Ever see a UFO?

Has anyone here ever seen a UFO?

Actually, yes.

It was about 25 or 30 years ago (late '70s). I was hanging out in the back seat of a car riding down I81 late in the evening when a strange-looking "star" caught my attention: it looked like a star except that it was moving(!). It was moving way too quickly to be a plane (too small a point of light moving too fast - a plane that far away so as to be that small a point of light would have been moving much more slowly). I thought that maybe it was a satellite but it was moving too slowly to be that. Just as I was about to dismiss it as my imagination getting the best of me, the "star" made a quick 90-degree turn and zipped out of sight (and I DO mean ZIPPED - that sucker was out of sight in a fraction of a second!!!).

I have. I grew up in Kaneohe, Hawaii, right across the bay from the Kaneohe Marine Corpse Air Base. One night in 1983 I was at the front door talking to the paper boy, who was standing outside, while paying him. All of a sudden a blue ball of light shot out from above my house, it was about a good 700 feet up. It shot out and then stopped in mid air on a dime. Then it zoomed up. Like the guy said above, it was really fast, like milliseconds. It happened really quick, and I said "Oh shit! Look!" By the time he turned around the thing was gone. At first I thought my eyes where playing tricks on me when about 30 seonds later you could hear the scramble siren and every single jet and helicopter that the base had was in the air. There must have been ten helicopters hovering where I saw the thing stop in mid air. Out of all my life living in that house, I have never seen the base scramble that many planes.

No but reading some of the stories in the MUFON journal every month I can see that sometimes when you get close to them it can be a traumatic experience. Leaving burn marks, cancer, abductions, etc. I may sound crazy but so many people claim these things you have to listen a little bit. MUFON stands for the Mutual UFO Network and I think their site is www.mufon.com worth checking into.

buggs-- There are lots of stories in the UFO literature about these things being seen near military installations and planes being scrambled to meet them. Of course, the Pentagon denies such things really happen.

I've never seen a UFO, but I don't rule out anything. I think it would be unrealistic to believe we're alone in a galaxy this size.

Drew-- I agree, as do most scientists who've studied the matter at all. Of course, life elsewhere, and some of that life coming here are two entirely different propositions.

PS: Give the beautiful Ann a good tickling for me. 🙂

I saw something, not sure what it was, reminded me more of a military jet than an alien aircraft. I was living in Missouri at the time, talking with my brother infront of my house late at night. There was a little rat dog across the street barking it's head off, which it always did so I wasn't paying much attention, then it stopped barking so I looked across the street, as I was turning my head I heard a metallic clank sound and saw three lights forming a triangle coming towards us, it was going really slow and flying very low. It passed over us, it's silhouette was a triangle slightly bigger than the lights and it made a really strange humming sound. I still ask my brother if he remembers seeing it now and then to make sure it wasn't a dream, but he always says that he remembers it too. We figure the man is trying to replace the stealth bomber.

Triangular craft such as the one you describe have been reported regularly over the past fifteen years.

I haven't, but my step-dad had, when he was younger and riding on a boat in a bayou with one of his friends. He said it looked kinda like an upside-down Superdome.

Hm..maybe the Saints are really aliens from another planet..that could explain why they play so horribly. 😀
