I saw a UFO but I don't remember seeing it.

by JC
(Former Long Islander)

This happened in 1956. I was seventeen years old, my brother was 20. We had a guest, a young man who was about 20. Our home was in Greenport. We went to a local golf driving range one evening. The drive wasn't too far, but I don't know what town it was in.

He said that a group of very bright lights had come down from above and rested on the range, then lifted up and away.

He said that he then asked us: "Did you see that?" and that we both said "Yeah! What the heck was it?" or some such thing. My brother said that by the time we left the range, he was the only one of the three of us who had any recollection of the touchdown or of our conversation about it.

My brother never mentioned anything about the ufo until years later. I asked why he waited so long to mention it, and I don't remember his exact words, but the drift was that it was very unpleasant to talk about it. He wasn't given to telling tall tales. He was an engineer, loved mathematics, liked things logical and light-hearted.

I guess this just didn't compute, and that was what gave him the creeps.

I saw something when very young, while walking home with my brother, while living in our hometown of idledale co. I do not recall a duration of time, and ever since things have been different significantly, to say the least. I will not say I had a abduction, as I do not know, or remember anything other than a light my brother and I notice seemingly falling at rapid speed from the iniverse, or so it seemed, then I remember waking on the hill side and the world seemed lit up yet it was still dark, and I knew whatever had happened I was meant to not remember but apply in life. I also know that my brothers encounter was less than satisfactory, he would have been getting the refund treatment for sure, had they given tickets to suffice an unsatisfied customer. When we were on the hill side with the world looking iluminated he was terrifed and scared of what we could not recall since. I remember that I was of use, and I seemingly learned from the encounter of what ever magnitude or purportion it was that night as a young boy, walking through a small colorado mountain town

Your responders would seem more credible if they could at least stop generalizing their experiences. It moved "faster then a ak-47 bullet",etc.
One so-called Camp Hero "investigation exposed" some diabolical scientific experiment in the early 1990's. Well it was just a NY National Guard training exercise transmitting communications to Cape Cod. Camp Hero is full of hazards, holes, weak structures, asbestos, etc. I was part of that exercise and we were briefed on all these safety hazards.
All these "curious types" will be the first to complain or sue-- if they were hurt at Camp Hero. So when some park worker tells people to stay out-- their doing their job.

starstarstarstarstar 		I saw one in August. NO JOKE. NEW
by: PsychicHT

I was out grocery shopping with my mom and brother when I saw it. It was a black triangle with a light at each point. It zoomed so fast across the sky it made my mom and I flip! (Not the car. We freaked out) Anyway, I saw it again. It hovered a few hundred feet in the air but seemed to have followed us home. A few blocks away near my old middle school I saw the thing make a complete 360 then shot out of the sky faster than a bullet leaving the barrel of an AK-47. Crazy fast. The wind picked up at its departure then calmed. It was so friggin' eerie dude not kidding you. My grandfather saw one too. But he was in his 30's then. He past away a few years ago, but his memory never makes me forget this.

We were driving to go fishing on Long Island and we saw something in the sky over Rt. 495. Then we saw something again when we were in the town of Mattituck. This all happened on November 16, 2009 at about 5:15am. I really believe in sightings.
