Poll for all members (skeptics, debunkers, and believers) of ATS: Have you ever had a UFO sighting?

I Once Saw A Chariot Manned By A Super Strength Being. It Was Pulled By Two Stallions.
In The Charioteer's Right Hand Was A Lightning Bolt. He Traveled West To East. Upon Arriving To The East.... He Was Met By The Moon. Who Dispersed The Clouds And Fashioned Into A Veil That Hindered My Curiosity. It Was Too Good To Be True. I Don't Tell People That Story. They're Not Believers.

note: Ancient Styled Chariot.

Several.

The most unbelievable sighting was shared with my brother in the middle of the day! We we're traveling east bound on highway 580CA towards Livermore. Between Livermore and Tracy, Ca there is an upward climb through the Altamont Pass. Hills surrounding the pass are littered with energy producing windmills and interestingly, Lawrence Livermore Labs are located right before you go up the hill. I noticed an object to the left on the horizon floating above the windmills. It wasn't hard to see as it was like a cellphone laying flat in the sky with an incredible length. I would approximate it to be at least 100m!! My brother and I pulled over and just stared at it mouths initially wide open, and then asked each other whether we are both seeing this. As soon as we confirmed what we were mutually seeing, this object took off left so fast, it was as if it warped out of existence! I get chills even know just recalling the experience!

My brother and I had that wtf talk, and then we were mostly silent...for miles. Really blew our minds.

I've had two definite sightings and one sketchy sighting.

I've seen a couple in my 31 years on this round egg or flat disk spinning in the universe/ quantum computer simulation.

Once while I was camping we were star watching from a cliff on a clearing for high tension power lines. It says a very clear night near Coopers Rock WV.
A friend of mine points out a small light what seems at a high altitude. It's not much brighter than a dim star. But it's moving along at a consistent pace, but quite quickly for what I thought might be a satellite or space station.
I pull out my phone and load up Google Sky map to try and rule out it being unidentified. Double checking my position using my compass I'm not finding anything conclusive. I realize there are at least dozens of satellites that the public is not aware of and might be as easy to locate. Well at least for me. I dismiss it to my friend " I dunno it could be anything but I'm not sure what it is"
Then a moment later it slows and comes to a stop high in the sky to the right of us. We are excited at this point but it's hard to stay focused on such a small dim light mixed in with so many stars. But then I shoots off again 90°south of its original path. No bright flashes buy it picks up speed very quickly before it disappears over the horizon.

My other time was brief, I was out taking the dog out before bed and saw a brief flash shining through a thin spot in the cloud cover. The moon was pretty bright behind the clouds buy not in the same direction as this flash. I rush into the house to get my wife "You need to see this if it happens again! Get your butt outside so I know I'm not crazy"
My wife being somewhat of a skeptic rolls her eyes at me (this isn't the first time I've done this only later to be mistaken minutes later when the bright front light of a plane reveals its wing lights coming closer of the house)

She reluctantly follows me outside as I'm describing what I saw and point when to look as it happens again right in front of both of us. "PLEASE TELL ME YOU F****NG SAW THAT!!" she is silent.... A minute later it happens again but this time there are two lights both white. She mutters under her breath "I saw both of those". We waited for about another 20 minutes but nothing else came of it.

2014 I think...or 2013. Midyear. Late afternoon. A friend/colleague and I were on a building roofdeck, taking a cigarette break, cup of coffee...

When he notices a silver disk with a circular shape in the middle (a circle within a circle) floating erratically behind a building a couple of blocks from us.

He points it out to me. We observe it dart up and down, left to right, diagonally...very erratic...by this time we were talking frantically trying to rule out possibilities of whati t was...

Me: A balloon?
Him: Too big. No strings. Too fast. Maybe a light reflector? A foil?
Me: No wind. Its flying on its own.

This went on for about three or so minutes before the object disappeared behind a cluster of buildings.

And only then did we ponder whether we really saw a UFO...

I really want to say it's a balloon but it's not.

I have not seen a UFO. Certainly not one I believe to be extraterrestrial that is.

2009 Nov I seen "I worked nights at a trucking company" and wondered the parking lot between dispatch calls, smoking and starwatching.
I Noticed my little cluster of Pleides, not a cloud in the sky, new moon very dark. cool and crisp air.
No Noise, just I-44 just east of Springfield Missouri, I noticed an absence of stars, not a large area, but bigger than a commercial jet. Passed it off, took a few steps and it hit me, WTH was blocking the stars, no lights, no noise directly above me.
I took a double take, took a few secs to relocate it, originally it was moving due north, very slowly "almost motionless" then in the next 30 seconds or so it took a right turn due east, directly following I-44 towards Strafford Missouri,
Fort Wood is 90 miles in that direction, not sure if that is relevant.
The entire episode lasted maybe 5 minutes, I figured balloon, that escaped new car sales dealership.
It was shaped oddly 4 sided, but more of a triangle with an odd angle sliced off one of the corners. Trapezoidal shaped.
That is all I can say, Nothing crazy, no fast take off, no lights, just wrote it off as on of them things I will never know for sure what it was.
No Alien doom porn, just by definition only, it was a UFO to me.

I was east of Highway 65 but could see and hear it "HWY 65" 1/2 mile at most, and about 1/4 south of I-44 "French's and Reckitt and Benkiser" are there, That is the parking lot I was in while watching this. No parking lot lights, very little light pollution, I had a good look, just a matt black "suede" if I had to chose a color/texture

That is it folks, pretty boring, but I will never forget it. I just realized it was directly over Springfield Underground when I first seen it.
There is also an army reserve, parking area only for the guys that do the logistics, truck drivers and transportation troop. It is never active and was not that night. Just a gated off 5-8 acre gravel lot with 10, maybe 25 ton truck or three...I think trailers, and deployable water crossings, is their job, and a few personel carriers, no armory or active G.I.'s just 1 weekend a month they do hot laps and service the trucks for their reserve duty.

It was 2-3am Sat morning

Yes, two for sure and I wasn't the only witness. Mine happened on 2 different occasions 10 years ago. Then months later my wife and daughter saw the same exact thing. Scared my daughter enough that she wouldn't go out at night for weeks after the incident. Then, my neighbors saw the same UFO. It was merely a silent ball of light about 300 ft up or so that slowly moved over our neighborhood and came from the mountains in the distance. We live in Tullahoma, TN. Somewhat of a rural area. I posted my sighting to MUFON in 2009.

I've had 2.

1 was 6 years ago. I was driving from Cleveland to Akron Ohio down route 8. It was night time... and as I was driving, I looked to the right and saw a lighted object hovering in the sky.. over the Cuyahoga Valley. The object just stayed there and didn't move for like 2 minutes. Then.. out of nowhere, it darted at an incomprehensible speed east towards me and the freeway I was driving down. (Route 8). It was much closer now. It was now hovering over the cuyahoga falls area. It once again just stayed there and hovered.. without moving... after about 3 minutes it then took off southwest once again at insane speed and disappeared into the distance. No way was it human. The speed was that you would see on a movie when looking at the flash or something, it was insane.

The other one was about 2 years ago, in Euclid Ohio on Lake Erie. There was a thunder and lightning storm over the lake, and it was night time. My girlfriend and I were sitting on the cliff over looking the lake and the lightning strikes. Suddenly this flying.. something.. with orange and yellow is lights appeared. What was crazy is that it seemed fairly large, it weaved in and out of the clouds and fog over the lake. It was slow. At first my logical thought deduced it must be a rescue helicopter looking for someone in the water or something. However, it was dead silent.. no propeller blades chopping or anything, and it seemed too large to be a helicopter, that and I think it would've been dangerous to fly a helicopter in the clouds and fog with lighting striking. It was so weird, it gave both my girlfriend and I really weird vibes I remember that
