"What to do if You Have Seen a UFO" Topic

"If you think you have seen a UFO the first thing to do is to think long and hard about it. Are you sure it was something out of the ordinary? On investigation, the vast majority of reported UFO sightings turn out to be something else – something much simpler. Think of all the mundane explanations there might possibly be for what you saw: birds, conventional aircraft, meteors, balloons, astronomical bodies.

If, after careful assessment, you are absolutely certain that you witnessed something beyond the realm of the ordinary, you should make a written record of it while the events are still fresh in your mind. Get anyone else who witnessed it with you to do the same. If some of the witnesses are strangers, try and get their names and telephone numbers in case you need to confer with them in future. It's best if written records from multiple witnesses are prepared separately. When the details tally, it bolsters the credibility of the claim.

Your written record should include the time and place, a detailed visual description of what you saw; a note of any military bases or airports nearby; and some words about the weather. You may also find it helpful to prepare a sketch or two…."

The smart money is on not telling anybody.

There are many places and resources on the web where you can share your sightings, encounters and experiences with like-minded citizens and support groups.

do you mean again?

Don't call your nearest air force base and tell them that it has a red light on 1 side and a green 1 on the other. Been on the receiving end of that conversation.

My sister in law was always thinking she was seeing things.

No, it wasn't Jupiter.
No, it wasn't the ISS.
No, it wasn't the airplanes landing at LAX (she was in the desert east of LA).

One night she called us about 'some lights moving weirdly over to the west'.

My wife was out, so she asked me: 'You're in the Navy – could this be some kind of secret Navy thing?'

I deadpanned: 'I can't talk about that kind of stuff over an unsecured phoneline'.

It was silent, but I could still hear the incipient panic on the other end of the line.

She eventually laughed a bit, but she didn't ever ask me about 'weird lights' again.

Step away from the drinks cabinet.

"What to do if you have seen a UFO."

Exactly what GearPilot said. "Keep your mouth shut."

Gear Pilot has it.

other than telling family and friends, I wouldn't report it. Reporting it will get you no where. When there have been incidents like the two listed below. And the government just shrugs and lies about it. And the media goes along with it. Whats the point of reporting it.

July 1952 100's of people saw UFOs fling in formation around Washington DC. They have pictures of them, reel to reel film. Two airports picked them up on radar. Military scrambled fighters to try and intercept them. And the government said it was swamp gas. No lie, look up Washington Flap 1952.

In November 2006 Chicago, O'Hara airport dozens of airport ground crew saw a UFO hovering over Gate C-17. Two pilots saw the craft hovering. When a FOIA was filed, the FAA got caught lying when they claimed they had no information on it. The air traffic control tower was aware of it. But seems the radar data and other electronic information collect was lost….

Really then explain what that small Red object that was flying at a high rate of speed and made 90 degree turns while being around 35 feet off the ground and then just disappeared.

That is what I saw one morning back when I was a teenager (around 48 years ago).

Oh and it was flying in a straight line and should have hit our roof but didn't.

We are not alone in this Universe.

This guy is right
