For real, I really want to hear all the wacky and potentially true conspiracies Hexbear users have. It would be nice to have a conspiracy spot on the internet that isn't antisemitic as well.

    I have a very hard time believing it but that's only because I've never had any paranormal experiences myself. For example, I worked a night shift where all the employees swore there were ghosts, but I never saw anything, even when I tried.

      I've told my UFO story here before. I think at most it was an unmanned probe. But I definitely believe something has come snooping.

          I saw something that appeared to approach the speed of light. It moved in the way theoretical descriptions of near light speed motion would look. It was also a shifting mass of color I cannot adequately describe.

            but both were over 20 years ago

            Why do all of these sightings seem to happen such a long time ago? It seems to me like our memory is messing with us. Plus there are loads of drugs that affect memory and your brain, along with things like schizophrenia. It's reasons like this why I'm so skeptical of the paranormal.

            Edit: also yay! thank you for your story sorry if i'm a killjoy

              No worries I think about that too but the events have remained clear in my mind since that same day when my uncle and I shared almost identical stories.

            Have you ever heard about the Ariel school incident in southern Africa? (Not South Africa but I can't remember the country offhand) Pretty similar description of 3 orbs of shifting color just appearing in the sky, though the Ariel school incident had them land and try to communicate with ~60 witnesses.

            Though I don't think I have enough info to say for sure there wasn't a non-alien explanation for this, I did once see a ball of light just appear in the sky as I was driving at night, watch it move around a bit at very high speeds and weird angles, then flash red before disappearing. My sister was in the passenger seat and my now-roommate was in his car a bit further ahead and we all saw it

              That all sounds extremely similar to what I saw.
