Ok folks, well I want to hear how you got into ufology and any experiences you may have had. I've always had an interest in the topic, but became significantly more interested in it when I had my first (and so far, only) UFO experience just under a year ago. Here's what I experienced, let me know if you think it's interesting or condswallop! On the 5th January last year, I was travelling back to Glasgow from visiting a close friend who lives in a very small village on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean called Scourie in the extreme northwest of Scotland. The weather was atrocious with high winds and snow causing severe white out and blizzard conditions for 60-70 miles in all directions. There was (according to the weather forecast) a 4-5hr window in which there wasn't expected to be any snow and the wind was light to moderate. So, with this in mind I decided to set off for home at 2am in the morning. I took the A894 which winds down to Loch Assynt and eventually joins up with the A9 in Inverness for the rest of the journey. Obviously the journey was taking a lot longer than usual due to the conditions. Just after I'd reached the fork where the A894 meets the A837 just outside Inchnadamph, I noticed something that set my pulse racing. I clearly saw a bright blue object travelling at high speed (at least 90-100mph) right down the centre of Loch Assynt heading westward towards Lochassynt Lodge in the distance. At first i couldn't tell what shape it was as I only caught it out of the corner of my eye because I was watching the road. But boy, did it make itself obvious! In the near daylight (because of the brightness of the snow) it stood out like a beacon. Being naturally curious, and being a massive fan of aircraft (long RAF history in my family) I pulled over at the nearest safe spot to see if I could get a look at what I was convinced was a Tornado on a night time bombing exercise on the Loch Floor. maps.google.co.uk/maps?client=firefox-a&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=58.169291,-4.994676&spn=0.002119,0.006968&t=h&z=18 was where I stopped (so you can see). When I got out the car, there wasn't a sound to be heard, it was deadly quiet (as it often is up there, especially when there's snow on the ground). Five minutes later, after I'd given up and was too cold I saw some bright lights heading towards me from the distance. I got a little excited until I realised that it was only a car coming down the road I'd just come from! But what happened next was what peaked my interest. The guy in the other car pulls over, winds down his window and said "Holy shit mate, have you been watching this?" I said "I saw something about 5-10 mins ago but didn't really catch it properly". He said, "He said, what, you mean that?" at which point I turned round and saw this amazing flash of bright blue light skating along the top of the water, about 5ft above it and what seemed like a tremendous speed back along the way it had come when I first spotted it. I just stood in amazement and watched it for a couple of seconds before it disappeared round the next set of rocks about 1/2 a mile down. But guess what? Dead silent. No noise at all. Next thing I knew I was just getting back in my car to continue the journey, look out my windscreen and I'm convinced I saw the same blue object shooting straight up the side of the peak nearby and reaching the top and then disappearing out of sight for good. There's not much more I can report about it to be honest. Other than the fact I was less than 4 or 500 yards away from it when it went along the loch. The loch itself is barely half a mile wide at that point. So if it had been an aircraft, then surely I'd have heard it? And as far as I know, no boat I've ever seen can travel faster on water than I can on the motorway... and certainly not a hovercraft! Weird is the word, but weirder is the fact that I wasn't the only one who saw it. Just wish I'd had some recording equipment to take a photo or two

My first enouter happened in the 70s i was 6 yr old camping out with my cousin who was in his teens i got out the tent during the night to have a piss and right above the tent was this huge UFO with loads of different coloured lights it was silent almost like something like in the film close encounters. Ive never been able to explain the sighting it moved slowly as if just floating along minding its own buisness i woke the others up in the tent and they saw it too tho we never talked about it afterwards ever.
Since then ive been hooked ive seen other UFO's but this is what got me into UFO's in the first place
This is why i put everything into my research on the phenomena ive been into UFO's since my first sighting, ive watched every documentary read loads of books and done shit loads of research since the 70s and still havnt been able to answer what i saw

I'm afraid I have no experiences to share - yet. I have looked at the night skies off and on for years, but have only spotted satellites. It seems that is my talent.
But I have had an interest in UFO's since childhood when my attention was caught by documentaries.
I suppose I had an experience of sorts as a teenager that I cannot explain but don't know how ET it is. A few times the brightest light would flood my bedroom sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for a few seconds. The light was so intense it lit my bedroom despite the closed curtains.
Wondering if someone was shining a powerfully bright light I would look out the windows after the light stopped, but never saw anything, anyone, any vehicles. There was never a sound.
After a bit of thought, I realized that a powerful light (Man made and Man used) would only shine in one window at a time, but this light came in all windows in three walls simultaneously. To coordinate powerful lights shining in three windows on three walls simultaneously would take expert effort from humans.
Again, I'm not saying this was ET in source, but I still don't know what happened. Perhaps an excellently coordinated prank? I really don't know.

Translated into English with google translate Welcome to UFORN Portuguese to English translation good night, I'll tell you what torments me about 15 years, came out of the house were about 22h when I was on the terrace, I noticed a blue star (he was in heaven) then put in motion, first to my left (but distant) went down a little online and came straight in my direction (increasing in size), when passed over me (high altitude), stopped (even over me) and then increased again to about twice the size (a click), I still take action with a beam of blue light (but dull), I shrank to protect me because he gave me the feeling was that something would fall on me (even looked solid), when I picked up the light I looked up and saw the base of the light to go up, it took (-2 sec) will reach the star, it decreased in size. I got up and started to call my brothers who were with a friend, also saw the "star" (UFO) to depart. the next day it happened, but when the star has increased in size again escaped and went to call my brothers and friends, they saw the star (UFO) to move away and do some tricks (followed the steps) until it disappears. this past year did not leave my head. primero was not my sighting, but it was the strangest I apologize for the text is in Portuguese.

Good afternoon.
I'll report here my first exprience with UFO's. when I was 6 or 7 years, my father woke me up to me and my brothers to see a strange light (he was already seeing a few days), the light was white and very intense, was over some trees about 300m, his movements were gentle, sometimes up and down or moved laterally, also increased and reduced in size, was more than an hour in these maneuvers, then rose to just throw a lot of meters (do not know exactly how many) to disappear and then climb up to a breakneck speed. the next day we went to the forest and saw about six eucalyptus trees uprooted, were very large.
basically it was my first sighting and my brothers;)
ps. My father was a naval officer and had never seen such a phenomenon, and concluded that it was a UFO. Ouvir Ler foneticamente Dicionário - Ver dicionário detalhadointerjeição0.good afternoon

gaag and judge beat me hands down. I used to sky watch with my old man when I was a kid, we used to spot sky lab and other satellites, I have followed the subject since a 5 year old, I had my first ufo sighting in the 90s, I was a train driver, driving along the Thames corridor into central London, we (other drivers too) started to see these red lights high up above the Thames, these were your typical ufo lights sighting, moving at a fast rate then stopping dead then shoot off in the opposite direction, some times they would be motionless just hanging and blinking, the drivers use to talk about them in the mess room and one night I took my wife and kids to the sea front to watch them, they've never forgotten either. A couple of years ago I was driving along the A12 in suffolk when I noticed a silver sphere in the air above a field, about 20 feet up and about 20 yards from the road, definitely not tethered to anything and no people any where, also a 50 mph gale was blowing and it wasn't moving, Felixstowe port was shut due to the high winds as the containers get blown around, yet this beach ball size silver sphere just hung there, this was about midday no cloud.

My 2nd sighting happend in summer 2 years ago. I have a remote oceanfront acreage property.Overlooking Wilsons Promotory national park.Its one of the most southernest points on the Australian coastine.Across from that is Bass Strait then Tasmania the area where Frederick Valentich disappeared.It was a fri or sat night unsure?time was before midnight.I have a quaker double story barn.As i used this for a weekender as my house was getting built.Downstairs was the kitchen x loungeroom.Upstairs was the bedrooms & another loungeroom.Decked out nice.Me and my girlfriend were having a good sex session lol.After we both cum.I got up & decided to go have a leek.I have a sliding door above.As i opend it and hanged out the old fella.I looked above into the beautiful clear crystal blue night with thousands of stars across the sky.I looked from right to left.As my head turned to the left i looked up and noticed 2 Huge Cigars.One was above the other.One was the size of a football field atleast.Absolutely farkn huge.The one parked just under it was abit smaller about half the size.I said to myself Wtf aloud.I turned around to my girlfriend and said come and have a look at this.Theres 2 Ufos out the front door.She said yeah right .So she got up and i stepped out of her way so she could look.She stood there quietly for a few secs and said oh my farkn god.These Cigar shape objects were pitch black.About 300 metres above my barn roof.There was no lights on them.There was no clouds in the sky what so ever.There was no wind what so ever.It was a beautiful stinking clear hot summer night.My girlfriend turned off the light upstairs as we both felt abit scared.We jumped into bed and pulled the sheet over us.My top floor level in barn has windows all around on both sides.There tinted windows as i dont have curtains on them.So if you were outside at a certain height.Put it this way you could look in lol.We both felt like we were being watched.After about 5mins in bed shitting ourselves i said fark it.Of gotta have another look i was so curious & got abit excited.So i got up and turned the light back on.Opend the sliding door.There was nothing?they just vanished with out any noise what so ever.I got half dressed & went down stairs.My girlfriend followed by my side as she was still scared.Opend up the main door down stairs in barn.I have spotlights mounted every angle of the barn outside.Turned them all on before we stepped foot outside.As we got outside they were not there.They just vanished & disappeared without a trace?We stood outside looking into the stars for a few mins.Like i said no clouds very clear night.With no wind.We eventually went back upstairs & looked out the top sliding door again.To the south across the ocean .Way up above in the sky we noticed a huge black hole within the stars.We both thought the same thing these objects must have passed in x out through it.Like into another dimension.?Will never forget this night ever.Just hope we give them good Aliens a good show lmfao.

Stuff happened to me when I was a child. I froze and hid when outside. I was desperate to see the train (and be sure it stayed across the meadow and didn't come over to where I was) when I was younger than 6. Later I had a hypnotic regression and remembered a little cloud floating over me when I was lying on the grass outside and then being in a rounded egg shell colored room. I didn't want to be there...
When my family moved to Texas I was 7. When I was about 8 my father caught me trying to unlock a door in the middle of the night and go outside "to see my pony". Outside was a vacant field covered in cactus and crawling with rattlesnakes. I NEVER played there in the daytime but had many dreams that "drew me" to that area. I'll skip the details for now.
I read sci-fi but always thought they WE went to THEM on their planets, not the other way around. So all of the above I did not consider as possible contact events until recently.
In 1967 I and some friends witnessed a glowing pulsing orange light that came and zig-zagged in front of us on a second story porch. We were on an unused (except for hay) farm outside of Austin Texas (Round Rock). We attempted to go to where we thought "it" landed. We were driven back by intensity and fear. Very rapidly after that we all "fell asleep". I had some very heavy sensations and partial memories about that night.
About 5 years later "something happened" while I was out camping with a friend. We got up and hid "from the sky" under some trees. Both of us went from being relaxed and interested in star watching in an open field to some state of dread. We then fell asleep until morning.
I saw a UFO hovering over a house when I was bicycling to work in the middle of Austin Texas! I convinced myself (temporarily) that it was a blimp. (It was a small metallic blimp shape). It was totally silent. Approx 1972.
I communicated with Bud Hopkins and was invited to be interviewed in the late 80's. I then "lost" every bit of the notes and info I had gathered - including events that involved my children and one event on our fishing boat when we were at anchor in an isolated area and very bright light surrounded the boat. Both myself and my husband's 10 year old daughter "dreamed" this the same night. I thought it came from underwater. She thought it was a white glowing whale. I was sleeping outside and at some point was freaked out and ended up inside with no real memory of when or why.
I still have dreams in which I am compelled to go outside and meet with a ship that is drifting down to where I am - silently. I can feel it when they lock onto where I am.
I sometimes feel when I am driving at night an extreme vulnerability and scan the sky diligently.
My husband and I do a lot of off-road wandering in our 4X4 - looking for rocks. There are times that I for no reason want to get out of an area and have rising strong feelings about it. We leave - he sees that I am distressed.
And that's the way it is. I'm 62 now and doubt that "THEY" are particularly interested in me. I however may still be able to sense them. My husband thinks it would be great to be picked up together. I have no such thoughts - I would like him to see one from a distance with me though. People really do believe that stories such as mine are crazy...

nice post paulette, I have heard of the feeling of dread, not something I would like to experience.

I have had only 3 experiences with UFOs, that I can recall. All have been within 2010.
The first one was in mid-January. I was walking down to the local Sea Terminal, to use there free internet, with my flat-mate. It was about 0500, it was dark but clear. I was looking up, as I always do, and I noticed what I thought was a star at first but soon realised it was moving. Thinking it was down to me being tired (having been suffering from lack of sleep at that point in time) I asked my flat-mate could he see it. Then it click, it must be a satellite. Then it stopped, did a 90 degree turn and zoomed off. Both my flatmate and I were stunned to silenced.
My second experience was about 2 months later in March at around 0600, walking to the Sea Terminal again, this time on my own. It was an orangery yellow light that moved across the sky, the a red light about a third the size of the orange light was going round it as if it was fixed upon it a spinning, the orbit was tight, maybe only a few metres. I'd say it was about 2000-3000 feet in the air and going a roughly the speed of a commercial jet and there was none of that low rumberling sound that you can normal hear with a high altitude jet. Now I have seen many commercial and military jets fly at night as the Isle of Man is in the flight path for alot of transatlantic flights and I have always loved the sky, so i'm fairly confident it wasn't a commercial plane. Also I lived next to the Islands only commercial Airport which is extremely busy. It also wasn't flying any of the normal flight paths that almost all planes use on the Island, it was heading in an almost Due South direction.
My third one was on the 24th November. Was coming out of Tescos, and looking at the sky as I normally do and saw an Orange light, at first I thought it was an Aircraft but then realised that it has no navigation lights at all.
It happened at 2130 and lasted till about 2135. I tried to take pics and filmed for 25 seconds but the quality is so crap. However I am ruling out a Chinese lantern for several reasons, one It didn't flicker, 2 it was going faster than a commercial aircraft and 3 I noticed it in the east, about 2/3 miles from the coast and it was heading west.
I contacted the local Airport and everything and was told that no aircraft was over the Island at that time.
So these are all my experiences.

Aliens don't know that it's rude to enter without knocking the invisible Aliens that have purple features don't know that how I know it's Aliens when I said there invisible cause they show themselves to you if they choose to with a white outline around them. The white outline around them makes them invisible to the naked eye.

Hi everyone, this is the first time I am telling my stories online. Forgive me though, they happened so long ago and I don't really remember many specifics. The first sighting was in Regina Saskatchewan in Canada. I was riding my bike in the Glen Cairn section of our city, and I turned around a corner into a small park. As I looked dead ahead of me I couldn't help but look up a little bit into the sky. There was this small white disk that just seemed to sit in the air. I watched it for about 2-3 minutes and then looked around to see if anyone else was seeing the same thing. Nobody else was in the park and when I looked back up the disc was gone.
The second sighting was while I was living in Saskatoon Saskatchewan, also in Canada. I was with a bunch of neighborhood kids walking along these train tracks in Sutherland which is an area in Saskatoon. If you were to follow these train tracks they would take you past the U of S and over the river. We were walking along these tracks when we noticed a small light, the same color that a older street light with a bulb would give off (kind of manilla in a way), moving very slowly in the horizon over the river. The light was slowly moving up and down. We sent someone to get a camera or something but the light disappeared after a little while of doing these movements.
My last sighting was very quick. I was in saskatoon lying in bed, I had a window right beside my bed. All I remember was looking over to see a white light moving very weirdly in the night sky. after probably 20 seconds or so it moved out of sight behind bushes that were growing beside my window.
My first sighting was while I was in grade 3 and the other two sightings were when I was in grades 6 and 7. That is all I really can remember from them.
