You and I wouldn't know if their experience was real or not. We might believe it or not. If a thousand people told me, I would be more likely to believe it than if there was just one. We're not discussing some obscure thing, but something the majority of people have believed throughout history. That includes today in the scientific age. Reputable scientists believe it. It's not the same as seeing pink elephants.
IF a thousand people told you. Did these thousand people come to you and tell you straight out they had the same bizarre experience? Odds are high they didn't.
Furthermore, even if there was a common bizarre experience, it does not mean that the Christian God, or any God for that matter, was behind it. There may be a very sound naturalistic explanation for the experience as well.
So when you say "God revealed himself to you", you don't really mean that God physically appeared to you and was made susceptible to your senses, rather what you mean is "I had a bizarre experience I cannot explain, it must be Jesus".
It wasn't a bizarre experience and I don't think it was Jesus.
