A few questions, if you don't mind.

I don't mind at all.

Originally posted by LadyGreenEyes1. Did your friend stop driving when you saw the lights?

No he kept driving but slowed way down as we both watched the object. He was hunched over the steering wheel and I leaned over and was watching through the windshield. By the time it took off, we were both looking at it through the drivers side window and the car was barely moving.

Not that I can recall. It was a 1974 Pinto, so there weren't any other electronics in the car besides the radio and it was actually an FM converter because the car only had an AM radio.

Originally posted by LadyGreenEyes3. Regarding the traffic, is it possible that you simply encountered a slow spot in the flow?

No. I looked behind us as we went over the rolling hills and couldn't see any headlights behind us for miles. When the radio came back on, the cars in the northbound lanes instantly appeared again as if they were on a conveyor belt that had temporarily stopped moving or were somehow invisible to us. Very hard to explain. When we got to our exit, we went across the bridge over the divided highway and I looked back in the direction from which we came. There were still no headlights visible as far as I could see, and I expressed this to my still shocked friend.

Neither of us was wearing a watch, and the car didn't have a clock. We went back to his house where we were both living at the time. We both showered (separately lol) and got dressed to go to a New Years Eve party. We both had dates and the party was at another friend's house across town and in our minds we had plenty of time to spare. When we got to the party, our dates had left hours before and they along all of our friends were mad at us. That's when we discovered the missing time. Of course nobody believed us when we told them our story, It should've been about 9:00 but it was well after midnight.

The trip didn't seem to take any longer from our perspective. There were no breaks in the continuity of time that either of us remember. We have talked about this incident and analyzed it for years, and have no explanation for what happened during the missing time.

Those are all very good questions. Thanks for showing an interest.

Interesting. If he had pulled over or something, that might account for some of the lost time. Simply slowing down would not do so.

I remember the old Pintos. My grandfather had one, that my dad inherited after my grandfather died. No, nothing fancy in those at all! Still, in many old UFO reports, didn't cars stop completely? That only the radio did in this case is interesting. Not sure I have ever heard of that happening before.

The cars vanishing is a bit odd. No more so, I suppose, that a car seeming to change locations (as in being in front at a stop sign, to being behind a moment later), or a car seeming to change make and model. Sometimes, I think there are forces playing with what we see, to deceive us. Some sort of mental trick, not a Matrix-type thing, I mean.

The lost time....weird. Any chance he did sort of stop, or close to it, for a while longer than you both realized? Seems unlikely, I know. How about the possibility that it took you longer to get ready, since neither had a watch? It is possible to lose track of time. Still, three hours seems a bit much for that!

Before the other cars faded away, or whatever they did, do you know if anyone in another vehicle reacted to the thing you and your friend saw? Any heads either of you saw turn to look, or anyone slow down at about that time?

The time change aspect of these cases suggests to me that someone is manipulating people mentally, perhaps to make them forget something else they are doing, or just to deceive for some other reason. Unsettling, in any case.

Well, can understand that, too. Know of many cases with dangerous parents. In that case, you not being there could be a good thing. Of course, there are angels, as well as demons, and who knows how they would appear to us? Certainly not as robed, Biblical-style figures. Maybe from something in the sky. Even that would be Biblical.

I don't remember all the posts; have you had any really negative experiences?

I was born into a negative experience. My older brother tried to kill me at least three times that I can remember before I was ten years old. My mother never even liked me. I could go on and on.

But as far as my visitors from the sky, they felt much more like family than anyone else I've ever encountered. I realize how crazy this sounds to anyone who hasn't experienced such things, but this doesn't change my truth.

Sounds like your family was a lot worse than mine! They were simply a bit disfunctional at times. Never felt unloved, though.

All things considered, can totally understand your thoughts on those events. Maybe they really were angels. I won't call anything "crazy" just because I haven't experienced it. Seen too much myself that is hard to believe!

Thanks for the benefit of the doubt.

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen/felt it. Just putting this stuff out there seems to help in some way.

I don't know if I've ever written about this before on here, been a member here for a couple of years now and always enjoyed these threads.
This happened to me when I was about 17.
I was out for the evening with some friends from school, one of them I had known since I was in primary school, the others I met in High school.
There were three females and two males including myself, and we were all the same age, apart from one of the guys who was I THINK one or two years older.
One of these girls was one of my best friends, but I want to state here at the start that we hadn't really been very close for very long. We hadn't even known each other that long, only a couple of years, certainly not enough time to know certain things that will come out a bit later.

We started the night by going for a drive. For some reason, I began getting spooked; it was dark, and it was cold; and I thought I could see things in the wooded areas along side the lanes we were driving down (think when Mel Gibson see's the aliens leg move back into the corn in Signs, that kind of thing).
I joked about aliens being in the woods, and started freaking the other girls out. I thought it was funny for a while, and then dropped it.
Can't remember what happened exactly after that but I think we might have gone to get some food before heading back to my house, since my family was away for the weekend, so I had the house to myself.

Again, it gets hazy here, it's been a long time since this has happened; but I think the rest of the story starts when I bring up that I thought my house might have been haunted.

We were the first family to live in this brand new house, so there wouldn't have been any 'residual energy' from previous occupants, though in later years we learnt that the field the housing estate was built up was actually a very very old graveyard.

I commented that sometimes the cat would suddenly sit up and become agitated or disturbed as though someone had woken her or called her name; and she would randomly look at things in the room that we couldn't see. There was a time when I believe I saw an apparition in my dining room. It didn't have a physical form as such, but it had the appearance of smoke or thick cobwebs, and it was moving towards and then away from me. I even spoke to it, asking it to move closer or away, and when it did, I ran out the room.
And once I saw an ex-boyfriend on the day that I found out that he had died. I had been shopping with my mum, and when we got home, I took my stuff to my room, and as most messy teens do, I dumped the empty bags on the floor for the time being. Until the bags started scrunching themselves up on the floor. Asking out loud if it was my ex-boyfriend, I then asked if he could stop it as I was being scared, the bags went limp and didn't move again.

So very odd things had already happened to me.
By this point, the lights were off, and we were just chilling out in the dark in my house. The room wasn't pitch black, as there were street lights outside both the front and back of the house, but it was comfortably dark.
I felt a hand grip around my wrist. It wasn't a physical grip, I can't explain it. It was like a memory of a touch, I guess, and it was holding me around the wrist. And that was when these images starting coming into my head.

A woman walking along a cliff top, she had blonde medium length curly hair and was wearing a red jumper and walking a red setter dog.
A young boy (who I recognised to be my best friends brother) wearing boxing shorts and boxing gloves, and a man (her dad) wearing a blue checkered shirt and had dark circles around his eyes.

When I spoke this out loud, my best friend informs me that this woman was a member of her family, until an accident had her go over the cliff with her dog. She also said that I exactly described what was going on in her family the day her dad was given the news that he had a blood clot in or near his heart.

Then I get some more images.
A white dolls house, with love heart shaped windows.

My other female friend says her biological dad gave her one when she was a really young girl, but her step father smashed it up when she was misbehaving. Both the girls start to cry and get freaked out.

One of the guys is shaking, and asks me to "do him next".
I tell him about a white face, it looks like a mask but it's not. It's bald and old. It's in a wooded area and there is a light above the trees.
There is also a little girl, falling down some stairs, and she is screaming and holding her ear.

The face and trees are from a nightmare that has haunted him for years. His younger sister fell down the stairs when she was about 4, while she was cleaning her ears with a cotton tip.

HE started sobbing, and then I'm really freaked out cuz this guy never cries.
The remaining guy asked me to try him, and I saw an old man and a boat. Apparently this didn't mean anything to him.

Good enough for a weird experience?
