Have you seen a UFO?, ufo observer poll

I have (actually my parents, sister and I have had at least 1 group sighting). I've had several others throughout the years. However no ET sightings sorry to say

god you guys are boring..... c'mon I'm atleast expecting to get flamed!

We have more interest in arguing against creation here. Possibly put a spin on your story by admitting there is bibilical evidence for UFO's.

I have seen many things I would consider an Unidentified Flying Object. Or possibly an Unidentified Falling Object. I've cooked many an Unidentified Frying Object. So what's your point? I hope you're not suggesting that an alien fell out of his spacecraft, or that I cooked his/her/it's corpse for dinner one evening!

Yes I have and only once. Lat year about this time walking my dog at about midnight. I looked up on a perfectly clear night and noticed a semi-large light in the sky moveing rappidly in some odd pattern, and stopping for just seconds inbetween. I had time to discernr what it wasn't. Not a plane, helicopter, sattilite, or any sort of meteor or such. As I watched, then aware of what I was seeing, it moved upward and stopped onme more time. It's next movement is which removed all doubt. It shot directly out of our atmosphere with such a speed it left green colored 'star trek streaks' behind it that eventually disapeared in a matter of seconds. I had a feeling I was going to see one eventually and had been wondering in the recent months before then when I actually would. Well, I did, and once you do-it's just one of those things you know it when you see it. The government makes ufo's but I don't think theirs quite have the ability to shoot out into space like that, or disapear, as some or many other people see.
It makes melaugh to watch a rocket be lit into space from the hardest point possible directly erect and straight upwards- what idiots.

:wacko:well don't think i crazy but I've seen one a little light in the sky not moving like a airplane but but it was unidentified saucer shaped and flying

I have had 3 close encounters of the second kind and one close encounter of the third kind. Each time there were different witnesses with me.

Im guessing the aliens told you that we should stop wars and pollution...
Ive always wondered why a superior race would travel from far away to tell us such a stupid thing.

Yes, my mother-in-law!

Yes, I was in the middle of no where, well there was a military base within 40 clicks or so. Maybe you think it was some experimental craft, no way it did not make a sound and it hovered about 5 stories above us.

I am not easily spooked not with my background, and the object was the size of a three story building/material very opaque. It cover the ground with what our eyes can recognize, many colors. I wanted to take a picture because there were at least 4 cars/truck but I really was looking up but so was everyone else.

And no, I do not drink, drugs, and my mother-in-law did not abuse me when I was a child.

And I had a bad feeling but who would not, I had a high performance car $$$, and I broke the car/sound stream if you know what I mean.

You asked....

Back in 1968 as I lay on a sleeping bag in the backyard of a friends house we watched two lights far above us moving. We thought they were satelites except they were moving as though they were fighting each other and we could see streaks of light going from one to the other. One disappeared and then the other continued on its way over the horizon.

Once at a family reunion in the mountains just after sunset we saw a bright object make a trail the width of the Moon go overhead without making any noise. It was huge and left a red afterglow for many minutes from Northwest to Southeast. This was about 1982.

In the light of day in about 1971 we saw what looked like a Saturn V type rocket go from east to west over our heads in the southeastern part of Washington state. Also no noise.

About 1978 I saw a 747 fly about 300 feet above our town as did many in town, we contacted the authorities and they said there were no 747 or any large aircraft flying in that region, nor did they ever fly there, or that low.

You guys either read allot of Sci-Fi books, or you write them! allot of good imaginations here, I have to say.

I am not from your solar system and we came here a long time ago. Stop denying us longer.

We do ask to pay no taxes, four months vacations a year and free burgers once a week.

Comply or we will invade !

I've seen ufo's on 2 occasions.

Both times, the ufo's are just like very bright stars, cant tell how far away they are.

1st time I saw 2 of these going around each other, orbiting a central point. Holding your finger out, they were about 1 and a half fingers apart roughly.
I watched them do this for about 10 secs, then they suddenly shot off in exactly opposite directions, no turning, just suddenly moving a different way. They also just about doubled in speed.
I couldn't watch both, so watched one until it went over the horizon about 10 seconds later, covering about 3/4 of the sky - v fast.

2nd time I was with a mate, we saw this 'star' moving. It was very erratic, lots of sudden changes in direction, sometimes it stopped, then suddenly zooming again.
Watched it for over an hour so plenty of time to think about what it could be.. The answer we came to was certainly nothing humans could build.

See a weird on once, that consisted of three parts, a larger one and two smaller ones. The smaller ones were moving out then back out then back again. Then one of the smaller ones went to the large one as disapear then the second did the same then the larger one just slowly moved off.

Mighty weird. Do they have aircraft carriers that fly these days?

I have read hundreds of science fiction books and I have also written a few. You are implying that I am not being truthful because of a vivid imagination or ability to tell a tall tale, I can only speak for myself but these are real occurrences. Look at it this way, these encounters increased my awareness of these things and I started reading all I could about them. I have also read many UFO type books, but also after the fact. It increased my interest in science also, so the cause and effect are not necessarily the order you jokingly indicate. These encounters were no joke when they happened and I have often wondered if there is not intelligent life in our own backyard. Worlds like Europa and Titan increase the likelihood that it is possible to have intelligent life within our solar system, not including ours of course.

We have only begun to explore our solar system, the Cassini mission has found several moons we did not know even existed. Who knows what may be on an unexplored world of Uranus, Neptune, or even out into the Ort cloud? We do not know what parameters are required for life to exist. Recently scientists found rings around Pluto and another moon or two. It only takes one other world with intelligent life in our solar system to make UFO’s a very real proposition. Why would we not know they existed? Probably because they found us first and want to keep a low profile while they consider us. Why have we not intercepted any of their transmissions? Maybe our methods are too primitive, or maybe they use something totally alien for communications.
