There’s many people who believe in the phenomenon who find these recent videos problematic and for good reasons.
Indeed!
With all that's going on today, and with all the advanced technology available, you simply don't know what or who to believe.
A lot of people are, in varying degrees....... vulnerable, gullible.

If you mind me asking, can you recall your state of mind at the time you had your experience? Was it pure wtf curiosity or more like the primal stillness of being in the wilderness and seeing a wild animal? What sort of thoughts were going through your mind? Sorry if this is intrusive.

Actually, even since 5 decades have passed, I can pretty much still envision the incident.
I've always been a pretty level-headed and focused person, even when young, and always seemed to be "in control" of my thoughts and actions. I rarely got into fights in school for instance. If I wound up in an argument, I handle it a lot more "sedately" and calmly then some others. Some people raise their voices, scream and yell, I on the other hand speak in a level tone, and that ticks people off in an argument because they must think I'm being weird or something.
This type of behavior apparently got me farther in school, teachers were generally fond of me.
That said, when I looked out the window, at first it was to maybe get some breeze since that night was a typical July night.
Plus, that table fan was right near the window, and when I turned it back on, that air felt so nice.
But that "thing" caught my attention, because I knew it wasn't normal to be there, and Mr Allen wouldn't have such a weird thing over his house.
The first thing I realized is that it wasn't attached by some cord, it just floated there - that made me perk up, and I stared at it for a few minutes in wonder.
After I was convinced that it wasn't going to move, I went to my parents bedroom to wake mom to show her this thing, but she refused. I could hear that high pitched tone even in their bedroom, but apparently she could not.
I can now attribute that to aging, where people don't hear high frequencies like young ears can.
So I went back, and the thing continued to hover, like it was locked in place, I remember kneeling by the window, putting my elbows on the sill, staring at it, wondering where it came from and why it was there... until maybe 20 minutes or so it shot up as I described earlier.
My mindset as best as I remember was "wow, what the hell was that thing?"
I wasn't scared, from this whole thing, I was kind of in awe.
Yet, I crept back in bed, thinking about it until I eventually fell asleep.
The next day, I pretty much woke without it being on my mind, I got myself together and went down for breakfast, I could smell mom cooking.
Then it all started flashing back - what I saw, and when mom saw me, she immediately got on my case for waking her up.
Her argument was that dad was out late drinking with the guys, was drunk, and she didn't want him to wake up because he'd be tormentive, let him sleep it off.
She said "what was so importent that you had to bother me in bed?"
I told her, and she thought I was just being an annoying teen - and that was the end of it.
Like I previously said, eventually I put it out of my mind, due to the negative responses from people if I did bring it up.
I chalk it up to "never knowing the reason" and got on with life.

these experiences can be quite disturbing and we carry them for ever, in my case unrelated to UFO’s but was significant. Keeping a level head is a credit to you
I know, I used to sleep walk as a small child. I had to be redirected to the toilet by my father who would catch me peeing in the kitchen waste basket at night. 🙂
When I read that, it reminded me of something similar that happened at home when I was a kid....
My old man as I mentioned, was a drunk.
One night when he came home from the bar, he was so drunk he could barely walk.
He made it up the stairs to the hallway, and halfway to the bathroom.... but apparently stopped and turned, and peed over the hallway railing down onto the stairs.
I suppose he was thinking it was the trough urinal at the bar.
I was walking my dog in the local woods once when I spotted a Red Setter sitting very still about 50-60 meters away. When I was 30 meters away I started wondering why it doesn't move and who it might belong to as there were no people around.
When I was 20 meters away I realized that it was a yew tree trunk.

At least you didn't whistle saying, "Here boy, here boy!". Then you'd feel even more stupid...

And no wings, no means of propulsion, nothing we know that typically has to be on these things in order to maneuver and fly.

You're just posting the same videos over and over again but from different sources, all these videos have been debunked as being man-made or natural objects, in summary the objects have been identified as military aircraft, bird or weather balloon, artifacts of aircraft targeting systems, hot-air balloon, out of focus night vision camera, how many times does this need to be explained and pointed out. It's beyond ridiculous.
They also mention UFOs here:
No longer confined to the fringe, UFO theories move into the mainstream
See what some french guys (retired generals) wrote in 1999.
The bottom line is the same:
Give us more money!
The military

Indiglo, have you considered how you sound? Just because you don't believe in something doesn't mean you can claim something has been debunked when it has not been. To me it sounds like you're engaging in overt propaganda here. A lot of people cannot live with ambiguity so they claim something isn't real because they do not yet understand it. Yet.
I'm not a person to project facts on events where facts have not been established. You are projecting facts when you say its been debunked. The events are real and have not been debunked. There is a middle ground where you can observe something, other witnesses can corroborate it, but none of them understand it. That's what those reports show: the observations are real but the comprehension is lagging.
I find it equally repellent to project understanding of events when there is none. That's why I think it's equally bad to totally believe someone who says we've been visited for thousands of year, or that they are us from the future. That's all total bs that no one could possibly know. Do you want to put yourself in the same category as those people? To me that's what you're doing when you say it all been debunked. You're engaging in the same lack of critical thinking. Learn to live with the ambiguity of not knowing and quit being such a scaredy cat that has to jump to conclusions prematurely.

UFO only means a flying object which could not be positively identified.
It doesn't mean it's aliens.

I do know how I sound, it's based upon rational thought and just plain common-sense, all the UFO videos have been explained but people live in denial and refuse to accept common-sense and reality because of their personal belief systems. Your post is an example of this mentality. There is zero evidence that any extraterrestrial lifeform or space craft has visited our planet. There is no ambiguity nor am I projecting facts, just plausible explanations based upon people who have already conducted the research. I am not scared of reality, only people who are incapable of accepting plausible explanations for things they don't understand. There's certainly no lack of critical thinking on my behalf, I've been one of the few posters resorting to simple common-sense and nothing else.
To say scientific theory is propaganda is laughable, lagging comprehension is a symptom of a problem in society.
In future if you don't understand something, do some research from credible scientific sources. Then we may have something in common to discuss.
Some of the posts in this thread can be only explained from a psychological or psychiatrical perspective.

Will all due respect Eric, I have been supportive of your contributions here and it’s clear you take issue with some of the speculative theories put forth for the sake of conversation. It’s not exactly clear why you’re so bothered by mere speculation but your eagerness to throw sympathetic advocates under the bus to appeal to somebody who is clearly arguing in bad faith (this has already been established) is unbecoming.
@Indiglo:
Just a brief perusal of your posts to diyaudio exhibits a penchant for inflammatory interactions with forum members. So what gives?
