Walking with my cousin about 8 years ago or so, we saw one hanging silently in the air. Just one white light. When it started moving it pulled the classic erratic movements, zig-zagging through the air in ways that any conventional aircraft just could not do, still without a sound, then finally picked a direction (by my view, toward the treeline) and went. We followed (since we had to cut through those same trees to get where we were going) but by the time we could see the sky again (approx. 15 seconds) the sky was empty.

I'd say next time you see such a thing, get one of those really powerful green lasers and point at it. If you get arrested for disrupting a pilot in flight then you know it wasn't the real deal, but if you flag down aliens... man get some pictures!

It was swamp gas.

You know, all this makes me wonder, Why are these UFO's randomly flying around? If there really are aliens in them, wouldn't they have better things to do than randomly fly over towns? Just a thought

I'm not saying that they aren't really alien UFO's, or that they don't exist, I've seen one myself, I'm just curious

If you can't identify it, it's a UFO. So aliens or not, if you don't know what it is, it's a UFO. I've seen a few. One was a spot in the sky that glowed brightly, moved a short distance, then vanished. Too slow to be a moving star, might have just been something burning up entering out atmosphere. But I don't know what it was so it's a UFO.

Or it's those goddamn Alpha Centaurians again, coming to suck out our brains and anal probe us...or was it probe our brains and...

Maybe they're studying us.

Alien Commander: "Ok, we probe their anuses and suck out their brains, and DAMNIT get it right this time!"

Could be, I didn't think of that. But if so, they've been studying us a long time! you'd think theyd either A: If they've decided to be friendly, communicate with us or at least make themselves known. B. If they're hostile, attack. C. If they get bored with us, leave.
Then again, our governments wouldn't treat them very well and they may know that. District 9 is a perfect example of how our government would probably treat them.

Only if they actually need our help to get back home. I heard this really creepy radio transmission where this guy was screaming and he sounded really paranoid and shaken up; and he was talking about them wanting to eradicate suburban areas so the big cities will be easier to control. Then the radio just went silent and when it came back up the guy was gone.

Why study us if they don't plan on at least making contact, though?

I see three scenarios:
A. He's lying or it was staged
B. He's crazy or hallucinating
C. He's telling the truth and these aliens want to take control of Earth

Another possibility of these UFO's is not aliens, but another sentient species native to Earth, technologically superior to us. I doubt it though.

Like technological beings that live on the earth that no one has found? Like Cybertronians, except smaller and on earth?

Not what I meant by 'Technologically superior', but could be
I meant that they have far more advanced technology than us

There was an episode of Star Trek: TNG where they explained that first contact is a very delicate process, and they usually have their eyes on a planet for a good long time before making a move. it could be if aliens are watching us, they're waiting for us to be mature enough on a social level to comprehend and deal with the kinds of issues we'd face out there.

Humans? mature? this could take awhile...

Where exactly did you see this? Just cause you some some lights doesn't mean it was a UFO! LOL!I guess I would never believe in this stuff unless I actually encountered it myself.

UFO doesn't mean "Alien Spacecraft." It means "Unidentified Flying Object." Anything you see moving in the night sky that you can't identify what is it, is a UFO. So, yes, it does mean it's a UFO.

After I first read this thread I went on wikipedia and looked up a bunch of supposed UFO encounters

Hmmm... Now I have an evil idea that involves a pelican end three headlights.

Why a pelican? why not a hawk? or an owl?

Pelicans are funnier.
