Ask around if folks have ever seen something they can't explain. And for those more experienced in this forum, I would hold their observations in higher credence. Me? I ain't got nothin. | I have one unexplained sighting. I was working tower in Chatham New Brunswick in the late 70's . To the west of the base is 109 miles of trees no towns etc . I saw a bright light in the west at a med altitude , I followed it for a while with the binoculars and it was erratic , so I called down to aerodrome or terminal Radar asked if the were painting anyone to the west and they weren't , being a Norad base I had direct lines to 22 Norad and the local heavy radar site , I called the local heavy radar guys asked them to check to the west and got the same answer. Ditto for Norad . I had the QRA pilots confirm seeing it as well as controllers but we were all reluctant to fill out a CIRVIS report(COMMUNICATIONS INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPORTING VITAL INTELLIGENCE SIGHTINGS) . , but I had at hand the best resources you could want . What it was I don't know

Country:  | Just your imagination Pb. Or so most would say. I won't profess UFO = extraterestrials. But something is going on where airline pilots, military pilots and others with a credible aeronautical background are seeing phenomena that unexplained.

Country: | When in my teens while lying in bed looking out the window at the sky (full daylight) I saw something similar to this pic. Now this pic isn't what I saw be it is very close. Even then I knew there wasn't anything that could do this.

Country: | Gotta think three dimensions, njaco. Easily could have been an Immelman.

Country: | You know, after all these years I never thought of that. Just stuck with my teenage impression. But now that you said that.....
But another dimension was the speed. Incredible even at the height it was. The pic I posted is just an impression. The actual object was - I'm guessing - near outer atmosphere. It was a pinpoint really with a vapor trail that turned on a dime at a terrific speed. But I do have to think in 3 dimensions.

Country: | I too once thought I saw a UFO. I was a kid (who was immersed in planes) and saw an object from atop a hill. It was coming towards me all lit up, no sound. As it got closer it had the appearance of spinning from right to left (counterclockwise), flat and lit up on the edges.
As my mind started to formulate what it might be, the aircraft flew over me. It was a biplane with a scrolling LED sign on the lower wind repeating "Eat at Chan's" or some such BS. Only then did I hear the whine of the radial engine.

Country: | I had almost the same thing happen to me.
1982 and I was on my way to the shore at about 5 in the morning. As I drove through the back bay areas in the rising sun I saw the wierdest aircraft I had ever seen, at literally tree-top level. Real inconventional looking, so much so that I thought that the Russians were actually attacking. The two jets flew over head and I could clearly see the white star on the side which eased my fears but I was curious about what the #ell kind of US aircraft that was.
It was the first time I saw an A-10.
