Hmm...I too will de-cloak for this one...seems all the weirdos crawl out of the woodwork with stories like these...
I've never seen what I would call a UFO, but I did see something I can't explain...
When I was, maybe, 12, my sister and a few friends were sliding in the snow on our front lawn. I'd guess it was about 7 o'clock at night and in the dead of winter, so it was pich black outside. I saw what to me looked like an asteroid, tumbling slowly in the sky. Now, imagine a Star Wars (tm) astroid field kind of asteroid. This was something straight out of the movie. Just a lone, tumbling, cratered asteroid about the size of a full moon.
I pointed it out to my friends, and they saw it too, so I bolted into the house to get my Dad. He, being an adult, had to put his boots on...then his coat...and by the time HE got outside, it was gone.
As an adult (this was 25 years ago) I know how rediculous it sounds. It couldn't have happened. There were no news reports of near-misses (Something THAT big would HAVE to be seen -- wouldn't it?) But I can still see it in my head -- an astreoid. Tubling in the sky.
Weird.

Micky - I ONLY do crosswords in pen. They write so smoothly on newsprint....an addiction almost...

Unless it looks like an onion ring, I don't see it either. I was hoping someone would point it out to me.
