I have no Earth shattering event and have reached no conclusion.
I will start in my early years. I remember often being afraid at night and would have recurring dreams of someone around me at night or of a bright light outside my window. I often remember having a feeling of being outside my body.
I don't know if this has anything to do with it or not, but I had and still have dreams of world catastrophes, violent weather, and huge explosions. In general I guess you would just say Earth changes.
Enough of that. On to something more unexplainable. When I was 10 or 12 years old I and two of my friends where coming from my house. We where going to see if they could stay all night with me. It was in the Fall around 7:00pm, so it was dark by then. When I seen these lights in the sky above us. I can not say what the distance of the object was from us, but it seemed fairly close as I remember. There were simple white lights 3 on top of 5 on bottom. The three of us stopped and started to talk about what it was. One of said that maybe it was a helicopter, because it was just standing still. We ruled that out because it seemed so close yet made no noise. We watched for what seemed like only a few minutes, then it started moving up and away from us. At first it moved slow and then it picked up incredible speed and disappeared it the night sky. When we got to my friends house we were in trouble because it was quit late, at least for grade schoolers. As I remember it was around 10:00pm and I know it does not take two or three hours to walk to the other side of my town, a town of 250 people!
Needless to say after that my friends never got to stay all night:)
One of my friends still remembers it and one does not, but it has been close to 30 years ago.
The second strange event in my life happened when I was around 21 or so. It's hard to recall exact dates after so long a time, even strange ones likes this!
