Ok,I can see this going south pretty quickly but has anyone EVER seen something in all their years that they truly can't explain?
I've possibly had such a moment but it's a bit to personal to go into.
Anyone want to risk the stw wrath and reveal all?
Used to see and hear 'ghosts' when I was a kid. Obviously, just an overactive imagination.
Years later saw an arse in a window. Was on acid tho so...
Edit: OMG, just remembered seeing someone drag a body-sized sack across a field one dawn morning years ago. Was on acid then too though I think.
My friend's dead gran answered the phone to me once.
Brexit.
yep, some of the nonsense on here comes close to inexplicable at times.
but has anyone EVER seen something in all their years that they truly can't explain?
I'm sure many people have but the the thing I always like to remind myself, and others, of is:
[i]I can't explain thing[/i] != [i]thing is inexplicable[/i]
Sometimes it's just a bit of missing bit information or knowledge, and sometimes it might be a case of human brain works in funny way, but I don't subscribe to the notion of things being actually impossible to explain, even if I can't necessarily explain them with the current information I have, if that makes sense.
we all have but we experince billion of things a day so not that surprising
1. Saw an alien space ship - think 70's graphiocs in the 70's a s a kid staring out the window when i woke up ages perhaps 10 or 11
2. Saw the back end of an animal going over a bridge that then disappeared - no idea what it was bigger than a pig though and a sort of rusty colour - that proper freaked me out and cycling alone and had to cross the bridge which had a woods on both sides- no idea what the animal was wild boar??
Never seen a ghost yet but there is still time
Yes we have a seen something that was not there or been confused at some point
DO i believe in ghosts or UFO's NO
I was surprised by the number of people on here who think the moon landings were faked.
Ive seen pretty everything, but I've never seen an elephant fly!
Lots of things, but I generally think there's a rational explanation that I just don't know about. So I don't worry about it.
We seemed to have a spate of odd things happening when we moved into our new house. Objects moving behind our backs, that sort of thing. The oddest one was, when building the new kitchen, I mopped the hallway, then saw a set of dog paw prints come out of the wet hallway, through the dusty kitchen and into a corner. No dog and no prints back out again. WooooOOOOOOooooo!
I’ve just watched Ashley Young curl in the perfect free kick for his second absolute peach of the first half
Ashley Young! 😯
Seen loads I can’t explain but nothing to convince me it was a ghost or extra terrestrials visiting us.
This for starters.[img]Anyone ever genuinely seen something they can't explain.

A few years ago on Stargazers Lounge, the astronomy website, a new member posted that he had seen a strikingly bright light moving across the sky so fast that he couldn't explain what it was. His only possible explanation was that he had seen a UFO.
Within minutes somebody posted details about the ISS, explained that it was very bright and matched the time and location, told him who was on board, what they were doing, what they had for dinner.... All it needed was for the original guy to use his brain a little but he probably really wanted to see a UFO.
I once did a poo & when I wiped there was nothing & nothing in the bowl either.
Could of been a Poolucination I suppose.
Ah, a pooltergeist....
Yes, I saw a spirit once many years ago. 😛
When I was about 12 years old I was looking out of my bedroom window and saw a large ball of light with 3 smaller balls around it - they flew down the street towards my house at about roof level before flying in front of my window then heading up into the sky. To this day I have no idea what it was, but the memory is as clear as day, even 35 years on.
Was no doubt some weird ball lightning or something, but....

I always put my keys, phone and wallet on the mule post when I get in from work, within minutes they've disappeared and rematerialise in a random drawer. Never understood it.
I lost three hours once, went for a nocturnal poo and remember sitting down on the bog and came too three hours later standing in the lounge......
+1 Brexit
and Donald Trump.
But more scientifically, Dark Matter & Dark Energy, and the scientific community can't explain them either, hence "Dark" in the names. Not even that, they're things made up to explain something in models that doesn't make sense in universal gravitational calculations and there's no proof they exist, but it adds up if they did, whatever they are. It's almost like God 😉
Actually, I haven't genuinely seen Dark Matter & Dark Energy, so doesn't count in the subject of this thread anyway. Nor has anyone else seen them 😛
Similar to woody2000, when I was about 10 a couple of mates and I saw some weird floaty balls of light in the woods. It was on a disused railway line, no houses or streetlights in line of sight (I've checked as an adult, as it still puzzles me). They just moved slowly along the gap in the trees (above where the tracks used to be) towards us, then drifted off to the side and disappeared.
Three of us saw them, still have no idea what they were, apart from ball lightning of some sort.

However, perhaps we have seen both and dumpy don't know it. We could be aiming in the stuff. Perhaps! Lol
Ok ..I will stick my neck out ..
Thought that I had seen a"ghost" sitting in the passenger seat of a car following me along the road between Causey Arch and Stanley in Co.Durham ..what you would generally associate a ghost looking like ..female White /Pale ..woke my brother up who was sleeping in the passenger seat and he agreed that she looked " funny " .When I looked again she had disappeared..
This was at about 5.30 in the evening returning home from work ..and we are talking about 40 years ago ...
There is some reporting of this ..although I struggled to get any detail from these headlines

I have also seen some unexplained objects crossing over the A68 in Northumberland ..two in close proximity to each other green & red and at a speed I've not previously seen .It was dark and my initial thought were that they had to be something to do with exercises at Otterburn Camp ..but we were well short of where any exercises would be taking place and they were very low level.
Well that's brought my status up to Cuckoo level ..if it wasn't already !

Yeah, that's exactly the sort of thing I'm thinking of.
Young minds are more open mind too.
At the British trials championships in 1998 at Hook Wood in Surrey, I saw Chris Akrigg clean a section in 30 odd seconds that had taken Martin Hawyes just shy of 2 minutes to do.
Also saw a small manlike creature behind a tree in Thetford forest in the wee small hours of dusk till dawn, but I suspect that was someone squatting for a comfort break 🙂
One of my family home neighbours was quite a distinctive chap - big grey beard, often wore a trilby and carried a briefcase. You would see him walking past on his way home from work.
About 15 years ago now he passed away. In the few weeks after his death, I can be absolutely positive in seeing him walking his usual route home - however I dismissed myself as just imagining it and never mentioned it to anyone.
Fast forward a couple of years to one of my parents family gatherings at the house... My mum starts telling her story about how our neighbour died but she still saw him walking by the house afterwards, etc etc...
Bearing in mind I never mentioned this to anyone either, cue a whole load of puzzlement...
Not seen but heard.
Night ride on Rivington about 4 years ago. It was about 11pm and we were climbing upto Georges Lane from the back of the school. I was ahead of my mate and I heard the sound of a kids playground, the kind of noise you would hear at playtime in a Primary School.
I thought I was going mad. I stopped to let my mate catch up and upon him reaching me he said " I know, just keep ****ing pedalling "
We never worked out where it came from.

Whatever that was, my grandad described to me something extremely similar he saw when he was a teenager. He's about as no-nonsense as you'll find, so I've no reason to doubt him
Me and my sister saw 3 lights close together on the horizon hovering and then accelerate and reposition itself what must have been a mile or so to,the left but it was near instantaneous. Whatever it was the object was itself a mile or so away over farmland/golf course.
There was a report in the local paper of a 'close encounter' a while later.
I remember it like it was yesterday but it was 35 years ago.
Saw a ball of light thing as a kid, but so did the family, and there was a storm at the time and being a relatively sciencey family the explanation was ball lightning.
Bookmarked, sure this thread will last until morning 😆
Me and two mates once saw a light moving rapidly and erratically in the sky, except we all saw it in the same area of sky (within the confines of orion) despite being about 60yds apart.
This meant it would have had to be quite far away despite moving at incredible speeds.
None of us started to subscribe to JHJ.
I saw an intellectually challenged man painting the walls of a public toilet with shit. Five minutes later there was an earthquake. FREAKY!!!
When I was 14 I was doing my 0600 paper round on a Sunday in the countryside. Summers morning, no clouds. Saw a huge orange glowing ball the size of a house in the distance. It silently flew over me at tree top level and then sped off. Sounds silly but I 100% saw it and it stopped me in tracks with my jaw hanging. Rushed home to wake my dad who wasn't at all interested.
Had an out of body experience where I was convinced I was sat in the top corner of the room looking down at myself in bed. I flew from my body backwards. It felt so real. Odd. I was about 17. I was smoking a lot of weed in those days but it was still so real to me.
Last year the potato masher went missing, we still haven't found it and now we've bought a new one. Weird.
I recently saw Donald Trump in a dog's ear.
I keep seeing people riding around Cannock Chase on bikes with 3" tyres.
I've also seen what I presume now was ball lightning. In a small park in Hong Kong, small ball of light, (football sized) did a lap of the small park near our home, this was after a massive monsoon storm.
At the time, to a small boy obsessed with Star Wars and Trek I was convinced it was aliens (obvs) 😆
Saw a dead wallaby by the side of the road in Fife.
Couldn't really easily explain that one. Then someone, probably on here, pointed out there are quite a few wild wallabies in the UK so a dead one by the side of the road didn't necessarily involve the nefarious actions of interstellar visitors
Many years ago when I worked on a farm I saw an orange light hovering in the sky for about five minutes before it vanished. It was low on the horizon, aprox one mile away and the size of a satsuma (so work out how big that would be if its a mile away).
My dad was with me, we both stood and watched it for five minutes.
I class it as a UFO sighting. As in it was flying and neither of us could identify what it was. I DO NOT class it as an alien/flying saucer sighting.
Notice how videos and photographs of UFOs, ghosts and big foot etc.. and disappeared since almost everyone carries around an easily accessible, low light mode, high definition camera in their pocket? Even though we take substantially more photos/videos now? 🙂
The aliens and ghosts must have had a thing for crappy old cameras...
