Didn't see this thread until just now but yes, Route 9 has been on my radar for a while actually. There was a cluster of similar reports from that same stretch back in 2019, two separate drivers reported missing time of roughly 40 minutes each, neither knew about the other until someone made the connection on here.
What timestamp did you notice the gap? And were you coming from the direction of the reservoir or heading toward it? That detail kept coming up in the 2019 cases and I've always thought it mattered.
Also - any unusual fatigue in the days after, or that metallic taste people sometimes mention? Not trying to lead you anywhere, genuinely curious what you experienced before we start drawing conclusions. Too many threads like this go sideways when people jump straight to abduction without ruling out simpler explanations first, even if this community does lean toward the more extraordinary end of things.
Anyone else in the Lancashire area or further afield who's driven that route recently, worth chiming in even if nothing happened to you. Negative reports are useful data too.
