Fire in the Sky

Its a pretty solid movie.

Rural Canada in the mid 60's my grandma had an encounter.  Woke up to pee middle of the night , and over the barn area there was a spinning disc with flashing lights and a rhythmic hum.  Probably like half the size of a standard barn. She ran back to bed and hid under the blankets.  Her view was maybe 100ft away, not far.  They checked the cattle in the am, but none missing, no marks on the ground.

Rural as in 100 miles from a city,  20 miles from the nearest town.  In the 60's.

When aged about 14, my sister-in-law and two friends had a bright beam of light suddenly illuminate them from the night sky. Lasted a few seconds. Nothing more to tell, though. 

While I’d expect teenagers to maybe make up such things, they all maintain the exact same story to this day, 45 years later. 

As a kid I was sleeping , woke up  , sat up in bed and moved the curtain back because it looked super bright outside and when I moved it back there was a super bright light that filled the room and I started to lose feeling in my feet  , as that feeling started to move up my body I slowly laid back flat and the curtain was still a open enough to allow the light inside the room. The numb feeling continued to move up my body and I felt like I couldn't move . As it was getting closer to my head I felt like I was going to die if I did not stop it.  The light stopped right at my neck and I regained feeling and I shook my arms and legs around . 

 Was most likely a very vivid dream that I woke up from and that was why the light went away. But it was so real feeling at the time, and I have never had any other dreams that I woke up in that I can remember over my entire life. 

 Only other "UFO" experience I have was  after 911 when all planes were still grounded. I saw a pair of military fighter jets ( I do not know the models , sorry for the basic description) flying in formation  . Likely having flow over Logan and looping back down to the base on the Cape. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a beam of light that came from  the area the planes had come from that ended directly under the 2 jets. As soon as the beam ended there was another aircraft directly under them that flew under them for a few seconds.  It looked like a TR3B , one of those triangle shaped planes that people have seen.  From the side it looked almost flat like a rectangle, after flying under the 2 jets another beam of light shot off into the distance and it was gone in the blink of an eye. 

   I'm guessing it was not a UFO , that it was another military aircraft.  I asked a friend that was in the air force that was familiar with those sorts of things what it could have been and they told me it was probably a targeting system  and that it came from the  2  jets , and was not a 3rd aircraft at all.     I'm sure that other people had to have seen it . Since there was no other air traffic at the time , anytime a plane flew over it stood out. Never mind a pair of military fighter jets with laser beams. And it was over  a very populated area, near the interchanges of most of the major highways in the area. about 40 minutes south of Boston , 10 minutes south of Gillet stadium.   

 Since seeing that I have been more interested in military aircraft.  And UFO's. I keep watching the shows on UFO's hoping that somebody got video of what I saw or something similar. My grandmother worked on project bluebook while in the air force. She would only tell us that and said that someday before she passed she may tell us what she saw during that time. She was never a believer that UFO's were aliens , so that told me more  than she ever did. I decided to read her diary after she passed to see if she had anything about UFO's in it. Well I will tell you, NEVER EVER read your grandmothers diary !!!  I stopped reading after a couple pages that felt like I was reading from one of my Dad's old  "letters to Penthouse magazine"   magazines.  Nothing about UFO's, but plenty of stuff that I would have preferred remained her secret!     

The column you are referring to was the Penthouse Forum. 

So I’m told. Let’s hear some granny confessions!😂

That movie scared the crap out of me!

My UFO story:
I think it was 2011, I saw the giant triangle UFO over northern Phoenix mid-day. It was flying (floating) directly overhead. Myself and my friend with me both saw it. I was driving and I pulled over to get a better look about a mile down the road and it was gone.

The thing was the size of a gymnasium. Floating/moving very slowly, maybe 1000 feet altitude. No sound. It looked exactly like this pic from google. I didn't know it had a name until now, the TR-3B Black Manta (Thanks, Sasquatch).

I've seen other odd things in the sky in AZ, but this was so close and I could see it in detail.

I've thankfully blocked them from my memory.   I just remember that right up until around 94 years old she was still doing her thing.  She  told my mother not to ever come by after a certain time without calling first because that was the time that she would be with her boyfriend.  Again, I have blocked the rest from my memory. 

My mother used to share things like that so that she could share the horror and mental images that she experienced.  And she would laugh at me as I did my best to block her out.  I really should have known better than to look at her diary.  My Mother and older sister "cleared" the house of any toys before I went there to help with renovations. 

 I do hope to be as healthy and active as she was if I live that long.   

One time when my Dad had to stay overnight in the hospital I was talking to him the next day and he was telling me he had a hard time sleeping . He said that the Dr.s and nurses were having an orgy in the room in the bed next to his behind the curtains with at least 1 patient . He said that a nurse  apologized to him for the noise and I forget what they told him they were doing. But he said the nurse apologized for the noise and said "I hope we didn't keep you awake".   As he was telling me the story , he said " I know they were not cleaning up, they were having an orgy!, and I could have gotten laid last night too but I didn't because I love your mother". 

  By that point he had had a stroke and was recovering but kept having setbacks and eventually passed away a year or 2 later. I was thinking about how  it could have been real. Who's gonna believe an older man who was recovering from a stroke VS the Nurses and Dr.s . He swore it happened.   They did go out of their way to let me know that they had to clean up a patient who was in the room beside him overnight though. The bed was empty by the time I got there. Who knows what really happened, I think its great that if it was all his imagination that he was still loyal to my Mom even in a situation like that. Or if it was real and he was , it helped me see how much he really loved my Mom.  

When I went with him to races or to the Cape cod canal to watch the boats , he pointed out women and would say " Check her out!, she's got an ass like your mother". Or whatever feature he noticed.  I was always telling him to just stop before he brought my mom into it.  Had so many  funny times with my Dad.   I wish I hadn't been doing stuff that stressed him out when I was younger, he let so much slide and really just liked to see me and my friends enjoy ourselves. And letting us be a little wild at our house allowed him to keep an eye on us and make sure we didn't get too crazy.  He never forgot what it was like to be a kid.         

Such awesome stories and thanks for sharing

I bet your dad was telling the truth! Lol

There IS intelligent, probably much more than dirtbike riders and humans 🤣, life out there.

If you do some reading about the stars and the universe, you'll realize it....like I did.

This was a famous case 31 years ago over west Texas/east New Mexico, involved friends of mine. Big John  is one of my riding buddies, and Gene died 20 years ago RIP. 

America West Airlines Flight 564 UFO Case – May 25, 1995 - The Black Vault Case Files

That said -- remember the UFO / "Iranian" drone freak-out in New Jersey in 2024?   🤣

9 of 10 photos I saw was of airliners lined up against the dusk sky into La Guardia and Newark airports. -- like this one. Airport at bottom left corner, aircraft lined up from the right. 

Totally understandable that TV-edumacated dummies who actually spend $$  to go see movies like "Transformers" and  "Antman and the Wasp", and who can't tell a Cessna from a fucken Space Shuttle,  would think this is an "Iraiian drone invasion" 🤣 🤣🤣 

Planes nowadays are lit up like Times Square for takeoff and landing at night The tail, and "winglets" on the wingtips, are lit up to show the company logo. Unsurprisngly, it's called LOGO LIGHTS. 

Landing lights are located in the wings and on the nose landing gear (the brightest) and some on the lower front fuselage. The right wingtip has a red position light, the left wing green, and the tail white.

Depending on the angle you view a lit-up aircraft at night, it can look "triangular" or "trapezoidal" or whatever your TV-addked imagination can come up with.  

Add in, what % of the population, especially in Joisey, are toked-up at any given time, and ithe hysteria ts understandable 🤣 

This was one of the "Iranian drones". Compare to the EMB-175 by day. Now imagine lights on all the corners, and there's your "UFO". 🤣 

Yah I tend to believe that there has to be other life out there. If it could happen and last so long here on earth it has to have happened in other places. We may not even be able to see it.  

Do ants know that its some kid screwing around when their anthill gets destroyed by a kid playing with Tonka trucks?  Or do they think its a natural disaster if they think about that stuff at all. 

And what about the bacteria living inside us, are we the equivalent to the solar system?   

If ants and bacteria are unaware of what's going on around them, the chances of the human race being just as clueless about what Alien life is and looks like is just as possible.   

After my near death experiences  I was reading about studies that have been done with people close to the end of their lives . And I've wondered if humans are just not aware of what really happens. When a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, did its buddies think that it died? Are they aware of the transformation they go through?  

I've driven at night throughout the entire US and parts of the great white north, I haven't seen jackshit. Frustrating to say the least. Hell once I drove for 6 hours without seeing another car, truck, motorcycle, skateboard, moped, semi, or freakin bus ... nuthin!!! I-94 goin east from near Billings for 6 freakin hours ... not a damn thing around. I wanted to see something ... ANYTHING!!!

any of them have mutant children later on?

Something I have always wondered.... If space aliens have the technology to come to earth and obviously want to do so undetected, why do they need bright lights? 

Years ago my father was the foreman for a model shop that did testing for the government . He had to go through some crazy background checks . He told me if you ever think you see an alien UFO ,it probably belongs to us . I 100 percent believe in alien existence, my thought onnthem coming here is this. If they have the technology to make it here ,they're going to treat us the same way i would treat a homeless guy writing his name on a wall with his own shit ,im looking the other way and passing right by.

you mean the homeless guy isn't just a target for paintball practice?

Who doesn't like bright lights?   Maybe some aliens are like the guy that plows his driveway once a year but has his truck lit up like a firetruck with every warning light known to man.  Not needed, but  why not? 

 "Hey look at me!! I came from many lightyears  away to stick something up your butt."

Good question though.   Almost like whatever the UFO's are , really want to be noticed  for some reason. There should be enough history of UFO reports not to look back through history and chart when  sightings increased and decreased and see if there were any other common things going on in the world at that time. 

Alien paintballs would sting i bet.

I’m pretty sure those bright lights on their spaceships are halogens. And not the shitty ones, either. Probably Sylvanias. They can afford it.

I fully believe that there is other life out there in the universe.  No concrete evidence, but it just makes no sense that we would be the only life in all of existence anywhere.  

I fully believe that people have seen things that they can't fully identify or explain using our current knowledge of technology or our notions of what should and shouldn't be possible or be in existence.  

I fully believe that Kevin fully believes what he is posting fully.

no concrete evidence, but what about cement evidence?

So.... how many of you guys have truly seen something??? And by something,  I specifically mean - more than a light in the sky.. by something I mean something you could actually see that wasn't anything normal like a plane or rocket... 

I've seen numerous strange lights... some at far distance that looked like a star, but moved in a different manner... and I've seen a couple bright lights closer up... bright enough to light up the ground briefly (day and night)... but were moving so fast all I could make out was a light... because I didn't get a clear look... I disregard them as real evidence... 

If you've honestly seen something clearly... like mx45 mentions above... please post below.... 

You're not the boss of us.
