With the recent talks of UAPs because of the current events over the UK and New Jersey, I’d love to hear your experiences.
In the late nineties I saw what I thought was a shooting star, until it stopped mid fall, hovered in place for a few seconds, then suddenly accelerated (extremely quickly) to the right, before stopping again and immediately heading back in the direction it was originally headed. The direction changes were instantaneous, unlike anything I had seen before or since. I did live on the outskirts of a military base known for advanced weapons research though, so who knows what I saw.
I saw something similar as a kid in the 80s. I was in bed and turned around so my feet were against the window so I could look out at the stars. An object, brighter than the stars, was moving downward. It then stopped, shot across the sky, went up, back left, then abruptly rocketed to the right - east (thinking about it now).
I woke up my parents, but they told me to go back to bed.
This obviously preceded the advent of drones and was too fast and high to be a helicopter. I lived in St Pete, FL, which is across the water from MacDill Airforce Base. It’s possible that it was military, but how could anything from that era do this?
I’m 48. I still think about this.
I saw something similar as a kid. My buddy and I were walking back from a snack run in the early, orange evening and saw a bright light about midway from horizon to directly above, westish. We argued which planet it could be (both of us huge nerds) when we saw it get brighter, much brighter, then shoot off like a meteorite.
After debating it late that night, and wondering for months, I learned about atmospheric refraction and other phenomena that can mirror objects and lights, even ones on the ground. Even though it wasn’t a UFO, it sparked an appreciation for meteorology and physics at an early age.
Around 1991 on Intestate 5 in California. My mom liked to drive at night so me and my sister would sleep. Far in the distance there were some lights brighter than any vehicles on the road. As we approached it was clear they were above the road, but swinging back and forth perpendicular to the road. Kept getting closer and could see that it was three very bright round lights in an equilateral triangle, maybe only 50 feet above the road and still moving back and forth. I was very frightened as we passed under it, and I turned around and watched it until it was a tiny dot again the rear. It made no sound. It wasn’t an airplane.
Less than a year ago my cousin and I were sitting outside when we saw a green light in the sky slowly approaching us. There’s a small airport nearby, and it’s common to see light aircraft flying in the area, so we both assumed it was just a plane. The strange part was that it wasn’t making any sound at all, which made us pay closer attention to it.
It got pretty close to us, maybe half a mile away, when it suddenly stopped for a moment, made several rapid movements in a geometric fashion, and then disappeared behind a nearby hill (not the direction it came from). Neither one of us could explain what we had just seen. We’ve both lived our entire lives in this small town, but we’ve never seen anything like that.
Absolutely true story.
I was a latchkey Gen-X. Once, as a young teenager, I was sure I witnessed a UFO landing in my back yard. It was night in the fall, and I was alone.I was alerted to a sound like a giant vacuum cleaner. I looked outside and saw smoke and a big machine with lights, either in my back yard or neighboring field. It crept closer, and spun around. My heart was racing.
Then I realized it was a combine tractor in the neighboring field, harvesting cross at night. The smoke was dust from the harvest. That’s when I realized: Anything can be a UFO if you are bad at identifying things, and don’t realize it’s not flying.

I have not
No.
I saw what I think was a shooting star a few months ago in the night.
It flew not arched but straight.
I think it flew from horizon to horizon. Only catched it after 1/3 of the length so I don’t know for sure.
It was too fast for a man made object, because I didn’t hear anything and for it being too far away to not be hearable it would have been way too fast.
The light it shined was constant.
Have never seen a shooting star shine so constant and long and fly so straight.
This was 100-200km north of airbase Ramstein. I heard a few jets fly over and they were always loud.
2002, Driving at night, across farm fields with trees around. My buddy in the car.
A very bright blue light crossed my path maybe 20 yards ahead of my car and maybe 10 yards up. It was moving fast, illuminating the ground in a spot light way and hugged the terrain. I could see the shape of a dark fuselage but could not describe it at all.
If it was a helicopter or jet or even prop plane it was absurdly close to the ground, at night, with obstacles around. We could not hear what we would expect (as if it were a helicopter). We had windows down, radio off. We were just chatting.
I slammed on the brakes and my buddy yelled “of fuck” and put his hands out at the exact same moment I reacted.
We watched it zip over the treeline and horizon, any chance to hear whatever noise it made was covered by the windows down wind noise, and the slammed brakes and gravel. We stood in the bed of my truck hoping it would come back and trying to rationalize it for like, almost an hour. Eventually we convinced ourselves it must have been a helicopter but in discussion days/years later, neither of us buy that. I’ve seen footage of an Apache helicopter flying low at night, but this seemed even lower still.
I can’t claim anything about it other than it really freaked us out and was unlike any aircraft or drone I’ve been around since.
Are you the NYPD? If so, yes. The guy who shot that CEO? I actually saw him. With my own eyes, I saw him abducted by a flying saucer! It scooped him up in a beam of light and zipped away. No need to bother looking for him, he’s long gone. Light years away by now.
I once saw the moon… In front of the clouds.
I looked at my mom to tell her, and whe I looked back it was half the size and behind the clouds
no
I live in NJ; my friends keep saying they’re seeing them but I have not. I know someone that’s a cop near Princeton and they said there were 6 in the sky in that area just last night. Said they have instructions to detain anyone suspected of piloting any drone at which point they’re supposed to call it in to the Feds.
I’ve never seen one, but one of my best friends saw one when he was three or four years old. It was the year 1999 and he was walking out of a McDonald’s with his grandmother in a town near Conesus Lake (I specify the lake so I don’t have to specify the town, though none of us live in the town anyways). He was looking towards the West in the parking lot, and as plainly visible as can be, a classic flying saucer was flying overhead in the distance. He recalls that he was too young to understand the beings controlling the spacecraft were not Muppets, especially since Muppets in Space was either coming out or already had not long ago.
I’m sorry, there’s ufo shit over nj? Hell, guess I should look outside.
