Yes, at least I never identified it. Being in the Tucson sky it could have been anything in the Air Force stable. What it was was fast. Climbing straight up faster than any thing I'd ever seen before or since. No sonic boom though.

In Cambodia, I was having a happy pizza when this large flying saucer came up from the river and asked me for a slice. But it was actually a clam, and it spoke Russian, and I knew Russian because I studied it in high school for a few years, but it was hard to understand its accent as I never actually traveled there. His name was Boris, and he didn't like my pizza.

Lots. I used to work out in CA's Antelope Valley by Edwards Air Force Base, Plant 42, Boeing, Lockheed and all those facilities. I saw lots of aircraft in flight that I couldn't identify, especially at night.

But if you mean aliens when you say UFO, then no.

Lived in the Hudson Valley in NY in the 80's and early 90's. Saw a lot of weird crap back then.

Yep, driving home in Nowhere PA and there was a series of lights that maneuvered faster than I thought possible. It was no EMT helicopter and I have never seen a military operation where they only sent up one. It darted left, right, then zipped away QUICK.

I'd be afraid of eating anything tagged with the word "happy" in Cambodia.

"UFOs" often tend to be secret military jets. Remember those trianglular alein ships that made no noise and move slowly through the sky?

That later seemed to look alot like stealth bombers?

Grew up there...thats where I saw them.....over the Hudson River.

I lived in Somers and Brewster. Saw some weird stuff for sure. Thinking back I am not sure what it was all about but there was definitely more than one occasion I saw or experienced something weird.

A group of friends and I, when we were kids, decided to sleep out on my friend's backyard patio, which didn't have a roof covering it. Unbeknownst to us, there was a meteor shower going on that night. So we were all in awe, with our eyes to the sky, watching the meteors appear and disappear in an instant, in seemingly random locations.

While looking for these things, I noticed a group of slow-moving lights, appearing to be in formation, moving from right to left across the sky. They were very distant, and feint, and when I tried to point them out to my friends, they weren't able to locate what I was referring to. I saw no blinking lights, and don't recall hearing any jet noises.

I didn't give it much thought, until a couple years later, at that same friend's house, where I was at that night, had this Time Life Books collection "Mysteries of the Unknown". It was in one of those volumes, about UFO's, that I saw a photo of exactly what I saw that night.

So for me, that's been my only UFO encounter that I can recall, but it was pretty interesting.

yup a couple of times. nothing recent.

first one was driving home from work @ about 5:30pm. saw a glowing silver in color orb shooting across the sky from west to east and a moderate altitude, there were some high altidude clouds and this thing was under them. it was by no means a shooting star, not tail and wrong color. this thing was fucking fast, faster than any military jet i have ever seen fly even at supersonic speeds. i lost it over the horizon.

second time was in my back yard @ around 1am. i was watching the night sky and saw a "cluster" if you will with about 8 points of light along with 3-4 more trailing behind it going south really slow but definitely moving. this cluster was HIGH up there im talking orbit because when i first saw it i thought it was a satellite. my wife and I watched it for about 5 min wondering wtf it was and ill be damned if it tuned left.... that was fricken cool. sorry but satellites do not turn nor do they travel in clusters.

**Edit: humm OCnewbie maybe we saw the same object.

Yes, I did. About 1988-89 I saw this weird looking airplane type thing that I've never seen before. Years later I saw the F-117 and realized I saw it flying before.

Yeah, when I was a kid a bunch of us were coming home from a swim meet when the driver of the van suddenly stopped. We all got out an he pointed at something in the sky.

It was much brighter than a star, and was moving strangely. It sort of zigged and zagged before speeding off at what seemed like a tremendous speed.

I'll never forget it; it's as clear in my mind as if it happened yesterday.

Yes, over Palos Verdes Peninsula. It was a green orb, thought it was a flare at first. Hung in it's spot for about 20 seconds then disappeared West over the ocean at a really fast speed. I've had other people from this area tell me they have seen similar.

ps this is just that UFO = Unidentified Flying Object, not necessarily that you believe it was aliens right?
