When I was a little kid, around age 7 or so, my neighbor and I saw this luminous pink being walking down the street towards us. I remember this like it was yesterday, like 30 years ago.

So I'm thinking that we saw some kind of alien or something weird like that. Well, Tonight I'm watching the Land Of The Lost DVD set, and there's an episode with a character called "The Builder". Now, I about fell out of my F-ing chair when this character was a luminous pinkish red being.

I'm beginning to think that some of the weird circumstances and memories I had, may in fact not be so weird, or unusual after all. When I saw this episode tonight, my heart raced, my eyes welled up, and I about had a meltdown because I'm wondering if all this time I simply remembered it as something that it wasn't?

The thing about this whole Alien contact thing is that you have no idea what your memories really are. I'm having to re-assess some of my own memories based on this newfound bit of info. I need to talk to my old neighbor and see what she thinks of this, because I intend to send her the DVD with the episode on it in question.

Talk about programming... Seriously, this was a major, MAJOR eye opener.
 
So are you thinking that maybe you got the idea from the Land of the Lost and you didn't actually see what you thought you saw?

By the way, now that you mention it..I think I might remember that episode. I watched that series when it originally aired on Saturday mornings back in the 70s. This sounds really familiar. I always loved the mystery of the show...remember those glimmering diamond things in the air? I always liked the Sleestaks and the weird alien crystal controls, never too interested in the dinosaur aspect of the show.
 
Land of the Lost was my favorite show when I was a child. Several years ago I caught some re runs and watched them as an adult even. I don't recall a pink being, but would love to see what Tommy is talking about.

Seriously, this was so f-ing strange to watch this episode last night.

The thing that I remember seeing as a kid, looked just like the luminous pink thing in the picture. The only and I mean only weird part, is that my neighbor saw it too.

So strange. This has given me a lot of stuff to think about.

So Rick's pic was the being? That's a sleestack. You not remember them til you watched it again?

How long did it take you, Rick, to find that pic?

so are you thinking that some of the weird things we see/hear/etc are dredged-up memories, or are you thinking that LOL writers were writing about real things?

No, I really don't think that is what he is talking about. It was a solid pink being I remember too.
 
To Ravenskye,

I'm of the mind that memory isn't infallible, and no matter how powerful that memory, it can be wrong.

I have had this memory of this event for 30 years, and can remember it like it was yesterday. The funny thing is, so does my neighbor.

It's one of those things we both cannot explain.

We both had been riding our bikes that day, and left them in the front yard. We both went into our respective houses for dinner, and oddly enough both of our sets of parents told us to go get our bikes out of the front.

We both went outside to get our bikes at the same time, both looked up the street to see this glowing, pinkish red person shaped silhouette walking towards us. We both freaked out, and went back into our respective houses. My mom and dad went outside to see what I was talking about, but the thing was gone.

I've seen nothing like it since. What was really peculiar is that this episode of Land Of The Lost, is that I remembered seeing it as a kid. Who knows what my then fertile imagination came up with as a kid?

It was the 70's. I could have just seen one of my neighbors dressed up in a weird costume, or ugly clothing. I have been wondering what the hell this thing was for all this time. I'm of the mind that it's most likely just a memory glitch.
 
That's really trippy...maybe it was life imitating art....I agree that memory isn't infallible...things that I remember as being HUGE as a kid, are not really at all huge, or weird. Maybe there was an element of truth in what was being written into LoL scripts...they were definitely into crystals before "New Age" came around! I don't remember the particular LoL entity that you're talking about. Did you ever find a pix of it?
 
Yes, It's already in the thread. I posted it already. It's the image that has the kid in it. The pink red creature is the thing I'm talking about.

2 minutes of googling - personally, I never saw the show. Don't think they ever showed it in the UK...
 
According to this wikipedia article:
List of Land of the Lost characters and species - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
That picture in this thread is of Enik...a member of some ancestral race of the Sleestak's. I am not sure I remember Enik.

The weird thing is that I DO have a memory of a pure glowing (pinkish I think) thing from this show. It's weird how memory is isn't it?

I know for sure that there was some episode where they entered a room (maybe in that lost city) and there were these shiny mannequins. My pink thing might have come from that same episode or setting. I seem to remember it would appear in the jungle, I think someone would catch a glimpse and then they would lose it. Maybe it guided them to the lost city?

Is nobody else old enough to remember this show? I am going to go count my wrinkles.
