Yup, and I "remembered" it for decades. No one could have told me I was wrong.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Nope.
I’ve never been drunk enough to have alien encounters.

Anyone ever see a UFO?
How about an alien abduction experience?
Anything like that?
Let's hear 'em.
I was picking up Boss Lady after work one night.* As I was driving past the landing lights for STL-Lambert Field I saw a triangular UFO**. As we are very close to the location where the first "triangular UFO" was spotted, Belleville, Illinois, I started laughing. What I was seeing was an airplane's landing lights. It' "hovered" for the same reason some tornadoes ":don't seem to move at all", i.e., it was coming straight at me.
*She worked a forty hour week with a broken leg, getting off at 1:30 am. I dropped her off, got her wheelchair out of the truck, and I picked her up and put her chair back in the truck. Then she had to have a knee replacEment. So I had plenty of chance to see this phenomenon.
**It was truly a UFO until I identified it.

Theories were everything from aliens to a Russki invasion. Turned out, there were some people on the Lough playing with RC sailplanes with red and blue running lights.

BINGO...
Even with professional military pilots who have claimed to see things they didn't understand, all it means is that they didn't understand.
Not understanding what one saw does not make little green men a reality. It merely means the person who saw it didn't understand what they saw, thus the word "Unidentified".

You won't be laughing when all the planets of the Solar Federation are under their control.

Which is all EgoDeath was asking for - have you seen a flying object that you couldn't identify? You seem to be the only one in this thread equating 'UFO' with 'alien spacecraft from another planet.'
Sheesh.

I've said it before, I'll say it again... Brian is an expert at creating conflicts where they don't exist. He must be a wonder at dinner parties.

You have to have encountered aliens unless you live in a jar.
This did not evolve on earth:

As far as I’m aware I have never encountered or abducted an alien.
I have seen flying objects in the distance that I could not identify.
Was it a bird?
Was it a plane?
Was it some clown in a cape?
I don’t know. Pretty sure it wasn’t aliens, though.

Lol!
I wonder if atheists are less likely to see ghosts or UFOs... Hmm.
