29. I saw one when I was around five-years-old.

Too young to even know there was such a thing as "UFOs" but have always remembered what it looked like. I was following my sister and her friend as they were walking to a store, stepping across railroad tracks and I looked up and saw a silver and saucer-shaped object. There were small vertical slits around the diameter that I could only identify as windows at the time. It was hovering and completely silent. I swear on my mother's grave. I've never forgotten. It had to be early 60s. But never since.

All a UFO is, is a thing in the sky that is unidentified. You don't know to whom it belongs. MADem Dec 2015 #38

Who said "it has to be alien"? darkangel218 Dec 2015 #39

The common misperception in everyday vernacular is that a UFO=alien spacecraft. MADem Dec 2015 #41

I believe youre wrong. darkangel218 Dec 2015 #42

Yeah, sure--whatever you say! MADem Dec 2015 #43

Flying disks unidentified are still UFOs. darkangel218 Dec 2015 #44

I love the subject--just don't understand why you're giving me crap.... nt MADem Dec 2015 #45

I am? darkangel218 Dec 2015 #46
