I noticed that there are only one or 2 UFO stories in here. Why is that?
Haven't any of you guys seen one? I've seen a couple myself but nothing good enough for a story.

The first UFO I saw when I was about 12 or 13. Nothing to exciting about it but I was just reading a book of UFO reports by ex-military/ex-government types and found a story exactly like it from a military pilot.

It was moving just about east-west over my parents house and appeared as a solid red light about the same size and intensity as the stars. I remember thinking then that it could have been a satellite but today I know that satellites are normally launched in a west to east orbit if they are put into an equatorial orbit (rather than a polar orbit). I also thought that it could be a plane but it covered the sky horizon to horizon in about 7-10 seconds.

Now UFO's are something I've seen lots of. Especially in the summer when we sit out on the front porch at night watching the night sky. Lots of things fly I cannot identify. Now I've never seen anything I thought was of extra terrestial origin mind you. But I've seen lots of flying objects I wasn't able to positively identify ergo they were Unidentified Flying Objects aka UFOs. :lol:

It was about late fall around '96...I was driving on a small road in Syria VA, with my moonroof open on my car, enjoying the full moon, and the quiet drive, no music, about 2300...
it was a very winding road, with alot of changes of elevation, when the was a bright light right above my car at the tree line...I was going slower than normal cause I was not that familur with the road, plus deer+55 MPH=bad day...so I was doing about 25, the light matched me...it wasn't quite search light bright, but bright enough to hide the object, it continued to follow me, and match me perfectly, at first I thought chopper, but there was no noise...I even shifted it out of gear, shut off my engine and coasted down a long hill...no nosie but the road...I started my car, and continued on, and it stayed with me for about 5 min till I got near Route 29...then it went from 30 to afterburner speeds faster than any fighter could...(and I have seen alot of fighters do it...military childhood) and kept tree line hight as it bobed over the mountains...
I wasn't scared, but it was cool cause I could see it the whole time through the moon roof...
Thats my UFO story...wife saw one in daylight as a kid in Michigan I believe...

I've seen what I thought to be UFO's in my neck of the woods as well. Have one friend who actually saw something. But my tales are sightings from higher altitudes. Most recent one was what I thought was a plane putting down it's landing gear (but it was up in the air...why would it be doing that up there?)...I put 2+2 together just the other day "Hey, that mighta been a UFO :roll: ". The other two sightings I've seen looked like a star, but the star evolved into a craft and the craft had no blinking lights, made no sound, and moved slowly downward out into the black abyss. I guess there's more than made public of. Quite frankly I don't know why anyone would be afraid of them or anything. That is unless of course they do sumtin to ya, then of course I could agree. But people are all freaking out about UFO's. No reason to in my mind.

More people have instant cameras and less sightings---do you suppose there is a connection?

Wiz,

I don't get wut you're talkin about to make a connection. Then again I'm feeling a lil loopty today. Sorry if it's obvious but I'm not getting it. Please elaborate. Thanx!

Maybe it's because people just don't go outside at night anymore! They're watching the boob tube or sitting in front of their 'puter! :wink:

I saw a UFO last night. There was a series of severe thunderstorms moving into our area. We went out and sat on the front porch to watch the light show.

Not long after a lightning bolt had lit up the sky I saw a black shadow for lack of a better description fly quickly from my right to my left. I was sittint with feet propped up on the porch rail and it came out from behind my feet and moved to my left.

It definitely was flying and I have absolutely no clue what it was, ergo UFO.

Object appeared blacker than the night sky yet it seemed almost transparent. I cannot say just how fast it moved as I honestly don't know how close it was to me. If it was physically over my land then it was moving about like a fast bird would move. If it was further off then it was moving much faster. Total viewing time was perhaps two seconds.

As I said I have absolutely no clue what it was. Wife didn't see it.

Yup I know and I mentioned that possiblity to my wife. I don't "think" that's what it was but who knows. All I know is it flew passed in front of me or appeared to do so and I was unable to identify it. Heck it could have been one of Matt's witches looking for him for all I know.

Here's my only UFO story; I live near a large resivour and it happened during the day twice to me I was headed home on my long street on my motorcycle and i caught something with the sun flashing off it over the resivour property. It was like 2pm in the afternoon on both days i have seen it. It looked to be a round object with no sound and as it turned the sunlite reflected off of it like someone flashing a mirror at you thats how i seen it from my bike. I stopped and watched it till it just disappeared. When it flashed it was turning very slow then it just vaporized gone!!!!

While our goverment keeps everything hushed up the Russians are releasing all of there documents on UFO's. Some of there stories have hit the history channel with pictures to back them up. They did show one saucer stuck in the ground. There are some stories about a 10th and up to 13th planet in our solar system and its mentioned in the acient times too. They say they were here helping us at one time but when we started fighting amongst ourselves they left us on our own but said someday they would be back. I'm not sure which story is true and I doubt it the'll be here in my lifetime. I just hope they return and make peace before we destroy the planet we live on.

Bill,

I just heard the other day on National Geographic that there have been hundreds of planets found. Just none of great mention I guess :shock: . But I might have to look that one just to make sure. But I'm pretty sure that's what the guy said.

1911crazy · « **Reply #16 on:** April 01, 2005, 11:18:36 PM »

They also said something about the people being very tall on the 10th or 13th planet too and they breeded with us this is why the tall gene comes out sometimes and we get very tall people. Maybe someday all this stuff will make sense. BigBill

I dont know if I already told this one before, but back in 1968, it seemed their was alot of U.F.O. sightings across the U.S.A. and Okla. My dad (which worked for the midland valley railroad), and crew were on a train crossing the arkansas river, about 17:00 hrs, and to their left of the tracks, following them was a small egg shaped U.F.O. that was glowing. The object was about the size of a small compact car, and continued following them for about 2 miles, when suddenly, it kicked in the burners, and speed off with incredibly speed, so fast, that it left a blue vapor trail.
The train is very noisy, but they could not hear any noise from the U.F.O. The entire crew of 4 people saw the U.F.O, and none could tell what it was. He described it as egg shape and the size of a volswagen.
The same evening, there were alot of reports of U.F.O. reportings in the Tulsa World paper.

Hay BigBill - there was a book out once that was either entitled 'The 12th Planet' or about a 12th planet. I'm not sure who wrote it but it may have been Vonnegut (? sp). One thread in the book is that this planet appears once every 5K years and each time it appears it coincides with some significant human experience. It referenced the Tower of Babble incident, the great flood, and a number of other incidents that are written about in man's antiquity. I thought it was pretty interesting and it really spoke to alien intervention coinciding with many of man's biblical events.

Kinda makes ya wonder. Mikey.

Mikey; Every so often this is on TV about the tall people, the bible and the 10th or 12th or 13th planet. It goes back to ancient times its written in the ancient scrips or schrolls. I don't think we really understand it fully yet. But your right it makes us wonder. BigBill

I think there is a direct link between more digital cameras and Video cameras = less UFO's...
They saw what happened in LA with rodney king and all our lawsuits these days and are worried that someone will record an anal probe/cattle mutilation/abduction and sue them all for damages...then they would have to relocate some of their greys, settle out of court, make a public service announcement...and heck...if its real bad...Michael Moore might make a "documentary" about them...
they just don't want to risk that...

Sara's Boy friend that is what I have been saying and you are one of the few that can see that the camera improvements have killed off the phonies.

inluvwithsara · « **Reply #23 on:** May 20, 2005, 07:53:30 AM »

That and Adobe Photoshop has made too hard to believe any photo...
After all, I have seen Neo dodge bullets, Nightcrawler teleport, Anikan use the force, and Vampires galore...catch my point...tecknology has made it easy to fake it, but I think even harder to prove it real...
I could find Bigfoot having tea with a grey and nessie...take photos, video, get their autographs...cell phone numbers, mother's maden name...and I still would be called a fraud...who wants that hassle...their good name drug though the mud...no thanks...I'd love to see Bigfoot...have no interest in shooting him...(unless he wants to kill me...in which I really don't give me much a chance...) Aliens...no interest in seeing them, after all, look what they did to those space marines...nessie would be cool though...oh! or a megladon!!!!(just not while swimming...unless he is saying "fish are friends, not food!")

Jack Crevalle · « **Reply #24 on:** May 20, 2005, 07:25:17 PM »

Legally, photographic evidence has always relied on the testimony of the person who took the photo about as long as it's been around. This is because photograghic manipulation, fakery, and just plain mis-interpretation of what was photographed has occured since the camera was invented.

Likewise, once a photograph, digital image, film, whatever has been analyzed for inconsistancies, you still have to rely on the word of the person that took it.

I personally don't put much value on single visual reports of phenomnon. Or even multiple reports from the same vantage point. There are however, many reports of UFO sightings that are backed by observers who reported seeing the same thing from different vantage points at the same time that did not have knowledge of the other observer. There are even videos of the same object from different vantage points. There are many instances where radar has detected objects silmultaneous to visual observations.

I have not personally seen a UFO that I can remember but my Father has.
He and a few of his friends was on a trip heading to a hunting outing. They was going up the east side of Pennsylvania (I think they was on some turnpike but I could have that wrong)
Anyway they was in a motor home and it was like 2AM. They came upon a lot of cars stopped both on the side of the road and in the road. They got out of the motor home and walked up to where people was standing. I guess it was sort of like on a hill the they parked below the top and walked up to the top.
Anyway he says that after they got up there they seen what every one was looking at. He says it looked to be about the size of a football field and was moving slowly right towards them. He said it took what seemed like 5 min for it to get on top of them and just kept going real slow. It must have been over them about 5 min or so also. He said it had all different color of lights all over it and the rest was pitch black almost like nothing was there at all but you could tell it was. He said it made no sound at all and just kept moving at the same pace the whole time they watched it.
After a while it finely went out of sight they all headed back to the motor home and got in. They did not talk about it he said for at least hour or so. He said also what was funny that no one at the sight talked at all. No one person said anything to anyone else as far as he know. They just all stood there staring at this thing in the sky.

I did not learn about it until about 3 years ago and this was about 15 years after it happened. He said none of them even told their wives for a couple of years and none have told anyone else.
These was all men in their 40's all of them owned their own businesses of some sort Ranging from a general contractor to cooling and heating contractor to a plumbing contractor (My Father was the plumber) They all was leaders in their communitys and well respect men around their town. I have no problem saying that I believe ever thing my Father and one of the other men have told me about that night. One of the men was ex air force and he says he would not be shocked to know that it was something thet they do not have.
They all said that it made no sound at all as it was moving is what really got them. Something that large as long and wide as a football field moving threw the sky without a sound.

Anyway this would have happened around 1982 or 1983 in south eastern Pennsylvania close to the NJ border. They was driving from Florida to northern Pennsylvania to go hunting at someones place up there.

I lived North of Area 51 and while growing up - saw many sights that could not be explained - but now - being much - much older and seeing the stealth planes that are flown - some of the things that we saw - now look a lot like those stealth planes. Hard telling what else they were testing...
So now - I am no longer a believer in UFO's - fun yes - but as was stated - with all the cameras - ect - where are the good pictures of the UFO's and the small gray men (?) driving them?
