Did anyone else see it?
Something happened that you cannot explain, and you have probably stopped telling people about it. Tell us instead. We will go looking for the others.

Standing in the yard after midnight I heard three slow knocks come from the treeline, then something answered from the other side of the field. The dogs would not go out.
The room is where people talk about this rather than file it, and the record is everything written down so far.
What people tell us about
There is a name for the territory this covers. High strangeness is the part of an account that will not reduce to a mistake: not a light somebody misjudged, but the detail that makes no sense however generously you read it. This record is deliberately not about one kind of it.
Nobody picks a category when they write to us. These are the kinds of experience the accounts sorted themselves into.

What happened on this day, in other years, or what happened near you
The dated archives run from 1947 to now, the oldest sworn testimony is from 1817, and almost every date in the year has something in it. Or open one at random.

I want to start with tonight, while it is fresh in my mind. My girlfriend and I let the dogs out to the bathroom around 1am. She instantly said she thought she heard something in the valley below our home, and…

Sometimes a lot of people describe the same thing at once
Nobody filed these as events. They surfaced on their own, when strangers in different towns wrote down the same thing on the same day, without ever meeting.
21
people in 19 different places, all on 1997-07-04, describing blue light and green light.
Some of those nights are famous. Most are not. Twenty-four of them have no name at all, no ordinary explanation, and nobody has ever looked at them.
The unnamed nightsEvery other cluster
Half the people here were answered by somebody who had not written yet
51%
of the accounts that found a match found it in an account written later than their own. The median wait was 6 years. 1,324 people waited a decade or more to find out they were not the only one.
That is the difference between this and a filing cabinet. Adding a report to an ordinary database does nothing to the reports already in it. Here, everything that arrives is searched against what is already here, so a new one can answer an old one. Somebody wrote theirs down years ago and heard nothing. Yours might be the answer. How that is measured
And now you can reach them
Finding somebody who described the same thing has always been the point. Now, when they choose to be reachable, you can message them privately through the site. Never a name, never an address, and either of you can stop at any time. Not just a match, but a way to tell the one person who would understand that it happened to you too.
53,038 accounts are in the record so far, the oldest sworn testimony from 1817. When you add yours, we search for the ones that describe the same thing and show you exactly why we connected anything we found. How that works
