Canada... eh!
In here we share stories of events that happened that we can't explain.

I only have 1 such event in my life, I've never even shared this with anyone but 2 friends and with my mom whom was with me when it happened.

Around 10 years ago, me and my mom were driving down the highway, heading home. I was gazing out of the window and I saw what appeared to be a cylindrical hole being bored into a cloud. I immediately told my mom to look at it and she confirmed what I was seeing.

To better visualize, picture a sky that's 90% devoid of clouds. The area where the event was occurring at first was only one cloud. This would be a time snap picture of that one cloud, as the event transpired in it's successive phases.

To explain my crappy drawing, the cylinder should always be at the same angle, the tip of the cylinder was perfectly flat and the cylinder was perfectly cylindrical, I stress this because these were my exact thoughts as I was looking at it. I immediately said to myself its impossible for wind to be forming a perfect cylinder in the cloud when the rest of the cloud wasn't being affected at all.

After the cylinder chewed its way through the first cloud there was nothing, nothing but a pristine blue sky with nothing in it. We thought the event was over, but next to that cloud, after a large gap, there was another similar cloud and the event continued at the exact angle where the cylinder had left off from the first one. Keep in mind, the gap between the clouds was big and there was ABSOLUTELY nothing there that I could see. The cloud was translucent enough that if something HAD been forming the hole I could of seen it, but there was nothing at all there - just like in between the gap.

It made its way through the other cloud in similar fashion and there were no clouds after, just blue sky. We didn't see it after and I never saw anything like it in my life again. I've seen all the "weird" cloud pics off of digg, I've tried to research online - nothing compares.

I have perfect vision and in vision tests at my highschool my teacher said I had the vision of a hawk(best of a class of 25+). I was professionally tested a year ago and I still have perfect vision.

To this day, I still don't know what the fuck I was looking at and it would be my only unexplained event that occurred in my life. I know there's an airforce guy here (airforce matt?) If you have any clue I'd appreciate it if you could tell me and end this 10 year long mystery.



Please share your experiences!

There was absolutely nothing in the sky, a clear & pristine blue sky. The clouds weren't that far away that I couldn't of noticed a plane or anything flying, the cylinder would of been huuuuge(much bigger than what a plane could do). There was also that gap in between the two clouds where the event was no longer visible. Then it began penetrating the other cloud so it started again.

Ayzo, LOL I'd give you +rep if I hadn't already gave it today.

BB - I was 14, that only came later :D

Turbo - Not quite, but I wish !
 
last autumn i bought a copy of Walden from the book store.

a couple of days later, i was walking around downtown Toronto and saw a graffiti stencil of an ISBN number. my curiosity compelled me to record it in my phone for lookup later. it blew my mind when i found out later that it was the ISBN for Walden.

Except my mom was looking at the very same thing and we were confirming what we saw. So unless it was a hallucination beam affecting both of us that would rule it out.

It also wasn't cigar shaped as the end protruding through the cloud was completely flat. I really don't know.


brianpaxton - I researched that after you mentioned it, I don't think what I described could be attributed to massive coronal ejections from the sun? Would it describe what I said in the OP? There's a lot of mumbo I didn't understand, not being a meteorologist and all... I'm sure it's some natural phenomenon but nothing I ever saw ever came close to what I described. The OP is as accurately as I could put it.
 
As a 10 year old kid I played by myself in the snow on some field. I remember that snow was about 2 inches thick and it was the first one that fell that winter. I was running around and looking in the ground for different types of footprints that were left there by different types of animals. You could tell which animal walked there by looking at the footprints in the snow. There were dog paw prints, cats footprints and by the little birds, who left prints that looked like broken fork. There was even some larger ones, perhaps from a deer or something because they looked like bottom of a hoof.

I was doing that for a while when I looked about 20 feet away from me and saw some strange footprints. They appeared from nowhere, far from any jump reach. Footprints were about 5" in size and looked like a hand that had 6 fingers, only a little bit fatter fingers. They were laid out in a two-legged walk fashion and then suddenly disappeared. I kept looking for the same footprints and I found some more that were appearing out of nowhere and disappearing again. I'm still puzzled to this day as to whose prints they could be.
 
Spoonbending. Yes it's real. I took about 2 years analyzing it after my bro did it twice. The spoon got hot and like puddy.

That's what confirmed for me more than anything how the conscious observer on the quantum scale (aka the mind) can and does affect reality above the planck scale. In other words, yes your thoughts can affect shit - and I don't mean "oh make you feel bad/good"

The second thing happened in spring of 2000. I had a very frightening dream that someone broke into my parents house - it awakened me like at 3am in the morning. The guy got in because we had a habit of leaving the door open as the neighborhood was so safe and everyone knew one another.

The next morning, I called my mom and said "I had this funny dream that someone was watching the house and broke in because the door was unliked....please stop leaving the door unlocked".
That was tuesday...

Wednesday night, I had the same dream - it was like I was watching a DVD. So I called her and said "did you do what I asked?!"

She said something random "basically she was like that just a dream chill..."

One week later - you guessed it. Someone broke into the house. Or should I say "walked in". But it wasn't the back door, they just simply walked in the front door.

Don't care what anyone says the statistical likelihood of that situation occuring by chance is probably 1 part to a million!

Moral of story?

Guess it depends on your view of the world...

"My rational mind said one thing, my intuitive mind said another. I guess that's why the funny haired physicist said,
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.". - Albert E.

Honestly, not to totally promote other forums on WF but you should check out the research into this sort of stuff at Physics Forums. They are VERY SERIOUS about this kind of stuff and unless people come with some hard core research the threads will be locked. You'll be surprised at what other people have discovered.

This story is not at all "strange to me". It's as strange as the idea of a photon literally being at two places at the same time

Yeah that sounds crazy too right? Only it's actual physical fact.

You should read science journals. It takes about 10 years for real research to go from the labs to what's considered acceptable by the small brains of the masses. Actually I am sounding supercilious. But seriously if you really knew what's now reality in the labs it sounds as "weird" as UFOs.

Just so you know I mean that place it's filled with legit scientists:
a) It's co-sponsored by Scientific American
b) Here are the rules regarding research on similar experiences:


Overly Speculative Posts:
One of the main goals of PF is to help students learn the current status of physics as practiced by the scientific community; accordingly, Physicsforums.com strives to maintain high standards of academic integrity. There are many open questions in physics, and we welcome discussion on those subjects provided the discussion remains intellectually sound. It is against our Posting Guidelines to discuss, in most of the PF forums or in blogs, new or non-mainstream theories or ideas that have not been published in professional peer-reviewed journals or are not part of current professional mainstream scientific discussion. Personal theories/Independent Research may be submitted to our Independent Research Forum, provided they meet our Independent Research Guidelines; Personal theories posted elsewhere will be deleted. Poorly formulated personal theories, unfounded challenges of mainstream science, and overt crackpottery will not be tolerated anywhere on the site. Linking to obviously "crank" or "crackpot" sites is prohibited.


Religious Discussion Guidelines:
Discussions that assert the a priori truth or falsity of religious dogmas and belief systems, or value judgments stemming from such religious belief systems, will not be tolerated. As a rule of thumb, some topics pertaining to religion might be permissible if they are discussed in such a way so as to remain neutral on the truth of, or value judgments stemming from, religious belief systems. However, it is essential to use good judgment whenever discussing religious matters to ensure that the discussion does not degenerate into a messy dispute. If in doubt, err on the side of caution.

Because of the complexity and ambiguity of this subject matter, there are no hard and fast moderation rules that apply over all possible cases. Ultimately, it is up to the administrators and mentors to decide what is appropriate and what it not on a case-by-case basis. Discuss religious matters at your own risk: Administrators and mentors retain the right to lock or delete any religious thread or post at any time without warning or explanation. All administrator and mentor action taken with regard to religious discussions will be final and will not be up for dispute.

Religious proselytizing is strictly prohibited! PF is not the place to promote or discuss particular religious dogma.

Conspiracy Theories/Closed Topics:
Discussion of conspiracy theories and certain perennial pseudoscience topics that have been "debunked" beyond any reasonable doubt are not allowed anywhere on the site. A list of such closed topics can be found in the Scepticism and Debunking Forum Guidelines.

Um it's a pretty easy magic Trick. Let me show you the awesome power of GOOGLE! How to Bend a Spoon (with video) - wikiHow (Cliffnotes: the spoon was bent before the trick to weaken it, it was hot because it was in his hands for so long and then straightened again and easily bent with his thumb that was merely "resting on it") And i know how you like to believe in magic so you'll probably dismiss all this, but you gotta ask yourself, how come he never bent a knife?

Nope. Reserched that too. It's been scientifically tested. It's due to the metallurgical dislocation of the molecular grains - nothing "magical" about it at all.

It's as magical as two things appearing in the same place at once - which scientists now have done with photons.

If you have some HARD CORE science which disproves this, Please let me know....

Edit:

PS
I was raised by two scientists (mother, MA& PHD in psych, father MSc. in Engineering) so "magic" really would never really do it for me in the form of evidence ;)
