I don't know if "alien" is the proper word, but I have a story involving an entity (or multiple). If I can, I'll keep it brief.
A friend and I were sitting outside late at night under a pine tree, mid-march, 2009. I was introducing him to salvia, which I had experimented with many times but sworn off. He wanted to try it, so I offered what was left of my stash, and became his sitter. I was not in any way intoxicated.
Anyway, long story short, as he was ripping huge lungfuls of salvia (and failing to get even the faintest effects), I nearly fell backward out of my chair as a black "blob" or "orb" hurtled past my head. He hadn't seen anything, but was skeptical, so we got up to investigate. As I tried to get an idea of where the object went, or at what height it was traveling, I saw a black blob move two feet up the tree and vanish, accompanied by a sound like claws on tree-bark.
At this point I started hyperventilating and my friend walked with me into the open soccer field. While out there, both of us heard loud crashing in the woods about a hundred feet from us. It sounded distant but seemed to be getting closer. It sounded like something very large.
Then I suddenly got this weird determination to find out what was making the sound, perhaps worried I was losing my mind. This was the first point that my friend seemed frightened, and suggested we go inside.
We made it about fifty feet. As I said the crashing seemed to be a fair distance into the woods, but, suddenly, there was a *loud* crash right at the border of the soccer field. The next couple seconds are confusing to try and remember. I remember my friend turning and half-screaming, "It's right there!" However, I didn't turn to run immediately. I stood and saw a tall white humanoid with no features. I've never been so scared in my life. All my muscles turned to jelly and I couldn't run or speak, I just stood there mouthing a silent scream.
My friend stopped and grabbed me by the arm and half-dragged me back into his house. I was literally sobbing and making inhuman noises by that point.
As soon as we got inside, we both curled up into the fetal position and said nothing. After maybe five or ten minutes, I asked him what he saw, and he answered, "Something white."
It took about four days before my nervous system calmed down enough to feel safe in my own skin. The first couple nights were some of the most terror-filled I've ever known. And I didn't venture outside alone at night for a long time after that.
...
That's my story. It's not the only bizarre thing that's happened in relation to salvia (or psychedelic use in general), but it's definitely the most dramatic. As if the experience itself wasn't wild enough!
