Below is a description of something that happened to me about two years ago. The description of the event is not the point of this though…it’s our reaction to the event I would like some feedback on. What I would like to know is if anyone has ever heard of the, “nothing to see here, go back to what you were doing, no reason to remember this” vibe I got back then and still get when I try to remember details of the event. When I try and remember, it’s like my thoughts just slide away. Is this something that happens often to people who witness such an event? I’m asking here because even the people who know me best and KNOW I should have been jumping up and down like a kid yelling, “Did you see that, did you see that?” don’t seem to think it was odd that I didn’t, which in itself I find strange.
The Event
In the spring of 2022, my son and I (he’s an adult) were in his back yard doing some clean up in mid-afternoon on a clear, sunny day. He was approx. twenty feet away from me working on something when I turned to see what he was doing and caught sight of a UAP moving across my field of vision from left to right… I said something to the effect of “What the fuck?” at which time my son looked up at me then turned to see what I was looking at…it was very similar to the “Mosul Orb” in size and speed of movement…we watched it until it was gone over the horizon and then we both went back to doing whatever it was we were doing. My normal reaction should have been me freaking out and talking about what we just saw in a loud, excited voice… for hours on end. We never spoke of it again…for two years.
Now, I’m the type of guy who would/should have been telling everyone I know and even those I don’t know about “the UFO I saw in the back yard” … and yet I didn’t. Then, after last summer’s congressional hearings, I started getting back into following the UAP news on YouTube and Reddit (I’d been away for years). I saw the “Mosul Orb” video on YouTube in the fall and thought, “Shit, that’s just like what we saw.” That evening, I planned on asking my son if he remembered seeing the orb …meant to ask him…was going to ask him…and didn’t.
It wasn’t until April of 2024 that the topic of UFO’s came up in a discussion one night and I asked him if he remembered the orb. The first words out of his mouth…he practically blurted out, almost defensively, “It wasn’t real high up in the sky it was only about fifty feet above us and it was solid!” Without telling him what I saw, I asked him to tell me what he remembered seeing…to be honest I was trying to prove to myself I wasn’t nuts, and what he described was exactly what I saw. He said it was the only time he ever spoken about it…And we haven’t discussed it since.
