Yep, I've seen flying objects that I couldn't identify.
Oh, did you mean alien spacecraft?

Yes I have. Back in the 1970s I was at a gathering of amateur astronomers in the desert when a flashing star appeared high in the sky. It just flashed for a fraction of a second once every 10 seconds or so. The fact that we were at Giant Rock where the famous UFO contactee George Van Tassel had his headquarters helped with the excitement spreading through the crowd. And we had telescopes, lots and lots of telescopes. Before long several of them had the object in the eyepiece. Even in the telescopes it still just looked like a star or point source with no size or visible shape. It was always dimly there, but too dim to see without the telescope except once every 10 seconds or so it would flash brightly for a fraction of a second, almost like a strobe light. What was it? One theory we had was a geosynchronous satellite that was rotating once every 10 seconds and glinting off some polished surface. It seemed stationary in the sky but the telescopes which had clock drives to track the stars were keeping the object centered with the motors still tracking, so whatever it was, it was stationary with respect to the background of stars and not with respect to the Earth's surface like a geosynchronous satellite would be. Another idea I had was that it was a space craft departing for the planets that was already so far away that it's motion would have been small as seen from Earth. The problem with that idea was that no launch had been in the news recently, and we as a group were the kind of people who pay attention to such news, and if it really was far enough away to appear stationary it would not have been so bright. Eventually it just stopped flashing and in the telescopes it faded slowly until it was no longer visible.
So, what was it really? We never figured out what it was. It was just Unidentified!

I don't know if anyone will believe me, but I have seen a couple of them.
One I have seen was hovering over a local elementary school; I was inside at the time with the lights off, peeking through the shade at it. It was nighttime and hard to describe to detail, all I could tell was it had a couple of glowing lights on it, but I got bad vibes from it. And even though it was dark, it was definitely nothing I have ever seen before, just by the shape of the figure alone. The thing was using some sort of light to search for stuff; it shined the light at my window, so I quickly refrained from watching it further.
Another I encountered while exploring a field behind my house at night (different house from the one described above). I was bored, so I decided to chase my cat down a wide field not far from my back yard. I was near a line of trees and I had an odd feeling about the location I was in, more bad vibes similar to the previously stated encounter above. I quickly turned around and right behind me there was this eerie rounded craft which had three lights of blue, red, and white in a triangle like formation. It was just hovering there, too low to be an airplane or any aerial vehicle we use. Seeing this made me sprint for my house, just freaking creepy, the bone chilling feeling I got by looking at that thing was astonishing (plus it sneaked up on me); think the cat also ran with me.
I've seen others too, but I'll only speak of these encounters. Believing my story is all up to you, but I'm still going to believe I saw a UFO, and felt it too.

No. there is no such thing as a UFO. but when people see things flying and think its strange they say its a alien.

Yes. I figured out what caused the phenomena and it wasn't alien. It was bright, oval, and darted at a very high rate.

All the time. Whenever I look up and see an OBJECT that is FLYING and I know that it's UNIDENTIFIED.
