@withawhy,
Bit boring realy...Travelling to Portugal by camper with my wife and kids..Long stretch of road ,trees either side..bored..bored..What i can only describe as a dark pronounced shape, large without an outline pass my line of vision about 500 yards in front of me.. As i came to the point of it passing me i looked into the valley where it might have gone expecting a plane or i dont know what...I was not suprised not see anything a trick of the light or tired i thought but my son enquired what was i looking for...he thought he had seen black object cross our path at great speed...maybe it was a trick of the light but ive never seen anything like it before or since..

@withawhy,
This might not be a better story, but I'll contribute here anyway. Years ago living in the country I saw a reddish light in the sky make an impossible move. The light was probably a little larger than a star. I saw it moving slowly one direction, then appearing to make a sudden 90 degree turn in another direction, at higher speed. If it was a solid object & there were living beings aboard, they would have been killed by the g force acceleration. So I concluded it was either an unmanned object or not an object, possibly a reflection of something.

@withawhy,
I was at my friends house one night and his living room window faces out over a valley its a really great view and I was just looking around when I noticed an unusually large light on the horizon. I was looking at it for a minute or so then I turned away for a second and when I looked back it had disappeared.

Now the sky didn't have a cloud in the sky and the light didn't move for a sufficient enough time to rule out it being a plane, or of it being blocked out by a cloud.

It was a fair distance away, probably 2 miles so...

who knows

@withawhy,
(I just typed out a long reply, but the forum software deleted everything I'd typed, because I'd logged in again since starting to read this thread yesterday. What an annoying bug! I'll have to start again, from memory.)

Only once (apart from a rapidly moving green light I couldn't identify, one night towards the end of last year.)

I scribbled out some notes of my observations, but did nothing with them - expecting neither to be believed by anyone else, nor to be able to make any sense of the observations myself.

I drew a rough sketch map of the night sky, as seen shortly before 1 a.m. on Tuesday 1 August 1989, somewhere in England. (I failed to note where, but I could still ask the guy I was on holiday with.)

It shows 3 faint "stars", all apparently moving at absurdly high speed along the same "apparent straight line or gentle curve", possibly a great circle around the Earth, passing along the three points at the top of the W of the constellation of Cassiopeia.

For some reason, I have marked that there was an apparent angle of 40 degrees between Epsilon Cassiopeiae (the star at the top left) and the apparent centre of the visible sky at the time.

Of the three "stars", #2 was moving to my right along the orbit (as seen with the W of Cassiopeia upright in my field of view), and #1 and #3 (see note below) to my left.

My scrawled handwritten notes read, word for word, as follows:
Quote:
All seemed to go at about the same speed.
Very roughly, I estimate that while I was calling for John, No. 1 covered about 80 degrees of arc in about 40 seconds.
This means that if it was orbiting the Earth, it was doing so once every 3 minutes, therefore it would have been travelling at over 500,000 miles per hour! So it cannot have been an artificial satellite, as I had at first thought. (But I had been astonished at its speed, and its visibility.)
Nos. 2 and 3, travelling in opposite directions, appeared at about the same time, shortly after John arrived. It seemed entirely possible that No. 3 was No. 1, on its second time around the Earth - the gap between their appearances seemed roughly compatible with their speed of motion across the sky.
They all looked like faint stars, of about the same apparent brightness. They did not at all look like aircraft. They appeared to move in straight lines, or very smooth and almost straight curves - indeed they all seemed to follow roughly the same path, as shown above.
Could I (and my companion on the holiday) have simply misinterpreted the passing of three aircraft on the same flightpath? Can an aircraft flying high enough to be completely silent cover 80 degrees of arc in 40 seconds?

@Twirlip,
I have no idea friend , the subject on occassions goes beyond our normal reasoning and we are unable to make a logical conclusion of our experience. All we can its unidentified. I have friends with stranger stories that can only make you laugh with disbelief but they insist on their aunthenticity. Who knows? not I

Then if you cant define ordinary or even define define , then you cant define extraordinary.

I've never seen a UFO but I do believe that in a universe so vast that we are probably not the only ones in it.

Caroline no ones claiming aliens or denying them, I am certainly not. The word unidentified means just that. If you let your imagination loose they could be from the future , unknown phenomena..anything.
