The Home of Inner Peace

The day I lost about 7 hours of time.

We were traveling south on the Bruce Highway in Queenlsand, Australia.

It was mid December, 1996.  We knew of an overnight rest area just off the highway level with the coastal town of Caloundra.  The Bruce Highway is roughly 20 kilometres inland from Caloundra, and this spot is roughly 80 kilometres north of Brisbane. 

( 10 miles = 16 kilometres )

We arrived late afternoon and parked ready to leave again early next morning.  We slept normally and got up the next morning.  We then went about our normal routine when we were starting for the day to do another days travel.

We picked up the generator and put it outside the caravan.  We took out the outdoor table and chairs and set them up outside the caravan.

We had breakfast which was just cerial and coffee.

We cleaned up from breakfast. We put the outdoor tables and chairs inside the caravan. We then put the generator back inside the caravan.

We locked up, got in the car and headed South for Brisbane.

That is all we did.

It was on the road that I noticed how low the sun was, and that it wasn’t where it should have been.  I checked the time on my watch. It said 5:00.  I put on the radio, and sure enough, the time given was also 5:00 o’clock.

Trouble was, it was 5:00 pm not 5:00 am. 

We had done these overnight stays many times. Even allowing for sleeping in and taking an hour to have our bowls of cereal and pack up, that still leaves almost half a day that we could not account for. 

Our four teenage boys were not even hungry for lunch, let alone dinner. They were still full from breakfast.  As near as we could work out, we had lost approximately 7 hours in broad daylight.  We ended up having “lunch” in Brisbane at around 10:00 PM that night.

That was in 1996. I still cannot come up with any answers.  It would certainly be one of the most unusual experiences I have ever had.  I can still remember the feeling I had when I realized how much time was missing from our day.

Why I associate this experience with UFO’s is a mystery to me. For some odd reason that association is in my mind, but I cannot tell you why.  It’s just one of the mysteries I have experienced through traveling.

If mystery intrigues you, perhaps you should try traveling.
