Photographs and videos of what are popularly known as “UFOs” drives much of the interest in what are now being called Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena in Senator Schumer’s proposed legislation. In this blog I discuss the little-known ability of UFO intelligences to insert images into photographic equipment that we interpret as “UFOs” when in reality no “objects” are physically present. This technological capability should be viewed as part of what from a physicalist perspective are the “illusory” mechanisms of contact. I discuss the Virtual Experience Model that explores how the creation of “illusions” is an integral part of the contact experience. To access this blog click on the link below.

So for some background information, my girlfriend is an agnostic, but closer to the atheist side in terms of believing in a god of some sort, but not sure exactly what it is because of a lack of evidence. I am a Christian, and not in what I’d consider the average Sunday school kind, but I really acknowledge the way the paranormal not only exists in various forms, but really plays into the way reality works. Her house has a weird and kinda dark past, with experiences of feeling presences and even seeing figures when she was home alone.

So a couple weeks ago she had what I assumed at first was a dream, until she gave me more details, and I believe it was an out of body experience. Can someone help decide if that’s what it is, and maybe if you’ve experienced something similar?

Here’s the story from her perspective…

It was sometime in the middle of the night, and I felt as if I woke up and I was awake. I’m not sure if I fell back asleep unknowingly or what, but I started to feel myself rise out of my bed and float towards the ceiling. As I rose I could see a figure standing at the end of the bed looking at my bed, where I had laid, and I kept going up until I was somehow standing in this white room, with absolutely nothing in it except a door at the other end. Next to me was this little girl about 4 or 5, and the first thing she said to me, was you should know who I am. (For some background on this, my girlfriend had previously about 4 years ago wondered if she had gotten pregnant due to some health and other issues, and somehow lost the baby early) then I heard a heavy running on what sounded like was in a hallway on the other end of the door, running towards the door and the girl told me not to let him in. I began to rebuke it saying it wasn’t welcome here and I didn’t want it here and it stopped running and Then I heard a different voice besides the girl telling me I needed to start listening to what my boyfriend was trying to tell me (talking about the gospel and about other paranormal similarities) then I suddenly felt as if I was falling back into my bed, and with a hard thud I woke up violently.

Sorry it’s so long, but I’d really appreciate any insight. Thanks so much!

First time I saw something I could not explain in the sky was in 2015. I was in the balcony of a apartment I was living at that time and my girlfriend was with me. We were just looking at the sky cause it was beautiful that day. It happened around 17:30 and the sky was partly clean but still with plenty of light fron the sun.

I saw something crossing the sky and asked if my girlfriend was seeing it too and she confirmed. It was a black sphere, no lights, no sound, with a steady speed and direction. It was not far, and was flying in low altitude just a little bit above the buildings. I would estimate it's size to be no larger than a basketball and it was fast for the altitude it travelled. It took about 30s to cross the sky from where we could see it.

What I could conclude is that it was impossible to be a plane or helicopter because of the altitude and size. Also not a balloon because of the high speed (is was not windy) and also not a drone because it was clearly a soundless black sphere and I saw several drones flying over the years... nothing close to what I saw thar day.

What do you guys think? If you are interested I can post my other experiences with ufos.

I think there is a connection between quantum immortality and monks self immolating.

If quantum immortality is real I wonder what sort of timeline you end up in playing Russian roulette by yourself with an audience.

Last night in my dream I met up with this dude who was a long time friend who I have not seen in a while. Felt a very strong connection to him. In the dream, we were reminiscing on the old times, we even brought up some of our older mutual friends, including actual names and events that we remembered. In the dream, I was confident these memories were real, and they felt real.

It wasn’t until I woke up that I realized none of those things were real. The person I met, the memories, the people and events I remembered, none of it.

It makes me wonder. What are the chances that sometimes when we dream we are actually tapping into a parallel life? What if these lives are just as legit as our every day waking life but can only be accessed in a certain state of mind?

It almost felt like I was “walking in” to a parallel life.

I have a feeling that we are living in different planes of reality simultaneously and sometimes when we go to sleep our consciousness can peak through to some of these other lives.

Anyone have a similar experience? Thoughts?

If you are here you like weird stuff. Well, it doesn’t get much weirder than this awesome hour long special that plays every Tuesday night at 8 PM (all time zones) on this streaming website. I won’t post the link because that’s frowned upon I guess but just google exp tv.

Tune in a little early for the mood to settle in. Smoke some dope if you got it. And get ready for the coolest mash up of ufo/bigfoot/abduction/cattle mutilation type stuff from the 70s and 80s. It’s a ride.

Report back if you check it out, love to hear some opinions.

Last Friday I was out in the yard talking to a neighbor and saw a light low in the sky and it was moving so I went to grab my phone and this is what I got. The highway you see below is Interstate 75 North going right. I've got a new phone ,moto razor, and this is the video from this thing but it's still interesting. I've been paying very close attention the phenomenon for several years now and consider myself thoroughly researched so I can't help but sky watch often. I've been seeing many small flashing objects, some orbit a larger one, and groups the past 6 or so months. Orb video so months. Let me know what you think besides r/vaguedots please.

Another post about the Mothman reminded me of the eeriest place on Long Island—Sweet Hollow Road/Mount Misery. I like to spend time alone and I also like to be scared; moving back to Long Island soon -- so cue my visit to this spot.

Sweet Hollow Road and Mount Misery are both known for supernatural lore, from the ghostly "Lady in White" aka Mary to the legend of Mothman sightings in the area. The woods around Mt Misery have always had a reputation for being unsettling, with rumors of an old, tragic asylum fire and strange lights that appear at night. The Mothman Prophecies takes place on Mount Misery. Some even say these spots act as a kind of “portal." I've read this area has an overwhelming energy, one steeped in history too... with the West Hills area being an interesting area to explore.

I was really looking to experience some strangeness or supernatural tension... but overall felt nothing. Anyone out there have suggestions/stories of a place that scratches this itch?

I would like to preface this by saying if you don't believe me it's cool but don't be mean because there's no need to be.. if I didn't see it myself I don't know if i'd believe it either but with the pressure i'm applying i'd think something definitely was seen. whatever   

so basically when I was like 5 or 6 (before I started school) I saw a bird that was about this big (pictures shown below). I've been trying to find exactly what I saw since I was a kid, so so much research on what it could've been but I've yet to find anything exact.. it's so annoying i'm 21 now and my story has been the same all my life and i'm not questioning why I saw it just want to know wtf it was because it really is annoying trying to find an explanation for years and not being able to... is it so wrong to want an explanation..

anyway my description: feathers all over, all black body and head iirc. It flew close to the tree tops, pretty high trees higher than my house but because it was so big I saw the details very vividly. It's feathers were really detailed like big bird's feathers but all black I know that sounds unserious but idk how else to describe how feathery it was. It made a slow and deep wooshing noise as it flew, flapped it's wings pretty slowly. It looked straight ahead the entire time.

For more context I was outside playing basketball with my neighborhood friend. I got mad because I sucked at it so I went to go sit on the steps then I heard the deep wooshing sound like wind almost and looked up that's when I saw it right atop the trees. I didn't even get to sit on the steps. Just stared at it the entire time frozen. My first and last time seeing anything like that. I called my friend over to look every couple of seconds but she didn't come to look until it was really far in the distance. It still looked abnormally big even then. She saw it in the distance and was just like "oh yea I see it", I remember being kinda mad she didn't come sooner and feeling like she missed it. I asked if she remembers this a couple months ago and she told me she doesn't, annoyingly we were the only ones outside and I really wish she remembered but whatever.

Don't know what else to say about my experience since that's about all that happened but I will say this, comparing my thunderbird sighting to other people's makes me even more frustrated because they don't match up excatly. I've heard people say the thunderbird they saw was featherless, I've seen people say it flew fast and made a "thunder sound" when it flew hence the name?? I've seen people on here say they saw flashing lights in the sky before they saw the bird??? Sounding like otherwordly harry potter esque I'm so sorry it's just frustrating because I think outrageous stories like that make the encounter sound more unbelievable than it sounds already.

I take this really seriously because no matter what, I did see it. Not to discredit anyone though, if your experience was crazier than mine then by all means. But nothing too crazy happened for me except for the bird just flying by. That's as crazy as my story gets.

Now getting into my point of the taken pictures of the birds shown below, it's extinct. It's also not entirely black like how the bird I saw was. But if incase I'm not remembering correctly and it did have a different color neck and head and with white spots on it's wings (it literally didn't), even then this still is frustrating to make sound believable that what I saw was that big because BIRDS THAT BIG DON'T EXIST ANYMORE SO THEY SAY. I get the discourse "where would they live?, where would they poop?, they'd be seen they're too big to go without being seen" I get it I genuinely do but I don't even have any explanations or answers to that.

I find comfort in knowing other people claim to have seen a living bird this big before aswell. but that's all I got, is others saying somewhat similar things but the main and I think craziest thing is the size we say it is is almost always similar to eachother.

That's all I wanted to say thank you!

Screenshot of a thumbnail of the video because the actual video doesn't show it zoomed out like the thumbnail does.

A picture I drew that kinda shows what I saw from my view the best way I could.
