Have you ever had a UFO/UAP experience?

[ClonesTwenty1]

Anyone else ever have at least one UFO/UAP experience before? I know some people will probably come in this thread and scream “tin foil hat!” But matter of fact the universe is much too large for us to be the only half way intelligent life.

Anyways, my story goes back to about 2011. Buddy and I were just hanging out one night probably was 12:30AM or so when we walked to the back deck to let my dog outside. Right as we walk out I look up and there is the brightest white light I have ever seen just above the tree line hovering that stretched all the way down behind the neighborhood houses. In a blink of an eye it shot up and was gone. Just gone like that. The whole experience made me feel strange as I couldn’t explain what the hell I just saw. I can’t really describe what it was other than just a circular bright ass white light. A light that wouldn’t be a drone or anything close to that as it was just way too bright and extraordinary. And a drone wouldn’t shoot off that fast and just disappear into what seemed thin air. Thankfully my friends and family are open minded and didn’t think I was a lunatic telling them about the experience. Actually once I mentioned the experience a lot of other friends and family shared some of their experiences as well.

Doesn't count if you didn't get anal probed

 

[CloneIce]

No, but I wish I had one.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

No, but I wish I had one.

Haven’t had one since. It’s something I’ll never forget that’s for sure. Remember it like it was yesterday.

Bad timing on the response lol

Time for a C-Willy Denver Airport story.

New years eve 2000/2001 at my aunt and uncles house north of cedar rapids, all of us cousins are down stairs with all of the dogs when they start going nuts barking and growling all out the back windows, freaks all of my cousins out and they go running upstairs. I stay and try to figure out what's going on and see this blue orb light out a ways in the fields. it shoots into the sky gone and the dogs calm down. Then during highschool I find a YouTube compilation video of different UFO tapes and see one from the same night and timeframe as my experience but in rural Japan somewhere of another blue orb doing the same thing.

No, because I can’t see things that don’t exist.

They sure as hell exist.. somewhere, sometime. They may or may not have been here during the tiny tiny sliver of our planet’s history that humans have been here. They may or may not be capable of interstellar travel (we are not capable yet).

But of course intelligent life exists elsewhere. It’s ridiculous to believe otherwise.

Multiple but only one that really shook me.

Go on….

Easy there Caitlin...

Given there are hundreds of billions of stars in our own galaxy, and there are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the universe, the math shows there must be other intelligent life somewhere.

Whether or not they have the capabilities to spot and find our very little planet, let alone travel from such great distances, is another question

Two for me. First wasn't that weird in the moment, just a "string" of lights in the sky moving in formation over Lake Erie - I'd say 4-5 dozen orange lights moving through the night sky 30' minimum spacing up to probably 50 yards at the greatest (which is why i think multiple small craft and not one larger one). If it wasn't for the number of lights I'd have been convinced it was planes. It wasn't until I learned Erie is a "no fly zone" as a show of good faith between US and Canada that the experience became truly strange (as opposed to a little weird) in my mind.

Second was far more intriguing. Must've been the summer of 2010/11. I was working as a flat roofer for my summer job and work had been canceled for the day as a series of thunderstorms were making their way through the area. Me and a pair of buddies met at on of their houses to fish for some bass on a private "lake" he lived on. We're out on the lake when a small thundercloud rolls by moving west to east to the north of our paddleboat - the kind of cloud that's dark and "heavy" and "looks like rain".

As the cloud passes and blue sky "emerges" behind it all of a sudden this large off silver/grayish object comes out the west side of the cloud moving towards the west.

It wasn't moving very fast at all, in fact I was really surprised at how this craft seemed to glide across the sky. My brain kept trying to tell myself it was just a "Mercy One air unit" (hospital with helicopter was about 1.5 miles to the East) - but the craft was larger than the small rescue helicopter, didn't move/look like a helicopter, wasn't the appropriate white/green color, and there was absolutely no sound at all (maybe a slight hum/buzz, but no rotor chop or plane engine noise).

My buddies and me all looked at each other in shared disbelief, finally I asked one of my buddies who had his flip phone on the boat to snag a picture. He opened his phone, pulled up his camera, and as he centered the craft for the shot - his phone turned off. Black screen, refusing to turn on again (he "disposed" of his phone into tackle box). With no ability to "record" the craft, we just watched it I'm silence as it drifted to the west (into the wind) for about 15-20 seconds and then boom it was gone - or at least that's how I always had remembered it. One last bit of strangeness, the non-functional phone, forgotten in the bottom of a tackle box after failing when we needed it the most - sounded/vibrated at receiving a phone call from my buddy's mother about 20-30 minutes after the "encounter", despite no further efforts to restore power to the phone in the time in-between.

Lately, I've been replaying the craft's departure in my mind's eye - what I've been able to recall is the craft didn't just "poof" and gone. It left as the craft Com. Fravor described - it emerged from the cloud in a "horizontal"/"flat" orientation, then as it advanced away from the thunderhead and moved west across the sky it "tipped forward"/"upright" and THAT is when it accelerated nearly instantly across the sky to the west and up towards the heavens.

It's been fascinating to myself, to be able to recall the detail of the craft's departure as information on the subject has come out; because previously I didn't have the words/context to describe how the craft left other than "poof" - because I've never seen a plane or a helicopter move that way in the sky before or since.

To this day I have a feeling the thunderhead and the craft were related - whether it was studying the weather, using the cloud as "cover", or "harvesting" energy from the cloud (my gut instinct).

Certainly an experience I will never forget.

May 2021: I took the whole family camping and trout fishing in NE Iowa to yellow river (little paint campground). It was probably around 10:00 in the evening. Our kids had already gone to sleep, and the wife and I were sitting around the campfire enjoying a couple of beers and looking at the stars.

We see a string of lights that started to move across the sky. Neither of us had ever seen anything like it at that time. If it was just one I would have thought it was an airplane, but there must have been 60 of them stretching across the whole sky in a perfect line. We were so confused. Aliens? Maybe Russia was invading?

We heard some nearby campers and walked over to see what they thought. They had never seen anything like it before either, and they were freaking out more than we were. The campsite is down in a valley, so nobody had cell reception and we couldn’t check the internet to see if someone crazy was happening.

Eventually some other campers came over and told us we had seen the Starlink satellites. It was good to know that there was at least an explanation for it, and we still laugh about it once in a while.

Starlink

Yeah, I said that in the last paragraph. At the time we knew nothing about it, so it was very weird to see.

I didn't read it all the way as soon as I realized what it was

I always find it funny that the assumption of if their is intelligent life out there, they are obviously WAY more advanced than us and can travel great lengths and be stealthy.

Why can't we be more advanced than then? Say they are humanlike maybe they have are more in the stone age for an example.

Or they're not even human-like and just more animal/mammal form.

Couldn't post it but like the credits clip from Don't Look Up when they land on 'Second earth' and it's a bunch of dino-birds that start eating the richies.
