In reply to the discussion: Have any of you seen a true-blue U.F.O. that you believe was extraterrestrial? [View all]Downtown Hound
(12,618 posts)I would venture sometime between 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Late enough to be fully dark but not so late that I wouldn't be walking to a friend's house.
Do I believe it was from outer space? I do not know if it was from outer space, another dimension, another universe, or whatever. The only thing I can say for certain is it did not seem like any craft humans have the capability of building with even our current technology today, more than 20 years later. As to where it came from, your guess is as good as mine.
It's color was pretty much black with a slightly greyish brownish tint to it. As I described in the other thread, when I first saw it I actually couldn't make out its shape. It looked like moving stars, which turned out to be electric lights, which, as it passed over and then beyond me, I could faintly make out the shape of a boomerang craft. But at first I couldn't make out its shape at all because it blended in perfectly with the night sky. I could only see the lights. As I previously said it was completely silent. It made no noise at all. That is something that every account I have ever read about them has confirmed. They are totally quiet, no engine noise at all. And no matter how fast they travel, they never seem to produce a sonic boom even when it seems they are breaking the sound barrier.
My gut feeling upon seeing it was pretty much along the lines of, "Holy shit! I just saw a damn UFO!" I stopped in the middle of the street and just watched it disappear into the distance. I don't remember how long I stood there, but I think I was in a state of shock. But it was probably for several minutes afterwards. That might not seem like a long time, but it is if you're just standing the middle of the road looking up at the night sky completely bewildered.
I did not tell my friends about it when I arrived at their house. I figured they'd just laugh at me. I did tell my mom about it when I got home later. She seemed a little skeptical but open minded. And that was pretty much it. I never really talked about it much or did anything else after that. As I mentioned in the other thread, I looked it up on the internet a number of years later, and to my shock discovered that many people have seen and described the exact type of craft I saw, and there's even pictures and video of it.
I don't talk about it much, but if people ask if I believe in UFO's or if I've ever experienced anything unusual, I tell them. I don't keep it secret. But at the same time, it's not something I put on blast either. It was a brief moment in my life that probably lasted less than 10 seconds. But it was enough to make me believe that there are things in this world that we do not know much about.
