"It suggests something otherworldly,"

No, that's an ASSUMPTION. In fact, it's ignorance kicked up a notch.

somebody ping the mac users.

I’ve seen one. It’s life changing. I was all by myself out in the middle of nowhere Navajo country. What a bizarre experience.

[Thrownatbirth]

said while the "foo fighter" sightings were likely misidentified electrical weather phenomenon

I wondered where that band got its name.

Thanks much.

As the doc starting this thread sort of indicates . . . a lot more folks are due to find out what it’s like to see one!

I heard a comedian say that it was a fact that every person that had ever seen a ufo lived in a mobile home.

I saw something peculiar not long ago. I try to find scientific explanation for things, but this I could not. It was incredibly windy, and no airplane, no helicopter pilot in their right mind would/should’ve been out in it, but I saw a bright object zig-zagging and flying against the wind and performing all kinds of weird acrobatics. I could not conceive of anything human made that could have done that under those conditions.

It's like any other hallucination.

1. Take hallucinogenic substance in the proper dose.

2. See space monsters.

3. Get interviewed by the history channel.

If you completed step 2 or 3 without first completing step 1, it is essential that you visit a nearby psychiatric clinic and get medicated.

Seeing them is not nearly fun as piloting one of those babies...Picture it: In the skies over Roswell New Mexico, 1947. I remember the time....

Er, never mind.

My dad saw three disc-shaped objects hover a few hundred feet off the ground for around a half hour and then suddenly speed away out of sight within a couple seconds. ....in the Catskills, NY, summer of 1947. ....a year, incidentally, when a great many UFO sightings/encounters were reported.

Ping, and will try to remember to ping you again Monday so you see this.

[Las Vegas Dave]

Pinging the list......

I have a friend who was on a stake out in Mississippi and saw one. He was pretty agnostic about all of it before he saw it, and today he has no idea what it actually is, but he said that it was so clearly beyond what he understands to be feasible that if it IS man made, then he wonders why that race of people hasn’t declared itself supreme on Earth and just subjected us all.

That was his take on it, and his rationalization for why he doubted it was manmade.

For those who wanted to know about my experience.. it was during a club trip out to a house on the Navajo reservation. I wish I had the presence of mind to write this down but it was too intense to write down. It was a bright light in the sky that I thought was a shooting star but no...it came right down in front of me, hovered for a second like it was reading my mind or studying my face then went on its way. Bizarre and since then I’ve had other mystical experiences not completely explainable.
