A UFO sighting and my journey back to psychedelics.


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

It has been a long time between posts. This might seem like a bit of a weird way to reintroduce myself to the forums, but I am on somewhat of a journey to understand a recent experience I had with a UFO.

 

I say UFO, although this was the culmination of a period of 'experiences' that included dreams with a very tangible essence to them, UFO sightings, and recalled memories.

 

This period ended with a sighting in Colac in Victoria at my mum and dad's. I was locking up the shed at approximately 6:30-6:45 at night; it was just past dusk when, standing at my car, I looked up and saw two lights next to each other—not too dissimilar to the collision lights of a plane's wings. Watching it, the two lights (one white, one blue) grew brighter and brighter and joined to become one larger, orange, golden-tinted light. It reached its peak brightness, dimmed down to become the two lights again, and faded completely, leaving me unable to see it anymore.

 

I checked flight radar, but nothing was logged. I know some planes fly without transponders, but it was a quiet night, and this thing was silent. The night was still, and there was minimal atmospheric noise such as traffic, wind, etc.

 

Stranger still was how I felt in the preceding days and weeks. It felt like a genuine mystical experience. I felt as though I had been through the most profound and pure mushroom experience of my life, mixed with the euphoria of MDMA. I felt connected to EVERYTHING. I was (and am still) so grateful for my life.

 

Researching UFO experiences, I've learned that people often report feelings of elation. Naturally, this led me down a rabbit hole of podcasts, interviews with researchers, experiencers, investigative journalists, etc. The rabbit hole goes deep.

 

It led me to the audiobook of DMT: The Spirit Molecule by Dr. Rick Strassman. Rick speculates about the possible connection between the UFO phenomenon and the experiences reported by the study participants. Although he was unfamiliar with the phenomenon at the time, he says that having prior knowledge may have helped contextualize the experiences of the participants. He references John E. Mack, who worked with abductees. John’s work in particular with the witnesses of the Ariel School event is worth exploring, even for the die-hard skeptic. I love Ricks writing style and many of his theories and insights into this molecule really resonate. I'm waiting on his book DMT and the Soul of Prophecy. Maybe it's nothing but his idea of theoneurology, to me, feels like it's right on the money. I'm excited to read it.

 

Having my own experience, I find it interesting that it has brought me back into the fold of psychedelics—those plants and fungi that initially helped me develop my sense of spirituality and my place in the cosmos. I was always of the attitude that DMT would find me when I was ready. But now I think I'm ready to take the initiative and explore what this molecule has to offer me, with the hope that I might be able to learn more about these experiences, why I'm having them, and if there is indeed an extraterrestrial aspect to them.

 

So that is more or less why I'm here: a rekindling of my interest in psychedelics as tools for spiritual development and personal growth. I'm wondering how I would go about finding an Ayahuasquero in Australia, or a shaman who works with plant medicine? I thought this would be a good place to start, perhaps someone here can point me in the right direction in terms of websites, communities. When's the next Entheogenisis conference? I do understand that there might be a concern for the mods here that I am essentially asking for guidance on finding a medicine who's legal status in this country is still a work in progress so please, let me know and I'll edit it out asap.

 

I'm happy to answer any questions about any of my experiences. To be honest I'm still in the midst of processing it all and integrating it all. Which again is where I think I might find some assistance in Aya. 

 

It's good to see this little community still ticking along 🙏

Interesting experience.

 

Has anyone else been seeing the large drones that fly in grid patterns lately? I first saw them pop up about 5 years ago, and they have been flying in a grid more or less every day since. They appear at night just as it gets dark, and I have seen them until 4AM, but presumably they remain until it gets light enough and they are not camouflaged with the stars.

 

It sounds completely insane but everyone I've pointed them out to agrees they are large drones with, presumably, large IR cameras that reflect the moonlight. They appear superficially like stars until they start wobbling in the wind and moving in lines.

Could it be Lord Elon's StarLink satellite train? What a blight on the night sky.

I've now watched 2 documentaries based on original post. The Phenomenon (2020) and The Ariel Phenomenon (2022). Both captivating (the latter featuring John Mack, the Harvard researcher mentioned above). Some of the Zimbabwean elders describe a cultural history of observing UFOs.

Not the starlink satellites?

 

 

Nah, not the Starlink, although it was crazy when I saw that and had no idea what it was 😄

i do a lot of astronomy, so watch the sky a lot...

 

i noticed two, new types of what i believe are satellites.

 

type 1, allways appear from the same location in the sky, with maybe a few minutes intervals (never took time)moving the same path.

sometimes more than one is visible.

 

type 2, very difficult to spot maybe a spy satellite, as they a stationary (allways remaining at the same location) they shine like a star of 3 mag, for maybe 30 seconds,

and than stop shinning. after a few minutes they start to emit light again. visible, even late at night (maybe saw at 11 pm?).

 

satallites are visable because the sun shines light on them, that makes those lights of my type 2 very puzzling.

 

saw once an, ufo as a 14 year old, cylider shape with round "windows".
