Hard to discount UFO’s after you’ve seen them isn’t it. :)
Absolutely. And I really had no pre-conceptions or opinions about them one way or another. I went out to take a walk after dark in the summer, leaned against the old wood gate leading to a pasture, and it appeared quite quickly. Hovered I’d say 100 feet max (this is MANY years ago!!) just hung there, slowly spinning, many different colored lights like windows or something else, I remember yellow, red, green. I just watched it completely mesmerized, not afraid (which is very odd as normally I am a total nervous nellie) and after some time (how long? I have no idea) and then it very quickly disappeared, almost in no time. Silent the whole while.
I went inside and never told anyone.
Then either that night or next I had another odd experience.
So I know there is a lot more to reality than is force fed down our throats!
