Some monster, it reminded me of Bigfoot.

We woke up the next day. Everything was where it was in the campgrounds. Nothing was blown away or out of the ordinary. Our cars were still there. I even noticed that the trash bag that we'd hung up had been completely untouched by any sort of wildlife when the previous night we had tied up the trash can and the raccoons had torn it to shreds.

So it wasn't like we had done a spectacular job of tidying up, but just whatever. Yeah, nothing was disturbed at our campgrounds. It was almost like there wasn't even any wildlife around us in the first place. I was anticipating some sort of ear ringing.

I was fortunate enough to have a childhood where my parents really valued music and live music, so they took me to concerts all the time when I was a kid. And the next day after a show, my ears would always be ringing. We didn't wear earplugs at the time, so ears would always be ringing. This, no ringing in the ears whatsoever. It was almost like it never had happened.

My hearing was perfectly fine. It should have been affected and impacted. I've noticed tinnitus from way quieter things. And yeah, this did not cause any sort of damage to my ears. We just silently packed up just all the gear and whatnot and then we went home. We never really talked about it.

Until like a few years later when we were all like hanging out at like a party or something like that and then we were sharing stories and whatnot and then... One of the guys brought it up and said, guys, remember we saw that UFO on the camping trip in Ojai? And I just remember a kind of a hush falling over the friend group, which was uncharacteristic because myself and my friends are pretty loud.

And, you know, when we're telling stories together, we're pretty boisterous and laughing and whatnot and like yelling over each other. So I just remember everybody just kind of exchanging glances as if to say, Like, oh, shoot, like, you guys remember that too. It wasn't just me, you know?

It was a really sobering moment because I think all of us realized that what we had actually witnessed was actually reality. It was unexplainable, but it was certainly something that we had witnessed and we could no longer, you know, write it off as just a dream or something else that would be more easily explained. We never really got into the specifics of it.
