Ever seen a UFO?

So today, as I was clicking the "Stumble!" button on my browser (That thing can be addicting) I came across several UFO websites, and I started thinking back to when I saw a UFO. It was awhile back but I was outside one night going for a walk, and I saw something orange come across the trees into the opening. It was two rectangles side by side and they were moving at a moderate speed and they were quiet. It looked like the afterburner of a jet, but I didn't see anything attached to them, it was just two orange rectangles. They simply disappeared after I saw them. Has anyone else ever see a UFO?

I have, but then I go on the internet and turn them into IFOs.

Ayup, two times, what could be considered Unidentified Flying Objects, with credible witnesses.
Once in '97 , with five other witnesses, and once a year and 2 1/2 months later, with two dispatchers (one police) witnessing, besides at least two patrolmen and a few other people.
The first series was a *lot* like The Lubbock Lights, and the second was much, much more complicated, that killed the power grid of my town for a little while, on Nov. 30, 1998, at a little past 4 am. It's a long story.

I saw a couple things but they are not alien UFOs. Both were really not far from each other only separated by about 20 years time. When I was a kid I saw a meteor or space debris crash into a lake at night while we were camping in Eastern Washington. It was a blue fireball and when it went into the water it lit the lake up fairly well and slowly burned out. The second was a very large space explosion that lit the surrounding countryside up like it was almost daylight. This time it was witnessed by a lot of people. Only thing we could figure it was a meteor coming in over us that exploded in the lower atmosphere. Both sightings I will never forget.

Why don't you just beam them onboard and anal probe them?

- Not that I have any experience with Unidentified Flying Objects, but it's what I usually do when I see any Unidentified Crawly Objects. By the way, you guys seem awfully familiar...?

I've seen two instances of space debris crashes, myself ... as a teenager, i saw a hunk of it shoot down into the ocean about 3/4 of a mile off shore. That was neat, except the view was poor since it was night time.
The second time was closer and it crashed into the marshlands nearby my town .... the funny part was, i saw it with a dude who was on acid at the time, and he kinda freaked out a little bit (the debris had little streaming bits on it) and smashed his guitar into a brick divider (also at night).
Both of them burned some copper and something else, with a prominent green colour.

I have seen flying objects that i cant identify. I firmly believe that these are extraterrestrial spaceships that have come to earth to study humans. And the aliens don't show themselves to us because it would ruin their observations if we knew about them. But the people who do know whats going on are called insane. Some even called me insane. Why you might ask? Because I drilled holes in my neck to interfere with the alien's mind control waves. Now, with this hat that I made out of aluminum foil, I can read their minds.

Odd how "UFO" connotates one thing, but is literally not strictly defined as such.

Yes. Although it only remains such because I'm too lazy to find information on the apparatuses used by weather balloons in use during the summer of 1994 in southern Massachusetts.

That humans will die soon. In the next few years, global warming will cause tidal waves and mad cows to attack power plants and destroy famous tall buildings. They also say, buy pork belly futures.

Ned: Homer!
Homer: You're right, you're right, fifty spaceships beamed us aboard. They gang-probed you, while I discovered an invention that blew their heads up and saved America.
Ned: Uh, do I have to be gang-probed? [two vultures land on the highway behind them, first looking at Ned and Homer, then each other]
Homer: Would you rather tell Maude the truth?
Ned: [sighs] What did the aliens look like?
Homer: Well, I only saw them from the back 'cause they were so busy gang-probing you. Well hello, little birdie! [fade to black]

I remember a few years ago I saw kind of an orange glow and it would temporarily flare and i could see sort of an outline of some aircraft, it looked kind of like it was hovering, but I'm pretty sure aliens don't exist so I'll theorize that it was a military aircraft or something.

I have been a UFO(Unidentified Flying Object).

One time several of my friends were standing outside of a bar and I, who had left several moments earlier to call a cab waited just around the corner for an opportune moment. When it presented itself, I quickly accelerated and launched myself through the air, tackling a much larger person and sending us both careening into some bushes. The others then asked in a startled and confused chorus, "What the hell was That?!?"

I was a UFO. :D

Of course I have! I've seen plenty of Unidentified Flying Objects.

I then of course ascertain their identity instead of making up stupid shit about them being alien spacecraft. I hate how UFO has become synonymous with that...

Momentarily, then I realise what it is.

One thing I find funny about alleged alien UFOs is that these aliens apparently have the technology to travel through space to our solar system, probably at the speed of light or faster, and spy on us secretly yet they are unable to disguise themselves and just hang in the sky for all to see.

i've seen a number of odd things, including one or two that might have been a malfunctioning visual spectrum cloaking device.

of course, if i'm allowed to throw in previous lives on other worlds, well of course they weren't unidentified there, but some of them were on worlds were intersteller craft were more or less common as light switches and just about as much taken for granted.

“Is that a UFO in your pants or are just happy to see me?”

People that are seeing UFO's, should visit a psychiatric clinic as soon as possible.

You can be cured!

No, all the flying objects I've seen have been somewhat idetifiable. Planes, birds, kites, LG, etc.

If you mean eerie spacecraft from other planets - no. If you mean an object, that's flying, that I can't identify - yes.
