Answer 1

nope not me

Answer 2

I don't think you would really be able to tell me what I saw, one time lying on a beach in the Mediterranean. "Flying Saucer" was a term that came into use after one person described seeing a moving object in the sky that was disc-shaped, kind of like a saucer. For a long time strange objects in the sky were referred to as "flying saucers" until other people began describing different shaped objects they had seen. As a result, the "flying saucer" name was replaced by Unidentified Flying Object, (UFO).

Night always falls early in the Mediterranean. Around 5 p.m. the sun was already low over the ocean. I'd spent the afternoon on the beach. To the East was a very long stretch of horizon and the setting glow of the sun at that hour always brightened the whole stretch of sky. It was a pretty sight, and I was gazing in that direction, thinking I needed to gather my stuff and prepare to leave. Quite suddenly an object that, as best I could see at that distance, was longish, shot sideways, parallel to the horizon, South to West. It took maybe six seconds to travel across that whole stretch of the horizon, coming out of nowhere, and vanishing behind some distant tall buildings. Although its long shape was descriptive of an aircraft, it was travelling at colossal speed. Passenger planes were a common sight in the skies over that popular tourist location, and I was very familiar with the speed they travelled, leaving or approaching the airport. It was no plane. I had seen comets often, zipping across the sky both day and night, at that kind of speed, but nobody has ever seen a comet travelling low, and parallel to the horizon. Also, in spite of the brightness of the sky, the object I saw out-dazzled any metalic aircraft I'd ever seen, caught in the sun's light. It was extremely bright as it whipped across the horizon.

If I had not been sitting gazing exactly in that direction I would have missed it altogether in that brief time. To this day I have puzzled over it. I've been through the list of everything it was NOT - bird, plane, or comet, so that leaves UFO. I've also seen the fastest aircraft made on earth, in flight, and none have I seen travelling at that kind of speed.

Well, that is the sum total of my personal UFO experience, and can hardly be described as a "close encounter". But certainly tantalizing enough never to have been forgotten, and to totally reinforce my belief that this planet is visited by entities whose technology is far ahead of our own.

Answer 3

Yes but it was full of water and my cats were fighting over it. The big one grabbed it with his teeth and threw it. There were no aliens involved just a big puddle of water on the floor which I had to clean up. I forgot to mention it happend at 6:00 this morning when I got my kids up for school. I actually got hit by the second flying saucer which had cat food in it my big cat picked that one up and threw it also. I picked all 3 cats up and tossed them outside. I hope I don't see anymore flying saucers again twice in a day is enough.

Answer 4

My brother said he saw ghosts and UFO's too. One night, I walked up a lonely road home when we lived on a ranch. Next morning, I told Bro Al, "Last night, I saw a flying saucer in the road when I came around the curve past Beecher Thompson's home. It was maybe 40 feet wide." His eyes widened, and he asked me what happened then. I told him, "A 25 feet wide teacup landed in the flying saucer, and I got the heck out of there!" Actually, when I was about age 9, my school saw a disc in the sky. It moved slowly and looked silver. It was probably a weather balloon. Any planets that might have intelligent life are too distant for anyone from them to visit us.

Answer 5

Yes, I did, indeed. For, I once astutely staged a flying saucer landing during a night in the countryside while my mother went to alert our neighbors of the event.

It happened 30 years ago while UFO's stories were say, trendy, and it just intended to be a joke, initially. But the farmers, our neighbors, really believed "martians" had landed in their field and one was so afraid that he attempted to go back home to pick up his shotgun and shoot at me and my flying saucer. It was my mother who got panicked that time and she had to convince this old farmer that the "martians" were known to have devastating weapons. She didn't dare to tell them the truth because, given the ensuing course of the events, she was afraid the farmers could feel they had been fooled and offended.

We never dared to tell them the truth, eventually, and rumors about our UFO's landing on the hill nearby spreaded miles around.
Those farmers are dead of age today. But they believed in the "litlle green men" during all the rest of their lives.

Oh boy, such a story. How fun it was.

Answer 6

As a child I thought I saw one once. I woke up one night and thought I could hear a noise outside, kind of like a vacuum cleaner!
When I looked out the window, I saw something which seemed to fly above the houses opposite, oval in shape with light glowing from it, it moved quite slowly for about 30 feet and then disappeared.

I don't have a clue what it was but as a child I was convinced it was a UFO.

Answer 7

Nope. I've got a very good photo of one, though! But I didn't see anything when I took it - it was a picture of Nipper, the HMG dog, in Bristol. When I downloaded the image, there was a very distinct saucer shaped object hovering in the sky in the background!

I was tempted to send it off to Fortean times or publish it on the web and become famous, but I went back to the scene, stood in the same spot, and it was obvious that what I was seeing was an over-exposed street lamp - the supporting post was just washed out against the bright background and the light itself was distorted (I had used a camera-phone still set to indoor mode)

It is still fun to show it to the gullible and watch their reaction!

Answer 8

A flying saucer as in ufo? Not in real life but in videos, though, I've seen plenty of them.

Answer 9

while my sister and i were playing out in the back yard it got dark, and my dad came out to get us. We all looked up and saw a round object with a light that kept going around the bottom of it in a sort of circle fly by faster than any aircraft could at that time, and what seemed like a few seconds later we went into the house, and found out two hours had passed. Really weird.

Answer 10

Yes everytime my father walks drunk into the kitchen and my mother is having tea, she lauches a saucer at him.
Therefore I have seen a flying saucer.

Answer 11
