When you meditate it can go on for a while right? 40minutes maybe more? and most of the time your eyes are closed, could it be that after you opened your eyes they were trying to adjust?

Meditation comes in various flavors and varieties. I myself tend to practice the breathing method. Breathing in a deep breath until my entire lungs are full and my diaphragm is pushed up, hold for a few seconds, then exhale, gradually trying to get the length of the inhale to match the exhale (actually takes practice to get it naturally). I tend to do this while doing menial tasks like the dishes, or repetitive tasks that require limited brain function at work. All of which have me meditating with my eyes open.
You don't have to sit funny, close your eyes, burn incense, or listen to Sitar music to meditate, that's just new age yoga. Meditation is an internal, in your mind, thing and some people require almost absolute isolation to pull it off.
I don't. I find it relaxing, helps me clear my mind as I tend to have an over active brain.
I've never witnessed anything neat, I've never left my body, and no mystical knowledge has ever come my way.
And yes, I do partake in some activities that are not to be mentioned here, they do not help meditation at all and infact make it almost impossible for me.

@OP
The part that bothers me about this is that you start the story out explaining you are making a movie, and your "actor" friend has a porfolio of alien ships in pictures and videos.
Care to share what type of movie you are making.... share to everyone else i mean as I already have a pretty good idea...edit on 8-1-2013 by phishyblankwaters because: (no reason given)

This interests me because of the flood of reports on creatures being seen and the different feelings associated with such experience.

How can you say only two groups of people practice meditation with their eyes open? This comment is absurd and makes you sound silly. I have plenty of friends that open their eyes while meditating as well.

My brother used to do OBE, he became quite good at it, and one time while I was talking to him about aliens and greys he told me, "...but hey, aren't those guys spirits, like ghosts?" I was dumbfounded and asked him to explain further. He told me that one time while in his OBE session, he was exploring some woods near his apt and he said he saw 2 of what we call greys. He said they were a little blurry, glowing in the dark woods, and one of them looked at him for a few seconds then went about doing whatever he was doing. My brother also was not scared while in his OBE session.
That always left me thinking that maybe these beings exist or can exist in a sort of spirit realm, where we can maybe interact with them or simply see them through different states of consciousness. just my 2cents.

When he says he doesn't do drugs, he means "illegal" drugs. Almost everyone is on drugs, sadly.

You're right. Welcome to the paranoiac realm of [mis-]information galore, ATS. Let me be forthright. What sort of meditation do you practice?
Regardless of what you practice, my advice on such things as you describe in the original post is simply this:
Forget it ever happened.
Looking into these matters will only create trouble in your life. If it happens again, pray to a higher power, if you believe in one, and if you do not believe, and if you have more experiences of this type do try to find a source of spiritual refuge that works for you.
The entities you describe are negative, in my experience and that of countless others. They should be avoided like the plague.
This time, I'm not joking or being silly. Please take it seriously.
Sincerely
Namdru
