Full Report Text:
Missing time after seeing something that looked like the Northern lights. I was on my porch late one night with a friend. I looked over past the house nextdoor and saw something that looked like multi color gasses.
( like the Northern lights) However it appeared to be on the other side of the neighbors house and colse to the ground. I turned to tell my friend to look but, before he turned around it was gone. Shortly after this, maybe a couple of months I had another strange thing happen to me.
I left a frien of mine at a local bar to take another frien to pick up her car. I had NOT been drinking,as I was due to have a baby in a few months. We drove apx.
15 min. to my house to pick up her car. She was going home.
I was going back to be with my other friend I had left at the bar. I pulled right behind my friend and we started to drive from my house. (she had a old beat up car and usaly drove slower than the speed limit.
I had a little sporty car and usaly drove a bit above the limit.) At the end of my street there was a stop sign. I stoped there to light a cigarette.
When I turned to follw my friend she was no where in sight. I sped up to catch her. She was no where.
I went strait to the bar to get my other friend and she was very upset. It turned out that I had been gone for over 2 hrs. I'm not sure what I believe as far as sightings.
I always assumed it was military or other goverment projects. I bought a book on the subject just a week ago and alot of the things I have read apply to symptoms I have had in the years sence. That is how I found your sight.
Just trying to get more info. I see here there haven't been any reports of abductions. Do you think this is crazy or am I reading to much into things that can easily be explained? I see on your sight there are a few reports from the neighborhood I grew up in.
I don't know if this could be connected. Please keep in mind the dates and times here are very apx. as it was such a long time ago it is hard to remember.
I just wanted to see if anyone here might be able to answer some of this for me. I don't care if you put this accou! nt on th e sight or not. My only reason for righting was in hopes to contact someone who knows more on the subject.
I am a 3x year old, female ((deleted))l Officer.(ie.have passed West Virginias ((deleted)) test in the process)*grin* Married with four children.
I live in a very small town and am not trying to call attintion to myself in any was. Expecialy because of my profession. I would like for this information to be on a need to know basis.
I haven't even told my husband for fear he would think I was going over the deep end. Thanks so much for you time. Even thou I havent told him it is still ok to contact me.
Thanks again.
