I've seen two UFOs, both with several other people there who also saw them.

The first one was when I was a kid (around 12) with my mom and other random people on the street, we saw two blue lines of light that went parallel across the whole sky, and purple spotlights in a line between them that turned on and off after each other. I'd have said it was just my child's mind making things up if it weren't for my mom, who still tells this story often, and everyone else who saw it.

The second one was when I was about 23, my then girlfriend and me were waiting on a tram during sunset with about 10 other people, the sky was fully covered in clouds and there were these two orbs, one black and one white, that zoomed around incredibly quickly then stopped on a dime and then went another direction, very erratic movement. They went up and disappeared into the clouds then came back down in a different place. After a couple of minutes, they stopped kinda close to each other then slowly flew closer to one another and when they were so close they became one they lit up brightly with a blue shine and shot up into the clouds, the light from them was so strong that we saw it through the clouds for several seconds as they seemed to exit earth's atmosphere and become smaller and smaller from our point of view.

To be clear, I'm very much a skeptic of stuff like this and I'm very scientifically minded. I still have no idea what any of them were, nothing even close to a logical explanation. But to me it's not much more than "dang, that was cool as fuck and weird, wonder what it was?", I don't want or need to think they were aliens, something form the future, classified military stuff or whatever. I'll never know what they were and I've just accepted that.
Nothing else I've seen, both in person and in video, photographs etc. is good enough to convince me there are beings or tech here that isn't from us, or is some military or any other way secret high-tech or "different-tech".
