Ever seen a UFO?
Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2007 1:21 am
I'm one of those people that doesn't believe anything until I see it. I have seen all the shows on PBS, History and the Discovery channels on UFO's and the place in Nevada and all that. I always thought it was silly that these airline pilots that claim to have seen UFO's are scared to come forward because they think that they will lost credibility.
Well... now I know how they feel.
I was driving on a highway from St. Louis, MO to Springfield MO last Thursday night (5-31/2007) Google Map. About 20-30 minutes past the Six Flags theme park I saw an object in the sky. I'm not sure it was a UFO, I'll just tell you what I do know. I swear I'm not making this <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> up.
So I'm just driving along with the car on cruise control traveling about 74MPH. It's dark with a clear sky and full moon. The moon is up and to my left in front of me. I notice a bright light in the same direction and glancing over I realize that it is the moons reflection off the top of a metallic object. I then notice that this object has a strobe light on the bottom of it and I think it's a plane. Trying to then determine what type of plane would reflect the moon off the top of it, I look closer instead of just glancing away.
Looking closer I realize that it looks somewhat circular, like a thick disk, and there are evenly spaced lights all around its widest point. I look at this thing for a good minute trying to identify it. I figure it's not a plane, because whatever this thing was, it didn't have wings and was either hovering or moving very slowly. It's not a helicopter because it had no rotors on the top. I then start considering what else it could possible be. I think maybe it's a blimp, a microwave dish on a tower, a water tower, a balloon etc. I was able to rule all of these things out. Because it was a full moon, I knew damn well there was nothing under this thing.
I probably looked at it trying to figure out what it was for a good 3 to 5 minutes before I finally drove past it and it was behind me. I thought about this in my head for a while, thinking to myself was that a spaceship? That could not have been a spaceship! What the hell was it? I then called a few people and told them about it, they said that was just weird.
Continuing to drive at the same speed, in the same direction, I see the damn thing in front of me again. This time it is closer but I still can only see the same thing. Moonlight reflecting off the top, a ring of lights around the circumference, and a strobe light at the bottom. As I'm driving I end up beside it, but then it travels beside me, going the same speed as my car for a minute or two. I'm trying to look left out my window and keep my car on the road at the same time. Then it slows down or stops and I begin to pass it.
At no point was I freaked out, and I seriously tried to figure out what the hell this thing was, but at this point, I'm pretty sure it wasn't anything explainable. Traveling the opposite direction on the same highway a few days later I kept a close eye out for anything that could explain it, like a water tower or something, but I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
Water towers don't move, planes don't hover, and there are no helicopters without rotors on top. I dunno what I saw.
