Have you ever seen a UFO?

I know people will just right this off but 27 years later its still clear, as if it happened yesterday. The way it moved was jaw dropping. I am 99.999% sure it had a faint red outline. The lights definitely didn't flash. For anyone to deny the existence of extraterrestrial life forms is just plain ignorant, simple as!
You're almost certainly wrong. Sorry 
But that's not an insult because the fact is, humans are absolutely terrible at remembering events accurately - even minutes after an event.
Remember that plane that crashed in San Francisco a few years ago? Pretty much all the eyewitness reports were found to be wrong when a video surfaced a few days later. We just can't do it. We're just too creative and inclined to storytelling to recall things accurately.

Human recall is wide ranging and interesting, some are good at it and others are terrible. However, if any evidence of extraterrestrial life forms visiting us is proven, so be it. I doubt they are but don't mind being proved wrong.

A good quote I keep recalling onHuman recall is wide ranging and interesting, some are good at it and others are terrible. However, if any evidence of extraterrestrial life forms visiting us is proven, so be it. I doubt they are but don't mind being proved wrong.
"When you remember a past event, you’re actually remembering the last time you remembered it, not the event itself"
A few years ago I was walking along looking up at a passenger jet flying high above leaving four vapour trails from its engines, from its right a silver ball flew through the vapour trails, looped back into the trails and followed the plane.
All over in seconds, proper 'did I just see that' moment.

Please update your thoughts on this one when you're done.
Tough reading. Factual, considered. It's a worthy read. For anyone accepting of the possibility of stuff in our sky under intelligent control not made on this particular planet it is a book to have on the shelf.
I blow hot and cold on UFOs, I'm going through a missing people phase right now. I bought all 5 David Paulides' Missing 411 books.
One thing nobody who thinks we are being visited by aliens seems to consider.......
Assuming that the amount of material floating round in the oort cloud is common to most/all stars...how do crafts travel fast enough to get here while navigating the random rocks and ice that occupy the areas between solar systems and interstellar space?...never has/never will happen

The Oort Cloud is only theoretical.
the thing is though, when looking at the physical trajectories of long term comets they have all come from a similar region of space, the outer limits of the sun's influence...something science refers to as the oort cloud. we can't see it but the strong evidence is there, strong enough that it is a brave man who would refute it's existence.............little green men in spaceships on the other hand........
I think the vast majority who saw a satellite or an airliner at 30,000ft would think, oh look, a satellite or an airliner.
However if, like Hilts above, you saw a huge black triangular craft moving silently and slowly, then you've seen an object that you most definitely can't identify because it appears at odds with the current aviation technology that we, the general public, are familiar with. Huge, silent black triangular craft have been seen regularly and by many for the last 30 years or so. And to stress the point about being at odds with current technology, they sometimes disappear over the horizon almost faster than the eye can follow having displayed no discernible acceleration from a standstill.
If you do a little research their existence can't be denied. IMHO they are a USA black project probably depending upon anybody seeing one to be written off as a UFO nutter. They appear to be very blatant about their visibility and the countries they hover over. Though they mostly come out at night, mostly . . .

I saw something that I can't explain just because it seems improbable.
In the late '80s I heard a jet engine and saw what I could only describe as a tomahawk type cruise missile flying overhead at a fairly low altitude. It banked slightly as it passed and it seemed to be following the main bypass road.
Not impossible I know but it seems odd that one would be flying over the Midlands.
