In reply to the discussion: My family UFO story: [View all]Victor_c3
(3,557 posts)First, Ill preface this by saying Im generally a believer. There are some stories that are too fantastic for me to wrap my head around (like this one story I heard a guy describe on a tv show a secret underground base and a firefight he saw between aliens with laser guns and US special forces in this base), but I believe most simple sightings like those you described.
I believe that aliens are slowly conditioning us to being used to the idea that they exist. I dont think that direct contact will happen in my lifetime, but generally alien presence will become more and more accepted and known to future generations as our technology improves. As we start to colonize our solar system and get the ability to travel beyond it, I suspect full fledged contact will be made.
Both of my grandparents saw a UFO When I was a teenager. They were driving on the interstate in the early 90s and an object was spotted right above the highway. Itd stop for a few seconds, dart ahead a short distance, stop again, and then dart forward again. It did this several times before just darting off altogether. It was in the early evening, just before sunset and about 45 minutes north of Albany, NY on 87 and in full view of traffic.
An uncle of mine was an officer in the air force from the mid 1950s through the 1970s. He mostly worked as a navigator and pilot flying nuclear bomb equipped bombers and he had quite the security clearance. For a period of his time, he was assigned to work on project blue book. He never said anything about the project, but he did tell us all that we maybe should believe someone if they are telling a story about UFOs.
Recent videos released by the pentagon of UFOs further support my belief.
