Thought I would mention some of my best (of only a few, please note) sightings here. The first was of a classic "disc", or saucer, if one prefers, which I witnessed as a daytime sighting several decades ago. Appearing to be a silver-metallic color, it seemed to be simply cruising along in horizontal flight, not terribly fast, then turned into a vertical position before entering a large cloud, and, evidently, it stayed there-in for some time, as it did not re-appear. It has been speculated that UFOs use clouds occasionally in which to stay out of sight, and this certainly seems to have been the case here.
The other incident occurred a few years later, and involved an "ice cream cone" - like object which passed over the highway say, roughly three hundred feet up, on a bright, sunny day. This latter object appeared more white in color than silver, as the disc did, having what appeared to be two sections to it, or at least, a circular black mark about halfway between the rear-section, and the nose-cone. The nose-cone had a protruding "pole,' which reminded me of an antenna-pole, although I doubt it was actually that. Totally silent, and had no exhaust-flames, or trail visible. Luckily, several others were outside enjoying the warm summer day, and witnessed this "cone" as well. Was in an auto at the time, but if any significant noise was being made, would most likely have heard it, regardless.
Sorry these weren't more spectacular. There have been others, although most have been of the "nocturnal lights" nature. The most interesting of these latter night-time lights was a bright, blood-red light which showed-up in the southeastern sky roughly thirty to sixty minutes after sunset. The most curious thing about it, is that it seemed to prefer showing up only in the spring, and summer months for perhaps two years in a row, maybe three, then vanished for good. Was evidently at a great altitude,for binoculars failed to resolve it as anything more than a bright point of light, perhaps on the edge of space. As far I was able to ascertain, nobody else made any official reports, but then, the ridicule-factor was a good deal more intense for all three of these sightings then, than today.
