UFO's.. I'm a little less skeptical now !

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I've never been a believer in UFO's but I must say Imay have witnessed one.

Last Saturday night as I left the farm and was headed to town I saw a bright light in the sky. It was just getting dark enough out that the first couple of stars were now visible. The light ,to describe it looked just like a headlight from an automobile. Same color and just a bright light. I was traveling west about 65 MPH and it was moving right along with me I'm guessing about 5 miles out. It was moving just a little faster than I was and then slowed down to where I was passing it. I really didn't think much of it. I just figured a chopper or something even though I've never remembered seeing that type of light on an aircraft.

So I focus back on the highway for a second and take a glance out the passenger side window. When I look back to the left looking for the light it was about a mile ahead of where I viewed it 10 seconds earlier. It just sat there and I caught back up to it. I thought jesus christ, that ain't right. All of the sudden that thing took off away from me at about a 45 degree angle and was gone. I watched it as it got farther and farther away the light grew smaller and dissapeared. This thing had to have gone 50 miles within 10 seconds. This was NOT a regular aircraft with a distorted view or something . This was SOMETHING! Military ? I don't know? There was no sound or vapor trail. I will remember this the rest of my life.

Some of this stuff is beyond explanation. I don't know if there are little people with bug eyes that are a 1000 years more advanced than we are, but your stupid if you believe that Earth is the only planet in the entire universe that sustains intelligent life. The universe is too big and we're only able to see a tiny bit. I just don't believe that we are that lucky to be the only life sustaining planet. The odds say there are many, many, more. We just don't have the means to find out and explore. Hell we're still blasting away at our own moon trying to find water. With that said alot of these stories are a load of horse (hog if you prefer) shit.

It was probably just a star guiding you east to Washington to adore the new president.

I love the fact that UFO's and Aliens have eluded humankind for thousands of years. No technology can capture them, but grainy footage and farmer's reports. Bleh. Whatever. I guess that's why ghosts are so popular. .01% of the entire earth have seen them, so they must be real!

For this I think I'd need to carry my Model 95 Barrett.

It's always been my argument against SETI (search for extraterristrial intelligence). A stronger culture meets a weaker one - what happens?

One should never poke a rattlesnake, imo.

I used to think this, too.

But then I realized that our only reference for this belief is our selves. We can only refer to what one HUMAN culture has done to another HUMAN culture.

Let's face it, historically as a whole, we are pretty ****ing shitty creatures to those of our own that are "different" or "weaker".

In this case, let us assume that they exist (ET's). If a species of them exists, and we exist, then it is plausible and likely that at least one other intelligent species exists as well. So, let us assume now that there are at least 2 intelligent life forms that can watch us whenever they want. Why would they destroy us, what have they to gain? Odds are that one of those 2 other life forms is weaker than the other, and we are weaker than the weaker of the two, so if they wipe us out, then the weaker of the 2 doesn't have anything to point at laugh to feel better about themselves.

Kind of like how in my hometown us lower class people make fun of the hill billy type people. Without them, we would feel pretty bad about our lives.

After seeing what I saw you would defenitley become a believer.

It's called space junk! Things that are left in outer space and comes back in this atosphere, after years of rotating in outer space. I saw some years ago, and was shocked until i did some research on it.

You dipshit ! This was not space junk. space junk doesn't sit in one place and then take off like a bat out of hell. I have night vision goggles and watch satelites and shit all the time. This was not space junk!!!!! Idiot!!!!

[Braincase]

I believe you saw something you couldn't identify. It may have been experimental military aircraft, it may have been something else.

Your thread starter sounds just like a million other interviews i've watched & read...avowed skeptic says 'never thought i'd say this...'

The best part, is that so many of those observers are eminently qualified observers...pilots military & civilian, astronauts, police, foreign defense ministry officials, American defense officials of the highest rank, air-traffic controllers, ad finitum.

You know it when you see it...

I agree with you HF. What you described sounds precisely like what I saw years ago when I first moved to Denver. I was sitting at an intersection late one afternoon when I saw a bright light in the sky. It just hovered there for a moment and I first thought it was a helicopter off in the distance, but even the best pilot in the world couldn't keep that vehicle as stationary as this one was.

Just like that, it took off in some serious warp speed and disappeared into thin air. I sh*t you not, just as soon as it left, a Denver news chopper flew past me as though it saw the same thing I did and was investigating it.

What I saw wasn't a trick to the eye, it wasn't some natural light formation, or anything. I told a few people and they all reminded me that Colorado is home to a lot of military sites, so I just shrugged it off.

I honestly don't know if it was a UFO. I do know for a fact that it was something I've never seen in my lifetime, and that to me is about as close to a UFO I'll likely ever get.
