My Ghostly Alien Encounter
A very unusual alien encounter took place in Canada. It is mysterious for many reasons.
This is a true account of what happened to my husband and myself in February of 2005 while driving from Medicine Hat to Edmonton. This is in Alberta, Canada, and I do not want to give the exact location, except to say it was somewhere near Red Deer. It was dark at the time, and traffic was light. I was driving, my husband was in the passenger seat, and my daughter was in the back.
Let me back up for a second to say that I was not firmly convinced prior to this incident that aliens are real, however I never disputed the fact that they could exist. I have not attended alien conventions and do not obsess about watching television programming on alien encounters. Both my husband and I consider ourselves to be open minded people, but not fruit cakes. We are certainly not, nor ever have been, alien hunters.
Okay, so there we were, driving to Edmonton, on a winter night. We were not really talking about anything at the time as I recall, only listening to the radio. As I was driving, my eyes caught something metallic in the ditch, of course it was dark and I could only think it was a large flat shape, but could not distinguish what it was, I will say what I saw appeared to be one large sheet of metal, about he size of a small car. I said nothing. Within a few seconds I saw the alien.
The alien itself was pale in color, I could even say white. It was lying in the road, immediately in front of me. Again I stress this was at night, it had not shown in the headlights until I was almost on top of it. This was also on a highway, and I was going highway speed, so there was no time to stop. I drove over it.
There was no bump, no sound, nothing. Yet I know it was there, and I had driven over it. I immediately thought “Wow that was odd.”.
It was three or four minutes, maybe even longer before I said anything. Even then, when I did go to say something, my husband, who also had been silent this whole time, said to me something like “Did we just drive over an alien?” We spoke on the subject for a few minutes, I told him about seeing the object in the ditch only moments before. Neither of us discussed how the creature looked, color, shape, size, or anything.
We continued our drive. My daughter had not seen anything and thought we were making it up to spook her. Two, or three days later, still convinced we were pulling a prank on her, she asked us each to draw what we had seen. Both my husband and I are artists, so we were able to draw, fairly accurately what we had seen.
My husband drew the figure exactly as it lay on the ground in front of the car, a tall slender figure, head towards the left, with the body stretched out to the right. Arms and Legs fairly straight. I drew my alien as though it were alive, upright, standing, tall, slender, arms long to the side. I did clarify before showing my picture that the alien was not standing, but was lying on the road at the time. I can a test to you now, as I did to her then, that we never had discussed the appearance of the alien, and our pictures were very alike. Granted they were similar to some pictures of aliens you are apt to see, but this does not account for the basic fact that we saw it at the same time, in the same place, and saw the same thing.
Do we think I drove over an alien? No, I do think I drove over some kind of cosmic energy of an alien being, either from an accident that had happened in the past, or perhaps one that has yet to happen. To be realistic a past accident makes more sense. Perhaps even a crash before the road was even there. Maybe even a cross over between parallel existences. I have driven past the same spot before and since, and never had any sense of an alien being. Maybe it was the time of day, the alignment of the planets, or who knows what. But I do know something very unusual happened that night, and possibly at some other time too.

Great story. Adding those pictures that you and your husband had both drew would be interesting to see, too. Adding those pictures to the article would give this interesting story, just a little more POP!.
God Bless,

Cool. You drive your motor vehicle over an alien entity. And your only thought is to keep driving and not render assistance? What if it was a test? Did you pass? As a representative of humanity? Lucky it was just cosmic energy and nothing important. And you got to draw a groovy pic of an alien which is not standing and alive but dead and squashed like roadkill as a memento of the passing of the juggenaut.

….so what you’re really saying is that you are the perpetrators of a hit-and-run incident! Did you not even consider the possibility that the figure lying in the road was someone on their way back from a fancy-dress party who had collapsed due to excess alcohol (’pissed’ as we say here in the UK)?….neither of you bothered to get out and check??…how callous and irresponsible

“I’M NOT READY TO SEE THIS I’M NOT READY TO SEE THIS!!!”
Ha … that’s the same thing I said when I saw my grandma naked.

since it was slender, maybe it was just a costume that someone threw on the road. And driving over it without a bump could also reason that it was an alien costume

i’d like to address the various posts that point out the fairly obvious observation that regardless of whether ‘it’ was an alien, or whether it was an ‘imagined’ event/whatever, a hit and run occurred!
i don’t wish to elaborate on details, but i can only relate a peculiar aspect to these kinds of events…something which i’ve personally experienced on a number of occasions…an aspect that, afterwards, has almost always caused me more consternation than whatever the actual ‘event’ itself. it’s just one more element that tends to obscurate the study of paranormal/ufo experiences.
this effect has to do with a form of psychological shock/trauma…an irrational response to an anomalous experience. i have personally experienced certain events wherein i later was left wondering why i’d reacted in the seemingly odd/irrational manner in which i did! i think this is a fairly common response to an uncommon experience.
we become so ‘focused’ on the oddness/un-naturalness of the experience that we seem to enter into an altered state of reality. any of you older ‘experimenters’ from the sixties knows how irrational it would be to somehow demand of a person on lsd (i.e. – in an altered state of consciousness) that they experience reality/RESPOND TO REALITY in a ‘normal’/consensus manner. this is a very complex issue that deserves much more of a response than i can offer here. but it IS an important consideration…at least, i believe it is.

I agree with carlos…what if it was a test. What if they just wanted to see if we were harmful or caring? anyways my opinion s that if i WASNT an alien you both saw, the figure in the ditch may have been a car and the shape in the road may have been a costume. I do believe that there is something else somewhere in space

I think Bobby may have a point. In fact, what I think most likely is that somebody set it up on purpose. The metallic thing would not be difficult to place, and the alien – costume, model of some sort, whatever – could have easily been insubstantial enough that you not feel the bump. I mean, if you could feel papier-mache, why do we have shock absorbers?

To clarify, I do NOT doubt your honesty.
