First of all, the title is ridiculous.

"Do Pilots Believe in UFOs?"

Any pilot who does not believe that there are, indeed, Objects that Fly that are Unidentified needs to go back to school.

"Do Pilots Believe in Alien Spacecraft?" would be much more to the point. But when did UFO become synonymous with Alien Spacecraft?

A pilot once answered my question by saying that if airlines fired all the pilots who saw UFOs there wouldn’t be anyone to fly the planes.

I always assumed that the whole UFO phenomena was something that the CIA had started to cover up black ops and secret experimental military aircraft. But then, a few years ago, the CIA came out with a public statement that they had started the whole UFO thing to cover up black ops and secret experimental military aircraft. So were they lying, they are the CIA after all, or were they telling the truth in order to mislead us about something else? I don’t know.

Just because you might see anti-grav air/spacecraft out there doesn’t mean they were piloted by aliens from other worlds.

My hometown was hit with a rasher of sightings back in the 60's (though I didn't see one). A lot of the sightings were out on farms and the farmers (not a crowd given to silliness) were actually frightened by them.

If it was the CIA, they were wasting their time (unless perhaps spreading misinformation in a rural area and small town was their goal).

Same with skywatchers; you’ll see many odd, difficult-to-explain things in the night sky. That doesn’t necessarily mean that Marvin the Martian is popping over for a visit, though.

I understand that BigFoot has been piloting the UFO’s. The UFO’s are from the planet Bolok.

I thought I read not long ago that one of the Apollo Astronauts was a big proponent of this...

“If it was the CIA, they were wasting their time”

What they claim, as I said I don’t know whether to believe them, is that by creating hysteria, all reports of strange lights and aircraft would be discounted and the military could operate with impunity.

Wonder if any of the passengers on that flight saw the UFO?

There is a documentary that shows up every so often called “I Know What I Saw”. It features military, commercial and law enforcement personnel that have witnessed this phenomenon and is very interesting. To think that humans are the only intelligent life in the universe is so arrogant it boggles the mind.

I saw something similar to what is described back in the early 90’s. I was visiting family out on the west coast near Laguna Beach. A gated community in a valley south of El Torro MAS.

Being on eastern time, my body clock got me up at my usual time, 6AM EST. Made coffee and went out to to the pool area to sit and have coffee and look at all the stars. A better sky than I’m used to.

I’m looking to the East up at about 10~11 o’clock when I noticed a group of stars shimmer a bit. It was a brief shimmer, localized. Could have been a heat bloom from somewhere but at that hour? Then movement caught my eye to the north (the valley runs more or less, north to south) and I turn to see a red ball in the sky. It seemed to hover a second or two and then changed course and altitude, west and down and disappeared behind the hills. The whole event lasted at most about 10~ 15 seconds. The ball altered speed and course. Didn’t hear anything. And later I learned that valley bounced sound around from anywhere that would have hit it walls like water flowing through a trough.

I have no idea what I saw, but I saw it, and it was flying.

Well, they didn't create much hysteria around here.;-) Except a bunch of kids spent 3 nights driving out in the rural areas looking for sighting (all to no avail).

As you said up thread, I think the CIA is lying.

I’ve always remembered a comment that Jacques Vallee once made in an interview or documentary:

“I think what the UFO phenomenon is teaching us is that we don’t understand time and space.”

Here’s mine: It was during lunch and I was looking out my window at the sky; it was bitter cold with a wind that had cleared off everything and left the sky deep blue. I first noticed a white ball with about the magnitude of a tennis ball slowly moving eastward, at a fairly slow pace(at about 10 o’clock). While I was trying to figure out what that was, all of a sudden a huge, shiny (metallic) military type plane came into view, and I was astonished at how slow it was moving. Then, in a matter of two or three seconds, it vanished into thin air.
