It was the mothership landing to take rosie back.
Actually, probably was a low flying general aviation aircraft flying at such an angle to you that you only saw the strobe. |

On the news they reported that a Russian satalite reentered to crash in the pacific last night, it was clearly visible over the US as it reentered and burny up.

They had over 1000 people contact News9 last night to report the disintegrating object as it re-entered the atmosphere. It was visible from Texas to Kansas

Check Art Bell's radio show Monday evening. I'm sure if anyone else saw the UFO, they will be talking about it. Better yet, call in and tell Art all about your experience. [:D]

You shoulda shot it down. Imagine the fame and fortune you could have achieved with just a few well-placed rounds!
Either that or they woulda fried you with their death-ray. |

Quoted: It was the mothership landing to take rosie back. Actually, probably was a low flying general aviation aircraft flying at such an angle to you that you only saw the strobe. No way, no how. This was not any type of red strobe such as the ones mandated on all aircraft. Much too large to be that anyway. And a low flying gen. aviation aircraft just doesn't go almost straight UP and out of sight as a single red dot. |

Quoted: On the news they reported that a Russian satalite reentered to crash in the pacific last night, it was clearly visible over the US as it reentered and burny up. That was my first thought....but, didn't I say it was in a hovering state, then a horizontal flight, then up out of sight? Does ANYTHING, upon reentry, do this??? I think not. I've seen many things burn up in our atmosphere. They have a predictable downward single flight pattern, trail debris and the sighting is over within a few seconds--if that much. |

Quoted: The usaf also tested some missile witch was visable all over socal. the other night. I also saw a missile test but was out of Vandenburg AFB a few months ago. It was also an interesting thing to see. There were three things I noticed about this missile: It went almost straight up, had a tail (from the spent fuel, of course), and for which it left a lingering streak of greenish colors behind. But does a missile hover FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, go horizontal, then vertical?? Then first thing I had ruled out was: missile. |

(Kalifornia--yeah THAT place) is nowhere near or in between Texas and Kansas, buddy [:)] Are you sure you're replying to the right thread? Once again, this was no reentry anyway. |

M4C, if you think this crowd has some reasonable answers watch the government response. (If they're forced to respond.)
My guess the government will pick an old favorite - Swamp Gas !! |

Quoted: what you say was not a ufo, it was swamp gas from a weather balloon caught in a thermal pocket that reflected the light from venus. OffRoad RONTFLMAO X 2!!! Very creative Offroad. I get what you're trying to say (via tone of sarcasm)... As I figured, this turned out to be a funny thread and that some have tried to help out. It was fun. [:P] But I'd still like to know what the origin is of what I saw--guess I'll never know--which helps to make my final point: how many times has this happened where the "sight-seer" never will know??? All I know is that up until the other night I was like most of you guys while I grew up my whole life being told stories of aerial phenomena by very serious people I knew. One was my teacher, a businessman, a Continental Airlines Captain, an uncle, and my Dad--who isn't one to fuck around with silly shit. I won't even get into the bizarre shit he's seen once. Oh well, live and learn. As for [(:|)] "aliens" [(:|)] they can kiss my royal Gunlovin'....... [:D] [:D] M4C |

It was mothman.
[url]http://www.spe.sony.com/movies/mothman/[/url] Read some of the history and true stories, sounds like I found your UFO. What do I get, a complimentary Colt Government Carbine will sufice. P.S. Make sure you turn your sound up a little before clicking the link, that sound won't leave your head for awhile. Especially when you read the stories. |

I saw a UFO when I was 13 or 14 - just a series of fast moving lights in the sky - like the laser shows we have now but back in the early 70's there weren't lasers used for light shows and the lights were above the cloud level.
