I was followed home by a UFO last night and I'm freaked out.

A few months back, 2 friends visited and we were walking around and having a laugh at night as you do. As we were on our way back home, we all saw a red light in the sky ahead of us. There were multiple lights on the thing, mostly red with a few green and maybe 7 in total but overall the dominant colour was red. The lights kinda puIsed too. I questioned what it was and the 2 friends said "it'll be a crane or something" but seeing as they don't know the area at all, I said that can't possibly be the case. It was hovering, deadly still, behind some trees and you could make it out quite well. Just as we were pointing at it, it pulled a move like reversing out of a bay in a car park and started flying away from us in a really smooth motion.

We tried to follow it but the road layout and the houses obscured our view and we lost it within 30 seconds. My friends were convinced it was a UFO, which I guess it technically was, but before we even walked the 10 mins back to my place, they were convinced it was an extra terrestrial. I tried to tell them that the most logical and simple answer is usually the right one. Occam's razor and all that. They didn't have any of it and proceeded to watch many many hours of alien documentaries (incl ancient aliens of course) and egged each other's beliefs on with theories and thoughts about the thing.

After they left, one of the friends resumed his normal life and not another thought was given to it. The other went on a crazy journey of spiritual awakening so to speak and tied this instance in with all the other UFO sightings he'd witnessed in his life. This guy has completely changed his beliefs and some of the stuff he comes out with is utterly ludicrous to me but to each his own I guess. I listened and heard him out and he started going "full hippy" on life (meaning no offense of course. Just can't think of how to put it). He was meditating (to the point of seeing "beings" from another dimension) and reading books about all sorts of mad shit like astral projection and really burying himself into this new lifestyle and belief structure. He'd tell me about his new spirit guide who is a dragonfly looking creature that he'd talk to through some form of telepathy and who explained that beings can shift through dimensions, up or down to a certain degree. He retroactively told me that when he saw the UFO, it felt like he had stepped through a semi permeable membrane, for lack of a better term and that he'd had some connection with it. He told me in a recent phone conversation that the sighting had legitimately changed his life and that it had confirmed things that he'd thought about for years.

I didn't have the heart to tell him. I saw a guy flying a drone in the same area, with the same lights, about 3 weeks later.

How much did the CIA pay you off to post this here to throw off the OP?

A few things you don't talk about on gaf:

1. Ghosts.

2. UFO's.

3. GMO's.

4. Hillary Clinton

These things threaten the bubble that a large percentage of gaffers live in (not all of us are like that though).

You have been learned. Haf a nice day.

You must be a messy eater with all those chips on your shoulder, dude. Gaf isn't a hive mind and because the forum, by merit of the selection process for emails, is an intellectual place you should expect this. Isn't it the calling card of the right that there shouldn't be 'safe spaces'? This isn't one of those but not in the way you'd probably like it to be.

Ghosts aren't real

UFOs are still UFOs if you are sticking to the literal definition of a UFO. They aren't aliens or any sign of extraterristerial or the paranormal.

GMOs are safe and have scientific consensus to back it up.

Clinton is a very experienced politician and the scandals attributed to her have been mostly nothing.

You forgot to mention:
5. Creationism
6. Flat earth
7. Crowd stalking
8. How the moon landing is faked
9. Climate change is a myth
10. Vaccines cause autism
etc.

Generally speaking, making claims that have no supporting evidence is a bad idea.

That's the problem.

I don't blame people for not believing in UFOs. But people make it too easy. "Well why didn't you just film it?", i would like to see them in the same situation.

I saw one once and trust me, the only thing i was thinking of was to run away as fast as i could. I know i will never have the proofs, but i'm 100% sure that i saw something that night. I don't know what it was (i'm not claiming it was aliens or whatever, because i'm a rational person and in fact i don't have proofs), but it was there in front of my eyes. It's just a bit frustrating how people act when you tell them, like if you are some sort of drug addicted, alcoholic or crazy person, that's it lol.

Because there's a 99.99999999999% chance it's something mundane which actually makes you the opposite of rational. It's like me saying I'm a rational person but a friend said she saw a ghost in the other room so I bolted.

As long as there is at least room for sobering, logical explanations and scientific evidence in that thread, i'm all in.
Not just those 'I SAW WHAT I SAW' *fingers in ears* kind of responses.

Of course. I agree a healthy dose of scepticism is vital in these kinds of subjects, but equally it should be free of the kind 'OP is high' comments I so often see in these kind of threads

And a complete ban on Giorgio A Tsoukalos memes!

Never done an OT before! if someone else wants to jump in - feel free

Yo, I'm in Tampa too.

When you meet the aliens hit me up in the DMs and I'll see if I can grab a couple beers and we can watch a couple shows on my phone with Netflix.

Two rules though: NO PROBING and NO MINDMELDING

Update: I got video gaffers! It followed me to work this morning. Flew right over as I parked. A few of my buddies at work saw it too. Nobody can explain it. I'm at work now but will post later when I get off. Fucking crazy!

So do you think it's the same type that blew up the SpaceX rocket? :eek:

Here's the thing. If a bright white light follows me all the way home, I'm going to make sure and see if he wants a friend. As freaky as it is, I want to be fully invested in the ordeal.

(It's a drone).

This is one of the best stories I've read on GAF, bravo, you should be a writer! Hahahahaha. Poor guy. EDIT: Re-reading this, my post gives the impression that I think you made it up. I actually meant to say that you really know how to structure your story. That twist.

"Gang stalking", Nocebo. Don't you remember when I corrected you on that when we were standing in line at the bank last week, and when you turned around I pretended I hadn't said anything?

My money is on your uncle.

I mean, you did talk a lot about this UFO stuff with him before it started happening, and he knows you're interested/believe in it enough to research all of it.

Option 2: a bored guy spending his nights trying to find stuff to look at after work every night.

Probably somebody around you has a drone.

Maybe another around your work?

I know they came out with some affordable drones relatively recent.

It's 100% a drone.

Are you sure you're not embellishing a little when you say it's been following you? If you drive home the same route each night, chances are it's the same guy just taking his drone out for a nightly flight at the same time you pass through the area.

I stand by what I said in a previous post. The fact you thought it was following you because you smiled and waved, and that you thought the orange light was some sort of test to see if you would notice, these aren't the thoughts of someone thinking rationally.

Well can you at least show me a picture of what one of these very large plane-looking drones look like, and not the military ones, because I've never seen one? Even the police drones are pretty small. This thing was the size of a bus.

I know this. I assumed you were treating every ufo as though it were an alien even though, as I said, it's going to be something mundane in reality. Why would you run away at the sight of a ufo with this knowledge?

It's OK, OP. Apparently many people get confused by drones and think they're UFOs. Well, to them they're unidentified I suppose.

Maybe it's hard to see from the video but it doesn't even look close to the size of a bus to me.
