I was going to add this to an existing thread I started last week regarding information overload as this may have some connection here, but I'll
throw this out here anyway in the event someone else can offer their PoV.
I'll first talk about the odd experience and then discuss why I scribbled into the title about a possible CERN connection.
I was at a BBQ this past Saturday the 23rd. And like clock-work I immediately upon arriving grabbed for a cold beer (Corona), popped the cap and took
a long gulp. I sat down and placed the bottle on the table in front of me where I was sitting. The single gulp put the level of beer at around an
inch below the 'neck' of the bottle. Now this isn't a tale about celebrating my beer-drinking prowess. It's important to note however the level
of beer at this point. After placing the bottle on the table, I watched the beer swish from side to side until it finally settled and was motionless.
My mind wandered a bit as I stared at the bottle on the table. What happened next was really bizarre. The level of beer suddenly jumped up about an
inch and settled at even level with the neck of the bottle. I actually
saw this happen. I didn't turn away in that moment, or see it from the
corner of my eye, it
popped in that very moment as I stared at it. No one switched the bottle in that time and no one other than me was
closest to it.
Now let me also mention that I wasn't drunk--atleast not yet--this was literally the first sip of a beer I had taken, nor was I on drugs, nor
anything that would otherwise attribute to this
experience. Could I have been daydreaming...possibly? I can't really explain it other than
that it seemed to be
real. Define real?
Anyway, I brought up CERN because I told this to a friend of mine who said that within hours of my experience CERN had
tested something with their particle collider and I could have
xperienced some sort of residual time shift effect, much the same as de ja vu. Now having friends that are up on alternative topics you tend to get
explanations like this rather than something mundane like, "dude you must have been wasted." So the first place I thought to come to share was of
course ATS.
I can't pinpoint the exact moment this happened in terms of time, but it was most likely around 10:00pm EST (my wife and I were late comers). I
wanted to throw this out there to everyone not so much to hear back from you about possible explanations of what I experienced (i.e., You're crazy,
put down the pipe, etc.) but rather if anyone else has had similar
bizarre experiences these past few days especially around Saturday evening.
Definitely a stretch...possibly worth a look.
