For some reason, I think it's important to tell you about this, and the schedule was for 1976.

I had a close encounter with what could be a UFO. On the way back from West Virginia to Florida, I was returning from meeting my mom at a hospital in West Virginia, it was late at night, probably around 11 p.m., as I drove back through Alabama / Tennessee South on I-65.

What happened was that a very bright light that reminded me of the light of a locomotive appeared right behind me about 50 yards (45 m) all of a sudden and followed me at the same speed that I was traveling at 60 mph, its movement was so strange because it didn't waver. with the outline of the road, and I noticed that there is no sound, as if a helicopter.

I wanted to warn my wife who was sleeping next to me in the car, but I felt controlled, like in a trance, or some kind of hypnotic mind control, so I kept my head straight or forced, whatever, I even tried to take my foot off the accelerator, tried to Wake my wife up, but the only thing I could do was use my eyes to look in a straight direction, and also look in the rearview mirror from time to time or maybe most of the time to track his movements or that's what I had to do. 

Who knows, the last thing I noticed was that my hands were sweating on the steering wheel, but I couldn't take them off to wipe them. It seemed like it was going on for hours, or maybe time stopped, or something else that I don't really know.

I also noticed that all the time this was happening, there were no cars in any direction, nothing seemed to happen until this thing disappeared and everything went away. Poof, the light is gone - the only description I can find. 

When I was able to make movements with my body, the first thing I did was turn my head, then wipe my hands, then I stopped the car on the side of the road, got out and looked around, including the night sky, this caused my wife to Wake up, and you can only imagine what she was thinking and saying when I told her about this incident, finally I noticed life and returned to the current time zone, cars were passing by in both directions, so tell me, did my time stop or what?

This event doesn't seem strange, but nevertheless, years have passed, and from time to time I try to go back to those memories and ask myself:

I've never felt comfortable talking about it, even to this day, but it seems like a lot of people are coming forward, so why not me. 

I had a lot of recurring dreams that started from my early Teens when I was flying on some ship, and I remember always looking down at the terrain and cities as we moved.

And I distinctly remember being asked if I wanted my family to leave, and I always said no just because either I was afraid for their safety, or maybe I knew it wasn't my choice, or maybe I thought I'd never come back. Who knows?

WHY ME

Somehow I feel this is important to tell you about it and the timeline was 1976.

I had a close encounter with whatever it was maybe a UFO. On a trip back from West Va to Florida, I was returning from seeing my mom in the hospital in West Va., it was late at night probably around 11pm while driving back through Alabama/Tennessee going south on the interstate highway I-65.

What occurred was that an extremely bright light that reminded me of a locomotive train light appeared just behind me about 50yds quite suddenly and it followed me at the same pace I was driving around 60 mph, its movement was so strange because it didn’t fluctuate with the contour of the road and I took notice there was no sound as if a helicopter. I wanted to alert my wife who was sleeping beside me in the car but I felt controlled as if in a trance or some hypnotic mind control so I kept my head straight ahead or forced, whatever, I even tried to take my foot off of the accelerator, tried to wake my wife but the only thing I could do was use my eyes to look in the forward direction and glance as well at the rear view mirror from time to time or maybe most of the time to keep track of its movements or was this what I was supposed to do, who knows, last of all I also noticed my palms were sweaty on the steering wheel but I couldn’t take them off to wipe them. It seemed like for hours this occurrence was happening or maybe time was standing still or whatever I don’t really know.

I took notice as well, there were no cars in either direction the total time this was occurring, nothing seemed to be happening until this thing was gone and how did it go away well, Poof the light was gone is the only explanation I can come up with. When I was able to make movements with my body the first thing I did was move my head then wipe my hands off then I stopped the car on the side of the road got out and looked all around including the night sky, this caused my wife to wake and you can only imagine what she thought and said when I told her of this occurrence, finally I noticed life and back to the now time zone cars drove past in both directions, so tell me did my time stop or what, now doesn’t this event seem strange to you but anyway the years have passed and from time to time I try to take myself back to those memories and ask myself, why me.

I have never felt comfortable talking about this subject, even to this day, but it seems like a lot of people are coming forward so why not me. I have had many reoccurring dreams which started from my early teens of flying in some sort of craft and I remember always looking down at the terrain and cities as we were moving and I distinctly remember being asked if I wanted my family to go and I always said no only because either I feared for their safety or maybe I knew it was not my choice to make or maybe I thought I was never going to return again, who knows
