I've never experienced any strange energies - but I'm not the type that's sensitive to "energies".
My missus reckons she can feel "energies" or spirits in various
places.
I've spent many years in the bush - often on my own for long periods - but I've rarely seen anything that doesn't have an explanation - apart from 2 experiences.
One was a huge green fluorescent light that appeared in a patch of trees at 10:00PM on night, in farmland in the SE wheatbelt of W.A. in the late 1970's.
The brother and his wife were a couple of kms behind me in another car and saw it, too.
This patch of trees was a small
nature reserve, probably about 100 Ha, that was heavily timbered with big Salmon Gums.
The reserve was alongside a road that ran off to the left of the one we were on.
The light suddenly appeared as we drove along the road, and it would have been about a km to my left at about 45 degrees.
It just suddenly light up half the reserve with a massive, amazingly brilliant, fluoro-green glow.
I'd estimate the light source was at least the size of two houses.
No sooner had the light appeared, than it shot directly straight up into the sky at an astonishing speed - faster than any rocket.
It just vanished to a pinpoint within about 5 or 6 seconds. The whole episode probably totalled 10 seconds.
To say I was totally mystified is an understatement. Neither of us stopped until we got
home some 10 mins later.
I asked the brother and SIL if they saw the light, and they said "Yes!".
We just shrugged it off, with no further discussion. It didn't fit anything we recognised, nor was it anything we could explain in terms of our knowledge or experience.
The general area was noted for UFO sightings in the '60's and '70's, with dozens of reports.
We always reckoned the U.S. military or aerospace people have secret developments that are in the realm of sci-fi - and they always like to
test them in "remote" areas.
The second unexplained event was when I was driving North from
Perth to
Cue in my 80 series Landcruiser about 1992.
It was late at night, probably close to midnight, and I was
well North of
Wubin on the Gt Northern Hwy. Traffic was very light at that time of night.
I suddenly saw a set of very dull headlights appear coming towards me about 5kms away. They looked like old 6V VW Beetle headlights.
I was a little surprised, because every vehicle I'd passed had
bright headlights and spotlights - the roos were about, in that country.
The headlights crawled towards me (I was hooking along) and they slowly got closer.
I watched them closely, curious as to why anyone would be travelling late at night in 'roo country with such poor headlights.
The headlights got to about a km from me, when suddenly, they turned left off the hwy (to my right) and vanished.
I looked for the headlight trail that would indicate they were travelling away from the hwy on a side road - but there was nothing but inky blackness.
I flicked the lights and spotlights onto high beam to see if I could see the road or track they took. There was nothing but unbroken bush. No tracks, no side roads, not even a truck bay. I slowed to 30 kmh, and looked and looked - but nothing.
I stopped and turned around and went back - thinking that perhaps they'd crashed off the road and rolled into the bush. Still nothing. I stopped and turned the 'Cruiser off. It was dead silent, typical of the outback. There was nothing for kms and kms.
I cranked the Cruiser up and turned around, heading back North again to
Cue, and turned the event over and over in my mind.
I definitely saw headlights, I could see the road lit up in front of them. What was it? God only knows. The Phantom 309?? LOL
Cheers, Ron.

This is what I love about the outback.
