No offense taken. I'm just posting this because it is real to me. If you look at the history of my posts you may take that as a strong statement on this posting as well. Thank you for looking and I hope you enjoyed seeing a real UFO for once.

I'm not here to be a silly person. More like to be informative. It's a foregone conclusion that there is ET behind some UFOs. Learning more about the ETs, the actual occupants is what I'm about. If you are a close minded person, a modern day the world is still flat thinker, then you are just wasting your time on such a forum. It's better to just dismiss subject matters like UFOs or aliens, and get into mainstream politics, current events or subject matters that you consider the norm.

Honestly you had fooled me. You have gone so far as to come into a thread and protested that people are speaking abut a recently deceased member. You complained nobody was talking UFO's. That's just being silly and nasty. You claim to be at the forefront, but you are not, your information is always rather old. As my sig suggests I feel we should move on, and stop putting old cases up on a mantle piece to worship, to me, a mystery is to be solved, not heralded.
It is not a forgone conclusions that ET is behind any UFO's it is a colorful assumption that the faithful make. All that is verified is that they are unidentified. If you wish to learn about the abundant camp fire tales, well, that seems more of a historical aspect to me. The phenomena is here and now. Marvelling at the wonder of others cannot ever achieve a forward momentum.
All you lot that say I am arrogant for not "opening my mind" are hypocrites. By definition. I place long posts wit many links and in depth information, only to have some ignorant so and so say I do not believe in science. I mean really, now that is silly! How do you qualify these people? Look around, even you have had to say Zoser is a bit over the top with his rocks! Synch has just faded into the background. Almost every good poster with a proponents view does, (which is why we all love Quillius for popping in when he can spare the time) and if it is not people like you and Zoser embarrassing them out of their belief, what else is it?
To me, you are the flat earther, Still stuck with marvelling at lights in the sky. Quillius is a believer who can debate with the best of them. The world has moved on from the fifties, we do not believe in little green Martians anymore, we go to Mars. That is why I think you are wasting not only your time, but mine, and everyone else's as well. Karl has made many posts illustrating the more popular cases. RIP. Surely you cannot be thinking you are presenting these instances for the first time for discussion here???? What do you expect to learn that everyone else has missed for the past half dozen decades? And from old convoluted stories that in many cases only exist in the press - entertainment!!
There is a good side to this phenomena. It pains me how many times I have recently mentioned the greats, like Sagan, Hawking, Kaku, Drake, Fermi, Dyson, Greene hell too long a list to keep repeating. To me that is the forefront of the search for new life, new glimpses of actual extrasolar planets, new experiments, reaching other worlds, the magic of Europa, the tantalising possibilities that might be revolving around Barnards star, the WOW! signal. The real world of ET, not the one that was created in 1950's sci fi. Kepler is actively searching out planets that could harbour life, we could have a breakthrough at any moment, but from the real people who understand ET, and do not confuse him with UFO's What you fail to mention above is that many UFO's have been identified, and not one of those identification has lead to space. You live in hope that the 1950 sci fi pop culture will become reality. You will say you do not, but look at your posting. It's all ohhing and ahhhing about ancient cases. Get with the times man. We have learned a great deal since the 50's. You claim to have a passion for seeking out ET, so why would my notably more academic approach to wanting to find other life offend you? Just because I do not believe all the old camp fire tales? Why not take the good and leave the bad - or you are actually serious about the search for other life? Or do you not wish to search, you want it to come to you? Be honest man!
Yes I cannot stand Pollies too. Like that numpty Fife Symington.
Hell, the US cannot be receiving exclusive traffic, and world Governments hate each other. Collusion and stealth are just not on the table in this day and age, and yes, there you go, polotics in ET. They make a US/ET conspiracy not a workable concept. I have asked you to explain that too, but it is yet another major point that ETH'ers just wish to overlook and pretend it does not exist. If you are serious, if you do have any information, then answer the burning questions, after all that is the point of a discussion forum. Just posting old stories to marel and make small individual comments upon is the role of a blog, not a discussion forum.

Gidday Ugly1

Cheers mate, it is refreshing to see people who have not made their mind up over something that needs some serious looking into. I am off the hope that we will get to see more pictures, and perhaps the video, I am sure they would be very helpful with generating some new ideas.

Good luck with the report, when I saw a UFO it was over an Airport, so at a suggestion, I reported to NARCAP. I found the people there a real pleasure to speak to.

Mate, great to have you on board, I hope you stick around, be good to have you on board. Welcome to UM.

Cheers.

I am starving for details. Please sir, I want some more.

I love talking about them!

I guess you could say I have seen 3 all up in my lifetime, but I am pretty convinced one was a satellite, I just need to one day plot my sighting on Heavens Above to see if I can work out which one. Quite enlightening that one, I was out camping with the Family and was out at night looking for Koala's with family and friends, on Mt. Byron in Queensland  and as I was wandering along, I looked up, and saw this white light moving, I stopped for a second, got my balance, and looked again, and I could have sworn the thing had to have turned 90 degrees and travelled a reasonable distance to a new location, and was not again drifting lazily in the sky.
Of course, being the sketpic I am, I did not believe myself. Luckily before I looked away, I plotted the location against 2 stars. I located them ,and realised I had shifted my postion without realising it. I moved back to where the stars lined up with my previous line of sight, and realised it was a straight line after all, and not quite the distance I thought it had travelled at first. That one I do not really include as I say, it is a satellite, just I do not know which one. I had actually almost fooled myself.

And when I was a child I was fishing with a friend and and saw a large orange glowing light over a small island I used to paddle out to in the river. It freaked me out quite a it, but it was virtually in the middle of Surfers Paradise so wondering why nobody else saw it prompted me to seek a solution, I do believe I saw a major flood light that is only used on occasion on a smaller island behind the one I used to paddle out to. I found out eventually that there is a house on the smaller Island that belonged to a local prominent business man. Sir Bruce Small. He had the odd function that most likely accounted for what I had seen. Hey, I was pretty young at the time.

But more recently, I was in New Zealand, Queenstown, and this is the one I reported.
My wife and I were sitting outside, very late at night, I had just been posting on UM with my phone in fact, when I went outside for a stiff Scotch and a Cigar - being on Holiday and all. I looked across the lake, even at night, an awesome sight, in the flight path where I would normally see planes, I saw a brilliant white/blue light (mostly white) streak across horizontally right toward the airport. The duration was seconds, but I would not have been more than 3-5 km's from the object, and it was probably not much higher than me, but I was on a Mountain at an approximate elevation of 2,000 meters. It moved very, very fast, and as I say, Horizontally, which really caught my attention. I turned to my wife who looked at me wide eyed and we both said at the same time "did you see that!!!" It began small, and built up in size I remember it being about half a thumbnail in size at arms length for perspective. Then as promptly as it appeared, it seemed to break up into little white balls, very quickly, and disappeared. (That is pretty much how it "suddenly appeared" to) Like they were peeling of from the front I guess, and vanishing quickly. Brilliant colour, very close to an airport, moving horizontally, very fast.
I reported it to Ted Roe at MARCAP, but unfortunately, they do not have a New Zealand presence at all.

But I completely believe what I saw was natural phenomena. Queenstown is on the same Island, but several hours drive from ChristChruch, This was probably about 3 months before they had their big Earthquake.


Just out of interest, you might like this story, my wife (told me one time after a couple of drinks) saw something large, and somewhat saucer like as a child, which slowly ambled across a dam she was playing at as a child, however, she feels she saw people on board and is entirely convinced what she saw was us in something she did not recognise. She actually scoffs, and raises an eyebrow when I suggested ET. To be frank, her recollection sounds vaguely familiar of Father Gill's case. But an orange glow as opposed to blue, she did have the portholes too. But her recollection of a craft is much bigger. She is a bigger skeptic than I though.

My Texas sighting will live forever in my mind,this is th eplace to let it all out right? Well as the years fade quickly into a blur Im reminded that Like all things we all must at some time loose that youth like memory . But Each year that trickles into a fuzzie haze I cannot forget the events. Its like Its Hard core burned into my Soul.
This is quite uneasing to me. Why ? Why is it today I can remember this like it was just hours old in front of me.
To say that it effected me is a understatement ! When you have done ,seen,been places all over this planet,and Been a techno - nut to boot,Very gifted in my travels,machines Ive been privie to play with,The years of machines in my life, I would still have to Say that there will Hopefully some day be an Event to Justify what I saw. I know It was not anything we could build, even for a few hundred years. Machines like what I saw cannot move like that.Nor nature. Even though Lighting Is really cool to watch we all know what that Looks like .
And It wasnt that fast.
I do Like to read the sightings of others,Some are quite similar to mine. But until they Land and Offer up some Joy rides Im still Looking Up!
But Dont Get in my Way If they Land I want the First Ride ! Even If they Eat me after we turn around the Sun and Head Back !

He told me the story, went to his friends Facebook page and pulled up the pictures of the craft. It was a UFO story with evidence behind it for once. Was very nice to hear. When he said "Do you wanna see a picture?", in my mind I was like OMGGOSHHHH YES!! In addition to that, I thought the picture was going to be some far off object twinkling or flickering like the phoenix lights video in a sense. I basically had my mind blown, haha.

[Chrlzs]

Ugly1, are you interested in following up on *your* sighting?  If so, I'd like to ask a few questions and do a little analysis..

And are you still going to be chasing this up with your brother and his workmates, or has this other sighting hit a dead end?

I am starving for details. Please sir, I want some more.

Again, I am glad you asked, last night, I was thinking about all this, and I remembered one sighting I had almost forgotten altogether. When I was an apprentice, we used to car pool to job sites, I was walking to the corner with a grumpy tradesman who was notably hung over, and whom I had just woken by bashing on his door.
As we walked to the corner to meet our ride, we walked in an eastward direction, toward to the Ocean, and I looked up and saw a burning ball of light. The funny things is at first, I was a bit worried, it looked like a doomsday asteroid, but as I walked along, it did not seem to drop. That may well have been the angle I was viewing it from though, but I swear it looked quite distant, like a burning ball in the sky, it was reasonably high up, I would guess from my perspective the angle would have been about 60 degrees, and if I held an arm at length, it would have been the size of a full thumbnail. Perhaps slightly bigger, but that might be memory enlarging it, I do fish as well I have nothing to gauge the distance upon, but it appeared to be well over the ocean, which I would hazard a guess at being at least 5 kilometers distant.
Again, I thought it was a meteor, but from my perspective way, way too slow. Really to slow. I would have watched the thing for a full 5 minutes I would say, no pics, this was when mobile phones looked like bricks. To this day, I do not really know what it was, but I do remember it being quite a bright orange.
I got to work, rather enthusiastic and told some co workers about it. They looked at me with a raised eyebrow, and I said "I have a witness!!!! Mark saw it too!" I turned to him, and said, that ball of light hanging in the sky this morning!!!!! I'm telling these blokes about it.
He looked across at me and said "What the hell are you talking about? I didn't see anything"
Which was rather frustrating. I asked him when walking home why he did that, he reckoned he got a laugh out of it.
I know what it feels like, to be ridiculed for a sighting, but I also learned a valuable lesson that day too. Proof is everything. Talk is cheap.

Damn, I had almost forgotten that!!!! Maybe even on purpose. I would have been about 24 at the time. Near 46 now.

I would like more people with genuine sightings to come forward. I suppose it might be hard when we have the silliness that is out there borrowing the credibility of those with some nouse in this area.

I never get sick of hearing about your sighting D. As far as I am concerned, your recollection is tenfold more interesting and believable than probably any publicly showcased claim. I think if there is something to the ET angle, that the ETH'ers are way, way of the mark, and sightings like yours are that elusive 0.001% we are all looking for. So many people are convinced that cases like Roswell are genuine, but I think they do not hold a candle to personal recollections. Not one such as yours.
Unfortunately, all of my experiences indicate natural phenomena to me. I would love to have an experience with some large silver airborne ship, but alas, not to be so far at least. But just as my experiences drive me toward Natural Phenomena as a solution, I understand that a sighting like yours would drive one towards seeking a technological solution, The experience is one that affects a person, no matter the source. Shame these wide eyed credulous fanatics flock to the phenomena like some sort of cult and damage it's credibility.

Indeed for all the years that have rushed by since,I will always stand strong on the knowledge that What I experianced was not of this world,Yes It was so amazing that I can even remember the exact tempature,smells,light all the instrument settings,All in such detail to this day.
If only I could see it again with say a few Hundred people by my side. This Is why psyche101 your going to get your tail to texas in the next few years and were going to Go out to West Texas & New Mexico and do a proper walkabout !
Then I can tell you more about The Aliens in this world !
Most are members of Unexplained Mysteries ! LoL. You know the ones !
Any who Were off to Durango Colorado too see my 16 yr old for parents weekend. Hit the Slopes I will,Do  I say, no Falling I say too ! Let the Force help you down the Slopes it will,The Force is Strong In Colorado it Is ! Da Da ta Da Da ta Da !

It seemed all your sightings were at night and involved some type of light. I don't blame you for believing it's some natural phenomena. I do hope you'll get to see these things in action during the day, Psyche. Hopefully it'll be amazing enough for you to  consider ET as a strong possibility. I know you would make one hell of an argument for us.

Psyche 101 has seen his UFO`s and We all look to the Stars at night for the chance to spot something of interest ,As for the argument part thats what keeps most people out of the fray ! But I too agree we need more people to come forward and tell there stories !
A sighting is that much closer to understanding the Mysteries !

Sure, we can talk about my sighting! It is nothing that is going to blow your mind.

I was driving to work heading due north of 259 just North of Nacogdoches Texas. I'd say we were about 12 miles north of Nacogdoches when I had seen a light in the sky twinkling. This light appeared to be about 3-4 times as big as the north star. I was riding in the passenger seat so I started looking around at the sky to see if any other stars were out as this just struck me as odd.  I glanced around to the east and southeast to see if any other stars were out and there were none at all.  I looked back at the light and maybe got to look at it for two seconds more tops, and then it blinked out.

When I arrived at work, I asked the other guy who had made it there before us if he had seen the UFO. He pointed to where it was from his perspective and verified he had seen roughly the same thing as me. He said instead of blinking out that it took off in a South Eastern direction. I did not see it shoot off to the South East. I just had seen it blink out. There one second, gone the next.  

The best way to describe my story was there was a twinkling light, I looked around for other stars to see none, looked back at the light and it blinked out.  If the object truly did take off in a South Eastern direction I missed that part. I do not have great vision and was not wearing my glasses so if it did take off in a south eastern direction I guess I missed it. It just simply vanished from my perspective.
