blatman posted:I get sleep paralysis fairly regularly (maybe twice a month) and eventually you just sort of get used to it, like "oh I guess hands are gonna come out of the ceiling and hold me down while the room fills with eyes again tonight, that's not great" but with some practice you can snap out of it, the trick is to get really really angry I usually hallucinated a gray alien standing in the corner of the room back when I had sleep paralysis episodes. It didn't do anything, just stood there and watched. What a weirdo.

Something to keep in mind with sleep paralysis is that talking about it and thinking about it can cause it to happen if you've experienced it before, I'm pretty sure. The guy who did Room 237 about conspiracy theories and The Shining did a movie called The Nightmare about people who think their sleep paralysis is like them crossing into a hell dimension or allowing beings from another layer of reality to enter and feed on their psychic energy, and one guy used the fact that thinking about it causes it to happen as proof that he was in a Lovecraft situation where thinking about these transdimensional beings made them aware of him and caused them to come. To take this back to UFOs, sleep paralysis seems to be pretty obviously at the core of a lot of the more standard UFO abduction scenarios, doesn't it? Like right down to hearing a loud banging noise and feeling like you're flying up out of your bed.

I think 95% of abduction stories are probably just sleep paralysis experienced by somebody who doesn't know what it is and can't explain it. Just like 95% of UFO sightings are just the planet Venus.

If it is some kind of ALIENS! thing then it's really funny to me that rather than formally contact us or do things, they mostly just buzz around loving with us like we're monkeys in a zoo. Or maybe they're just on safari to our hosed up hell planet that we're creating and why would you talk to the insane monkeys down there.

It seems like watching military airplanes out over an ocean is the most boring poo poo you could do on another planet, unless you like freaking them out by flying around in front of them, but even then there have to be better pranks you could do.

Just like 95% of UFO sightings are just the planet Venus. Quite a few of the times I've experienced sleep paralysis involved floating out of my bed, unable to move. No matter what time I went to bed, it always seemed like the sun was setting outside when I had those dreams. It's weird as poo poo and I'm glad they stopped. I don't know what causes it, but I was extremely stressed out when they were happening

Aw, that Throwawaylien reddit guy deleted his account yesterday. I wasn't finished reading all his posts. There was one about how the aliens gave him porno magazines to help him jerk off that I wanted to get to, because I really wanted to know where they'd get porn magazines and if they were like old from the 70s or something. That guy was a poet.

I don't know what causes it, but I was extremely stressed out when they were happening I remember hearing somewhere that sleep paralysis is caused by most of your "time for sleep" systems engaging but not all of them - so partial paralysis to prevent sleepwalking, brain starts squeezing brain juice through your brain bits to purge the waste proteins you produced through the day - except you haven't actually lost consciousness so now you're stuck in bed unable to move except now you've got a ton of synapses randomly firing because your brain is rinsing out all the gunk while your still-conscious mind tries desperately to make sense out of the random information + growing anxiety because you can't get away from the lizards melting out of the walls or whatever

The silhouette I mentioned earlier was the only "entity" I ever "saw" during one of those dreams. There was a sensation other times of something being in the room or just outside it. Brains are weird. I'll quit derailing with my dreams.

sleep paralysis is just a situation where your muscles are deactivated as if you're dreaming, but you're semi-conscious. there's nothing otherworldy or UFOish about it, it just sucks when it happens especially if youve never experienced it before

Just heard of this sighting by way of the same meteorologist doing an interview with Podcast UFO and it's pretty fuckin spooky. The article kinda glosses over it but the craft formed a triangle that specifically pointed back at the radar station, which spooked the poo poo out of the guy because he wondered initially if they were military and if they were about to shoot a radar seeking missile at him. An officer on the ground saw them do this maneuver at the same time he did. Also they retreated to the only unfrozen area of lake michigan lmao Theres a youtube vid that compiles a couple(?) 911 calls, including him reacting to what he's seeing on the radar screen. His call (well, they called him) starts at 6:06. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYawV4ui53A&t=366s

imagine having a nice day, just flying around doing your normal test flights when your ew system starts freaking out because some rear end in a top hat won't stop painting you with his weather radar. its like a big truck or suv tailgating you with their brights on. super unnecessary, thanks jackass.

I get chills just thinking about watching radar contacts go "yeah we see u bitch hi" I don't know how he didnt poo poo himself Bideo James posted:lmao when he says "oh there it is, lets see uhhhh, ok it disappeared" and then he finds it again He was manually sweeping the radar between like milwaukee and chicago (or somewhere, either way far) and on one sweep one would be at milwaukee and on the next it would be at chicago. In like a second! Thats 400k mph lmao aaaaa e: instead of double post Bideo James posted:is there an easy way to listen in to air traffic locally https://www.liveatc.net/ Idk about radar, it would probably only be weather radar and all publicly available feeds probably are programmed to filter everything else out.
