Probably 5th grade or so and was skating on the local pond and took a break on a snow bank. I saw this HUGE meteor - larger than a full moon. It was REALLY close to the ground, and figured it would have hit in the next suburb to the west.
Ran home, had my mom call the police - nothing.
Had them call the TV station - nothing.
It seemed SO real - I just couldn’t believe it.
Later, as an adult, I’m guessing that I must have fallen asleep on that snow bank and dreamt it. But I also recall how real it seemed.
(Not saying that all of these sightings aren’t real).
I did some work on an old abandoned Air Force base in the desert of California. Out on the runways - middle of the night, by myself taking measurements of instruments. Had to wait while the instruments took data - had lots of time to look at the sky. And to spook myself out.
But I never did see any UFO’s. So for me - that’s the proof right there that there aren’t any. PRIMO spot for the UFO’s! (Hmm - it was abandoned - that wouldn’t be of much interest to a UFO I guess.....)
Fallen asleep in a snow bank?
That usually happens after a few drinks. And it doesn’t end well.
