I'm on a ufo FB page. Yes I'm a geek.
It's filled with fakes but occasionally a decent ufo gets photographed a lot from plane windows

Just wondered if anyone has any personal experiences

Thought I saw a UFO years ago. I was in primary school and it really freaked me out. Getting chills just thinking about it now. Of course I told everyone and got the piss taken out of me for ages afterwards. 😁

Following. I haven't (thankfully) but my friends mum who is very down to earth (was in the land army during WW2 and thinks woo people are ridiculous, very down to earth) went to her grave adamant that she stood by her window one night many years ago for a good 10 minutes and watched three lights dancing in the sky before shooting off vertically at an impossible speed. She said they were UFOs in her opinion.

Most pilots that have flown for any length of time have seen things they could not identify.

There is obviously a sliding scale in terms of "weirdness" from seeing a dot or light a long way away that doesn't appear on radar to something fairly close up that moves in a way that defies explanation and doesn't conform to what people would normally define as an aircraft.

I suspect most of the time they do not bother reporting because i) it is hassle and ii) because they don't want to have to suffer any negative consequences, ie their employers demanding they take eye tests or having to sit in rooms with people with clipboards taking down every detail. Most pilots are very suspicious of engaging in any activity that might affect their flight status.

That's why most of the time you hear about these experiences it is probably retired pilots talking about their experiences rather than active pilots.

Not seen one but a very good friends mum, down to earth, totally reliable, savvy etc etc was changed by something she saw one night in the sky from her garden. No light pollution, and she is totally convinced it was a ufo and I believe her 😁

Yes, we are not alone in this world.

I used to date one. Never saw anything, and said no one he
knew had ever seen anything that couldn’t be explained either.
