10) No
11) 20 - 30 seconds
12) United States American, at least 8 generations
13) No
14) A marine corp base is located about 6 miles away from the location
15) I'm sure there were things happening in the world. I don't recall anything of any particular import.
16) Oh crap. Three years ago, I think. It was my friend's birthday party so it would have been close to April 1.


A strobe. For all intents and purposes directly overhead and stationary. 4,maybe 5 flashes.

First sightings and experiences since childhood and shared with others, both family and friends.

1) What time did you see the UFO?

Evening, after dark roughly 9-11 pm on average.

2) Where do you live(State,Country)?

BC Canada. Okanagan and Fraser Valley.

3) What were you doing at the time of witnessing the UFO?

Different things. Going out in the evening, sky watching and enjoying evening. Driving.

4) Are you a religious/agnostic/atheist? If religious, which faith do you follow?

Ex Catholic and even ex protestant. I am gnostic and free form, inner seeker.

5) Were you alone when witnessing the UFO?

No. Not sure if any of the sitings occurred when I was alone. Childhood ones, no. Driving with a friend, no. And then April 2008, saw it initially and called kids out, it lasted about 5 minutes. Other sitings have shouted and my son at the tv by the glass sliding doors ran out.

6) Have you any mental issues?

No.

7) What was your mood at the moment? (Sad/Happy/Angry.. etc)

For most of them, since 2008, inner joy and greeting. Uplifted happy feeling.

8) Did your hair stand on end or did you get chills when you witnessed the UFO?

No! There was a negative feeling with a cloud shaped ship, that caused me to hurry in the house.

9) What did the UFO look like?

The one that I was present for as a young child, 3, at my grandfather's campsite, don't remember, but everyone else did. We were all outside and I recall a strange night with strange shadows on the ground. A whole crowd saw this light zigzag across the sky, then two smaller items left it and they zigzagged across the sky. The one in the 80's driving with a friend, it looked a small jet, and was soundless, nose dived to the ground, then righted itself. I thought we were going to die and something was crashing and told my friend to drive but she was in a daze, almost in a trance. Finally she drove and it followed us at about 12-20 feet above the ground matching our speed and then disappeared with the corners and hill.

The ones we saw 2008 were mostly a red lit object that would be about 30 feet in diameter or 40. It would hover, and also fly slowly on other sightings, and soundlessly. It greeted me internally, "Don't go in yet, we haven't greeted you yet!" Appeared out of no where. I yelled for my son. It flew soundlessly over the house. He said it was saucer under the light. The 2008 time, April, there was a similar report of the same red lit object from someone near where we lived, driving down the hwy, and when they pulled over it was saucer.

There were other crafts, one was a light ship that had giant long round cylandars hugging the side of the craft which was huge an wedge shaped, whiter than white, and it appeared, flew forward and vanished. Another greeting, "I'm going to greet you right up close" and a wedge of whitish yellow almost lopsided pyramid went over the roof at about 50 feet soundlessly, just a few townhouses down from us. My son said, it appeared like that because it was a wingless plane, ie a cigar shaped one, that was flying tail down, nose in the air.

Another one appeared at the lake my grandmother's house was on, and then flew soundlessly over our heads not too high, low plane height or even lower, maybe 100-200 feet in the air, it is really hard to judge. That was diamond shaped. With friends staying with us for 2 months, strange thing occurred recently. He went outside for a nature break because someone was taking a shower. My friends grandson ran inside to tell his grandmother that the sky was blanked out, there was a large tearshaped cloud overhead. Then he saw a triangular type craft. She had seen it in her minds eye and dismissed it and gone to sleep, he woke her and she was shocked. Next morning, the cloud was still there. This is a town called, the meeting of winds, and no large body of cloud hangs over your house all night and several hours. So I went to the window to examine it. I saw a black triangle, with the back corners curved down under.

Didn't feel positive.

10) Did the UFO feel like it was directly responding to you and your actions?

Yes!

11) How long did you maintain vision of this object?

Up to 5 minutes for the red lit one. And several minutes for several of them.

12) What is your ethnicity?

Norwegian, English/Jewish, Scottish, Irish, and northern European mix.


13) Was there any big event happening within your area? Or event that had happened?

No.

14) Was there any military movement at your place? Before or After

Yes. Black triangles, twice showed up. My kids including my 17 year old son, the one who often came out for the sitings, called me out to witness it. It was not soundless, made a kind of rotational hum, and went directly over our roof at about maybe 50 feet. Felt it was bullying us. The second time it had multicolor lights along the edges and joined up with twin planes that would come out in pairs, fly around out back, then leave, and two more would show up.

One time when my son called me out for the siting of the red lit craft, that we had seen earlier, and about 30-45 minutes later it returned, and a black chopper showed up. My son had been telling me that the chopper had showed up several times and for some reason I ignored it. We watched the chopper chase the craft. Then we had surveillance, cars following even police, and a big trailer parked out across the street when we moved.

15) Was there any events world wide happening on that day?

No! They were the wake up team.

16) What was the date? Childhood one when I was 3, then 80's. Then my brothers in 90's. This first experience more recent years was April 2008. Chilliwack BC.

Chances are if Aliens were visiting this planet they would do it covertly , we shouldn't expect to see them.

No, actually they come right out in front of everybody. But if there is a glowing ball of light hovering over the city, not even one person will think it is them. Even if it is a glowing pulsating light flying over the city faster than a plane, maybe one, two, or three people would notice. However when i saw my first one it was up on youtube from two different sources in two different parts of the city.

I've had 9 experiences.

25% day, 75% Night.

One chased me through the desert when I took a wrong turn driving through the Arizona desert 11:30 AT NIGHT.

Scariest event I've ever been through. Literally barely made it out alive. Meaning, attempted abduction.

Alright, this thread is a bit different. All I see are threads about speculations, stories, ideology, and hoaxes. The purpose of this thread will be for us to try and conduct a study of some sort. Hopefully, we'll be able to bunch a bit of data together and come up successfully with some results. What we're looking for are common factors between person views.

What are the desired results?
Trying to find common grounds which can be reproduced to one day give us a better understanding and who knows maybe actual proof of what we've all assumed for so very long.


It's a simple thing to do. Have you ever seen a UFO? Can you remember the details vividly? If you can just answer the questions below. If you can't answer them all, then answer the few that you can. If anyone has any other suggested questions which they may be interested to find out about they can post it and i'll add it in.

1) What time did you see the UFO?
2) Where do you live(State,Country)?
3) What were you doing at the time of witnessing the UFO?

Post the story as well if you'd like so people can pull more details from it and you can also include answers to questions that may have not been asked here to supplement details.

Let's find the common factors we can and lets see if we can possibly one day 'control' or figure out a pattern for the sightings

How do you guys do that cool thing where you split up all the questions individually? Just write quote before each?

14. Military? Not that I could see.

1) Shortly after nightfall
2) TMI
3) Walking with an acquaintance
4) Was Christian, now a Nazarene. (Nazarenes were the first Jewish Christians, they were the foundation and you would not even have Gnosticism or Christianity if it weren't for them)
5) No
6) Uh, yeah? lol
7) Fear
8) Yes
9) An orange ball of fire
10) I know for sure it responded to me because I forgot about it and that is not possible that I would instantly forget about it being that I muttered "that is a real UFO because they disappear like that." If it did not make me forget about it I would have started investigating immediately. It also created the fear inside of me, there is more to that.
11) 20 seconds
12) White
13) There is a real wave happening, like the ones we have all heard about, like in the 70s or 50s
14) Yes but not because of the UFOs
15) No
16) TMI

By the way, I wonder how many of us were once Christian, and later changed to Gnosticism, or Nazarene such as myself. That is an interesting aspect since I have seen this matching.

1. About 11pm
2. Scotland
3. Driving home coming up to a junction where there is a roundabout (circle)
4 . Christian, protestant
5. I was alone in my car, but another driver at the roundabout saw it too, he looked at me before we drove off after seeing it
6. No
7. Suprised fascinated, a bit shocked but calm
8. No just a bit suprised
9. Black metallic wedge shaped, slightly bigger than a military plane, small white lights illuminating along the sides, totally silent flying low down, about 60-80feet off the ground, skimming top of trees on the roundabout. No other lights, definitely not one of ours. Absolutely silent, not after noise. Slow Moving relatively at about 40mph (my estimate)
10. No it just flew away, following the road. I rather suspected that it may have had something to do with the guided missile systems being made in the factory just up that road about 1/2 a mile away. But that is just a guess
11. I saw it as I approached the roundabout, the road I was travelling on sloped down towards it, I'd say just a few seconds as it slipped past skimming the trees and disappeared up the road. I stopped at the junction, so did the other driver who was approaching from another road, he stopped too. We both looked at each other - I could see that he was just as astounded as I was at what we'd just seen.
12. White Scottish
13.No
14. No
15. Not that I remember
16. November 1997 or 1998 sorry can't remember exactly

Yes just once and I expect never again will I see one. I was 16yo and at Stanford University for a pre-law nerdy summer camp (I'm 30 now). I am from Los Angeles and noticed how many more stars there were in the sky there and the first night I spent staring at the nights sky in amazement and that's when I saw two lights that were like stars but they were moving at incredible speeds at what looked to me at the time as a great distance away.

They moved in sync with each other doing quick circle maneuvers and it almost looked like a dance and I watched them for five of the longest minutes of my life because I have never forgotten this experience. And then which confirmed to me they were in fact UFOs and not say fire flies or falling stars, they both in synchronized way sped across the nights sky so fast they left a tail similar to that of a computer mouse icon when you rapidly move the mouse. And they crossed the horizon of my view in what seemed like a millisecond and were gone forever.

No one was with me it was very late at night by that time and lasted just five mesmerizing minutes.

I hear people talk about it, but I saw a UFO once it was a drone it was flying all around kennedy space center at night after dark.
