I've been reading this forum a lot lately and I think maybe its getting to me. Last night, I woke up for no reason and noticed a star like object zipping all over the place. I lept out of bed and pressed my face against the window to see this thing moving all over the place.

Since I had just woken up, my eyes were all out of focus. It seemed like the more I woke up, the more this thing stayed still and looked more like Venus.

I think I was half awake and dreaming this thing moving all over the place, but the more I woke up, the more it looked normal. The thing is, I still feel like I saw something, even though it was almost certainly just a semi-dream.

Damn you ATS!!!

If anything..ATS has made you more AWARE of your surroundings.
That's a gift, not a curse.
I have seen ufo's..before I knew what to look for..and after joining here.
There is a HUGE difference.
Pay attention.
Do not just disregard what you see.
What do you think is the reason for you to suddenly wake up?
There are no accidents.

Well if you saw an OBJECT that was FLYING you COULD'NT IDENTIFY, then you saw a UFO. Whether it was an Tarkalian Battle cruiser or just a moth reflecting some dude lighting a cigarette by your house is another matter.

As AccessDenied says, ATS has made you more aware, opened you up to new ideas.
What once you maybe would have dismissed as 'just a plane/chopper' you now consider to be something of potential significance. Don't discount everything. Who knows? One day you might discover the smoking gun.
