It's pretty great when something out of the ordinary happens to you. You can tell your friends about it, reminisce many years later, or even get your two seconds of fame online. What's not great is that people sometimes don't believe that this thing actually happened to you.
Well, this is the Internet, so even the most jaded crazy-story-havers can share their experiences. That's why when a netizen asked, "What is something you've done/seen/heard so bizarre that no matter how many times you tell it, nobody believes you?", over four thousand people came to reply. Do you have a relatively implausible story to share? Let us know in the comments!

I had a 3rd grade teacher who was awful to me, but absolutely adored my older brother and younger sister. My parents loved this lady but she was always mean to me for whatever reason. One day when we were doing multiplication tables I got a few answers wrong and she said to me 'that's okay, people still need their groceries bagged.' She said this to an 8 year old. To this day my parents nor my siblings believe me.

Had a teacher like this in 5th grade. Her son, who was in the same grade, was actually my best friend at the time so their family and mine knew each other really well. But for whatever reason she hated me and would pick on me at school, accusing me of stuff I’ve never done and then reporting all this to my parents who simply took her word because she’s the adult. Once she told my parents that I called a classmate a certain slang/bad word making him upset. Problem is although I’ve heard this word at that age, I’ve never in my life used it because it was generally an ugly word and I’ve never had any situation to use it in, even up till now. It was a straight up lie and I think my parents didn’t believe her 100% that time because they didn’t berate me much about it. Another time most of my classmates and I were outside in the hallway trying to read a notice pasted outside our classroom (we weren’t allowed to loiter around). She came in and blasted just me off in front of the whole class.

Maybe you were a "scapegoat?" Your siblings the golden ones and you the scapegoat. Happens a lot even in a professional setting. Not just at home. Just means your teacher was a narcissist. Narcissists have them all over. They need one to project (abuse) onto and the other to treat as their better extention of themselves (praise & adoration.)

When I was at High School in the late 1950's, the woodwork teacher would punch students in the kidneys if he didn't like the quality of their work. In case anyone wonders, Woodwork & Metalwork classes were for boys, the girls did Home Arts & Crafts. Edit to add: The metalwork teacher was the complete opposite, patient & helpful no matter how proficient or otherwise you were - I was hopeless in both classes

In 7th grade in 1981, girls and boys all did a quarter of each of the 4 subjects in coed classes. I was a serious student and didn't goof off in class. I finished and turned in my little metalworking box with soldered corners on Tuesday, with my name written in thick shop pencil. The teacher returned my box on Wednesday with "C+" written next to my name. I was disappointed and resolved to take more time on the next project. I was sitting alone reading a book at my assigned table as the 3 boys I sat with were working in the shop. One came and sat down and saw my box. He gave me a sob story and pressured me to let him turn the box in as his own. I told him my name was on it, he showed me it was easily erased. I said other things including that I didn't get a good grade, etc., but eventually subcummed to his pressure. I didn't sleep that night as I worried that life as I knew it was going to be over the next day when I was busted. All my worries were for nought. Ricky got an A- and I learned a few things: cheating feels horrible and perhaps the world was still sexist after all (l'm female). 43 years later and I've never cheated again and things on the sexism front have gotten better every decade. It was amusing to be underestimated by my engineering classmates in college who'd be floored to learn I was the curve buster when a dude next to me would see my test score. Not as amusing to watch a male colleague get accolades for suggesting the same thing I'd been shot down for saying the previous week. Actually, since about 2000, the vast majority of my bosses and coworkers have shown no signs of being sexist. Becoming a manager I was glad to learn that salaries were 100% based on experience and performance.

When I was golfing one day a father and son was paired with another single and I. We go out and I learn that it is the son's birthday. Which is cool because it’s also my birthday and wifey gave me a day off from the baby so I figured I’d get a round in.
I asked him how old he was since we seem about the same age. Turns out we were born on the exact same day. Crazy right? Well turns out getting to know them a little more as the day goes on… they’re from New York. Well I was born in New York.

When I had my third son, the patient next door's monitors was displaying in my room too, so the doctor and nurses could keep an eye on a couple of rooms at the same time. They mentioned (without disclosing any personal information) that the patient was having a rather long, hard time. Fast forward a few years, I ran into that actual woman at the mall. Our kids appeared to be close in age, and we started talking, and I found out we were in the hospital at the same exact time and she was the woman whose monitor I was watching from my room. I live in a city with over 2 million people but it sure felt like a small world that day.

Some of the entries and stories you'll read here are sardonic and humorous. But other people really shared some personal stories – some so crazy that their friends or loved ones refused to believe them. But if people don't believe you in real life, they're even less likely to believe you on the Internet, right?
Face-to-face interaction is different from communication online, and it impacts lying as well. Even in 2004, researchers studied the effect of technology on the ways we communicate and lie when socializing through different mediums. Interestingly, back then, they found that people lied most when talking on the phone and the least through email. Instant messaging and real-life conversations had similar rates of lying.

I didn't think it was that weird, but I went to a museum in London where they had a piano in the cafe area. A guy goes over to the piano, flexes his knuckles, and proceeds to play about half an hour of the most insanely elaborate pieces you've ever heard. Just absolutely knocks it out of the park. He finishes, stands up, takes a bow, and everyone in the cafe bursts into spontaneous applause. People are cheering. It turns out that he's a Russian concert pianist in town for a performance that weekend, and we all just got a preview of his show.
Everyone I've told about this finds it entirely unbelievable because everyone clapped. I just get the same old response referencing the meme, which I don't really get, because I'm pretty sure most people would applaud a concert pianist. Ah well.

I have no problem believing you, since you're not claiming to be the one who received the applause! I'm pretty sure I'd applaud a concert pianist-level performance, no matter where it took place. I must admit, reading the words "Russian pianist" makes me think of that weird guy on Youtube who unnervingly maintains eye contact with the camera while he plays; it's kind of funny.

18or 19 years ago. Flat tire on way to mid term. No spare available. Professor was really understanding, let me make it up. Working poor, so I was just going from beater to beater for a bit.
Come finals, another flat tire. Had left early enough to get to campus that I wasn’t worried, called tow truck for assistance. 1 mile behind me, on highway, I start seeing smoke. Turns out the tow truck on its way to me caught fire mid trip.
Professor didn’t believe me, had to retake the course.

Old story. Four college students missed taking a test and blamed getting a flat tire on the way. When they asked to take a make-up, the professor agreed. He put each of them in a separate room and gave them a two-question test. The first question was worth 20% and was quite easy. The second question was worth 80% and read simply "Which tire was it?"

I'm incredibly clumsy/oafish. To the point where a former classmate of mine would tell me, "If it was anyone else. I would not believe them in the slightest, but I just know this actually happened, because it's you."
He's one of the few who believes my next level stupidity.
Edit:
For reference:
I once spend 2 minutes on the phone talking to myself. Because in the time span of less than a minute I had forgotten I tried finding my mobile, used the landline to call myself, found my phone, saw I had a missed call. Called back to the caller (it said 'mom' as I was at home) and spend a good 2 minutes frustrated, because my mom wouldn't pick up the phone and annoyed the landline started ringing. Instead of making the connection I picked up the landline and switched between putting my mobile and the land line to my ear, frustrated that neither my mom nor the other person was replying to me...
I learned I am in fact a very patient person, but also incredibly blunt. I'm still recovering.

My mother did this a few years ago. Sat on the couch and called her home phone (instead of whoever she was meaning to call) and hung up cell to go answer the home phone, which stopped ringing so she sat down did it again, got up to answer but it stopped. Third time she realized what she was doing.

Okay, so my older, adult sister had her own landline at our house. But we would answer if it would ring. So, every single time I answered the phone, it would go like this: Me: "Hello?" Them: "Is Tracy there?" Me: "She's not here right now, can I take a message?" So, one day the phone rings and I just answer and immediately say, "She's not here right now, can I take a message?" The caller says, "What?" I realized a step had been skipped, so I asked THE CALLER, "Is Tracy there?" Then I realized what I said, and started laughing so hard I couldn't speak and just hung up the phone. It was actually my sister's daughter, who was maybe 9 years old. She looked at me funny for a few months after that.

David M. Markowitz revisited this study recently in 2021. With many more ways of digital communication at people's disposal nowadays, it's certainly interesting to see if the patterns have changed. Interestingly, the researchers found that people still lied the most through "synchronous media" – the phone and video chat.
When people interacted face-to-face, it was considerably high, too. Communication using the slower and non-recorded media had the lowest rates of the participants lying. Such forms of communication include texting, email, and social media.
All in all, the tendencies remained similar. People still say they lie more when having a real-life conversation and that they lie the least when their communication is recorded (e.g., email, text messaging.)

When I was around 8 I was sleeping on the couch and I awoke to two men breaking into our duplex house, all I could see was the shape of their bodies and one of them holding a small flashlight. I was so terrified I couldn’t move or speak, I honestly don’t think they seen me or knew I was on the couch. After they left I ran into the room of my foster parents and woke them up, they didn’t even get up, just told me to go back to bed because they didn’t believe me…well they woke up to a bunch of stuff gone and then they blamed me because I didn’t get them when the men were in the house so they called my case worker and gave me back to state, had to move to a new home after that where it was in my file that I was know to “steal” (never have) so every home I lived in after that had everything locked up.

When I was maybe 6 or 7 years old I went to work with my dad one summer day. There was an older man in the lobby area of the office waiting for an appointment. He started talking to me and asked what my favorite candy was. I told him it was this white nougat candy that had these little jelly bits in it. I don’t even know what is was called and it’s not a very common candy. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the exact candy I described. It seemed like magic. I took the candy but was afraid to eat it and a bit ashamed I accepted candy from a stranger. I gave it to my dad and was going to tell him what happened but he opened and ate the candy. I never told him but watched him closely that day in case it was poisoned or magic. He’s still alive so I guess the candy was fine.

When I was a 8 or 9 I was working my paper route when a wolf ran out of someone’s house and started coming towards me when the owner screamed at it and it turned around. I’d never seen a wolf in real life before but I also had never seen a dog that size that also looks like a wolf. I hauled a*s home and told my parents which were like “suuuuuure”. A couple weeks later it was in the news that those neighbors had been illegally keeping a couple half wolf bred dogs.
LakotaWolf (she/her) 1 year ago
Wolves (and high-content wolfdogs) are VERY distinct. They NEVER "just look like big dogs", not even "big huskies" or other wolfish-looking breeds. I got to meet human-raised wolves IRL at a sanctuary when I was a teenager. They are GIGANTIC. I had a 90-lb German Shepherd in the late 90s/early 2000s, and she was a big girl, but she still didn't hold a candle to an actual wolf. You KNOW when you've seen a wolf XD

You're thinking of american or eurasiatic wolves, but there are some other subspecies, notably the italian and iberic wolves, that are about as big as a german sheperd and a little smaller of, say, a Maremmano-Abruzzese Sheepdog.

Our old neighbours had a wolf and holy hand grenades was he huge. They claimed they "found" him as a puppy and thought he was a dog until he kept growing. Me and the other kids on the street were only like 10/11ish years old at the time so we didn't care how they acquired Otie (can't remember his full name, it was something native), we just thought he was awesome. Our street backed onto state forest land so we had miles and miles of trails to explore and play in the woods and the neighbours would let us bring Otie with us sometimes. Never occurred to me just how wildly irresponsible that was. xD Eventually someone ratted them out and they had to take Otie to a wolf sanctuary in the next state. He was the goodest boy.

I was in a waffle house in High Point North Carolina once at like 2:30 am with my friend, slightly buzzed our selves but not drunk by any means....this was like 1998.
A man walks in. Very drunk. He was probably in his early 40s.
He doesn't say a word. He just walks over to the jukebox, puts in some coins and plays "flowers on the wall" by the Statler brothers.
As the song started he stood on top of a table and sang every single line, quite well actually.....
When the song ended he dismounted the table and walked off into the night.
The only reason I know this absolutely happened is because my friend remembers it too.
It was honestly a spellbinding experience.

I am considered the wildlife whisperer in our neighborhood and also, I have birds. Because of that people come get me whenever an animal is in trouble. My neighbor had a tiny bird sitting on his front porch but they could not get it out because when it flew up, it would fly up under the overhang and it could not figure it out, and for that same reason they could not guide it to freedom. So I walked over the the bird, talking to it and it looked up at me and stayed where it was.. until the last moment where it realized "oh C**P this human that's so nice is coming at me!" and flew up.. I caught it like a softball, with both hands. Checked it out, making sure it was ok and released it.. it flew up on a low branch of a tree and yelled at me something of which I am sure it meant " You evil glamor witch! I trusted you and then - then- you TOUCHED me!! @%!^%. " I am like "yeah yeah sure.." The smaller they are the more expressive birds can be.

I did the same thing with a pidgeon! I was mid-stretch and a pidgeon flew by, I was closing my fist and I accidentally grabbed it. My friends saw it and they tease me about it because they thought I did it on purpose and they’re like “how do you ACCIDENTALLY reach up and grab a bird??”

I caught a little brown bat once in a Kmart store. Employees were chasing it with tennis rackets and I just reached up and plucked it out of the air with one hand. Took the poor little thing outside and let it go into the night.

I had a hummingbird mistake me for a flower one time. It was in the 1980s in Northern BC; I was working as a mining exploration geologist and was wearing a field vest with a dayglo orange stripe on the front. The bird just swooped down and hovered about an inch in front of the stripe for several seconds, then flew away. I've told this story several times but I'm not sure anyone believed me, but I swear it's the truth

On another occasion I played a duet with a beaver. I usually carried my harmonica with me on these trips; this time I was sitting on a fallen log in a clearing beside a creek, waiting for the helicopter to come and pick me up. To pass the time I played a few notes; then I heard a slapping noise behind me. It was a beaver swimming in the creek, slapping its tail. I played a few more notes; more slapping ensued. We continued to alternate like that for several minutes, until my ride arrived. Again, I'm not sure anyone believes me when I tell this tale, but it's the total truth.

I did this once when I was a teen. I stood under a bird feeder for a long while with my arm stretched up. The hummingbird stopped to eat and then I pinched his tail. I feel so bad about it now but I wanted to feel how soft he was. All I felt was his tiny heart beating really fast and I thought I would give him a cardiac arrest. I let him go right away and never did that again.
However, a study in 2016 explored the stereotype that "everyone lies on the internet." They found that people lie on social media in order to present themselves better. "They wanted to be cooler. They wanted to be more beautiful. They wanted to be sexier," one of the authors, Professor Michelle Drouin, told CBC.
"They wanted to give an appearance of a life that was better than the life that they were leading." However, many people also lie just because that's the standard – "everyone on the internet lies."

A woman disappeared in a single bathroom at a cafe I worked at. I’m not saying I believe in paranormal, I’m just saying what the f**k happened to that lady.
We were completely dead, outside was a snowstorm, not a single soul in the cafe besides my co-worker and I. I had a broken foot and was sitting on a stool at the register. One woman walks in, says she has to use the bathroom before she orders. We both watch her go into the bathroom. The only exit from the building requires that she walk directly in front of me to leave, so I would definitely see her if she left. I didn’t move from my spot the entire time, as I had a broken foot. No other customers came in during this whole thing. We start to wonder what’s taking her so long after a half hour or so, the bathroom is still shut and locked and the light still on. After 45 minutes, my co-worker knocks to check on her, no answer. After an hour, we decide to unlock the door ourselves because we are thinking the worst happened. When we opened the door, she just wasn’t there. There is no feasible way she could have left the building without me seeing her. The vent in the bathroom was far too small for any human to fit in. So where did she go? And it’s not just me hallucinating, my co-worker witnessed it all too. Still creeps me out to think about.
Edit: adding that I have not told this story on any podcasts, and the story is my own, not a copy. the bathroom did not have a drop ceiling. There was no back door that she could have gone through. The cafe was so small you couldn’t possibly miss a person walking through it to leave. Even if they did, the only door she could have gone out of had a loud bell that sounded any time the door opened. Even if this woman crawled on the floor past the counter, I would have seen her, I could see the floor from my spot. The bathroom door was very close and very visible from where I was sitting, there’s no way she opened it without me noticing. There wasn’t even any music playing in the cafe, no tv’s, nothing. I do not believe in ghosts, or any of that s**t, but this one will forever freak me out because I just don’t know how she managed to leave. Even the door was still locked when we finally went to open it. We had to manually unlock the door from our side.

Reminds me of my sister. She took a new job as a nurse in a nursing home. She saw an older woman walk into a bathroom and never come out. She goes to check, woman isn't in there. Sister thinks she just missed her coming out. But then it happened another night and another night and another. She finally mentions it to a coworker and coworker says, "Oh, yeah. That's Martha. She died last year. She apparently doesn't want to leave." Multiple people had witnessed this. (Sister's boyfriend also worked there. He never saw Martha, but confirmed that multiple people had claimed to have seen her.) That is the one story that makes me wonder if ghosts are really real.

I used to work in a warehouse building for a company that treated people like disposable objects. The place was beyond negligent with the working conditions. People had died accidentally there. Many people had odd stories. Toilets flushing on their own when no one else was there (not auto-flush toilets). Doors slamming on their own, lights coming on, etc…. At one point, I worked in a fairly remote part of the building on a regular basis. Quite often, I was there 2 hours early per managements request, working by myself. More than once, I looked up to see someone watching me from a distance, I thought it was a co-worker, but then remembered that they weren’t due for at least an hour. There was no one around. It happened more than once, creeped me the f**k out. A few of my co-workers had similar stories.

My hometown has a very unique looking bar. The signage and style are very iconic to the bar. The bar is also definitely not a chain as my family knows the owner well and he's run the place for the past 35 odd years. Imagine our surprise when on a trip in Thailand to find the exact same bar down to the unique way they spell the name of the place and all the signage. My family tells the guy back home about the place and he cannot believe an exact replica of his original concept bar exists.

I was walking to Target with my sister on my birthday, December 7, and told her about how bummed out I was that every year for the last three years, some random old guy (never the same one) would start a rant about how “kids these days don’t know about Pearl Harbor and have no respect…” Some would put a fun twist on it, like, “Do you know what day it is?!”
She was laughing. There was no way, and I just shrugged it off. These guys would be old guys on the way to Veteran centers, but clearly not that old. I’d be riding the bus, and usually, coming home from college classes, so maybe, I made an easy target for them in a convenient, captive audience on public transport. I have an extra bonus of being part Japanese, but my sister is blonde. So, fun times.
Later, we were in line at the store, and a bored old guy leans over and asks, “Do you kids know what day it is?”
My sister burst out laughing to his astonishment, and I quietly answered, “It’s Pearl Harbor Day, sir…”.

Another time, a guy's literal eyeball fell out and he just picked it up off the floor and stuffed it in his pocket while apologizing and the next week his eye was back and fine.

My ex, who stole tens of thousands of dollars from me, secretly believed she was a witch. Like a "I can make things happen" sort of witch. I began to figure it out and called her out. She vehemently denied it.
Then I caught her on IG paying a "witch doctor" from Haiti to cast a love spell on me (with my money). The dude sent her a damn video of some voodoo BS (candles and c**p on a beat-up table in some hovel) to "prove" he had done it.
She eventually left after a lot of drama and I found her stupid little witchcraft garbage hidden all over the house: rocks and random things in various pockets of my clothing; string hidden in the pocket of my favorite jeans; little candles hidden away; feathers jammed into things; stuff places over doorways and windows; two dead frozen rabbits buried in the freezer (I had naively assumed she got rid of them); two dead ducklings hidden in a closet.

When I was about 9 years old I was selling those stupid world famous chocolate bars to raise money for a field trip in school. Me and a classmate decided to team up and hit a specific neighborhood together. We were knocking on some old man's door, we could very clearly see him laying in his recliner chair watching TV with his eyes open, just completely ignoring us. We pounded on the door for a good 3 minutes, and this man didn't even flinch. We even yelled through his window that we could see him and called him an a*****e. Later that evening, the friend I was with called me and told me to turn on the local news. Someone had come to check on their elderly father and found him deceased in his reclining chair in his living room. The news station showed the house, and it was definitely the front door we had been knocking on..

It's inevitable, if you're a embalmer in a small town, that you WILL end up embalming someone you know well. Usually there aren't enough embalmers to pass it off to someone else, or more likely everyone else in the Funeral home also knows the person, too. It's a bit more unusual in bigger cities, but when I lived in Chicago I ended up identifying a friend that was murdered, picked her up at the morgue, delivered her to the crematory & arranged her cremation, then arranged her memorial service. ~~ Some people/ families would rather know that the person handling a deceased loved one is someone that cares about them, but it's also hard on us as embalmers bc we have to set aside our personal emotions about their death in order to be professional.

This may involve sexual contact or veneration as phallic symbols or both

Like an old joke: When Jane initially met Tarzan in the jungle, she was attracted to him. During her questions about his life, she asked him how he had sex? "Tarzan not know sex," he replied. Jane explained to him what sex was. Tarzan said, "Tarzan use knot hole in trunk of tree." Horrified Jane said, "Tarzan you have it all wrong, but I will show you how to do it properly." She took off her clothing and laid down on the ground. Here she said, pointing to her privates, "you must put it in here." Tarzan removed his loin cloth, showing Jane his considerable manhood, stepped closer to her and kicked her in the crotch! Jane rolled around in agony for what seemed like an eternity. Eventually she managed to gasp for air and screamed, "What did you do that for?" Tarzan replied, "Check for squirrel."

I caught a state record fish about 10 years back. I was with a group of 3 other people. We all had calibrated scales and weighed the fish on all 3 and it beat the record by 3 oz.
They weren't ready to leave yet (to go to the official scale) so I set it on the beach and we did some last casts and cleanup. Anyways, a bear ended up taking the fish (as evidenced bear tracks where the fish was and the fish being gone) while we were just around the bend for bout 10 minutes.
Nobody besides those people that were with me believes me that I could be in the state record book but lost the fish after I caught it.
TLDR: I caught a state record fish and then lost it.

When I was about 10 or 11, my family and I were staying at a campground near Crater Lake in Oregon. My family went out on the boat to fish and I stayed behind with a friend and fished from shore. I ended up hooking a HUGE bass but my line broke before I could get it out of the water. My parents didn't believe me until a man came up that had been watching and said he was upset that my line broke cause he was hoping to get his lure back that that bass had stolen the day before. lol My parents believed me after that.

I’m an anesthesiologist and actually had a malignant hyperthermia case.
Diolla 1 year ago (edited)
I looked up malignant hyperthermia. "Malignant hyperthermia is a severe reaction to certain d***s used for anesthesia. This severe reaction typically includes a dangerously high body temperature, rigid muscles or spasms, a rapid heart rate, and other symptoms. Without prompt treatment, the complications caused by malignant hyperthermia can be fatal. In most cases, the gene that puts you at risk of malignant hyperthermia is inherited, though sometimes it's the result of a random genetic change. Genetic testing can reveal whether you have an affected gene. This genetic disorder is called malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS)."

I was in year 2 (so like 7 years old) and asked my teacher to go to the toilet. All was well. I walk along into one of the stools and look into the toilet to see a pure white log of s**t. As soon as I see it the stench brutally attacks my nostrils as my eyes tear up and I back out of the stall coughing uncontrollably from the smell. I left without doing my business and no one to this day believes me.
It was not toilet paper wrapped around a poo, it was more like someone spray painted a piece of c**p, it was one solid log.

White stool can be the result of liver disease, hepatitis or a complete lack of bile in the intestines. This pooper was very sick and needs medical attention. (And to learn how to flush the toilet.)

Our local mall is falling apart. People have just started walking dogs in there and no one gives a c**p.

I have a UFO story and nobody believes me. Even the friend I was with doesn't really believe me. He missed it because he wouldn't get up. I don't even bother telling the story anymore. There's no point in it. ----- Okay, I see your comments. I don't know where else to put this so I'll type it here. I was camping with my best friend. It was a weekend trip in early spring a few years ago and the camp site was actually on one of his family members properties that sort of overlooked a lake in upstate New York. This was a somewhat small lake - too small for sailing - and was surrounded by undeveloped land. Where we camped, we had sort of a downward view of the lake and the land beyond it. Our campsite was next to a berm surrounding very large stone with a small clearing next to the treeline. We had our tent under the canopy of the treeline. We went to bed well after dark. I had the tent flap unzipped so that I could lay there looking out but, had the screen panel on the tent door zipped up because bugs. I could see the far side of the lake, maybe a little bit of the water, from where I was laying. But mostly I could see the night sky. I saw a round light that was maybe about the same size as a dime if I held a dime out at arms length. It was a pale off-white or cream color and it was surrounded by a haze that was an off-white to extremely light blue color that surrounded the round light like a very rudimentary cartoon flame might surround something. It was almost like a haze. It flew from the left of where I was camped to a point over the far side of the lake where it stopped and hovered. At that point I tried waking my friend up to look at the light. I pleaded with him. He didn't want to wake up and kept telling me to go to sleep. Then the object flew off to the right out of sight. I was extremely excited by all this. By the point it flew off out of sight, I was sitting up and shoving my friend to wake up. He rolled over to at least face the tent door and threw an arm over me and told me to get some sleep. He never lifted his head up. And then the object, whatever it was, came shooting back into my line of sight from some point off to my right, heading away from me at a really fast speed and gaining altitude. But when it came back into view, it didn't look like a sphere. If you can hold a coin on its edge at arms length you would see a circle, which is how it looked when I first saw it as it flew over the lake. If you were to hold a coin at arms length and tip the top edge towards you like 45 degrees, that's what it looked like as it shot off into the sky. It moved at blistering speed as it shot off. I had a clear line of sight of the sky it flew off into. And it gained altitude until it disappeared from sight far off in the distance. I got really scared then. I made my friend wake up and stay awake with me. I did eventually fall asleep but that was the weirdest thing I ever saw.

I hate that this subject have been ridiculed to the point that people are afraid to tell what they have seen for the fear of being laughed at. My wife once saw a bright dot stationary over some trees in the distance while driving. She first thought it was just a bit weird since cell phone tower lights here are usually red - then it became even weirder as the light suddenly took off in a straight line into the sky and dissapeared. Cell phone tower lights usually so not do that either..

I read something a long time ago that stopped me and my siblings being annoyed at each other for our dogs who never had accidents at home s******g in each others houses: when we potty train dogs, we don’t teach them that you don’t go to the bathroom in houses, we teach them that you don’t go to the bathroom in *this* house. Basically, to dogs, there’s the den, where you don’t use the bathroom, and then there’s the rest of the world.

Most dogs do not transfer training from one place to another. She knows where the door is at home, she knows it's her den, she knows how to ask to go out there. At work the door is different, there are people, the floor is different, it smells different, it is not her den, she does not know how to ask to go out there. She will need to be shown where to go outside and how to tell you she needs to at work. If you don't believe me take your dog outside and tell it to sit. It won't, unless you have taught it to, even if it knows the command sit, inside.
