encounter, a guy on the radio station we were listening to was asking if anyone else saw the weird lights in the sky the night before. Everyone in the studio made fun of him.

Yeah, that's the infamous "lost time" phenomenon. I dunno if it has anything to do with UFOs, but it certainly is connected to cars. Almost every reported experience of this kind has taken place when driving.

Perhaps 'lost time' has to do with (A) driving slower than you think you are, because you are paying attention to whatever weird thing happened, or (B) making a stop to collect yourself and waiting longer than you think you did, because of stress.

[S916Dave]

Ill take B for 100 please.

[ichabod00x]

I didn't know about the lost time happening mostly during driving.

I'd vote for option B as well, since the event happened so quickly I couldn't have slowed down to pay attention.

I seen things in the sky that I have no idea what it was. Don't think it was aliens though.

[Sander]

I saw a UFO. It flew over my car, in the same direction, and only 50feet or so above ground. Extremely fast.

Later I found out it had been a runaway drone from the nearby AFB, so I had to reclassify it from UFO to IFO.
Of course, I would have preferred it to have stayed UFO; that would have made the world more exciting, kinda.
I want to believe. But I can't...
