Hey guys!
So I have a UFO experience from 10 years ago and I’ve struggled living with the next 10 years with no answers and no one else repeating the same phenomenon.

So basically I got back from my hospitality job around 1am, it was summer so it was hardly cloudy some here and there but the moon was bright so perfect night to hop out of my bedroom window and have a cigarette and tea to finish the night off (my bedroom was above the bathroom so the bathroom ceiling extended out where I could hop out and sit and star gaze). As I hopped out, organised my blanket to sit on, got my headphones on to zone out etc I was looking around for the moon and she was right behind the row of the houses I was on (imagine your looking backward and up there you could see her just above one of the houses) I don’t think anything of it until I get this “off” feeling like I need to be vigilant which all things considered as I’m literally backed out to fields with no noise, no one outside they I can see and the small football pitch on the right side of me a little further down has flood lights but they are off and It isn’t until i actually start looking at the clouds I can only properly see one big one that’s close but not above me close, and it looks like it’s slightly filled with light the way if the moon was behind it. The moon of course wasn’t behind it because it was to the left of me, this cloud is to the right and up completely opposite and I’m switching to all directions like ???ok??? Farmer flood lights? They scan slowly and they are low, at least our farmers ones were that I seen very often, I’m thinking it’s just the moon she’s just very VERY bright tonight and she’s shining on the clouds and for a little while they made sense enough for me to be comfortable and continue rolling.

I want to make it REAL clear at this point I’m very coherent, just finished a 9 hour shift I’m wide awake and I’m already checking myself, when I finally finish and I reminder looking through my playlist I look up and there seemed to be like this bottom light long and thin at the base of the cloud? I don’t know how to describe that but it was a bright white yellow light and I’m thinking “I don’t know wtf this is, my dad isn’t home and so I need to text someone” I text my bf who also lives in our area turned out to still be in work at this point and his job wasn’t a “duck my head out real quick” thing, so I was stuck.

It must’ve been a few minutes in a song is playing and I look up cause I see something like a light in a corner of my eye and the base line light in the cloud Is pulsing, like stretching pulsing? This happens as if it was a heart beat and one cloud thing FULL of bright light comes down, followed by another and in other til there is 5 of them all orbiting eachother circling floating around and the flashing light pauses as they dance around eachother. I tried taking a photo and video but it honestly hardly came through it just looked like the moon behind it, it was SO grainy and I’m going to be real I just thought people would fob it off or I’d hear about it on Facebook tomorrow and I definitely leaned into that pretty hard which I’m a fucking moron for thinking.

I started pinching myself even burnt the top of my finger to try to really make sure I was seeing this, I really got in that moment how others must’ve felt when they attempted to film it but it just looked so tacky it was embarrassing to even show, I can’t even write with the best description how utterly horrifying this was even though it sounds nice and chill cause “clouds filled with light”, nah mate filled with fucking DREAD it felt mocking and I don’t know how to explain that but it was a bad bad mix of “I’m fucked, I’m actually fucked”.
I was too in shock to move, too scared, I was fully aware no one was going to get back to me like I was being told it, it came with this “you’re in this alone kid” but I still had it in my head tomorrow I’ll wake up and this shit will be EVERYWHERE. Cause man there’s no way I was the only person up and out that night, people must’ve been in cars driving around and shit and I don’t get behind the idea one event was made for you.

Anyway, eventually I’m gonna say like 15-20 mins later they all go back up individually one after the other, this other random cloud has grown from the side/behind of it and as they go up, the light pulses, closes up and it dissipates into the other cloud. Like it’s just gone or like went into the smaller cloud? And starts drifting away into the further dark til I can’t see it anymore. I’m waiting that bit out btw like I’m so scared I need to know I’m watching it leave. I stay for a bit longer because I’m scrunched up against the wall and I can’t move.

I leave my dad, my bf missed calls, texts and the next day I tell them and they seen nothing, I go on fb there’s absolutely nothing, I go on forums I get no luck and hardly any responses. I talk to science bros, ufo enthusiasts all that malarkey and they just say “how strange”, DUDE NO WTF DO YOU MEAN THIS HAS EFFECTED ME like I took this shit with me to therapy which obviously no help as I have and had no hallucinations or mental health disorders they contribute to this, non of remembering this has been fun or a joyus campfire story it’s been a frustrating blister that is unable to pop, it’s isolating, it’s lonely, it’s deeply uncomfortable and only now do I feel like I want to at least properly share it so if anyone EVER has a cloud experience like this at night with the same everything, you are not alone and hopefully for the love of god I’m not either.

I want to add, my life after that was changed dramatically like my life is nothing but synchronicities, heavy visions, dreams, full blown intensity where I cannot ignore anything and though I welcome it and I’m grateful, I can’t help but wonder what was the point? I will forever want answers, I welcome every possible theory but only to the extent that there must be no holes because I WAS coherent, I was awake, I was vigilant and mostly I didn’t believe in ufos or anything like this before i was science all the way until theories dried up and started repeating themselves.
What do you reckon it was? Or have you had any experiences like this too? At this point in my life I want to hear anything and everything because it’s a comfort rather than staring at one painting I once did and that being my only source of sanity.
I’ll post a photo of the (awful) painting, I want to add it’s mainly the perspective of fields, the light and clouds/experience I made it as simplified as I could just for my own sake but hopefully it helps build the picture.

Take it steady but take it Reddit!
