Dark figures, seen clearly, with nothing to see.
Did anyone else see it?
Something happened that you cannot explain, and you have probably stopped telling people about it. Tell us instead. We will go looking for the others.

What people tell us about
There is a name for the territory this covers. High strangeness is the part of an account that will not reduce to a mistake: not a light somebody misjudged, but the detail that makes no sense however generously you read it. This record is deliberately not about one kind of it.
Nobody picks a category when they write to us. These are the kinds of experience the accounts sorted themselves into.

Waking unable to move, with the certainty of company.

The moments where the world did not match itself. Nothing in the record yet, and the page says why.

Sometimes a lot of people describe the same thing at once
Nobody filed these as events. They surfaced on their own, when strangers in different towns wrote down the same thing on the same day, without ever meeting.
21
people in 19 different places, all on 1997-07-04, describing blue light and green light.
Some of those nights are famous. Most are not. Twenty-four of them have no name at all, no ordinary explanation, and nobody has ever looked at them.
The unnamed nightsEvery other cluster
Half the people here were answered by somebody who had not written yet
51%
of the accounts that found a match found it in an account written later than their own. The median wait was 10 years. 746 people waited a decade or more to find out they were not the only one.
That is the difference between this and a filing cabinet. Adding a report to an ordinary database does nothing to the reports already in it. Here, everything that arrives is compared against all 43,684 accounts, so a new one can answer an old one. Somebody wrote theirs down years ago and heard nothing. Yours might be the answer. How that is measured
43,684 accounts are in the record so far, the oldest from 1947. When you add yours, we search all of them and show you exactly why we connected anything we found. How that works
