In August 1954, thousands of believers gathered at Giant Rock in Southern California for a massive spacecraft convention, completely primed by "contactee" speakers describing what aliens from Venus supposedly looked like. The event took a bizarre turn when a strikingly beautiful woman and her two companions walked into the crowd, sporting the exact unusual facial features and intense eyes the speakers had just detailed. Panic and fascination erupted as attendees became convinced they were looking at actual Venusians walking among them—a chaotic mystery that only deepened when the trio reportedly fled into the desert night.

What if your childhood memories weren’t dreams at all?

Across Reddit, forums, and social media, thousands of people have started sharing the same bizarre memory: as children, they could float. Some describe hovering above their beds. Others remember “flying” down staircases, gliding through hallways, or drifting effortlessly through the air before suddenly losing the ability as they got older. Were these lucid dreams? False memories? Sleep paralysis? Or is something stranger hiding beneath a shared experience that people around the world remember in almost identical detail?

Tonight on Strange Places, we dive into the unsettling phenomenon of childhood floating memories, the psychology behind them, the eerie similarities between stories, and why the internet has suddenly become flooded with people asking the same question:

“Did anyone else used to be able to fly when they were little?”
