I had a strange encounter with what I could only describe as otherworldly - this recount may fit better in the grey area but I can't rule out it being alien.
A few years back, I went backpacking abroad. One night after indulging in some traditional rice wine in the place I was staying something happened. Many of the locals painted their faces, like you might see on Halloween. They began dancing and trying to scare each other. It looked really fun, so joined in with the festivities. Oddly enough, nobody asked any questions, it just happened like it was a normal thing to do.
After a blurry two hours I noticed that I had completely lost any comprehension of time. In fact I had gone to so much effort to try and scare my counterpart that I completely forgot who I was. It was almost like the persona I had created had taken over for that duration of time. After snapping back to reality for a short time I was able to comprehend some kind of sensibility.
I do remember later on accessing a different place. I remember asking to have a photo taken of me and seeing the flash and harnessing the light it emitted. I was instantly transported to a black void. It felt like I was stationary but moving extremely fast at the same time. I recall seeing these long white strings that I could move with my mind relative to my position. I had no idea what was going on but it was pretty fun to explore.
A few days later I was at a birthday party and had a photo taken with a few people. It was only until a few years later, upon reviewing the photos I noticed a strange looking creature poking its head out in the bottom corner of the photo. It was coming out from the same void substance which can be seen in the photo from my experience which is why I feel it is alien.
I obviously have photos which supports what I'm saying.
Carlos César Salvador Arana Castañeda (December 25, 1925 – April 27, 1998), [1] was a Peruvian-American author with a Ph.D. in anthropology.
Starting with The Teachings of Don Juan in 1968, Castañeda wrote a series of books that describe his training in shamanism. The books, narrated in the first person, relate his experiences under the tutelage of a Yaqui "Man of Knowledge" named Don Juan Matus. His 12 books have sold more than 28 million copies in 17 languages. Critics have suggested that they are works of fiction; supporters claim the books are either true or at least valuable works of philosophy and descriptions of practices which enable an increased awareness.

I don't think the experience was drug induced, rather the dissociation from identity was the creation of the experience. I've been blind drunk before and this was different to that.
It's not impossible I was slipped something you describe, except that would mean you're saying people can enter such a space under the influence. Wouldn't that be like asking a scopolamine patient to enter a black void so we can photograph it for you? It's not improbable but highly unlikely, unless the collective were under the influence of it.

Between my sighting of a foofighter, one night in November of 1976, approx. 40 miles west of Washington D.C., I seemed to sense --- telepathically ---- the presence of a highly intelligent E.T. alien entity.
The Calvert Cliffs ET alien entity tried too communicate to me with geoglyph carvings, laser holographic images and possible hydro wave experiments.
I responded back with a classic --- Welcome To Earth --- carving in the face of the cliff. My own waterproof messages on one of his hydro wave experiments ---- including my own carving in the side of a dead tree, that fell off the top of the cliff --- Require tachyons + black holes, stop 1999 AA asteroid.

When you saw the foo fighter were you in a military craft?
Could you go into more detail of that encounter?
If you could give more information about how the message sounded to you I can tell more of what I know as well.
The only way to vet your story is to hear more details.
Please don't try to pull my leg as it will not go well...
Quite famous for being a fraud.
'Carlos knew exactly what was true and what was not true,'' said Angela Panaro, of Cleargreen Inc., the group that marketed Castaneda's teachings and seminars near the end of his life. ''But the thing that's missing when people talk about Carlos is not whether Don Juan lived or not, or who lived in what house. It's about becoming a voyager of awareness, about the 600 locations in the luminous egg of man where the assemblage point can shift, about the process of depersonalization he taught.''
The luminous egg, assemblage point and processes of depersonalization are all part of the practice of Tensegrity, a blend of meditation and movement exercises that Castaneda taught in his final years as a way for people to break through the limitations of ordinary consciousness. Skeptics say they sum up a career characterized, in the end, by literate New Age mumbo jumbo and artful deception.

The night of my foofighter sighting in 76...had me sitting in the back seat of a full windowed Ford Econoline van, driving back to Baltimore, Maryland from doing survey construction work in West Virginia ---- that had us staking out a railroad track to a coal strip mine.
We [me, my Party chief who was riding shotgun, the instrument man who was driving east ---- approx. 40 miles west of Washington D.C ---- around 9 p.m. on a divided highway going about 55 mph.
I was looking east....when I saw a large bluish-white light coming from the eastern horizon heading west --- my guesstimate of the speed --- approx. 12,000 mph, putting the foofighter's altitude just above the low thin cloud cover.
I quickly looked to the western horizon....but seemingly the foofighter did not appear to have gone over to the western horizon. I then looked up toward the metal roof of the van...and realized that the foofighter had possibly made an instant stop --- somewhere in the atmosphere above our heads. That's when I seemed to sense his Lordship's presence.
One minute later...a very large [approx. 500 to 700 feet in diameter, about 1 mile away] reddish-orange ball of fusion plasma --- with no fiery tail --- emerged from the low thin cloud cover, and made a slow [approx. 30 mph] perpendicular descent to earth; which seemed to land just beyond the mountain range facing east. As it was making it's descent, the foofighter lit-up the whole eastern sky, the mountain and the valley below us.
