I seen a UFO last night.

[Starfirebird]

First off, it's been a while since I've been on here,but this was so crazy I had to come here and share my experience.

Last night after me and my girlfriend had a fight I had to clear my head,so I went for a drive.I was on the road from 1:00 AM to about 2:15 AM.

I'm pretty much the only soul on the road and I'm listening to my 70's and early 80's rock.It helps me to clear my mind.After driving for an hour I'm on my way back home and then all of a sudden I see this green oval like light go from down to up.It was gone within seconds of me seeing it.It didn't come from the ground either,it was already pretty high in the sky,I guess you could say cloud level.It was quite large as well.If I would have to guess it was probably as big as a football stadium or bigger.

What was weird though is when I seen this I had an overwhelming feeling of happiness come over me and I teared up a bit.I don't know if it was just because I seen this and it was excitement coming over me or if the light effected me in some way.All I know is I'm pretty certain what I seen was a UFO.

Do you or do you not have a mullet?

Some may say you're crazy. However, I do believe you. I've seen “UFOs” twice. The first time was maybe 10 years back in time. I still remember it as clear as ever. The one thing is, though, the ones I saw had blue lights around them, and not green.

Have you reported your sight to the UFOINFO?

 

[nobuffalo]

Were you guys fighting because you took her half of the sunshine acid?

Just kidding. I'm an X-Files fan, I want to believe, just gotta see it first hand.

Did you identify it? If not, then by definition it's an Unidentified Flying Object.

Mind you, if it was lit up, chances are it wasn't an object at all. What idiots would travel multiple lightyears only to give themselves away with a fully illuminated aircraft?

 

[Encyclopedia]

Sounds like a cool experience.

Any flying object that you can't identify is a UFO by the way.

 

[Solid Lifters]

Just swamp gas. Nothing more to see here!

I find stories about UFOs fascinating. Disregarding the whole alien thing I think that trying to discover the identity of something mysterious can be exciting and fun. 👍

Okay, so while I've never seen one, nor do I think I ever will, it does sound like a plausible thing, you're meaning to tell me that in the whooooooole universe, we are the only living breathing lifeforms, and if not, that we are the most technologically advanced of them all?

While it's just about a certainty that we are not the only planet with life in the entire universe and highly likely we're not the most advanced species, the universe is massive. The likelihood of a species sufficiently advanced to have developed interstellar travel being close enough to Earth and aware enough of it to want to fly to it is tiny. The odds of them doing so just for the reason of buzzing a random dude somewhere in middle America and sodding off again is quite a great deal smaller.

In fact it's less likely than winning the lottery. Thirty seven times. In a row. With the same numbers.

 

[Monatsende]

I don`t get it why 90% (or more) of all UFO sightings are in the USA - mostly at country sides. Not like the aliens would find it more interesting to have a look at New York City or big metropolises outside the USA like Tokyo, Mexico-City, London, Kairo, Mumbai, Sao Paolo, Seoul, Moskow, Shanghai, Istanbul... No, the US country side is more attractive to them aliens who crossed space by billions of lightyears just to examine a US farmers truck or his wife.

"Saw".

I do believe that he's from Tennessee, but that's about it.

I'm sure you saw something, and I'm sure people do witness UFOs. I'm just not convinced that they are spaceships. They are probably top secret craft, or maybe angels.

Why the assumption that because one does not think UFO's are alien spaceships or that aliens have never visited earth, one thinks they don't exist at all?

Seriously that argument comes up so incredibly often and I don't get how people make the connection.

Thats where I disagree, if I were a highly advanced race / intelligence (now thats a thought!) with the ability of interstellar travel you can bet that I'd send some observation drones to all earth-like planets / planets with actual life on them to collect data and watch life's progress, no matter how insignificant said lifeforms may be.

I mean, why not? I have a hard imagining that good 'ole curiosity is human trait only.

And I've seen quite a few odd things in the night sky too, a lot of so called impostor-stars.

 

[photonrider]

I've seen the 'fast moving light' phenomenon several times (once with my wife when we were taking a midnight walk around a lake - we both saw the exact same movements, light colours, etc.)

Aliens (that fly anyway) are seemingly quite playful.

As for the speed the light moves - incredibly quick - with sudden stops.

 

[88FoxBodyFan]

I saw some UFOs at Wal-Mart last night. Unforgettably Fat Omnivores.

Were you eaten? Or did they think you were distasteful?

We're talking colossal distances.

We've not actually discovered an Earth analog yet. We've found a few planets close to Earth in size or composition or orbit (habitable zone), but nothing that yet hits all the bases. The closest - at 0.74 on the Earth Similarity Index - are Gliese 581c and 581d (maybe 581g too) and they're 20 light years away. A culture would need to have not only mastered interstellar travel but be capable of at least Warp 4 to make that journey sensible (2 months each way). At present levels of technology, the journey would take more than 330,000 years for us, so we're talking about quite the level of technology.

Unmanned probes (at that distance) are a bad idea too. Even at our level of advancement we know that dropping technology into the hands of people 150 years less advanced is extremely bad. There'd need to be "people" on board or nearby to destroy the probes in case of malfunction, so we don't end up with 31st Century equivalent tech and obliterate ourselves accidentally.

Of course as SETI candidates, we've been looking at them for a while and none show any ordered EM emissions that you'd expect of civilisation. So any civilisation that exists on the Gliese worlds is either 200 years less advanced than us or more advanced than us but has managed to mask its EM (having passed through the externally visible EM phase at least 75 years ago) at all levels of its society - not even ham radio - which doesn't sound like the habits of a friendly, extroverted culture to me...


Most UFO sightings are merely unidentified by the observer. The small fraction that have never been explained are just UFOs. The likelihood of any of them actually being alien spacecraft is so infinitessimal as to be "probably zero".

Do you think this might be what you saw:

I've just watched a documentary about Ufo's on TV 1 hour ago.

Saw it on german, here is the original, very high ranked people in it (military, Faa, police,...), probably one of the best documentaries about Ufo's I've seen
Very big scale incidents like : Phoenix /Az lights, Belgium Ufo wave,...
If you have time watch it:



In person, I have witnessed "2" events:
One in Italy in the early 90's. 3 big light spots in a V formation
The other one in Luxemburg in the 2000, a big blue source light in the sky (though that was just a blue metorite as seen here:

"I seen."

You lost me there.

It's interesting really, during the 1950's there were more UFO sightings in the States than in all other locations and all points of time combined. Now, either, there were actually aliens who decided they'd rendezvous around the mid-west chasing jet planes and abducting red necks for sexual experiments and then sod off for 50 years, or it was just paranoia about the 'Commies' and confusion at what were probably experimental aircraft that were kept top secret like many other things by the US Military.

Though I wouldn't completely wipe out the former.

The red dot I use to play with my cat moves incredibly quickly, makes sudden stops and starts, and disappears and reappears seemingly randomly.

The reason we don't see as many now is because these days they only have to get close enough to use our INTERNET. After they login they use "Google Earth" to watch us.
