Im sure this happens to everyone. Sorry no pics. I have been watching the skies for years now , but in Kansas all you usually see air traffic at 30,000 feet. Ocasionally a witch. Any ways to what I saw ....was out in the back yard with friends in the country. I am allways looking up when I here planes,( yes you can here them even when they are way up there ) so I was watching a comercial jet flying west when I notice what I thought was 3 geese . When birds fly the have that look of "flapping" they kind go from a dark to light color...depending on the bird. sorry for the lame discription , not as good with words like the most of you. Anyways they had that fazing kinda blinking from white/light to silver. These were flying straight east to the sunrise...ohh yeah this was around 9am central time June 25th. They were moving fast , I would say 2 too 3 times as fast as the planes. One of them droped back in formation then back up front . I just stood there with my mouth open the whole time trying to frigure what it was I was looking at. By the time I realized what they were I couldn't see them anymore because of the sun.

Im x-navy and know what speical craft look like that NASA and Lockheed make because I was stationed there in Cali. By the end of the day Im sure of what I saw . Now that the shock is over the next time I will not freeze and let others around me know and try to get a pic .

So my question is does that usually happen to you that have seen them ?

We live in Kansas as well and see planes, etc., but we have yet to see something remotely cool. Maybe what you seen will make its way here so we can get a picture of it...

Grats, sounds like a genuine UFO sighting.

Ijust figured that there is nothing intresting for them here , thus the lack of sightings.

I am beginning to think so too.....Im excited...feel like one of the gang now.

Thats the conclusion that i have come up with as well.....i mean what could they possibly think that is so great to visit Kansas? I'm sure they have seen plenty of crops for their crop circles....been there done that...
So what more could we have here that they could be interested in seeing?

Well like I said , they were moving along at a pretty good clip.
Wonder if MUFON reported anything.
The same reason no crop circles here is that there is no one here that would notice, the majority of people are drunk or in front of the TV.

I think I saw an UFO once im not sure probably it was two helicopters.
I think I saw two burnt yellow colored helicopters one flying on top of the other and they were in the same spot for more then 20 seconds in the sky....smells like ufo to me

but when i saw those i didnt stand still I was quiet in my sister's car but its weird how i didnt pay much attention its like UFO'S look!

i guess you saw ufos there

If you could kindly walk to the end of the hall, there are some gentleman who would like to review your post on the off chance you MIGHT have mistaken it for an airplane, not that were telling you what you saw may have been something else, but perhaps you were mistaken or at best had a beer or two, or simply tired from work.

HEHE.....yeah....prolly drunk is more likely....i'll keep you posted if we ever see anything....but i'll keep my camera handy so i can take a pic......

You know, I wonder about that myself . A MIB visit....but since I don't have any proof, I think they will let me slide this time.....still the thought is creepy.

I have had three sightings. All of them very close.

I ran from pure fear the first time but stood still the second time.

The third time I fell myself being pulled toward the craft. I walked to get closer but my daughter grabbed me and broke whatever pull there was on my body and mind.

I think it's normal to just stand and stare when you see a UFO.

Yes, it does, I had a camera rolling during my last sighting but it was mounted on a tripod and pointed at the moon which was on the opposite side. I startled at the object and after stunning 5 seconds I realised I had to film it, nervously grabbed the camera and turned around, but the object was already gone. Previous sightings weren't that exiting for me, more like "oh well" and no camera present, but this one was close, that shook me.

Just keep watching the skies, just like I'm doing at the moment, sitting on my balcony with my laptop, some pot, a coke, no wind and 75° F at 00:12 AM local time. All it needs now is a jazzy saxophone in the distance and a strange light in the sky!

The reason people dont see a bunch of UFOs weekly is because people rarely look up to the sky for more than a few minutes here and there.

if people fished the way they watch for UFOs, we would be a starving bunch of people.

Nice find, hopefully it will encourage you to spend a entire evening on a blanket with some friends looking up, identifying the moving lights, looking at the stuff that doesnt make sense, etc.

Last night, I was laying down..watching the sky (just a quick smoke break...been overcast here so not alot of skyviewing)..the clouds were gone, it was about 1am. I seen a shooting star (thats normal), but what wasnt normal was right at the end, it curved sharply...making a J pattern

that was a first.

anyhow, good job.
