Those "did I just see that" moments

Have any recently? When something so unreasonable happens you aren't sure you saw it properly?

Not so recently, but my wife and I heard sirens as we were pulling up to busy intersection, so although the light was green we slowed down to stop. We looked over to the on coming traffic lane and just entering the intersection headed toward us was a car going about 25 miles per hour - not fast at all - and a couple of police cars in pursuit with sirens blaring.
Then we looked closer at the car that was being pursued and noticed the inside was fully engulfed in flames and you could barely see the man driving it, who was looking down at the floorboard in panic. We kinda freaked out, took an immediate right turn at the corner, pulled over and tried to remove the image from our minds. That was around 1998. I still can't get it out of my mind.

I was about 10 years old...in stop-n-go traffic on the freeway. Some rice-rocket biker was lane sharing down the middle of a lane at about 60 mph. Not sure what happened...all I saw was the bike fly past our car and then he lost it and ran right in the back of a big rig box truck. This was before the requirement to have the low hanging "bumper" on the truck...half the guy stayed at the back, the other half of the guy ended up lodged under the back of the box truck. My dad was quick to push my head down and not let me look as we drive by, but I saw. It was crazy. We got to the shop (we were going to dads work) and he had to spray down his truck as there was hundreds of little red drops all over it.

About a year ago I was pulling up to a 4-way stop sign in a fairly busy parking lot and a baby stroller came rolling through the intersection. From the angle I was at I could see that the stroller was empty, but most other people could not. Probably about 10 to 15 people started running to the stoller from different directions to try and stop it, then a car drove up to it real fast and a guy jumped out of the passenger and stopped the stroller. I looked back to see where the stroller had come from and there was a lady loading her kids into a van, completely oblivious to the scene she had caused.

Driving down I-95 right after a thunderstorm. Guy in a red pickup merges into traffic, loses control, and proceeds to do a few 360s. Everyone saw him coming, calmly slowed down, and let the guy do his thing.
He finally got control, never touched a thing, and went back on his merry way.
I'm sure he had to change his undies after that.

I did that on the slopes the first time I went skiing.
