UFOs: The Research, the Evidence

I think your question is one we'd all like an answer for. The object I saw was fairly small and although it may have had a pilot, I really doubt it. To me it seemed more like some kind of A.I. recon probe. If it was piloted, then it couldn't have accommodated many crew ( at least humanoid crew ). I estimate it was about the size of a VW Beetle, and it seemed spherical, but the thing was self-luminous ( the whole thing seemed to emit light rather than having light fixtures ), and its glow made the boundary between the object itself and its surroundings hard to discern. Other than being a UFO, I don't know what it was, or if it even had pilots. Maybe the thing was some kind of Kurzweilian life form ... an evolved A.I. ... or maybe as the skeptics here have suggested it was just a firefly ... the size of car that could fly thousands of miles per hour ;-)

There's been some speculation on drone types because of size and shape.
Better get a big can of bug spray.LOL ;)
 
Ufology, I have a photo of a dog I got in the northern town, right before we go him we were sitting out side and seen something like you seen, and there were two of us.
It was a smaller light that came up and over the top of the ridge across the creek in front of us, it weaved in and out of the trees and it lit up the immediate area.
Can't say either way what it was because the same as you it was mostly light.
But it was defiantly off the ground and before we seen it, we seen it, light up the top of the ridge before appearing over the ridge on our side.
This happened in the same town where my definite sighting occurred but about 20 years later in 2005 or so.
That town and area is a hot bed and if I was to ever go there for proof through filming that's where I would go and it is remote.
Twenty years before when I was there the locals told me that sort of thing occurs all the time, I do believe them.
It's a great place to camp too.
I'll see if I have any pictures to give you an idea of the place.
 
I recently had the pleasure of hosting a few guests from Europe here in America. One of them experienced his first firefly sighting. It was pretty cool - he caught one and held it and was just enthralled. A lot cooler than telling pretend stories, since the firefly happened in the real world.

You have photo of a dog?

Is this the best evidence you have for the "evidence" thread?

Or do you actually have anything to support your silly stories?

I didn't think so.

Sorry to be persistent, but looking at the google maps and varying descriptions of the event the "object" was 3km away, before we factor in the height. How large does a vw beetle appear 3km away? In daylight it ain't huge. At night, glowing, it would still be little more than a spot of light. At that distance the glare of head lamps, or of light on the windshield would appear larger than the entire car.

At 3km even my best lookout on track would be squinting at a train... considerably wider and taller than a vw bug.

Well, if I've done the calculation correctly, a round object with a diameter of about six feet at a distance of about 3 kilometers would have an angular size of about 125 arc-seconds. This is about twice the apparent size of Venus at its largest, or about four times the apparent size of Jupiter.

Would this approximate the size of a firefly viewed through a picture window?
 
Everyone's a critic, but if Stray Cat could have a Zoso symbol keychain hanging from the rear view, that would have put it way over the top.
 
This Pic. right below is the end of the ridge, the next one to the right is further down the ridge and you can't see the top of the hill the higher side.
The saucer one I seen with the military in formation looked simalar to that picture and 4 children and three adults witnessed that one.
That's a whole other story.
We lived about a half a mile closer to that ridge but on the left side of that creek going up stream, so we had a better vantage point later when we got done mining.

You lied. There's no dog there.

JimOfAllTrades:

Thanks for the calculations there. But just to note. A VW is 13.55 feet long, so you can more than double your estimates, which sounds about right ( 8-9 times the apparent size of Jupiter ) for the core, and then there was a glow around the thing, that extended out about 3 times the width of the core all around it and tapered off fairly rapidly after that. So again, hardly a "point of light".

Sorry, I assumed you meant a front view, such as would be seen if the car were approaching you.
