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

I'v had direct contact with E.T. You can read about it in my Threads.

My first experience was 5 years ago. I'v had a couple other experiences since then but seeing an E.T and it do a bunch of bizare things such as showing abilities and messing with electronics and possibly even time itself.

I was over at a friends house where we had the intention of watching UFOs.

I live in Along the coast of british columbia in a town that is surrounded by mountains in all directions.

What i saw were reappearing disappearing lights that would teleport across the sky during those weeks. I told my friend about it and that's when we saw them come from behind the mountain and scatter flying over the town.

We then heard some sketchy sounds, Saw a shapeshifted E.T. Had no idea it was a shapeshifted E.T. See a saucer. Later see shapeshifted E.T Shapeshift into a humanoid. Humanoid bombs us with psychic emotional telepathy. Walks in alley way. And abducts a baby. Hear loud SHhhh shhhhh shhhh shhhh shhhh wirring sound appear. Fades to distance.

More crazyness ensued. If you are interested in reading about it or me simply scan my threads.

I have not seen one but would enjoy the experience from this.

Yes , 1993 in Margate N.J. . A Hovering Lighted Object in the Sky about 10 Miles from my Location . Two Orbs Exited this seemingly Intelligently Controlled Light from the Bottom of it then proceeded to float through the Sky fluttering like Leaves floating to the ground . After about 3 minutes of doing that they reentered the Lighted Object from the same direction they emerged from and the Lighted Object simply just Disappeared from the sky . I later found out that these Objects were directly over a Military Airport called NAFAC in Atlantic County N.J. . To this day i still cannot believe what I saw , because no conventional Aircraft could possibly fly in such a manner as it had .

look anything like this? but the size of several football fields

I had a strange incident happen a few years ago. It was night time around 11pm and i was staring out a window looking out to a nearby mountain. I saw lights on the mountain, blinking and moving slowly. I figure it was just a car or truck with their brights on. Eventually i didnt see the lights anymore. I sat there and continued to stare out. Then a few minutes later, an object wreathed in blue flame shot down from the sky and crashed into the mountain. Seconds later the first light turned on again and moved to where the object fell. I guess ill never know what it was

I'm a strong skeptic and, yet, I've had a sighting once. In truth, it was merely something I could not explain, nothing more.

Around 10 or so years ago, as I was sitting outside and looking at the night sky, I had that eerie feeling of having the hairs in the back of your neck stand up. Looking to my right, and keeping my eyes in the sky, I saw a bright blueish-white light streak through the sky. The object or thing itself was more or less rectangular in shape and very, very bright. It was extremely fast (imagine the speed of a shooting star) and it seemed to leave behind some sort of condensation/smoke trail, which shone brightly as well (though not as bright as the object itself).

I guess I could describe it as being similar to a "missile" of sorts, if you can imagine it in that way. A second after appearing, and as it was crossing the sky right above me, it simply disappeared, together with the smoke trail. It made no sound, either.

I never knew what it was and while I never truly made an attempt at explaining it to myself, I can't help but wonder what it was.

I've seen several... even the Phoenix Lights. I've uploaded a pic of a recent sighting as well.

I believe. I also believe no one here has indisputably true proof either.

A UFO isn't a UFO anymore once someone figures out what it was...

I've seen dozens I can't explain until later. I've seen a handful that I could never fully explain but did not dwell on it as I had nothing to pull from. Honestly if something can't be identified it seems like an exercise in futility to figure out what it was with no evidence to go on other than a visual memory.

I believe most of the ones I couldn't identify were human in nature, at least I am fairly certain.

Recently this year, in Nikko Japan, a silent HUGE triangle type UFO came from space and slowly made it's way close over our heads until it disappeared over a mountain , witnessed by 2 people at night. Same night Obama came to Tokyo....

Many years ago, a silent disk shaped UFO in San Francisco, shining a cone shaped light on top of a building. Witnessed by 5 people.

Long story, but many years ago my girlfriend and I victim to some kind of visitation in the middle of the night. One of the things we remember, a small machine in my bedroom with different lights on it and hearing a computerized sound that was like a CD skipping. Many other strange things happened too that night and missing time.

That looks like the one we saw in Nikko Japan this year. First it looked tiny as a satellite in space does, then rapidly zoomed over our heads, started moving slow then pivoted and continued on over the mountains.

Quite a few... One of the first and craziest was almost 3 years ago to the day. November 18th, 2011 I walked out my backdoor which faces east toward Riverside, CA about 1.5 miles high, 3 to 6 miles away was a huge jellyfish hovering in the air. It was early evening, still some daylight outside. No clouds. A clear unobstructed view for almost 10 minutes. Without anything in the air next to it to use as a reference, I estimated it to be overall about the size of the LA Coliseum. It was translucent with an orange and pink glow. It had 5 or 6 Octopus type tentacles under it that were wildly and erratically kicking the entire time. It seemed to be necessary for both lift and stability. I do refer to it as a UFO, but it was absolutely a living being. I pulled my neighbor from her apartment to witness it since I had no camera handy and I'm really glad that I did. Because it's one thing to tell people you saw a flying metal disk. It's quite another to say you seen a giant flying Jellyfish. I did report this sighting to Mufon (report #36360). It was absolutely incredible and phenomenal... and it was very real.
I have found a few videos and pics online. And have found related info under the subjects 'atmospheric beasts' and 'air kraken'. Also by searching using these terms and combinations of these terms... jellyfish ufo, jellyfish ovni, flying or sky jellyfish, biological ufo.

I haven't got the chance ever to see anything unexplained in the skies...

I am hoping that will change as I love a good mystery..
I am constantly watching the skies (whenever I can, that is. One does have to work, and it would be rather unsafe to gaze into the clouds during my commutes...)

Here is to hope though..

Three different ones, many years apart. Oddly enough, after seeing those things and not figuring out what the heck they are (thus by definition UFOs), it's made me even more skeptical of most UFOs presented in modern media. Why? It's annoying when there's a lot of obviously fake CGI stuff, and a lot of blurry or long exposure stuff, reflections or chips in window glass, lens flares, and things that resolve to only a few pixels. I figure there's some legit weird stuff out there that would be interesting to look at, but the noise to signal ratio is ridiculously high.

I have had one incredible sighting. It was in the 80's during the wytheville Va flap. I live 30 minutes out wytheville on the WV side. I had no knowledge that a flap was even happening in Wytheville and it wasnt till years and years later while watching unsolved mysteries that I realized my sighting was from this time and not only that someone at the end of the show described the craft I saw. This thing had lights all around it and they blinked around it much like that of Christmas lights in a pattern. Every so often the blinking would stop going one direction and head back the other though the sequence would slow, then sometimes speed up. If the lights are an indication of this thing's size, then it was huge. It seem to just float across the sky neither accelerating or slowing down. I don't understand the lights and why they were there at all. What purpose did they serve? Why the change in direction of the lights? So many colors at least 6 or 7. I wish I knew what this was. I wish I had the equipment to film it back then. It would have filmed well with so many light and the patterns, not your average dot in the sky. not at all. My mother and I jumped in the car followed this thing as far as we could at 2 o'clock in the morning and like I said it just glided and seemed to not care who might see it. I have had no significant sighting since but i will never forget this sighting with my mother, who has since passed away. It showed me in my teenage years that there is something up there, lots of people have seen them and yet we are no closer to knowing who or what they are than we were back then.

Though I have seen a number of odd things in my life, only two cases involved something that defy normal explaination. One was a strange sighting on guard duty, the other an event in my home that was bizarre.

Hey ATS, I will share my 1 and only experience here.

Im a skeptic at heart,
and even though I have seen something that can't explain (in the sky)
I still find it hard to believe others when I hear their personal stories.



I made a short animated video (a few years ago) showing what I saw some 19 years ago.

look anything like this? but the size of several football fields

Yes. Very similar expect lights on each three corners. I wouldn't say it looked several football fields long though.

Yes, once, i was 18 years old living in Fairfield, California just about 10 miles or less from Travis AFB (Only important because, living near this i'm very used to air traffic and different types of planes, although 90% of the traffic seems to come from C-10's) it was early in the morning, like 2-3ish am, and I was being driven home by a couple of friends.

Here's where it gets weird. The driver slams on the breaks, throws it in park, jumps out of the car and starts to walk towards the sidewalk, near a parade float that was parked there for the upcoming parade, she's saying "Wtf is that", i yell "It's a float get back in the car" or something to that effect, about that time me and my friend realize shes looking up. We get out, and see there is a gigantic black triangle over us. I mean this thing was huge, and low. Really couldnt guess what the size was, without a doubt larger than the grounds of the school which is quite large and has about 3-4 thousand students and is only 1 level. Definitely larger than any plane ive ever seen, and ive been inside C-10s. You could've landed a C-10 on it easily I'd guess. Large, black, difficult to see. Had it not been pointed out to me i could've possibly walked underneath it and never noticed it. Made zero noise.

Eventually, it rose high into the sky very slowly, turned on end with the point facing towards space. It was thick, like a piece of cake as opposed to something flat like pizza. Had 3 lights on the base of it evenly spaced one in the middle one towards each edge. It's hard to explain what it looked like it was made out of, almost had a sheen to it like oil but was difficult to see, very stealthy until it turned upwards and the lights were obviously very visible. It flew straight up into the air until it disappeared into space i guess. watched it for around 15 minutes id suppose. Maybe a little longer. Dont remember the exact date, i remember it happened right around the time they found Lacey Peterson's (if anyone remembers that, was national news, the guy that killed his pregnant wife) body because that's what was in the newspaper all week and i was expecting to see "UFO attacks earth" or something lol. It was in 2003, earlier in the year, before summer dont remember what month.

Before this i was indifferent to the UFO thing, never paid any attention to it. After this, I was kind of obsessed with it for a while. Now i just know there's something strange out there but i just dont worry to much about it. I'll probably never know what that thing was.

When i saw the guy on here make the threads about the breakaway civilization and the large triangles though, it definitely made me wonder if thats what i saw.

That must be a Wild thing to witness.I've had many ufo sightings myself,but a sight like that would bowl me over.I'm not unused to strange sights,but i can't even imagine my reaction,if I had to see such a thing.That does sound like some biological/biomechanical life form.a reply to: mrscary3721

I have to say, many things I've seen in the skies are unidentified, but now with the help of my smartphone I have learned many things I saw moving in the sky as a youngster were actually satellites. But one sighting is beyond compare and the reason being is because it never moved.

I one night a few years ago near the fourth of July, was at a friends house drunkenly and wrecklesslu firing off fireworks. After nearly blasting my face off twice and destroying my hearing I saw something just above the treeline about 40 degrees above the horizon. It was an obviously red light that was white in the center. Unmoving it pulsed repeatedly dimming to about half its brightness then back up again. I thought maybe another fireworks show some distance away but then I realized I had been staring at the light for over a minute and it had not moved and continued to pulse between bright and not so bright.

Now I did not think a picture or video from my phone at the time would do anything justice or even be discernable later so I needed my friend to confirm what I was seeing. I asked him to just look at the area, and he saw the same thing, so I knew my drunken eyes weren't deceiving me. We both watched the pulsing light for at least another few minutes as we were frozen in wonderment.

Finally my friend called out that he saw it getting dimmer. As did I, and as this happened the redness of the light intensified as the bright white center dimmed. The point of light grew bigger than any star visually but not by much. Even when it was dimming it still looked larger than any star. But soon as the brightness became less intense and the frequency of the pulse slowed the light was disappearing then reappearing. My only thought had been a released paper lantern, but I've watched those go out and the gutter out at the end with much flickering and no pulse like this one. And the other fact is that the light throughout stayed the same size and maintained position, then finally after the frequency of pulsing slowed it disappeared from view.

Surely to me a UFO. My thoughts are some sort of dying star red shifting as it was consumed by a black hole, or some sort of rudimentary beacon from another solar system or scout ship from another galaxy/dimension or what have you. I leave the rest to you guys because as far as my observations have gone that's the only one I have that I can't actually explain.

Enjoyed reading, and being a part of this thread!!
