    Mrs. George and I were at a stoplight this AM. As we waited for the light to change, the oncoming traffic got their green light (and left turn arrow).

      😳 Holy shit.

      "That was impressive, can you smell it?"

      Probably would have been the first thing I said/noticed. 😄

      Please love yourself.

          The interesting thing is that, as we continued our drive for the next 20 minutes, we talked about how it happened.

          I told Mrs. George how it was amazing that the car in front of us got t-boned and got turned around to face south. She said, "No, it was TWO cars in front of us."

          Well it turns out we were both wrong. It was a car that was approaching us that got slammed.

          Makes you wonder about "eye-witnesses."

            They weren’t speeding but they also never slowed. My bet? Distracted. Maybe texting?

              George, did you think maybe your dash cam recording would help the cops/insurance determine exactly what happened? Does your dashcam save the recording for a while?

                @Rainman sure did. This happened at about 8:45 AM. We got home at noon, and I called the police and told them I had video. They referred me to the investigating cop and my call went to voicemail. I left my name, phone # and email for him.

                Haven't heard back - yet.

                BTW: I edited the video to make it shorter and cropped it to remove the extraneous stuff.

                My dash cam records 3 minute videos and stores them on a memory card. The amount of video is limited by the size of the card. It also has a motion sensor, so it sees people walking by your car. I captured someone in our garage at about 5 AM today.

                  I remember that the UFO believers way back when used to say, just because we don't have a picture of aliens doesn't mean that they don't exist.

                  Afterall, they said, we know car accidents happen every day and nobody has ever taken a picture of a car accident.

                  Now, everybody has taken a picture of a car accident. But still no aliens.

                    Exactly, it is funny now that almost everyone has a camera with them 24/7, yet most of the UFO pictures date from 30 years ago or more. LOL

                      If they can master the technology required for faster-than-light travel, I think they can figure out how to not be properly photographed. My MIL has an uncanny ability to dodge every candid photograph ever taken and she's never left her zip code.

                        Perhaps space aliens know how to avoid getting into car accidents. Either that or they don’t drive on US roads.

                          For years, their main destination appeared to be American trailer parks, presumably because it was easier for aliens to blend in there. At this point, they've probably perfected their camouflage so that they can pass by unnoticed elsewhere.

                            Tucker had a story last night about UAP's in Wisconsin. So your point is well-taken.

                                The light seen by that guy on Tucker last night looked like a laser pointer shining on the clouds to me. I thought it was really obvious, but it was never mentioned.

                                      Haven’t heard a thing. I called the police telling them I had video. They are strangely uninterested.

                                        Bit too much Christmas cheer, I imagine.

                                        My guess is texting and not seeing their light change to red.
