Never had missing time myself but I've been deep in the Bigfoot research community long enough to know that a lot of the really credible witnesses - the ones you can't easily dismiss - describe a crossover effect. They go out looking for Sasquatch near restricted land and come back with gaps they can't account for.
The military base proximity thing keeps showing up and I don't think thats coincidental. Whether its experimental craft, something genuinely non-human, or some combination of the two, the clustering of these reports near restricted airspace is statistically significant enough that it deserves serious treatment rather than the usual dismissal.
Anyone posting in this thread - can you be specific about the duration of the gap? And what was the first thing you actually remember after the lights? Those two details tend to separate the accounts worth analysing from the ones that are probably just disorientation or panic response. Not saying anyone here is making things up, just that the details matter if we're going to do this properly.
