What's your creepiest "glitch in the matrix" or unexplainable thing that's ever happened to you?

My cousin used to work on the tv show “UFO Hunters and was the physicist who would test out theories vs science. After 2 years of him traveling around the world he came back home and was over for dinner, since we hadn’t seen him in forever. I knew his stance on UFOs and he didn’t believe (which was funny)—and of course I asked him again. “So has your mind changed about UFO’s?” He responded with a subtle yes backed with evidence that he’s not had an actual encounter but the fact hes met with many witnesses and found evidence that yes there is ET life on Earth. At the time we lived in house over looking a lake—as we chatted a while longer before he left. As I walked him out a strange flash over the lake appeared like a it was helicopter but it was for maybe 3-4 seconds and disappeared. A few of us saw it but the freaky part was our tv flashed to white noise and the numbers 8-0-8-0-8-0-8-0-8-0 appeared on the screen and moved across the tv screen endlessly and we had to unplug the tv. As my Dad and bro in law realized hey that’s funny. My bro in law is named Edo and has always acknowledged to people he pronounces his name 8-0 (eight-oh)...he was shocked—but even more my cousin had just finished telling me he thinks he has been followed for the last few days since he got home. He was paranoid and this occurrence justified something was going on. If you’ve seen the TV show “UFO Hunters his name is Jeffrey and since then he’s been off his rocker. Four years passed and we were out on camping trip in the North cascades and the same type of flash appeared near the top of mountain in the distance as we sat drinking beer after hiking all day. It’s now been a few years and we both moved and every so often we laugh and make jokes about it. If anything we were lucky and for some reason even being huge fans of sci-fi we were not scared...instead there was a feeling of calm and curiosity. Like hey I’d like to meet you feeling. Not sure if thats good or not—we also were born six months apart so we never forget our birthdays and we’ve always been close.
