An Encounter with UFO...This is based on a true story

Slightly after midnight of 31-Aug-1991, between 00:00-0030hrs (theoretically 1-Sep-91), 4 friends were travelling in a car, just returned from a late night supper, after a whole day of a Taekwondo competition in the Johor Bahru city. They were heading back home towards Pasir Gudang.

It was a quiet, calm night, 2 male friends were fast asleep, snoring in the back seat. The air-conditioning was not on, and the car windows had been wound down slightly.

Back then Pasir Gudang was not fully developed yet, it was mainly dense forest on both sides of the highway, there're no street lights, it was pitch dark, the only light came from the car’s front lights and headlights.

Towards the middle of the journey on the highway, all of a sudden, something flew passed in front of the car at a very high speed.

It was a very bright, silvery or white colour object. It was silent; it made no sound at all, there was no lights from the object or the thing or whatever it was.

The car was driven at around 80kph. The object flew right across and in front the path of the car, passing from the right (driver side) to the left (passenger side) before it disappeared into the darkness in the forest on the left side of the highway.

It happened very fast, perhaps less than 5 seconds.

It was impossible to make out the shape of the object, but it was huge because it covered the entire car windscreen at that moment when it flew across. As the headlight of the car almost blended into the color of the object, it was impossible to make out the distance between the object and the car.

Very focus in driving, the driver just continued driving. There was no reaction during or right after that encounter as the driver thought she was dreaming, or could it have been the Taekwondo training that one should remain calm when provoked... whatever. It was fortunate in a way, if the driver had reacted at that moment when the object flew across, she could have lost control of the vehicle.

Many seconds later, the friend seated in front seat asked, “hey, what was that?!”

The driver did not answer, because she did not know. She had to continue driving, and there was no way they were going to stop to check... no way.

The friend then cried out, “Hantu!!!” (means ghost in Malay/Bahasa Malaysia). Back then, perhaps that was the only thing most of us grew up knowing, anything strange and white must be ghost. At the same time he manually wounded up his side of the car window as fast as he could. Because of that remark, the driver started to tremble with fear, goose bumps and whatnot, and wounded up her side of the window too, because she grew up listening & reading all the ghost stories.

The other 2 friends were still snoring in the back seat.

The driver was trembling & shaking, both hands holding onto the steering wheel trying to remain calm, occasionally peering into the back view mirror, in case the object was behind...the fear factor was overwhelming all the way back.... but all of them got back safely, thankfully.

Thereafter, both the witnesses did not talk or discuss about the encounter.

Many years later when both of them met, the driver asked the friend what was that object, he jokingly said it was a plastic bag... Ya right, if plastic bag can fly that way, Tony wouldn’t be laughing all the way to the bank today. And everybody can fly, without Tony and AirAsia.

Perhaps it was an encounter of the first kind, with an UFO. Perhaps the object or alien and whatnot visited and celebrated with Malaysia on National Day, back in 1991.

This was not based on hearsay, as the driver was me.
