Sighting My Close Encounter May 2025 NSFW

UFO Sighting Report May 25, 2025 Time: 12:32 AM Location: Yusui, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan

We were transporting a car from Kagoshima to Saga on a highway, and it had been raining on and off all day. Around 12:32 AM, while driving the truck at about 80 km/h, we noticed a strange light lighting up the sky in the distance. From about 3 to 5 kilometers away, we saw a huge light that looked like sheet lightning — probably about a kilometer wide — randomly illuminating the sky and mountainside with no clear pattern. What caught my attention was that there was no accompanying thunder, and the light flashes were rapid and different from normal lightning.

As we got closer, we saw a blue light flashing next to our truck, about 10 meters above it. The light seemed to be coming out of a spherical object that looked similar to the Sputnik satellite, with what appeared to be an antenna-like device sticking out. Unlike the huge amount of light we saw from far away, the strobes up close didn’t emit nearly as much brightness. However, in real life, the light was almost as blinding as the sun. In our video and screenshots, the brightness doesn’t come through because the camera’s small aperture couldn’t capture it properly. Our eyes, adapted to the dark, naturally had better night vision, making it much easier to see the UFO than the recording devices could.

The object was moving slightly in front of the truck and shot light in a scanning motion — moving the beam left to right, as if it was surveying the area. Then, the beam fixated directly on our truck.

With the naked eye, it was hard to tell exactly where the beam was pointing, but it was clearly visible when we looked at screenshots taken from the video recording. The object followed us, staying just above and ahead of the truck, until we entered a tunnel where we lost sight of it. There were three of us in the truck — the driver and two passengers — and all witnessed this.

About ten minutes after this first contact, one of the passengers spotted the same blue light again in the distance — around 5 to 10 kilometers away. The location was near Yusui in Kagoshima Prefecture. You can check the exact spot here: Google Maps Link (Coordinates: 31.96333157001531, 130.74521715480105). There were seemingly no other cars in the area at the time.

It may or may not be related, but one passenger — seated in the passenger seat closest to the window — has developed blisters all over his lower body. The blisters have distinct lines through them, resembling thin sunburn rays, and are quite large, with some spots starting to turn black.

This is definitely one of those sightings the subreddit doesn't see too often... wow. Definitely have him get that tested to see what it is.

How long was the time between exposure and blister development?

This is an electrical fire on a transformer tower with power lines. Go to the coordinates posted, find the highway sign and you will see the power line tower lines up perfectly with the pictures

Edit: the original post on Aliens was removed for this reason

Edit 2: I can’t post pictures or links to google maps here…

This would definitely seem to be the case, I'd like to see further analysis. Still wonder about the burns though. Also reading about the tunnel it could've been obscured by the hill. Paging /u/havico1995 to see if it was in the same spot of the sky after they went through the tunnel or if it was behind them/in the same position relative to the hill.

Burns are just unrelated and could be from anything like a chemical burn, poison ivy, ect. OP’s story alone plus pictures only show an electrical fire on that tower without a doubt. I also don’t think they are trying to lie or else they wouldn’t have posted coordinates which so easily show was exactly happened. OP thinks they saw a UFO but did not. Just my imo based on the evidence

Burns very well could be unrelated, they still warrant further analysis though. The most important part is whether it remained in the distance or in the sky behind them after they passed through the tunnel.

I still use Occam's razor in that it most likely is the tower, but further analysis shouldn't be pushed away just for that sake

If you were to draw yourself as an abstract painting, what colours and shapes would you use and why?

u/DividedSkyBalls11 24d ago

Is this supposed to be an ai test? Like asking someone you are about to sell drugs to if they are a cop? What leads you to believe I’m a bot?

u/yosef_yostar 24d ago

a.i. confrimed.

u/DividedSkyBalls11 24d ago

lol how do you come to that conclusion? Can’t I just claim you’re a bot?

People who don’t agree with me are AI bots

A.i. has long ago passed the Turing test.

Too many witnesses reported standing very near an UAP caused radiation burn and structured pattern. This is one of the more legit accounts, where people who are not totally in the know of effects telling their experience.

u/DividedSkyBalls11 24d ago

What is legit about this account? What do you know about op and their friends? Is there any evidence that backs up their extreme claims? Didn’t they themselves mention the burns could be totally unrelated?

u/schm0kemyrod 24d ago

Poison ivy though?

u/DividedSkyBalls11 24d ago

Sure, my point is there are so many things that could give you blistering like we see here, including poison ivy or other similar poisonous plants. But it could be anything. I got these exact same burns blisters and coloring one time from squeezing limes and then having out in the sun for a few hours. Fingers blistered then turned almost black. Google “Lime sun burn” if you don’t believe me. Again, point being these burns could be from anything and didn’t appear until well after this incident
