What UFOs Have You (physically) Seen?
 

I'm new here and figured this general type of thread Must be buried somewhere Here under UFOs but I couldn't find one. I just thought it would be interesting to know what we all have clearly seen/experienced as far as a Physical Visual Sighting.

As for me: 2013- The Orange-ball variety,rumbling version, close enough to be obvious (10miles? away or 20? above tree line). I Reported it to a UFO website and a month later when the stats came out, someone 40 miles away had reported the Same one the same night I did! wooHoo. Validation was a thrill for us. (hubby watched this one with me).

2016-A very bright light bigger than the space station and not moving (I had a fantasy I was seeing a supernova at first----hahaha) that just sat there for several minutes and then blinked right out. Not "UFO" certain for this one.

1990's-My greatest experience so far--One of the types Whitley Strieber would have called a "howler". Out in the remote woods of Idaho,rock hounding one summer, I heard "a celestial song" and then a peculiar metallic escalating wolf-howl-sound, repeat many times. It was eerie,otherworldly and beautiful. My partner in the tent heard it too but would Not get up with me. I was still awake when the sounds stopped and I thought "it's going to Leave now!" so I got out of the tent to watch the sky. Sure enough the thing "took off" ,now Utterly silent,from where it had been "working". I was in the forest and it just went to tree top level to give me a good look with few branches in the way. It looked like a Christmas tree! It had So many blinking colors I was just flabbergasted with excitement. It cruised off horizontal then I couldn't see it. The next morning the caretaker of the campground said she'd listened to the "music of the spheres" too but didn't get up to see anything. She was an experienced forester of the area and knew darn well that was no animal OR local "machine".

1970's-A Big dark thing that blocked out a great deal of the starry summer sky,it was so low, as it flew past. I was sleeping outside startled awake by my intuition. Then heard a sort of clicking on a far horizon,a silent moment,then the clicking right above me with the passing shadow,then a silent moment,then the clicking far far away the direction it had gone. I was told it might have been experimental stealth. But my opinion is that it was just too huge.

And several little things over the decades, too I enjoyed but can't call "biggies".

I only know about the shining ones. A tear drop in silver color flying across the night skies like pilots. I've seen thousands of them dancing around the whole night to the next morning two times in my life. They showed me there are more to this life and it's all around us. They can do some crazy maneuvers.

I saw one in the 90's in the UK. I was in the back seat of my Mum's car and she was driving me from her house to mine. I was looking out of the window for entertainment on a long journey and that's when I saw it way up in the sky. It was moving very very fast along in a straight line so I thought ooo a military plane perhaps?? Then it moved upwards suddenly, across again the off at an angle and disappeared. I knew it was something different but what... that I don't know.

If you desire to end up in a mental hospital ...... by all means this is the way to completing the ego cycle of insanity

Not UFOs .... not exactly flying either ....... i had gone on a search with my kids one summer and even got close up views through my telescope twice, something i though impossible as they appear and disappear quickly.

The first one i observed appear like Mars but was in the wrong spot in the night sky and it was cloudy! I could FEEL it was CONSCIOUSLY AWARE. I was perplexed to say the least .... as i had never seen anything i could not identify and explain. The thinking mind CANNOT get it right ....... but the Intuitive Higher Mind gets it FEELINGLY ~

A few weeks later with Mars at Opposition i took my telescope to show a friend the Polar cap on Mars. As i set up the scope a second Mars appeared and i zoomed in on it quickly ...... one light became two ...... and then 5. It was in the form of a Sacred Geometric Light design ...... it was the Symbol of the Christ! It drew a cross in the sky!

9 months later i watched another appear out of nowhere and even captured a video as it moved right overhead , no more than 350 feet away. This One was making shifting patterns ...... ancient Roman Seals .... Mercury , Jupiter and then a cross ~ This one i also observed through the telescope !

Called St. Elmos Fire by early explorers ~

Foo Fighters by WW2 pilots .....

In the 1950s these Balls of Light .... Super-Conscious emanations .....shut down Nuclear Missiles in both America and Russia ....all of them!

I do believe they are the Highest of the Divine Emanations ..... Seraphim ~

I and a friend were lucky enough to be witness to what appeared to be a 'nuts and bolts' craft, very typical of classic 'flying saucer' with window holes around it, in the middle of a sunny day, floating in front of us, less than 100ft in the air - and the thing seemed to be around 40ft in width. I was 14 at the time (friend was 15) and at that point in my life wasn't interested in UFO's but obviously knew that what we were witnessing was something completely out of the ordinary.

It seemed to appear from nowhere and at first just hovered in front of us over the main road which ran through our village. My friend and I, in a state of shock started screaming repeatedly "what is it?" and "why aren't the cars stopping?", because although the traffic was light, cars weren't stopping or slowing to witness the massive object in the sky in front of them - makes me wonder if only my friend and I could see it. The craft then slowly started to move, descending ever so slightly as it did and went off toward the coast until it was behind houses and we couldn't see it anymore (the village was on the coast but about a mile from the actual beach).

We heard on the local radio that there had been other UFO sightings in the general area but I never read of anything officially documented.

Incredible experience!

About 25 years ago in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, me and 3 friends saw a green light in the sky. The light looked flat like a spotlight, which is what I suggested it was, but there were no clouds in the sky and it wasn't moving back and forth. It disappeared behind some trees, but came back a few moments later and just sat still overhead.

I thought it would be funny if I yelled and waved my arms "Hey, over here... come get us!" It wasn't funny when the light started to get bigger and scared the **** out of us. The fact that it was getting bigger meant it was getting closer. We were getting ready to run when it stopped moving again and then suddenly it took off out of sight, straight up into the sky. The green light rapidly became so small it disappeared in less that 2 or 3 seconds. We ran all the way back to the house and didn't look back.

I'll never forget that moment, I can still see it in my mind as if it were yesterday.

The only real thing as far as I could tell was one night when we (my brother and I) were outside watching shooting stars. There was not so much light pollution as it is now, so the stars were seen quite a bit more compared to nowadays. The night was dark with no clouds and plenty of little stars to observe. At some point I remember my brother calling for me completely completely shocked that I have got to get outside this instant that he saw a ufo. I got outside and we started looking into the sky. There were no light and no sound at all, but what happened was at some point a large black triangular shape silently drifted above us over the house. We only could notice it because of the stars. There were so many that where the crafted flew above us, there was a clear triangular void to be seen in the sky, with no stars. And this black triangular void silently drifted above us. The shape was clear and large. It was not something that resembled a triangle, it was a triangle and a large one. No sound, no lights.

I saw one a few years ago travelling home after a late night at the gym. I was driving down this newly constructed road that was very dark and quiet, when all of a sudden I could see what I initially thought was a 'glider plane' about 50ft above me travelling in the same direction.

However it was pitch black, and it was heading towards a small forest at the end of the road, so to this day I'll never know what it was. But it didn't make a noise so it had me rattled a little....

Your experience sounds a bit like mine. I also considered it being a hand glider, just that it was way to big and it didn't have the right shape, but was instead a really big triangle. Besides it really makes no sense to be flying a hand glider in dark with no lights on. Well at least at my location it didn't, since it is an urban area with no place to land.

Not sure if it was anything alien related but I remember a long while ago I saw something what appeared to be a white glowing dot shooting across the sky with great speed and reached the other side of the sky in mere seconds before disappearing. I could be wrong but it didn't look like a comet or shooting star as it didn't leave a trail behind. Whatever the hell it was I still don't know today.

I have only seen few crafts. Last winter I saw a bright light at the ocean. It was a dark night, and no airplane could have such a bright light while flying in the sky. It seemed as the craft was looking for something, when it seemed more bright at some points. I was about 3 kilometres away from it.

Then the light hit me too, and I felt the energy of that ship, as it was not from this world. The feeling it self was warm, and I thought it was some "higher energy", because it actually felt good. But I just walked away, I am not ready for alien contact in a physical realm. I prefer to communicate with them in other ways (e.g. channeling)

Wonderful experience, but I love to seem them from few kilometres away, otherwise it would be a bit scary experience. Perhaps they sensed my fear or they just had other business to do, so they did not follow me.

Only thing I have ever personally observed in this regard, was several years ago while way up north in the U.S., on a camping trip with several other people. It was late at night, bonfire and such, visibility of the stars was very clear and vivid. The lot of us were laying down on blankets on the ground, staring at the sky and just talking. One of the stars started to move but not like a flying vehicle. It would move fairly quickly straight 'down' and be still for a few seconds, then move fairly quickly straight to the right, be still for a while, then move up and to the left, and so on. We all noticed it one by one and were all just sort of freaked out and fascinated by it. Then a couple of the other stars, we noticed doing the same thing. It was very obvious because the visibility of the stars in general was very high, so the stars around the moving ones were fixed and not moving at all, which just made the movement of the few really stand out, side by side. We couldn't figure out what they actually were, so for us they remained unidentified. I admit I still don't know what they were, though, haha.

1)(this one happened when I was 20 years old)

I just left the house on my way to pick up my girlfriend for a date, Friday evening, about 6:30PM. Lived in a small community, not very many houses, driving out to the main highway, about two miles away. No sooner I reached the blacktop road that takes me to the main highway, I see what I thought was a helicopter, with a spotlight, shining it on the treetops of the trees along the road. I occasionally glanced over at it and noticed it was following the treeline, parallel with me.

When I reached the main highway, I turned right onto it. As soon as I did, a very bright light hit my car from above. My thoughts were the helicopter spotlighted me, and wanted me to pull over. It's not uncommon for the state highway patrol to use helicopters to search for vehicles.

I kept driving thinking it might just be shining the light on me to read my license plates and get the make and color of the car. The light stayed on me, so, I pulled over into a driveway in front of a house.

I shut off the headlights and motor, and as I stepped out of the car, I noticed the " helicopter " was just about 50 foot to my left, maybe 50 foot off the ground level of the yard.

This is when I noticed the " helicopter " made absolutely no sound, and, as I got a really good look at it standing outside of my car, I saw it was not a helicopter. It took just a few seconds to realize it's nothing I recognize or have ever seen before and then " UFO " came to mind.

It had different colored lights that surrounded it's circumference, and, I could tell the object was rotating. I even saw " windows ", though didn't see anyone looking out of them.

As I thought " flying saucer, UFO ", the object shot off at an incredible speed, till it was the size of a distant star in the sky. I jumped back into my car and went straight home.

I went into the house, my mom and sister were standing in the kitchen and mom started yelling at me asking me where I was. She said my girlfriend kept calling the house wondering where I was at.

It was after 9:00 PM. I couldn't make sense of that, as I was only gone about ten minutes total. Mom told me if I was going to cancel the date the least I could do was call my girlfriend and tell her. I sat down on a chair by the kitchen table as I was getting my *** chewed out by mom trying to comprehend what just happened, what I saw. I didn't tell mom or my sister, at that time.

I went to the living room, and stared out the large window, checking out the sky. I was scared. I think mom knew something was wrong as I kept saying the clocks are wrong, it can't be no later than 7:00 PM, if that.

My sister then had gone upstairs to her room, and I finally told mom I saw something that scared me and came back home. She thought I went over to one of my friend's to drink beer and decided not to go on my date.

She then said I should call my girlfriend and tell her I'm home and not to worry. I did, and she talked me into coming over to her house, even though it was after 9:30, we could just drive around town or something.

I did and told her what happened. She believed me, though I think my mom and sister ( who found out later from mom ) didn't.

It wasn't until years later I started reading stories about people claiming to be abducted under hypnosis, and discovery of " missing time ". I thought back to my UFO experience.

I don't know what happened during those two and a half hours of " missing time ", that Friday night, and, I hope I never find out.

2) ( This one happened about five years ago )

I work evening shift. I usually leave after most of the others have gone. We had a couple of inspectors that were driving out, right before I did. I saw them driving out the gate as I parked my company vehicle to get into my car in the parking lot.

As I drove out and went around the first bend in the road, I saw the two SUV's parked in the middle of the road. I couldn't drive around them, and tried to figure out why they were parked. At leas they still had motors running and lights on.

I waited about two minutes, and then blinked my headlights on them, as I was guessing they didn't know I was right behind them. Finally they drive on, but, very slowly.

When they got to the main highway, they made a left toward town, and it was then I noticed there were about six to eight vehicles parked on both sides of the highway, headlights on. I thought maybe there was an accident or something.

I noticed a couple of people standing outside of a couple of the vehicles, looking up at an angle at the sky.

As I made the right turn onto the highway, I looked up and saw a huge UFO just sitting there, maybe 150 feet above the highway. I kept driving as I stared at it. It actually resembled the shape of a very large killer whale, the way it was shaped. It then started to move, slowly at first, doing a full circle swoop then flew away, and was gone in a few seconds.

I told a friend of mine at work the next day and he said it was probably just a blimp or balloon. Then, a couple of days later, that same friend said he saw on the local city news that people in the viewing area on that night were calling in reporting seeing a large UFO.

A representative from a nearby airforce base told the local news that they were experimenting with some sort of aircraft, that night, and that's probably what everyone was seeing.

I never believed in UFO's before, which I guess was quite strange since I believe in just about everything else. My experience with an UFO will never leave me.
It was late, I was waiting for a bus (about 10-12 years ago) looking at the stars, as I'm a big star gazer. I was staring at what I thought was a bright star. Let's bare in mind that it was a clear night, it wasn't raining there wasn't loads of aeroplanes or helicopters in the air. It was a beautiful clear night and all of a sudden this 'star' or at least what I thought was a star started slowing moving to left. It then stopped then slowly changed its direction to what I can only describe as gliding to the right slowly but in a straight line. Then again it stopped went slightly to the left then jetted off to the right as if it went into warp mode. I hope this doesn't sound stupid but the only way I can describe it is when star trek go into warp mode! that is exactly what it looked like. I've always wondered if it only moved because it noticed I was watching it. There wasn't any time lapse or anything like that for me. it just left me startled as I know it was a UFO.

Cool experiences guys.

One summer night a decade ago, I was sitting outside to do a bit of stargazing. When I saw a white dot that looked just like the surrounding stars begin to move, I just assumed it was a satellite. But then when it got overhead, it turned blue, followed by green, then back to white. At this point, it shot into the distance like a ship on Star Trek and was gone.

I've seen two UFOs, maybe four years ago.

One got my attention by zigging and zagging in an area. I thought it was a satellite so I got binoculars for a better look. It looked like a spider. This was at night.

The other I saw was a bright white light, moving slower than an airplane. Another, smaller faster light, joined it and went in a circling pattern. I got the binoculars again and the big white light was rectangular with blue, red and white light covering the entire rectangle. I couldn't see anything else. I couldn't see what the smaller light was but from the way it moved, it could only be a military jet. This too was at night.

A third one I didn't see but heard in the early morning. I was visiting mom, so I spent the night at her place. I was in the bathroom when I heard a bunch of beeping (similar to the UFO in Close Encounters of the Third Kind movie) above the house. A chopper flew with it which was really loud and close to the house. It just about rattled the windows. The chopper didn't really drown out the beeping from the UFO.

I never saw one, it would be fun if I did. I believe other life does exist.

My "spidey senses" are tingling guys.....When they speak I now listen. They've gotten way sharper in the last year. Only when I read some of the posts.

There is one currently in the sky over the midwest. It's been there for almost 20 minutes now, lingering and making circles and zig zags

Where in the Midwest? I live on lake Michigan there have been reports of UFOs and other weird stuff over the lake. I often gaze over the lake at night for the beautiful night sky but haven't seen anything that couldn't be explained. Well except for a ghost ship but that's a different thread.

I saw a UFO. It was a silvery disc shaped object 25 or 30 feet long and about 12 to 15 foot thick. It had rectangle rotating panels of different colored lights at the bottom of it. I observed it for about a minute, at a range of about 100 yard. Around 8:30 pm one summer. It wasn't fully dark out side yet, and the object was very luminescent, especially the rotating panels of light at the bottom. It moved slowly over a part time spring, that fed a small pond. I could see it clearly. It had no propellers, jets or any other thing else that I could call a propulsion system. I could hear crickets and frogs, but no sound from that thing. Then it just shrunk down to a tiny pin point of light and disappeared. It happened so fast, I don't know if it accelerated away or actually shrank down and disappeared. But it was gone in the blink of eye.

Missouri. Some reaosn all od the stars look like theyre moving when i actually look at them. It's strange

This was almost two years ago...saw movement in the sky on a clear night, thought it was a plane until it suddenly disappeared. Don’t know what it was...
