It happened about 24 years ago; Oct/Sep of 1980.

(I'd imagine there's a language filter so I'll clean up the dialog.)

It's about 11:45 pm on a Friday, heading home with my buds Kevin and Ed.

Kevin: "What the folk is that?"

Ed: "No sheet, what is that?"

I was driving and it was on their side of the car (Kev in front, Ed in back). It was light, seemed to be in or above the woods and moving towards us at a rapid rate.

Since I was driving, I looked back at the road and thought; is there a house? no - is there a road (two track)? no. At that moment everything when white. I mean a bright blinding light, white.

It seemed like seconds, I glanced back and .... nothing. Kev and Ed looked pretty stunned but .... nothing. When I was turning back to the road I glanced at the clock and it was 2:45 am on Saturday.

Twelve years later ....

I had started to think about the incident and ran into Kev. According to him it never happened.

A week or so later I was working late and decided to go to the bar where was Ed was cooking. Ordered and told the bartenderess to tell Ed that "white" was here. He came out, said hi and then went back to cook my food. When it was done he brought it out, sat down and we started to talk. I got straight the point.

He said he had been thinking about it and confirmed it was something none of us had ever talked about (and he was excited to talk about it). What he added to the story was that his mom woke him up the next day at about 12:30 (he had to be to work at 2:00). When she did, she told him not to stay out so late. He replied he was home about midnight, she countered with 3:00 am. He didn't believe her. I confirmed that he didn't get home until 3:00 am and asked if he saw anything other then the light. He said no.

-- I can give more details but that's the baisics.

One more thing. It happened in 1980. The first time I thought about it was 1992. This is the second time the events of that night have concerned me. It's 2004. 12/12

I sure would like more details....once the details have been given i would like to ask some questions? if thats ok?

///////////////////////
In short -- my own experience(s) not-with-standing -- Time DILATION seems to be encountered during CE III and CE IV [Close Encounters]. When a very STRONG Electro-magnetic field surrounds the area - there seems to be a distortion of time. This does NOT necessarily mean that someone was "taken" for the amount of time loss. Some aircraft flying over the so-called "Bermuda Triangle" have also experienced time displacement. Landing at a nearby airport with ALL watches and clocks out of sync with base time. Sometimes as much as twenty minutes (like a commercial airline that landed in Miami years ago).

On the other hand .... "Abductions" as they are called ... occur far more often than originally reported. Records (of most cases) seem to indicate that these "abductions" run through several generations of a SPECIFIC FAMILY. perhaps a genetical interest here. My own included (my brother and several cousins) -- all beginning at age FIVE.

There are also cases when a person's life has been RADICALLY ALTERED from this experience. This whether through personal choice - or for some reason his/her fate changes. In either case - a radical change takes place. This may also include personal health and relationships. Shortly after my own experience (mentioned in another Thread) I suddendly had Military Orders for White House Duty in 1976 [White House Communications Agency] - Field Unit.

Experiences SHOULD be shared with objective people (better they SHARE COMMON EXPERIENCE) -- any counseling should be objective and NOT "lead" on like some were. The Government may also have a hand in much of these situations - for reasons I am NOT at liberty to disclose [My DEBRIEF Promise when I was diascharged]..

You are NOT ALONE in these experiences ... but I am afraid that there is FAR MORE to this than most people dare to understand.

The information you just presented is nothing new to me, i was asking for more details on whitelights experiences...

////////
I know about that "white light" - and I will be specific at a latter time ... for there are many complex things involved.
NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES run a strong parallel (as does the relationship between ET's and what we call death of itself). To understand one must try to think in FOURTH Dimensional terms. With that in mind -- we must ALSO put down our rulers and STOP trying to measure the distance to the end of the Universe. There is none.
Whether you dabble in Severe Quantum Physics - or remain a student - ALL of us has within us a "secret" knowledge that begs to come out.
The "white light" is generally a membrane, or barrier that we must cross to be PHYSICALLY adept to the increased vibratory effect of interdimensional crossing.
(HUH? )
OK -- It signifies the "crossing" barrier between our time/space contuum - and a rhealm that is far more REAL than this material existance we call "Our Time". Time is NOT linear (as we accept) - but has links scattered in multi-dimensions with countless possibilities for EVERY action we take - leading to every result ad infinitum.
One action leads to infinite possibilities of reaction. A nuclear type chain reaction with no end.

Now as far as ET's, "greys" - or some of the OTHER entities who happen to be "visiting us" -- it is a beam of light that allows the molecular structure of the body to ADAPT to the severe electro-magnetic involvement/mental and physical duress that we will experience in proximity to any .... contact. To "them" our bodies are "containers" which holds the vital life force (soul or spirit if you will) - and to apply that light is to allow our INNER self to be aware and conscious of the vibratory effect that we must endure for that very contact. EACH CELL in our body - each atom is separated by a gulf - the white light decreases density to the extent that material substance can be released from physical restraint.

As with DEATH - nothing but a transformation of vibrations where our "self" begins to adapt to the changes that must take place to allow our existance into another dimensional level. Like tuning a radio or changing channels on TV -- that change is necessary to RECEIVE the Cosmic Message that surrounds the entire universe.

Now -- as to HELL. So many misconceptions - and many religions use the threat of HELL to keep their flock in line. You follow that light and you will NOT be FOOLED into going to a place you do not deserve - but have been tricked into going by others with selfish intent. Hell is ONLY what we make of it to ourselves - our own personal ID (primal EGO) nightmare come to pass. Those who HAVE been there and have come back (NEAR DEATH) know of this. That light is also a beacon to the very inner soul. A direct link to the UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS. NO PERSON could explain what that is.

In short -- that white light is a signal that you are approaching a dimensional doorway and it leads to places we PHYSICALLY CAN NOT ENTER. Oft times many do NOT want to come back! Our bodies MUST be altered for that effect.
Hope that answers .. but I am sure I confounded many.

There really isn't a lot more too it.

From that night. Kev and Ed seemed excited/agitated. I got about a 10 second look and it. When I turned back to look at the road I begin think while they continued talking. My first thought was that it was someone out in the woods spot lighting deer. Two problems with that. No road. Many times brighter then a million candle power spot light. Then I thought it's a house but, at the time, there were no houses on that road.

It seemed to me that either it was a sphere of light or it was being projected down from above or in the tree tops.

The thing that sticks with with me is that I've never seen the floor of a woods that bright. Not even in the winter with the leaves gone, a fresh cover of snow and a bright sun.

It was some kind of light and it was heading directly at us.

It was at that point that everything stopped. It went white.

link to location: http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?ed=h1NCx...ew=1&name=&qty=

(you'll need to zoom out, the star is located ahead of where we were ...)

We were on Grange Rd heading East. When I stopped at the stop sign before crossing Terre Coupe I glanced at the clock. About half of the way from Terre Coupe to Red Bud Trail is when the event happened. After everything went white I looked in the direction the light was, or had been, coming from and there was nothing. Kev had sort of dazed look on his face but the only thing odd about that was that a second earlier he and Ed was talking and excited/agitated. As I turned back to the road I glaced at the clock and realized three hours had passed. Take a look at the location link. The road is a freaking mile long. How does one take three hours to drive that distance? I had slowed down a bit but I was still going about 40mph.

None of us spoke the rest of the way home, about 10 minutes.

At this point I pick up 12 years later. For some reason I had been thinking about that night. I ran into Kev and he claims not remember and when pushed states it never happened. So I go out of my way and hook up with Ed. When I bring it up he's excited. No only is it something that we've never talked about but it's something that he's never talked about; and until earlier with Kev, I hadn't talked about it either. My only question to him was "did you see anything besides the light"? No.

We continued to talk and I found out that his mom woke him up the next day a bit after 12 noon, he had to be to work at 2pm. She told him he shouldn't stay out so late, he countered with he was home about midnight. Until then, he didn't know that he didn't get home until about 3am.

About the road you were on, when driving down it does it kind of have the same scenery on both sides? Did you notice any kind of sudden change of scenery after the event? During the event did your car stop or cut out? Any electrical interference? Did you have any music playing?

Afterwards, what was your dreams like? Any strange markings on your body? Did you "feel" different, and "feel" as if your being watched? Any urge to go somewhere but you don't know where?

At present, describe what you were doing when you suddenly remembered it. Did you see or hear something that triggered you to remember?

Pretty much the same scenery on both sides. Mostly woods, a little flat and swampy near Terre Coupe but pretty much wooded on both sides.

No change of scenery at all. After I glanced at the clock and turned to look at the road, I looked in my side mirror and gauged that we'd traveled about 1000 to 1500 feet at approximately the same speed I was going but nearly three hours had elapsed.

No electrical interference but the radio was off. It would normally have been on and I thought that was a bit odd at the time but I didn't turn it on afterword. I was a bit in a state of shock.

I woke up in the middle if the night, about 6 weeks ago or so, logged on and started googling. Haven't found anything that is a close enough match.

What prompted you to wake up, a dream? Or did you just have a sudden urge to look up on the subject?

I want to repeat that this happened 24 years ago and was quickly forgotten. Twelve years later it was remembered and then quickly forgotten. Twelve years after that is now.

Hopefully this makes it past the language filter, an uncomfortable feeling of anal penetration and waking was the way of making it stop. I generally don't remember my dreams.

Ok that was a rather odd answer...

Back on the subject, you don't seem to be experiencing all the after effects of a abduction, but then again not all abductions are the same. Abductions on the road are all the same, yours doesn't seem to fit in. The best theory i can offer is a timeslip?

And that was an understatement.

That's what I've found. It doesn't fit.

There are a couple of possibilies. Kev was the target. He doesn't or chooses not to remember but Ed and I do but only every 12 years. The other is based on one of my original impressions, it was light (of some sort) which might explain the timeslip.

Ed spent more time looking at it but didn't see anything that could be creating the light. I noticed the time loss right away (time fetish) but he wasn't aware of the fact for 12 years.

Eh, guess I'll be back in 2016 asking again.

A Theory with the time-slip it could have been a white hole,the exact opposite of a black hole a white hole dumps stuff from elsewhere that was sucked into a black hole so i belive since black holes slow time around them a white hole would speed it up.

Never heard of a white hole before. My working theory is that it was energy of some sort. It was traveling a bit above the ground and traveling north by northwest and we were traveling east. At the point where our paths intersected was when the time jumped. For that brief instant, the point where we met the light, nothing existed. If you've ever been in a completely dark room where no matter how hard you try you cannot see anything, not shadow, nothing. This was like that but is was light instead of dark, white instead of black. Really pretty cool when you think about it.

Sounds cool wish it would happen to me.

This sounds like a book i read once, sadly i don't remember the name. A guy goes hiking across the dessert and finds a collum of light. He then trips into it and is sent into th future but he eventualy makes it back. Like i said it is sort of like your story except you were not thrown that far foreward.

It took me 24 years to get comfortable with it. Just glad the event only came up rarely and for a brief time inbetween. Now it's cool but 12 years ago it freaked me out all over again.
