U.F.O. Sightings.

Anyone seen one or know someone that has seen one.

Also U.S.O.s documented as far back as Columbus as well as modern day naval accounts.

is this for personal (possible sexual) interest, or official government use?

As a nipper, I saw an object that was flying and unidentified by the adults in the group (not surprisingly, as they comprised my mother and aunt). To my young eye, it looked like a silvery practice golf ball (see below) - but then, I'd seen one of those so that was probably the closest thing my young mind had to compare it to. It appeared to be very high and moving as quickly as a jet would.

I'd imagine that it was the old favorite - the weather balloon

Or both - i.e. the dreaded Government Probe?

i once saw 3 maybe 4 lights slowly rotating, looking a bit like wind speed guage at a 45degree angle. i was at my grandparents house who live at the top of a hill, and i was looking out of the back bedroom window at houses etc below the hill. this object appeared to be hovering above the other houses but lower than where i was watching. i was around ten years old at the time, and to this day i havent a clue what it was.

Didn't the three lights stay around for a couple of days? Must have been 15 years ago or so. There was a report on them and they were indeed unidentified. Seen from Surrey in the north.

There is an object to the top left of spinnaker tower.

I took a photo of the Portsmouth skyline at night a few weeks ago from Just behind Haslar Marina. The photo's taken a minute before and after this shot didn't have the object in shot.

It is a UFO!.........That was till I realized it was a planes running lights taken over the 20 second exposure
