A Strange Encounter When I Was 7 Years Old

I am currently 42 years old. This story happened when I was 7 years old, and it has stayed with me ever since.

One summer night, I went to spend the night at my grandmother's house. Her house was an old Arabic-style house with one large room, and two big doors, one on the right and one on the left. As was common back then, we slept with the doors wide open because of the summer heat, and the area was safe.

After a nice dinner and some children's stories, I fell asleep in the middle of the room with my family, and the doors were left wide open. Around 3 or 4 in the morning, I heard a loud sound coming from the sky. The sound grew louder, like the sound of flying saucers from American movies.

At that time, I didn't know anything about UFOs, as television was only owned by the wealthy. I was a child, and I had no knowledge of such things. I woke up terrified when I heard that sound, thinking it might be demons, as we were often warned about them in Algerian folklore.

I was terrified, and my heart was racing. My face was pale, and I could hardly breathe. I tried to scream, but I couldn't. I tried to speak to my family, but I couldn't. I tried to move, but I was completely paralyzed, as though I was bound.

After some time, I saw a bright column of light coming from the sky, shining through the roof. From this light, a strange creature appeared, one that I had never seen before in my life. It looked exactly like a UFO from the movies, with large eyes.

Then another creature, identical to the first, descended. The first creature walked up to the door and started staring at me with strange looks, as though it was searching for something specific in my personality.

I was frozen in place, unable to speak or move. It was as if I was bound by an invisible force. Then, I saw the first creature communicate telepathically with the second one, saying, "This is not the person we are looking for."

After that, both creatures turned and headed back toward the light. They ascended back into the spinning craft that resembled a flying saucer, just like the ones shown in the movies, with flashing lights. Then, the craft shot off into the sky at an incredible speed.

Once the craft disappeared, I was finally able to move and speak. I screamed out loud, waking up my family. They rushed to me, but no one believed me. They thought I was either lying or crazy.

Since that day, I have lived with this memory, and no one has ever believed my story.
