So this is going to sound bonkers but I'm genuinely unsettled. On the winter solstice (21st December, last year) I was driving home from work around 5pm near Guildford. Clear night, not much traffic. Next thing I'm aware of, I'm pulling onto my drive and it's 5:47pm according to my dashboard, watch, AND mobile.

But I definitely should've arrived home by 5:15 at the latest. The journey is 12 minutes down the A3. I've done it thousands of times. I have literally no memory of the missing 20-odd minutes, and there was no traffic, no accident, nothing.

My wife says I'm being dramatic but she was worried when I got home - said I looked "wrong," very pale and confused. I checked my phone location history and it shows me arriving at home at exactly 5:47, which matches the time loss.

Before anyone says "you just weren't paying attention," I'm usually hyperfocused while driving and I'm certain something happened. Has anyone else had unexplained time disappear, especially around significant dates?

Missing time on the solstice is CLASSIC glitch material. The solstices are when the veil is thinnest (not just new age bollocks - there's actually electromagnetic anomalies documented). Could be a simulation error, could be something else entirely. Did you feel anything physical? Tingling, warmth, weird sensations?

You dozed off mate. Happens to everyone on long drives. Your watch might've been set wrong. This isn't a glitch, this is just driving tired in winter darkness.

That's actually the creepiest part. Location history pings don't lie - it's GPS based. If the journey time genuinely jumped 20 minutes on the data, something very odd happened. Have you checked if there are any street cameras that might've captured you?

Might sound mad but could be an abduction experience that your brain has suppressed. Check your body for any marks or odd sensations. The Rendlesham Forest incident involved missing time - that's a documented case. Not saying it IS aliens, but the pattern matches.

I had something similar but opposite - gained 40 minutes on my commute in March. Drove for what felt like 15 minutes, arrived and it had been 55 minutes. Never figured it out. Now I'm genuinely wondering if we're all living in some kind of timeline nonsense.
