It was definitely a UFO.

What's important to remember though is what the acronym UFO stands for ... Unidentified Flying Object. By that definition what I saw certainly fits the criteria. But that doesn't provide any quantifiable evidence about the birth planet of the pilot. It was an unidentifiable flying object, but there are many explanations aside from a license plate that's not from our solar system ... experimental aircraft, light anomalies, optical illusions, hoaxes, etc., etc. It's fun to think they're alien aircraft, but being a born skeptic, I want quantifiable evidence.
Good explanation and pretty much what I saw, except it followed me from Castlegar to Princeton on a late night drive. My passenger also watched it and when I stopped for gas the attendant also saw it. I don't know what it was or where it came from, maybe just a weird light and it was the Kootenays.

I should also add that I tried to hitch a ride from whatever it was, but I was unsuccessful.

I heard that Mars is sending one of their 'Earth Landers' today. Maybe that's what all those lights were about.

I just realized something. If you did infact see a UFO and those guys circling it were fighting it, those guys are Foo Fighters!

^^^ Actually Foo Fighter is the full name for UFO I believe, not the ones fighting them. If they were fighting them they would be foo fighter fighters.

The above is a typical example of an encounter with a "foo fighter." Toward the end of World War II pilots began reporting seeing strange glowing balls flying around their aircraft at night. The objects seemed to maneuver with great speed and the Allies began to worry that the German's had developed a new weapon with startling capabilities.

Dude, yes...

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/foo%20fighter

EDIT: That's right Dion, the pilots (Japanese I think) called the UFO's 'foo fighters'. They themselves were not 'foo fighters'.

Better definition.

The objects were dubbed "foo fighters." because of a popular comic strip at the time, Smoky Stover. Smoky was fond of saying "Where there's foo there's fire" and the objects seem to be fiery, rounded shapes.

And thats why they choose the name Foo Fighters for the organization because the word for fire in french is feu
