Weird experience

Hi all

Something strange just happened to me. It was almost dark- I'd just arrived home after visiting a friend. I got out of the car and as I did so I noticed a bright, reddish light in the sky to the east that appeared to be about the size of a bright star. It's completely overcast here and was below the cloud cover so it couldn't have been very high, it wasn't moving and there was no sound of engines or anything like that.

As I looked up at it I felt a strange sensation of pressure in my head accompanied by a vague feeling of dizzyness and disorientation. When I looked away the sensations quickly went, only to return as soon as I looked back at it.

This lasted for around a minute, then the light dimmed, seemed to pulsate slightly, and then disappeared. The sensations I was experiencing faded almost as soon as the light dimmed. I think it must have either winked out or travelled directly away from my line of sight into the clouds because there was still no obvious movement.


Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Cheers
