I find this an interesting story and really enjoyed watching this documentary where Darryl Anka shares his story of his connection with Bashar which he has been channeling since 1983 so almost 42/43 years now.

He talks about how he had two UFO encounters both with friends/witnesses. He talks about investigating what channeling is, not thinking he would become a channeler himself connecting to Bashar when he was there.

He, Darryl Anka, talks about having various dream encounters with Bashar in the Jeff Mara podcast.

And even now he is still going strong, doing lots of interview with all kinds of people. You can find many online if people are curious.

One of the most remarkable things is that he shares that 2026 is the year of disclosure and 2027 is the year of disclosure. If people are curious about this I can really recommend his podcast with Acid for Squares #10.

Darryl Anka is very clear over that he can't prove that Bashar is real. But that he keeps on channeling because he feels and sees that the information that is coming through is helping people.

A strange thing is though that Andrew Bayuk shortly channeled Elan from the same species as Bashar and the energy coming through there is strangely similar. There is a YouTube Channel called Elan interactions.

Personally I don't feel like I need to believe Darryl Anka, or that I need to believe Bashar. But I can simply listen to the information coming through, use my own critical thinking and my own discernment and just take the info as it is without necessarily reaching a conclusion about it.

I must admit I am pretty excited though for this prediction of 2027 as the year of contact.
But also there I am like okay, interesting we will see if something happens or if it doesn't.

I am curious to hear if there are other people that like to listen to Darryl Anka and Bashar.

i'm a bit new to this, so excuse me if i'm asking something well known to this community.

how do you welcome communication when it feels like your conscious is blocking it?

i had an experience with a UFO about 12 years ago, with a missing chunk of time. i told people close to me, but for the most part, i just moved on and went on with my life.

now, something about the experience is burning in my head 12 years later, out of nowhere, and i feel like there's a reason. i cant let it go and i cant stop thinking about it. why 12 years later?

i have dreams where it feels like i'm close to something, but then i think i pull myself back. i have a recurring dream where i'm flying to "the end of the world", but then i turn around, and check into a "bus station" place, and ask to go home. another recurring dream i have is being stuck in a black abyss, but i always start freaking out and beg to go back. i always feel like i'm being watched in the black abyss. (who am i asking and who is watching?)

it's not conscious control, and i only remember these things after i wake up. i haven't been able to lucid dream since a very young age.

i strongly feel like someone somewhere is trying to tell me or show me something. i dont know why i feel this way, but i do, and i cant shake the feeling. i think i'm consciously welcoming it, but at the same time, i feel there's some kind of "block".

wondering how people overcome this hurdle.

Hey guys, I am posting a recent experience my friend shared with me. And I wish to help them understand what they experienced.

Here's their words:

Here is your exact text formatted with clear headings, shorter paragraphs, and bullet points to make it much easier to read. Not a single word or detail has been changed.

🌌 Part 1: The State of Mind & Intent

Before sleep, I was in a state of questioning everything and I was fed up with everything, not in a bad I want to end my life way, but, I want to know the truth. And I decided to know so, even with limiting beliefs I decided they wont affect me and that even with them I can still achieve what I wanted. " truth".

I eventually flopped into my bed and decided I was astral projecting to see the truth my self, and I could not sit in the discomfort that my body gave me. And finally I flopped to my side and slept still intending to have the truth.

👁️ Part 2: The Vision of the Creator & The Matrix

Many visions to me came of a god , who is the creator, it seemed he was the architect of the world we are living in and I saw my self seeing the truth like the matrix, that god showed me that we are truly in the matrix and actually are in living pods. I felt bad, real scared real hopeless that a thought appeared to me" being in the matrix is happier than knowing the truth".

But I kept asking the god who suddenly appeared angry at me and looked like a devil " truth" "truth" "truth" until it got so angry, it then showed me that we are truly as the Matrix movie is, before it got angry, it seemed like a loving god "The Creator" or many people call him the universe, it showed me that I was the truth and I can manifest everything I want.

And at that point a small yet strong thought that seemed like my inner voice said or more like it it came to me as a vision telepathically not definitely words but the idea translated into words can be said:

>"That people go out their body looking for the truth, they meet a being that tells them something good they want to hear, they want to hear they are in control of their life, and I give this to them they return to the matrix thinking they unlocked the secrets".

Then, I eventually fell asleep.

🛌 Part 3: Waking Fear & The Neighborhood Dream

Had this dream which I dont know if it is a dream or a steal experience but waking up from it I was scared and had a recurring theme of three little girls trying to kill and attack me:

I dreamt of being outside in my neighborhood but the part of the like open area nearby the white houses it was just like the awake world and then I was looking up the sky there was someone beside me on my left and like there was a plane it seemed like a toy to me but it was high in the sky and looked metal and it broke one of its part bombed and fire ejected into it and then another similar plane came nearby it was triangular military styled( both were) .

📐 Part 4: The All-Knowing Eye

Then suddenly in the sky the all knowing eye symbol appeared and like it was the sky was blue but the all knowing eye was blue too but slightly darker it had a human eye but not like a realistic 3d but it was like a drawing like and it was just scary I felt scared mostly shaken from it until now it was like it appeared and like a white beam of aura hit through the sky and the person I was standing with closed their eyes and accepted it it seemed like it was god to me, but then I hid behind the person to not see the beam or the eye it was idk I felt shaken and I didn’t feel good about it. the person and the eye symbol was on my left side.

That was a highly intense, heavy experience to go through right before and during sleep. If you want, we can break down the symbols like the eye or the matrix theme, or we can look at ways to ground yourself so you feel less shaken. How would you like to process this?

Hello, friends. Do you believe humans could someday reach the status of AC?

I am in regular contact with a group of Higher Intelligences from the 5th, 7th and 9th D, the Council of Advanced Civilizations in Allegiance to the Light. They are assisting and inviting Humanity "back at the table" (which implies our past belonging and fallout).

It is my understanding that we are on the brink of an evolutionary leap. This is why everything is so messed up, obviously.

Have you ever given this any thought? Anyone here thinking about the Vision, a long term future?

I am aware that there are forces and energies in this world and reality that I can’t directly “see” or experience firsthand (at least not yet probably). And I know words like good and evil are subjective so I mean them in the most basic sense. Good - friendly, selfless, no harmful intent/impact. Bad - unfriendly, selfish, harmful intent/impact.

I’m assuming there are “battles” and other stuff happening behind the scenes that can basically affect the reality I experience firsthand. What if there was some kind of spiritual war(s) going on and if the forces of good win, would the people of Earth experience more calm and stability?

The reason I’m thinking about this at 3am is because I just had a dream. I don’t normally dream, but I dreamed our planet was invaded, but not in the way you would think. It was very sophisticated and it didn’t matter if someone was aware of it or not because our technology and power as a species didn’t come close to theirs. They did something to the effect of brainwashing, and though it appeared life was happening as normal, we were really being steered like cattle; we were being controlled.

Do you believe the forces of good outweigh the forces of evil? If something seriously bad were to threaten humanity like an alien invasion of minds would there be a protector(s)?

I had an experience tonight that I wanted to document while it’s still fresh in my mind and see what other people make of it.
I was outside intentionally trying to make some form of communication. I was focusing pretty heavily on it, almost like mentally sending out a signal or putting the intention out there that I was open to communication.
While doing this, I suddenly started feeling pressure on my head.
Around that same time, an image of a being came into my mind extremely clearly. She looked like what most people would probably describe as a gray, except she wasn’t completely gray. Her complexion was much lighter. She was bald, had very large blue eyes, and was wearing what looked like a sky-blue shirt.
The thing that sticks with me is her expression. She wasn’t emotionless or frightening. She was smiling slightly, and the best way I can describe it is a heartfelt smile.
I also immediately perceived her as female.
I don’t know why. There wasn’t anything where I consciously thought, “This is a woman.” I just somehow felt or knew that I was looking at a “her.”
I had ChatGPT generate an image afterward based on what I remembered seeing, which I’m including with this post. Obviously the image is only a reconstruction and not an actual photograph of what I saw.
Here’s where the experience got considerably stranger for me.
A few minutes later, while I was observing the night sky, I noticed an object/craft.
I could make out a dark silhouette against the night sky, and it appeared to have two distinct levels or layers to its structure. The placement of the lights also seemed unusual.
From my viewing angle, there appeared to be one light higher up that looked like it was protruding from the top, lights toward the outer corners/sides, and three lights underneath. The lights didn’t appear to simply line up along the lowest point of the object.
Most noticeably, I didn’t see any of the lights blinking.
I watched it moving across the sky, and the dark shape behind the lights was noticeable enough that it didn’t just look like a collection of independent points of light.
I had a second reconstruction made based on my description of the object, and I’m including that as well. Again, it’s just a visualization of my memory, not photographic evidence.
I’m deliberately not saying that the being I saw internally and the object I observed afterward were connected. I don’t know that.
It could have been coincidence. The first experience could have been imagery brought on by concentration or meditation, and the object afterward could have been a conventional aircraft viewed from an unusual angle.
But having those two experiences happen only minutes apart, immediately after I had specifically been attempting communication, definitely caught my attention.
Has anyone here experienced anything similar, particularly a sudden mental image or impression during meditation/contact attempts followed shortly afterward by an unusual aerial observation?
I’m especially interested in hearing from people who’ve experienced the pressure sensation or unexpectedly perceived a being with very specific features, personality, or gender without consciously deciding those details themselves.

To give context: I was dating a Girl, and the two dates we had were great. We wrote every day until she left for work oversees and ghosted me. That hurt a lot so I decided to untangle my bad feelings via meditation.

As I went through all my feelings I came to a point where i realised that all the negative feelings are still baseline love. At this very moment i began to see vivd waves of Magenta-Shade-Color and a feeling of Love throughout my whole body with goosebumps and tears running down my cheeks. A profound feeling of Love so to say. Wonderful Experience.

I ended the Meditation because I had to pee. After it, I had Visions which felt like I had this Magenta color inside of me, surrounding my heart. My thoughts at this moment were: "My guidance is Love". As I placed my Hand on my chest a word came to my Mind and I said it out loud. "Ah-Sharam".

Didn't know what it ment so i searched it up. First I just found posts about a Game I played years ago "Ash Aram builds League of Legends" because i litterally typed it in as I spoke it. After some research I found out that this is the correct pronounciation of the word "Ashram" from sanskrit. It means Monestary, place of spiritual learning so to say.

And it hit me so hard: Love is my Monestary.

Just wanted to share.

Peace and Love to all ✌️

So I got tricked really good but was mad at the time. But I just kinda laughed about it. So a year ago I did a out of body an after I came out I was able to hear an feel a spirit an it was able to let me see it not in person but in my head and when I started to realize what was going on like a lil faint movie in my head but it was me in my condo sitting in bed and there next to me was this person lol goofy lanky skinny but blurry spirit. I laughed out loud when it smiled because I just realized what was happening and it knew it and I began talking out loud and it in a mili second it explained I didn't need to do that but as we keep talking I would get excited and start laughing then start speaking out loud again and would have to go back to not speaking out loud this went on till I got to the question ( CAN YOU HELP ME WIN THE LOTTERY!!) so I wanna say that I was very convinced after I got this spirit to make the lights go on and off and even make me get cold chills a few times so I was like ok he mite be able to work sum number generations magic ✨ on the lottery and he explained it like he could so I drove down to the store and was pumped and it was crazy cuz when I was driving I was able to see myself with him there in a different way cuz I was driving but I looked like I did thru his eyes and there was a light coming out of my head and a ring that goes around my head also: after these experiences I wanna add my head always hurts after behind my ears and the back of my head the muscles feel like they have been lifting weights lol cuz there like sore.. but long story short he didn't do it and said he wasn't able to resist cuz I was able to hear him so well but yes it was not going to help me do that or it wasn't actually able to. Lessons learned the other popular one is the one when they try to say there God and make u think ur talking to God I can say that certainly they fell different the one thing I can say is the one that are not lower vibration likes this joker was the signals when I tap in go from the bottom of the back of my skull and only go up a little bit like the lower station on a radio but when it's NO and it's something else it goes WAY UP ALL THE WAY TO THE VERY VERY TIPPY TIPPY TOP AND WILL KINDA MAKE A CIRCLE U CAN FELL IT those r the ones u hope for and aim to take the most advice from. I say it like that the very very very tippy top because it's strange. It feels like a small space between the bottom of your skull to the very top, but when these signals come in wow, it feels like they really travel. You know so and there's a huge difference in that distance from those little tiny low vibrations in the back like you know on the lower stations. Not even past like the you know mid-90s like mid-90s. Anyway thanks for reading guys. Hope u enjoyed reading

I already know they are here, and I think they know I know. I think they could abduct me any time, but they don’t. Probably they try to calm me down, because they know im scared and they don’t want to damage me mentally even more.
They would sometimes show me signs that theyre here and one time I had a feeling I told them something through my thought, but I didn’t hear them back, I told them to do something to confirm that they are there and they did it.
Is this something that usually happens before abduction?

Hello everyone! I've been reading a lot of these posts, and I believe you're experiencing something that 80-90% of the world — myself included — hasn't experienced. I don't know if that's good or bad. Time will tell.

One thing I keep coming back to: I've never seen anyone mention curing diseases, either in "this reality" or in our world — things like AIDS or cancer. For some reason, that strikes me as odd.

People talk about contact with entities, aliens, whatever you want to call them, but no one ever brings up this subject. Don't they care? Is it just too boring for them?

Everyone talks about a "second Earth" or some other world, but what about this one? Don't get me wrong, I'm as tired of this world as the next person — but what about the 80% of us who haven't had any of these experiences? Are we just supposed to rot here?

Will these diseases ever disappear? What about kids born with leukemia?

I don't know. I guess I just needed to get this off my chest, since I don't really understand any of it.

If you look at the Edgar Cayce work in a casual manner, it doesn't seem to mention ET's much, but if you dig deeper and use holistic logic to put 2 and 2 together, things start to get very interesting. But who cares what Edgar Cayce may or may not have said, you might say, after all, he was so early 20th century. I've been researching metaphysical, spiritual, psychic, etc topics for over 3 decades now, and I've looked at MANY different psychics here and there, and I've come to consider that Cayce's Readings are in a league of their own in two very important ways. The amount of verification in many different subjects, and just how vast it was. As to the latter, it was that way, because he gave these readings for nearly 4 decades and had thousands of people ask him many different questions in that time, though he was primarily a medical intuitive.

Eventually, Cayce started to give what some call "Life Readings". This is where he would phase to the akashic records and look at a combo of their astrological indications and other life influences, especially as to karmic patterns and lives that most influenced their present personality and character.

In Edgar's own Life Readings for himself, a very interesting life and personality is talked about. This person was named Ra Ta, born around Turkiye around 10, 650 B.C. or so, and then later emigrated to Egypt and became the high priest of Egypt. There is all kinds of high strangeness around this account, starting with his unusual birth and body mutations.

Cayce's source says that Ra Ta's mother, hadn't had sex with a human father when she became pregnant with Ra Ta: "The entity chose rather the peoples that were to enter in the land, and was the son of a daughter of Zu that was not begotten of man..."  Excerpted from reading 294-147.

In another reading, it says, "For with the entering in of Hermes with Ra..." it continues later to say, "there was brought the idea of the preservation of these, not only for those in the present but for the generations that were to come in the experiences and experiences throughout that period, until the changes were to come again in the earth's position that would make for, as it had in this inundation that brought about Ra Ta's coming in the experience from the gods in the Caspian and the Caucasian mountains* [StarBornFire's comment--where he was initially born], that had brought this change in the peoples..." Excerpted from reading 294-151. *-my use of bold and italics.

Then, the readings talk about multiple times, that Ra Ta was very unusual looking at the time. He had blue eyes and fairer skin. If you know about anthropology and genetics, you will know that 12k+ years ago, blue eyes was not yet a thing (mutation) among Caucasians. Cayce's source literally said that Ra Ta was the first more Euro type white (vs say Middle Eastern Caucasian types with brown eye, brown hair, more tan skin) in the Earth at the time.

Hmmm, did not have a human father, the "gods" brought about his conception or "coming in", and he had clear/overt unusual mutations. It couldn't sound anymore like an ET project.

Probably not related to his body's mutations, but Ra Ta was unusually psychic-intuitive for his time, at a time it was said that humans were more psychic-intuitive than they tend to be now (though that is clearly changing rapidly as time goes on).

Then, when Ra Ta was finished with his earthly work (and frankly was getting tired of his fellow humans...word), Cayce's source did not say that he died, but used the very unusual verbiage of, "he ascended to the mount and was borne away." To be "borne away" is like being "carried away." Sounds to me like he got "Elijahed"! Or, ET in human body "phone home" (get me dafook out of here, I can't take it anymore!).

It's amazing to me how nobody else (that I know of) has put this all together like this to realize that Ra Ta's conception/birth had been an ET project., and Ra Ta as both a soul and human personality was likely very ET connected.

I was IRL friends with who many, including myself, consider the foremost biographer of Edgar Cayce, and who wrote the meticulously and thoroughly researched, "Edgar Cayce: An American Prophet". I brought this subject up to him one time (which I still have the emails of) and he seemed both confused and incredulous towards the whole thing and asked for clarification. So I shared the specific reading excerpts from the above two readings, and pointed out that he was also the first blue eyed and lighter skinned white/Caucasian person in the earth at that time (some of the Atlanteans had blue eyes and/or lighter features, but Cayce's source considered them a separate/different ethnicity and referred to them as the "red race").

On a side note, my meeting of and friendship with Sidney contained some high strangeness (not ET related though) in and of itself. If anyone is interested, I can talk about that in a follow up reply.

I'm a person who always relies on science and facts; I'm also not religious and agnostic myself. However, I wanna delve into my personal experience at least to see if the world we're living in isn't truly limited to the scientific and physical realm. I also want to do this (after this college journey) mainly because I have a hunch that something might be happening from the other side, and that other side might exist that we humans don't know about; and also to calm myself from my fear of death before trying to accept that there's nothing after dying and concluding life in our world is an accident, that we're born here by accident instead of purpose why we're here in the first place.

As people say, personal experience is the best teacher and immersing yourself in an unusual event with a sane, critical mind and healthy body could justify that there is something, at least for you.

What experiences? simple... Paranormal, seeing spirits, 3rd eye, ouija board, leaving your body temporarily to see yourself in 3rd person view without a mirror (astral projection), and many more unusual stuff. I also wanna see if those things actually make an impact on physical living. IDC how scary they might look as long as it's not life-threatening.

I just wanna see if there's really something in the unknown or if the unknown is simply nothing. I wanna believe I swear but believing in something that hasn't happened to you yet is a big no without immersing yourself.

If our incarnation system is separate to that of the rest of extraterrestrial life then I believe the real reason we are so interesting to them is because of our lifespan and ability to reincarnate in a way where we are connected to our past lives and experiences.

Think about it. Humans have many phases in their lifetime but overall we are born and eventually grow old and die. It creates a unique experience that makes us human. Especially within the last couple hundred years as life expectancy has increased it gives us more life experience. How it feels to age and truly grow old and eventually experience the ultimate loss of self, death.

If these extraterrestrials live much longer or are completely separate to our incarnation system then we hold a specific experience that makes us stand out.

We experience many lifetimes while they may only experience one. This could be why their technology is so advanced and different than ours. If their lifespan is much longer than ours they would be able to spend time working on developing their own technology that would be unique to them. For us we have to work and build off of other people’s work. I just saw a post saying that they are here because our DNA holds something valuable and I firmly believe it is experience of reincarnating through many lives and the information that holds.

The thing is I believe that our bodies hold feelings and trauma even from our past lives. I also believe that we are one being experiencing itself. If this is true then our collective memories or even internal subconscious knowledge create very valuable information for any life force that may not experience life in the same lengths as we do.

I have a theory that our feelings and subconscious mind are the true key to knowledge spanning back millions of years. I think the reason aliens are starting to contact us is for the fact that the knowledge we hold is indeed a unique experience that they as other life force never get to fully experience or understand on their own.

Like, ive done it before. But then I sound like I am making excuses and so I dont even bother with it anymore. Why has the universe forsaken me idk. Its whatever. I know I have internal systems to fix​ inside me first. And everyone always wants to make up a naturalist explanation which is god teir gaslighting. So i ignore them. Ive essentially become a hermit. I feel like i have to create a space for me. ​like the veil is closed for me until a certain development threshold.

I'll accept it. But dam it feels oppressive. has anyone else ever gone through this? like dam bro I have to obey this philosophical god of science here y'all. this is dumb. I feel like ive been given an inhibitor for now. I SHOULD Be able to control my environment. but I can't!

I don't have that ability because I believe I haven't had any kind of contact. How do you identify your peers? Do you know how to differentiate between these types?

those who are lying.

those who are confused.

those who have had an experience.

I believe the phenomenon is real, but I've never had any contact or situation that confirms it.

A unique ability I possess is the ease with which I can lucid dream—without the use of drugs—to escape nightmares and bizarre dreams.

Insanely long, jump ship if ya need, No need to come back and explain why.
I get it!

This telling of my experiences is loaded with warnings (caveats, clarifiers) and over explanations. Some will find it ad nauseam.
I elaborate because I’m not great at clear, concise in a first draft-this needs to be a 1st draft for now, and -i’d normally go back, eliminate a lot of that autistic inner-dialogue i inadvertently type out.

My story Came up in another discussion, some of the scattered thoughts may have pertained to a specific thread discussion -sorry for added level of difficult-read.
IT’S ME, not you, but be ready for a few bumps.

TLDR at bottom-

Also labeled- “actual story, experience:” below

I write weird! I’m not an asshat, or ai.. i am old, have autism, a strange *”formal command” (feedback from others) of English; it’s not my day to day language. Repetition is used in my language for emphasis. Over explanations are entrenched in me, going back and forth, bilingual, but not same comfort, or confidence. I try to not belabor &repeat, but this was stressful, i may do it horribly.

Don’t read it if I’m already annoying you, or you’re formulating some dumb argument- you gotta have effort! I’ll ignore dumb.

Huge story came out, I’m choosing to reply with it-

Likely poorly punctuated and a proofread fail. i can’t do it. No drama!, just doing something new here. I can’t read it. I’ll obsess, it’s the story, not my nature; I’m feeling the anxiety. Bravery and readiness show up, then, my hatred of mean comments (i have an appreciation for witty, fun- at least challenge yourself if you’re here to entertain) the strong feels about sharing are winning-
Huge Apologies for the autocorrect crap that will surely be there. I am neurodivergent, intelligent, and fully aware this will betray that last one; I’m okay with it. My phone hates me, and aside from that anthropomorphic issue, i have no psychological issues, or medications. I’ve taken adderall, and will take it in my future, no addictions, willing to enjoy cannabis for sleep- occasionally. I own my struggles willingly- ask if ya like, attacks won’t be attended to.

Actual story, experience:
I cannot purport to have any idea why people don’t remember things they see that don’t align with the world they were taught- but, i have seen it at work. I see UFOs, not all the time, but I’ve seen about 6 up close and personal, several in distance, and many suspicious lights, movement… i have been lucky enough to be, for the 6 up close sightings, with others; many who saw, commented, chatted that day about, and not again. My saving graces 1) not alone. when i saw a huge triangle occlude the whole sky, i was in a downtown area- it could not be ignored or denied. Easily 2 football fields, decently bright lights, insane movement, the absolute deal! Others out of their cars… i watch, for 10 minutes, my heart in my throat. Everyone starts getting in their cars, it has been eerily silent, but cars start to honk, people get moving, i head home. I knew what i saw, i knew there were intelligences beyond here. They were in there, an entire population maybe. I do nothing but obsess on what I’d seen, run into my house blabbering on with it 2) the’ rents, highly educated, intelligent… come right back with their own excited chatter. They had sat in their convertible down the street and watched it for more than 30 minutes. My father, an engineer, inventor, was giddy, on with it was going thousands of miles per second, then right down or, crawling over the top of them. My parents had been just over a mile away from where i had been. Had seen it zoom at least 3 times, twice back to glide over head, and once tip like there were strings at each corner and one was lengthened, dropping that corner down, revealing what ask 3 of us saw as an absolute city snaking out all over the top. There was an exhaust like happening from the ‘back center’ i likened it to a spray of a bottle rocket, bright lights in an acute trianglar spray. It made no noise, and when it was close the frogs, crickets, everything doused. My dad was on about the, “No sound” for s long time after that. We’re chatted that evening for hours. We chatted about it here and there, but the interesting part- my brother came in, had been about a mile from me, maybe 2 miles from them, saw it, chatted a bit, got quiet. He refused to speak of it, if it was mentioned, he was out.
Kind of 3) it had to be acknowledged, a downtown space occluded. The newspaper printed a story, calling it a ‘military formation’ thing…
I have hunted and searched. I paid subscriptions, even looked through microfiche- cannot find the article. I know it happened, we all saw it, separately and solidified the memory with conversations about the impossible movement, practically instantaneous speed, then amazing control as it glided just a couple hundred feet over head…
Others stopped talking about it, i asked a few who’d seen it, and they weren’t able to discuss it, then others would deny seeing it. I knew they saw it, we had acknowledged it. To this day, my brother will say, “No, it was definitely a formation of planes”
He didn’t forget, he’s freaked out by the whole bit, he protected himself.
I remember it so vividly, the other 5 up close, also vivid. I know of one conversation my buddy was willing to have following. No more. She just kind of started furrowing, denying within 2 days. There’s no way to reach out to the crowd I’d been in. It was an outdoor festival thing, (Denver, late 90s) i can’t remember which. But- obviously it faded. We were in the corner of 13th +(facing) Speer. Kinda feels like we were walking toward the civic center park, i remember walking, pointing, talking, people were along Bannock, all out and again it was like the world stopped. The silence was like being in a tornado’s inception, it feels like time stops, got in slow motion, the soundtrack stops, and the air feels wrong. I felt like i was indoors, seeing myself, all these people around surrounding go slow, freeze, shift… then, like a dj comes back on, sound, and motion straighten out.
I felt like one of 2, from a crowd of 60 visible people- who actually saw, really saw clearly what it was, and we were the only/ in real motion.
So freaking weird! I’ve never written this, it’s freaking me out, but It’s real. I try to convey, and i know my delivery lacks good proofreading. It freaks me out to reread it, ngl. I am one who has to rewrite and rewrite. So very sorry if this is shit to read. If i do it, i know i won’t hit that ‘reply’

TLDR: I’ve had the most amazing experiences, and seen undeniably some things not from here, with hundreds of other people. It is within a day or 2 that most of them lose the memory, a week or so later almost no one is able to/ willing to discuss it, high percentage outright deny it.

Context if ya care to continue-

I luckily had a father enthralled, also an experiencer. I believe my retaining was, i didn’t have fear, i didn’t shut it down, and- we talked about it at length, factors, aspects,... solidifying. Other experiences confirmed, for me, our capacity for storing these traumatizing/ outside our understanding, messing with our psyches, flooding us with fear… those things don’t find a foothold in memory, they no longer consciously exist, therefore, did not happen. It’s protective, it’s a trauma response, and it’s what they need to believe for their reasons.

I just want to give thanks to this subreddit and the people who have made this space possible and what it is. Thank you.

I dont have others to talk about any of my experiences with, and from my other posts youll see ive got a lot to share (have had lifelong contact). It means a lot to be able to get it out and off my chest, even if sometimes it feels like im speaking into the void.. does this subreddit have a 'social' space ? Would be nice to get to know people outside the realm of all this extraordinary stuff!

Little bit about me im in uni atm and enjoying it, i like dancing, and cooking. Living in aotearoa nz atm and may move overseas soon... i recently tried the caramilk flavored oreos and those are SO yum.. sitting by the fire atm and enjoying listening to the birds !
