Things you've seen that other people should have but didnt (lighthearted)

Sorry for the odd title. I dont know how to say it. What things have you seen that definitely happened and there were other people who should have seen it too but didnt? I'm not particularly taking about spooky stuff.

Yesterday my husband saw a police raid. He said there were lots of police cars, people being arrested, quite a scene. He tends to downplay things if anything. This was on a major road into the city centre. Not one person seems to know about it. I know there may have been a news black out but not a peep on Facebook and the local groups go crazy if someone even so much as cycles on the pavement. Not a thing. No boarded up buildings or anything today. Literally as if he imagined the whole thing.

Years ago I was in a car waiting at some lights. A plane flew over. It was really, really low. Like far too low. I was actually quite scared. Busy road. Again, no one has a clue what I was talking about. No one saw this plane. It was before I knew about Flight radar. I dont see how I could have imagined it, the noise etc. If I did imagine it, that's quite scary for me.

Finally a daft one. I saw one of those moving billboards have a few slides with a really, really cringe engagement notice. It was really awful. In the middle of a shopping centre. No one believes me about it. It was there for at least a week and it cycled quite quickly. No one else saw it.

Not time slips because otherwise we're going to have a plane land on or very close to our house.

I find this more eerie than light hearted tbh!

That everything Trump was going to do was going to cause great harm.

Sorry, not hugely lighthearted...

I think plenty of people saw that one.

Not enough, apparently (sadly).

I saw a small plane fall out of the sky once. It was dark, and my boyfriend was driving me home. We were both completely sober and saw it flying really low over the dual carriageway in front of us. Then it turned upwards sharply, sort of twisted in the air before diving towards the ground disappearing behind some trees.

There was no explosion or anything, but on the dual carriageway we couldn't follow it to even check it out. Both of us saw the same thing, no one believed us and nothing on social media or anything (before flight radar).

When I was little I had two imaginary friends, Nancy and Bob.

My mum likes to remind me about this.

Only they weren't imaginary and I can remember them vividly! They used to come and talk to me at my bedroom window, followed me to my first day of school, etc.

I saw a huge fire in a property off a motorway but couldn’t find anything in the news/social media about it.
Also near to Castleton in the Peak District I saw a strange flying object - like nothing I’d ever seen before! I couldn’t find anything online about it, but there have been similar sightings at different times over the years.
