Hey Anonymous Coward 683898,

I had an experience similar to yours but I wasn't asleep and my sister also saw it.  We were young, it happened in the 70's.  I woke up and saw a green orb (glowing green) the size a tennis ball at the base of my sisters bed. I thought it might have been a sticker or something that glowed in the dark so when I asked here what it was she got up to look.  She had her blanket wrapped around her and when she got close it JUMPED onto her blanket! She screamed, dropped the blanket and jumped onto my bed. We both freaked out! I got brave and ran across the room to turn on the light but when the light was turned on there was nothing there! I turned off the light again to see if was still there and it reappeared. I don't know why we didn't wake up my parents but we ended up sleeping with the light on in the same bed scared to death til the next morning. We still talk about it and it still remains a mystery.

Original Message I was about 14 years old, laying in bed to go to sleep. Soon after passing the threshold of sleep, where external conciousness mostly fades away and deep sleep is imminent (hypergogic, hypnopompic?) I had the most unusual sensation, like a voice in my head - but not a voice - more of a feeling that exclaimed 'wake up. wake up now!' The feeling was neither malevolent nor benevolent, just matter-of-fact.

What I saw when I opened my eyes (I'm convinced I actually awoke and opened my eyes) was a green orb of light, dimmer than a lightbulb about as bright as glow-in-the-dark tritium, slightly larger than a softball, hovering motionless a few inches off the ground in a darkened corner of my bedroom.

As soon as I registered what I saw it dissapeared, less than one second.

As i only received a brief glimpse I shrugged it off as a figment of my imagination and attempted to go back to sleep. A few minutes later it happened again, same state of sleep, same feeling to awake, same green orb. However it stayed for 2 or 3 seconds before dissapearing or winking out (I can't remember which) so I had no doubt I saw something. I also have no doubt I was awake because I ran into my mom's bedroom and slept in her bed the rest of the night because I was terrified (hot, I know).

I've had no other encounters or memories of anything strange though my mom swears that a similar orb approached her very closely outside of her (another) house several years later.

WTF glp?
