ufo's

anyone have any experience seeing something??

i have always been fascinated with the cosmo's, 80% of the time outside at night im looking straight up.

i have a ten inch refractor telescope, always using it when i can, (man looking up at night in florida sucks compared to mass)

i have never seen any object flying that i couldnt explain,

perfect eyesight and enough common sence, and have never seen crap.

any of u??

I used to get up at 4AM and walk 5 miles. I dont do that any more but I really miss the light show. I would see shooting stars every where, it was like a spielberg movie. I miss that alot.

The only UFO I have seen was my oldest son, Unidentied Flying Oddball.

But I do like watching the starts when I'm able.

hmmmmm a few years back i was messing around with my kids telescope, i found what looked like a dust cloud in space, then next to it a saw and object, a light white going in and out like a yo-yo, made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
saw ball lightning when i was kid, i was about five feet from it, no ufo but maybe to some, i also had a visit from the MUFON investigators a few years back, it seems my neighbors claimed to have had a close encounter, i saw nothing of course.

When I was in South East Asia and when I had to work the night shift and when there was nothing to do I would lay on top of an airplane wing and gase to the night skys.
I was always seeing things way up there moveing.
This was back in the 60,s.
I thought at the time it was satallites, I still think that is what it was.

Out where I am, the skies are very clear. What I like living in rural Arizona because you CAN see the skies (used to live in San Diego area). It's easy to spot satellites and there are other events that can be explained pretty well. But there are a few that defy classification.

Seen Huge Triangular objects that fly nearly noiseless a couple of times. Orange lights that shine suddenly in sequence or in a pattern and disappear as quickly. Shining objects that will make sharp turns and so on. Not often but enough.

I was out one night looking up at the sky and I saw what looked like a shooting star go by, then a few seconds later another one went by. I followed them through the sky and the second one started catching up with the first. Then the first started taking on an erratic pattern, it would curve left then right, curve around and go back the way it was coming from...and the second was right on it's tail the whole time. Then the first one suddenly exploded and the other went back the way it came from. Then I took another hit off the bong, and got another shot of liquor....

Ive know people that have tried it. Everyone that ive talked to said you dont hallucinate but its still a very potent liquor. And it is pretty cool cause it does have like a dark neon glow to it.
