What have you witnessed or seen that would sound like a conspiracy theory if someone else told you? (feddit.de)

Could that be Exploding head syndrome?

Exploding head syndrome (EHS) is an abnormal sensory perception during sleep in which a person experiences auditory hallucinations that are loud and of short duration when falling asleep or waking up.[2][4] The noise may be frightening, typically occurs only occasionally, and is not a serious health concern.[2] People may also experience a flash of light.[5] Pain is typically absent.[2]

Wow. I have this. Sometimes on the cusp of sleep there's a loud, metallic buzzing sound that scares the crap out of me. No light though

I have had this one time when I was very little. Around 6 or 7 years old or so, but I remember it very clearly. For me, it was like a gunshot went off right next to my head only a couple minutes after I fell asleep. I remember jolting awake and asking my brother and mother what it was, but they had no idea what I was talking about. Maybe some people have different experiences, but mine couldn't be mistaken for a UFO sound.

I had this but to me I saw a bright flash of light and heard a universe tearing type of noise. I immediately jolted awake and went to my window because I thought something exploded outside. Every animal in my house was undisturbed and sleeping and my entire family heard nothing.

It's only happened once in my life, but I didn't have any visual flashes or anything of the sort, just the sound.
