I’m new to this community, but not the topic. About 5 years ago my son, who was 12 at the time, and myself were driving on a backstretch of highway at dark when we spotted a UFO. For context it was winter, around 6:30 at night, and we were driving in a 99 Ford pickup. Now I new this road and all the backroads for that matter. It was in the county where I grew up, Bourbon County, KS. As we came around a curve we saw, across the road and back high in the treetops, a glowing white light, orb, or something resembling a single flood light on a really high pole. The treetops were barren with no leaves as it was winter so I got a pretty good look at it for that first initial observation. About the time it took me to register it mentally and comprehend the situation, it turned its gaze immediately, and I mean it went from a fixed position in the trees to nearly in front of my truck while at the same time focusing what I can only describe as the brightest light I’d ever experienced at night before. Though it never really blinded me at all, which I found odd especially in the dark, the light was powerful enough I could see every detail imaginable inside my truck. The light was a pale whight, not so much a blinding brilliant white, more like a warm white light, if there is such a thing. Mind you I was tootin along doing at least 65 mph at the time and I never even swirved out my lane. I don’t know how either it was dang near at my windshield. After the aggresive light posture it darted north of our position about 100 meters away. And the movement was immediate, as in it was there so fast it had a light tail or trail that had to catch up to it. Now it’s adjacent on the right side of my truck on my boys side where he was seated. It suddenly bounced up and over and back down, like the outline of say the St Louis Arc. It did that a couple of times when poof! Like it shot off at what had to be thousands and thousands of miles per hour.
My reasoning for mentioning anything is it really only dawned on me a few years later that we got to the bar at closing time, and didn’t get to play in the ring game we were there to play in. I left my door at 6:00 and it’s only an hour to the bar. I’ve also had some weird circumstances befall me since, along with weird dreams after our incident. My son was unfazed. He thinks it was cool. And yes, as we did share an incredible experience I may have once considered eager to witness if ever given the chance prior to our event, I felt I wanted nothing to do with this thing. Initially I was very uncomfortable. I am very protective over my kid. He’s a hell of a good kid and now nearly a man, I felt there was utter helplessness with regards to his safety. And I’ve never felt that way before. We’ve hunted, fished, I’ve taught him survival skills as a young boy, etc… I taught him everything I could possibly think of to help him survive. Guns, especially guns. But this gave me a real bad vibe. And I honestly think I was initially in shock. It’s also been like a blur since them regarding the memories of the event, though my son could go into great detail about it.
But anywho. Is there someone I could talk to about possible hypnosis or is that stuff bogus. I want to delve deeper into this circumstance, but aside from posting the encounter on a few sites dedicated for these things I haven’t done squat else.
Thanks for any help.
