I was fascinated with the possibility of UFOs being intelligent life visiting us. When I was in 6th and 7th grade, I volunteered for an organization that gathered info from around the world, organized it, analyzed it, etc.
So did I, right outside Ocean City, NJ. I wasn't the only one who saw it. When the guy I was with pulled over to take a better look, so did a lot of other cars. We never found out whether we'd seen some sort of secret military aircraft, a weather balloon, or what.
Decades later my sister and I saw another one outside Omaha, NE. When we stopped to get a better view, it turned out to be a stealth bomber (there's an AFB nearby).
l'm going to start a new thread on our UFO sightings if anyone wants to share their experience.
So did we! Honest!
