I've been outside one day a while back looking up at the stars. After a long time of looking at 'the usual', I caught a glimpse of what looked like a 'star' that was changing from white, blue and green and pulsating slightly and focused on it. You could barely tell but it would get dimmer and brighter dimmer brighter and it seemed much brighter than surrounding stars which is what got my attention on it in the first place. Watching it for a few minutes it zigs to the left super fast, stops for a brief second, zagged back to the right, stopped, then shot upwards real fast like it was leaving the earths orbit and disappeared into the back drop of the stars.
It wasn't anything I could explain or had ever seen before. The speed with which it moved across the sky in an instant and stopped on a dime tells me it was no man made craft and that it had to be under some kind of intelligent control.
Late 1970s, on the peninsula that juts out from the LA area in Southern California. Broad daylight. I was the passenger in a car driven by a friend. It was a bright reflective area. I compare it to a mylar balloon, though those were not widely available then the way they are now. It hovered in place. I couldn't even begin to tell how large or small it was, or even where it was relative to me, other than at least a mile away.
In my mind, I had thoughts along the line of, "wow, this is just the kind of thing that Liz and I would be excited to see." But I was unable to speak or even try to speak.
Some moments later, we were miles up the road. Liz said, "I thought I saw a UFO back there and I don't know why I couldn't point it out to you."
I said, "Yeah, same thing happened to me."

1996 California somewhere near Diego, I walked out of my hotel room and saw what looked like the heavens opening up. Middle of the night and there is just a huge crack in the middle of the sky leading to daylight? Not a UFO but definitely struck me as something alien.

Not a UFO but once when I was really really drunk I passed out on a park bench a good hours drive from home, I distinctly remember passing out thinking "dont worry about it, work it out when your sober", I also didnt have a set of keys that night and didnt feel like climbing the balcony wasted.
But then I woke up in my bed at home with no idea how I got there.
1\ Aliens
2\ helpful kidnappers ?
3\ Somehow woke up got home and forgot about it, but none of my money was missing ? 3\

I saw one when I was 8 years old, it was just casually sitting in the sky around an hour before sunset.

I was out at Stockton lake in Missouri with my dad for a bit of very early morning catfishing. We weren't catching a dann thing so we decided to do a bit of star gazing. We had picked out multiple satellites zipping around and unfocusing your eyes you could easily see three at a time. Finally the first light started to peek above the horizon and I remember it vividly like a ball of plasma (most of my memories of sunrises aren't nearly so vivid). So there's this huge contrast of empty space and a sliver of molten yellow and we start tracking another seemingly larger satellite heading right towards the rising sun. Its trajectory seemed to shallow out and run nearly parallel to the horizon. Then it caught the light of the sun and lit up like a ball of fire in the sky. I thought I was witnessing a satellite in orbit in the perfect position to reflect first light right into our eyeballs. But I will never forget what happened next. It SLOWED DOWN once it was directly inside the sunrise and instead of passing over the horizon it leveled out and passed behind the trees, still reflecting all that light. What was probably 10-15 seconds felt like an eternity watching it sail above and then behind the trees. After it was gone I looked at my dad and asked "What was that?" and he kept staring at the sky, then said "Were not catching anything, lets go back."
