I have seen a UFO. It was at least 50 years ago. I was driving north thru Franconia Notch NH. It popped into view thru the car windshield, zipped across the Notch and disappeared behind Mt. Lafayette. It was perfectly round, about the size of the sun or the moon and shining white brightly. It was only in view for a matter of seconds.
Some years later I was on active duty in USAF. I was on the flight line the night we scrambled the alert birds, nuclear armed alert birds, after a UFO that showed up on SAGE (Semi Automatic Ground Environment) radar. We were pretty sure it was a UFO; it was going supersonic at fairly low altitude going right over Duluth. Had it been a real solid object it would have generated a sonic boom right over town and the base switch board would have lit up with outraged calls from citizens. We didn’t get a single call that night. Our F106 fighters could do mach 2 which should have been enough to catch it. The pilots didn’t catch sight of anything, either by eye or by radar.
Next day, checking up on things, we found that a new radar had been wired into SAGE the day before. Checking found that some wires had been crossed, causing the data from the new radar to be 180 degrees off. That was fixed, and we never saw another UFO on SAGE
