It was unidentified when I saw it. Later I found out about ball lightening and I'm 90% sure it must have been that. I still feel pretty special for being able to observe such a rare phenomena though. Anyone else ever seen ball lightening?
 
Sure, UFO's in the strict sense that there's something in the sky and you're not sure what it is. But UFO's as in alien space ships... just no, this isn't Doctor Who. :p

Yeah, I know, I've never seen aliens.. but the OP is asking about UFOs, which I have seen :p
 
If you think you saw A UFO i can guarantee you it was not an alien spacecraft but probably one of the several numerous other explanations for the object in the sky.

If someone actually saw an alien spaceship flying around you think someone would get a photo that didnt turn out to be a fake or something else.
 
Xanikk,

You cannot definitively state that and you know it. There are some pictures that have not turned out to be fakes, and they're very rare but they exist.

I don't necessarily believe that a UFO = aliens. But i know I saw something that defied any explanation I could offer.

I see UFOs all the time, especially at night. Are any of them from another planet? Who would want to spend their time watching us? Bored anthropologists who want to study a hopelessly backward civilization? Not likely...

Back in the 90s, I once saw a UFO hovering over Central Park after other people looking up started pointing at it. It looked like a metal sphere and may be the same as the one featured at this website.

I suspect it is a surveillance craft of some sort.

The simple fact of the matter is, as Formaldehyde points out, regardless of the argument of whether or not aliens exist and so on and so forth, assuming that they do and have the capability to reach us, why would they want to? Personally, I do think that aliens exist as a matter of pure reason considering the size of the universe, but I highly doubt they have ever visited Earth, or would have any reason to do so in the near future.

If humanity went out into the stars and found a planet with alien life the first thing we would do is study it. If it wasn't habitable and useful, we'd study it a lot. Scientists like to study things. Why wouldn't alien scientists study us?

I'm not saying that you should believe in UFOs, but that's a pretty lousy reason not to. And who knows maybe alien scientists are even more dull and dry than human ones ;).
 
That's all I have to say.

Gelion,

Dunno if you knew, but there is movie being developed called Earth Defense Force

X-Com's Original Title was Earth Defense Force.

God that was a good game

That really begs the question. If other civilizations are indeed so rare, they likely would study us a lot and be quite curious about our behavior and development. But that would also mean there are an incredibly few highly developed civilizations which are even capable of interstellar flight. The odds of them finding us would be quite miniscule unless it was a huge coincidence.

So I think that argument does hold a lot of weight. Either civilizations are relatively commonplace so there would be no real reason for them to visit us, unless were are somehow odd or we very accessible compared to other primitive civilizations. Or they are so incredibly rare that the odds of them even finding us approach zero as a limit.

But either way, I remain a skeptic. Until there is some real proof of their existence, I am going to continue to think they are the fabric of imagination instead of reality.

Thanks man, that is some good news! I read this article and got a little less anxious. I wish they stuck to the original story. There are lots of fanfic books on the game, take any and you'll win! ;)
 
I'm not sure what it was. It flew past my head so fast I couldn't tell. Her aim was never that good.
 
Do I believe that there is life outside of our solar system? - Absolutely yes. I find it silly and bizarre to believe otherwise.

Do I believe that there is intelligent life technologically superior to us? - Absolutely yes. Can't see why not.

Do I believe in extraterrestrials visiting us/UFO's? - Absolutely not. What are you, crazy?

Yeah it was but man, I spent so much time just manufacturing weapons to sell to keep my entire operation afloat.
 
I cannot identify many of the objects I see in the sky, thus I have seen many UFO's in my lifetime.

Have I seen the alien equivalent regarded as skeptical? No. But, the question asks for any UFO and because of this I say yes.
