Personal UFO Stories

[Tyger]

I was scrolling through my Memories on Facebook when I came across a post from back in 2019 reporting on the Tic-Tac videos (I think).
What followed was this exchange between a friend in England and myself -

Friend: "Saw a UFO over the Dearne Valley between Barnsley and Doncaster in the full light of day back in 1983. Silver cigar shape, no noise, and it was gone like spit in a steep assent. A few nights later something was behind the clouds. No noise lights moving willy nilly, then gone. No not lasers."

Me: What are your thoughts? What did you see? I have a fondness for the outlandish view that they are time-travelers on a cruise.

Friend: "It was a cast over day but high cloud and not over dull. It had the hue of a passenger jet ( steel grey) and cigar shape. No prominent aft or fore.

I would say it was between five to eight miles off to the east sweeping or circling a mile wide sweep pretty rapidly, faster than an helicopter and not a glimmer of a sound. Then it suddenly scooted off without smoke or sound at a steep sixty degree angle and was gone in a flash without giving a perspective of becoming smaller in size.

I was roofing off an extension at the time and was looking in a stupor. When I turned my builder had the same expression. I asked if he had seen it too he nodded. We exchanged puzzlement and expletives and carried on with the job in hand.

I support the space and time travel theory."

Me: Maybe one of your descendants had come back to watch their great-great grandpa/uncle roofing
that old historic building everyone visits as a museum.

Friend: "I'm the only exhibit in it. The missing link.
I have not told the story often but I had not been on the beer and I did not take medication then.
I do not know what it was but I saw it plain as day as I saw the lights shortly after."


Anyone else have any personal UFO stories?

I have two, both at night. And on the same stretch of road on a back highway that runs sorta parallel with the interstate, but I would sometimes take home so I wouldn't have to deal with the freeway. One was a light hovering over a cornfield. The other was was 3-5 years later on the same highway a little further west. I saw a craft taking off the ground. It had blue and red lights, no flashing lights and as it rose it swung slightly left and then turned right heading west. Both sightings were in the '90s, but it would be impossible for me to pinpoint the years with any certainty now.

Great stories @Red ! One point: were these sightings during the day, early evening, or night?

And on the same stretch of road on a back highway that runs sorta parallel with the interstate, but I would sometimes take home so I wouldn't have to deal with the freeway.

How intriguing. Same stretch of highway.

One was a light hovering over a cornfield.

What color? How big? Was it close to you, or far away? Did you notice it as you were zooming down the highway so only glanced at it?
And this: did you have an immediate emotional response? Did it fly away or stay stationary as you drove past? Did you look back at it?

The other was was 3-5 years later on the same highway a little further west. I saw a craft taking off the ground. It had blue and red lights, no flashing lights and as it rose it swung slightly left and then turned right heading west.

This is super intriguing. So many questions. How did the first and second sighting compare in size, and compare in distance from you? The first was a light, and the second you saw as a craft - what was the difference to see one as just a light and the other as a craft with lights? So the first was above a cornfield, what was the second above? It took off from level ground? What was your immediate emotional response with the second sighting? I assume you were zipping along down the highway - did you turn to see the object - were you able to follow the object in the sky?

What additionally intrigues me - I am supposing you never went back to check out the terrain. If you did, what did you see? If not, why not? Anyone else ever mention seeing stuff on that stretch of road? Are you still living near the place? Could you go back and look around?
