The event was witnessed by a 53 year old man, who lives in Bern, North Carolina. He states that a couple of months back, he was asleep on the couch in his living room. He awoke about 2:00 AM. Looking into the hall that joins his living room, he was startled to see a bright light. This light seemed to fill the entire hallway. He could see many spheres of various colors, inside the light. The manifestation made no sound.
The man at first thought he might be imagining the light and spheres, but it lasted quite some time, and he knew he was awake. Moreover, his Labrador dog, who was sleeping by him on the couch, got up and began moving toward the light. The hair on his back stood up, as if he was ready for a fight. As he neared the light, he stopped, and began backtracking. Soon, the light disappeared.
After the strange phenomenon ended, the man checked throughout the house, and there was nothing amiss. This is the only time this happened. He is hoping it was a one time event.
How can this strange event be explained?

Oh my God what an unbeleivable strange weird and twisted story..are you for real? is that the best story you could find that merits shedding ink..and by the way ..it is called a “…months ago” and not “…months back” that, of course, if you are a writer and not only just taking
I am glad someone else came forward with his story. As astounding as it seems these things can happen as I was also a witness although it was not the same description as mine. Where these things come from and where do they go we can only guess..probably some dimension that runs alongside us.
Why in the middle of the night? Possibly because it is the best and quietest time to have a look round at us. They do not knock at the door to come in.. these things just appear and dissapear. Your just left to carry the memory.
I only saw this the one time but there isnt a night goes by when its quiet that I look pensively around my room remembering it.
I can explain this. The part of the story that Billy left out is that this guy had been up all night pounding shots of Jagermeister before he passed out on the couch. He “woke up” in a drunken stooper and saw a bunch of lights. Cause of lights: Jager.
Faten, if you don’t like it here go to some other blog and read their stories. I for one happen to like the stories that Billy posts.
Unfortunately there will be people who cannot believe.. unless they awaken in the night themselves and behold something before them that is just not of this world. The experiencer is left with the memory and no material proof to produce as these things are not solid or earthly. Just remember what I say as one day it may happen to you or someone you know.
I thought the story was very interesting. This could have been not just something other worldly or it could have been spirits. Spirits are all around us and just because you see a floating light or sphere it doesn’t always mean UFO. I believe tremendously but keep in mind how old earth is and how many humans have passed on and how many spirits there really are. The man in this story could have sensitivites to spirits. Always stay open to all the possibilities.
Thanks, Billy, for another interesting post…
Billy,
It is an interesting story because I presume the gentleman who contacted you and shared his story wants no notoriety, and so quietly and “anonymously” contacted you with it. He doesn’t claim in your account of his story what he saw, and in fact he, himself, seems to be trying to make sense of it (e.g. he notes that it lasted too long to be a dream, he thought to be sure that yes he was in fact awake, he noted his dog got up and went to it, the dog’s defense mode appears to have kicked in and he backed off of it). In other words, the gentleman who experienced this isn’t claiming “aliens”, “ghosts”, “angels” or anyone in particular was there. He just explains what he saw.
One last thing: it is interesting to note, whether you believe them or not, that statistically (e.g. the Hudson Valley sightings of the early ’80’s) reported alien encounters occur between 2a.m. and 5 a.m. This man woke up around 2 a.m.
I admire his sharing his story with you, Billy, because it isn’t easy to be the person who experienced this; and I admire that you simply shared what you were told, without imparting your judgment, and in fact, you simply asked us, in this post, what we all think.
Could it have been some kind of static or even electric phenomenon, could it have been a light reflection off of some crystal in his living room that he’s never noticed light refract that way off of, before…etc.? Of course it could be any one of probably tens of natural phenomenon. That’s the point - he doesn’t know. Just because we don’t know what this man and his dog saw, either; doesn’t mean that we should disparage him or you. Arlene
Faten, ease up on Billy.
An orb encounter, eh? These are actually more common than reported, and are the subject of study by at least one researcher.
I’ll try to dig up the link. I don’t pretend to understand it but these are though to be sort of ’scout’ type things, controlled seemingly intelligently, and evidence some degree of responsiveness to thoughts. They can be detected by looking for heat changes. The experiencer has been scouted now, for some reason, its possible he’s about to have more than a few odd experiences now.
“fortunately there will be people who cannot believe.. unless they awaken in the night themselves and behold something before them that is just not of this world. The experiencer is left with the memory and no material proof to produce as these things are not solid or earthly. Just remember what I say as one day it may happen to you or someone you know. ”
Shirely is so full of hot air. She talks like she knows something here that the rest of us don’t know. Complete nonsense. You wouldn’t happen to be Shirley MacLaine? People make all sorts of things up all the time, that’s why you can’t believe most of what you hear Shirely. The rest of the time it’s a misinterpretation. Since he was sleeping, maybe he was experiencing a hallucination related to sleep paralysis. If he did see something perhaps it was something we couldn’t even speculate on. However it probably was something explainable if indeed it did happen and this isn’t just a story.
Hi, I think that Scott and Faten are just having one of their bitchy days and the wife won’t listen to it so we have too, haha.
I loved the report Billy, I’ve heard of a lot of different things but nothing quite like this, although there’s so much we don’t know of in this world and beyond…I had an experience when I was about 34, I was living in L.A., CA and going home from work, I felt a cold chill come over me and a huge black cloud moved over me and the car and towards the east coast, it gave me a very surreal feeling and kinda scared me too. A week later I was home and got a call from my Mom, my aunt and uncle were both killed at once, they had been run over by a car crossing the street. The first thing I thought of was the black cloud that graced me, so yea’ there are some pretty weird things in this world, most we have no idea what it is or what for it is. The older guy had a very neat experience and I would love to have something like that happen to me. There are some stories that can’t be made up and this is one of them. It could of been spirits, it could of been alien, like a probe sent to gather information…they do have these and they come in a lot of different forms depending on their intelligentence and how long they have been in the Universe, I’ve heard of anything from a small craft to a small metal ball or more than ever I’ve heard of glowing balls of light; I suppose its more like an advanced video recorder sent to gather info and soil and air samples. Life is amazing.
Dear Scott,
At issue here – on this blog – is not the recall, or perception of an “older gentlemen”, it is the compendium of evidence that exists pointing to the existence of a phenomenon that is not understood but is clearly real. Please understand that even hearsay evidence IS evidence. And at issue here is not the 95% of events that can be explained away with possibilities at best; but, it’s the 5% that can not be explained.
Honey Rider, you and shirley should get together, you talk the same nonsense.
“the existence of a phenomenon that is not understood but is clearly real. ”
Billy is talking about one story here, and I don’t see how anyone could say it’s real. I think if that this guys sighting maybe a hallucination related to sleep paralysis.
“Please understand that even hearsay evidence IS evidence.”
Unbelievable!
” it’s the 5% that can not be explained”
More pseudointellectual nonsense Shirley. The 5% that can’t be explain doesn’t mean that it’s something spiritual or has anything to do with UFOs. It just means it can’t be explained. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence to back them up. The scientific method should be used to figure out unexplained sightings. But some people just want to believe in spiritualism or UFOs no matter how what. You’re one of these people shirley.

I suffer from sleep paralysis. Though I have learned to somewhat control it, I’ve never witnesses anything strange in my 35 years.
I want to beleive, and am very jealous of those that have witnessed the unexplainable.
What proof do you have, scott, that these people are displaying “nonsense” or “full of hot air” or this is “made up”. You may have convinced yourself of this but I think maybe you should present some evidence that they are wrong, just like you may want evidence that proves this event was real. And if this DID happen…then uhh…yea, there would be an explanation beyond our means of understanding. Anything that happens in the physical world is explainable, maybe not by modern science.
“What proof do you have, scott, that these people are displaying “nonsense” or “full of hot air” or this is “made up”…. you should present some evidence that they are wrong, just like you may want evidence that proves this event was real”
No Dave, it works the other way around. We live by science not by fantasy. Everything we do or have done can be figured out. Otherwise we could just say anything and you wouldn’t need to prove it. I could say I’ve been given a gift by angles and can fly. It maybe true but I can’t just say it and walk away. I’d have to prove that assertion since it doesn’t make sense when we look at science. I will repeat what I said above…Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence to back them up. The scientific method should be used to figure out anything that seem not be be intuitively true. In other words if something seems odd we figure it out by science and we don’t make up fantasic stories based on imagination. Everything that is paranomormal (ghosts, ufos, esp, monsters) must be figured out by the sciences before we can say they’re true. Otherwise they’re just worthless stories.
worthess stories maybe to you…
Sheesh, go get involved in something you actually enjoy…Captain Bring-down.
Dear scott,
You’re trying way too hard in your attempts to sound intellectual. You’re arguments are akin to those of a thousand years ago where people argued the earth was flat. They didn’t have the science to prove it was round or that other planets even existed. Likewise, we don’t have the science today to explain the ufo phenomenon. But you’re logic, that ufos and other like phenomenon can’t and should not be considered real until they are proven by science is itself not logical. Your argument is counter circular. It’s not illogical to say X exists but Y can’t explain it where X are ufos and Y is science; but, it is illogical to say X doesn’t exist until Y explains it – you can only say that if we know all the Y there is to know and we have at least one person who fully understands all the Y. We don’t know all the science and there isn’t any one person who even comes close to fully being able to understand any branch of science fully. Einstein himself made humungous blunders. Surely, you’re not suggesting you’re smarter than Einstein?
