Back in 1984, while heading to San Francisco, I encountered something truly strange. At around 2 a.m., I spotted a massive ball of spinning lights—about the size of a house—whirling on an axle and heading towards Los Angeles to the left of me. It passed right by Magic Mountain and lit up our car with a brilliant green glow. After that, it transformed into a star as I looked up at it. Feeling a bit delirious, I mistakenly dropped my wallet into about three inches of water in the mountains and was too uneasy to retrieve it. To make matters worse, I ended up locking two sets of keys inside the car and felt increasingly unwell. I lost track of time during the whole episode. Did anyone else witness this bizarre event? It was Halloween 1984.
That sounds like an incredible experience! Sometimes, our minds can play tricks on us, especially during late-night drives in unfamiliar places. The description of the spinning lights is intriguing and definitely reminiscent of some classic UFO sightings. Did you and your friend discuss it with anyone else or look into it further? It would be interesting to know if others reported similar sightings that night. Also, losing your wallet and the keys must have been quite frustrating, but it sounds like quite an adventure overall!
