I had this strange thing happen to me about 5 years ago. I was sitting on the couch when I felt very weak and everything went blurry all of a sudden and I could hear the tv and see it (but it was all fuzzy) and it sounded like "wah wah wah" (reminded me of the Charlie Brown teacher lol) and I felt this thing lifting me up and putting me upright (I was laying down). It kept making me sit up then lay back down over and over and I couldn't move my eyes, they were just looking straight at the tv but out of the corner of my eye I could see this greyish blob. I tried and tried to scream but I couldn't. But in the end I managed to let a big moan out and I snapped out of it and my friend came running out of my room asking me whats wrong. It was so strange. I haven't really told many people about it just a select few friends.

Hm, a very similar thing happened to me years ago. Although the orb wasnt greyish but light blue. Do you remember anything else from that event? No matter how unimportant it may sound. Also, did you find scars on your body after it happened, or new "birth marks"?

All I really remember is what I posted in my first post. I don't think I had any scars though. Just felt scared and strange and confused after it happened. I don't know how I managed to moan out my friends name. It was so hard to talk or make any kind of noise when it was happening. The odd thing is that when my friend came running out of the room to see if I was okay, he didn't see nothing. As soon as I let out the moan it just stopped.  I even looked around the living room and there was nothing. It was so weird. I'll never forget it.

On a side note, my mother's side of the family has a history of alien abductions. My mother and I are the only ones who haven't experienced it. Not that we know of anyways. Aliens really freak me out, bad. I don't want to be visited. lol.

Hm, with aliens and other entities is really tricky with identification. It may be other sort of a being, not necessarily alien.

Any ideas on what it could have been?

Was I visited by an alien?

Almost certainly, no.

I had this strange thing happen to me about 5 years ago....etc

But I was wide awake then all of a sudden it happened.

Is it possible I had a seizure or something?

Well, of course it is, but we lack more information to be sure. What preceded to the event, what maybe caused it, what were your vital signs, brain activity...

Was I visited by an alien?

Almost certainly, no.

Why is it so hard to accept the possibility, that even if u never had such an experience, others just might?

I'm not completely ruling out the possibility... However, in this case, the answer to the question is "almost certainly" no.

Why is it so hard to accept the possibility, that even if you fervently believe such an experience to be plausible, it might not be?

It is not hard, but once one lives through such event, its way beyond mere faith

What you are saying, then, is that just because you too may have had a sleep paralysis incident, we must all believe in extraterrestrial visitation?

I'm not saying that this is absolutely impossible.

Just extremely improbable.

The absence of independent witnesses and verifiable data does not help, either.

that was not the case, i dont have to apologize for not fitting someones skeptical mind

Independent witness? As what? My ex husband not good enough cause he doesnt have a degree in ufology? He actually thought that somehow i made him see what i saw, with my super powers. So, what does sound more probable? Aliens or super Nina

I still have marks from that day.

I am so sorry for you really, never had anything extraordinary and miracle worth happen in your life. Maybe then you would understand.

Nobody asked you to apologise.

This is a classic false dichotomy - a logical fallacy in which you have omitted consideration of all reasonable alternatives. You suggest that it is an either-or dilemma and offer just two explanations, when, in fact, there are many other viable alternatives. Sleep paralysis - while in itself only a suggested explanation - is a proven, tested, known, measurable phenomena, and thus massively more probable than aliens (unproven) or super-Nina (also un-proven).

I still have marks from that day.

Did you consult medical specialists about your injuries? Did you report this to any authority?

I am so sorry for you really, never had anything extraordinary and miracle worth happen in your life. Maybe then you would understand.

Au contraire. I have witnessed many unexplained situations. I just learned to stop assuming that they were of a supernatural origin until proven so. Besides, life, the world around us - even those things which our post-modern society now considers hum-drum - the very universe, is so full of extraordinary and miraculous (in the layman's sense of the term) phenomena that I don't see the need to make it more "exciting" by positing that fairies or goblins or aliens or angels or demons ad nauseam are responsible. That's Hollywood's view of the world, not reality.
