I know I am new to the forum, so I want to explain a critical reason that I decided to explore my faith. I have read the Bible previously through a Christian upbringing in church school, followed by Jesuit HS, and Methodist uni. However, I have more recently dived into the book, the many texts, translations, and stories throughout regions and time. The reason ultimately is because of a series of experiences. I would like to share this one now, from December 14, 2024.
Before the event, we had heard a distant horn sound. I thought it was a car alarm, but after some time I came to realize that it felt more like a fog horn, or something louder and also more distant than a car alarm. We live on a hill, so it could be from further away and it sounded like it was from the sky, from our perspective at least. However, that was hours before an event, and at the time it did not feel like anything. It's only looking back that it felt strange, but it always sounded like a loud, droning horn that we couldn't quite place.
The sky was perfectly blue, and honestly there was not a cloud in sight at all. However when I went outside for a cigarette, I noticed a very long and narrow dark cloud going across the blue sky, almost perpendicular or to picture it, above us in the sky cutting across our street. It seemed to go on for a long time, and the sky was otherwise completely blue without a single spot of white or grey or black cloud anywhere. Nothing. Completely blue except for this one elongated cloud.
After some time though, there appeared to be brighter spots in the clouds. It almost seemed as if they were moving with the clouds, but some pulling away or ahead at different speeds than the cloud and yet also staying as a group, in the general movement of the long black cloud stream. Interestingly the cloud stream did not move away from us, instead acting more like a current of cloud, or as if the wind was perfect for it to move forward like a train rather than sideways like a wall of cloud.
The first shocking experience was when one of the white "specks" or blobs moved out of the cloud, across the *entire* visible horizon, stop on a dime, and then fly back, all in under a couple of seconds. It was noticeably maneuvering in a way that defies my scientific understanding of physics & propulsion. For months I studied this from an engineer's perspective, and truly there is no answer. I can promise you that what we saw was no plane or illusion or balloon. It was as-if a star could move at the speed of a laser pointer against the wall of a small room, but across the entire horizon and atmosphere of Earth's hemispheres...... in seconds with 0 acceleration & deceleration time for full start & stop maneuvers at 90 to 180 degree changes, with 0 seconds of transition time. Unexplainable.
However, as soon as we could even fathom the insanity of what we had just seen, the real experience began. We didn't see where it came from, but saw it from afar. A small cloud, much darker and smaller and round-ish (for a puffy random cloud that is). The cloud was seemingly zipping across the sky in our general direction, or towards the grey cloud stream above our house & a few around us. One other thing that again, didn't seem as significant at the time, was two birds flying now as well. We do have peregrine falcons and other birds of prey that fly around our area, so this was not abnormal, but notably the scene in the sky was a brightened blue, beautiful sky, the elongated grey cloud stream, birds, and this distant single cloud flying towards it all.
The small cloud appeared to zoom up to the cloud stream and then move parallel to it. After just a couple of seconds, the cloud appeared to dissipate quickly as if it was disturbed, and it was. Clear as day, we saw a small sphere with stubbed sides fly out of what was a grey cloud, and in the same direction. It appeared to fly freely, without wind resistance, and without rotating or seeming to use any form of wing mechanics. There was no visible propulsion. You could describe it as appearing to stay completely fixed on its axises, facing us in the same way at every depth and altitude, moving around in straight lines but moving away and closer to us too. It almost seemed random in the way it moved towards us, and always maintaining the same degree of axis or face towards us as it moved further away overall and then off into the distance.
The sphere of it appeared almost bronze-ish, but this was hard to say at the time because of the sun's reflection off of it too. It did appear to have a gold/bronze tint to it, with the two "stubbed" side parts being much much darker.
I figured this was the appropriate forum to post this because I've spent a long time thinking about the technology required for it, but also the spiritual aspects of it. I've thought about this day almost every day since and don't think I will ever forget it. I still don't know it's true meaning, but I am hoping to explore it more. I have not exaggerated or made up any part of this. I almost wish I had or could forget some of this. Ultimately we know that what we saw was spectacular and profound.
