Have you ever seen a UFO?
Discussion
As per the title really, have you ever seen a 'UFO'?
Not looking for people to respond to put other people down or call bulls
t, people know what they've seen, just leave it at that. I'm just interested in hearing peoples stories.
Personally I've seen 2 unusual events, firstly in the summer of either 2000 or 2001 walking across a field with a friend when he spotted a black object very high up, probably around 70/80,000 ft and moving I'd say around 3 or 4 times as fast as a commercial aircraft, I've always thought of this to be some sort of military aircraft possibly an experimental one, I'd have described it as very 'SR-71' like, however these were retired from service in about 98/99.
Secondly, driving back from a meal late one night in 2011 with a girlfriend when over to the right hand side there was a light probably about 400ft up and then another light shot down to the ground from it and then bounced back up to it, this light then roughly followed the road we were going home on, but would go out then appear again and suddenly shoot ahead very quick then stop and disappear again etc, very unusual behaviour.
Also not seen but heard something a little unusual last year when outside talking to a neighbour a very loud booming noise that seemed to come from very high up and sounded distant, not many other houses around the area as I'm in the middle of rural Wales.
I'm very open minded about these things, but I'd put my experiences down to some sort of human related activity probably military, but remember that 'UFO' relates to anything 'unidentified' it doesn't mean aliens, but on a side note personally I think it's almost impossible for there not to be other intelligent life out there given the sheer scale of the galaxy alone never mind the universe! It's just that the distances involved are so mind-bogglingly vast that it's hard to imagine any way of being able to travel them in a reasonable time, but this isn't to say that some advanced civilisation has worked around these in a way that may seem unimaginable to us, just as things we can do nowadays would seem impossible to people living only 100 years ago.

Goldsworth Park, Woking, mid-90's - around 10:30pm, me and a mate (~16 years old) just sitting on a bridge over lockfield drive watching an oval shape with lights around it above us. Both stone cold sober. No idea what it was...
This is the type of thing I'm talking about, things that people have seen that are just downright weird and hard to explain, especially when more than one person has just seen it.A couple of months ago I was lying on a hammock in the garden watching the perseid metor shower, and just glanced through a tree and probably around 30 degrees above the horizon a bright light changing colour and moving about the place a little, I jumped up and then it hit me straight away that it was quite obviously Sirius I could see, but to someone with little knowledge I could see how they could mistake that for UFO.

It was a Trident test
That'd be pretty damn cool to watch! Would have imagined a Trident missile to be moving a lot quicker than that though, although it's hard to judge the speed from that video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu7mNmqJJ10&sn...
