Interesting timing on this post. I'm mostly over on the BEK side of things but I do follow abduction threads when they come up and the Route 9 thing caught my eye because two other people mentioned that stretch of road in a Reddit thread about a month back. Different incidents, different nights.
Lost time while driving is one of the harder cases to dismiss tbh because you're not in a hypnagogic state, you're actively operating a vehicle. The brain doesn't just blank out for no reason unless something medical is going on.
Can you give more details about what the last thing you remember was before the gap? And did you feel any physical symptoms after - headache, nausea, unusual thirst? Those keep coming up across multiple accounts and at this point I'd say thats worth taking seriously as a data point even if you're not sure what caused it.
