I saw a " UFO, " right in the friggin' parking lot of my building.Was going to a yoga class early one morning. I looked up and saw a really low -flying pinkish, yeah, I said it, pinkish pearly white huge ( it looked huge because it was so close ) like dirigible thing float over my building, directly over me. Moved like a zepplin.It's underside was reflecting beautiful lights, like nothing I've ever seen, all these swirling colors of the dawn. I had my head cranked back and was just staring at it in disbelief. It was shaped like a drone, but oddly reminded me of a dolphin, like, snub-nosed. That reflective skin.So I tweeted a news guy later that day or emailed him and he included a blurb abt. it.I googled " Drones, " and " New technology, " and got a web hit for a Drone manufacturer less than 25 miles away.But what was it doing flying directly over me at 6:15 a.m ?Er'body else was zzzzzzzzzzz'ing.I got in my car and went to Yoga and didn't tell anyone about it."Because wimmin' be Cray."

Spot on- and me, too.

Science isn't science once the investigative process incorporates any element of bias toward a certain finding.

When I hear reports of ghosts, the Virgin Mary, UFOs, alien abduction, etc., I believe they actually saw or experienced something. Weird, anomalous things do happen (like Trump's presidency).

But we still don't have enough data for a finding of aliens in this case. If we did, we would probably find, as on Earth, the determination to conquer and subsume any less technologically advanced civilization.

In that case, you're going to need a bunker.

I am a person and I have done the things. Whether or not I did THE thing, I'm not sure.

What Fravor saw was a foo fighter, a reflection off his plane.

His description is exactly what a foo fighter does.

Want to have something to fret over? The target acquisition system on the F/A18 couldn't distinguish between a foo fighter and an actual thing, and foo fighters are especially common around Korea (because of weather conditions).

Sure we would. The Chinese shot down 4 Taiwanese U-2s.

As a 15-year-old I went bowling at Lenox Square. Did not see any UFOs, though

And it took off at unprecedented speed when the plane turned. As reflections do.

Meh. At least the admirals, usually corrupt and/or incompetent, didn't get fooled.

Probly a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier.

Back upscale, eh? A few years ago, it was worth your life to wander around there.

They'd beam him right back down. The aliens wouldn't know which end to put the anal probe.

And not the exact shade of a prosthetic limb.

Epically stupid but strangely enjoyable MLP crossover fanfic?

My first impression was someone sneezed on their screen.
