I saw a UFO over Taipei, Taiwan and blew it by forgetting to load my camcorder!

Date of sighting: May 26, 2012
Location of sighting: Taipei, Taiwan

I (SCW) took my family to see the MIB movie today. It was noon. As we were walking on an overhead bridge over a busy street, I noticed the Taipei 101 building nearby. Remember Taipei 101 was the worlds tallest building once. I pulled out my Sony Camcorder (DCR DVD301) that has a 950nm infrared filter on it and looked around. I didn't expect to see anything because it was a real overcast day. No blue sky at all and a lot of smog. I noticed an outline in the smog, but I couldn't see it without the camera. The infrared revealed a long cigar shaped whitish object moving about the speed of a car. It was flying just 6-7 floors above the ten floor buildings away from me. I pressed record…the the words "No Disk" appeared below the UFO in my viewfinder. My heart stopped as I watched it fade into the smog. It was as long as the tops of the buildings it was passing over. About 30-40 meters. It was the longest 7 seconds of my life and I messed it up by not having the evidence needed to prove it. Bottom line…I screwed up, but it won't happen again…I hope. O_o

This is the second time I saw a UFO in Taipei, the other was on Jan 1, 2012 during the New Years fireworks and yes, I did record it. The Examiner.com called it the first UFO sighting of 2012. Click here to view it.  Scott Waring.
