this may not be the place to ask this, but...i feel like i'm alone and on crazy pills when i bring up this with anybody. i've never done drugs before or anything in that nature, yet i can't explain what i saw in the air ten years ago.
driving down a road late at night in texas, i look up high in the sky and see what i initially thought was a satellite or plane. it starts slowing down, cuts to the left, and then cuts back in an instant and changes it's trajectory and darts across the horizon in an instant. i've never seen anything move that fast before and have always just lumped it into a UFO story.
anybody else ever seen or witnessed something resembling a UFO?

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

graveyard shifts seem to be full of creepy stories! are you talking like..paranormal?...feelings of dread?..expound if you'd like!
[–] gramman74 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Mostly lights in the sky. I wouldn't say too much paranormal stuff . the reason I say it so hard to explain away because it was not on a straight trajectory

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.

intense! yeah, my first thought was maybe lightning or something, but if it's not that, i have no idea. that's crazy.
[–] xxkibblezxx 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
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

holy shit. that's nucking futs. what's more intense is that there are 4 people to collaborate that story. yeah, for such a long period of time...what else could it be?? thanks for that. super interesting!
[–] xxkibblezxx ago
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.

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.
[–] goonie [S] ago
how the??..what?? yeah, there's gotta be all sorts of stuff like that. rad.
[–] venuspcs 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago (edited ago)
This should probably be over in /v/conspiracy or /v/unsolved or even /v/ufo
PS - Yes I have!
[–] goonie [S] ago
haha! yeah..that seems more appropriate over there..thanks!

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.
[–] goonie [S] 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
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?"
