Strange Phenomenon

As a surprise anniversary present, hubby wanted to take me away for the weekend. He hired a little silver open-topped sports car. He put the bags in the boot and told me to hop in. As we drove away, I was concerned about something, thought I might have forgotten something but he told me not to worry. We drove the 16 miles to Felixstowe, to a little guest house in a street that looked remarkably like a road in Ipswich. We headed back to Ipswich to see my parents and as I sat in the lounge, I noticed that people were outside looking up the road at the sky. I went outside to investigate. At first there was just a disturbance of the clouds, and then a circle of clear blue sky appeared with rotating clouds around it. Then there were neon green lights coming out of the clear patch, followed by neon blue ones, forming a runway and a ‘stargate’.

I ran in to get the camcorder but I’d left it at Felixstowe. I cursed my stupidity as I watched futuristic aircraft coming through the circle. Then it started to fade, so I tried to find my camera instead, but couldn’t find that either. After it had disappeared completely we got back in the car to go to the guest house, my dad waving goodbye. At the guest house, we went to bed but I couldn’t settle after the spectacle. Stu dozed off, so I got up and put the camcorder in my bag to make sure I didn’t forget it this time.

Next day we got to mum’s about the same time as the previous day and nothing seemed to happen. There was something electric about the atmosphere, but all seemed reasonably normal until we noticed that the bugs were behaving strangely. Everything they did was wrong – the flies were flying backwards and seemed to watching and tagging us!

The next day we headed home from our weekend away and went straight to my parents again, armed with camcorder and camera. At around the same time as the previous two encounters, we watched the sky for stargates but there was no sign of rotating clouds. Then I spotted something in the sky, larger than a bird. As it drew nearer, we realised it was a dog hanging in the sir without a care in the world. Then there was a cow, and another, then various other animals just floating aimlessly!! I wasn’t able to get a picture of them, or to record this event which annoyed me.

We went home. My eldest daughter and I were looking in my wardrobe for an particular item of clothing. She was taking the piss about some of my clothes. There were odd earrings in boxes hanging from the clothes rail.

[the sci-fi element of this dream had me pondering for weeks and I wished that it would really happen!]
