I think I've had several time slips in my life but never paid much attention because they weren't scientifically provable (enough) for me to think it was anything but not paying attention... but the other day I lost about 10 minutes of time on a short drive where I was paying attention the the time, daughter acted weird, saw some things that were out of the ordinary... here's the story.

I had dropped my wife off for a 9 am appointment, and was bringing my daughter to 9 am dance class. I glanced at the clock as I was leaving the appointment location and noticed it was 8:54; I distinctly noticed, "Cool, we still have 6 minutes" to get my daughter to dance class. The class is only 2 miles away in one single straight road, has some stop lights and I made 4 green and 2 red that day.

I was driving and happened to notice an attractive woman in a white blazer in the lane next to me as I was approaching a stop light, about 200 yards away.

Here's where it gets strange....

I recall a strange feeling like gravity pulling my head back then a lapse for a small split second, didn't even think much of it... until the white blazer zipped past me at what looked like 150-200 MPH it seemed imiginary .... I was still heading up to the stop light, and when I glanced over to see the still next to me white blazer (and be a typical man ) and check out the woman in the blazer... it wasn't her! It was a totally different person - different race. I was slightly confused but didn't really "question reality", just thought it was odd that in that short time with no turn-offs two white blazers switched positions on the road - the one that had been driving next to me at the same speed suddenly bolted off at incredible speed and another similar car took her place.

I wouldn't have even had a second thought about the matter except that my daughter was exceptionally quiet (she is a talker!). We're very in tune and feel each others' emotions extremely well, so much so that I recognized without looking that she had an exceptional quiet and stillness. I looked back and asked if everything was alright and she just had this glazed look in her eyes. I asked again if she was alright and she just said (about dance class) "Are you gonna pick me up?"... "Are you gonna leave me at dance class?"

This was really bizarre! My daughter is a daddy's girl and we have an awesome relationship and trust... she knows I would NEVER leave her there and not pick her up, EVER! It has never happened and I always arrive early to see the last few minutes of class.

So we arrive at dance class at what should have been exactly on time, but we weren't.... we were 9 minutes late! It was 9:09 and so took us 15 minutes to drive 2 miles, hitting only 2 red lights, and averaging around 50 MPH. I went back today to measure the route and time it, again we hit 2 red lights and it took 4 1/2 minutes. The route is 2.4 miles.

One final oddity... my sun glasses were off, and I'm pretty sure I had them on because we were driving right into the sun and I ALWAYS wear them in the car. When I went to put them on, they were backwards in the holder. (They can't change by themselves, it's a small glasses holder that fits right and I've never once found them backwards.

So that's about it... I asked my daughter if she remembers anything weird but she didn't. As a side note, she's three years old.

I can't think of anyway this could be anything else but some sort of slip. It happened while I was driving, slowing down to stop at a light, and somehow I lost about 9 or 10 minutes of life with no explanation.

I had a similar experience,
while driving one night with my 13 year old son a car overtook us really fast in the lane next to us and was just about to slam in to the car in front of it. it would have started a chain reaction and no doubt as i was right next to the cars we would have been caught up in the mayhem.
but as quick as it all started to happen the two cars weren't there and another totally different car was in their place..
i went quite for a minute,, and then turned to my son thinking it was all in my head..
i said to him.."did you see that?".. he looked at me, went pale and said "you mean it actually happened..?"
we drove home with out saying another thing
so while mine wasnt exactly a time slip it was a spatial slip..

I'm not sure what to think of this.
What would the other drivers see? You and daughter sitting there frozen in time blocking a red light? When you "came around" there was no one beeping you wondering why you aren't going anywhere? Or do I just not understand how a time slip works? (I've only read about it once)

I agree with Sprocket2cog on this.

I've only read about them a few times and never knew if it was real.

I assume that at the time we "came back" if someone saw it first hand they'd simply ignore it and their mind would fill in something that made sense.

I almost ignored the women and cars changing place, and would have never thought about it again if it hadn't been for all the other details and specific times involved.

This is a totally wierd idea, but I thought about it when I read your account, as well as the other poster, who talked of a similar event, in which they were heading for a potential accident when the "slip" happened?

Me and my family have had such events happen twice, one in which we lost two hours, one which was approx. 10 minutes. In the second one, we were on a plane, that started to have trouble coming onto landing. Everyone was panicking. Then "bloop" it was quiet and we were landing normally. My son and I (he was 17 at the time) looked at each other and asked each other if we dreamed what just happened? What DID just happen? When did the problems smooth out and everyone calm down? We didn't see the transition, either of us.

When the plane came to a stop, he said, "Mom, I think we died." And we began to explore the possibility that perhaps, we don't ever experience dying! Perhaps our consciousness just steps out before a trauma and moves to an alternate universe or reality, so similar to the one we were in, we don't know what happened. Even in an alternate reality, everyone we know could have "dopplegangers" that we continue our relations with - even if one version of them is crying for our loss in another!

The other time it happened, we drove into a sudden wall of fog, so it could have been possible we hit another car or something.

I'm not saying I believe this to be true, I don't have any beliefs, but the hypothesis has always intrigued me since then! How many times could I have died and not know it??

I have had a number of incidents like this - but in reverse. I have been very late for something, and heavy traffic made me sure I would be horrifically late - so I "pushed" (mentally) and arrive 5 minutes early. Many times I have had this happen.

Interesting story OP, I have a different theory on what happened to You. I would say that instead of a time slip you have a dimension slip , meaning that for a brief time You either looked or were transported into another dimension , hence the subtle differences in both worlds. I would account the time difference to the fact that both dimensions or alternate realities if you prefer to call it that way are slightly out of sync when it comes to the passage of time , that is why, even thou you traveled the same distance the time seemed different.

Sorry if this is a bit jumbled up , I have a terrible headache and its kind of hard to formulate proper words

Interesting story as it fits in with my contention that as we draw nearer to Dec 21 2012 we are going to begin witnessing reality totally unravel before our eyes. It will start off slow and isolated but soon we will all experience what you have described and more. I would advise everyone to pay very close attention to your reality and take note of things that don't add up rather than just writing it off as "coincidence" or "dream" or "Hallucination"

I greatly enjoy reading experiences and theories related to events of this sort, whether they be called 'Time Slips,' 'Dimensional Slips,' 'Alternate Universe Phenomenon,' etc.

I did apparently miss the 'confirmed' part of this story as mentioned in the title. I rather expect 'confirmed' to mean validated in some way from an outside source, something having to do - if not with proof - with strong evidence and not merely a personal decision of truth. I would have enjoyed reading it without the declaration of confirmation in the title. Its usage, in my opinion, seeks to improperly legitimize the experience; however, it only serves to detract from this particular story.

This is a notion I have, for some time now, found intriguing. The biggest problems I have with the general, overall concept is that it doesn't easily allow for either extreme aging or long-term illness. Your plane experience is one thing, but it becomes a bit more difficult to explain when one has to rationalize being 173 or so years old. Still, I'm sure there are explanations which could rationally explain such things - I just haven't quite figured them out yet.

Thanks for sharing.

I have always thought the same thing. And we go to another alternate reality that is literally mili seconds after. But I think it's a flawed "theory" because if we don't ever experience dying, then how is it we still get constantly older? It would mean eventually I will be 2578390 years old some where

Dude...don't time slip and drive

-A message from MATSD

i'll throw this in the air lol. what if your concious flings you to another reality but say 20yrs before and wipes your memory after that point but not p[erfect (deja vus). so when you die from illness you rewind before that point, (i made this)
