Thanks NENtriple8 and unclesyd- they looked human and possessed skin color that i'd never had the pleasure of seeing before, their faces were perfectly familiar to this day and age.  It was like an interview, in that I had an audience with a kind of Cosmic Council, and I could only see them with my eyes open.

They were projecting live "webcam" images of themselves, so it really felt like an advanced inter-galactic skype session. I could also hear audio as if it was projected directly into my mind and they only spoke to me in English. Not much was said, which is too bad because the "line" was crystal clear (no idea whether they were of another planet/dimension or just from another time). I felt an intense psychic connection to them, my attitude at the time started as a childish competitive "who's mind is stronger?" and then gave way to a silenced staring contest, as I quietly hoped they would deem me worthy of lasting friendship...
