Powerful spotlights are so cool, not only for how they look reflected against the clouds from a distance, but for the laughs you get knowing that somebody out there is naive enough to think they're 4L13NZ!!1

No clouds, and there is no way what I saw was spotlights. I have been observing the sky for decades as an amateur astronomer and as a pilot.

I majored in computer science and physics, a double major with a bent in astronomy and optics.

Your remark is a kneejerk reaction, uncalled for, not knowing the person who made it. I did not see Venus either or chinese lanterns or light reflected from glaciers or flares.

Kneejerk, perhaps. But a fairly safe assumption being unaware of your either your discerning education or ability to ascend from the scientific method in order to make the leap of logic to space aliens. You wouldn't be the first pilot/amateur astronomer to draw an erroneous conclusion from some visual phenomenon.

Either way, who knows what you saw. Maybe it was aliens doing whatever it is they do selectively for some to see and not others so, as you are obviously an educated man, you'll forgive me for playing skeptic and not taking your anecdote at face value based on some extra level of credibility.

Again, with all respect, I'm not saying you are wrong about what you saw or even the conclusions you personally draw from it, just that it is not any more credible than any other story until someone brings a non-blurry out-of-perspective, unphotoshopped picture or cigarette butt out of their abductors cosmic ashtray.

I saw this UFO in Washington while camping in the fall of 1995 .I was taking a piss outside of the tent and all of a sudden a flying craft came out nowhere. This metallic object hovered not far from the ridge and as soon as I zipped my fly to get a better view of the craft it began, to decent into the forest. When it landed I was shocked to see a hatch fly open and from my angle I swear I saw a family of Sasquatch's come out into plain view!

I was scared shitless but not as much as when the the tallest one spotted me and I froze in terror and fear. As this tall alien with fur looked into my eyes I was unable to move. He came right up next to me and grabbed my hand then placed a small box in side of my fist.. To be honest I really was panic stricken and I think the alien Sasquatch had a mind trick where I couldn't even move if I wanted to

All I remember after this was thinking the incident took place for a few moments but when I looked at my watch and saw the time and date of 21 full hours LATER, you probably would guess that I was totally freaked!!

I went to the site where I saw the strange object and where I had my encounter with the Sasquatch but there wasn't a trace of them other than the small box that I received from the alien.

These things are real and I empathize with the others that see them. All I want to do is share my experience and report I made it totally unscathed from my alien encounter

My UFO encounter took place in broad daylight in the late 80's. I was out fixing fences on the Family farm in Morawa, when I glanced up in the sky and saw what looked like a shooting star leaving a trail of smoke. It came in high from clear sky in the west, passed under a high layer of cloud and then disapeared behind a lower layer in the east. No sound at all.

All in all it crossed up about half the sky in about 3- 5 seconds!

Could have been a shooting star but anywoo it was quite impressive!

Cheers!
