The first time this has happened to me, last year around summer time, I fell asleep in my bed reading a book. But when I woke up (I think my eyes were already open) in the middle of the night I couldn't move and felt someone staring at me. I remember mumbling "Mom...mom" Her bedroom is right next to mine though I doubt she heard me or even knew I was awake and in this perdicument.
I could hear a loud dull vibrating sound (after this exprience I asked my mom if she heard anything strange last night but she didn't). After a few seconds of my brain trying to register what was going on I felt angry all of the sudden but still fearful. I thought that this person or thing that was staring at me, though I couldn't see them, should leave me alone. I'd fight them if I had to. I think I was so terrifed that I was in "the fight or flight" response.
Finally after about a minute I twitched my foot and could move again. The vibrating sound was gone and the pressure around me vanished too. I walked down our hallway and felt a strong urge to go outside. I did and looked around me for a moment, still feeling that something was watching me. I didn't feel very afraid at the time and passed it off to look up at the stars like I normally do when I'm out at night. I stop scanning the constellations to see a large, seemly close, and bright star that I didn't recgonize. It just stayed there for a few minutes and moved!
It first went straight then turned at about a 100 degree angle. At first I tought it was a comet or something but soon I figured that it COULD be a ufo. I'm still not sure to this day. I know that astriods, stars, or comets don't move that way.
Well the occurance of me awaking without being able to move has happened off and on. About every month or every week this has happened to me until this fall when it happened one day, the next then didn't happen at all. I read online that it was somethig called sleep paralysis but it usually happens once or twice in a life time. This has happened to me way more then once or twice! And I doubt people have the urge to go outside after they exprienced this!

are you sensitive to spirits or receptive to "things?"

I suppose I am. I mean there is this pychic trait that runs through my dad's side of the family and he says that I'm just learning of it. I might be sensitive to spirits but I don't know how to dstingush them from my regular life. Sometimes on a test at school I have no idea what the answer is and just uncoinsciously pick the right answer without giving much thought to it.
Sorry if pychic was spelled wrong

well im not necessarily asking if you do because I think you do. I wanted to hear a definite answer, and you are not quite sure. You did, however, give me the answer I was looking for by mentioning you have psychic ability run in your family. Thanks

Oh, sorry lol. I really am not sure since I don't know if it's a pyschic sense or not. Its almost like how some might not understand love or anger but feel it any way. It's...strange for me when I feel it because I'm not sure what it is exactly but I'm pretty sure I am sensitive to spirits. I guess I just have to test it some way.

there is a filipino supperstision (spelling?) about a witch that sits on your chest and holds you down so you cant move anything but your eyes. and if you try to yell to someone, you feel like your yelling but your not. i think its kind of the same in japan too. ive had this happen to me too when i was in high school, but didnt get what was happening. i tried to yell out to my mom to wake me up and i thought for sure i was yelling really really loud. anyway no one came to my room so i just brushed it off and went back to sleep. when i woke the next day i had an odd feeling of confusion. i asked my dad about it after i talked to my friends at school. my dad is full filipino and his mom is pretty supperstisious. but as soon as i aksed if he heard about some witch holding you down in your sleep he answered me "NO!" as if he was kind of mad, so it made me a little suspicious but i just let it go. he is one of the nicest guys, and doesnt believe in ghosts and stuff like that. but ive seen the sleep paralysis thing on the discovery channel. when you go into REM sleep your mind kinda just turns off a switch that controls your physical movements. if you have a quick sudden wake from REM your mind sometimes will not turn the switch on right away. it does this so that if you have a dream of running or something, you dont actually do it.

Sounds like sleep paralysis

and you can suffer it more than a few times, I've been suffering it on and off for 10 years.

OK if you r completely sure it wasn't a dream then you've been abducted.

If you are completely sure it wasn't a dream then you have to look at logical explanations before theorising on hauntings or abductions. Sleep Paralysis looks like the most plausible explanation here.

What you've described fits sleep paralysis exactly. Sleep paralysis wouldn't explain the UFO you saw afterward, but it explains everything else.
