Hey there.

As the title says, don’t you feel frustrated whenever a new video comes along and it’s just a blurry pixel doing mundane things?

15 years ago I saw something extraordinary, something that I tear up by just remembering. I won’t go into details because why would I? I’m a stranger on the internet and my experience has no weight cept for me. But I know what I saw, and I truly wonder why nobody ever caught something like that with a camera.

Video after video after images come out and all that I’m left saying to myself is “that’s not it”.

I’m just frustrated that the hallucination hypothesis is the best explanation for my sighting at this point.

how do you cope with that?

    It’s possible to be mistaken without hallucinating. Some people report an UFO following them that turns out to be the moon, so it’s pretty easy.

    But yeah, the lack of proper videos in an age where cameras are everywhere and include pretty good night performance seems to be a pretty strong clue weighing towards the human error (of whatever kind) rather than “actual” UFOs.

      I understand some people might confuse them. What I saw wasn’t the moon though. It was moving at seemingly constant speed, then stopped for a brief moment and shot away accelerating from 0 to infinity in less than a second. It was at first greenish-yellow colored but turned redder as it got away.

        I’m not saying that you didn’t see anything or that it was the moon. I’m simply saying that it’s not as binary as either aliens or hallucinations. There are other possibilities, from atmospheric events to aircrafts or other.
