Rigolet. Publié. Savourer. Admire. And enjoy. And profite. Villaray, the voice that we love that we love. My fiancé and I live on the edge of a large townhome slash apartment community,

and our unit is towards the back, abutting the woods. There's nothing between the neighborhood and the highway, a short distance through the woods, and it's generally very quiet. Last night, around midnight, we went out to smoke and we're standing in a little clearing next to the woods. We do this all the time. everything was normal. We finished up and started walking back towards our house. When suddenly, I experienced the most brief, sudden, brightest flash of pure white, blueish light that encompassed my entire field of vision.

It illuminated everything I could see, including the sky. Then, went back to normal. It felt like it lasted less than a millisecond. and I thought it was just my eyes playing tricks on me. I was about to say something about it just in case, because I immediately felt a sense of impending doom, when my fiancé suddenly said, Did you see that light?

I looked at him and nodded, and he just said, run. We sprinted to our front door, locked it behind us, and just looked at each other, both knowing how unsettling this was. We both noticed it was eerily silent. We live right next to the highway. There's usually road noise or a plane or a train in the distance, but there was nothing. I feel okay. Do you feel okay?

My fiancé asked. Physically, I felt fine, I said. I still think it's weird that we felt the need to check on each other in that way. Like we both knew immediately that something had happened to us. What the hell was that? He said. I said the same. He asked what direction I felt the light came from.

I said, somehow everywhere and nowhere? He said, oh, damn, I was hoping you wouldn't say that because that's what I was thinking. Then I said that if I had to choose, I would say the sky? He said the same. We started brainstorming. It didn't come from the highway. We were facing the opposite direction. Did a neighbor take a photo of us?

This is likely the only logical explanation, but we both know what it feels like to experience a camera flash, and this... This was not it. Was it lightning? It was a clear night. We know what lightning feels and looks like, and we know it wasn't that.

It was too brief and too close to us. And it didn't just light up the sky, It lit up everything. Could a transformer had blown up in the distance? Well, we've experienced that too. And we're confident this was not it. It was so, so, so brief. We both said we thought it may not have happened.

We almost didn't say anything to each other and just kept walking. What prompted him to say something was the utter silence and feeling of extreme impending doom, which we both felt. So could it have come from a plane or helicopter or drone? Well, my fiancé happened to be looking up when it happened, and saw and heard nothing, just said the entire sky lit up. That's what we agreed was the weirdest part about it. Absolutely no sounds associated with it.

We both said it was unlike anything we've ever, ever experienced. We're both very rational people. We've been together almost 12 years and have never thought we'd had any paranormal or extraterrestrial experiences. Not even sure that we believe in any of that. But for some reason, we both agreed that this felt alien. I'm not saying this was aliens. I'm saying that two rational, normal, sensible people who have great confidence in the other's sanity experienced the same thing at the exact same time

and drew the exact same conclusion. I know I sound insane, and I feel insane. He feels insane. We've never experienced anything like this. Has anyone had a similar experience? Does anyone know if maybe a comet could have hit our atmosphere last night and burned up extremely quickly? This happened at almost exactly midnight last night,

in New England. Never thought I would have a story to add to this sub, but it finally happened. And as I'd initially shaken it off, a strange dream brought me back to the moment that I'd experienced this past weekend. I was riding my bike down a long road with almost zero vehicles on it.

I was in the dedicated bike lane, scooting along as I'd done hundreds of times before down this stretch of road, there's about three feet of open gap between the curb of this road and the bike lane, followed by the three foot wide bike lane, and then finally the vehicle lane. Vehicles are not allowed to park in the gap or bike lane

unless there are the city maintenance crew that service the road, grass and noise walls of this particular stretch. Well, this day there was a big blue moving truck parked ride out on the curb, wide enough to take the empty three-foot gap, the three-foot-wide bike lane, and spill over into the vehicle lane. I thought, no big deal, as there weren't any cars behind me, and I had plenty of space to move into the road to go around it. The spot where the truck had stopped was the only spot on the stretch of road, where the

shrubbery from the other side of the noise wall was growing into the ground and out the other side. It sticks out like a sore thumb. But anyway, as I was going around the truck and into the vehicle lane, the door to the cab of the truck flew open forcefully right as I was about to pass it. I'm talking like the person that threw it open was trying their best to hurt me and waited for the best opportunity. At the last second, I clenched my teeth, swerved out of the way, and just instinctively swered back into the bus.

bike lane and came to a stop. I was pissed off and full of adrenaline, so I screamed, What the hell is your problem, bro? You could have freaking killed me, while dismounting my bike and making my way to the truck. Now, this is where it got strange. There was no one in the truck. I went back toward it, and there was no one outside of the truck either. It was really just there with the door still wide open.

There was nowhere that anyone could have slipped away. Those noise walls are there to spare the neighboring homes from car noises. They're about ten feet tall and they stretch for a good quarter mile, with no open gaps anywhere. I went around to the back of the truck, and it was open and empty. There was nothing in it. No hiding spots. It was just an empty box truck and an empty cab.

I decided to just jump on my bike and go home. I pushed it out of my head and considered myself lucky to be unharmed. That lasted about a day. I can't help but feel like I was in some moment in time that somehow got stuck. Upon remembering the occurrence, there was almost no sound. No other cars driving by, no birds chirping, no wind blowing on what was actually a fairly windy day. It wasn't until I got closer to home that everything felt normal again, and I was able to move past it. Now, it plagues me that I didn't take a photo with my phone or

didn't look for one of those how's my driving stickers to report the truck. It's one of those glitches that I'm just going to have to wonder about forever. This just happened, and I'm still trying to make sense of it. So, some background. I had my two bottom wisdom teeth removed when I was 15. I'm 23 now, and lived in a different town than I do now. I got my upper wisdom teeth removed last year, as they were still too far up when they took the bottoms. I remember both well, because I don't get put under. I just get numbed for the removal. So I'm fully aware, and, and I asked if I could keep my top teeth. One was broken in removal, so I don't need that one,

but I do keep the non-broken one. My mother is a dental assistant, and is there for anything that involves my teeth. A few weeks ago, I had a piece of food stick to the upper part of my mouth, where my wisdom tooth was taken. When I removed it, I felt a piece of bone. It happens sometimes, I guess,

if the tooth breaks off, you can still have really small pieces come out. That's what my mom told me and said if I wanted to get a small mouth mirror, don't remember what they're actually called, and some tweezers to pull it out, I could. I said, okay, and go about my day. Over the next couple of days, it hasn't moved, so I asked my mom for one of those mirrors, and she asked me why. I reminded her about the bone piece, and she seemed to me. seemed really confused, like she hadn't remembered the other conversation.

I explain it again, and she says, well, I guess it's time to pull your top ones out. Baffled, I reminded her we already did, and she has no memory of it but doesn't believe me. Fast forward to yesterday, my mother called me while she was at work to schedule a cleaning. Once that was set, before she hangs up, I remind her of our confusion about my wisdom teeth. She checks my x-rays, which were last taken February 2020, so after I remember them being taken out. She said with a giggle,

well, I see two wisdom teeth staring right at me. I'm very taken aback now, and walk into my bedroom where I have my wisdom tooth sitting in a little container. It's the kind that you get from a 25-cent machine. It's definitely there, and it's not one of my bottom teeth because when we moved from the other town, I didn't get to pack my room.

Irrelevant story. And a lot of my stuff, especially the small things, got broken or lost. I've moved four times since then, and I know for a fact I didn't have either of my bottom wisdom teeth. I thought removing the top two was maybe a false memory or something, but that tooth is still in my room. So what tooth was that? Side note, I know I'm weird for keeping the tooth, but thanks for reading.

Edit, I wanted to check after reading the comments. I went to my appointment and checked my history in all the x-rays. There's no possibility of impacted teeth or an extra set, and no history of the top wisdom teeth being removed. So I'm still confused. and still have the tooth. I posted this as a reply a while ago, but I thought it deserved its own thread.

We were driving from Santa Barbara to L.A. in a hired car at night. We had to drive through some mountains. We pulled over into a pitch black car park while my wife sorted some blankets out for our toddler. He was asleep in the back. Now this sounds really cheesy, but it's true, so, hey, I'll just type it out. I felt really uneasy in that car park.

There was no one around apart from the busy mountain road. I sat there looking up through the glass ceiling nervous and couldn't wait to leave when I saw a shooting star. Not just any star, but really huge, like it was from a movie. I was about to mention it to my wife when I noticed another car parked up in the corner to my left. It was deep in the forest shadows and just sitting there.

I wasn't sure if it had just pulled in or if I hadn't noticed it before. But either way, I was silently itching to leave. With a small baby in the back in an area, I didn't know. I was feeling watched and really vulnerable. I quietly hurried my wife up. Strangely, almost unable to speak, I started the engine and turned the car around slowly. Mainly just so we were moving more than anything.

The parked car was now on my right, and at least now, I was facing the exit to the main road. It was then that I saw some movement in the car, and I went cold. It looked like a silhouette of a man walking toward us. Fast. I froze, and then saw to my left another man on the other side. just as fast but much closer. I totally panicked.

I slammed my foot down without saying anything and screeched out of the car park. My wife screamed. The main road was busy, with cars in both directions, and feeling the heat behind me, I quickly pulled out to turn left into the traffic. It was then a huge truck came over the ridge, fast. Blinded by the headlights we embraced for impact from the side.

Honestly, key parts of my life flashed through my head and time slowed down enough for me to realize that I'd killed my family. Cut to a second later and there are no cars on the road at all. It's dark, silent, and pitch black. We're slowly driving along the main road at 20 miles per hour. All is quiet. We looked at each other and didn't say much for a while until I just said, Um, I think we used up a life there. We've hardly spoken of it since.

A very weird thing now is that I brought it up a while ago, and my wife could hardly remember it. Lazzang surgellied, puissance-moleaned for 15 minutes. We're like it's their dojo. Pre-a-joo? Vive the pleasure with Leo Jo. The casino in-line that proposes the most recent machine-assed

The conditions apply. I grew up in a large family. I'm the youngest of seven. We lived with my dad and never had a lot of money. Somehow, I ended up getting the basement room with no windows.

Actually, now that I think about it, I don't think it was considered a room due to fire safety reasons. It was like a big cement box with a door in the middle of the house. I've told the story before and I get looks like I've made it up. I just can't get over the reality of it and I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar experience. It was late at night and I woke up needing to go to the bathroom. I usually slept with the door wide open and the hall light on, but for some reason, the door was only open enough for just a sliver of light to come through. I was scared, but I decided if I ran, I could make it.

The room wasn't that big. I don't know how I was to explain this, but as I began to run for the door, it just vanished. There was no light. just pitch black in every direction. I remember freaking out, and I continued in the direction that I knew the door was. I began to fill around all the walls, and there was nothing, no opening anywhere. So I ran back to my bed and thought for a minute, the door should be right in front of the foot of my bed. I tried again and nothing, it was just the wall.

So at that point I'm starting to freak out and I began to scream. I start feeling all the walls walking the entire perimeter of the room. I had one hand on the wall the whole time. I was past where the door should be and felt a corner. Then the next wall. Then halfway on the third wall getting back to my bed, standing on the bed while still running my fingers on the wall. Then I hit the fourth wall and I was actually crawling on top of my long dresser running my

hand on the wall. The dresser was to the left of my bed, which meant I had to be coming back to the first wall where the door should be. There was nothing there. I don't know how many times I searched the walls looking for my door, but I eventually scared myself so badly that I went back to bed and yelled for what seemed like forever for my dad. His room was upstairs.

He finally came crashing through the door, right where it was supposed to be. I had checked there so many times, and the mess that I made? I wasn't there. I was sitting up in bed, and I don't think in any way that I could have been dreaming, but I still don't know what happened.
