I don't have any just yet, but I'm bound to sometime since I live 20 miles away from a very active air force base.

The weirder the better!

I saw a UFO once when I was in Vegas. Unfortunately I was on my way back to LA and I was driving and I couldn't stop on the interstate as they were working on it. sic! So I yell to my mom: "grab my camera and take a pic, quick!" Unfortunately with no photography background what so ever, she didn't get it. but man, that thing was exciting. Just like every other story you hear about them. very bright, ultra fast and then just disappears. crazy! I luv em though.

I've learned that most UFOs are seen really far from any institutions of learning. :)

You have to be out in the middle of an Iowa cornfield. That way when they stop to refuel (accidentally squashing your crops----but in a cool design) you can get a good picture.


Thank you. bw!

Beam me up! So where are the photos? Spent 47 years traversing many lonely Nevada highways to the tune of about 1500 miles/week. Traveled the infamous Nevada Extraterrestial Highway at least once a week. No spacecraft, nor little green men. Actually these guys are termed Extraterrestial Biological Entities, to distinguish them from "aliens" from the country south of us. Sure, had some "UFO" sightings, but without exception when they came closer were known military aircraft. My opinion, even IF intelligent beings from another planet have conquered traveing faster than the speed of light, we are a insignificant plant circling an insignificant star on the fringes of our galaxy. So I repeat, where are the photos?

I've seen tons of UFOs. I've even seen a few honest to God spacecraft.

Of course, the UFOs were UFOs simply because I couldn't identify them. If I were to spend the time to learn aircraft types, I'm sure I would see many fewer UFOs.

And the spacecraft were all ours (meaning built by humans for human use).

I did see the infamous "mysterious lights over Phoenix," a favorite of UFO afficionados. Yes, I couldn't identify them. However, I really do not believe they were all that mysterious. For example, they passed right over Luke Air Force Base, visible to everyone, yet Luke failed to send up a single fighter to investigate. Think maybe they were in on it to some degree?

See what I mean?

Still, this guy (umm, or alien space creature) was a really good rider. Had no problem keeping up with me when the going got rough.

:cool:

Damn...I wish I could post something to share in this thread.
I dont have anything that's saucer shaped, far enough away, motion blurred, out of focus, underexposed, noisy or bright enough for it to be a UFO.

Sorry.

Haha.. Yeah.. that's why I posted here. It's kinda funny how with the advent of current technologies in cameras, there's a lot fewer reports of UFOs.
