...my sisters are pretty strange

You crack me up kiddo!!!

Camping in the middle of nowhere in the south-central Utah desert. Light way up in the sky moving slowly, much like a satellite and at the same distance. Came straight down incredibly fast and MUCH closer, maybe 500 or 1000 feet up, pretty close to over me. Stopped moving for 5 seconds or so, then shot straight back up to where it was up in space and continued it's slow path like a satellite. Something I will never forget.

Wow that's weird.
Reminds me of a time I saw a bunch of lights, like satellites, but moving faster and they were closer to earth. They kept turning off and back on, and one did a 180 loop-de-loop and went back the way it came.

Another strange thing was once my mom and I stayed up late at night and watched dozens of shooting stars. That was cool. We tried looking it up the next day, to see what it was, like if it was a meteor shower or something but there was nothing about it online

I wanna hear the lug nut story! LOL

I had a tire shred on me on one of those middle of nowhere country roads..
I was loosening the lug nuts and I had one roll into the ditch right smack dab into a crawdad hole…
I went ahead and replaced the tire, then got a spade out of the truck and started digging up the crawdad hole to get the lugnut…
I found a lugnut alright, but it wasn’t mine,, it was huge,, like one off a heavy duty truck or a tractor…I never did find the original nut.

What year ? Seen something similar back in early 1972 .

Here's another strange one. I was headed to Hole In The Rock, about 60 south of Escalante Utah. (This is where pioneers chopped, blasted and built a wagon trail down a steep sandstone crack into Glen Canyon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIdtNfMaMOs&t=401s). About 50 miles into the 60 mile drive through the desert, the dirt road goes up over the top of a sandstone hill. I stopped to stretch and walked around on this sandstone hill. Not too far off was a round house-sized hole with vertical walls - probably 15 feet deep. Down in the hole was a tent and about a thirty year old man sitting on a lawn chair. There was no ladder and no way he could get out of that hole. And I hadn't seen a vehicle for 20-30 miles. I about scared the stuffing out of him when I called down to ask if he was okay. He said he was fine and had everything he needed! I asked how he got down there. He explained he had some friends put him down there because he was trying to get off drugs and they would come back for him. Talk about cold-turkey (and hot and dry turkey)!

My ex -wife. Or was that just pure evil I experienced?

Back a good 15 years ago I lived just north of the snake river state forest, at that time I had three dogs a mutt, a female Gordon setter and a big old walker coon hound, one night I was up late, couldn’t sleep so was up late watching the tv and the dogs wanted to go out so I let them, about a half hour or later they stared raising a ruckes and almost ripped the door down trying to get in, when I opened the door all three of them almost knocked me down getting in the house, all scared half to death even Charlie my old hound who I didn’t think anything could scare but he was terrified, outside when I look there was a round object hanging over the forest, no noise just hanging there, looked about the size of a baseball at whatever distance it was, at first I thought it was maybe a chopper which we sometimes had come through but I couldn’t hear a thing, absolutely nothing, that’s when I realized there was nothing at all making a sound not even the mosquitos and they were really bad that year and never quite, anybody that lives where there’s a lot of the little blood suckers knows what I mean

The whole night was silent the mating frogs, the mosquitos everything, that glowing ball whatever it was hung there for a while maybe 4/5 minutes and then just vanished and after a few more the noise all started up again the frogs the mosquitos everything, don’t know what it was but it sure scared my dogs and just about everything else in the area

I later heard that there was a rash of lights seen over the towns of Grantsburg and Danbury Wisconsin, not all that far away this was way before drones were ever a thing, like I said I still don’t know what it was or ever seen anything like it since but it was definitely something strange

That is eerie.

This takes a little explanation about logging in the NW. Yarders have whistles that the crew uses to signal the yarder engineer what to do, like one short for stop and three shorts to go ahead on the mainline. There are also whistles to notify everyone within hearing like three longs to alert the hooktender he is needed or 7 longs that someone is injured. One signal that is kind of obsolete is 4 longs to call for the climber. My father had been a climber for many years before he retired. The job became obsolete in the 70s when spar trees stopped being used.
My dad died in 2014, and we had a graveside service. A number of people spoke and just after the last person spoke, a long way off in the hills there were four long whistles. Never heard another whistle that day. It was as if he was being called. A yarder whistle can't be confused with a truck horn or train. I know most in the crowd never recognized the significance, but I was a logger, so it hit home with me.
