9. Strange Lights
A few years ago, while I was driving across Eastern Canada,
something very unusual happened. I still don’t understand what
happened.
While I was driving at night through thick, heavy fog, I noticed
flashes of light in the sky. They were moving from the sky onto the
road in front of my truck. I was driving slowly, and I couldn’t see very
well, but those lights were as bright as daylight, and they were blue.
It was definitely not lightning.
Now here’s where the story gets weird. I was getting tired of driving
in the fog, so I pulled off the road and stopped at an all-night
restaurant for travelers.
10. I walked and sat down at the counter. When the server came to
my table, she laughed and asked me how I got such a bad
sunburn. I didn’t know what she meant, but my face suddenly
felt really hot. I went into the restroom and looked at myself
in the mirror. My face was bright red! I splashed cold water on
it and held a towel to my skin. My hands were also burned. I
was very puzzled and a little frightened.
I went back to my table and ordered something to eat. I was
feeling weak and extremely tired, and I wasn’t hungry
anymore. After I forced myself to eat a few bites of food, I
checked into a nearby motel, where I slept for about 24 hours.
After that, I didn’t see any more light flashes, and the
“sunburn” on my face and hands disappear after a few days.
Even now, I wonder about those flashes of light – I’ll never
forget them!
