I saw a UFO

Firstly, I'm a sceptic, but Brett has said it's ok for me to share my experience, ask questions, but to stay civil. Well, I will stay civil, but sometimes I've found to believers to be uncomfortable if I ask question. I can't help that.
I saw a UFO when at Milldwon Middle School in Blandford, Dorset. I was about 12/13. I was with the older of my oyunger brothers, who saw it too. It was a cloudy day. What looked liek a black disk moved across the sky, and then looked to have disappeared. at the time, liking hte X Files, paranormal activity and the rest, I thought this was well cool, especially as my brother could back up the sighting. As I began to question things more, and became the sceptic I am today, I always wondered what i'd seen, and left the answer as "I don't know".
Many years later, well, about a year and a half ago, I saw almost exactly the same thing. However, this time the sky was less clody. The more I watched the black disk, the more it started to change, until, eventually, I saw that it was a bird.
I am now almost certain that it was a bird I had seen in my youth. Loving the X Files and such, not only did the object look like a disk, but I also would have wnated to have seen it be a UFO, and when it must have gone behind a cloud and out of sight, well, obviously it disappeared as opposed to just leaving my line of sight.
Here's another example of a UFO encounter a sceptic had, click .
On top of that, I recently saw video, and it had a great Big Foot tale.
It seems to me that most things do seem to have a rational explanation, without having to invoke the supernatural, aliens, conspiracies and the rest.
As Fox Mulder's poster said "I want to believe". I used to want to beleive too. I still do, but would add "the truth" at the end of that statement. I think the only way to get that is to keep questioning things.
What do you guys think?
