    Now that is a distinct possibility. & very rational explanation.

    The UFO was going across the sky pretty quickly. I was in my truck at night. Probably around 8 pm. It went across the sky, stopped and the light got really big. The light then shrunk and disappeared. Not saying it was aliens, of course. Just something that I couldn't explain.

    My ghost story is more concrete, and I'm a guy that didn't believe in ghosts before this.

    I had just turned 18. I had just graduated high school, and was wondering what I should do going forward. My parents had just built a new house on land that had never been occupied that my grandma inherited years ago.

    My room was in the basement. Awesome furnished basement. My bedroom was off of the rec room. Big TV, Foosball table that cost around $800, pool table, ping pong.. I was living the life before I had to move out and make something of myself.

    It was around 7pm, and still plenty of daylight out. There were french doors that led outside. I went downstairs to get something out of my room. When I was heading back toward the stairs, I saw him. He was in his dress uniform. He was obviously Army. He was decorated with a lot of ribbons and medals. He had sword sheathed, and had a gray beard. He was obviously WWII era. I looked at him, he looked at me and took a step forward. I was frozen. Maybe it was fear, maybe it was shear shock that had me frozen. He then went to raise his hand, and at that moment I bolted up the stairs. I didn't tell anyone what I saw for a long time.

    The first person I decided to tell was my grandma. She then tells me that about 30 yards into the trees where our yard ended, there was a very small graveyard. There was a plane crash at that spot during WWII, and they out up the headstones of those deceased. I walked back there, and sure enough I found the grave site.

    3 days after this happened, I went and joined the military. Something I hadn't even pondered before. I don't think ghosts are hostile. I think this one helped me figure out what I wanted to do.

    Call me crazy, I don't care. I know my life would likely be much different if I had never seen him.

    That's nothing short of incredible. I'm definitely glad you shared.

  • A lot of astronauts believe and have had encounters such as Buzz Aldrin Edgar Mitchell and Gordon Cooper. Countries in Europe have decided to disclose their information. It's unbelievable how much some people know and don't share. I think sometime within in 20 years it will just be public knowledge.

  • Saw a fireball in the sky and reported it to the American Meteorological Society. A few other people spotted it in the area and confirmed my sighting.

    Pretty awesome event to witness.

    Pretty cool story. I'm like you. I spent the better part of my life not believing in ghosts. I completely dismissed the idea.
    Then I had a few experiences that have changed my views. I still don't exactly know what to believe, but I'm very open to the possibility. My experiences happened over the course of a few years, all at the same hotel I sometimes travel to for business. In St. Petersburg, FL there is a hotel called the Vinoy. It's an older hotel that is said to be haunted. Visiting baseball teams stay there a lot and I've read numerous articles from players recounting their experiences.
    As for me, I knew nothing of the hotels history nor the claims of it being haunted when I first started staying there.
    But I had several things happen that are odd. Namely, lamps/lights turning on out of the blue. I've had that happen both while I was asleep as well as wide awake watching TV. The lamp next to the bed turns on and I mean you get that audible "click" from the switch turning.
    Once, I'm sitting in the bed watching the Red Sox/Rockies in the World Series and I hear noises in the bathroom, like somebody is moving around in there bumping into stuff. I'm thinking maybe the maid keyed into the room to do a turndown service or something so I get up to see what is going on (you can't see the bathroom from the main part of the room). As soon as I get up, I hear the "click" of the bathroom light turning on and I go in there and there is nothing there. Weird, I thought, but didn't give it a second thought.
    It was shortly after that when I was talking to some other guys I work with that also stayed there and they mentioned it being haunted and how they've had lamps turning on and off, the same stuff I had happen.
    Well, the next time I stayed there was when it got a little weird. I went to bed and I'd always leave the bathroom light on and the door cracked because if you travel for business you know what it's like to wake up in the dark and not remember where you are and then bang into something as you stumble across the room!
    Well at some point I hear noises in the bathroom and I wake up. I'm looking over to where the light is coming out of the bathroom (remember, I can't see the actual door from the bed, just the lights and shadows). Well as I'm looking over there, fully awake, I see the light and shadow from the door get bigger because you can tell the door just opened all the way up...and then it closes. I sat there for about 5 minutes but this time I decided to just let it be. Had no interest in checking it out. I eventually went back to sleep. Some time later I woke up again because I felt something bump into the bed. Now maybe I dreamed that part. Could well be but it woke me up and I'm sitting there, looking around the room when I feel, as plain as day, what felt like two fingers brush across my left ankle/leg. It was almost like somebody walked by the bed and just ran their hand along my ankle and leg. Well that got me up fast. I turned on the lights and ripped the covers off looking for a bug or anything that could have done that but didn't find anything. I've stayed there many times since and I haven't had anything else happen but that night was enough to open my mind!
    My dad stayed there one time and said he woke up the next morning and went to brush his teeth and found all of the shampoo, conditioner, lotions, etc that the hotel provides all dumped out onto the counter in the bathroom.
    So, there's my ghost story contribution.
