What is the most fantastic thing you've ever seen to date?

Question

And please don't say seeing my Son/Daughter born - that's not fantastic it's just normal everyday stuff - no I mean really jaw-drapping stuff, that shakes your pre-conceived philosphies on life and makes you sit down and have to have a re-think - anyone who can supply videoclips to illustrate what they're talking about, is more likely to get the 10 points ok?

Answer 1

How much money will you make from them?

Answer 2

Aliens or demons on tv. Maybe both. Serious. Whilst watching with someone else who saw the very same thing. Not a horror movie. The tv broadcast had been taken over or something. Not a very nice experience. Happened a number of times. It's like a different dimension. Maybe h**l.

Answer 3

i might disappoint with this, but its all i have, i have seen what i can only think to 'other dimensions' here on this planet during this life.  i am not a poet, or philosopher, so it is hard for me to describe, but i saw it.

Answer 4

Honestly, the most amazing and awe-inspiring thing I've witnessed is the night sky.  I'm not talking about looking up while you're in the city.  I mean when I was in northern Minnesota or rural North Dakota and there wasn't any light pollution for miles.  You can see the thousands of stars, satellites, planets...it really makes you appreciate the vastness of the universe.

Answer 5

Machu Picchu in Peru.

Answer 6

I was jet skiing one day in Hilton Head and 4 dolphins started following me about 5 feet away on both sides. They were there for a good 10 minutes.

Answer 7

Whoa, you kidding?  Have you had a baby?  

OMG.  Talk about a jaw dropper.  All the questions about life and miracles and God and art and science and OMG.  It *is* everyday stuff, which makes it all the more fantastic, incredible, unbelievable, breathtaking.  OMG.  See?  Speechless.

Other than the birth of a child, I guess it would have to be the Grand Canyon.  =D

Answer 8

Wow! You obviously are not a parent and if you are my sympathy to your children. Seeing the gift of life isn't jaw dropping? No becoming a parent certainly would not make you sit down and rethink your life or anything.

In the spirit of full disclosure I'm not a parent because even thinking about having a child causes me to evaluate my life.

Since I don't hold to dogma my philosophies in life are in a regular state of flux, refinement, and development (rethinks) and no major event is required to kick me into  questioning mode.

I have seen two ghosts, had a precognitive dream, and heard unexplained footsteps, all of which caused me to look for answers not question my philosophy in life.

The most fantastic: Meeting my half sister for the first time.

Answer 9

sorry, not worth the 10 points.

Answer 10

a ghost and when I wa travleg down in Texas and Mexico the Stars you can really admire their beuty down there they shine real bright in the dark sky when me here in Illinois don't get to see them

Answer 11

The Urban Challenge.

Seeing cars and trucks driving 60 miles around courses set in an old deserted air force base in Calif without any drivers.

They had to obey all rules of the road, park in a parking lot, pass slower vehicles and all without human input.  Only sensors and computers and gps for guidance.

It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up when I watched them take off one at a time and stop at intersections and wait for other cars to pass then leave and drive around the town all by themselves.

Answer 12

Guess I would say Elvis in person...but he's not a "thing". So I'd have to say skyscrapers and almost all architecture. I used to look and them and say "oh". Now I look at them and say "WOW". All my life I never really thought about all that goes into buildings and bridges...the people who design them and all the people who construct them...even risking their lives. I used to consider them "normal everyday stuff"...but I don't anymore. I don't know why..or what made me become so "aware" of this. I also get amazed at what people did over a 100 years ago and before that...without  machines etc. to help them. They were SO CREATIVE. ..and came up with so many inventions (of course mostly out of necessity). I have a new appreciation for all these things. It really baffles me why I've come to think more highly of these things in the past few years...maybe 10 years.

Answer 13

Sorry, but my son's birth WAS the most fantastic thing I've seen.  Sure, it's normal in the everyday sense, but the normal is fantastic enough for me. I don't need to believe in the paranormal to find wonder in this world. But that's just me.

Answer 14

Lot's of things, including similar ones to above (don't have any children though), I actively seek such things. Anyway, what you descibe isn't down to the event itself, it's how you aproach it. If you think about most things they are fantastic, it's just that some things are more obviously so. If it wasn't for these things life would surely suck.

If you're not finding these things everywhere you're not trying hard enough, and  I'm glad i'm not waiting around to see my grandmothers ghost to experience what you describe.

Answer 15

I don't understand why birth is so amazing... It's pretty gross actually....... of course people always forget to mention all of that stuff.. I think people feel its amazing because they don't really understand it. I think dying is just as amazing as birth, I don't see it as negative or sad, I mean it's just as natural as birth, and it's innevitable..

Anyway, the Most fantastic thing I've ever seen was a ghost that was in my house for several weeks.. I looked like a dark cloud with arms, legs, and a head, and it walked back and forth from the kitchen to the bedroom.. The first experience of it i remember very well.. It was like a movie, where you suddenly see it but you don't move and your eyes follow it from right to left until it disappears. Pretty fantastic I thought.

Answer 16

At the risk of being labeled a kook, no video just eye witness account.
