This is so weirdNineBerry wrote:After moving to a new city, I noticed walking past a dentist's practice. I went in to ask for an appointment for checking my teeth. I was asked whether I would have time right now. I had. So I went in to the dentist. He found a cavity and offered to do a filling right away. So I had the filling done.
Some months later I again went to the same street for another check up and couldn't find the dentist. So I looked for another dentist. And the new dentist as well as several other dentists since assured me that I don't have a single filling in my teeth.
Mine is classic ufo sighting. Was walking home from work in SF one night, looked up into the sky and saw four bright orbs hovering in a vibrating way. I was transfixed. One of them suddenly shot away and then the other three behind it. I'll never forget it but I'll probably never know what it was.

Maybe my dentist flew away in one of these orbs, as well...

One night out in the Oz desert, some friends and I observed something very similar - several bright moving lights, that appeared to change direction at right angles without slowing down. I haven't got any explanation...rachelbean wrote:This is so weirdNineBerry wrote:After moving to a new city, I noticed walking past a dentist's practice.

When I was a kid and lived in Hong Kong there was a flash in the sky one day. A lot of people noticed it but for a few days nobody knew what it actually was. No internet and even ordinary news took a while to get around.
When the mystery was finally solved it turned out that it was the testing of the largest ever hydrogen bomb by the USSR. And we could see a flash from it well over a thousand miles away.
Spooked the hell out of me.

Yep, exact same thing. Went from hovering strangely to sudden right angle take off/disappearance. Still drives me crazy!JimC wrote: One night out in the Oz desert, some friends and I observed something very similar - several bright moving lights, that appeared to change direction at right angles without slowing down.

My dad would see lights over a golf course in Florida several days in the same place. No airport nearby.
Once the aliens figured out it was just guys hitting white little balls they lost interest.

I drove an old Volvo for about 25 years. Late in it's life it developed a quirk that the mechanic couldn't figure out. The wipers would come on when I made a left turn, and stop when the turn was complete. My kids were little and I would amuse them by driving in a circle to the left. They would laugh and laugh as we went around with the wipers going.
This lasted about 6 months, and never happened again while I had the car.

The Volvo was possessed by the spirit of a dead Swedish left-wing politician...

I had a car sharing car one day where the volume of the radio would start going up randomly while driving...

Car things are usually rotten wires or water causing shorting.
