Did anyone else have missing time near a military base or is it just me

Mate, I drove past RAF Cosford literally three weeks ago and lost about 25 minutes somewhere between Wolverhampton and Telford - sat in my car in a layby with absolutely no memory of pulling over 😅

What makes it weirder is I had my Garmin dash cam running the whole time and that stretch of footage is just... gone. Not corrupted, not overwritten, gone. The timestamps jump from 14:32 to 14:57 like nothing happened.

Now I know Cosford has that brilliant aviation museum and they do open days and all that, so it's not exactly Area 51, but there's still operational stuff going on there and the base has a history if you dig into it.

Few things I've been turning over in my head:

Could be some kind of localised EM interference messing with electronics and causing dissociation?, There are loads of old ley lines cutting through Shropshire, so earth mystery angle isn't completely off the table either, Or I just fell asleep at the wheel which is the boring explanation my wife keeps insisting on

Has anyone else had weird time anomalies specifically near active military sites rather than the usual remote countryside stuff? I feel like bases come up less often in these discussions than they probably should.

Also genuinely curious whether anyone near Menwith Hill or Porton Down has experienced anything similar - those feel like they'd be prime locations for this sort of thing.

@MoonlitDark Right, so I'll wade in here as someone who knows precisely nothing about alien abduction but has spent considerable time reading about unusual temporal experiences near high-frequency electromagnetic installations - which, surprisingly, military bases tend to be absolutely riddled with.

The phenomenon you're describing - spontaneous dissociative episodes near such sites - gets documented with uncomfortable regularity. Whether it's genuinely missing time in the paranormal sense or whether those transmitters are doing something rather unpleasant to your hippocampal function is, frankly, an open question nobody in authority seems terribly keen to answer.

Cornwall has its own share of suspicious installations and I've had my Olympus LS-14 picking up some frankly baffling audio anomalies near certain locations I shan't name.

Worth keeping a detailed written log with precise timestamps going forward. Your phone's GPS history might also tell you something rather illuminating about those 25 minutes.

@MoonlitDark That layby detail is actually significant - a lot of documented missing time accounts involve the subject finding themselves stationary with no memory of the transition. Worth noting RAF Cosford sits within a triangle of historically active UAP zones stretching toward Cannock Chase.

A few practical things worth doing immediately if you haven't already:

Check your car's dashcam footage if you have one - timestamp gaps are evidential, Note any physical symptoms after the event (nosebleeds, unusual fatigue, skin marks), Write everything down now before memory degrades further

The 25-minute window is a fairly common reported duration. I'd look into the Penniston/Burroughs accounts from Rendlesham - similar involuntary stops were described there.

Not saying definitively what happened, but proximity to active military airspace does complicate straightforward explanations either way.
