Hello everyone.
I’ve had a strong interest in UFO’s now for as long as I can remember. I’m not really decided on a theory yet i.e. man made or extraterrestrial but I certainly believe that they are flying in our skies. Anyways last night I decided I would sleep outdoors and partake in my very own sky watch to hopefully witness the phenomena.
Unfortunately I got drunk fell asleep and woke up at 5am cold and damp! I did however see a very nice sunrise so it won’t all bad!

My point is as anyone had any success with sky watching cause I'm thinking of trying it again minus the booze.

PS Thinking about it maybe I didn't fall alseep maybe I was taken!! lol

Buy yourself a telescope (130mm = 5") keep an eye on the moon. I watched 2 objects orbit the moon for an hour one night (Oct/2004). Thought it was satellites, wasn't. Not sure what I saw. I'm sure what ever is going on up there is still going on. Probably your best chance.

Cool good idea I think a mates got quite a good telescope might have to borrow it, lets just hope the clouds don't come back anytime soon!

The easiest way to see what you are looking for is to keep looking up. They are FAST and can stop and go on a dime. Don't blink or you'll miss them.

I started seeing 'iris' lights (bright white, light up and fade to black evenly from the center, sometimes changing location) in the sky before I saw an actual craft. The lights were pretty common in the area and have been seen by several people locally.

I will tell you that when you get the confirmation you are looking for (and I hope you do) to be emotionally ready for it. Sounds silly, but it's up there with meeting Jesus. It confirms what you wanted to believe with all your heart as truth, as truth. More questions than answers will come from the experience.

Hard luck sir!

Just a thought... were you locked out or were
you visiting a female ATSer? I mean, using this
site as a cop-out or alibli may not be ethical.

Try laying on a car bonnet with a blonde mate,
maybe wear a base-ball cap with Aurora on it?

"Okay... keep lookin' up... Aaarrgghhh!"

My Missus' and I enjoy "looking up" together when time and circumstance allow. Your "failure" is really a victory and not a small victory either... some folks never get to the point of wonder let alone doing something about it - you have and next time you "observe" you will be beter prepared by your previuos experience! Cheers!

Actually had a chance to try this again last night, didn't take any cider or a sleeping bag so didn't pass out err I mean fall asleep!

I don't think I saw anything strange just planes and shooting stars moving about, but It was a very relaxing couple of hours highly recommended for chilling out and you never know what you might see!

I'm going to do some research on basic astronomy next so I can tell the planets from the stars and then take it from here.

It is relaxing just watching the skies.

I do it quite often and never see anything strange. The last time I thought I did, I made a fool out of myself by jumping to conclusions before I did any research.

Good luck in future sky watches.
