  I hit it with Google Lens.

  dad’s friend, li call him Bob, is dring a ng out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere oregon

  has to make the delivery by the following morning so he decides to just drive through the night

  it’s like ane in the morning, no one else is out on the roads

  Phaant seen another car in probably a hundred miles

  he is literally in the middle of nowhere

  suddenly the whole entire sky lights up

  matantly like daylight

  Bob fuckin slams on the breaks, has no idea what the hell is going on

  everything stays lit up for a good solid ten seconds, he can see everything

  whatever’s happening, it’s not lightning, it doesn’t stop or flicker at all

  Bob hunkers down, anticipating imminent nuclear devastation

  suddenly sky goes dark again

  no sound, no blast waw

  he sits there in the middle of the road waiting for almost five minutes, then decides to keep going

  figures it was a meteor or something

  goes about two miles up the road and sees a car with its flashers on stopped in the middle of the road

  stops a good distance away from t

  there’s not enough room to go around it

  front end of the car is crumpled the it hit something

  Bob figures they probably hit a deer that got spooked whenever the meteor went over and ran into the road

  the gets out of the cab and goes to see if the driver is okay

  diver is sitting on the ground by the diver side door

  has his knees up and is testing his head on his ams

  Hey buddy you okay? Bob calis

  he stops about ten feet away for seemingly no reason

  something about the whole siiation feels weed

  Bob is one of those guys that always listens to his gut so he stays put

  God my head is killing me." The guy says, but he doesnt lift his head up so it’s muffled

  Did you hit a deer? Bob asks

  she’s getting more and more uneasy

  somethings wrong

  but he still can’t figure out what exactly it is

  the guy says he think he might have hurt his head, asks Bob to please help him

  Blob takes a step forward but his natincts are going apeshit

  he looks at everything again

  that’s when he notices it

  the fucking car is all wrong

  it looks like what someone thinks a car looks like

  it has all the right pieces but there’s nothing extra, if that makes sense

  Blob says it looked like a cheap hot wheels knock-off, it just looked wonky and wrong

  he looks around at the back of the car and realizes that not only is there no license plate, there’s not even a trunk

  it’s just one solid piece of material with taillights put in it

  there’s no manufacturer or model names

  Bob knows cars, and this thing is nothing he’s ever seen before.

  from where he’s standing, he can see there’s no tailpipe or even hubcaps

  t’s just the shape of a car

  he starts to back up and the guy asks him for help again

  Bob tells him he can’t help him and that he’ll call a tow truck when he gets to the next town

  the guy ifta his head and looks at Bob

  tells him he thinks he might have a concussion

  something is really really wrong with the guys face but again it takes a second for Bob to figure it out

  The next part is exactly how Bob described it

  everything on the mans face was where it should have been, in their normal positions

  The looked totally normal

  except for the fact that his eyes and mouth wers on upside down

  Bob goes apeshit and sprints back to his nig

  climbs in, locks the door just in time for the man to slam into the door behind him

  how the fuck did he get there so fast

  he knocks on the glass and smiles at Bob but because his mouth is upside down it looks like he’s screaming

  telis Bob to open the door so he can come in

  Bob fucking floors it

  doesn’t care if the hits the guy or not

  Phis trick easily pushes the “car” out of the way

  whatever it is, it’s light and it makes no sound when he hits it

  Unfortunately it’s an anticlimactic ending.

  Bob got where he was going fine, with no other problems. My dad knows the story, but I don’t think he believes it.

  But Bob tells it to everyone he meets, so he obviously does

  He’s absolutely adamant about the guy being an alien

  Years later I heard about the Thatcher Effect and nearly had a fucking heart attack when I saw it

  I showed one of the pictures to Bob and he wouldn’t even look at it

  He says it’s exactly what the guy looked like.
