My family has built a summer house basically in the middle of nowhere. This is my "happy place" I like to visit when the warm season starts to get away from the everyday city life. There is lots of rural things to do like mushrooming, fishing and in the evenings enjoying a good sauna. Since it is in the middle of nowhere the sky at night is amazing, no light pollution and you can see the milky way and thousands of stars. Unfortunately in the past years so many weird things have happened to me there while looking at the night sky that I am not comfortable visiting there by myself any longer. There are many sightings I've had that have been quite uneventful, quite sure they have been satellites or something but I will write down two of the most significant encounters I've had. First encounter happened in July 2023. I reached the summer house about mid day and since the weather was really good I immedeatly took advantage of it. Since our summer house is near a big lake I threw some nets in the water so I could hopefully catch some fish. I did some chores around the house, grilled some barbeque and made fire in the sauna so I could relax in it later. Back then I smoked cigarettes so I went out a lot and when it got dark I always watched the night sky while doing it. At one cigarette break I watched the night sky and I saw this star moving. At a quick glance I thought oh cool a satellite but then when I focused more on it I knew this was no satellite. The movement of this star was not regular, it was sort of jerking in the sky. Sort of moved, stopped, moved, stopped. At that point I also realized that whatever this was was not up high but quite low. When I really focused on it I saw that this "star" was actually a "light" on a V shaped object on the front of it. Then it made some weird manouvers, while it was fidgeting on a straight line at first it kind of jerked to the side. There was absolutely no sound. Then my heart stopped and full panic mode kicked in. I went in the summer house so fast, packed all my shit, threw some water in the sauna fire to extinguish it, threw my shit in the car and floored it away from there. It was around 23-01 when I started driving and I immedeatly called my mother who is closest to the summer house and told her what I saw and asked her to take me in for the night. While I was driving, probably the panic but I really felt like I was being watched, I frantically looked at the mirrors while driving to see if whatever it is was following me but fortunately it was not. The story does not end here though. After week or two later I visited my moms again and I saw this jerky-move-stop-move light in the sky again while I was smoking on her balcony. I had my phone this time and I started filming. This time I did not see the V shape, only the light but to me it looked it was also way higher up. I will post the reddit thread with the video here. People told that it was ISS, perhaps. But the way it looked to me with naked eye, fidgeting, it does not make sense to me. Filmed with shaky hand on a potato, I know https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/15eamiu/ufo_filmed_1607_0017_estonia_põlva/ This was also not the end of it as I saw that same jerking light in the sky for about a year. Even made a thread about it after one incident happened https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1cdv28y/what_looks_like_a_moving_star_that_moves_in_a/ Have not seen it since then, but then again I quit smoking so I have less reasons to go outside at night anymore. Second incident happened september 2025. The start of the story is the same, I enjoyed myself, made some barbeque, had couple of beers and took in the beauty of the nature and peace. When it was around 23 and the amazing night sky became visible I was about to head out on the trampoline. This is something I really enjoyed doing, just lying on the trampoline and watching the night sky. When I was heading out to it I watched up for a second and then I noticed a part of the sky was missing, like there was this round black hole with no stars at one part of the sky exactly on top of me. Then there was this flash in that black circle and all the stars were back again. Seeing that I nearly relieved myself then and there. I immedeatly went back inside. At first I thought maby alcohol played some part on it but I was not black out drunk, just a little tipsy and I looked straight at it. Then I realized the horror that I was trapped there since I was still tipsy and driving is a big no. So basically with all lights on tried to take my mind off it playing video games and around 5-6 when the sun rose again I packed all my shit and got away from there. From here on out I am no longer comfortable going there by myself. Not a native English speaker so sorry for any grammatical mistakes. submitted by /u/Styr0foam [link] [comments]
