Hello. I’m not sure if my post will be seen, but I want to share my story anyway.
I’m 30 years old. I live in Arkansas. Not out in the country, but in a town with ~70,000 people.
In 2014, (I don’t remember the month, day or anything like that) I went outside at about 1 or 2 AM to smoke a cigarette. I have cats and had one of their, like, $2 cat toy laser pointers with me. I was squiggling it around at the fence and then at some trees across the street. Right where I was pointing the laser pointer a black triangle shape with rounded corners just “appeared”. I didn’t hear anything, didn’t see any lights. I really only saw it at all because it was darker than the night sky behind it.
I don’t believe in aliens. I was sober. I was awake.
It literally vanished as quickly as it appeared, it didn’t move in any direction it was just there and then it wasn’t.
I turned around, went into the house and started googling crap. I didn’t tell anyone because I never believed people who said they saw things like that and I realize how ridiculous it sounds.
I ended up telling my husband about it a couple of years later and then tonight I was thinking about it again and started looking up things about it. I never even considered the laser pointer had anything to do with it at all.
I even tried telling myself I was seeing after effects or something like when you stare at the sun. But I know I saw it.
For other people like me who have seen something like that and don’t want to tell anyone, or even after experiencing it for yourself still don’t even really believe half of the ufo stories or descriptions you hear about... that’s why I’m posting this. I still don’t believe in aliens. Not sure what I saw, but that’s how it went down.
Cat toys are serious business!
Thanks for this thread, even if no one replies. It makes me feel less crazy.
