[ARCHIVED THREAD] - You seen a UFO? (Page 2 of 4)
|
Quoted: Many years ago right at sunset I saw a straight line going VERY fast across the sky. I thought it was a MIRV. It was the space shuttle coming in to land.  I was working graveyard security in the early 90’s. The one shuttle that landed at Edwards did so at night. A couple of us saw the orange streak across the sky. Being 80’s kids, we thought this was it until someone said it was the shuttle |
| Twice I’ve seen things I just can’t explain. First I was descending into phoenix and saw a very large ‘W’ shaped something well below me and moving relatively slowly. It was mid morning. This was before cameras on phones. Next I was in my condo on the 28th floor of a building just a few years back. Saw three lights in a triangle in the fog at night climbing vertically. They climbed to an altitude somewhat higher than my building then stopped for a bit. Then climbed out of sight. I had no idea about the distance due to the fog. |
| I have. Middle school age. Walking home at night from my friends house. Multiple blue lights maybe 5 or 6. Flying around in the sky at what appeared to be random patterns. Zig zagging around. Then all of a sudden they all formed into a ring formation and stood perfectly still in space for just a moment, then accelerated almost instantaneously away holding said formation. I have no idea what they were. |
| I saw an object light up bright blue in an acorn shape, course through the sky a few inches(if you held a ruler up to the sky) then fade. Once it faded I could still see an object moving along the straight line trajectory for several more inches until it disappeared. No idea what it was. It definitely wasn't a typical shooting star. I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was the only time I have ever seen something like it. |
| Drove out to Colorado in ‘97 for a weekend with my brother and a life long buddy. Bout 50 miles NE of Peterson Air Force Base on Highway 24 we all saw a single white light hanging in the night sky that would move left and right, up and down. I have no idea how far away it was, but from my vantage point it appeared to move rapidly then stop and move in another direction. |

No, but actually yes. It was landed, so it wasn’t an unidentified flying object. It looked like an oversized, polished aluminum propane tank. From memory, I’d say it was ~50’ long and ~15’ in diameter. We were out riding four-wheelers, catching crawdads, and just generally not being in the house with my parents. We climb up the creek bank and there it was, maybe 50 yards away on the other side of small field. There were three or four of what looked like children in silver jumpsuits near it. Something else chased my friend and me away. We ran back to our four-wheeler and it chased us about half way back to my house, stopping just before we got to the first house after the creek. It not only kept up with us, it didn’t seem like it was taxing it at all to do so - probably got up to about 35 MPH on that dirt road getting the fuck out of there. The thing that chased us looked like a cross between Gumby and a grasshopper - long limbs, smooth joints, and probably ~6-7’ tall. I’ve not spoken to him about it in years, but the last time I did, my friend recounted the same story to me without any prompting other than “that time we saw a UFO”. For what it’s worth… to this day I don’t know WTF we saw, but I don’t think it was aliens. I’m not even convinced it was physical. It seems far more likely to me to have been some kind of shared hallucination. Hell, it strikes me as more likely that we humans have the ability to manifest things into reality than it does for apparently at least two species of aliens to cross the unimaginable gulf of space just to land in a cow pasture in rural Arkansas and scare the shit out of two kids. |

My cousin and I were bored as shit in the early 90s and just sitting on the tailgate on a dead end road listening to the radio drinking a couple beers wasting time about 10 PM or so. There was a low cloud deck and we could see the edge of the town. We saw what looked like a radio tower laid sideways descend from the clouds and move North. We couldn't see any structure but the lights were red and like non blinking radio tower lights. It hovered and moved slowly out of sight. It had to be enormous from what it looked like. Like you, I've asked him about it since and he has the same recollection. |

I was out at a night shoot with some of the guys a while back. I just happened to be glancing around at the stars and watching satellites pass overhead. Then I noticed that one of the "stars" was getting progressively more dim every time I looked at a certain spot in the sky. I only noticed because it was directly in the center of three very bright stars that formed a nice triangle. I pointed out the three stars to one of the guys and asked if he saw the single light right in the middle of the triangle. He located the exact one I was seeing, and over the course of several minutes we both watched it fade out of sight under our NODs. Almost as if it were moving directly away from earth. Only thing I can think of is that it was a geosynchronous satellite that finally got to the point where it was no longer reflecting the sun as the earth rotated. That or a See Eye Aye drone sent to spy on Arf goons. Saw some really awesome shooting stars that night too! |

Quoted: I saw something that I could not identify when I was a senior in high school. I was driving my 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger with my girlfriend in the front, and another couple in the back. We were traveling to the high school for a dance, and had just turned onto FM 1356 on the edge of town. Less than a quarter mile after making the turn, we saw a large black object flying over the road directly towards us. It was slightly wider than the 2 lane county road, and flying a little higher than telephone pole height. There were no lights, and it was probably traveling +/-200 miles per hour. The only reason I estimated that speed is that it was similar to the takeoff speed of a C130 (I grew up in a Navy town and saw a lot of military aircraft). It was shaped sort of like a Frisbee, but was wider than it was long. When it passed us the car died completely. I mean no radio, no lights, no engine. Nothing. Completely dead. After about 2-3 seconds before the vehicle came to a complete stop, everything came back on, including the engine. It scared the crap out of us. I have no idea what it was. I asked some of the Navy dads that I knew, and they just laughed it off as teenage hysteria. Interesting. Teenage hysteria? Wouldn't be a bad name for a band back in the 1960s.  |

Yes two. At the time both were UFO's.. I have identified what I believe to be exactly what I saw: 1st broad daylight typical saucer shape craft like a upside down plate with a raised area in the middle. Hovered just a few thousand feet from where I was but only stayed there for 15 seconds. I think it is this: The Lockheed X-22A is a two-man antigravity discoid craft. The late Colonel Steve Wilson, USAF stated that military astronauts trained at a secret aerospace academy adjacent to but separate and underground from the regular Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, CO. These military astronauts then operate out of Beale and Vandenberg Air Force Bases, Northern California. From those bases, these military astronauts regularly fly trans-atmospherically and out into deep space. The late Colonel Steve Wilson confirmed that one of the aerospace craft these astronauts use is the X-22A. Second was at night close to Scott Air Force Base and this word for word is what I saw in the night sky in the mid 90's: The Northrop antigravity disc (designation unknown) is manufactured by Northrop Grumman’s Advanced Concepts and Technologies Division. I have dubbed it the 'Great Pumpkin' from its brilliant ruddy golden-orangish glow. I first saw these craft operationally test-flown in 1992 above the Groom Range ridge line at Area 51, Nevada. Later I saw the same intensely burning-bright orange-gold craft that I had seen above Areas 51 being test-flown sixty miles north of Los Angeles in the Tehachapi Mountains northwest of Edwards Air Force Base. There Northrop has its secret saucer manufacturing works buried deep within Tehachapi Mountain. I saw the same intensely burning-bright orange-gold craft test-flown above Northrop’s ridge-top test bed there as I had seen flown above Area 51. When energized, these discs emit their characteristic intense glow. It is reasonable to assume that this is due to strong ionization, and that electrogravitics is the methodology of their field propulsion. |

Yep ---------------- a couple of times...  UFO [ C' MON EVERYBODY ] LIVE GERMANY 1973 |

1972. My dad and i are cowboy camping on a clear Fall night in the hill country of Texas. We saw planes, a few meteors and a satellite or two. One thing tracked due east at a slow, even speed like the reflection off a satellite. We started watching it as it climbed up over the trees. Then it did a weird thing. It stopped and reversed course when it got almost overhead. We both were tripping out. A father and his boy saw a real UFO. Later on, i learned about Einstein and his rock steady limit on the speed of anything and a better grasp on just so isolating that has to make interstellar travel. That killed my belief in alien UFOs travelling here. The realization was not a total letdown, though. It made me realize that earthbound scientists on our planet, circa 1970s, had already created some really cool shit. Nothing manned could have survived the abrupt maneuver we saw that night. |

I saw the "Phoenix lights" in 1997. Sitting on a friends deck in South Phoenix Ahwatukee. Watched them for ten minutes or more. Spent all my young years as a Air Force brat on airbases, and most of my adult life working on or around aircraft. Never seen anything like it since, or probably ever will again. |
 Seriously though, yes. It was clearly a "UFO" in the traditional sense. Take two shallow bowls turn one upside down and stack it onto the other and make them counter rotate. That's what I saw. I was a kid and it made alien abduction stuff scare the living shit out of me, particularly this movie: |

87/88 On wheel watch crossing the Gulf of Alaska heading for Kodiak 190ft coastal freighter. The whole sky lit up, then dimmed down. Could see what looked like a cylindrical shaped thing moving in different directions in the sky like it was looking for something. Calm night, no noise except a drone from the ship's engine. Then it was gone in a flash. 30 seconds later the radio blew up with other boats asking pretty much the same thing, WTF was that and did you see it. I sailed for 6 years and never saw anything like it. |
|
Yes when I was a kid. Couldn’t sleep so I just stared off into space. A frigging huge triangle flew down, hovered over me for a second and they took off like a bat out of hell. The crazy thing, I was lying on my back in bed and my ceiling became translucent in order for me to see it outside in the night sky. I pinched myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. |

Quoted: They are smart enough to stop visiting us, once they realized that everyone was carrying a high definition digital camera. This is also proof that Bigfoot is an alien. Quoted: Quoted: Imagine being able to figure out how to break the speed of light only to accidently leave your high beams on for the entire world to see you. Aliens are dumb dumbs.

| I was camping in northeast WA, in a sleeping bag on the ground by a lake, and saw a light that was traveling throughout the sky. I have no frame of reference for how far away it was or the distances it was moving, but it was the same size and brightness as the stars around. It was moving in these 90 degree patterns going left, up, right, down, sometimes stopping to hover in place. It was moving basically across my entire view of the night sky, and it moved so steadily and would change directions instantly. I watched it for about an hour. It was the strangest thing I've ever seen. |
