My UFO experience

[Inkslinger]

I’ll throw up my one and only “UFO” experience. I would say it was twentyish years ago. My now wife and I where traveling westbound on a major state road one evening. Far ahead of us, low in the horizon almost in line with the road was a light. It was orange/yellowish and seemingly stationary. Now I realize it may have been moving in our direction and combined with our movement it would appear stationary. I don’t remember the amount of time that we observed it, but I would say at least 30+ seconds. What happened next was it immediately shot off to our left, in a straight line and disappeared. It moved FAST. Not a maneuver you would expect from an aircraft. Now when we returned to her house, her brother who would listen to a CB in there garage told us people were on there talking about seeing a strange light in the sky over a large town that was in the direction that we saw this go down. Could it be explained? I know I couldn’t.

“Could it be explained” I know what you mean, I also know that it happens so fast that it’s hard to describe and any description minimizes what you actually saw.

The amount of time that we got to observe what we saw was definitely long enough to make both of us go wtf!

But still people put on scuba and travel to see sea lice. Could just be a tour group to see the oddities of a small world.

Even that basic idea presumes intelligence follows a human pattern. IF alien life exists they probably don't think, act or view anything in a way even related to humans or any life on this planet. And alien "mind" is probably something we cannot even relate to and I doubt we would hold any interest for it.

To think we are alone in the universe seems a bit off to me. If an advanced civilization has the ability to travel through space/ time,I I seriously doubt we would be able to comprehend much about them. Why wouldn't they come here? Earth is full of resources.

If they could travel from there to here, they could probably manufacture any resourced they need. Certainly they'd have the ability to combine hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Also with a universe full of exploding starts, the entire periodic table is literally out there floating in space....everywhere.

Indeed. I guess we are all in agreement that they would too advanced for us to understand anything concerning them. They may not even be carbon based life forms. They could be from another reality.

I had a very strange encounter about 10 years or so ago that scared the shit out of me. I was driving down my road to go over a buddies house to watch Monday night football. Driving down the road that leaves my development when I notice all these alternating colors coming off a object that looked like it was hovering above me and the road I was driving down. I live not far from a major airport so I’m very used to seeing planes and many helicopters around in the night sky. This thing that I was looking at appeared to be close to the ground and not moving at all so I first assumed it was a helicopter. Problem was it looked too big based on how far the lights were apart and were also not typically colored and timed like all the other helicopters I’ve seen throughout my life. Problem number two was I stopped my car underneath it and I could tell it was low but it made absolutely no noise at all, none. I watched in for about 30ish seconds just thinking to myself wtf am I looking at. It then went from just sitting there to shooting across the sky like a comet in an instant to the distant horizon which I was guessing appeared to be atleast 20-30 miles. It then shot back towards me overtop my location again, paused for a few seconds and then shot off like a comet again in and instant strait up into the the sky and vanished. Every hair on my body stood up as I was trying to rationalize what the hell I had just seen. Drove to my buddies house and they said it looked like I had seen a ghost, proceeded to do a few shots and have a few drinks and begin to watch the game. I didn’t tell them until the next day what I had seen and I why I was so weirded out. Most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen and if I hadn’t seen it personally I’d say I was full of crap. No way I could figure a person could be in the craft with the speed and g’s that thing was pulling, at least to my understanding of physics. Not to mention it being totally silent and move that quickly, mechanically and technologically doesn’t make sense to me either.

That definitely sounds like some close encounters of the third kind. The wife and I just got back from a Christmas event at an old iron furnace from the late 1700’s. A line of low orbit satellites passed over head and that just mesmerized everyone!

I was driving down the road and ahead of me a storm was rolling in and the clouds coming toward me were just rolling. dark and foreboding.
The forward edge of the clouds parted a bit and I swore I could see the forward edge of a lighter grey flying disk. It stalled and again the clouds rolled around in and didn't see it again.
Clouds moved off and everything was gone.

Pretty good experiences. Some things just can’t be explained.
