When I was about 11 or 12, I had an extremely close encounter with a UFO, alongside several of my classmates and our parents. This was the early '90s. I've posted some of this story in comment form previously, but only the first part.
Anyway, It was evening, just gone dark, and we were playing in a field under supervision. It was a birthday party for one of my classmates, and it was nearly at an end since it was getting late.
One of us noticed a really bright star that was moving. Some of us watched it and soon realised it wasn't a star, and it was getting closer, and very quickly... Then it was extremely close and we could see that it was an elliptical shaped craft, chrome-like in appearance. No windows, and a strip of white/yellow lights going around the circumference. It was perfectly silent. It was longer in size than a large car, and taller.
This thing hovered there, silently, over our heads and by this time everyone present was aware of it. I remember everyone was memorised, staring up in awe and fear... After probably a couple of minutes maximum, it very slowly started moving away to our right. Then, in an instant, it zipped up into space and was gone.
I don't recall there being any missing time, but I can't confirm that.
So, not too long after that encounter, I had another really strange experience: I was in bed, reading a comic at night, when I noticed 3 red dots (just like the Predator's laser sight. I know, I know, sounds like such a load of shit, right?) on the wall opposite the window. It was clearly coming from something outside.
Being too terrified to get up and look outside, but still curious nonetheless, I eventually ended up putting my hand out until the lights were touching my palm. The light was moving very slightly, just as a sniper's laser pointer would, and a part of me wondered if someone was playing some kind of prank on me. But bear in mind, we lived in the absolute middle of nowhere, closest neighbours not very close at all.
Nothing happened, but... the light was still visible through my hand and on the wall! This really freaked me out and I remember pulling my hand away in horror and hiding under my sheets.
After a while, I looked again and the light was still there. I managed to summon the courage to get up and look out the window.
I could find no source of this light... But it was still there, coming from somewhere, somehow, shining on me and through me. I eventually got back into bed and fell asleep, very confused.
That night I had a really vivid dream. In the dream, I was woken by a bunch of grey aliens in my room. But the weird thing about them was that they were translucent. Ghost-like. They didn't speak, but somehow made me understand that they wanted me to come with them. Not that I really had a choice, because they made me float off the ground and then through my bedroom wall and into the back garden.
From here, they brought me through to the side garden, where their craft was waiting. I can't remember exactly how the craft looked, but it wasn't quite the same as the one I had seen in real life not long ago. The craft had a ramp leading inside, and these aliens floated me up it. I went inside and that's where the dream ended.
That dream always stuck with me so strongly, and I've thought about it an awful lot ever since. I always regarded it as just a vivd dream until one night last year, I was listening to a podcast which had a UFOlogist as the guest. I can't remember who, and I'm kicking myself for that. Anyway, I was listening to it and on the edge of sleep, when the guy started talking about translucent grey aliens...
I had never, not once, heard someone mention a translucent kind of grey. I was immediately reminded of the dream. I actually sat up in bed, my heart pounding, with a sudden thought of "Holy fuck, was that dream actually a dream?". Apparently other people have seen these greys, but my searching for info has turned up nothing so far.
So, since this is quite a long post I'm gonna wrap it up now, but I'd like to ask if anyone else has seen these kind of greys, and if you think there's any possibility that it wasn't a dream, especially given the strange shit that happened beforehand...
Thanks for reading if you got this far.
