My Sighting Experience
Time: Around 2000
Location: Singapore
In light of today’s significance for our community, I feel compelled to share my story. Unfortunately, I don’t have any pictures or videos to share because this event happened back in 2000, before the era of camera phones and smartphones. This encounter is what sparked my ongoing interest in UFOs and UAPs.
One evening, my friend and I were spending time together and found ourselves in an open field in my neighborhood. We were sober and out for a walk, without any cameras in hand. I remember commenting on how clearly we could see the stars that night, mused about the possibility that each star could host its own solar system, and pondered whether some of those planets might harbor intelligent life like ours. My friend nodded in agreement as we continued stargazing, but I couldn’t shake the thoughts swirling in my mind.
Suddenly, we spotted an orb of light that stood out from the rest of the stars—a bright, yellowish sphere that appeared much lower in the sky. We both sensed something unusual about it. I pointed and asked, “Is it moving?” The orb seemed to oscillate in small semicircles, lingering in place. We were at a loss to describe it. Drones hadn’t been invented yet, so we had no frame of reference for what we were witnessing.
My friend concurred, saying, “Yeah, it does seem like it’s moving.” I had this strange feeling that it wasn’t just us observing it; rather, it felt as if it was searching us out with curiosity. This lasted for 30 to 40 seconds before it zipped abruptly to the left. We exchanged incredulous glances, both of us wondering if what we saw had truly moved. Following its trajectory, we spotted it again—its movement was faster than anything we could comprehend.
We pointed out, “That’s it! That’s the same one!” It continued to hover in the same vicinity for about 20 more seconds before it shot off again, either upward or in another direction, disappearing almost instantaneously. We searched for it, but it was gone.
Even though I’ve lost touch with that friend, I’ve carried this experience with me to this day. Recently, after watching a News Nation video about people summoning UFOs and sharing similar stories, I wondered if we had unwittingly done something similar back then. While I don’t consider myself particularly intuitive or gifted, I know what I saw and how it made me feel.
I promised several people I would share this story eventually, and now I finally have. This truly happened, and I have nothing to gain or lose by recounting it. Whether or not anyone believes me is irrelevant, but I appreciate you taking the time to read my account.
Thank you for sharing your incredible story! It’s fascinating how such experiences can leave a lasting impression, especially when they challenge our understanding of the world around us. The sense of connection you felt with the orb of light adds a unique layer to the encounter. It’s interesting to think about how many people might have had similar sightings and how they shape our perspectives on life beyond Earth.
Your experience also highlights the curiosity and wonder that the night sky can inspire in all of us, even without the aid of technology like smartphones. It’s a good reminder that some of the most memorable moments happen when we least expect them, and they can spark lifelong interests. Whether or not we have concrete evidence, personal accounts like yours contribute to the larger conversation about UFOs and the possibilities they bring. Thanks for sharing, and I hope there are more opportunities for you to explore the skies!
