Everything is a UFO without my glasses lol

I don't think I have ever seen anything that was 100% unidentifiable or inexplicable but I would love to.

I always wonder if there might be alien teenagers out there in trouble with their parents for buzzing past the odd human for a laugh

could have been a weather balloon.../or a loose advertisement balloon...i thought i saw one in the 1970's flew over our house it was too low for a helicopter and made a whirring sound....apart from that i seen one from an aeroplane so did 200 other people. it skipped throught the air like a bullet..was like a missile...(maybe it was) ......

Comings and goings

I often see strange things in the air and as I sometimes can’t tell what it is I suppose it technically is an UFO although almost certainly either a plane or helicopter. I Do live close to Heathrow and RAF Northolt so lots of different comings of every variety.

Yes applegran a few years ago I saw much the same as you did, probably a barrage balloon type thing, silver coloured.
It certainly made me look twice!

We lived near an experimental Air base and saw and heard a number if strange things over the years.

My favourite was the circling lights, a cluster a bit like a flying saucer, that rotated high in the sky. A large drone prototype?

The base is disbanded now. (They say) ?

A few years ago we were walking in the grounds of a country Hotel, I looked at the horizon and what looked like the space shuttle shot straight up into the air, too far away to hear anything, but although we checked the newspapers and online nothing was mentioned.
As far as we could tell there were no Military bases nearby, but as it was so far away it was hard to tell.
And we couldn’t think what it could have been as it’s unlikely that a space shuttle would go up in the air in Hampshire!

This morning I had to call Mr Apple to look at the flying saucer I could see on the horizon. It looked stationary and hovered above distant hills. On reflection, I decided it should be called a UFO - it certainly was an unidentified flying object. Then it moved, very slowly, downwards - it looked like a barage balloon - does anyone remember these? I don't know what it really was. Have you ever seen something really inexplicable?
