There is a lot going on here that might be both objective and subjective.
Both very fair points there mate and although some of these cases include other UFO reports from around the same time and area I can appreciate the viewpoint that some of these experiences are subjective to the witness.
Regarding stopped clocks and a sense of dislocation or 'timelessness' (sometimes accompanied by an 'unnatural silence') then researcher Tim Swartz reports below on yet another very strange wristwatch example from Ohio in June, 2001.
The full article also goes into speculation about spatial changes, altered states of consciousness and potential time distortions and is quite an entertaining read.
Lost time case:
Quote:As soon as the lights flew away,” Deborah said, “the car started running again all by itself. The lights and radio were on just as they were before everything happened.”
According to their watches, the strange encounter had lasted more than 20 minutes. However, when they arrived home, Deborah’s husband seemed unconcerned about what they thought was a late arrival. That’s when they discovered that instead of being after 9:00 p.m., as their wristwatches indicated, it was only 8:35 p.m.
“It was as if the entire time we spent looking at those lights had never happened,” Angie said. “But it did happen, our watches both showed we had been stuck out there for over 20 minutes, but somehow we gained that time back with a few minutes to spare. Normally we should have been home at around ten to nine, but somehow, despite what had happened, we got there early.”
As Time Goes By - UFOs And Time Distortion
Strange thick fog or bizarre mists also seem to be involved in some of the more freaky UFO cases and Professor Michael Swords writes about the subject below quoting files from the Tasmanian UFO Investigation Committee with further info on the 1979 Murchison Highway case:
Quote:Suddenly the light was just gone, and the car returned to normal function. Her watch now said 9:29pm despite much more time having elapsed --- it must have stopped during this entire experience, and checking her dashboard clock, it had stopped too. As she was finally getting home, she noticed that her fuel tank was now empty, but her normal trip should have left it half full.
Messing around with engine function, timepieces, gasoline --- nothing is sacred to these space cowboys. But seriously... what constellation of projected force technologies can account for the variety in these cases?
There's also this one from the same area four years later.
Quote:Stanley River Road, TAS 1983.
The witness was driving to his home along the western Tasmanian highway [somewhat south of the previous story] when his car was lit up by a bright circle of blue-white lights overhead. The witness decided to stop his car to look, but found that he could not influence the car's motion nor speed in any way. Brakes did not work, and even removing the keys from the ignition had no effect. The car just sped on, and he doesn't remember whether he was doing the steering or not..
When the "driver" finally reached his turn-off, the object immediately sped away, being seen doing so by his wife. With the object gone, the car just stopped. He put the keys back in, and it started right up.He calculated his trip time. His watch indicated that the trip had taken 16 minutes. He should have taken 6 or 7 of those to get to the point where his car was illuminated and he lost control [8 kilometers]. But that meant that the final 25 winding hilly kilometers had been traversed in only 9 or 10 minutes, a physical impossibility in his vehicle. Did his watch stop during the experience and just start back up later? Even if so, why? How does one do that?
