UFOs
I have been asked a few questions about the strange encounters noted on my profile so let me explain a little bit more. Back then I used to live in Chateauguay, a suburb southwest of Montreal, Quebec in Canada.
My first encounter happened on a quiet night around 2 AM. We were on a straight road that crossed an Indian Reservation by the name of Kahnawake when suddenly I noticed that there was a large light in the sky. There really was nothing extra-special about it. It looked like a star, but much
This started in the late 70's. I used to live in bigger and less bright.
Even though I stared at it for most of our trip, I can't describe it more than that. This was nearly forty years ago and sadly, I didn't have a camera handy to catch it either so this is how I remembered it looked.
At some point, I told my husband about it. He dismissed it, without even checking it out and told me it was more than likely the moon and I should stop imagining things. Yet, there were two problems with his statement. I could see both the moon and the strange light and even at that, the unusual object was too small to be the moon, and too big to be mars. On top of that this light, for lack of a better word, moved from north to south while we, in the car, stayed on a straight course.
Seeing that I wouldn't let go, he checked it out and admitted it wasn't the moon but stubbornly added that it was probably a plane or a helicopter. But the problem with his assumption was that my window was open and we couldn't hear anything but the soft sound of the car's engine.
As we neared our destination, the thing still hung up there as if it was following us. My hubby took a 90-degree turn. Instead of being in our back, the light was still on my right, but now slightly ahead of us. My hubby, who had noticed it, hit the brakes. The light continued for about a hundred feet and stopped. I heard him muttered something and he backed up quickly. The light stayed still for a few seconds before it backed up about the same distance we did, positioning itself on our right. My hubby repeatedly said, "No, no, no!" and hit the gas. He took a left turn into our street. The light followed for a second or two, and then zoomed over our head and disappeared in the same direction we had come from, the reservation.
My hubby never slowed down until we reached our house. We looked at each other and we both asked the other, "Did we really did just see what we saw?" We stayed in the car for long minutes wondering if we shouldn't have stayed and checked it further.
This was our first encounter (at least, that we recall).
That same summer, we had a few more but the one other that stroke a cord happened during the following winter and it left our dogs (two Samoyeds) crying and scratching to get inside the house while we stood outside, baffled. We didn't see the light itself. It was around 3AM when suddenly the whole yard turned as bright as if it were 3PM. The dogs howled and ran to the house, looking over their shoulders.
We're talking about two adult and well-behaved dogs that wouldn't normally bark. This is why we could play outside with them in the middle of the night without having the neighbors swearing at us.
On this particular night though, they were all but quiet. They alternated between whining and howling while scratching at the door to get inside. It took a while for my hubby and me to realize they were not looking at us but rather at something behind us in the sky. We both turned to see if we could discover what was causing them to act so out of character. Everything happened too fast. I can't really describe what we saw. However, we both had the same experience. Whatever had lit the yard flew in a zigzag reminiscent of lightning but with the thickness of a moon crescent, before it disappeared in the direction of the Indian reservation. As soon as it did, the normal night returned. However, the dogs didn't want to stay out anymore. We had to let them in.
After that night, they never came outside with us in the middle of the night ever again. You may believe what you want, but to me, the proof lay in the dogs' behavior.

Fascinating encounters. Thank you so much for sharing :).

My pleasure. Thank you for taking the time to read it. :)
G.G. - Like your dogs, I wouldn't want to go outside after dark either. I got chills reading this.
haha It had the opposite effect on us, humans, though. We got restless and spent countless hours out at night. We'd take rides especially on dark roads, in unpopulated areas. Yet, our hope to see more faded as time went by and nothing else ever happened. I still love to go outside at 3AM though. I guess old habits die hard. :P
My opinion is that we have too much detection technology today that deters outside exploration into our world. I think the word is out. I recall often hearing about UFO's as a child, but not as an adult.
That could be it. Or they are done checking us out. :P
There seem to have been some years that were especially rife with UFO activity. I don't know the rhyme or reason behind why earth is more of a hot spot some years but not others, but it's pretty interesting stuff.
Maybe it depends on the way they travel. Maybe spots are aligned some years and not others. Who knows?
Great point G.G.
Wow, GG. Just found this and I am quite speechless!
Hey GG.So my parents were on the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in WA along the Columbia river rock hounding or fishing or something and it got dark. Then there was a light and it was moving in 90 degrees, sharp and fast in the night sky, and it stopped and hovered for awhile.
The local radio was all crazy with people calling in (this was years ago, btw, no cell phones) about the light in the sky.
Then the radio went silent. The DJ was still playing music and doing the DJ thing, but he no longer talked about the lights, UFOs or anything. Like 5 minutes prior he wasn't going frantic over aliens.
That's why my parents thought it was some government testing. They put the gag order on him. Plus, they were on the nuclear reservation. Anyway, you never know what's out there in the night.
wow The light moving and all sounds familiar. That might be a common point. As for the DJ going silent, it's simple. He stopped talking about it because he was outside looking at the light. :PI told you I was an unconditional believer so I'm more inclined to think that if the government was involved, it was a cover up so people wouldn't be afraid. :P
Haha, Well the Dj was still talking, but not about the light and wasn't taking more calls. It's scarily Man in Black creepy.I can buy that theory! Maybe Hanford is like an Area 51.
Yes indeed. Creepy! (Hmm the DJ might have had pre-recorded talking and music. :P) He had to be curious too.I don't know what really happened, but it's hard to believe that if the government was doing tests, they wouldn't have told a DJ out of everyone. What if he had leaked the news on the radio? And usually what they say is that it's a weather balloon not experiments so...speculations are open! :P
Speculations! I see the great plot to a novel here. I'll have to work with it. :)
You can be my beta and give me some more inspiration to raise the spookieness.

Well who knows when it will be written. But we can talk then. ;)
