Man 'abducted by aliens' after seeing flashing lights behind him on rural road
A man has shared his terrifying experience of being 'abducted' by aliens while driving home from university late at night. He was heading back from Indiana University, in America, when he noticed "flashing lights" behind him on a rural road, thinking it was the police. But as soon as he stopped, the light vanished. He shared on Reddit : "I thought, 'Great, I'm getting pulled over,' so I turned onto the next country road about a quarter mile from where I noticed the lights."
"As I stopped and started to get my registration and insurance from the glove box, the lights suddenly disappeared, and no car drove past. Then things got weird. The electronics in my car started acting up. The radio was randomly changing stations while the volume kept going up and down while the dome light and headlights started to flicker and turn off and back on."
"This was at 10.56pm. I start thinking to myself that my battery must be failing, or else I have a short somewhere in the electric system of my car... so I lean down to pop the hood so I can take a look at the battery, and that is the last thing I remember doing." He said he suddenly found himself "seeing nothing but the night sky full of bright stars". He realised he was in a field, surrounded by corn stalks. Scared, he got up and started walking back to his car, which was half a mile away.

"When I got to the nearest intersection I looked at the signs which read 350N and 50W. I was half a mile away from my car which was just right off the main road," he said. "I started walking toward the headlights I could see on the main road. I can't say how long it took me to walk the half mile but it couldn't have been more than 10 or 15 minutes."

"When I arrived at my car all the lights were out - my battery had died, which struck me as odd because I couldn't have been gone for that long. I looked at my phone which was sitting on the passenger seat, and the time was 2.17 am. Over three hours had passed since I turned off onto the side road for the flashing lights behind me."
"I remember sitting in my car completely dumbfounded, wondering what the hell had just happened to me. After about half an hour of just sitting there, I remembered that my battery was dead; so I got on the phone and called AAA to come out and give me a jump."
He confessed: "To this day, I couldn't tell you what really happened to me that night. All I know is I can't think of any plausible explanation as to why I woke up over half a mile away from my car in the middle of a cornfield more than three hours after I had stopped. I have only shared this story with one other person - my uncle."
"I am sure people would either look at me like I'm crazy or they would call bull**** on the whole story. And I can't blame them... if somebody came to me with a story like that, that so closely mirrors the stereotypical encounter story, I probably wouldn't believe them either."
One user commented on his post: " That's scary as f***." Another added: "Very interesting. Possibly a fugue state? Early signs of schizophrenia? I'm just offering slightly less terrifying explanations." A third user chimed in: "I'd rather be sane and dealing with actual aliens then delusional and dealing with imaginary ones."
