Time: 10:30pm 2/24/25 Location: Lakeway, Tx To start, I’ve never seen or experienced anything like this, nor had I sought an encounter. I was celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday at my mom’s house with a late dinner. As it became later I decided we needed to make the drive from lakeway to my apartment complex 30 minutes away. My path of travel was from what’s considered “old lakeway” to 620 all the way to Lake Creek Pkwy. We say our goodbyes and head to my car, everything completely routine and uneventful. Nothing out of the ordinary besides a call from our neighbor asking if we had water at our place, fire alarms were going off and water was shut down to all buildings. We talked about how bad management was and speculated on why. About 10 or so minutes into this conversation I’m approaching the intersection to 620 from I believe Lakeway Blvd, all of a sudden I felt unnaturally ill, nausea like I’ve never experienced and weird temperature spikes low first then hot. It was aligned with my hitting my brakes and witnessing this object all within probably 1-3 seconds. I can perfectly recall my girlfriend and her friend, the neighbor, just talking as I was driving and listening. I was in full autopilot mode, but simultaneously I felt that hit my brakes, and my girlfriend stopped mid conversation. I believe she stopped talking the moment before I hit my brakes, this was also a split second before from the right side of the road traveling the direction I was about to turn at this light, a black object appeared. Perfectly triangular but horizontally positioned, hovering, but traveling a speed I’ve yet to see from anything. In that same second, I can’t say for certain, but it seemed either my perception fully heightened or it became slo motion in my mind, lastly maybe this object slowed down tenfold in a split second, then resumed at 200+ mph by my guess. To preface, the object appeared 2D, hard to say what size, but definitely at least the size of a full size suv. It was completely black, darker than the night surrounding it, but not reflecting and light from buildings or the stop lights. Like a tear in the fabric of my understanding of vision. It cast no shadow. So as it came and went, which I turned my head to watch, it vanished as quick as it appeared. Something in me didn’t believe it as i subconsciously tried to ignore it or dismiss it as nothing. I began driving for about 3-5 feet before looking at my girlfriend, she either was already facing me or she also was looking the direction of what I just saw. I asked her “did you see something?” and she said “yeah,” which then caused me and her to freak out. She told her friend one second and she’d call her back. I asked her what she saw, and she stated something insanely fast, but described that she felt like she was going to throw up, and a primal fear. I shared the same thing just slightly different wording. I then turned and exclaimed “wtf was that?!” That continued for 5-10 minutes as I made my way towards Mansfield dam and onwards. I explained how I thought I was just tripping, and her the same. Before I said anything else, I said to her that we should get home, go in separate rooms and draw what we saw. To mention, I hadn’t seen a single car on the road up until I reached halfway to Mansfield dam, as I caught up to another car. I wondered if they had seen this, or what in the world happened. We got home, I opened up a box of pens gave her one, grabbed the first thing I could draw on and went to the bedroom. She stayed out at the kitchen counter. I finished mine, asked her if she was done, and once she finished went out to her. It was the exact same drawing as me, I told her to try and draw the surroundings instead of just the object as I did the same thing. Below I have the image I took at 11:34 that night. I’ve kept this to family and a few people I trust. I had an interesting conversation with a customer today that made me feel the need to find out how many people have also seen something along the lines of this. I legit have had Reddit for over 5 years and never once created a post or joined a community to share anything other than a comment or two. If anyone has questions or has seen anything like this, please let me know. I was made aware of government/private sector craft by this customer that people described the same or relatively similar feeling and object. submitted by /u/nickfreeman17 [link] [comments]
