My Ghostly Alien Encounter

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.
