A Memorable UFO Sighting
Time: Around 8 PM in the mid-1990s
Location: Seaside, Oregon
During my childhood in the 90s, I lived in a quaint coastal town in Oregon. One evening, my father and I decided to take our two dogs for a walk around 8 PM. As we strolled across the baseball field at the end of our street, I glanced up at the night sky and noticed a “star” that caught my attention. It had a distinct appearance that set it apart from the others. Curious, I asked my dad, “What is that?” He casually replied, “It’s just a star.”
Despite his reassurances, I couldn’t shake the feeling of unease as I continued to look up. Each time I glanced back, it seemed as though the “star” was drawing closer. I attempted to describe what I was seeing to my dad, but he dismissed my concerns without even bothering to look.
Just when I tried to redirect my focus, I noticed that the dogs were acting strangely—tails tucked and ears back, clearly anxious. I couldn’t resist looking up once more. To my astonishment, hovering just above the trees, maybe 200 to 400 feet overhead, was a massive UAP. It was the quintessential flying saucer: a large metallic craft adorned with circular lights along its perimeter. What struck me most was how fast and silently it glided through the air.
When my panic escalated, my father finally turned to see what I was pointing at. Without hesitation, he shouted, “Run!” He took my hand, and we hurried back home. That moment remains ingrained in my memory as a pivotal experience, one that ignited my curiosity about the unusual, marking the beginning of several other strange encounters in my life.
Wow, what an intense experience! It must have been so surreal to see something like that at such a young age. The fact that the dogs were acting nervously adds another layer to the situation—animals often seem to sense things we can’t. It’s interesting how your dad was initially dismissive, but when he finally saw it, the urgency in his reaction must have been alarming. It’s amazing how such moments can stay with you and shape your perspective. Have you had any other unusual encounters since then that you think might be related?
