OK, back when I was a teenager, 16 or 17 (I am 45 now) I had this weird encounter, and did not know if I was awake or sleeping, and if it was a dream. So what happened is that I was hanging out with friends and got a bit nauseous (turned out later friend had an exhaust leak, and I had thought it was his cologne that was making me ill). Anyhow, it was about midnight in Elk Grove, CA and rather than take a late dip in the pool at my friends house with all the rest of our group who had been hanging out pretty much every day of the summer. I was on my way home when there was a light off in the distance. I live in the boonies so I thought it was just someone with a truck in the field with a spotlight, or maybe even the sheriff looking for someone. It slowly got closer to me before realizing it was off the ground. I was the only vehicle on the road (again, boonies) and all of a sudden I felt very light headed so I drove my car onto a dirt road with a house at the end but the gate was locked so I had to go by foot. I started trying to run but I kept falling down like I was drunk. Side to side swaying as this light gets closer and then the last fall I had I puked… That was it. That was all I remember. I wake up at home in my driveway and mom was out to get the paper and knocked on my window. I had never thought anything of it and just thought I fell asleep in my car. Fast forward about 10 years and I start having all these weird episodes where I would black out and just wake up in bed. Every time this would happen I would wake up in bed. It only happened though when I was at home. I had never had dreams like this and have never had blackouts. This would continue for another 7-10 years until I was about 35. About 10 years ago (35 y/o in 2009) my sister got me “zen magnets” for xmas. I was playing with them and noticed someone in my hand attracted the magnets. I ran a string of them over my hand and I felt something become dislodged. Ever since then I have never had a blackout. So basically I just put two and two together. It’s actually still under my skin in my hand to this day! I have pictures with those zen magnets. In case someone asks, I haven’t had it removed because I don’t like Doctors. I HATE needles. I was going to try to do it myself but all I managed to do was cut my skin. I guess it was under the layer of muscle in my hand. Has someone had something similar happen to them? I don’t remember anything and I never saw an alien or a ship but I had these weird blackouts and didn’t know if it was dream or real. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/centerforinquiry/original/2X/9/93c4e3c70dc6611e45a8f8b9ad1b3f722587f087.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/centerforinquiry/original/2X/7/70fe2b77c181600aec8357b55e39c6b092afb61d.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/centerforinquiry/original/2X/7/7b616549374d2b8a15edc17783fe7df641da61ec.jpeg)   ---

You mention an “exhaust leak”, but it’s not clear from your post if you were driving that same car. The symptoms you describe – “I kept falling down like I was drunk” – do sound like the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. I don’t know how you would have gotten back into your car and driven home again, unless you just did so and then forgot about it. I don’t know about your subsequent blackouts, but a person’s late twenties is when a lot of psychological problems begin to manifest, like schizophrenia. You say that you don’t like doctors, so I’m presuming that you’ve never seen a physician about your blackouts either. As for the magnetic anomaly inside your hand, it is not a good idea to do exploratory surgery. There are arteries and nerves that you could cut by accident and cause some severe problems.   ---

I’m skeptical that anyone would dislike doctors and needles so much that they would not go and have a possible alien implant at least looked at by a doctor. A simple, noninvasive procedure like ultrasound would easily identify it.   ---

Third person chiming in to say I noticed your obvious plot hole.
