Sun rays across the entire sky

This one was so cool! It was sunrise when I took this video. The sun is actually on the right of me, but you almost can't even tell. I've never seen it stretch across the entire sky like that before.

Object off Alabama Coastline - August 2008 PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION

This is my 12th post of something unexplained. Just to be very clear, this is a repost from another subreddit. It was removed after 13hrs. It ended up getting 107k views, 152 upvotes at 72% ratio, and 32 shares. They removed it for 2 reasons; low effort, and I didn't put the location, date, time in the description. General consensus was it was a bird. Most comments would just say that "bird", or "seagull" and that's it. If I tried to say anything back, I would get downvoted into oblivion. There was no discourse. There was no discussion. It's a bird and that's it. Well, if you couldn't tell already, I disagree with that very much lol and that's why I'm here reposting this. I really hope that people here are more open, so please read my reasonings before jumping to any conclusions.

Ok, let's start with the basics. Here is the metadata for the photograph:

Location: Gulf Shores, Alabama

Date: August 7, 2008

Time: 2:35pm

Camera: Sony DSC-T20

ISO: 100

Exposure: 1/640 sec

Aperture: f/9

Focal Length: 11.7mm

Resolution: 3264 × 2176 at 72 dpi

I was sitting on the beach and I could see the helicopter coming down. I waited until it was in front of us and took this picture. It wasn't until much later when I transferred the pics onto my pc that I saw the object. I was of course taken aback... I mean I accidentally caught something else in the picture. At first, I thought "it's a jet" but then I was like.... no, I don't remember seeing or hearing a jet at all, and if I had then I would've taken lots of pictures of a jet flying around out over the ocean. I mean we had the entire horizon in front of us! lol At no point did I ever think "that's just a bird" and move on. So, here goes all my reasons why I believe this object is not a bird.

1)it's not a bird

2)see #1

lol ok ok all jokes aside... here are my actual reasons:

Let's start with a control; the helicopter. And I have to preface this by saying that I did use ChatGPT to help with math stuff and analyzing pixels and stuff like that. In no way shape or form was anything changed or manipulated in anyway by AI. Ok, I looked up what type of helicopter it was and it appears to be a Bell 206 family at roughly 40 ft long. I am estimating that it is about 100 yards offshore. That both a visual guess and recollection of the moment. So, that's gives us a baseline to work with.

Let's say the object is a bird, and its wingspan is about 3 ft-ish, that's about what a seagull would be. That would put the object around 45 yards away and given the amount of detail the picture has for the helicopter, we should see some type of detail on the object to indicate it is a bird. i.e. a beak, legs, some wings, anything, but there isn't. Even the silhouette doesn't match a bird, unless it is flying directly at the camera. But, again, there are no distinguishable features that it is a bird.

Somebody had commented saying it is a profile of a bird diving into the water 100%... I had simply said that the silhouette had too much symmetry to be the profile of a bird, especially one diving into the water. Nobody cared for that explanation lol Then you could say that the bird is moving too fast for there to be any detail. I would say that the rotors to the helicopter are moving faster and we can see them just fine. So, the bird is too far away for there to be details on it. Well then that is the largest bird in the world to be seen that far away.

Last piece of evidence I have is I had GPT analyze and compare other pictures I had taken on the trip that also have birds in them. This was to compare pixel count and distance to show what birds actually look like with pictures taken with the same equipment. It pretty clearly shows details with the birds. "After going through the photograph, the geometry, the same-trip bird comparisons, and the different possible orientations with ChatGPT, its subjective assessment ended up at roughly a 6% chance that the object is a bird. That's not a scientifically calculated probability or an image-classification result—just its overall assessment after considering everything we compared."(ChatGPT actually wrote that part for itself when I had it proofread lol) Me, I'm more like .01% chance lol

Another idea was a frisbee. I had given that idea some thought way back in the day, but the object appears too high up and too far away for that. I mean, I'm arguing it's a UFO, so I guess anything is possible, but not a bird lol

Since I didn't actually see the object and only discovered it later in the photograph, I can't honestly tell you how fast it was moving, what direction it was traveling, or whether it displayed any unusual acceleration or maneuvering. I also don't remember seeing or hearing anything other than the helicopter and normal beach noises at the time. All I can say for certain is that the object appears in the photograph even though I never noticed it while taking the picture.

Anyways, I hope y'all made it this far and really appreciate it if you did. Hope all is well for everybody and taker easy!

iPhone and Charger

This is my 9th post of my own personal paranormal/unexplainable event. This happened back in 2019ish. Don't remember the exact month, there were lots of other things going on back then. So, again, this is 100% true, put that on my cats life. Plus, there was a witness to the event. It was my friend Chris who saw it, RIP buddy.

So, Chris was a good friend and a one legged man in a wheelchair. He absolutely loved his iPhone and all the messaging apps he put on it. Not knocking it, just pointing it out because it really drained his battery. Plus, when he would set it down or plug it in for recharging he would keep an eye on it for the screen to light up. One day him and another friend were over playing some video games.

Ok, here's what happened. I was sitting on the couch, he was in his chair rolling around the room, and our other friend, Sarah, was sitting in an oversized chair next to the couch on the right. Chris had rolled over to me and plugged his phone into the charger on my left and set it on the arm of the couch. This was about a foot to my left. He then rolled out to the center of the room, turned his chair around to face his phone. Then out of nowhere, the phone leapt off the arm of the couch about a foot and a half, but because it was plugged in, the cable caught it and pulled it back and smacked my acoustic guitar that was leaned up on an end table next to the couch. It was loud enough that Sarah sat up and asked what we were doing over there... I just looked at him because to me something like that isn't out of the ordinary, but for him it was very much out of the ordinary. He flipped out and just started yelling "OMG OMG WTF??!!" He said he'd never seen anything like that before and he finally believes me in all the things I've been telling him lol I wish he was here for many reasons, but for this, it's because I know he would have my back.

What's different about this event though is that it didn't just happen to me, it happened right in front of another person. Yes Sarah was there and heard the guitar being hit, but she didn't see it, just me and Chris. Plus, it happened to his property, not mine. Sure, we were inside my house, but that shouldn't really matter. This was a small event like a lot of them that happen to me. Taken one at a time, they aren't much, but added together there is something else going on. Anyways, thanks again for reading.

The Smoke Ring

This is my 8th post of my own personal paranormal/unexplainable event. This is a true story, and there was a witness this time. Again, I promise everything said here is 100% factual. I put it on my cat's life, who is doing very well for those that care.

This happened back around 2009 when I was living with a few people on Fairpark Blvd in Little Rock. For those that don't know, which is probably a lot of you, Fairpark is a simple 2 lane straight residential street going from the zoo area to the university in Little Rock. It's very pretty because it has some light rolling hills and massive oak trees lining it. Very pretty drive during fall time.

So, one night me and one of my roommates were sitting on the front porch smoking a cigarette. It was about 10:30pm and it was pouring down rain, lighting, and thunder. He was looking at his phone, a BlackBerry so super fancy for the time lol, and I was actually just looking at a broken branch from the giant oak whose trunk was just a few feet from the porch. The branch was in front of the streetlight, which was right here on the property line so only maybe 40ft away, tops. It just made a really cool looking contrast with the rain, which because of the amount of tree branches hanging over, really wasn't too bad.

Anyways... as I was sitting there looking at this branch, all of a sudden smoke spiraled around the branch and poofed into a smoke ring. I immediately jumped up and started hitting my roommate on the arm yelling "smoke ring smoke ring!!" He stood up and is like what??... I pointed and said "look at the light and go left.. look at the light and go left!" Then, he saw it too. He just said, "oh yeah... huh". For the next 10-15 seconds we just both stood there watching this smoke ring float down the middle of the road, about 15 feet off the ground, gradually getting bigger and bigger, about a foot around to about 5 feet around, all while slowly being hit with raindrops until it dissipated back into nothing. At no point did the thought of taking a picture or anything occur, we were both just dumbfounded really.

Afterwards he looked at me and asked, "where did that come from?" I just looked at him and just was like kinda laughing a little and said "the tree branch blew it..." He looked at me like I was crazy and didn't say anything. I was like "no for real! That branch right there" pointed at it "the smoke spiraled around it and blew a smoke ring!" Again he just kept looking at me like I was crazy or something. We didn't talk about it for years, but then I asked him if he remembered that. He didn't want to admit it, so all he said was "something like that would never happen again in a million years." Good enough for me really. Best explanation I can come up with was that somehow our cigarette smoke went off the porch, around the tree trunk, and then found its way to the branch I was looking at and spiraled out into a smoke ring. Pretty wild.

True Encounter with a Being - 100% REAL

This is my 6th post of my own personal paranormal/unexplainable event. This one is going to be just a story. No evidence or witnesses. I know for those that will reads this, by the time you get to the end, you aren't going to believe me. I get it, trust me. This one in particular is tough to wrap your head around, but trust me it's true. I promise, not on my life, but on my cats life it's true. I just spent $1000 on her to remove tumors from inside her skull that were pushing her eye out, so we removed that as well. She has a heart condition and fainting spells. She's only 6 years old and I'll do anything to make sure she has a good long life. So, when I say I put it on her life that I'm telling the truth, well believe me I am telling the truth. All the details are important.

This happened back in Aug 2012. My parents left for the weekend for their anniversary and asked me to come over that Saturday and let their 2 little Maltese dogs out the garage and put them inside the laundry room after they run around and play. They live in a neighborhood where the streetlights aren't like normal streetlights, they are more like lanterns on a 15ft tall metal pole. So, omnidirectional light. The closet streetlight to where I was, was on the far side property line of their neighbors, so a little less than 150ft away. Their street goes downhill and curves to the right as it slopes, they live on the left side of the road looking down the hill. I ended up going over there around 9:30 pm and let them out into the front yard.

I walk out towards the mailbox and am standing in the driveway facing down the street and light up a cigarette. As I'm standing there I see this large white round globe-ish looking thing move up and then back down. I saw it out the corner of my eye. It was in kind of behind some bushes on the far side of they neighbors property, about 15ft to the left of the street light, so about 140ish ft from me. Now, I'm focused on this because I wasn't sure whether I did see it move or not. It was about a foot and half wide and 2 foot tall, so decent sized. Then it did move again, up and back down. It wasn't completely behind the bushes though so I got a good look at it, but I didn't know what it was. For the next 5 minutes I just stood there watching as it would go up, down, a little left, right... just kind of move all over, but stayed generally in that same spot. I thought it was the neighbor putting up a balloon, but I didn't see them and it didn't taper at the bottom. I thought they were putting in one of those glass watering globe things, but again I didn't see a person, and it didn't taper at the bottom. I had no clue what I was looking at.

Eventually a SUV, suburban type vehicle came driving down the street. Because of the downhill slope and the curve I knew their headlights were going to shine directly on this thing, and I was right. I was looking right at it when it moved to my left, it's right like it knew the lights were going to shine on it also. That's when I saw its right hand come down, bracing its body. The lights briefly shined on it; I saw the outline of its body. This thing was big. The suv passed, and it went right back to what it was doing before, just moving around in the bushes. That's when it hit me... this thing I've been looking at for the last 5 minutes was somethings head. It's been facing me the whole time, but it doesn't have a face. Now to say I was scared would be and understatement. I'm a veteran. I was a .50 cal gunner on convoy teams in Iraq, and that was nothing compared to how terrified I was in that moment. To me, I was having a true encounter with a real life alien. What else could it be?? I was frozen with my mind racing about how I can get abducted... they house is unlocked and the dogs are outside... what do I do??

It took me a few more minutes just frozen watching this thing move around before I gathered myself. (Side note: looking back on it, it didn't see me. It was moving around like that because it was watching the 2 little white Maltese running around in the front yard) I reached in my pocket and pulled out my phone. Now, even though it was 2012, I didn't have a smartphone yet. I had a Sony Walkman phone that had like a 2mp camera on it. Ok so all this happened very quickly; I took a picture, there was nothing there because of it being night, the distance, the crappy camera, and me just shaking because I was terrified, the camera made the shutter noise at full volume when the pic was taken, I deleted the picture (yes, my mind was racing too fast to think about much), put the phone back in my pocket, looked up and there he was already halfway through the neighbor's yard coming straight towards me. He was about 8ft tall, big, huge white faceless head, wearing an oversized black trenchcoat (oversized like there was something under it on his back/shoulders), black suit and tie, long skinny arms and legs. Again, to me at the time, alien! I immediately go "Dogs dogs inside now inside!!" and start clapping my hands as I'm turned to my right very quickly heading into the garage, all while I keep looking at him getting closer. One of the times I looked I didn't see him, I don't know if that because there was a tree in the way or what, but I didn't see him when I looked again. I made my way inside with the dogs, they were just as happy as even with no clue what was happening, ran around to the front of the house to look out the windows facing the front yard. Nothing... he was gone. I stayed in the house for about 15 minutes, because I had to get home to my own pet. I made sure everything was good inside before I took that deep breath to step out to my car. I knew I needed to get home, but I was ready to be taken up to the spaceship. I pulled my car to the end of the driveway, turned it off and sat there for about 10 sec before I turned it back on and left.

I told my dad about it the next day and he asked why I didn't call the cops. I said what am I going to tell them?? There's this guy out here wearing a trenchcoat and a suit without a face?? He said yeah that wouldn't have gone over too well and don't tell your mom about this. Now I know what everybody is thinking, Slenderman. This story can't be real because Slenderman is made up... well what did I encounter then? I know it was first introduced in 2009 (edit), but I didn't know what a Slenderman was until years later when those 2 girls tried to off their friend for Slenderman. I know what I saw and I will never forget how unbelievably petrified I was in that moment. To this day, even knowing now what I saw, when I go to my parents house to visit, I will stand out in that spot at night and wait. Scares the shit out of me still.

Caught her hiding something .?.

This is my 5th post of my own personal paranormal/unexplainable event.

Ok so I'm not sure where to put this or even what to qualify this as. I was driving down the road and saw a face in the clouds so I took these pictures. Didn't think much of it till months later when I went back to look at the pictures and noticed what else I took pictures of. The last picture is just the brightness and contrast adjusted.

I'm just going to go ahead and make up a story to what is going on lol Let's say there is a mother in the sky and her 3 kids got out. She shoots out in the sky and grabs a cloud to try and cover them up. Even the little cave creature that they escaped from is trying to get them back in. All while their father is just staring me down when I'm taking the pictures. Guess I wasn't supposed to see that.

I don't know lol.... if y'all wanna add to it, then feel free! Hope you all find this just as interesting and weird as I do.

Beer Can Moving

This is my 4th post of my own personal paranormal/unexplainable event. Well, I was sitting there and looked down and saw the can moving. Full disclosure, there is a ceiling fan going, but it's doubtful that's what's causing the movement. It's too random, there's no condensation under the can, nothing else is moving. I did run it through some ai programs to see if the fan could be doing it, and the programs said no, so idk.

Unknown Sky Sound

Me and my buddy were on my back porch at around 2:30am talking about some old story that I wanted to get documented, that's why there was a recording. The sound came from straight above us in the sky, which made us duck in response, and then it echoed all around us. It's only an audio recording, and this is just a snip of the recording. To answer questions ahead of time, NO we were not near an interstate, trucking or shipping lanes, an industrial park, railroad tracks, an aquarium that has whales, or anything even close to any of those things. Any thoughts? My buddy said it sounded like Megotron took a sh!t. I said it sounds like, if we live in a glass globe (which we don't), then some cosmic being scratched the globe right above us with a needle. Most likely, it was some space debris that skimmed the atmosphere right above us, but I don't know.

Big Texan Hotel Experience

Well, I stayed in a room there a while back, just me and my cat. The lights in the bathroom started turning on and off very randomly, so I busted out my guitar and started singing an impromptu song to the ghost. Let me know what y'all think.
