Have you ever seen a UFO?

Question

When I was about 7 years old, My sister and I were playing at the front of our house when a grapefruit sized red ball of light came downwards hit a lamp post and shot straight up into the sky. We watched it for ages until it disappeared. We still to this day don't know what it was. Do you think it was a UFO?

Answer 1

I have no clue if what you saw was an alien being of some kind, but obviously it WAS an unidentified flying object. Yeah...I have been hit by a few in my time (you should see my windshield).

Answer 2

I think what you saw was, yes. There's no way anything else could've gone that high, after a bounce. And normally shooting starss arn't round and who knows where they go?. When I was
in of my last years of high school, my parents and I were visiting my brother who had just graduated from university, and I was standing outside. I looked up at the night sky and there was this tube slowy gliding by. I thought at the time, it was a UFO. I still can't identify what it was. But unless weather balloons are tube shape, it wasn't a weather balloon.

Answer 3

Yes, I would think you have seen a UFO since it is "unidentified".

I, too, have actually seen one out in the night sky. There were lots of stars, and I was at a beach. Out of nowhere, I see this glowing thing (it was far from me, of course) shaped kinda like a hot-air balloon, except it didn't have the basket hanging on it. Its color was yellowish-orange and it was really bright. Anyway, it faded pretty quick (2-3 seconds)... I don't know what it is, but, yeah...

Answer 4

Hey, I'm not really sure if I'm answering your question, but do you think maybe it was 'ball lightning'?

Here's the wiki description:

Ball lightning reportedly takes the form of a glowing, floating object often the size and shape of a basketball, but it can also be golf ball sized or smaller. It is sometimes associated with thunderstorms, but unlike lightning flashes arcing between two points, which last a small fraction of a second, ball lightning reportedly lasts many seconds.

Answer 6

Back in the Eighties I worked at a remote plant out in the country. One day I was asked to work over into the evening shift. As evening came I observed a bright star in the southern sky I had never noticed before. I have not seen a star as bright since then. I pointed this out to my co-workers who glanced at it and dismissed it as nothing out of the usual. About 8:00 p.m. the shift supervisor told me to go to town for something to eat. As I left the plant driving south I couldn’t help but notice this star as it loomed in the sky in front of my windshield. As I got to the main road and stopped to check for traffic before entering the highway the star emitted a bright beam of light toward the ground. It was indistinguishable from the light a powerful airport searchlight would emit. I stopped my truck completely, killed the engine and exited my truck for a better view. The beam of light danced around for about ten seconds before the ‘star’ took off moving faster than anything I have ever seen across the evening sky, seemingly leaving a single straight light in its wake as it vanished into the void. From where I stood the ‘star’ neither descended nor ascended but streaked across the sky in a perfectly straight trajectory. I never heard any sound. To this day I don't understand why I was overcome by a feeling I can only describe as... Empathy; sympathy for a good friend about to embark on a long and perilous journey home and you just don't know if you will ever meet each other again.

Back at the plant my co-workers actually laughed at my story until I challenged them to go outside and find the ‘star’ I had pointed out earlier. They quit laughing.

The next day another operator who had been in the field during this time had his own story to tell (without having heard what I had seen). He said he was in the field in the operator’s shack when he heard incoming (he was a Viet Vet and meant the whistling sound mortar shells make before they strike). He ran outside and threw himself on the ground face down. I asked him if he had seen anything, and he said no, but that he was startled that the expected explosion never came. I asked him if he had noticed the time. “You know, its funny you should ask that,” he said, “I don’t know why I looked at my watch but it was 8:15 p.m.”

Oddly enough I don’t know why I looked at my watch when I observed the ‘star’ streaking across the sky. Now it occurred to me that it had flown directly over the field operator’s shack. When I looked at my watch, you guessed it; it was exactly… 8:15 p.m. Apparently he heard what I only saw—unquestionably, a UFO.

Best.

Answer 7

I don't know. I have never seen one. But when I was little my parents said they heard a loud rumble and crash in the sky and there was flashing lights and it was in the newspaper the next day.

Answer 8

I'd say a ball of lightning... but I have seen lots of ufo's, just not alien ones. there are lots of things flying out there that are not identifiable at once... voila ufo...

Answer 9

I have seen three UFOs.

I never saw little green or gray occupants.

I only saw the crafts, and they could have been something from somewhere else, and may have been black op projects desined bu the government.

Answer 10

Never!
I have seen lights moving fast, but some friends told me they are spy planes and/or satellites
