This is one of those topics that is always strange to talk about because there are always people that are skeptical or try to debunk anyone’s opinions due to their own beliefs or what’s known in the science world. I’ve never had any ufo experiences but I did have an experience with a cryptid back in the mid 90s when I was 16 years old. I had just got my drivers license and was finally able to legally drive the 1979 Monte Carlo boat that sat in my parents garage for 2 years that I saved up to buy cutting grass and working at a diner washing dishes. I picked up two of my friends and went for a cruise around where I lived in a mountainous region in northern Pennsylvania. We found an old abandoned quarry and on the way to the quarry a strange large black cat walked in front of the car and just stopped in the middle of the road for a few seconds stared right at us and then walked across the road and into the woods. Ive seen all types of animals in those woods from foxes to bobcats but ive never seen anything like that cat that walked in front of my car that day. It had thick shaggy fur and was a little bit larger than an average sized German shepherd. It had a large head with wide ears that were slightly curved and rounded at the tips and the tail was as large and bushy and about 2 foot long. After we saw this thing we just shook our heads and kept driving to the quarry. I drove like an absolute idiot like any 16 year old would do then as I was driving away from the quarry I hit a patch of gravel and hit a telephone pole and totaled my car and ironically it was the first time I actually drove the thing without parental supervision. Over the years I’ve done research but anytime I’ve ever commented about it people usually dismiss it as some species of bobcat or claim I was high when I saw it but this was a year before I ever smoked or drank or anything and I know what I saw
