My Inexplicable Plane

I will briefly introduce myself, I’ve been reading threads, posts on ATS for about a year, I must admit UFO’s are the reason I gravitated towards here. This is the myth busters of the internet, it always goes down the rabbit hole, most of the time it doesn’t always take you to wonderland, it never gives up trying though.

This experience happened to me back in summer 2008 in Wales/ UK, it's perplexed me to this day. I basically want to share it with you to figure out what the hell happened and more importantly whether anybody else has had a similar experience.
I was working as a Taxi driver on a Friday night, I cleaned the car (keep note of this) and it was the start of the shift. I used to radio in to the Taxi office just as I left my house, the operator said there was pick up in Asda's supermarket.
I picked the woman up from Asdas, then drove towards a roundabout about quarter of a mile up the road. Approaching the roundabout from my right going towards my left of the windscreen there was a huge Aeroplane, it was at a very low altitude and speed, around 60 -100 meters in front of my car, it was military green and had four jet engines. If I was pressed to describe it looked similar to a KC 135 but it had smaller engines. The plane looked like it was loosing altitude, almost like it was going to land.
At this point I thought its going to crash into the recreational fields/golf course as it went out of my view I was still driving and took the first left which eventually goes back onto the road adjacent to recreational fields/golf course.
The woman next to me in the front seat saw the same plane, even though we never went into great detail we were both worried about a plane crash. I raced towards the road next to the recreational fields but there was no sign of any plane, explosion, etc. Weirdly none of the numerous people in the field acted like a huge Aeroplane had just flown over their heads.
Both me and my passenger were baffled, I dropped her off and made my way back to the office, I asked the radio operators whether the plane had been reported in.
There was over twenty over drivers all over the county it was bound to be seen by someone else. No one saw the plane and the operators thought I was joking, it was at that time I began to think what the hell just happened.
I don't know if you noticed already but there is one missing element to a jet plane relatively close to you? sound I should have heard a roaring/deaf inducing sound if not then the plane definitely would have crashed.
To make it even stranger I had trouble recalling the experience adequately, even at one point remembering that I was on another part of the roundabout when clearly I wasn't. It's a memory that should have been embossed in my brain, it is now dream like.
The only explanation I can come to is the cleaning products (anti bacterial spray) I used in the car caused a hallucination but the woman passenger also seeing the same plane at the same time makes this theory less likely.
If any of you have got a theory, maybe something on ATS that was similar or your own experience then I would love to hear it.

Closing Thread

The Introduction Forum is for introductions To tell something about you; not to start a thread about a topic.“Intro threads” that are really “topic threads” will be removed.
Welcome to ATS, it’s time to introduce yourself.

I'm sure you'll understand the necessity for us having rules like this. It helps keep all the great threads and topics in their perspective areas of interest and not all lumped together, making it difficult to find when wanting to make additional comments. Please see the posts below for a presentation tour that will help orient you in the right direction.

With that said, I'm going to have to close this thread as it does not comply with the above stated rules. Please, (after you have managed to get 20 posts under your belt), feel free to start your own thread in one of the appropriate areas.

Please refer to the final post for more on this....

Hmm, weird story and one I can't explain but welcome to ATS nonetheless. A group hallucination does indeed sound unlikely but it's not anything I know much about either.

Anyway, welcome and I look forward to seeing you on the boards.

AboveTopSecret is much like a theme park with many, many rides, with that said...
Here's a few thoughts before getting onto any one of the 1000's of topical rides at Above Top Secret, also known as ATS, the world's largest Civil & Unique Discussion Community.

*** Please be at least this tall to get on any of the rides, (Johnny stretches his arm outward), and act like an 'civil' adult. This will save you a lot of future stress, frustration and possible action by one of your friendly neighborhood Mods!

*** Please remember that some members are very passionate and vocal depending on what ride your on. Before getting on a ride, you should be mentally fit, emotionally stable and have a strong stomach for theories, conjecture, research and evidence presented that may be contrary to your own.

*** Please be "open-minded" enough to understand that sometimes the ride isn't always what you might think or expect. At times, you may learn something new and 'out-of-the-box' before you get off the ride, this is a natural and normal phenomena.

*** Please note that at times the ride gets overly-heated and "it's strongly suggested" to get off the ride to regroup one's thoughts before continuing. This will also help guarantee that the ride will move forward without getting derailed or explode into a fiery trashbin.

*** Please have fun! Be aware if you act in an uncivil-like manner, use profanity, intentionally spread a hoax and/or get verbally abusive, you will be removed off the ride by a Moderator. This is for your safety, & also for those both young and old on the ride with you.

So buckle up, keep your arms within the ride's comfort zone, have fun and "Deny Ignorance"...!
