Not very interesting and possibly not even a UFO but I was walking with a friend one night and saw a super bright light above a hill. I just thought "Whatever, it's a plane or something." because it was definitely brighter and larger than any star in the sky.

It was hovering in one spot not moving so I figured it was heading toward me, if it was a plane, and this was accounting for it not changing altitude. Then it just shot downward / behind the hill at like mach 10.

Like I said, probably not even a UFO and there's likely a perfectly logical explanation for it but it is the closest I've come to seeing a UFO.

see, these are the exact things i feel like several sane people have witnessed but with no other explanation other than..."was that a ufo?"

that's a trip. a few of my friends always tried to get a group of people together to go up to "skinwalker ranch" just for fun. allegedly a bunch of experimental aircraft and stuff like that up there. never been though, so, i couldn't comment on the validity of it. although, i did work with a guy at an airliner who was an ex navy seal and he said he was a pilot and flew experimental aircraft for the navy. he said some of the stuff was very different than normal aircraft..but then again..he could've just been crazy..

A UFO is just an unidentified flying object. So you're asking if I've ever seen a flying object I can't identify. Well, sure. Doesn't make them particularly mysterious.

hahaha. good point.. i'm certain that, for the most part, people (myself included) will try to make normal and mundane things more mysterious for story-telling..although, after working in the airline industry for 4 years, i have a good idea of planes and choppers, so, maybe that's why i just jump to the next obvious conclusion...ufos..lol

I live near a large military base. I once saw a large plane in the sky and then a smaller black jet came out of the side of the large plane and started going perpendicular to the plane. It was weird.

Yeah, me and some friends saw a group of UFOs once. I even submitted a report to the National UFO Reporting Center. http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/111/S111649.html

Haha there were actually more than 4 people! There was a family hanging out further down the beach and they were yelling about it, too.

When I was studying for my degree [many years ago now] I was walking home after lectures and then a couple of pints. I got to a point on my journey where the road falls away quite steeply and is quite straight for nearly a mile. Standing at the top of where the fall begins I could see that there was a bank of cloud approaching from beyond the horizon, while overhead the sky was, for the most part, clear of cloud. There were numerous bright flashes from above the cloud, but there was no sound. The flashes lit up the sky like daylight [this happened late at night] and silhouetted the cloud that hid the source of the flashes. This continued quite a while: I waited to see what was causing it, but I never found out.

It was not:

An aeroplane/planes/helicopter/other aircraft

A storm

I do not believe it was an explosion/explosions.
