lights =/= aircraft

There are a myriad of natural phenomena, optical illusions and - dare I say - mental aberrations that could account for one seeing lights in the sky.

I've seen several objects in the sky that I've not been able to immediately explain. Having been 'tricked' in this way and later realising the 'natural' explanations the idea of UFOs being explained as extra-terrestrial is not at all surprising to me.

I once saw what I at first thought was light from a helicopter one night, then it turned a tight angle and shot off toward space. I thought for a second that maybe UFOs were real, then I realized I was close to a military base. There is probably technology in the armed forces so advanced that most people do not know about it.

How do you know this has anything do with UFO's? The idea that these lights are aircraft is just crazy.

It could just be aliens playing with their equivalent of pocket laser lights that people use to annoy others at movie theaters, watch dogs chase, etc.

The aliens shine them, and watch you guys on the ground go nuts, and laugh their asses off.

My father says the same thing. I've heard others describe similar formations and "sweeps across the horizon."

I don't doubt it at this point. I really just have two thoughts, maybe three.

1) I really want to see it for myself.

2) Is it of present-tine Earth origin?

3) Please come to me and take me somewhere magical!

On the very, very slight chance that this isn't a troll it should be voted down to oblivion for being the purest form of anecdote.
