Back in the early 90s, when I was 3 or 4 years old, I had a UAP encounter I completely forgot about until the Tic-Tac videos started blowing up. We were driving at night in my grandma’s old Subaru Brat (I was riding in the little bed/camper area in the back). I looked up through the rear window and there it was: a perfect pill/capsule-shaped object just hovering in the sky, maybe 25-40 ft up, right above a set of traffic lights. One half was pitch black, the other half glowing bright white, split right down the middle. No wings, no sound, no lights flashing, just silently floating there like it owned the sky. We kept driving away from it, and because I was a little kid I just assumed it was normal or that I imagined it. I Never told my grandma, never told anyone. Locked the memory away until I saw the Tic-Tac videos. That’s almost what I saw as a kid, same shape, but with a bizarre black-and-white split. Suddenly the childhood memory I’d dismissed my whole life felt very real. I was wondering if anyone else has see this or has and info on the black and white split part.
p.s. i had AI help me make the photo. the google maps is not the same spot but the hilly cut in the road matches, i feel like it was around lodi CA but somewhere in cali or nevada

This is important and This sighting matters because it’s an independent, decades-old childhood account that almost matches the famous 2004 Nimitz “Tic-Tac” UAP encountered by U.S. Navy pilots: identical capsule shape, silent hovering, and no visible propulsion. I dismissed it as imagination for 30 years until the Pentagon’s own videos resurfaced the memory. It’s a pre-internet, pre-disclosure corroboration from a civilian with zero prior interest in UFOs, in a rural area with no military bases nearby. That kind of unsolicited, long-buried match from a 3–4-year-old’s clear recollection is extremely rare and strengthens the case that these objects have been consistently appearing for decades—long before the topic went mainstream.
What are the traffic lights for?
Not trying to be rude; not saying you’re lying. I wanna believe that this is a “clear recollection” of something you actually saw when you were 3 or 4 years old, but at that age, it’s just as likely that it was something you imagined or dreamed about.
