Does anyone know or experienced ufo's+strange lights during/soon/after a war? I've heard they can be related to nuclear activity from other countries

@LadyGrace I'd like to hear about it, either here or in private message. I once saw lights right above someone's house at night. It was extremely low for aircraft if it was and don't know why so low.

@amethyst1 That’s interesting! I don’t mind sharing.

It was 1972, around 11 o'clock at night, on old Eiler Rd. My friend, Patty Fae, noticed it first...and then pointed it out to me. I said, "Oh, Patty Fae, that ain't nothin'...just a bright streetlight." lol

We were a little distance away. Then as we got closer, I noticed she was right. That was way too bright for a streetlight. Then we got up on it and I quickly pulled over on the side of the road and we were just flabbergasted. We were actually seeing a UFO up close!! But just as I pulled in, it switched its four extremely bright lights (as bright as those on a football field) to only two dim lights, yet didn't move a hair. But because it was hovering above the streetlight, we could only make out the lights in the dark, not the shape. I was so mad. I so wanted to see the shape.

What it was looking for, we'll never know!! It was weird. It had had the bright lights shining across the street from where it was, in a vacant wheatfield...as if searching for something. Then, like I said, switched real quick as could be, to only two dim lights, as we pulled off the road. I rolled the window down to see if maybe it was a helicopter. Not one noise came from it. Quieter than a mouse. Then all of a sudden, from that single spot, it took off so fast!!...at lightning speed and was gone across town in mere seconds! Just like a streak of light. We never saw anything like it. I'll never forget it. We told our husbands that night, but they just shrugged it off. Didn't even act like they believed it. We just shook our heads. I'm glad I had Patty with me that night. At least we know what we saw. Even if no one else believes us. 😂

If you ever get the chance, watch the documentary "UFO's Over Illinois". It is awesome, and you can order it from the library for free. It shows one man in Highland, Illinois (very close to me at the time) who saw one so up close, it is unbelievable...and it looked like a house it was so big, and they show a simulation of it, as many saw it, called it in, then police and state troopers watched them travel from county to county until it disappeared. It's one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. They even have some of the troopers talking about it in an interview.

@LadyGrace Interesting. Well I don't live in America but I watched a few similar programmes.. I think one was based in L.a +another in England+another in Iran or Iraq. That's what triggered this question.

@Peaches oooh... Spooky

@amethyst1 The house was haunted. I was so glad to leave! I have several stories up in the paranormal group I'm in. I stopped writing them but have "happenings" all the time. I'm thinking of writing about my experiences again. Maybe after Christmas...

@Peaches I'd be interested...

@CrazyWorld If you don’t mind, I’d love to hear about them, and your closest encounter.

@LadyGrace Someone was suicidal on EP back in 2013. She was a young woman who was cutting herself. She said she was going to kill herself that night. I went outside and said a prayer for her, something I rarely do, and all of a sudden I saw a bunch of multi-coloured fast moving dots in the sky for about 30 seconds. They were slightly larger than the brightest of stars in the sky, and there were at least 7 of them.

The other day I saw a star that all of sudden started moving across the sky as I glanced at it. I left my house and got a feeling to look straight up at the night sky, saw this bright star that suddenly started moving at the speed of a jet.

As a kid I saw something very similar. A star that suddenly started moving horizontally, slowly at first, then at rapid speed till it vanished altogether.

@CrazyWorld Thank you, I really enjoyed those. I had a similar experience night after night when I lived in the country where you could really see the stars. However this one particular star was not actually a star. It was way too bright and way too low. It’s stayed in one spot every night, in the backyard and then as I watched, it would waver back-and-forth and then come down quite low, then slowly moved to the right along the hills in clear view, then over the hill. After about 15 minutes, it’d slowly come back, then later go up and stand like a star. I called people to come look at it. Even the cops came out to see it, but couldn’t make out what it was. It had been only a couple hundred feet off the ground. It was abnormally bright, but was very close to the ground and only about 12 yards from the back of my property. Never made a sound. I noticed it’d follow me when I went places. I wasn’t dreaming, I had a friend with me who testified to that. It would actually follow me home and stay in that spot. I know that sometimes it looks like a star is following you or something that is way high, but this was too low to mistake. It would follow me to my daughters and stay low there in the neighborhood and then follow me home. It was really eerie.
