Have you ever seen a flying saucer or UFO? I have!

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?

some years ago i lay in bed watching these lights in the sky bobbing up and down for about two hours.they sped off very quickly suddenly completely disappearing. the next morning two policemen reported seeing this ufo up close hovering over the spurs football ground. it was taken very seriously at the time.the police had no reason to lie.

We have a little holiday apartment in Turkey. One evening while we were sitting on the upstairs balcony a very bright object zoomed out of the sky towards us. As it got closer and we were thinking of ducking it suddenly shot straight up into the sky and disappeared. No idea what it was.

I saw an oval light, large, stationary in the pre dawn sky in March. I went into the garden and just looked at it, trying to understand what I was looking at. I have never seen anything like it before, took a photo with my phone. My son has posted the photo in a few websites and no one has offered an explanation.

When I was 12 (in the early 70’s), my mom, sister, and I were walking to the corner store at the end of our street. It was dark out and the sky was very clear.

When we came out of the store, we saw what looked like a UFO. It was a very large oval shaped disc. The width was larger than the street. Around it were different coloured lights. It didn’t make a sound. We stood there in awe and stared at it for five minutes. Then, suddenly it disappeared and reappeared again down our street. It didn’t make a sound.

I was scared as was my sister. Mom said that we should begin walking home. The UFO didn’t move as we walked. Once we got home, we rushed inside to tell my dad what we just saw. Dad came outside but it was no longer in the sky.

That night, as I lay in my bed I thought about what we saw. It has been fascinating and scary. I believe that life exists on other planets. Maybe, not in our form.

A couple of years ago, my husband and I were in Tobago. While swimming in the pool during the day, we saw a few disc like objects moving in and out of the clouds. They were a very light silver colour. When they were in front of the clouds, they were very dark in colour. I took videos of them. I also took photos. Once home, l made enlargements and compared the photos to UFO objects on the internet. They definitely looked like the UFO’s that other people had reported seeing. We are not alone.

I’ve had one experience. I was about 12, just getting near to home after a long early evening walk with my mum. It was still light with blue skies and white clouds. My mum had glanced upwards and clutched my arm. She pointed upwards. I saw an object in the sky. Not as high as a plane but very high. It appeared metallic, dark grey but shaded. It was stationary. We watched silently for maybe two minutes, then it just vanished. We didn’t see it travel, it just disappeared.
When we got home we described the experience to my dad but he was pretty disinterested.
My mum and I used to recall the incident regularly over 40+ years.
Never seen anything since, and not for lack of looking!
No idea what it was, so definitely unidentified and flying!

Paddyanne re the Scottish sighting. Years ago I worked in the Newsroom on a Scottish national morning paper (which meant we worked from mid afternoon through to overnight) . This particular night I was on lates, when calls started coming in one after the other, starting in the far north and quickly going south. All described very fast moving bright lights whizzing down the length of the country. We tried to follow this up, but drew a blank to all our enquiries. The callers believed they were UFOs, and maybe they were.

NannyC2, I have seen a documentary about the mosquitos in Florida. It is intended to eradicate certain diseases carried by mosquitos which kill many people ie dengue fever, zika and malaria. The genetically modified mosquitos are male and when they mate with the females, a protein it carries will kill them. It is the female mosquitos that bite and spread disease. Although people are critical, it is a genuine attempt to wipe out these diseases which kill thousands of people in poorer countries. If the Florica experiment is successful it can be used worldwide.

Tamayra How fascinating. Do tell more please.

Tamayra Wed 02-Sep-20 01:52:48

Yes I’ve seen them.Ive also been onboard one.
It was a wonderful experience Filled with love & not at all scary.
The craft I visited was also reported on local radio as being a UFO sighted over the headland I was living on at same time.
I’d love to go again as the beings onboard were so kind & loving & I was fully conscious the whole time.

GrauntyHelen Wed 02-Sep-20 01:20:39

No I haven't even though I live in a so-called hotspot The people I know who claim to have seen them locally are all a bit odd and I feel rather sorry for the aliens they claim to have met

Many years ago driving on a West Country road towards London in the early hours of the morning saw a bright light hoovering for ages as we got nearer it just appeared to vanish so quickly (in a flash )

If anyone has Amazon Prime please watch The Day before Disclosure. We are not alone!

The only UFO's I've seen are the kind I have in my sewing room waiting patiently to be finished.

Phloembundle Tue 01-Sep-20 20:34:41

Lefthanded. What you saw was a dust devil. They are quite a common sight in some of the African countries I have visited, but I've never seen one here.

In 1965 my upstairs neighbours and I watched something in the sky for over an hour. This was at about 1 .30 in the morning, and this object was hovering up and down, it had a white light at the top, and a red light underneath. We were fascinated by it and were trying to think what it could possibly be, when suddenly it seemed to whizz away in a backwards motion so fast that it disappeared in seconds. We were still talking about it when it came back to the same position as before, still just as quickly. We watched it again for about 20 minutes, then it disappeared again. Never saw it again. Next evening the local paper wrote that it had been seen by hundreds of other people who had reported it. I still remember it vividly, and no, I wasn't drunk!

Abou t 25yrs ago,my friend was dropping me off at home after a keep fit session,when we spotted 3 lights in the sky,they were moving slowly,then all of a sudden my friends car engine cut out and the 3 lights whizzed off and disappeared,almost like they were draining power from the car,most odd!

Theoddbird Tue 01-Sep-20 17:28:32

I have seen things. Often hovering lights....could never identify what they were so definitely UFOs

Pollyj Tue 01-Sep-20 17:09:42

* recently.

Pollyj Tue 01-Sep-20 17:09:27

Interestingly, I believe NASA really admitted the UFO sightings previously denied.

Pollyj Tue 01-Sep-20 17:06:46

Yes, I believe I have. One night very late I was closing the blind in my daughter’s room when I looked out and saw these lights. Planes are high up, small, flashing, slow. These lights were just over the roof, there were three of them in a triangle formation and going really fast. I ran downstairs and out the front door but they’d already vanished. No idea what they could have been.

In Buenos Aires in the 60s I saw half a dozen flying objects shaped like those bullet shaped bi-coloured pills, colour like a frosted light bulb. I was told they were UFOs. Never seen anything like them before or since.

Lulubelle500 Tue 01-Sep-20 17:01:55

Yes! We have friends who live near Salisbury in Wiltshire. Late one night, when we were staying with them, we were sitting in the garden talking. About 3 a.m. my dog started looking up and barking. I picked him up and he was shivering and whining. We all looked up and saw a cigar shaped object hovering overhead. It had very bright lights and stayed about fifteen minutes before rising up and disappearing.

Rudeness and sarcasm, whatever one's individual opinion of something have no place here.

halfpint1 Tue 01-Sep-20 16:34:40

Saggi , I don't think i'm a LOONEY , I had no interest or opinion on UFO's previous to its appearance in my life and that of my children who then took to drawing pictures of it.

However the one seen in 1990 was observed by a Pilot
flying a commercial flight and many many other people or LOONIES.
Best to keep an open mind you never know when you might
be joining us.

NannyC2 Tue 01-Sep-20 16:26:48

I have never seen one but no one could disprove that life elsewhere does not exist!
I did once see an enormous corn circle in a Wiltshire field, but it is known that these can be man made!

So many 'cover up ' stories around!

There's a lot going on which many of us don't hear about!
I just chanced on finding something quite concerning about a ‘Jurassic Park experiment’: where 750 million genetically engineered mosquitoes are to be released in Florida Keys in 2021 - The British-based firm Oxitec are behind the project that will test whether the altered mosquitoes can work as an alternative to pesticides to control the spread of diseases. We don’t know what could go wrong because EPA unlawfully refused to seriously analyze environmental risks.
Anyone else heard this?
