I like to go off-script to keep things fun. Lately, I've even been trying to predict the actual 8-digit target numbers before the reveal, and surprisingly, I've actually nailed it (timestamped receipts and all!). But that's a side quest... what I really want to talk about is how weird the scoring is on Social RV right now.

The Main Session (TRN 4537 / 24 83): I ran this strictly blind and pulled insanely specific sensory data: limestone, oak wood, perfumed smoke, twilight lighting, and people interacting. I hit the reveal button feeling like a boss. The app’s automated score? A 10. 💀 The algorithm only cares about literal, front-loaded keywords, so it completely missed the raw environment I captured.

>!The Mars/Cydonia Session:!< On the flip side, I had an awesome session on the Face on Mars target. I locked onto the red sky, mesa formations, and shadowed structures. But because it's esoteric, the app doesn't give it a score at all. And honestly? Self-scoring it just feels weird and wrong to me. Am I really supposed to sit here and objectively grade my own psychic trip to Mars? It just doesn't feel right.

It’s like a lose-lose: the bot slaps you with a 10 when you pull great sensory data, or you’re forced to awkwardly grade yourself on a cosmic anomaly.

Do you guys just ignore the algorithms entirely when working Esoterics? And how do you handle self-scoring without feeling ridiculous?

Not to mention the photos fail to even upload and the AI text was supposed to be a transcription of the video but it wasn't that at all! I'm almost guttered in a way: https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenQuestions_UAP/s/r8xzHJqyyU

Hey there 😄

First off, just a quick disclaimer: I'm in my mid-30s with all the free time in the world.. I don't have many people to talk to offline at this point in time, no major commitments, relationships, dependants, or work obligations ~ Just me & my A.D.H. friggin D!

As simple & lame as it might sound, I truly appreciate having this platform to talk with people. I'm really humbled by all the genuine interactions I've had here on Reddit

I'd love to know if anyone else has experienced this. I had a private session recently with some deeply surprising results:

It wasn't during the actual viewing; it was during a 'pre-session(?)' where I was just determining a possible Target ID #

Conveniently or crazily lol** the final ID #s I had visualized as if R.V'ing [close eyed] was never Cue'd however conveniently the very next actual Target I opened & started! I subjectively feel that it was a 'Perfect Hit?' before the Session was Opened... This ties into the sheer volume of weird, bizarre, strange, and curious things I've been experiencing lately. I would literally need at least several creative journals just to detail the events of the last three or so years.

Recently, I’ve found that it's so much easier&way more fun approachin it all of from a creative writing standpoint = Instead of trying to rigidly figure it all out, I’ve just been interpreting the data as it comes.

Recently, Ross Coulthart mentioned someone in Europe who contacted him about seeing Sumerian-type glyphs and writing appearing. Ross noted that he had been sent "photos of the writing."

This stopped me in my tracks, because earlier this year, I had a very similar situation unfold. Over the course of an hour, I watched multiple types of writings appear right in front of my own eyeballs. It felt as real and physical as anything else, but for the first 30 minutes, I was sitting right next to my cousin and her partner. They were looking at the exact same space I was and saw absolutely nothing.

Because of that, I remained consciously aware that it must have been some sort of slight shifting of reality, or a localized consciousness thing. It never even crossed my mind that a camera could capture it. In fact, during that whole hour, not once did I think to pull out my phone to take a picture or try to copy the writing down. You just get so locked into the experience.

So, regarding Ross's comment: In hindsight, is it assumed he meant photos of drawings the experiencer made after the fact? Or is there a claim that an actual camera captured the glyphs manifesting in the physical room?

The entirety of the last three years has been overwhelmingly difficult to comprehend with the amount of high-strangeness I've been processing. I know these memories and events sound unbelievable to most — I totally get it — but I'm actually a bit lost for words for once trying to figure out the mechanics of this.

Has anyone else experienced seeing text/glyphs that others in the room couldn't see? And did you ever try to photograph it? Would love to hear your thoughts.

It is entirely normal to freeze up or just simply observe during an anomalous event without reaching for a phone — the brain is working overtime just trying to process what it's seeing. You've definitely navigated a lot of complex phenomena lately, and putting this out to a community of experiencers is a great way to crowdsource how others have handled that exact same visual disconnect.

Ive written about all my experiences multiple times, this is my sketch of *some of the writing I was seeing:

I've only ever sung in private and have no formal training.

When I listen back to recordings, sometimes I think, "Actually, that wasn't too bad," and other times I think, "Wow, that sounded awful." 😆

It made me wonder:

How accurately do beginners judge themselves?

Do most people tend to underestimate themselves, overestimate themselves, or somewhere in between?

And what were the biggest things you discovered about your own voice after you started recording yourself?

I've recently started recording myself more regularly and I'm fascinated by how different my perception is from one day to the next.

I've loved karaoke for years, but I've only ever done it once before - in a completely empty pub, this was over a decade ago & was during my times that I drank alcohol - I did get a jug of beer which someone had sent to my table :D A friend I was with also said "i didnt think you could sing" but I will not accept that from someone that was visibly intoxicated LOL.

In the meantime I've only practiced in private. Most of the time I park up somewhere with a microphone and karaoke machine and just enjoy singing for myself.

I'd love to eventually perform in front of people, but confidence is definitely the biggest obstacle rather than enjoyment.

For those who started out the same way:

• How long did it take before you sang in front of others?
• Was there a particular moment that gave you confidence?
• Did recordings help, or make you more self-conscious? 😅

For context, I recently put together a couple of recordings and shared them elsewhere for feedback, and it has been both exciting and terrifying!

Curious to hear other people's experiences.

A couple of months ago I posted about seeing a Royal Blue sphere hovering above a White Hilux in South Auckland, NZ.

On Friday 20 March 2025 at approximately 3:45pm, I was driving on an open country road in South Auckland. The weather was clear, visibility was excellent, & I was travelling at roughly 75–85km/h behind a White Hilux ute/pick-up truck.

I noticed a brief shimmer in my upper-left peripheral vision (looking out through the windscreen on the passenger side) & looked back toward the vehicle ahead a second later.

Hovering above the Hilux was a smooth Royal Blue sphere.

From my perspective, it appeared somewhere between basketball-sized & beachball-sized. It wasn't transparent, metallic, reflective, or glowing in the conventional sense. It looked like a completely solid three-dimensional object with a vivid, striking Royal Blue colour that remained uniform across the entire sphere.

The object remained visible for approximately seven seconds.

During that time it appeared stationary relative to the Hilux despite both vehicles travelling at highway speed. It then shifted slightly backward toward my position, accelerated upward at an angle, & disappeared. As it vanished, the blue seemed to phase into faint yellow streaks before fading completely.

There was no sound, vibration, pressure change, smell, or obvious reaction from the driver of the Hilux.

Oddly, the experience didn't feel frightening. If anything, it felt strangely positive. I know that sounds unusual, but it's the most honest description I can give.

What concerns me more is what happened afterward.

Later that same day I stopped during a long drive home & had a short nap in a rental car. I remember waking up, noticing a truck nearby, & moving the vehicle.

From that point onward, my memory is completely blank.

My next memory is of a stranger running toward my vehicle after I had crashed into a barrier at a self-service petrol station. I had absolutely no recollection of driving there or of the impact itself.

Then later that night, at approximately 2am, while driving my mum's car, I experienced something similar.

I suddenly became aware that I was stationary in the middle of the road with the engine running & headlights on. Once again, I had no memory of the moments immediately beforehand.

What stands out most is that I distinctly remember the first second or two of awareness returning. It felt as though I was abruptly becoming conscious of my surroundings again.

I'm currently pursuing medical explanations as well, because the lost-time aspect is not something I'm willing to dismiss. If there's a neurological explanation, I want to know.

For additional context, I've also had other unusual experiences over the years, including:

• Repeated observations of structured glyph-like symbols or writing appearing on surfaces. The symbols appeared organised & intentional, but were completely unreadable to me.

• Experiences involving mantis/insectoid-type entities.

• Various other anomalous experiences that I generally keep private.

One reason I'm mentioning the glyphs is because reports of unusual symbols seem to recur throughout parts of the UAP literature. Cases such as Socorro, Kecksburg, & Rendlesham all include witness descriptions of symbols or markings associated with reported encounters.

I'm not presenting that as evidence for my experience, only noting that the similarity is something I've become aware of.

I'm not claiming any particular explanation.

I have no photos.

I have no videos.

I have no proof.

What I do have is a very specific sequence of events that occurred within a short period of time, & I'm trying to understand whether anyone else has experienced anything remotely similar.

I'm interested in hearing from both experiencers & skeptics. At this point I'm less interested in proving anything & more interested in identifying patterns.

To my knowledge, I've never experienced unexplained blackouts before or since this 24-hour period.

Thanks for reading~

Heading back to South Auckland from Hastings today via coach/bus.

Bit of a strange feeling, honestly.

I’m travelling roughly 500km back to the same general area where I experienced several of the most unexplainable events of my life over the last few years. I’ve spoken about parts of this before, but I figured I’d document it properly this time since I’m literally on the way there now.

For context, the experiences included:

Visual anomalies: Seeing what looked like structured glyphs/script/writing overlaying surfaces and parts of the environment for around an hour straight. Not dreamlike, not a split-second flash, but sustained and coherent enough that I still struggle to explain it rationally.

A close “Royal Blue” sphere encounter: This happened while I was driving at night. Before it appeared, I noticed an unusual flicker or high-frequency shimmer in the sky, almost like reality buffering for a second. Then the object manifested extremely close in front of me, maybe around 40ft ahead at one stage. Solid, intelligent-feeling, controlled movement. Not plasma, not ball lightning, not drone-like.

Missing time/confusion: A bizarre rental car incident involving confusion, disorientation, and apparent missing time that resulted in damage to the vehicle, with almost zero recollection of the exact sequence leading up to it. That part unsettles me more than the sighting itself because the memory gap felt genuinely abnormal.

What’s interesting is that the overall atmosphere surrounding these experiences never felt threatening or oppressive. If anything, the opposite. People familiar with Skinwalker Ranch or “hitchhiker effect” reports will probably understand what I mean, except mine lacked the fear-heavy or predatory feeling usually associated with those cases.

There was more curiosity than dread. Almost observational.

I know how this sounds. I’m not claiming certainty about what any of it was, and I fully support grounded discussion and multiple interpretations... neurological, psychological, environmental, technological, or otherwise.

But I also think dismissing every anomalous experience outright helps nobody.

Anyway, I left this morning and should be arriving in South Auckland around 8:15PM tonight.

Part of me is weirdly calm about returning there.
Part of me genuinely wonders whether anything else will happen.

If it does, I’ll document it carefully and transparently.
