Anyone else ever seen a UFO?

[Lady Dimitrescu 10,262]

Well sadly, I haven't.

 

Actually I've never experienced any kind of paranormal or unexplained phenomena. Maybe that's a good thing and I've led a relatively normal life.

 

So no UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full-trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster or the theory of Atlantis for me.

Tinnitus?

Mulder heard a disturbing aural dissonance in the Season 6 finale Biogenesis that very much resembled a severe case of tinnitus.

[A24 4,924]

What is the theory of Atlantis?

[Jurassic Shark 15,567]

That it's the best indy game?

[Richard P 4,952]

Actually you probably have seen a UFO. A flying object you couldn't immediately identify... no one said anything about aliens

[A24 4,924]

As a kid, I thought I saw something strange (a moving star), but I was told it was a satellite. Sigh ...

Yep, thought about that! I think anything that an aviation professional couldn't identify as a plane or helicopter even upon close scrutiny and inspection gets the "UFO" stamp.

[A24 4,924]

I'm pretty sure that if the Event Horizon telescope project will announce the first ever photo of an alien spaceship nobody here will be interested. 

[Amer 2,643]

I may have .... I did see a cylindrical shinny tube pass amongst a cloud. I think it was an airplane but then what ever it was never came out of that cloud. And its was mid day. So...

 

but I believe in clairvoyance as well as astral body projections (which is a bloody painful thing! )

It'd probably be just as blurry as any other UFO pic taken on Earth with a third-rate point-and-shoot.

Were you by any chance high?

Why would you assume that seeing a UFO is a paranormal experience? All it means is you just couldn't identify the object you saw nothing spooky about that.

[Xander Harris 8,497]

No.

[John 2,033]

I’ve... seen things you people wouldn’t believe.

Once again, the LAPD is asking Los Angelenos not to fire their guns at the visitor spacecraft. You may inadvertently trigger an interstellar war.

[Xander Harris 8,497]

This is so cool.

[Lady Dimitrescu 10,262]

Girl, please.

[Xander Harris 8,497]

Man, you are never gonna get to fly the space shuttle if you marry a stripper.

[Lady Dimitrescu 10,262]

Let's try it, baby.

[Quintus 5,914]

HELLO BOYS! I'M BBAACK!!!

[Xander Harris 8,497]

Pilot, identify yourself.

[Lady Dimitrescu 10,262]

Scully, look...

[mstrox 7,281]

I can’t identify most flying objects

[Bespin Copilot 10,069]

[Quintus 5,914]

See if they have those pens that they give away.

[Xander Harris 8,497]

The pen! Is truly mightier than the sword.

[Lady Dimitrescu 10,262]

I got so emotional when Mulder found his sister, I cuddled my cat. My cat and I have a deep, soulful connection.

I have seen what I contend was a UFO. 

[karelm 3,236]

I frequently see UFOs. There is apparently an underwater UFO base off the coast of LA.  See video below.

 

But what I first believe to be UFO are usually ultimately identified.  My sister saw something I can't explain though.  No photographs exist but it definitely didn't sound like a natural or known explanation could explain.

 

[Xander Harris 8,497]

There was a major UFO incident in southern California a couple years ago that was explained off as some sort of rocket testing or something, but I didn't even see that. No UFOs. No earthquakes. It's nothing like the movies here.

Definitely, Vandenberg Airforce Base frequently launches rockets that fly over Southern California.  At the right time (dusk) they'll spectacularly light the sky and produce strange lights hovering over town.  Though it is 80 miles from LA, you can clearly see rockets and now with SpaceX launching from there, you can see landing rockets and if you don't know what it is, it is a very startling sight. 

 

I took a video of the entire launch/landing sequence which lasted about 8 minutes filled with gasps and I knew what to expect (just wasn't sure I knew it would be so clear).  I couldn't imagine people driving home from work seeing this and not knowing what it was.

Same here. Am deeply sceptical about all of it although obviously I can suspend disbelief in order to enjoy horror, fantasy etc.

[Naïve Old Fart 12,156]

As Woody Allen once said: "The only sign of intelligent life in the universe, is that it doesn't visit Earth".

[JoeinAR 1,955]

I saw an object moving across the sky. It had 8 contrails. I though 8? What flies with 8 engines. Turned out it was a 50+ year old B-52 Bomber which I was clearly able to identify with my binoculars. That silhouette is pretty unique.

[Naïve Old Fart 12,156]

Was it flying to its own private Idaho?

[Xander Harris 8,497]

Was there glitter on the highway?

[Amer 2,643]

Did it sing five notes to you?

[Naïve Old Fart 12,156]

@Amer said the sun came out, last night. Amer said it sang to him.

[Lady Dimitrescu 10,262]

I was watching Fox News the other night and the US Navy wants to rename UFOs as Unexplained Aerial Phenomena (UAP) in the government's new formalised reporting process for pilots. So now they want reports on these things, but just without the cuckoo "UFO" stigma. Jeez.

[Xander Harris 8,497]

The phenomena is headed for Moscow.

[Lady Dimitrescu 10,262]

David are you watching this?

[Naïve Old Fart 12,156]

I could not take you all so seriously, really, when you called and said you'd seen a UFO.
