I for one am interested. I'm a scientist, but also have been studying the modern UFO phenomenon and think there's something to it. UFO's are in the 1% in the phrase "99% of conventional wisdom is correct."
I make no truth claims about UFO sightings. Simply because I don't have a particular experience, doesn't mean other people haven't. But since UFO sightings are not a common experience they have limited utility as cultural stories. How does the story change how I should behave? On an individual level they are interesting because it carries information about the teller. Kind of like me telling someone about the time I hiked to the bottom of the grand canyon. It has no cultural significance but it does have interpersonal significance. Though I will admit seeing a UFO is a much more interesting story.
Hard to describe. When it moved, there was no discernible acceleration, and the same when it stopped. I saw it in year 2000, along with my mom and grandma. After zipping across the sky and abruptly stopping, three smaller things came out of the bottom and they circles each other for a minute, and then all four abruptly zipped off in different directions.
