I'm going to try to describe this as clearly as I can, though honestly it's taken me three weeks to feel comfortable posting it publicly.

Was driving home from a mates' house party. Had only had one pint so I wasn't impaired. Route took me across the minor road that runs through the moor approach. About halfway across, saw lights ahead - initially thought it was another car. But the light was wrong. Too bright, too uniform, and it wasn't moving like vehicle lights.

Next thing I remember clearly is being about 2 miles further down the road with no memory of the drive in between. My watch had stopped. My phone had no battery despite being at 87% when I left the party. And there's a perfect circular mark on my right wrist - about 2cm diameter, pale red, completely painless.

I've no recollection of what happened in those ~90 minutes. Not even fragments. Just... nothing. And I can't explain the mark.

Has anyone experienced something similar? The lost time is what's really bothering me.

This is textbook abduction scenario. Lost time + electronic failure + physical mark is the holy trinity of close encounter signs. You need to document that mark - take daily photos, measure it, note any changes. Also see a doctor, rule out anything medical, but be prepared that they won't find anything.

The Bodmin area has a lot of activity. That's not random. You might want to drive that route again in daylight and see if you notice anything unusual - landing sites, radiation marks, animal behaviour changes.

Medical possibilities: temporal lobe seizure can cause lost time and leave no other symptoms. The mark could be stress-induced or you caught yourself on something without remembering (dissociation during a seizure would explain that). See your GP, mention the lost time specifically, ask for an EEG. Worth ruling out the mundane before jumping to aliens.

My watch had stopped. My phone had no battery despite being at 87% when I left the party.

Both electronics failing is the key detail here. That's electromagnetic interference, which you DO get around UFO activity. Your watch stopping but the phone fully draining is odd though - one's mechanical, one's electrical, yet they both failed? That suggests something powerful disrupted the area.

You might want to get that wrist mark checked by someone who specialises in this - there are researchers who document abduction marks. They can sometimes tell you more than a regular doctor.

Bodmin's notorious. There was a wave of sightings there in the '70s and again in the early 2000s. Local papers won't touch it anymore but the stories are out there. You're not alone in this. The lost time is the scariest bit - that's where the real experience happened, whatever it was. You might want to try regression hypnotherapy to access those memories, though fair warning: sometimes people regret doing that.

Have you had any weird dreams since? Or any unusual physical effects - hearing changes, vision stuff, odd sensations? Often abductees report secondary effects in the weeks after. Not trying to freak you out but it's worth monitoring yourself.
