If you see something completely mysterious, it can put you off balance. Don’t worry if it’s an alien spacecraft or not; if you can’t identify that weird thing in the sky, then consider it a UFO. Note the time and the place you are at that moment. Then, let your intuition be your best guide.
Just try to focus on the moment, as you would if you think you are watching a rare animal. Keep still, keep quiet and try to enjoy yourself. If you are used to meditating, now would be a great time to use watching the UFO as if it were a meditation. Gently push aside any thoughts of being on television or if you are going to receive an anal probe. By focusing on the moment, you can be surer that what you are seeing is real and not “wishful seeing.”
This writer hasn’t had the privilege of seeing a UFO, but I sure thought I heard one. Being born and raised in Pennsylvania, I was unaware of the sound a Concorde makes when it flies over southern England. When I moved to England, I nearly peed in my pants the first time I heard a sonic boom from a Concorde (which was then still flying). A sonic boom is a very unearthly sound (no pun intended). It’s also very ominous.
Fortunately, I was able to get the mysterious Unidentified Flying Boom identified, partially by not embellishing my story and noting where and when I was at the time of the boom. Quickly, I was able to find many other people who also heard the boom at the exact same time. At least I knew the boom did not presage disaster. Now I was free to find more things to stress out about. But at least I had some practice in trying to be a reliable witness.
Take as much time as you need to decide whether you are going to tell anybody about your UFO sighting. Although you are probably dying of curiosity to find out what it is you saw, you also don’t want to be humiliated in public. Your instinct will tell you whether you should speak up or stay silent. If there is a media announcement about reports of strange phenomena, then please report it.
If more than a few other people in your area report seeing something similar to what you did on the same night (or day), then tell. Even if the mysterious object is not a UFO, it could still probably help others figure out what it was, what it could be, or let the Air Force know their latest secret experiment was not so secret.
