Have you seen an Unidentified Flying Object?

Thankyou jetflock and mojoforsale, interesting how we all have the sense of wanting to get these types of stories out for some reason, noone here on the site has posted anything that seems to be a ploy to draw attention to themselves in an ego gratifing way or just tooting their own horn. Again I will say thankyou for your contributions they fit right in. Perhaps if we can compile our own information and disclose what we know, we can begin to understand why some of us have this and others do not. I mean look at the huge amounts of astronomers that have seen nothing. And then there are Astronauts traveling in the same skies that do see. Antar

John Lear told me once in a post that
"Perhaps it is on an individual basis". And though a simple awnser it held volumes of truth for me. I would love for John to come over and tell us his story, because I for one know that he has experienced something.

A quick side note to my sighting which may or may not be relevant.

I have never seen video or photos,(blurry or clear) or heck even descriptions of the type of craft
I saw....the closest thing to it was the very first reported sighting by pilot by
Kenneth Arnold ...

This is very close to what we witnessed that morning...a VERY un-common UFO
type...anyone have any thoughts on this?

yeah, i have seen the ufos, too.
3 times in my hometown.
one time in france at the beach.
equals 4 ufo-sightings including 7 ufos.

you can look up my sightings here:

ps: i think there was another sighting, too. but i´m not sure about it.
was a silver hovering disc / light and at some point it descended down slowly (when i stopped), and it looked like it was chasing me while i was driving.

Ien1ightened. That is a spectacular sighting, it really is life changing when something like this happens. And from that point on you begin to seek out people of similar experience.You were very fortunate to have had such an up close encounter.Tell me did you ever get the feeling that you were observing something that you were not supposed to see, or did you somehow feel like it was in a sense familiar? What was the gut instinct about it, did you feel like telling the world or did you feel like I d better stay quiet?

i talked to someone in berlin. she described exactly this shape to me.
she used to live in an area where lots of planes would go through and she
said that she had never seen anything like it before.

I'll participate in hopes someone can help out on my 2nd sighting because it defies logic as I know it.

1971 - Southwest West Virginia (Coal Country). Myself, my sister, my mother, my grandmother, my aunt. Broad daylight. Not a cloud in the sky. Silver/stainless steel looking disc with like an upside down bowl on the top. No wings. No discernable windows. No lights. No sound. We all watched it for a couple minutes it didn't move - just sat there. Ran off to play - 10/15 minutes later my aunt told me to go back outside and see if it was still there. It was still there in the same spot. On my own went back out maybe 15 minutes later and it was gone. We told my dad and Grandpa when they got back to the house. We didn't report it. My grandma didn't have indoor plumbing at the time, let alone a phone. I was 6 years old.

Obviously this could have been a military project of some sort, but 35 years have passed and this particular craft isn't gracing our skies.

1983 - Extreme eatern Kentucky (Coal Country) Myself & my stepsister. 11:00 p.m. at night up a hollow waiting for a cab. A hollow contains a wide path up between two mountains. It had snowed but was very clear and the stars were out. One star was brighter than the others. I pointed it out to my step-sister. She starts looking for something in her purse. The star started moving down from it's position and slightly to our left until it was traveling the top of the mountain on our left. It moved mabye 15 or 20 mph. I told her the star was moving and we both watched it until our heads couldn't turn to the left no more and it started coming down the mountain. It started down the mountain towards us. Frightened we both ran screaming inside the house. My dad and stepmom came out and we couldn't find it. It never changed shape, it never changed color and it never changed size

This "star" had intelligence of some sort, wheather real or artificial we don't know. I was 17.

No sightings since then.

Myrtales, sounds like its time for another one in the near future. Why did you feel threatened? And would you go running screaming now? What was your parents take on the whole UFO phenomenon?

I've sleep under the stars many of nights, In the town of Lucerne Valley California. The nights are very clear and stars are so bright its breath taking. I can't say that I've ever seen a U.F.O and have but don'tthat they are there. I did see some stars move... 3 Stationary stars verging on a single star. Crazy sounding right, well I can't explain it but thats the closest to a UFO for me. I see videos for the most part, most look like fakes but what do I know I've never seen a real one lol. I'll keep looking.

antar - I was just young and what I saw really scared me. It wasn't normal.

If it happened today I believe I could stand there and see what unfolds because I realize what I let pass by.

antar, it is very interesting how you put that....YES I distinctly had the feeling
that we were seeing something we were not meant to see. Gut instinct, this mind boggling craft was NOT "man made"... and that, yes I wanted to tell the world and find people whom have shared similar experiences but that I better keep quiet about it.


And finally, I had the opposite feeling of this thing being familiar...it was so exotic, bathed it what looked like green fire, yet you could see the shiny metal beneath this corona effect. It was a life changing experience and I do feel privileged to have seen something like this so close...it wasnt a little dot in the sky...this thing was right in my face!

Great thread you have started here, I appreciate it, being that I have never spoken about this incident to anyone but family and close friends. It was so surreal that had another person not been there I would question my sanity.
Truly amazing.

in the post I made on page 1 of this thread I mentioned the large cream coloured disc that i saw Ive looked all over the web for the same type of ufo and the nearest I can get is a plasma craft which some debunkers seem to think is a natural phenomena, but how can it be, the one I saw flew in perfectly level flight and at a fast speed and although not metalic it still seemed kind of solid, not gaseous like I imagine plasma to be and it was huge, for the life of me I wish I had recorded the date of the sighting so that I could try to find if others had witnessed it (I didn't have the Internet then) has anyone ever seen this type of UFO behaving in the same way most other sightings seem to discs and orbs

Thats exactly what I seen when I was a child. Out of all the billions of stars in the night sky, I was able to find one in particular that was not what it appeared to be, meaning it was only disguised as a star in the sky.
It moved when I did, It would descend and the ascend. It was hard to tell if it was following me or watching over me.
It was my older brothers fault that I ended up on a dark street, by myself at nearly midnight when was 10 years old in a fairly bad part of town.
I had to walk the few blocks by myself to get to my grandmas and this UFO/Star seemed to follow me all the way to the front door before disappearing, I still remember following the led sized light across the night sky untill it goes behind a light pole and never came out the other side.

to be honest though Kronos the one you saw dos'nt quite sound the same as the one I saw it was as large as a say a dinner plate held up at arms length it never appeared like a star just a disc shape flying diagonally across my yard the same as if a light aircraft did a fast fly by at low level

Antar, thanks for this fascinating thread! I replied above, but was thinking later, I've had different reactions to different sightings. All happened in Arkansas, at night and the skies were clear.

1. Appx 1966, The only thing I remember is my parents and uncle watching something in the sky, my mom says it looked loke a big spotlight with no sound, moving back and forth. All I remember is being terrified and running back in the house to check on my younger brother.

2. 1992, with my ex husband saw a triangle shaped craft, very shiny hovering over a nearby house, at this time we were awestruck more than anything, a feeling of seeing something not of this world, no fear at all.

3. 1995 with my ex and our 3 year old son, we saw a star-like light that followed our car down a crooked highway, it went across the road in front of the car and turned into 3 huge lights in a triangular shape and hovered in a field, this time I was terrified again and trying to get my ex to floor it and get out of there, he didn't seem to be afraid at all. I guess my biggest fear was for our son, I was freaking out.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else had had these different reactions if they've had more than one sighting. I also wonder also if my concern for my brother and my son was what caused the fear on the first and third event, or if the second sighting was actually a more of a non threatening craft. (I hope everyond understands what I'm trying to say.)

My Mom had an experience driving down an old hwy in Arizona towards California that sounds much like a few that have been described here. In short she witnessed a stationary light that did not go down over the horizon with the other stars, she figured it was a sattallite but kept an eye on it. She drove for an hour or so and then decided to stop and make a pit stop on the side of the road. When she stepped out of the car, she was looking directly at the object and 3 red lights came flying out of it and began dancing around the first. Amazed and unafraid she watched as the 3 red dots became 5. She watched for a while then got back in her car and watched the lights until her turn finally arrived. This was one that stuck with her strongly and always felt personal.

I have seen 4, possibly 5 different Ufos here in PHX. Starting with PHX lights "craft" 10 years ago. And most recently one last week.

Bigdaddyftr, could you please describe what you saw last week? Was it the same as the phoenix lights? Do you suspect it could have been covert military craft or off world? I ask because I do suspect that in the phoenix area there have been test flights of military reverse engineered craft.

I had to reply to this one and throw in my two cents....


When I was about sixteen I was on a golfcourse at night when I looked up & flying directly over my head were a formation of approx 14 disc shaped craft, flying in a triangular formation.

On the underbelly of each disc were a pattern of three ringed lights, one ring on the outside, one inner ring and a further circle making the centre of the underbelly. These rings flashed on and off in sequence and yet out of sequence with each other. As far as i can remember the colours were green, blue & purple.

The formation moved slowly and without sound (totally calm, clear and warm summer's night) I noticed as they passed overhead they were ever so slightly bobbing or swaying from side to side.

Behind the main triangular formation were another two of the same craft that were following the rest, these two were constantly zig-zagging in and round each other at incredible speed and agility while all the time following the main formation at the same speed (ie never overtaking or lagging behind)

I watched these craft as they moved off toward away from me and heading over a bay and into the distance. As they moved away from me they were low enough that when viewed at an angle a silver dome could be seen atop of each craft, glinting off the starlight. (this indicates the height)


I was the only witness to this sighting, I can remember there being reports in the press of stange lights being seen in the skies that night and apprantly it was mentioned on a radio phone in show I was told later.

This took place over 10 years ago and since then i have been hooked!! (sadly no other sightings, a few false alarms but nothing concrete)

Everyone I tell the story to scoffs at me (unsurprisingly) although after 10 years of solidly sticking to my story one or two of my friends are starting to accept I seen "something"

One a last note, several years later I was watching a TV documentary on UFO's when during a montage of different footage a video segment silmilar to the UFO's I had seen popped up on screen, I nearly jumped out of my seat!!

It was taken from a side angle, disc shaped craft silver dome on top and you could see the glare from flashing green, blue & purple lights emitting from the underbelly!!

Weird huh??

I seen this thread and felt compelled to post, if anyone has seen something similar post back because I never had it verified and generally keep it to myself.

Thanks for your time

Well, it did happen about 20 years ago but thats the way I remember it. It did appear to be larger than a common star we would see at night, maybe closer to the size of what Jupiter would look like or maybe even Venus but it was definately moving and almost certainly seemed to be following me. You have to remember, 20 years ago we didnt have the internet, there were no TV Shows like "UFO FILES" so they only exposure to UFO information that we had was any books you may find at the library or Movies like Close Encounters lol.
Now, a few years after that my mother and her sister had an experience that was much more realistic and closer to what my be considered as an abduction because she had some what would be called "lost time"
Her and her sister were driving to my grandparents on Thanksgiving sometime in the later part of the 70s.
They left her sisters home to come to where we were to eat turkeyand they saw the UFO hovering over their car just after dark.
They showed up finally about 2 hours later, not realizing that they were late.
As far as they were concerned, they were driving along, saw this object in the sky and continued on with what shouldve been a 20 min drive that turned into almost a 3 hour experience.
I should mention that my mom sees things that are supernatural on a regular bases and would never lie about something like that.
She used to manage property and would sometimes clean the properties between rentals. One rental in particular had a regular "visitor" as she called it. Claims it was the ghost of an elderly lady that had at one time owned the house but did not die there apparantly lol..

Hi Everyone, I’m Mike.

I have been on this board for a while, watching, reading and lurking in the background and finally decided to join.

I seen another UFO 3 nights ago, over here in Ireland. I say “another” as to the original poster, I have seen several in my life (22 yrs old now) when I was younger (7 – 10 years old) over those 3 years I seen a lot of lights and things in the sky that terrified me, so much that my parents took me to counselling because I wouldn’t sleep and I kept saying “the lights where coming to get me”. Maybe I was just a crazy child with a big imagination, lol who knows, but over the years on and off I have seen a few UFO’s, even when I have lived in different countries (grew up in Ireland & Australia), some of them have been witnessed by other people too, and one that I even seen when I was a child was in the local paper the next day about several people seeing it.

Anyway, what I started with, 3 nights ago I seen one, which I have seen a few times over the past few weeks, it comes, it disappears and re-appears, it moves or stays in the same spot

Now, before anyone shouts out “why haven’t you ever taken a pic” I guess I have never bothered, but 3 nights ago when it came, I started to get afraid again (haven’t been for ages) and I sat at my window and watch it, it disappeared and I got into bed terrified again, about 20 min later I looked out the window and it was back, so I decided to run and grab my camera and took pics of it. So I have got the pics, Now I have no idea how to post it on here, and also, I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up, all it looks like is a light in the sky, nothing special.

It wasn’t a star, as there where lots of stars around it, looked nothing like it, wasn’t a plane – it stayed in the same spot for ages, moved after a while, disappeared, re-appeared. Plus I work in the Airline industry, and it wasn’t a plane. It wasn’t the moon either, LOL… and pretty sure it wasn’t a planet as I think one of the planets is visual at the moment, but that can be seen in a different part of the sky, plus they way this thing was disappearing and re-appearing, it was not a planet.

Before 4 weeks ago, I guess it has been about 3 years since I have seen anything like a UFO or strange, It started happening again about 4 weeks ago, I was on a flight from Dublin to Sweden, as we where over Denmark I was looking out the window and there was something strange in the sky, it looked like the shape of a blimp, black, but as high as the aircraft (about 35000ft at the time) and a good few km away from the plane, it was just there in the air, then it started moving up and down, then the thing changed shape, (it looked like a cloud of smoke changing shape), it was changing shape to look like a Blimp, a Disk and then a long object. I told my Partner sitting next to me (who is sceptical and doesn’t believe in UFO’s and things like that) and couldn’t believe his eye’s at what he was seeing, it kept changing shape going up and down and then after about few min it was gone – some other passengers seen it to. Then 2 weeks ago I was on a flight from Dublin to Spain and I was not at the window, but the 2 passengers next to me where talking about something they just seen out the window, I overheard and was asking them about it and they described it, it was the exact same thing I seen on the flight to Sweden (I didn’t see this one). Then last week that Light that I described above has started showing up.

What do you guys think? Any ideas on them?

Well that’s my little post.

Mike.
