Your description is eerily similar to the reports that happened 3 times in Brussels in the early 1990’s. Two men at a factory in Basècles, saw a huge grayish trapezoid platform that moved slowly and quietly with 6 lights and resembled an aircraft carrier turned upside down. Irregular structures as well.
There was also multiple sightings of triangle UFO’s in Belgium during this time.
Also reminds me of my dad and his driver story during their army years in the early 90s. Both told me the same story separately years apart. Happened in Arkansas during military training. They said it was football field size, 4 stories above them. They turned the engine off to hear, but it made no noise. Then it stopped above them. At that point, they said they got freaked out and started to drive away when it beamed out horizontally.
You reminded me of when my father had told me about something very similar to what has been mentioned above.
He told me it had happened in the early 80s, before I was born. Mind you, I interrogated the living crap out of him for truth to this and even my mother swore he was not lying.
It goes how one night on his way home from work, a dark gray, sleek looking box (a “floating shoe box”, he called it) with red lights appeared in the distance over his neighborhood road on his way home from work. This was in Illinois, in a town south of Chicago called Momence.
As I recall his telling, the object appeared to be roughly a hundred yards out and hovering around 40-50 feet in the air, just above the street lights and telephone poles. He described it about as wide as the road, and roughly 20-30 ft long or so. He explained how it moved extremely slowly and it was looming straight towards his car as he drove down the road. He told me that as he noticed it getting closer, he started driving slower and slower and eventually stopped completely because of fear of what was happening. As it went over each street light, they began to flicker off until it passed by the light, as though the electricity/energy was being absorbed from the object and switched back on again as it passed. The last thing he told me about this instance was that as the object closed in over his car, it stopped briefly, lit up its lights bright red-spotlight style over him, and the car turned off completely. Drained his brand new battery as well as most electrical components. When he got out of his car to finally look at the object, it lifted into the stars within a second.
Oh yeah I've written a [summary of everything here](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/rIXFV9yh5Q). Most recently I saw an orange orb and an owl up close in the same week and it brought everything back and made me start collecting my family experiences.
All of that sounds like the prelude to and half remembered abductions. You said after you saw the ufo you and your friend had nightmares. What were they about?
Strange, I had the same experience. Definitely was fully awake and not sleep paralysis (had that as a kid and not even remotely similar to this experience). But I would have dismissed it if it wasn’t for my own family member who said they saw something dark, thin, and smokey like at my doorway. This family member was struck with an unimaginable fear whereas my response was completely opposite. I remember being woken up, seeing it directly across by the doorway, and I prayed and went back to sleep. I would have actually never done that as I don’t identify as religious or even semi-faithful. A week later, I remembered “it” and thought what the hell, I don’t pray. Why would I go to sleep!?
Just want you to know you aren’t alone. Your comment lines up exactly with the experiences I’ve had including the praying for it to leave even though I didn’t and still don’t have religious beliefs. It is outright the most fearful thing I’ve ever encountered, and I’ve had several instances of it happening. The only time I ever prayed about it was about 10 yrs ago. The shadow figure crawled on top of me and yelled as loud as it possibly could…it was the only time I’ve ever heard it screech/yell or anything, but it was absolutely the most frightening experience of my life.
I've only had sleep paralysis 3 times, the last time was the most entertaining. I woke up and was lying in bed eyes half open around 11 in the morning and heard my sisters mother in law playing with my nephew in the next room. I heard somebody start clearly talking to me from my bedroom floor - It was a distinct voice (not like the ones you'd come up with in dreams) and thought my cousins friend had come over and crashed on the floor. After a brief chitter chatter still trying to go back to sleep and too tired to take a peek on the floor, I started noticing how bizarre the whole situation is. Who was that on the floor and how did he get in? The room got quiet and heard some shuffling sounds from the corner of the room (I tried looking, but noticed I could only really move my eyes) and heard a sinister giggle. I got quite scared and only thing I could do was start praying (also like others, not really religious). As soon as the prayer started, I heard that distinct sound get louder and more distorted, copying my prayer word for word and at the same time - That sent chills down my spine and froze in fear. I hear heavy thomping foot steps (like hooves) charge towards me from the corner of my room and heard the most evil loud laugh I've heard, it was almost comical. I finally woke up after 3 tries. Hope to experience one again lol Makes me wonder how many people confuse sleep paralysis with the abduction experience, or could there be something more to this?
*"...after a brief chitter chatter..."*
Do you mean between you and the intruder? As in, you two were having a conversation with input from *both* of you? Can you recall any details of this exchange? Or, if it was one-sided, can you remember what it said? Even just the gist of the conversation would be of great interest, if that's easier to dredge up.
I had something similar when i was a kid. Woke up while sleeping in between my parents locked onto a tall and lanky yellowish figure standing inside the door across the room. It had long arms and fingers that was completely smooth with typical gray facial features like the big black eyes. It was tall enough it's head was taller than the door frame. We stared at eachother and i was scared to move, eventually it turned and walked out of the room towards the door thst went into our garage. I thought i'd hear both that door and the garage door and it would be gone but i heard neither and then fell back asleep.
Well yeah there's your explanation on that front. I've been in the same position with odd shadowy things heaps. I had chronic sleep paralysis. You get used to it eventually, and there isn't a threat. I used to just be like oh hey then go back to sleep lol. If anyone would have been abducted it would have been me hahahah. Many many many chances were to be had.
Why is it that any ailment, syndrome, condition, *whatever* that involves some form of taking away one's self-control, always replace it with something horrible? For instance, Tourette Syndrome - might be wrong, but, to my knowledge, no sufferer ever just blurts out random plesantries. No, it's gotta force you to use profanity or insult complete strangers. Or with sleep paralysis, I've never heard of someone being forced to lie there and watch a comedy sketch or listen to a poetry recital. Nope, it's gotta be hoof-stomping screech demons or rude aliens. If anyone is aware of more positive experiences with these issues, please feel free to correct me, because I find the whole thing intriguing.
If you weren't typing that while sitting in a pile of your own terror-triggered feces, then you have my utmost respect. Because, for me, it was a bit iffy just from *reading* your account, nevermind actually experiencing such a thing irl. Oop, gotta run...
In the book American Cosmic, written by Diana Walsh Pasulka, she talks about Gary Nolan (I believe) who's looking for people like you, who have a family history of being able to make contact with the phenomenon. I really encourage you to read atleast the first 100 pages, you'll understand what I mean.
To fully understand how to get into contact with that form of intelligence, and the contact making being on our terms, they are looking for people who's DNA is already attuned to right frequency to be able to do that.
Maybe it's worth exploring! :)
You and your family should check if you guys have the (brain?) trait that Garry Nolan talked about in Ross Coulthart's interview. He thinks it goes down in the family line and helps to perceive UFOs as they are, and not as they project themselves to other people.

Submission Statement: This is my submission statement. I saw a UFO as described above at the date, time, and location described above. For those who feel the need to see the date, time, and location yet another time, just down in the comments, the date, times and location are as follows:
The date was in May or June of 2003
The time was 3:30 PM give or take
The location was between Kersey and Greeley, CO
I've had a few people ask what my prompt was-- here it is:
"Imagine a boxy rectangular spacecraft that is gunmetal grey in color, longer than it is wide, and is emitting a fuscia aura of plasma from its back and bottom. It is descending from the sky over a country road lined with corn plants. A burgundy Mercury sable is driving below in the shadow of the craft. It is daytime and the sun is shining. The craft has bright blinking lights around its seams and is following the car. The bottom and rear of the craft are emitting a fuscia cloud of plasma and light. The car is travelling north and the craft is approaching from above and to the east, passing over the car to the northwest. The craft has an asymmetric top surface and no visible boosters, jets, or propulsion."
I basically did this and redrew several times until it got close enough to what I saw.
You know, it's possible that that's merely how I saw it considering the media I was exposed to at the time. It may have looked different in reality. My friend remembers more of a black cube, so I entertain the possibility that it is subjectively viewed based on altered perception induced by the craft itself
To what degree would you say this matches what you saw? It strikes me how "craft" like in terms of something that looks like an actual machine (but not a classic saucer) this is.
It came out pretty close. It definitely had asymmetric features in different places, the AI did a good job capturing it. [Here is my original drawing of the craft.](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/gMOMZYgoqQ)Yes definitely NOT a classic saucer. In fact I had been looking for years to see if anyone saw something similar, but came up empty until today.
very interesting!
"While it was descending it appeared to be teleporting or waving in an up and down motion while emitting a purple and green mist until it came to a stop"
sorry could you explain the "waving in an up and down motion" part a little more? it was traveling in a straight line and then when descending was going up and down and teleporting? thanks
Sure! After my friend noticed it the white streak ended and it began approaching. While it was moving through the air it appeared to almost be bouncing but was going so fast that it also appeared to be phasing in and out sight. Almost like lag in a game.
so cool! I love reading about UFO sightings and you are the first one I read that describes that kind of movement while descending
one little thing, I asked chatgpt if a source of light traveling at a speed faster than light would create a white streak or trail behind of it, and it said yes hehe
That is neat! It happened so fast, I definitely thought it was a shooting star but it just kept going with zero breakage or sparks. Then it felt like it got spotted checked us out and left the same way it came.
It looks like some transport you would see in starcraft or something.
Every time am convinced that many of the sightings are man made ufo that we just don't know nothing about. At the same time, These interdimentional ones that are more like living beings than tech craft.
Amazing! I saw something similar almost 10 years ago. The shape and description of the metal are very similar. Sunday afternoon, sunny day. I was looking at the city when I saw something quickly materialize in the sky. The object rotated on its own axis and 5 seconds later, it disappeared in the same way it arrived, as if it had misplaced its arrival location. The image caught my attention because it is a very similar structure. It was quite far away, but I also noticed some very fine details in the orange color.
Wow that craft is absolutely nuts! So cool. Thanks for creating and sharing.
Bigger picture, how do tales such as these about failed abductions, gel with the seemingly different set of capabilities and methods of the beings that almost unfailingly succeed at abductions and seem interested in generations - as in families?
Is there any speculation as to what happens, or what some idea of the purpose might be, in these seemingly different type of abduction, like this one, detailed here?
Do you think this was an abduction? I don't have any memory of that. Just a craft flying in really low over us and zipping away. It flew right down to us and just left in a flash.[My longer account of the events is here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/bfQKwUzy0z)
I don't know if I ever would consider it some sort of failed abduction at all
Ok, somehow I got that idea! I don't think I was using my power to see that, just possibly from your images. Looks like the car is being tractor beamed up by the pink mist light lol!
I guess the big question, how do abduction-eers (beings that do them) compare to these other types of contact experiences? Compare and contrast like. lol
I only recently tried to recreate my own UFO experience. Seeing so many making fun of this is disheartening. Any wonder people keep quiet about these things.
I suggest that people be more respectful, because these Encounters can be very disturbing, and someone who chooses to share should be supported, not ridiculed.
Haha awesome comparison. I always thought it looked car-like in its form factor but taking a step back, yeah it's a big grey box 🤷 doesn't look like something that should fly

Oh that's odd! Yeah I've seen UFOs in videos doing that. They don't move in the direction they're pointed... they move kinda sideways.
Were the lights in this picture like the lights you saw?

I just want to know why nearly every abduction or close encounter has a slightly different variation of craft or creature. The sheer amount of variety makes me think it’s something spiritual manifesting itself into our reality. Otherwise it means there are hundreds of different alien species and craft on Earth that we have zero solid proof for somehow.
That's been a frustrating part for me too. I have never seen anything similar to what I saw depicted, until someone sent me a book passage today. My friend and I saw it together, and neither of us saw the stereotypical saucer...something big and blocky. I suspect there may be some sort of consciousness control at work, why they could all appear different.
Imho the most likely explanation for these typical "hollywood-like" almost abduction encounters witnessed by a few people is a natural phenomena that causes mass hallucinations were brain waves of people next to each other synchonize and hallucinate an idea that is already in the brain (hence why it only happened once before UFOs became popular) . They each then see a pretty similar thing, that matches when described to each other, but if they would have a good memory and drawing skills i bet some details would differ. Before UFOs these just mostly causes religious sightings, like seeing angels or speaking burning bushes.
A good candidate for causing such an effect could be cosmic ray anomalies, or a variation of the "Ganzfeld experiment" that causes hallucinations with specific sensory deprivation.
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/289725587_Magnetic_Anomalies_and_the_Paranormal
I'm totally open to the shared hallucination theory. Like I've said I don't know WHAT it was, but we both saw it... Synchronized brainwaves would be almost equally astounding, despite the Rube Goldberg somersaults it takes to get there 🤷
I was thinking more about your comment...think about vehicle brands. We have an astonishing variety for just one global species... Volkswagen beetles to big dump trucks or motorcycles. I think variety makes a lot of sense and is not an indicator of various species, merely different designs. Just a thought I had 🤔
Seeing as you and your family have had multiple encounters - have you considered hypnotic regression or hypnotherapy to try to figure out what is going on and why?
I have but I have some misgivings/concerns about that...I'm just not sold 100% on regression I guess, but I might give it a go with the right practitioner
No attack at all, but you're right it does totally look akin to a tanning bed. It is interesting how many different objects folks have said it looks like. It's almost like a Rorschach test 😂
Ours was a big old ball of orange "fire" above the highway. This was maybe 1989 or so, and I'm rather surprised it's not listed as a mass sighting. I think there were probably 40 people pulled over on the side of the Interstate. It was there, hovered, did a super speedy dash out to a few miles, changed course on a dime, and then took off and disappeared pretty quickly. Whatever it was, we still can't do that. It was maybe 3000 feet over the ground. Lasted all of three minutes or therabouts.
Sure! Well my original account of the whole thing isn[here. I go into a lot more detail.](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/bfQKwUzy0z) But mainly the bottom was flatter and there was more plasma-haze stuff. It seemed to have more lights...but honestly it was all shocking and 21 years ago and even my buddy couldn't be exact in his recall..but you'll see he remembered it too.
That illustration resembles a story from Sweden where a guy encounters this massive ship passing above him, then later is found by police some hours later almost frozen to death.
80m long 10m high black box.

Use chat gpt to translate if you are more interested in the story :)
I saw a similar one around that year in southern coast of Spain. It had a rectangle form with two rounded lights under, i could not see details as it was late evening. We were a group of friends and some refused to look up thinking we were pranking also.
That area is smack dab between two airports North and South. Not saying it was a plane but if it was silent and gliding could it have been a funky blimp or something?
The only "unidentified" thing I've ever seen reminds me of this quite a bit. Approximately two years ago in the western suburbs of Chicago at night, I saw what appeared to be a large black rectangle fly directly overhead, silently gliding and low to the ground. I estimate it was 100-200 yards long, and it had two rows of white lights (not very bright) across the entire length of the object, maybe 30 lights in total. Because of my angle and the darkness, I saw nothing except the rectangular bottom of the object against the night sky.
The only thing that ever made sense to me was maybe some kind of blimp, but really don't know if that's possible.
This is crazy for me personally because I saw something VERY similar to this aircraft a few months ago while I was driving from Brighton, CO to Greeley, CO.
I was on HWY 85 traveling north and some twinkling/flashing lights caught my attention in the sky. This object wasn’t close to my location and I would say it would’ve been maybe 10 miles from me, but visibility was great that day with partly cloudy conditions. But after I saw maybe 15 flashes of lights I saw a large object moving slowly behind cloud coverage. Looked like an upside down skyscraper/aircraft carrier! I was only able to see a portion of the object it for a total of maybe 5 or 6 seconds due to having to focus driving in traffic. After that, it disappeared behind the clouds and didn’t see it again.
There was no real way of using my phone to try and capture what I saw due to a high stop and go area of traffic, everything happening so fast and my brain trying to really understand what I just saw. Anyways, found this very interesting! It was my first ever sighting of any “ufo”.
Check out Chris Bledsoe's book: UFO of GOD: The Extraordinary True Story
He went on a couple Podcasts too. Apperantly he can summon Orbs.

You will find alot similarities with your story.
When I saw this my mind went immediately to the Forward Unto Dawn. Clearly I've been spending too much time fighting the Flood lately.
How close is this image to the actual design of what you saw? Is the general shape right but the greebling a little off or is it spot on?
The general shape is totally right. It didn't have "tail lights" exactly like this, but it did have lights without any sort of fixtures emanating from the edges. The pink fuscia plasma was there 100% and the underside was flatter. I'd rate this at like 80% accuracy but the size, distance, overall shape are all pretty spot on.
One of the stories in George Knapp's skinwalker ranch book involved the owner of the ranch and his nephew seeing what looked like the tail lights of a camper after dark way across the property.
Thinking it was trespassing campers they started walking that way to investigate and alegedly the thing started moving away from them like it was driving across the field. Then just before it was about to hit a fence it gently rose up off the ground and zipped away.
The AI art reminds me of old Tokusatsu mecha/spaceships, especially the Metal Heroes series like Uchuu Keiji series (Gavan, Sharivan, Shaider)...
*Vavilos... Hasshin!*
It has been interesting to see what everyone compares it to for sure. Game console is a top comment...I always thought it looked somewhat car like, like an 80s Lincoln Continental. But that's how it really looked in real life.
How close would you say this depiction is to the actual sighting as far as the craft is concerned? I'm not too familiar with the processes by which AI produces images. I *think* it converts text input to imagery, kinda like the sketch artists that work with law enforcement. Personally, I don't recall ever seeing one of those sketches look anything like the suspect, hence my question.
I read your post about family history with UFOs and its really interesting, thanks for sharing.
you said your son used to have nightmares, did they kept happening or they stopped? its really interesting because most parent ignore what their sons tell them about weird dreams

Wow very cool thanks for sharing!!! Do you have the book name you got that report from? Would love to check into it
Also reminds me of my dad and his driver story during their army years in the early 90s. Both told me the same story separately years apart. Happened in Arkansas during military training. They said it was football field size, 4 stories above them. They turned the engine off to hear, but it made no noise. Then it stopped above them.

Where in Arkansas?

Leslie Kean's Ufo book! There is a chapter about the Belgium sightings.
Yes! Exactly. Coincidentally I was on that chapter when I read OP’s post.
More online info on this? I am from Belgium and this one is new for me
Belgian too here. Yes please share with me as well. I’m even going for a walk in the Marollen tomorrow.
Good reason to cancel the walk then.
lol no, I go there often and never ever would I have linked it with ufos. I’m really surprised this happened here.

Is this the only ufo you've ever seen?
Oh no not by far...just the most significant . And after digging there is a long family history of close encounters
Any that stick out from you or your family?
Oh yeah I've written a [summary of everything here](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/rIXFV9yh5Q). Most recently I saw an orange orb and an owl up close in the same week and it brought everything back and made me start collecting my family experiences.

Jeez
Agreed... but, in this case, jeez might not measure up. There almost certainly should be some profanity in there.
I had something similar when i was a kid. Woke up while sleeping in between my parents locked onto a tall and lanky yellowish figure standing inside the door across the room. It had long arms and fingers that was completely smooth with typical gray facial features like the big black eyes. It was tall enough it's head was taller than the door frame. We stared at eachother and i was scared to move, eventually it turned and walked out of the room towards the door thst went into our garage. I thought i'd hear both that door and the garage door and it would be gone but i heard neither and then fell back asleep.
Sleep paralysis by chance?
I would absolutely wake up paralyzed so yes not ruling that out for sure
Well yeah there's your explanation on that front. I've been in the same position with odd shadowy things heaps. I had chronic sleep paralysis. You get used to it eventually, and there isn't a threat. I used to just be like oh hey then go back to sleep lol. If anyone would have been abducted it would have been me hahahah. Many many many chances were to be had.
I get it constantly but for me I don’t see anyone it’s more like an invisible figure on my back
Why is it that any ailment, syndrome, condition, *whatever* that involves some form of taking away one's self-control, always replace it with something horrible? For instance, Tourette Syndrome - might be wrong, but, to my knowledge, no sufferer ever just blurts out random plesantries. No, it's gotta force you to use profanity or insult complete strangers. Or with sleep paralysis, I've never heard of someone being forced to lie there and watch a comedy sketch or listen to a poetry recital. Nope, it's gotta be hoof-stomping screech demons or rude aliens. If anyone is aware of more positive experiences with these issues, please feel free to correct me, because I find the whole thing intriguing.
If you weren't typing that while sitting in a pile of your own terror-triggered feces, then you have my utmost respect. Because, for me, it was a bit iffy just from *reading* your account, nevermind actually experiencing such a thing irl. Oop, gotta run...
In the book American Cosmic, written by Diana Walsh Pasulka, she talks about Gary Nolan (I believe) who's looking for people like you, who have a family history of being able to make contact with the phenomenon. I really encourage you to read atleast the first 100 pages, you'll understand what I mean. To fully understand how to get into contact with that form of intelligence, and the contact making being on our terms, they are looking for people who's DNA is already attuned to right frequency to be able to do that. Maybe it's worth exploring! :)
Read it cover to cover already 😁
You and your family should check if you guys have the (brain?) trait that Garry Nolan talked about in Ross Coulthart's interview. He thinks it goes down in the family line and helps to perceive UFOs as they are, and not as they project themselves to other people.
Pretty sure cats have this trait
The UFO’s like OP more than any of the rest of us

Submission Statement: This is my submission statement. I saw a UFO as described above at the date, time, and location described above. For those who feel the need to see the date, time, and location yet another time, just down in the comments, the date, times and location are as follows: The date was in May or June of 2003 The time was 3:30 PM give or take The location was between Kersey and Greeley, CO
I've had a few people ask what my prompt was-- here it is: "Imagine a boxy rectangular spacecraft that is gunmetal grey in color, longer than it is wide, and is emitting a fuscia aura of plasma from its back and bottom. It is descending from the sky over a country road lined with corn plants. A burgundy Mercury sable is driving below in the shadow of the craft. It is daytime and the sun is shining. The craft has bright blinking lights around its seams and is following the car. The bottom and rear of the craft are emitting a fuscia cloud of plasma and light. The car is travelling north and the craft is approaching from above and to the east, passing over the car to the northwest. The craft has an asymmetric top surface and no visible boosters, jets, or propulsion." I basically did this and redrew several times until it got close enough to what I saw.
OP, does this look like what you saw? https://www.reddit.com/r/aliens/s/DwREnbT3gC
Hard to say, it's so amorphous whereas my event was up close

Came to say the same , very 80s vibe
You know, it's possible that that's merely how I saw it considering the media I was exposed to at the time. It may have looked different in reality. My friend remembers more of a black cube, so I entertain the possibility that it is subjectively viewed based on altered perception induced by the craft itself
To what degree would you say this matches what you saw? It strikes me how "craft" like in terms of something that looks like an actual machine (but not a classic saucer) this is.
It came out pretty close. It definitely had asymmetric features in different places, the AI did a good job capturing it. [Here is my original drawing of the craft.](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/gMOMZYgoqQ)Yes definitely NOT a classic saucer. In fact I had been looking for years to see if anyone saw something similar, but came up empty until today.
Ah, very interesting!
Check out my last post, I created something similar to my sighting. Not as much luck with detail lol
very interesting! "While it was descending it appeared to be teleporting or waving in an up and down motion while emitting a purple and green mist until it came to a stop" sorry could you explain the "waving in an up and down motion" part a little more? it was traveling in a straight line and then when descending was going up and down and teleporting? thanks
Sure! After my friend noticed it the white streak ended and it began approaching. While it was moving through the air it appeared to almost be bouncing but was going so fast that it also appeared to be phasing in and out sight. Almost like lag in a game.
so cool! I love reading about UFO sightings and you are the first one I read that describes that kind of movement while descending one little thing, I asked chatgpt if a source of light traveling at a speed faster than light would create a white streak or trail behind of it, and it said yes hehe
That is neat! It happened so fast, I definitely thought it was a shooting star but it just kept going with zero breakage or sparks. Then it felt like it got spotted checked us out and left the same way it came.
That’s a military transport we’re not supposed to know about for like another 50yrs.
I've literally been waiting for 21 years to see them roll it out like they did with the stealth bomber
It’s going to be a bit trickier if it doesn’t fly with conventional wings and a jet engine.
It looks like some transport you would see in starcraft or something. Every time am convinced that many of the sightings are man made ufo that we just don't know nothing about. At the same time, These interdimentional ones that are more like living beings than tech craft.
I agree with that 100%
You literally almost went Peter quill
1994 Buick Park Avenue?
Mercury Sable actually, probably about that year
I bought a 92 Mercury Tracer in 2005. It only had 60k miles on it and lasted me until 2018 and 475k.
Niiice good ride
Amazing! I saw something similar almost 10 years ago. The shape and description of the metal are very similar. Sunday afternoon, sunny day. I was looking at the city when I saw something quickly materialize in the sky. The object rotated on its own axis and 5 seconds later, it disappeared in the same way it arrived, as if it had misplaced its arrival location. The image caught my attention because it is a very similar structure. It was quite far away, but I also noticed some very fine details in the orange color.
Wow that craft is absolutely nuts! So cool. Thanks for creating and sharing. Bigger picture, how do tales such as these about failed abductions, gel with the seemingly different set of capabilities and methods of the beings that almost unfailingly succeed at abductions and seem interested in generations - as in families? Is there any speculation as to what happens, or what some idea of the purpose might be, in these seemingly different type of abduction, like this one, detailed here?
Do you think this was an abduction? I don't have any memory of that. Just a craft flying in really low over us and zipping away. It flew right down to us and just left in a flash.[My longer account of the events is here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/bfQKwUzy0z) I don't know if I ever would consider it some sort of failed abduction at all
Ok, somehow I got that idea! I don't think I was using my power to see that, just possibly from your images. Looks like the car is being tractor beamed up by the pink mist light lol! I guess the big question, how do abduction-eers (beings that do them) compare to these other types of contact experiences? Compare and contrast like. lol
I only recently tried to recreate my own UFO experience. Seeing so many making fun of this is disheartening. Any wonder people keep quiet about these things. I suggest that people be more respectful, because these Encounters can be very disturbing, and someone who chooses to share should be supported, not ridiculed.
please use the report button on such comments
Honestly I kind of expected this, it's fine. Small brains ridicule what they don't understand
Refusing to literally look up is crazy though, that's my kinda coping mechanism in an existential crises and I respect it
[удалено]
Haha awesome comparison. I always thought it looked car-like in its form factor but taking a step back, yeah it's a big grey box 🤷 doesn't look like something that should fly

Thanks for posting and reposting, I appreciate it! Earlier you said it strafed you, can you say more about that please?
I guess I'm trying to say it passed over us while maintaining it's heading? Like it stayed straight while moving diagonal over us.
Oh that's odd! Yeah I've seen UFOs in videos doing that. They don't move in the direction they're pointed... they move kinda sideways. Were the lights in this picture like the lights you saw?
Very similar. There was definitely a hazy, fuscia plasma coming from it.

I just want to know why nearly every abduction or close encounter has a slightly different variation of craft or creature. The sheer amount of variety makes me think it’s something spiritual manifesting itself into our reality. Otherwise it means there are hundreds of different alien species and craft on Earth that we have zero solid proof for somehow.
That's been a frustrating part for me too. I have never seen anything similar to what I saw depicted, until someone sent me a book passage today. My friend and I saw it together, and neither of us saw the stereotypical saucer...something big and blocky. I suspect there may be some sort of consciousness control at work, why they could all appear different.
Imho the most likely explanation for these typical "hollywood-like" almost abduction encounters witnessed by a few people is a natural phenomena that causes mass hallucinations were brain waves of people next to each other synchonize and hallucinate an idea that is already in the brain (hence why it only happened once before UFOs became popular) . They each then see a pretty similar thing, that matches when described to each other, but if they would have a good memory and drawing skills i bet some details would differ. Before UFOs these just mostly causes religious sightings, like seeing angels or speaking burning bushes. A good candidate for causing such an effect could be cosmic ray anomalies, or a variation of the "Ganzfeld experiment" that causes hallucinations with specific sensory deprivation. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/289725587_Magnetic_Anomalies_and_the_Paranormal
I'm totally open to the shared hallucination theory. Like I've said I don't know WHAT it was, but we both saw it... Synchronized brainwaves would be almost equally astounding, despite the Rube Goldberg somersaults it takes to get there 🤷
I was thinking more about your comment...think about vehicle brands. We have an astonishing variety for just one global species... Volkswagen beetles to big dump trucks or motorcycles. I think variety makes a lot of sense and is not an indicator of various species, merely different designs. Just a thought I had 🤔
That’s a good way to see it. Perhaps some of different vehicles have unique purposes, and perhaps some are just cosmetically unique.
Seeing as you and your family have had multiple encounters - have you considered hypnotic regression or hypnotherapy to try to figure out what is going on and why?
I have but I have some misgivings/concerns about that...I'm just not sold 100% on regression I guess, but I might give it a go with the right practitioner
[удалено]
No attack at all, but you're right it does totally look akin to a tanning bed. It is interesting how many different objects folks have said it looks like. It's almost like a Rorschach test 😂
My buddy and I saw one in Kansas years and years ago, and we had a similar reaction - laughter. I wonder if there is something to that.
Very interesting! What did it look like?
Ours was a big old ball of orange "fire" above the highway. This was maybe 1989 or so, and I'm rather surprised it's not listed as a mass sighting. I think there were probably 40 people pulled over on the side of the Interstate. It was there, hovered, did a super speedy dash out to a few miles, changed course on a dime, and then took off and disappeared pretty quickly. Whatever it was, we still can't do that. It was maybe 3000 feet over the ground. Lasted all of three minutes or therabouts.
Can you explain the differences between the image here and what you actually saw?
Sure! Well my original account of the whole thing isn[here. I go into a lot more detail.](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/bfQKwUzy0z) But mainly the bottom was flatter and there was more plasma-haze stuff. It seemed to have more lights...but honestly it was all shocking and 21 years ago and even my buddy couldn't be exact in his recall..but you'll see he remembered it too.
This thing looks like it was about 10 feet above you. No way that's accurate, right?!
It swooped down pretty low right over us. Maybe 10 feet isn't exactly enough but it couldn't have been more than 50-100
Actually yes looking at the image about in that range
That illustration resembles a story from Sweden where a guy encounters this massive ship passing above him, then later is found by police some hours later almost frozen to death. 80m long 10m high black box. https://www.ufo.se/index.php/ante-jonssons-narkontakt Use chat gpt to translate if you are more interested in the story :)
I saw a similar one around that year in southern coast of Spain. It had a rectangle form with two rounded lights under, i could not see details as it was late evening. We were a group of friends and some refused to look up thinking we were pranking also.
I detest AI but I like these images
That area is smack dab between two airports North and South. Not saying it was a plane but if it was silent and gliding could it have been a funky blimp or something?
I've seen blimps and airplanes, this was not that.
I believe you
[удалено]
The only "unidentified" thing I've ever seen reminds me of this quite a bit. Approximately two years ago in the western suburbs of Chicago at night, I saw what appeared to be a large black rectangle fly directly overhead, silently gliding and low to the ground. I estimate it was 100-200 yards long, and it had two rows of white lights (not very bright) across the entire length of the object, maybe 30 lights in total. Because of my angle and the darkness, I saw nothing except the rectangular bottom of the object against the night sky. The only thing that ever made sense to me was maybe some kind of blimp, but really don't know if that's possible.
This is crazy for me personally because I saw something VERY similar to this aircraft a few months ago while I was driving from Brighton, CO to Greeley, CO. I was on HWY 85 traveling north and some twinkling/flashing lights caught my attention in the sky. This object wasn’t close to my location and I would say it would’ve been maybe 10 miles from me, but visibility was great that day with partly cloudy conditions. But after I saw maybe 15 flashes of lights I saw a large object moving slowly behind cloud coverage. Looked like an upside down skyscraper/aircraft carrier! I was only able to see a portion of the object it for a total of maybe 5 or 6 seconds due to having to focus driving in traffic. After that, it disappeared behind the clouds and didn’t see it again. There was no real way of using my phone to try and capture what I saw due to a high stop and go area of traffic, everything happening so fast and my brain trying to really understand what I just saw. Anyways, found this very interesting! It was my first ever sighting of any “ufo”.
Thanks so much for sharing! I know that exact area having grown up there. How fantastic!
Well that’s a weird one.. I love it
Check out Chris Bledsoe's book: UFO of GOD: The Extraordinary True Story He went on a couple Podcasts too. Apperantly he can summon Orbs. [https://www.instagram.com/christopherlentzbledsoe/?hl=en](https://www.instagram.com/christopherlentzbledsoe/?hl=en) Weekly Orb sightings filmed You will find alot similarities with your story.
The color of the flame pink I find most interesting. A great match to a color I saw in a single cloud in the sky once.
When I saw this my mind went immediately to the Forward Unto Dawn. Clearly I've been spending too much time fighting the Flood lately. How close is this image to the actual design of what you saw? Is the general shape right but the greebling a little off or is it spot on?
The general shape is totally right. It didn't have "tail lights" exactly like this, but it did have lights without any sort of fixtures emanating from the edges. The pink fuscia plasma was there 100% and the underside was flatter. I'd rate this at like 80% accuracy but the size, distance, overall shape are all pretty spot on.
Just them Duke boys at it again
Okay that's hilarious actually best comment
A WinnebUFO asked me for directions too.
Why is everyone just trolling the AI generated pic lol
[удалено]
It is my buddy's mom's Mercury Sable from the year 199X, driven in 2003 when she was still young 😂
How accurately did chatgpt make this compared to your experience? You ever tried MidJourney AI? It’s faaaaar better than ChatGPT at imagery
I used Facebooks AI chat and honestly this is pretty close. The first picture anyway
Stop the car and get out!!! When will you people learn!?
I was 14 and his mom was driving and refused to look up 😭😭😭
She genuinely refused to even look and got quite mad.
Got it, still, for the rest of you, stop the car and get out!
Sorry, but those pictures are useless. A pencil sketch would be better.
Ask and [you shall receive ](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/ZnDGvZksxK)
One of the stories in George Knapp's skinwalker ranch book involved the owner of the ranch and his nephew seeing what looked like the tail lights of a camper after dark way across the property. Thinking it was trespassing campers they started walking that way to investigate and alegedly the thing started moving away from them like it was driving across the field. Then just before it was about to hit a fence it gently rose up off the ground and zipped away.

How come when I did the same thing my post was removed?
The AI art reminds me of old Tokusatsu mecha/spaceships, especially the Metal Heroes series like Uchuu Keiji series (Gavan, Sharivan, Shaider)... *Vavilos... Hasshin!*
Ps6 lol like totally looks like a gaming console.
It has been interesting to see what everyone compares it to for sure. Game console is a top comment...I always thought it looked somewhat car like, like an 80s Lincoln Continental. But that's how it really looked in real life.
How close would you say this depiction is to the actual sighting as far as the craft is concerned? I'm not too familiar with the processes by which AI produces images. I *think* it converts text input to imagery, kinda like the sketch artists that work with law enforcement. Personally, I don't recall ever seeing one of those sketches look anything like the suspect, hence my question.
Hmmm. The design is very human. Looks like something out of halo.
I thought that was a GPU on first glance, wild.

Just HOW do you do that!? Wanna hear it from a Black guy!? Shit is WILD.
That looks like an RV made by Tesla 😆
My vape! It was my vape!!!
Personally, I am pleased to see that aliens equip their vehicles with taillights for good road safety. Gotta obey local regulations
You were stalked by a VCR my guy
The craft in the image looks like a DVD VCR combo.
Which one did you use to make it? I've tried to do that as well but wasnt able to get something as clean and detailed as that.
I read your post about family history with UFOs and its really interesting, thanks for sharing. you said your son used to have nightmares, did they kept happening or they stopped? its really interesting because most parent ignore what their sons tell them about weird dreams
Which AI did you use?
Who’s hard drive ?
