I haven’t seen what I would call a UFO. I’ve seen two satellites: the moon and the International Space Station. The last time I saw the space station, I also saw the crew transport spacecraft following close behind. That was cool.

If you live way up north, like Sweden or Alaska, the ISS doesn’t go that far north. Its orbit goes between approximately -51.6 and +51.6 degrees latitude.

UFOs do exist.
Technically any flying object that has not yet been identified is an unidentified flying object or UFO.
I was driving home one day after work at around 11:45 PM when I saw a huge triangular object hover in the sky with lights at the points of the triangle. I saw it and then I heard it. Technically, since I didn’t know what it was, it was a UFO, as in I haven’t identified it yet.
I continued to observe it and then I realized it was descending. As soon as it low enough, I knew what it was.
It was a 737 on approach to the nearby airport.
So now it’s an IFO, an identified flying object.
Extraterrestrial spacecraft is a different story. I hope they exist though. I would like to ride in one.

Yes, because UFO simply means it’s unidentified. I am not an expert in things that glide across the sky.

Yep, I’ve seen plenty of flying objects that I could not identify. Now, have I ever seen any unidentified flying object that I thought might be from somewhere else? No.

I forgot that a significant part of Europe is that far north too. For instance, most of Ireland is north of the 51.6° latitude, which is the northernmost limit of the ISS ground track.

Without the technicalities of non-identification, I have several times. I’ll only cover two that were actually remarkable for me.
One of those sightings was with a witness, but not likely a ufo in the conventional sense. It looked like a star, but then got closer. Upon being practically Under it (~15 feet south of it, and it was hovering just over the tree line)…it made me think of the Star of Bethlehem. It was a black ball, maybe big enough to fit a small child, but it was on fire without being apparently consumed by the fire
.
One other sighting I had, there were three ufos very high in the atmosphere, and as I awoke from a nap, they were speeding above my property. They were a bit egg shaped without anything visible just as wings, tail, anything attached, etc. They stayed in formation on a strict South to north route. There were markings on them, so possibly unreleased/top secret technology. ETA: there was no noise associated with them. They moved faster and appeared higher than even the highest planes I typically saw, but maybe lower (and much faster) than typical satellites. Each ufo had the same marking. ETA further: remembered, the most remarkable thing was that in broad daylight, they were strobing together. Each weakly then strongly lit up, obscuring the vehicle with the light.

So here’s a story where I, myself, never actually saw anything, but apparently there WAS something…
Background: I live less than 20 miles from an Air Force Base, less than 100 miles from Roswell, and less than 5 miles from an Indian reservation. My workplace is in a village about 15 miles further away from the reservation.
Several years ago (bear with me, it’s a long story), it was around 9 p.m. and my husband was backing my minivan up to allow his sister to pull into the space. He was so intent on watching his sister pull in that he neglected to see a tree branch which he backed into and shattered the rear window. Understandably annoyed and upset at himself, he was barking at our then-17-year-old son to help him clean out the glass in the back and tape plastic over the window since I need the van in the morning to drive to work. Our son kept saying, “Hey, Dad, look at that! What is that? Do you see it?” “Yeah, yeah, come on, let’s get this covered up, I don’t want to be out here all night!” (I wasn’t there; I heard about this conversation later on.) Our son later was disgruntled because Dad never looked up at the lights he was seeing in the sky, just rushed him to finish covering the van window.
The next morning, I drive to work and, on the way, the radio DJ was saying, “So did anyone else see the lights in the sky last night? Got some reports from the rez that some folks heading home after the pow-wow saw some weird lights in the sky.” He didn’t elaborate and moved on to the weather or something else, and I didn’t think about it anymore.
Three days later at work, I was working with a young woman who lived in the village and she was not her usual bubbly self. In fact, she seemed distracted and upset, almost on the verge of tears. I finally asked her what was wrong and she stopped what she was doing and said, “I didn’t want to talk about this, but I have to, and I know people are going to think I’m imagining things!” She then told me that three nights earlier, she and her husband were sitting on their front porch around 9 p.m. when they suddenly saw a group of lights rising above the mountain across from their home. The lights grew brighter and brighter, but there was no sound and they couldn’t see anything that might be causing the lights (an aircraft, for example). Then suddenly, the lights all took off and vanished into the night. She and her husband were quite shaken, but no one else on the street was around and it didn’t seem like anyone else had seen the lights.
That night I went home and told my husband and son about what my co-worker had said and then mentioned that the DJ had talked about it on the radio and I wondered if they were the same lights. Then my son said that THAT’S what he had seen, but his dad wouldn’t turn to look.
No idea what the lights were but we live near an Air Force base that had once housed the Stealth aircraft and there were still training exercises taking place almost on a daily basis. As far as I know, no one has ever found out what those lights actually were.

Yes, I have seen a UFO before.

No, I’ve never seen what I thought was a UFO. I live alongside Los Angeles International Airport and under the flight path of several smaller municipal airports, so there’s always something flying overhead. Maybe the UFOs respect the FAA guidelines on restricted airspace. It seems to me that if they wanted to blend in while doing their reconnaissance around here, they would make themselves appear like an airplane or a helicopter. Maybe I have seen one unawares!

I’ve seen UFO twice. They’re a good band. “Lights Out” is my favorite song by them.

My dad saw one when he was in high school. In those days, you didn’t talk about such phenomenon. But he told us about it.
I have no doubt there are advanced lifeforms in the universe that have visited us from time to time. They would have technology we can’t even imagine, right now. Hence, our inability to identify some of these things.
But there is the story of a couple of ETs in a spaceship that was hovering over the nation’s capital. On their monitors, they were able to tune into to a joint session of Congress. They watched and listened for awhile, as various politicians stood up and made their speeches. Then the captain turned to the co-pilot and said, “Hey. Let’s get out of here. There’s NO intelligent life on this planet.”

I’m sure lots of people have seen UFO’s but nobody has seen an alien spacecraft. That is simply in the imagination of people who want to see such things and so if they cannot explain something they have seen in the sky they subjectively jump to the ridiculous conclusion it must be an alien spacecraft.

Just as an aside, I have a large interest in wind and brass bands, because I play the euphonium, and I also have a large interest in the Japanese language and culture, because we lived there for six years. In Japanese the words “UFO” and “eupho” are pronounced exactly the same. This can lead to some confusion

Why do you say it’s ridiculous? Are we the ONLY advanced lifeforms in the ENTIRE physical universe? Isn’t that a little arrogant to assume that we humans have the sole monopoly on advanced intelligence? (I’m referring to the physical universe and not the spiritual one. I know that angels are more intelligent than we are.)

That’s interesting, about the Japanese word and the acronym being identical in pronunciation.
Would you please post a picture of an euphonium? I have no idea what that looks like, or sounds like.
