I have always wondered why after a fairly long life and decades travelling millions of miles, a great many of them through the night, that I was never exposed to an alien spacecraft. All across Canada, north south east and west, down through the southern states and not a single spaceship to be seen. Oh well.
I saw one up close in Edmonton AB in September 1981. I was with a former Ontario Provincial Policeman who was trained in observation. We both watch a slow moving relatively small saucer shaped craft float past our 20th floor balcony in broad daylight. It was astounding. The craft couldn’t have been more than 20-30 feet diameter and about 8 feet thick at the bulge. Had a glowing amber colored opaque window of sorts. Traveling at about the speed of a man walking …
I think about that every day since. When you see something that you can barely believe is real because there is no reference to what you are seeing in anything earthly. No, noise, no moving parts, no means of ‘lift’, no propulsion system obvious. Also has a slight distortion or shimmer around it. Cognitive Dissonance happens.
That’s all I’m telling you about it.
Yup, after years of telling countless people they were crackpots and certifiably insane the Pentagon finally comes out and says “Yeah, they’re out there alright, we’ve known it for some time and no we haven’t a clue where they’re from.
Makes me wonder what else they’re lying to us about.
Everything.
“Makes me wonder what else they’re lying to us about.”
Since “truth” is the first casualty of war and war is their business,… take a wild ass guess.
That’s odd Jwest – Had a similar experience with my brother while fishing up North in the seventies.
Not as up close and personal as yours mind you but close enough to question one’s sanity.
The thing is, and it’s kind of odd, many years have passed but we’ve never discussed it with each other since.
I guess my powers of observation have not been adequate. As they say, I am from Missouri SHOW ME.
Heh…OWG. I get it, I’m a “Skepticism is the chastity of Intellect” guy as well.
However it directly conflicts with my “Where’s there’s smoke there’s fire”.
The only time I think I might have seen one was when I was either in late elementary school or early junior high. I saw it early in the morning just around sunrise. I didn’t know what it was and it appeared to be airborne, hence an unidentified flying object.
Many years later, I suspect what I saw were the landing lights of a plane coming into the local airport. I see that sort of thing all the time as I have a view of the aircraft coming in and out of the Edmonton International Airport at night.
This is not good for canadians.
You just know that any type of Supreme Being has to be thinking,”I should go down there and kick some canadian dumbass just for giggles. Biggest idiots in the whole universe. Make the milky way muppets look brilliant. Imagine, a second Trudeau. The whole universe laughs at those imbeciles.”
OBVIOUSLY swamp gas
Igor’s watch glowing in the background, reflected in the window, sneaking up on Viktor. “Vat, yu sink yu see OO EFF OH? Idiot!”
I have had gas many times and it has never lead to delusions. Much pain and discomfort but not much else. No visions.
Next time light it on fire.
Many of the commenters at the Global site had a very reasonable explanation. Just a few days ago, SpaceX launched 58 Starlink satellites. They are released together and only slowly spread out to their assigned orbital positions. I think that Global should have at least checked out whether the relative orbital positions of the Starlinks and the ISS made this explanation feasible. Starlinks can be seen from a very long distance if they are in sunlight.
that was my guess too
Michi Canuck,
Reasonable theory. Like you said, the date and time would help prove or disprove it.
Maybe they are satellites tethered together to form a long baseline scanning system? We are doing something similar with a line of radio telescopes to get the resolution of a radio telescope with a tens of miles wide dish.
This would be similar, but with (military reconnaissance) satellites pointed at earth?
Never seen one but the only two people I’ve run across that claimed that they did, seemed a little sketchy (one claimed to have been abducted – I didn’t ask about the anal probes). I have an open mind. Any interstellar visitors that wanted Earth for themselves would likely have the technology to inject the atmosphere with a species-specific agent and wait a few weeks until the blow flies are done. No need for contact.

Victim descriptions of extraterrestrial abductions sound awfully similar to victim descriptions of bad acid trips.
I was a bit of a stargazer in my high school days, so I had a reasonable knowledge of the night sky. I remember how surprised – and excited – I got when I saw three star-bright dots arranged triangularly in the sky. The dots then started to spin around the central axis of the triangle and got closer and dimmer (as if going upward and farther from me) until all I could see was a dim point of light that eventually disappeared.
In today’s footage, if you magnify it and run it in slow motion, there is a tiny star in the background that never gets eclipsed when the lit squares seem to make what appears to be a turn. Therefore, there is no solid object between the bright squares. Either that, or their cloaking device is malfunctioning!
Don’t laugh too loud.
Much of the misery of the 20th century could have been avoided by listening to Russians who offered inconvenient facts while western intellectuals parroted what they thought clever people were supposed to say about the Soviet Union and persecuted anybody who contradicted them.
Vagner knows what he saw, and offered all the evidence of it he could. It is now the job of the Russophobes to prove he is talking nonsense or lying. I shan’t hold my breath.
“Much of the misery of the 20th century could have been avoided by nuking Soviets in 1945”
FTFY.
Totally concur with your assessment, Colonialista. As to “listening to the Russians”?!
The Russians were the source of the dezinformatsiya and we should’a listened to them? Pfft! https://tinyurl.com/y54uukf8
Another +1 for SpaceX light pollution. The Scum Lord(c)(tm) will rot in hell.
OK, I’m adding my ten cents. OK, ten bucks worth.
I have had three such strange instances in my life. The first at age five or six, was in broad daylight out of a schoolroom class window. I pointed it out to my classmates, it was a small craft heading straight up into the sky a long way off, but a few did see it, The teacher refused to even look!
The second and third both occurred while I was in the merchant marine. One, in 1968, in the Atlantic, heading for the Caribbean late at night, on watch, on the bridge. I spotted a sweeping light off the starboard bow, the sweep was identical to a lighthouse, light sweep, only a little slower, but not showing the actual light source. I opened the bridge door and identified it to the officer on watch, and asked, “Are we anywhere near land?” The answer was, “No we are a thousand miles from any land!” He turned on the radar, with the horizon about 14 miles away, and set the radar to a twenty mile sweep, and….nothing on radar. We watched it for twenty minutes, with binoculars, and rechecking the radar several times, until it seemed we would finally see the source of that light, and… it ceased and disappeared!
The third, was on a different ship about four years later in 1972, again at night, sailing east, twenty miles south of Singapore, the glow of the city lights but not their source, made a good deal of visibility out over the water, again I was the lookout on watch, and on the right, I noticed a flying craft up in the air,coming toward the ship, I estimate at about three hundred feet heading westward, and flying very slowly. To slowly for a plane or helicopter. As it came level with the ship, it turned south and continued to fly slowly, and faded out of site. The timeline was about four or five minutes, and there was time to watch it with binoculars. Both the officer of the watch, and the radio operator, were on the bridge with me looking at it. It appeared oval in shape, and kind of fat, or squat, such as two deep oval roasting dishes facing each other with the top one upside down. It may have been a round saucer shape, but angled in a way as to appear oval. Color appeared to be beige, but that may have been the city lights glow reflecting off the craft. There was no sound, or sign of propulsion, and no lights! Neither of these “sightings” were ever recorded or reported! Personally, I do think there are multiple others, out there, but I also think they mostly just observe. They may, or may not, have hidden bases here, I don’t know, but if they didn’t wipe us out, as they easily could have, then they are probably not here to cause us harm, but are interested in our evolution and how warlike we humans are. When they think we are approachable, I am sure they will approach us, however, we probably need another thousand years or so, of development, before they do that. It hardly seems likely, or intelligent, that they would travel millions of miles across the galaxies just to blow us into oblivion! I am a life long atheist, but respect others that are not, and I’m thinking that they may be the real source of early man’s religious beliefs. Who knows, they may have been the cause of the rise of modern human beings. Perhaps we are an experiment, such as we humans would observe an ant colony. To my mind that is a better explanation of the religious machinations of man, than an actual supreme being. I found the series of books by Erich Van Donekin, (Sp?) Chariots of the Gods, a most interesting series to read, later on in life.
Interesting … I too am life long atheist but I have no beef with Christians or others, but I do have a problem with muslims. Who doesn’t?
The small saucer I saw in daylight, I described as being a warm metallic, almost amber color. As it drifted by, it was close enough that I could have easily tossed my coke can and hit it…. Not wanting to attract a death ray, I suppressed that thought.
I watched it about ten minutes as it moved slowly north. At on point it flashed brightly and shit straight up into the sky and disappeared. The acceleration rate was unbelievable. Must have good inertial dampers.
4 summers ago. Broad daylight. 1030am. Mid June.
5 slow moving cloud white discs in a clear western sky. Pinhead sized at arm’ s length. A tenth of an airliner?
Very small, slow moving southerly direction, very high altitude. W pattern, each at a point, equally spaced except for the last which trailed slightly.
Took15-20 minutes to pass as we made a U on our walk. Both of us wearing polarized sunglasses.
We weren’t the only ones looking.
Unidentified? Yes.
Alien? Probably US air force is my guess. Unpiloted.
Once, in the early 50’s. About 5 years old. Got up out of bed late one night (who knows why) looked out to the back yard, beam of light suddenly shone down from above and lit the place up. Silent. Watched a few seconds while the hair stood up on my neck and then shut the curtains and dove for the bed covers. Never told anyone.
Stood 12 to 4 watch a few years,T-Bay to Newfy Land, never saw a thing. Worked in the bush for years, drove nights from rig to home, never saw a thing. Took night shots of the Milky Way, northern lights, moon and planets, never saw a thing.
Wife and I saw an object in evening sky over Calgary, 5 or yrs ago, from backyard. Quite high, more than commercial passenger jet, no vapour trail, it did a hard 90 turn and disappears heading west.
“It’s Probably… Aliens”
Racist!
Our ancestors talked to these “A”s and these “A”s told our ancestors that they were Angels.
There are many accounts in the Bible and elsewhere. Many times the “A”s were just messengers.
The accounts showed that when they weren’t just messengers that they could be very dangerous and destructive.
These strange lights in the sky are not new phenomena and have been documented for thousands of years.
I’m amazed that is this day and age, where EVERYONE has a camera, we are still disputing the existence of Aliens, Sasquatch, Ogopogo, Yeti, Ghosts, Loch Ness monster, Elvis etc. etc. etc……………
