Perhaps they are the same floating disks or "ships" reported in 1461 (Paris, FR) 1492 (Over Columbus 4 hours before sighting land) 1697 (Hamburg, GER)\n1561 (nuremburg, GER) 1577 (Basil, Switzerland)\n\nSee "The Annunciation" painting by Cravelli to see ship depicted with the Virgin Mary.

Hi, I answered this question earlier. I'm going to cut and paste it for you.\n--\nMost sightings happen at night. People see strange lights or shapes in the sky.\nMine happened in broad daylight. Crystal clear blue sky. About noon. No sun in my eyes. An object appeared in the sky directly in front of me. It was traveling parallel to the ground. It wasn't zipping along at lightning fast speed. It was fairly slow. About airplane speed. \nIt wasn't more than a half mile away. Fairly low in the sky.\nI could see every detail. The color. It was a semi-shiny or brushed metallic almost burnt looking. Very hard to explain. All one color. No markings. No lights. I could see the intricate patterns of the body. I wont ever describe them. I'm not planting any seeds. When I hear an identical description then I'll know it was real. You see this was 25 years ago. To this day nobody has matched the description. Not even close. I watched it for a few seconds. I was in amazement. It simply vanished. \n--\nPsst, don't take me wrong. I'm not discounting your sighting at all. Just because it was at night doesn't mean you didn't see it. I totally believe you. Look at my story. People tell me I imagined it. What do they know anyway!\n.

They exist, but you'll probably have to look in the Southwestern United States to find them. They're not exactly common anywhere else.

There are aliens out there.  I work with some and I suspect they are not all legal.

This sounds typically like ball lightning - a name that has been coined for this type of phenomenon is "earth lights".\n\nEarth lights are a rare anomalous light phenomenon, mistaken throughout history as dragons, UFOs, and ball lightning before being recognised as a separate category. One leading theory is that they are produced by tectonic strain in minor fault lines, so that they are literally generated by the earth.\n\nIn America they've been called "spooklights" or "ghost lights" since at least the 1950s, but Persinger and Lafrenière were the first scientists to recognise the phenomenon, in the late 1970s. The lights were renamed and brought to wider public attention by Paul Devereux in 1982 with his publication "Earth Lights".\n\nThey appear in many colours, shapes, and sizes, though the basketball-sized globular orange variety seems most common. Most sightings occur at night, when some lights can be seen from miles around. They're reported to be able to move against the wind and reach extraordinary speeds. Their terrestrial nature means that though many sightings are sporadic, there are some locations where they appear relatively often. It's through studying these hotspots, such as Hessdalen in Norway and the Engligh Pennines, that their characteristics become evident.\n\nPlease see links below.

It's extremely rare, but can sometimes be seen in the northern states.  Probably when it's a large display on a very clear night.  I remember seeing something that everyone says was the Northern Lights in Connecticut as a kid but I was pretty young.  Could have been fireworks for all I know.

If you are talking about space aliens or aliens from another planet, there are not any.\nNo aliens have been found that are extraterrestrial.\n\nIf you just want a story, click links below.

It is a very sad statement about the population of the US that so many want to believe this sort of nonsense, and alien abduction etc. It is even worse when about 1/3 of the population does not know the earth orbits the sun, and a large fraction of US adults cannot locate the US on a globe. \n\nI will not dismiss out of hand all accounts of supernatural phenomenon, but most of it is explained by vagaries of the human mind and its processes, which is basically uncharted territory. If there are ghosts etc, where is the evidence?

ok, the FBI say that nothing happend, cause they dont want people to know about aliens.  second, my true belief, as many others, is that there was a ufo, it crashed in roswell, aliens were dead inside, and were taken to a place called area 51.  (alot of people think it's in nevada, and i have proof-though i might get arrested for saying this in public lol)  i also saw some ufo sightings on tv once...

The US government will tell the truth about contact with extraterrestrials when it actually happens.\nNow go put your tinfoil hat back on.

I've seen an alien, they're in the form of light. and aren't reflective. They dont have bodies, and they communicate at radiowaves so high we cannot hear. they dont have faces.

It is quite prevalent in the United States.

UFOs, if they exist, probably are not constrained to the laws of gravity like us, they probably have mechanisms that allow them to exist in another dimension and partially phase into our dimensions for scientific study. They probably rarely are seen and or land on land in our universe, as the gravity is probably to powerful or too weak for their bodies. The fact that they are ever seen means they are probably interested in how we interpret seeing them. all for scientific research.

Are you a caveman or have you just arrived from the middle ages.\n\nevery body knows by now that Aliens exist,there are even a lot of Aliens living on Earth right now.\nwe know of three kinds for sure ,there are the Nordics,who come from Mars originally (they are blond or red haired with blue or green eyes)and there are the Ananuki and Lemurians ,who are more like Lizards but very powerfull and intelligent,and there is the other kind with a big head and very big eyes ,but they are very weak and die easy.they had one alive for a while in area 51 in ARIZONA.\n\nwe are supposed to have come from the Nordics.\n\nAtlantis was an Alien settlement, and in the bible are many reports of Alien encounters.\n\ncheck http//Alien watch or\n David Icke the biggest secret on www,infowars.\nalso Discovery channel ..Aliens in the Bible--\n\nAnd this is not anymore a question of belief ,this is the truth.\nIn  India,the Orient,South America ,Central America and even Europe , Aliens have always featured in the legends of these cultures origins.

Yes... but the only aliens visiting us are illegals... little space men are the modern era's version of goblins and other mythical creatures.\n\nGive me any real video of a UFO and I can give you an atmospheric, scientific explanation...\n\nREAL LIFE and nature is so much more interesting than silly UFO stories. READ A PHYSICS TEXT BOOK!
