UFO's... What do you think?

Weather balloons.

When I was a kid back in the 60's, my father, a career Air Force man, was stationed at NORAD outside of Colorado Springs. He also happened to be a radar tech. Half of the stuff they tracked in the sky they had no idea what is was. ( ok, maybe a bit of an overstatement ) But, the point is, there's a lot of stuff flying around out there, and we are most probably not alone.

So what do you all think? Truth or tall tales?

I was stationed in the northwest cape of Australia back in 1968 and was going to the Baracks when I noticed this object glowing just west of us up the hill it was a UFO ran into both buildings and the entire base ran out and watched this whole think unfold.this flying oval was hovering by the water Tower,from the tower to the west was flat land to the Indian Ocean,distance was 25 miles.The whole crew watched this for about 1/2 hour and went it took off to the west,if you would have blinked you would have missed it,there was no sound.I was there for 1.5 years and we had numerous sitings.We were 100s of miles from the nearest town back then.It made a believer out of me.

Here's one my wife and I saw in 2013. It wasn't high in the sky but it sure as heck was flying, although I tell her it was a squirrel on a pogo stick. Makes as much sense as any other explanation.

We are out in the country, closest neighbor is a quarter mile.

Two things made me a believer. 1) when someone said there are as many galaxies as there are grains of sand on a beach, so we would be arrogant to think we are the only forms of life out there.
number 2) was this:
Ancient Aliens | Ancient Air Planes

Pleant or cave drawings on the walls and in ancient times showing space craft and planes WAY BEFORE roswell and the excuse of copy cat sightings since roswell......Even more controversial than the model airplane are
the enigmatic carvings found in the temple of Abydos,
Egypt by Dr. Ruth Hover. Hover photographed a wall
panel which had been revealed when a newer
overlaying panel crumbled and fell off. The older
panel beneath contained embossed images that
resemble modern aircraft as seen in profile.

But since airplanes had not yet been invented in 1898 (never mind ancient Egypt), it was labeled as a model of bird and
stored away in the basement of the Cairo museum. The object was rediscovered many years later by Dr. Khalil Messiha,
an authority on ancient models. According to Messiha and others who have studied the object, it has characteristics of
very advanced aerodynamics, much like modern pusher-gliders that require very little power to stay aloft. The curved
wings are today known as reverse dihedral wings, which can attain great amounts of lift. A similar design is employed on
the supersonic Concord aircraft.

A believer of what? HS

 

[deerseeker001]

say what you may,I know what we saw,200+ people.

I don't think he's doubting you. He's just asking for an explanation from a witness of what they interpret that they saw.

 

[deerseeker001]

this was a UFO hovering at the height of the Water tower,there is no question what we were seeing,this was a Navel communication Station with a Satellite Tracking station just down the road and never picked this UFO up on Radar.

Good explanation.

I've not seen a UFO but I am open to the possibility.

Last year I saw a meteor fireball for the first time. I didn't fully realize what I saw until it was on the news. It looked like it was flying over the town about 10 miles from here. I really thought I would be reading about something crashing on the ground locally. In reality it was passing over Virginia when I saw it.

Things in the sky can be very deceptive visually and we don't get much practice seeing such things.

What were you seeing? If there was no question, what you saw, what was it? HS

 

[deerseeker001]

It was a very large round craft silver in color that just hovered with no noise,it was lite up.I just guessing the water tower is 200 foot off the ground and was right next to it.

So if you have identified it, is it a UFO? HS

I can't imagine this discussion without spiritual beliefs being expressed.

40 years ago when my boys were children we were laying on a blanket in the yard staring at the starlit summer night sky. From North to South 3 bright white lights the magnitude of a very bright star streaked across the sky. They were in a /\ formation and crossed the entire sky, horizon to horizon, in about 5 seconds. Definitely a UFO to us.

Wow that's an amazing story!!! That's exactly the type of first hand experience I'm talking about. Fascinating. Makes you really wonder what it was.... UFO for sure.

 

[PapaPerk]

I saw something I could not explain once... Back in college, I was looking up at the sky one night and I saw a cigar shaped light traveling fast, like a shooting star on a low trajectory. The weird thing about it was about half way across the sky, it changed directions. It just continued on out of sight and never made a sound. It covered the whole sky horizon to horizon in just a few seconds.

Similar speed to Ovrszd's UFO sighting! I need to start looking up. I maybe missing things. Thank you for sharing!

Makes you think how small we are.
