Never been to Montana myself, but the I-90 corridor keeps cropping up in reports I've been tracking - there's a genuine cluster of accounts from that stretch between Missoula and Billings going back to the late 90s.
What's catching my attention is how consistent the time loss element is across unrelated witnesses. We're not talking five minutes here. The accounts I've seen logged range from 45 minutes to nearly three hours, usually accompanied by that classic disorientation and the sudden awareness that something's off before the person can even articulate what happened.
A few questions worth putting to anyone who experienced this:
Roughly what time of day did it occur?, Any unusual vehicle behaviour - dashboard electronics, headlights cutting out?, Did you notice any physical symptoms afterwards? Fatigue, nausea, that strange metallic taste that keeps appearing in abduction accounts?
I run a Sky-Watcher setup here in Nottinghamshire and cross-reference MUFON submissions regularly, and I noticed an unusual uptick in unresolved Montana cases filed between June and August last year specifically. That's not nothing.
I'm not ready to stamp ". Abduction". On anything without considerably more data, but the geographical consistency alone warrants serious discussion. What exactly were the road conditions, weather, time of day?
Anyone with a direct experience - please do share, even the details that seem mundane or embarrassing. Those are often the most useful.
