what is really creepy tho , and seriously interesting at the same time .. is the stuff people wont put out in public for fear of being labeled weirdo or nutter or accused of being on drugs
When I drive thru the night at times , I have very often been aware of kind of a light play over the bush at the sides of the car , kinda like some one shining a torch around looking at random stuff , not a really bright beam tho , but it will show up stuff that is seriously far away at times even still . I like it because it makes me feel less lonely in those long hours somehow , when its happening , I can literally drive all night and not get tired or feel lonely even tho we are the only people literally for maybe hundreds of kms in any direction .
I gave a tow to a guy recently who was stuck out in a desert area , we drove till about 2am before we camped . Id have been happy to go all night , I was in the zone , the wind was gone , the heat of the day was gone and my truck was running happy , and we were feeling good watching the reflections of light out over the plains . its a feeling like traveling with friends .
Next day , the guy we towed took me aside and asked if I ever seen things like ufos or anything ... I asked why . he asked me if I was aware of the balls of light that fly in from over the scrub and travel along next to my car , then zoom off out over the scrub again , like flying headlight beams was as best as he could describe it .
I just grinned at him and said yes , he was kinda relieved , and kinda even more spooked at the same time about that .
two hundred years ago , the same thing would have been no big deal , just spirits , nothing unusual to see here ... nowdays tho .. yeah it freaks people out big time .
When I was working in mine maintenance , servicing the remote outback mines in WA and the NT , there was one section of road I used to love hitting at night , youd see a pair of headlights coming toward you , on a narrow stretch of dirt road . They disapear into a hollow , and the natural reaction is to move over to allow room when we pass ..
the fun part is tho , the lights appear behind you , as if they are coming up out of a hollow ... but you never pass a vehicle , and the road is dead flat and straight , no hollow , also to make it more fun .. only one or two people see the lights , the rest of the crew dont ..
The road is bitumen now and realigned so that you dont pass that section anymore .. it was always good value to see how the new guys would react tho back then , again the usual reaction .. there is something out there that is not explained in scientifically acceptable terms .. I used to make a point of taking them aside after and asking them to think about what kind of attention they would bring to themselves and their family if they made a big deal about it when they got back home . Im not totally uncaring
there is actually a lot that we cannot explain in scientific terms .. its always been there , but we dont deal with it now we live in our self made concrete jungles near as much as our ancestors did when they lived with the earth , not living from exploiting it .
but seriously , the stuff that people are not talking about but probably would like to if they didnt have that fear of losing face or being ridiculed , or are not really able to believe it happened tho it did and it happened to them .. thats the most interesting to hear about .
