Ever seen a UFO?

[Cup Noodle]

I have. I don't even believe in aliens. Almost a decade ago I got off of work and picked my kids up from day care. We were driving home in my OJ Bronco and I got a bright light in my eyes. My two eldest who were the only ones I had at the time were in the back seat. They were born a year and two weeks apart. They had their own language they had formed between themselves, but I understood this as a "swampy" A swampy was a reflection of light. Anyways, I looked back and they were just play fighting as usual. I looked back forward at the road and then noticed the source of the swampy. The sun was in the west and to the southeast there was a polished stainless steel ball bearing in the sky. I fuck with metals every day. Just trust that it looked like polished stainless. This is happening within seconds mind you. My first thought is I have a phone with a camera. We are going up a hill and when we get up the hill I will get out my phone and capture it from the best view point. We get up the hill and it is gone. I looked away and it disappeared. I live between two airforce bases. I see all kinds of military planes and helicopters all the time flying over. I'm also in close proximity to a NASA facility. I think it was a test of a next generation aircraft. I remember in the 90's how the stealth planes looked like alien shit until the government disclosed it. On the other hand if that was actually an alien craft and you are monitoring our communications, I want to be the first to say that I will hop onto your stainless ball bearing and fuck all of your women for science. You don't know if we can procreate if we don't try.

Only once: a spot of light in the clouds in the evening.

I assume it's a mundane explanation, not aliens. Especially since it was in the opposite direction from sunlight.

One when I was a kid I had a pair of binocs and I tracked an object in the sky, and i was like a flying disk with a glowing red grill. but also I was a kid so it could have been my imagination

Once when I was a kid playing in my driveway on a clear sky day, a huge, and I mean huge shadow passed over the ground in what felt like an instant. Looked up and nothing was there. At first I thought it was a plane or helicopter, but there was no sound from one to be heard. I settled on it being a bird, but it was incredibly unsettling for some reason that I can't explain.

It was probably a bird.

Edit: Changed some wording to make story clearer.​

I don't know if you are all aware of this, but every night while you sleep Roswell Grey aliens (also known as Zetans) creep into your bedroom and touch your butthole with their long, spindly fingers. If you happen to wake up during this, they club you over the head and give you an injection of mindwipe serum so that you don't remember anything. Have you ever woken up and not remembered a single thing about your dreams or anything after falling asleep? It means you got touched on the butthole by an alien.

I once saw a green light I couldn’t identify when I was a kid in the 80s. Hell half of me thought it might be Santa getting ready for Christmas but I was in that transition phase of realizing he wasn’t real. It was probably a comet or I misremember what I saw I dunno.

That's just @Baby Yoda using his usual tactics. You might feel as if you were clubbed over the head, but that is just the after effects of the ether laden rag @Baby Yoda used to subdue you. He tried it on me once, but I would not relent to his jedi mind tricks or his rag full of starting fluid.

No, it's still the aliens. because know why?

i am the aliens.

 

[Marissa Moira]

I think I got abducted once, but I only remember a brief second of it and the alien didn't look like anything that people would recognize.

Back in 2010 I was camping up on Rampart Range in Colorado, at a place called Devil's Head. There were two other groups of people at the site, and we were just finishing up a communal cookout. The fire was reduced to coals, and everyone was wandering back to their vehicles & tents, getting ready for bed.

Not far from the site is a tall rock formation, which we were going behind & using as the latrine area. I walked back around and almost ran into a couple who were watching something in the cloudless sky.

It was like a prismatic sphere, hovering further back in the mountains. It hung motionless for a couple minutes, then zipped straight up before dipping back down in front of the ridgeline. That movement gave it a sense of scale, and it appeared to be bigger than a helicopter. We called the rest over, so there was probably 6-7 people watching, with a couple climbing up the rocks for a better view. Everyone saw it, and I even tried to take a video of it with my new iPhone, but it was too dark & distant.

So that thing was glowing brighter than any stars or the moon, shifting through multiple colors from what looked like a single light source, and the way it moved was completely unnatural; even for a drone, which weren't really a thing back then. Eventually it blinked out of existence after oscillating several more times, and we watched it for a good 10-15 minutes. The next day I got out the binos & map to pinpoint where it was hovering, and the closest we could figure was the next ridge & a steep, rugged valley with literally nothing & no access.

I've seen a lot of things in the sky, but only once before have I seen something move like that, while I was waiting & staring at the night sky with NVGs in Iraq. But this thing was much closer & wasn't just a oddly-moving light, balloon, drone, etc. It was close enough that we should've been able to hear if it had rotors.

And speaking of..... I've seen & heard helicopters (or drones) literally flying into/out of Cheyenne Mountain (where they keep the StarGate). The helos always came from the reverse slope, near the top; a the part of the mountain you can't see unless you're somewhere like the Manitou incline. A service road goes all the way up to the summit antenna farm, but it's gated at the bottom, with Area 51-ish warning signs. There could be a helipad up there, but that part of the mountain is pretty steep & barren.

yes. i thought it was a shooting star at first but then the bitch curved upwards and flew back into space, honest injun

 

[Chongqing]

I haven't but one of my relatives has.

I know this shit sounds crazy. I went to a garage sale and found a super rare old local glass bottle for super cheap. When I went to give the dude the money he told me all about when he was working at the soda place for that super rare bottle and he saw a flying saucer. He told me we don't need to worry about the black/white divide. When the Gray's come it won't matter anymore. He made me uncomfortable and I wanted to leave. This even happened after my ball bearing experience. The ball bearing wasn't tiny btw. It was two or three 747's in diameter and just hanging out before it left. There is a super famous abduction that happened near here with two corroborating witnesses that was well covered in local and national media and had several Coast to Coast episodes. I still don't quite believe them, but it is a super cool story. I choose to believe my ball bearing is of human decent. I don't want to believe.

legit UFO as in "thing in the air I didn't know" rather than "beep boop take me to your anus"
once there was some silver cigar-ish looking thing off in the distance in the day
once there was something at night that was like, imagine if you had a blimp with a light on each end, and it was spinning along its center axis, while heading north at a good clip, that's how those lights were

I'm also quite aware that I know jack and shit about aircraft, much less things that might be going out for a spin vaguely near air bases, so by no means do I assume either was ayyyyyyyys.

beep boop take me to your anus

 

[GorillaGhost]

I've seen "Unidentified Flying Objects", but nothing alien. I'm just nearsighted so a frisbee would be unidentified until just before it hit me in the face. As a result, I've had to develop good reflexes.

Spoiler: UFO powerleveling

When I was a kid, I woke up in the middle of the night to a strange buzzing/humming noise coming from outside. I went to my window, drew the curtains to look out, and saw a glowing, golden diamond-shaped craft hovering in my backyard, more tall than wide. There was some kind of viewport/window, a black band a bit higher than the midpoint, and although it was nighttime and I probably couldn't see anything through the "glass" (or whatever material the window was) I remember distinctly feeling certain that there were beings in there behind the glass, and that they saw me, and that I wasn't supposed to see them. I was stricken with the worst dread and fear I have ever suffered, and I blacked out and awoke back in my bed the next morning, with the curtains still drawn. I developed a severe phobia of aliens that lasted until fairly recently, and I'll admit I still get paranoid about it. I also was unsure for years if my experience was real. I've had UFO dreams before, but this felt real. I developed a genuine and deep-seated phobia worse than any other fear, and I don't think you can develop that just from dreams. I also found a website for reporting UFO sightings and saw one mentioning a glowing diamond shaped craft in my area in that general time period. The only well-known UFO incident I've ever seen that resembled it was the Cash-Landrum Incident, although I will note that the craft I saw did not seem to be using the same kind of propulsion as the CL craft, nor did it seem to have military escort. My pet theory is that the Cash-Landrum craft was using an auxiliary propulsion system, and needed military escort, because their craft was damaged, whereas the same kind of craft is what I saw, but with its primary propulsion systems intact.

I have absolutely no memory of ever seeing an extraterrestrial, despite developing phobia of ayy lmaos. (Specific ones still trigger my anxiety, but I'm cool with most of them now). I wasn't given a message or toured the ship. So I think either they experimented on me or, more likely, I just saw something I wasn't supposed to see and they wiped my memories.

Sure, it's possible that it really was all a dream, but I had some pretty reality-bending dreams as a kid and it never gave me any kind of fears. I've gotten over this phobia, but to clarify, it's very specific images, like the cover of Communion by Whitley Strieber, that skeeve me. The cover of that book was drawn and redrawn by the artist until it matched what Whitley saw, and that image is probably the single one that evokes the most fear in me still. That's another thing that makes me think it may have developed because I had contact with them in this blackout period as a kid.

I've never tried memory recall hypnosis or whatever because I'm skeptical of it, I am worried that I would just see what I'm expecting to see, or what I "want" to see.

Sorry for the spergpost, just wanted to be as accurate as possible.

My brother got shitfaced drunk while camping out in the woods. He thought he saw a shooting star (we see those all the time here) but he swears up and down that this 'shooting star' didn't fall and disappear, instead it went back up and kept flying in difference directions.

Obviously, when he told us this story, we all just assumed he was drunk af and seeing shit. But the latest news on UAPs move a lot how my brother described, so now I'm not so sure. Maybe he really did see something.

 

[naaaaiiiiillllll!!!]

Me and my dad thought we saw one when I was ~14. We were in the yard BBQing and tossing a football back and forth in the late evening. Eventually, it was getting dark and I saw two red unblinking lights moving slowly across the night sky. I called my dad over and he saw them too. Aircraft from a myriad of military bases flew by all the time, but these lights 1) didn’t blink like every aircraft we’d seen and 2) moved slowly and silently. Without saying a word, we watched them rotate slowly for 5 minutes and start moving towards the west (we were in a valley looking north so the lights approached the edge of the valley).

There was just enough sunlight that as the lights approached the end of the valley, we saw the silhouette of a blimp (silhouette was darker than the night sky at that moment) — the two red lights were on the tips of this blimp as it moved towards the west and out of our field of view. It was a Sunday night and there was a home NFL game earlier with a Goodyear blimp per usual. UFO mystery solved! With that said, having the Goodyear blimp fly 35+ miles inland and away from the stadium in near darkness was flat-our bizarre.

A few years ago, early July 2017, I was on my way to work (I worked nightshift, at a store that was a ten minute drive from the beach, and I was on the interstate as the sun was starting to set). At one point on this particular stretch of road it rises to cross over a river, as I was approaching this point I noticed something falling in the sky. At first I thought it was either a shooting star or a piece of debris, however the object split into six pieces/fireballs, three of which rose back up into the air and formed into a triangle as the others faded away, with each piece being where one of the corners would be (I've noticed triangle motifs are frequent in UFO phenomenon).

After a few seconds, all but one of the pieces had faded, and said piece began to fly off in a spiral pattern, heading towards the beach. At this point I'm freaking out, and looking around to see if any other drivers near me had slowed down or were in any way reacting to what had happened. Everyone else was driving on as if nothing had happened, so I just proceeded to work. To this day I regret not saying "fuck it" and following that one piece towards the beach to see what would happen.

There was a video on youtube that captured a near identical event in the same city as what I saw (I don't think it was the same exact event I witnessed, since the sun was just starting to set when I had my encounter and the video on youtube took place at night at some local school's ballgame). I can't seem to find that video anymore, but at least I know I'm not the only one who witnessed it.
