Those are called hallucinations. Ever heard of Occam's razor? If not you should research it.
Basically it says that when trying to select from among competing hypotheses whichever one makes the fewest assumptions and has the simplest explanation is probably correct. So, which of these is more likely and requires the fewest assumptions: A) A super advanced alien civillization with a way to warp space-time in a way that they can travel between solar systems came to Earth, but appeared only to you as an "object in the sky" then apparently just went back home or hid themselves. B) You had some sort of a mystical "vision" of an alien spacecraft for some unknown reason inspired by some unknown entity/event.
C) You are "remembering" an event that took place many years ago and your mind is creating memories that don't exist, or greatly exagerating something that did happen (pretty common). Or D) You were hallucinating. I'm going to have to go with C or D.
If you weren't on drugs, or running a fever or something at the time then it was probably C. I have a similar false memory, though mine is easily proven false. I have always been fascinated with aviation and airplanes themselves.
So have always been able to name just about every plane I see in the sky. I have a VERY vivid memory from when I was about 10 years old of being in my front yard with my mom and grandmother (who lived with us at the time) and seeing a Douglas DC-10 airliner fly overhead just barely above the big tree in our front yard, maybe 300 feet above the ground. It was white with red stripes and I clearly remember seeing the windows on the side of the plane and the flashing position lights and rotating beacon.
The landing gear was up and the flaps were down. Obviously this would have been quite the unusual occurence since we live nowhere near an airport and would have been quite loud. My mom has NO memory of such an encounter with a wayward airliner even though I distinctly "remember" her standing right next to me looking at it with me.
So either it was a dream that I just now remember as reality, I hallucinated it, or my mind created this "memory" years after the fact. I also have a vivid memory of when I was around the same age of me piloting a Bell Jet Ranger helicopter with MacGyver as my co-pilot..... I was watching MacGyver while running about 104 degree temperature. I vividly remember flying the helicopter.....I also vividly remember waking up in the bathtub after my parents shoved me in there with it full of ice to bring down my fever....... The same thing has happened to you I'm afraid.
You saw an object that appeared to be flying but didn't know what it was. That's all you can say about it - you couldn't identify these flying objects. To go from there to the idea that it was a manufactured, piloted space craft is indicative of wishful thinking - looking for something exciting, mysterious and - well, fun!
The circumstances under which you believe you viewed these things could very well help explain what they were. But you also admit it was years and years ago. You admit you don't even grasp the concept of "orbiting".
What you don't admit is that memory is not perfect: your mind does not make an exact copy of past experiences that it can replay like a digital recording. Nobody's mind does that - not even mine. Your best bet?
Just chalk it up as one of life's odd experiences and don't waste time trying to analyze it. No harm was done, no contact was made, and you do have more important things to concern yourself with.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
