To call a taxi you can go in the red zone but the hand has to be sideways and you must be doing a frantic fast waving while screaming “TAXIII” in a high pitch voice. Also get on your tippy toes.
It was between 2010-2014 and i was recently gifted my first phone. A used Sony Ericsson w300i. Fast forward a few weeks later, i was on the roof playing with the filters on the phone camera. One of them was a Sepia filter and as i tried it, i randomly pointed it toward the sky and then toward the sun. That’s when i saw a small dark object hovering near the very bright sun as to hide using it. It was shaped like a sphere and seemed very far up in the sky. It was very fast, it’s movement unnatural as it was doing oval shaped circles around the sun.
But in all seriousness, me and a friend of mine once saw a flying object that matches your description, except it was around 4am and we were on the beach, camping. At some point, it flew into the horizon (really freaking fast, headed to a different country, so I doubt it was a drone). No drugs were involved.
When I was a teen I was outside with my step-brother playing catch late at night in the street and we saw one. Never talked about because we felt like idiots. I still do.
I like the “no drugs involved” part. We’re describing something we saw with our own eyes and yet is so outlandish we can only accept that people wouldn’t believe us.
I am not judging you and when I was a kid, I too saw some shit. Many people have, it’s very common. What’s up for debate is whether it’s aliens or not, is all.
I’ll give kind of the opposite story. An Illinois town’s PD has made the news at least twice for chasing a UFO. In the 80s they were on some TV special about unexplained events, talking about the time they chased a triangular-shaped UFO for a long time. I remember watching that, and then going to the nearby air base for an air show, complete with a triangular-shaped stealth bomber…
Wait, so you were using an old phone that had an ancient sensor? You then pointed that ancient sensor at the sun and a dark spot showed up? Most likely at the most exposed portion of the sensor and you’re saying that was a UFO?
I knew i should’ve written UFO as in unidentified flying object and that it was a mistake using the word alien as it tends to have heavy connotation with green men and wackos. No,i don’t believe aliens are traveling light years and playing hide and seek with us. I saw some weird shit and want to understand what it was. I was told it was caused by overexposure and i answered that it happened only once and that as far as i know it should be repeatable but i didn’t.
I don’t think you’re crazy and you saw what you saw. It probably just wasn’t aliens, it was likely some astronomical phenomenon. You could’ve seen a comet or an asteroid or a planet passing over the sun, that’s what your description sounds like to me, anyway.
People think that things like cameras and radar are perfect instruments. They can be overloaded by things like pointing them at the sun, internal reflections, radar can have false signals, etc. I once thought I saw a UFO while in a car and then realized it was just an internal reflection of a light off of the glass. It looked like it was moving super fast and everything.
People will also do things like over expand compressed videos and images and then act surprised when they see compression artifacts and think they are real.
I can’t tell if this is a joke or not. I mean no reasonable person would conclude aliens from a flip phone camera using filter pointed directly at the sun with one of the worst lenses ever built for a camera in history.
I mean I laughed, so well done if that was the intent.
