The Strange Coincidences Archive

OK, this is from the strange barrel.

I dreamt of UFOs Friday night, just hundreds of them everywhere. So last night after the compass thing (two posts below this one). Instead of going home I went to sit on a bench for a bit and look at the sky. It must have been between 1 – 2 am.

I kept on looking at the sky after a while I saw an object. It kept on course south to north. It was bigger than the stars. No sound, no lights or blinking ones at that – although the illumination was pale orange but so are our city lights. So it could have been ambiant light.

I’ve seen birds before illuminated in the same way and gliding in a straight path.

I didn’t see any wings this time. The strange part is that the object continued up into the sky, changed it’s path of flight. At least that’s what I observed. I saw it for at least 5 minutes, before I could not distinguish it among the stars. I could have sworn it wobbled and changed direction really high up.

The stranger part is that when I could not see it anymore. I saw another one a bit further back and it did the same thing, went up to the same general area of the sky.

Issues:

Balloon from a dealership, which that’s what I thought at first but the size of it was way bigger than a 3ft diameter balloon. I had few trees and buildings for refrence. It was close enough to see what it’s not and too far away to see what it is. So it was a meteorological balloon. Fine, I’ll buy that but who lets these out at 1 am on saturday night? However, air traffic is lighter then, so it makes sense. One thing I can’t explain is color intensity. If it’s ambiant light from city lights it would have faded over time but it didn’t. I’ve seen sattelites before, definitely wasn’t it. There was no wind last night either, although yes at highier altitudes could be different.

The wobbling could have been my eyes. I’ve stared at a star before and “saw” it move around.

Just realized it’s not the first time I’ve seen objects like this in the area.

one day when i was at a beach house previousley owned by my dead uncle my mum announced she was going to go for a walk, and off she went, about 30 secondas after she left i started running after her, when i caught up to her i said mum i am coming with you, she suddenly said not with no shoes on your not ( i was’nt wearing shoes at the time,being a teenager i objected and said no but she gave me the keys th othe beach house and off i went.
when i got back to the house the key i had got dropped as i picked it up it got caught in the deck and bent, when i eventually got it out and tried to put it in the lock it woul’nt go in, so i ran back to my mum and we continued walking, when we got to the beach we met mygrand ma and we walked for about a kilometer, i was entertaining my self by walking on the sand dunes, but my grand ma had just told my mum that the sand dunes had been collapsing, so she told me to get off them, so I jumped off as i landed on the sand a branch under the sand peirced my foot, it went through the bottom and out the top,after the operations to remove the branch my grandma told me that my uncle who had recently passed away did the same thing to his foot when he was the same age as me at the same stretch of beach.

when im browsing the web, i sometimes look down at the time without thinking about it. Its strange how often all three numbers are the same

As I read through this post from way back I looked “down at the time” it was 11:01

My wife and I. Our paths have crossed in the summer of ‘87 on a one in a lifetime trip for both of us. We don’t remember exact dates. This detail came out years later after we met in ‘95 half way across the world.

We’re both tauruses our birthdays are one day apart. May 1st and April 29th.

When we watch movies, or look at something we gasp, laugh… etc… exactly the same way and same intonation.

I think of her, or talk about her, she calls me within minutes. Sometimes I catch myself thinking of her and all I can say is oops and she calls. Once it happened while I was explaining this to someone. It was funny.

When we first met we went out to eat. When we put down our glasses with coke. We looked at eachother. That was the first time we realized we had connection. We picked up the glasses at the same time, drank put down the glasses and there was same amount of coke in each glass.

The most amazing:

In ‘97 we both had pagers. She paged me in the morning. I called she said she’ll be on 5th floor of the library until 5pm studying for test, also that she forgot her pager. We were going to meet after 5 at her place.
I finished school early that day 1PM. I wanted to surprise her so I bought flowers. Had keys to her place. It was an in and out job so I parked in 30 min loading zone. Ran upstairs left flowers in middle of the room, wrote a little note. Ran out, as the door slammed I realized I left my keys inside.
Didn’t want my car towed so I had to hang around. I was not on the lease so manager would not open doors for me. She forgot her pager. All I had was the number from one of the payphones somewhere in the library when she paged me in the morning. I had only 3 quarters = 3 phonecalls. Wanted some good samaritan to find a girl with curly black hair and tell her to come home. I call once, someone picked up and hung up. I call again same thing happened. With my last quarter I made the call. Someone did pick up, I heard “Hello?” with a familiar voice. Hello.?..?” I said with disbelief. She asked “What are you doing?” I said what is she doing? She said she didn’t feel like studying anymore so she was on her way home.

By all means we’re not a perfect couple. We’re on the same wavelength only when we’re in harmony. Meaning when we both in good standing with eachother without anger, guilt, etc… when we both feel pure love for eachother.

One more little detail. We’re of different cultures, religions, skin tone, yet we connect on this intuitive level.

We don’t believe in coincidences anymore. Everything happens on purpose. Great website!

Hope you don’t mind the length.

There are alot more things that happen to us on daily basis, like seeing 11:11 or 2:22 (happened today actually.)

I am happy to share this with you. If you have any thoughts, comments or questions feel free to contact me. Wish you all there is…

Where do i start…...well I decided to do my family tree on a website, just for a record to pass onto my son. After registering I was contacted by a lady in the other side of the world, she was trying to seek infomation on her husbands birth mother. He was 57 and only found out he was adopted 5 years ago, when his adopted father died he discovered his birth certificate and realised his true birht mothers name. It matched my grandmothers name so naturally when a name match was established we spoke via email. I enquired to my father about this situation and asked if this could be possible. My father was open minded as there was alot of missing links when he was a child and never knew a father etc.

as communications went on photos were exchanged and the likeness was amazing. My grandmother had passed away and with no real idea as to the possibility of my father and her husband being related.

In the time that we exchange emails and various infomation I kept stuimbling upon coincidences, a numnerous amount, I found it fasinating and exciting all at the same time.

I did a search of the address that was on the birth certificate of this man on the other side of the world, I search a street called heddon place, there were 2 matches 1 in Birmingham where this guy was bornm and 1 round the corner from where we grew up in leeds. strange.

my father changed his name by depol and the new name matched his (soon to discover) brothers wifes name and my dad changed his name in 1968, his brother in married 2000.

I met my partner, my name is michelle and I have long curly blonde hair- im a leo. When my partner was talking to his mum he was told of a new horse bought by his parents and they told him its names, its racing name was ” golden girl michelle.Its stable name -leo” he hadnt told them about me.strange, all this went on arround the same time.

When researching the passed which I could I also discovered that my nan lived in dorset nr a place called maiden newton- my partners mums maiden name was newton.

There were many more little coincidences and after a while I thought wow, these arent everday things are they, really remarkable coincidences.

Eventually for peace of mind a dna test was done a man in australia and my father. It was positive really amazing. my father grew up not knowing any family and all that time he has a brother.

A neighbour of my dads has the same surname as my dads original name and on the day I was contacted by lady is Oz, my dads neighbour gave my dad a plant, his stars said you will be given gift and receive a message from overseas.That was quite a good one.

The story goes on, we would love to meet our new found family but unfortunatley financial situations are preventing at the moment but one day we will all get together and have a big hug and laugh about it all.

hi, i just heard today that when my dad was helping my little sister find a good way to tie her teddy bear to her swing he turned away to do something else and when he looked back at my little sister, she had already tied her bear to the swing the exact way my dad had just thought up of

This is weirdd.. k me and my brother are twins, and for some reason i decided to go onto this website today cuz i was bored, and low and behold, i see my brothers account of his coincidence dream which what this site immediately made me think of. and he didnt post it when it happened, he for some reason decided to post it like 5years after it happened, so like what are the chances that he waits 5 years to post an old account of coincidence on a random site only for me to go on this site not even 2 weeks later and see his name?? by the way, my bro is the one who tells of his prophetic dream about sept 11 the night before it happened, he’s Brian M, I’m brandon m.

The following happens to me ALL THE TIME. I can’t explain it. It’s gotten to the point of really freaking me out. I’ll go to bed thinking of a movie or a song, and that’ll be the first thing I see or hear on the radio or on tv when I get up in the morning. It’s not so much music, as it is with movies or tv shows. For instance, last night I went to bed with the “Philadelphia” song in my head. I thought to myself, “I haven’t seen that movie in a long time, I should rent that tomorrow night. I turned on the tv this morning, and “Philadelphia” was playing on A&E. What are the odds of that? I used to think nothing of this. But, like I said, it happens to me so often, that It has to mean something.

My coincidence occurs infrequently, but to often not to go unnoticed. It really frightens me because I am a well moraled person. Well here it is, I occasionally see the numbers “666”. For example, with one of my previous jobs I was a cashier and in three times in one day the total of someone’s transaction would come to 6.66. Or if number cards fell in front of me they would fall in that order showing 666. If I was counting something my total would come to 666. Or I could be looking at highway signs and somehow these numbers become coherent. This is a very odd, scary, thing. Every so often I see this scary occuring coincidence. And it makes me very uncomfortable. I don’t know why a loving person constantly observes this, but that is my scary account.

My husband was married prior and had a son that died from short bowel syndrome at age 2.
When we married we had two great kids. My son was six months old when he became very ill. After two weeks of home therapy antibiotics, he was placed in the hospital.
My husband’s son had been in the same hospital many times due to his illness and it was not so much of a coincidence that we ended up in one of the same rooms his son had several years prior.
But
We had two of the same nurses.
We had the same surgeon – he had done 17 surgeries on my husband’s son and was retiring that day – until he saw my husband. He said whatever was wrong he was going to do the surgery. He stayed onboard for 16 long days and did two surgeries on my son before he retired. We were his last surgery.
They finally diagnosed my son with an infection that had started in his intestines – or gut.
We entered the hospital on his son’s birthdate.
My husband’s father died on the 22nd. My husband’s first wife’s mother died on the 22nd. My husband died on the 22nd.
