Who has seen a U.F.O before..?

[truckinik]

Hey, anyone here, ever seen, or think they might have seen a U.F.O. before..?

I was driving through Montreal one day a few years ago in my tractor trailer. Off in the distance I saw a funny shaped vehicle, move at ridiculous speed, off the horizon and straight up into the clouds.

I was close enough to see it wasn't an everyday kinda thing. It wasn't a chopper, or a jet. It was definately something different but I don't know what..

Did it appear to be made out of tinfoil and shaped like a hat?

Yeah, and I ain't gonna last long. Drove to Mom's and visited then returned -- 300 miles at avg of about 75 or so. Good run for the E320 but I'm looking forward to early beddy-bye.

For sure... My two friends and I were teenagers going to another guys house to wait and scare him in the woods. His house was about 10 minutes away and he was supposed to be home 30 minutes later. We were driving and my friend said 'do you see that? An orange ball that was bright but really small immediately appeared MUCH closer and then got really bright then disappeared. We kept going but we were all in shock but the usual adolescent machismo bravado prevailed and we tried to laugh a little about it. We arrived at the guys house without looking at our watches but he had already arrived and gone to bed. We were almost 40 minutes late from what should have been a 10 minute drive. We all freaked out and went home and never talked about it again. That is the truth.

I actually feel much better now thanks to that 'confessional'. Due to the anoniminity (spel chek???) of this forum, I told someone (actually many) about it which feels like a weight lifted. I was going to go to bed but decided to type this first because I felt relieved having spoken about it after 15 years. Thanks for starting this thread truk...

Yeah a lot of people think it's a bunch of garbage. After having witnessing whatever it was that I saw that day, in broad day light, how we could possibly be the only ones on the planet, let alone the universre and beyond. No problem Mil. I was kind of afraid of getting a really negative reaction from everyone with this thread, and knew for sure I'd catch some flak over it. I don't care anymore though. Whatever it was I saw, I know I wasn't the only one who saw it, and I'm nowhere near the first or last person this will happen to. Very touchy subject. Even more sensitive than religion, and a whole lot more touchy than religion etc.

I have never seen one but give all the sightings that have been reported, it seems rather arrogant and foolish to think they are all false. Some of the people who have seen 'UFO's are pilots, and the like who one would think have a fairly good grasp on what is up there.

Wow, Those are cool. That was very similar to what I saw, only when the thing took off, it went pretty much straight up into the clouds at similar speed to that. The thing about it was that it was not on video, and I was hardly the only one who saw it all. It was broad day light like that, and we were about the same distance away from it. I'd cry camera tricks, if I hadn't seen it in person for myself. That can't be man-made, I don't care what explanation anyone tries to give for it.

We were camped at the mouth of Jasper Canyon on the Green River a few years ago and about 6am something came down the sidecanyon flew low over our tents and out into the main canyon. It sounded like a fast plane about 6 feet long. Heard independently by about 6 people but we were all in our tents so no one saw it. It was gone by the time we scrambled out. No explanation for what it was. Military drone decided to give us something to think about???

I have seen a few things in the sky that left me wondering...but I am not expert so I'm not going to say one way or the other.

After having talked to a few old salts with tons of ocean miles, there are some strange things out there, things that you just can't explain. Its a big world.

The strangest thing I have ever seen, was most certainly man made. It happened last year. For about 45 minutes a C130 was doing some crazy crap. Flying so low at points I was sure it was going to crash, buzzed my house so low I thought we were in trouble! Did some crazy turns, you could hear the engines throttle up and down, crazy crap. The next day everyone was talking about WTF that crazy was doing. The strange thing was all my Sikorsky and Coast Guard group LIS connections, guys that should/do know all about it, were silent. Someone told them to shut up, because all of a sudden no one knows anything. That plane was in Sikorskys air space, BS they knew all about it. Group LIS as well.

I saw 'Flying Soucers' on occasion, when I was still married ....
