“The beach was lit up BRIGHTER than if it was daylight” – My UFO Experience

“All of a sudden, from above, a bright light shined down on us, and the beach was lit up BRIGHTER than if it was daylight. It was like stadium lights were lit up for as far as we could see. BUT it was SILENT…. We turned on the radio and heard that there were lots of UFO sightings near the area.”

eating. We had some flashlights (small). There were no houses at the time, and it was pitch black. Just the waves were the only sound. Behind us were the sand dunes.

All of a sudden, from above, a bright light shined down on us, and the beach was lit up BRIGHTER than if it was daylight. It was like stadium lights were lit up for as far as we could see. BUT it was SILENT.

My husband and I felt terror. We looked at one another and said RUN, RUN, RUN. We grabbed one or two things, ran towards the sand dunes (leaving most of our things). Car was just on the other side of the dunes on the two lane road that runs along the beach.

As we crossed the huge dunes (a small pass between 2 dunes) I looked back. I couldn’t see where the light was coming from. It was like several thousand watts turned on, lighting up the beach. There were no buildings, NOTHING out there. We jumped into the car and I hysterically screamed GO GO GO….and we tore out in the WRONG direction away from where we lived, just going down the road as fast as we could.

After a time, we turned around and went back (only way to get back to pensacola ) and the beach was dark. We drove past the area and kept going. We never stopped. We turned on the radio and heard that there were lots of UFO sightings near the area.

We have been haunted by this since 1982. I am now 65 and my husband is 66. We thought maybe it was something experimental from the air base there. BUT IT WAS SILENT. The light came from above us, but lit up the entire area like daylight. I had to squint. I didn’t look up; I was afraid. Neither did my husband. I felt dread, that if we didn’t run, something horrible was going to happen, and so did he.

Have you ever had accounts like this? Is there someone who may have experienced this. And no, it wasn’t bright nights, wasn’t any kind of environmental thing. This was some kind of purposeful, brighter than day light that was shone on us, from the sky. It didn’t move, didn’t change…..wasn’t a helicopter, or plane. SILENT.

Addendum

My husband and I almost NEVER speak of this. We did today. He tells me that he looked up and the light seemed to come from behind us over the dunes. BUT, the light was not pinpoint from a single source. It was diffuse, which scared him even more. The light was not from directly over head. The dunes are approximately 15-20 feet high (or were at the time) and so the light emanated diffusely from much farther up than that. But it was so blinding, that he could not see a source. In his recollection, we ran across a cut out in the dunes to the road and jumped in the car. We never saw ANYTHING above, around. We seemed alone except for the very bright stadium like lights lighting up the area. It was so bright that our eyes hurt. We never saw another car as we drove away. And, it was dark on the other side of the dunes where the car was. As we returned to the area, we do recall that it was dark. We slowed the car, and even though we had left several objects, we didn’t go back. Whatever this was, was not something that we could explain on this earth or with physics. My husband grew up on an airbase and was familiar with all aeronautical sounds. I recall hearing NOTHING. I am perplexed to this day and often wonder what would have transpired had we stayed.
