Mercury Astronaut Gordon Cooper Admits To Alien Craft Existance
Mercury Astronaut Gordon Cooper Admits To Alien Craft Existance
Gordon Cooper was one of America’s original astronauts. He helped pioneer this country’s space exploration efforts when, aboard a tiny space capsule known as Mercury [Faith] 7, Cooper orbited the Earth for 34 hours, proving that man could live outside our atmosphere for prolonged periods. His patriotism, bravery and respectability go without saying…
Cooper has recently made several public pronouncements concerning his strong belief in UFOs. While a guest on the Merv Griffin Show, Cooper shocked the viewing audiences by speaking for over five minutes on a topic that was only within the past few years often considered too bizarre for polite conversation.
But there were some things that Cooper wouldn’t even discuss on the air in front of the curious multitudes. Luckily Lee Spiegel is a personal friend of Gordon Cooper. They have conferred on several occasions, and while in the company of the man who is bound and determined to crack the ‘Cosmic Watergate’ which he is convinced exists within the higher echelon of government, the former space traveler is more than happy to talk about his UFO experiences – and they are man.
In the early 1950s, Cooper was assigned to a jet fighter group in Germany. While stationed there, he remembersvery vividly the week an entire formation of circular objects passed over the Air Base on almost a daily routine.
‘We never could get close enough to pin them down, but they were round in shape and very metallic looking,’ Cooper points out. UFOs were to continue to haunt him when the Air Force Colonel was transferred several years later to Edwards Air Force Base Flight Test Center in the California desert.
What happened one afternoon while he was on duty at this military base is evidence enough that the government definitely does keep a lot of secrets when it comes to UFOs!
The incident took place in the late 1950s, either 1957 or 1958 – as Cooper can best recall; and to this day, the photographic evidence of an actual UFO touching down upon the Earth is being kept under wraps.
During this period, Cooper was a Project Manager at Edwards Air Force Base, just three or four years before entering America’s space program. After lunch this particular day, Cooper had assigned a team of photographers to an area of the vast dry lake beds near Edwards.
In a taped interview with UFOlogist Lee Spiegel, the former Astronaut disclosed thatwhile the crew was out there, they spotted a strange-looking craft above the lake bed, and they began taking films of it.
Cooper says the object was very definitely ‘hovering above the ground. And then it slowly came down and sat on the lake bed for a few minutes.’ All during this time the motion picture cameras were filming away.
‘There were varied estimates by the cameramen on what the actual size of the object was,’ Cooper confesses, ‘but they all agreed that it was at least the size of a vehicle that would carry normal-sized people in it.’
Col. Cooper was not fortunate enough to be outside at the time of this incredible encounter, but he did see the films as soon as they were rushed through the development process.
‘It was a typical circular-shaped UFO,’ he recollects. ‘Not too many people saw it, because it took off at quite a sharp angle and just climbed straight on out of sight!’
Cooper admits he didn’t take any kind of poll to determine who had seen the craft, ‘because there were always strange things flying around in the air over Edwards.’ This is a statement Lee Spiegel was able to verify through his own research efforts, having obtained closely guarded tapes of conversations between military pilots circling the base and their commanding officers in the flight tower, tracking the presence of unknown objects.
‘People just didn’t ask a lot of questions about things they saw and couldn’t understand,’ notes Cooper, who adds that it was a lot simpler to look the other way, shrug one’s shoulders, and chalk up what had been seen to ‘just another experimental aircraft that must have been developed at another area of the air base.’
But what about the photographic proof – the motion picture footage – that was taken? ‘I think it was definitely a UFO,’ Cooper states, as he makes no bones about it. ‘However, where it (the object) came from and who was in it is hard to determine, because it didn’t stay around long enough to discuss the matter – there wasn’t even time to send out a welcoming committee!’
After he reviewed the film at least a dozen times, the footage was quickly forwarded to Washington. Cooper no doubt expected to get a reply in a few weeks’ time as to what his men had seen and photographed, but there was no word, and the movie *vanished* – never to surface again….
On coast-to-coast television, Cooper recently made a blockbuster statement that had the telephone lines tied up the next day, as viewers telephoned the stations which carried the syndicated Merv Griffin Show, anxious to find out if their ears had been playing tricks on them the night before.
Toward the end of the talk-show host’s interview with the former Astronaut, Merv broke into a secretive tone of voice right on the air, and aimed a hundred-thousand-dollar question at his guest: ‘There is a story going around, Gordon, that a spaceship did land in middle America and there were occupants, and members of our government were able to keep one of the occupants alive for a period of time. They’ve seen the metal of the aircraft and they know what the people look like – is that a credible story?’
For all intents and purposes Cooper should have laughed for assuredly such a speculative story belongs in the category of science fiction or space fantasy. But Gordon Cooper kept a straight face when he replied: ‘I think it’s fairly credible. I would like to see the time when all qualified people could really work together to properly investigate these stories and either refute or prove them.’
The bombshell had been dropped. Cooper went on to say that from the various reports of UFO contacts and abductions he had been privy to, he was convinced that the occupants of this crashed UFO were ‘probably not that different from what we are,’ – that they are almost totally humanoid (i.e., have two arms, two legs, a torso and readily identifiable facial features) in appearance.
Taken aback by what Cooper had said over the national airwaves, Lee Spiegel telephoned Cooper’s office the following morning and managed to get past his private secretary, though others in the media were getting the cold shoulder.
‘Cooper admitted to me that he could have revealed more on the air, but he decided not to play his entire hand because he felt certain that some ‘official eyebrows were going to get raised’.’”
There are numerous tales of people who have claimed to have been abducted by alien forces beyond out understanding. It is sometimes easy to write off some of them, but every so often there are those that seem to come from truly credible sources. As a seemingly reliable witness, Dr. Enrique Caretenuto Botta has impeccable credentials. A decorated ex-war pilot with a sterling educational history and research record in aeronautical engineering, he was highly sought after by many firms in his native land of Venezuela. In 1950, the then 40-year-old Botta was working at an architectural engineering firm based in Caracas, who had sent him on a business trip to Argentina to work on an ambitious construction project out in the countryside of Buenos Aires. To get to and from the project, he commuted through the sparse rural landscape outside of what at the time was the fairly small city of Bahía Blanca, and it was during one of these drives that he would have a bizarre experience that would change his life forever.
The drive was typically mundane, the area only sparsely inhabited and not much to see out past the windshield and the hypnotizing repetitive landscape making it easy to get lost in one’s thoughts. Yet on this evening his thoughts would be intruded upon by something very anomalous out on a field along the empty road ahead. It appeared to be some sort of metallic, disc-shaped object sitting right on the grass of the field, and it was such an unexpected enough site that Botta slowed down and then stopped his vehicle to get a closer look. His first thought was that it was somehow an aircraft that had come down to land out in that remote expanse, but as he drew closer he could see that it was no ordinary helicopter or plane. When curiosity compelled him to get out of the car and walk closer, he could see that the object was made of a very strange material that appeared metallic, but was somewhat spongey and “rubbery” to the touch. After circling the bizarre thing for a few minutes and gliding his hand along this weird surface, Botta claims that he then came to an opening. At this point he was more curious than scared, and decided to go inside.
Once within the mysterious craft, he allegedly saw just a plain metal corridor with a lone blinking red light at the top of the domed top above. As he continued, that flickering red light illuminated a room that had control panels adorned with various clinking lights, knobs, meters, buttons, and switches, the whole of it hovering over a transparent sphere, but this dancing light also outlined what appeared to be a curved divan with four seats. Botta warily approached until the blinking lights revealed to him the outlines of what appeared to be three small, almost child-sized figures only about four feet tall sitting there in the seats motionless. At this point Botta could not see them clearly because of the wavering lighting and the fact that he was behind them, so he crept closer to the figures, wondering who they could possibly be, and as he did he could see that whoever they were they were dressed in some sort of tight fitting grey coveralls. Botta called out to them, but got no response, so he gave into the overwhelming urge to reach out and touch the shoulder of one of them. When he did, he claims that he could feel that the body was rigid, and that their skin had a “charred texture.” It seemed that these individuals, whoever or whatever they were, were dead. This was enough to strike Botta with a jolt of fear that sent him scurrying back outside to get into his car and speed off.
When Botta got back to the hotel that he had been staying at, he excitedly told two of his associates about what had happened, and they decided to head back out there the next morning to check it out. When they arrived, the strange craft was gone, and in its place was a large pile of what appeared to be ash. When one of Botta’s companions touched this ash, his hand supposedly turned promptly purple much to the man’s alarm, and that’s when they saw a strange display in the sky above. According to Botta, there were three unidentified objects up there, two discs and a larger cigar-shaped object. These strange objects hovered above them for a few minutes, before suddenly seeming to merge into one, after which this single object emanated a red light and sped off at breathtaking speed to leave them standing there dumbfounded. Botta would claim that for several days after this bizarre incident his friend’s hand would remain purple where he had touched the pile of ash, and that he himself was plagued by a fever and unexplainable blisters and what was like a sunburn on his skin. Doctors were allegedly unable to find any rational cause for these physical symptoms. Dr. Botta would keep the bizarre incident to himself for years before telling it to a man named Horacio Gonzales G., who in turn passed it along to UFO researcher Leon Stringfield, and the report would feature in Stringfield’s book Situation Red.
It is frustrating that this is where the case stands. Only one witness, no matter how seemingly reliable, just doesn’t seem to cut it in this day and age. We are left to ask, just what happened to him out there? what were those creatures he saw, and were they really dead? Did their friends perhaps come to retrieve them, and perhaps that is what Botta and his friends saw? How did they end up dead to begin with? What was the pile of ash left behind? Did any of this happen in any sense at all? It is a rather eerie and spooky account, and as with many others like it there are no real answers.
June 21, 1947 was the date of one of the most mysterious and widely-debated incidents in UFO lore. A man named Harold Dahl, his young son, and several men were shocked and amazed by the sight of a veritable squadron of circular UFOs, with holes around the sides,flying over the waters of Maury Island, Puget Sound, Washington State. Five of the craft seemed to be moving in a smooth fashion at roughly 2,000-feet. That certainly couldn’t be said of one of them: it was clearly, and dangerously, out of control. That was made even more obvious when that particular craft suddenly plummeted to a height of around barely 700-feet. This was not a good sign. It was practically an omen. The rest of the mysterious aerial vehicles skillfully maneuvered out of the way, except for just one craft: it proceeded to “touch” the malfunctioning one, as things were described at the time. That didn’t seem to help. The craft then started to “spew forth” a huge amount of material – and showered down a mass of weird debris into the water. Some of it was an extremely thin, light metal. Other material, black in color, was boiling hot – something that was made clear when the wreckage hit the water and instantly caused a huge amount of steam to violently billow and bubble all around. Very unfortunately, the Dahl’s family dog was killed by some of the material as it slammed not just into the water, but onto the family’s boat, also.
A shocked Dahl quickly contacted his boss and friend, Fred Crisman; he was a man who had links to U.S. intelligence, and who wasted no time in gathering up as much of the material as possible. With Crisman and his son helping too, it wasn’t long before a sizeable amount of the material was on the boat and in their collective hands. Seeing the potential dollar-value in the story, Crisman contacted Ray Palmer. He was the publisher of Amazing Stories magazine. Crisman wondered if he, Palmer, might be interested in having an article written on what had happened – something that led a number of UFO researchers to wonder if Crisman had conjured up an elaborate hoax. Certain events that continued to grow quickly suggested it wasn’t a fabrication. First and foremost, the U.S. military was soon on the scene to scoop up the material. Specifically, the two involved were Captain William Lee Davidson and First Lieutenant Frank Mercer Brown. The pair was acting on the orders of General Nathan Twining, a key figure in the U.S. military’s early investigations into Flying Saucers. Those orders were never fulfilled. How can you fulfill orders when you’re dead?
The legendary Grassy Knoll, Dallas where JFK was shot and killed on November 22, 1963
(Nick Redfern)
Brown and Davidson flew into the area – from Hamilton Field, California – with not a problem in sight, at all. They collected as much of that weird debris as they could and took to the skies. On the way back, however, the absolute unthinkable happened. Their planned destination was Wright Field, Ohio (today, known as Wright-Patterson Air Force Base). A team was to be ready and waiting at the other end to take hold of that mass of curious material. The two hadn’t been in the skies for long, however, when malfunctions kicked in. Severe malfunctions. To the extent that the plane plummeted to the ground, killing them in a fiery nightmare. The wreckage mysteriously vanished. There is an afterword, I must stress. And what an afterword it is.
While Harold Dahl largely fell into obscurity afterwards, the same cannot be said for Fred Crisman. He became a prominent figure within the Kennedy assassination. Indeed, in 1968, when District Attorney Jim Garrison was at the height of his investigation of JFK’s death, Crisman was subpoenaed by Garrison himself. Garrison had it in his mind that Crisman wasn’t just a minor figure in the death of the president. For Garrison, Crisman was quite possibly one of the assassins at Dealey Plaza, Dallas on November 22, 1963. Garrison was sure Crisman was poised and ready to go on the fateful day, but in the guise of one of three “hoboes” – as they were described – seen lurking around the Grassy Knoll when JFK was shot. To be sure, the whole saga is one of high-strangeness. And that’s putting it mildly.
Fox News correspondent Ashley Strohmier joins 'The Story' to discuss the 'mysterious objects'
If 2019 was a big year for UFO coverage, 2020 may have been the best year ever.
No one can say for certain whether life exists outside of this planet, but the public's interest levels in the subject have likely never been higher.
FIRST QUARTER
In January, the U.S. Navy said the release of certain classified briefings and a classified video about a UFO incident held by the Department of Defense "would cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security" to the U.S., in response to a public records request from Vice.
A couple of weeks later, the U.K. announced that reported UFO sightings by the British public will be published online for the first time. The Royal Air Force ran a UFO unit for 50 years but shut it down in 2009 after coming to the conclusion that none of the reports offered evidence of a real threat.
In mid-February, after the U.K.'s decision to publish reported UFO sightings online, 61% of Americans surveyed said they want the U.S. government to declassify the country's so-called "X-files." Fifty-eight percent said they believe the U.S. government "actively investigates extraterrestrial life."
SECOND QUARTER
April was a blockbuster month as the Pentagon finally released unclassified footage showing "unidentified aerial phenomena" captured by Navy aircraft that had circulated in the public for years.
That same week, Tom DeLonge, the former Blink-182 singer and the head of To the Stars Academy of Arts & Sciences, the group that originally obtained the videos, said "UFOs are real" in a since-deleted tweet.
The videos, known as "FLIR1," "Gimbal" and "GoFast," were originally released to the New York Times and to TTSA.
The first video of the unidentified object was taken on Nov. 14, 2004, and shot by the F-18's gun camera. The second video was shot on Jan. 21, 2015, and shows another aerial vehicle with pilots commenting on how strange it is. The third video was also taken on Jan. 21, 2015, but it is unclear whether the third video was of the same object or a different one.
In June, the topic spurred national interest once again, after President Trump told his son, Donald Jr., that he had "interesting" details on Roswell, N.M.
"So many people ask me that question," the president said in response to whether aliens exist. "There are millions and millions of people that want to go there, that want to see it. I won't talk to you about what I know about it but it's very interesting. But Roswell is a very interesting place with a lot of people that would like to know what's going on."
When Trump Jr. further pressed his father on whether he would declassify details about Roswell, the president said, "I'll have to think about that one."
Later that month, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, acting chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, asked the Pentagon for a detailed, unclassified report on unidentified aerial phenomena. Rubio cited concerns the issue has been given scant attention from the intelligence community while acknowledging the existence of an "Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force."
THIRD QUARTER
Late July saw the explosive release of a report that mentioned a long-hidden UFO investigative unit within the Pentagon making its findings public, as well as "off-world vehicles not made on this Earth."
In August, the Pentagon officially launched the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, boosting an effort by the Office of Naval Intelligence, to investigate UFOs following several unexplained incidents that have been observed by the U.S. military.
This announcement came with its own controversies, Nick Pope, a former employee and UFO investigator for Britain's Ministry of Defense, told Fox News in August.
President Trump made news once again, this time telling Fox News in an October interview that he would take a "good, strong look" at whether there are UFOs.
In December, leaked reports from the Pentagon's UFO task force discussed "non-human technology," including an Oct. 2019 email exchange between high-ranking military officials.
Just about everyone has heard of the Roswell, New Mexico “crashed UFO” affair of early July 1947. However, what about the fabricated crashed UFO stories designed – in the early years of the Cold War – to try and make the Russians believe the West had its hands on extraterrestrial technology? Maybe, even highly advanced alien weaponry. There’s no doubt at all that many of the 1950s-1960s-era stories of crashed UFOs were nothing but creations of skillful figures in the Pentagon and the CIA. Today, I’ll share with you two such examples. One of the most controversial UFO events occurred (or didn’t) in Hart Canyon, Aztec, New Mexico in March 1948. In many respects, the case can be seen as Roswell’s “little brother.” An alien spacecraft was said to have crashed in the canyon, killing the diminutive creatures inside, who were whisked away by the military. See what I mean about the Roswell parallels? Writer Frank Scully was so enamored by the story he wrote his very own, full-length book on the subject in 1950 titled Behind the Flying Saucers. It became a smash-hit. Working along with Scully was a man named Silas Newton. He was a conman, millionaire, oil entrepreneur, and someone who had crossed paths with both the cops and the FBI on a few occasions, mainly because of his intricate plots to swindle just about anyone he could. Newton knew the UFO subject was taking off, so he thought of ways to earn money from it – which is why he got chummy with Scully.
By his own admittance, and a couple of years after the Aztec story surfaced in Frank Scully’s book, Newton was clandestinely visited by two representatives of “a highly secret U.S. Government entity,” as it was worded. Those same agents of the military told Newton, in no uncertain terms, they knew his Aztec story was nonsense. Amazingly, however, they wanted Newton to keep telling the tale to just about anyone and everyone who would listen. This caused CIA guy, Karl Pflock, to ponder on an amazing possibility: “Was this actually nothing to do with real saucers but instead some sort of psychological warfare operation [italics mine]?” There’s no doubt that Pflock was right on target: Newton was used to help spread the word that, yes, UFOs had fallen to Earth and the U.S. military had the technology. But, it was all a big, successful ruse. There were no crashed UFOs and no alien technology – but, the plot worked and had the Russians deeply concerned. Now, let’s take a look at another case – and another hoax.
For years, stories have surfaced to the effect that in 1952 – the same year Silas Newton got that strange visit from the U.S. military – a UFO slammed to the ground on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. Particularly interesting is a National Security Agency document that tells the story of the fatal crash and the recovery of a craft from another planet. The NSA’s copy of this previously-classified document is very slightly different to copies of the same document that have been declassified by the U.S. Air Force, the Department of State, and the U.S. Army. Someone in the NSA – unfortunately, we don’t know who – identified the Spitsbergen story in the document as being a “plant.” As for who secretly seeded the story, and why, well, that’s another matter entirely. Maybe, U.S. intelligent agents planted the story to try and further have the Russians believe that the U.S. government was back-engineering extraterrestrial spacecraft, when it really wasn’t. On the other hand, the “planters” may have been the Soviets themselves, trying to achieve something almost identical, but aimed squarely at the White House, the CIA, and the Pentagon. Jack Brewer, who runs TheUFO Trail blog, says of all this amazing chicanery concerning the Spitsbergen saucer saga of 1952: “It should be a forgone conclusion at this point that the UFO topic was exploited by the global intelligence community for a variety of purposes from one operation and era to the next. The consequences might indeed be significant and far-reaching.”

Looking at this “tic tac” Blake, it almost looks like it is being swallowed up into the ground. LD
Unidentified flying objects. Yet, the first thing that pops into our mind when we think of UFOs is the dehydrated face of an awfully malnutritioned gray alien, maybe green.
But what of UFOs? Are they really aliens? Or is there another explanation? For the sake of curiosity, we shall explore the latter..
5. Time Travellers
This is probably the second-best known theory, right after the “aliens” explanation. The idea that UFOs could be time travelers for the future has been proposed again, and again, and again.
That’s exactly why it is the first name on the list. As we progress, we’ll explore the wider and more controversial theories.
Dr. Bruce Goldberg, who is normally a dentist and hypnotherapist, claims himself to be a specialist in “future life progression”. His theory is that UFOs are actually time travellers from the distant future, chrononauts, and that grays are simply: the evolved humans.
4. The Imaginal Realm
Remember how we all have been obsessing about the Buddhist concept of “tulpas” or “imagined reality”, ever since the idea has surfaced the internet? Similar is the idea of the “imaginal realm”.
This alternate dimension is supposed to be the result of the collective imagination of all, often interlapping with this reality, leading to such phenomena as UFOs, fairies, ghosts, demons and so forth.
Also, certain people are gifted with the special ability of visualising this realm, aka, psychics, visionaries and prophets.
3. Demonic Entities
This is one of the many beliefs that Christians worrying about the “Final Days” often seem to have.
They tend to believe that UFOs and aliens are just a propaganda machine for Satan’s dark army, who are trying to control the human race camouflaging themselves as aliens from the outer space, therefore creating a world of chaos and anarchy.
While many will argue that this is paranoid, if UFOs exist, there is no reason why demons can’t.
2. Fourth Dimensional Objects
The only reason we are mentioning this theory is that we found a rather interesting quote on Listverse.com:
Imagine a flat plane on which two-dimensional creatures live. They cannot perceive our third dimension, but we can see them. Say you stick your finger into their plane.
From their point of view, an object has suddenly and inexplicably appeared out of nowhere. It also appears to change size and shape depending on exactly what cross-section of your finger is in their plane.
When you pull your finger out, the object disappears, and no one believes the two-dimensional creature who saw it because he was drunk and is always making up crazy stories.
Yep, that’s a possibility, and if it can happen to them, it can probably happen to us too. You know, when dealing with fourth-dimensional objects like UFOs. Problem is, there is no proof about an existing world of two-dimensional stick figures, or a fourth-dimensional one.
1. UFOs Are a Missing Link
If we maintain that UFOs are indeed ultra-modern spaceships used by an advanced race of creatures, it seems more likely that the creatures originate from Earth than a different planet. People who hold on to this belief often use Ockham’s Razor to justify their viewpoint.
While it seems highly unlikely that any creatures thriving on this surface are still unknown to humans, people often combine this with the Hollow Earth Theory and other “cryptid-related” theories, therefore the term “Cryptoterrestrial”.
Since 2020, the number of UFO sightings has increased in many locations in the United States. The recent statement on the upcoming UFO reports by the former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe surprised everyone. He said that some UFO sightings are hard to explain. Some officials are worried about the continuous spotting of UFOs over military bases. Is there any possibility that the military actions are being controlled by these UFOs? Not so long ago, former US Air Force Captain Robert Salas believed that UFOs are real and they do interfere in the military’s nuclear program.
A 30-year-long investigation by UFO researcher Robert L. Hastings has revealed shocking information about the connections between UFO and Nukes. He interviewed more than 50 officials of the US army, ranked from nuclear missile launch and targeting officers to missile maintenance personnel and the missile security police. According to him, the UFO activities over the US army bases have been noticed since 1948. His sources told him that mainly, the UFO incidents occurred at “Malmstrom, Minot, F.E. Warren, Ellsworth, Vandenberg, and Walker AFBs, between 1963 and 1996. Other sources were stationed at Wurtsmith and Loring AFBs, where B-52 nuclear bombers were based during the Cold War era.”
Former US Air Force Captain Robert Salas
One such incident mentioned by Captian Salas took place on the morning of March 16, 1967. He was at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana in an underground capsule when he was told by the security forces that a red glowing object had been seen at the front gate of the base.
One of the airmen was enjoying the clear morning sky when suddenly a star appeared from the sky, moving in a zig-zag manner. Then another light came and started doing the same thing. He called the Flight Security Controller (FSC), and they both watched the movement of those strange lights. They reported to Salas and he asked them to keep an eye on those lights.
Firstly, it did not concern Salas because he thought that maybe his colleagues were joking. After some time, he was called by the controller again, and he (FSC) was frightened and shouting. They were watching a UFO, hovering outside the front gate.
“I can’t really describe it. It’s glowing red. What are we supposed to do? Make sure the site is secure and I’ll phone the Command Post. Sir, I have to go now, one of the guys just got injured.”
After that, Salas lost communication with the airman and security guard. He immediately contacted his commander Lt. Fred Meiwald, who was sleeping at that time. While he was on the call with Lt. Meiwald, a security alarm rang, indicating a problem within the missile system. He checked the matter and found there was a ‘No-Go’ light, and two red security lights were lit. He was just trying to understand what went wrong, consecutively several alarms went off and they lost “entire flight of ten ICBMs to a ‘No-Go’ (inoperable) condition.”

He reported the incident to his command post and reived information from the security guard that the man who had seen the UFO was seriously injured. The security guard also told him that the UFO had a saucer shape and was constantly hovering near the front gate.
“They could have a lot more damage, permanent damage, to our weapons systems, and they didn’t,” Salas said. “If they wanted to destroy them, with all the powers they seem to have, I think they could have done that job, so I personally don’t think this was a hostile intent,” Salas said.
According to declassified documents of the incident, a team of engineers from the Boing company conducted an investigation but did not find anything that could confirm the reason behind the missile system failure. Robert Kaminski, who was leading the team, said: “There were no significant failures, engineering data or findings that would explain how ten missiles were knocked off alert,” and “…there was no technical explanation that could explain the event.”
Several other engineers tried their luck to find the cause of missile system failure but no strong evidence was found. In the end, they concluded that the system could have failed due to an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) sent from an unknown source.

There is no lack of strange sightings in New Jersey with 138 extraterrestrial reported in 2020, according to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC).
NEW JERSEY, NJ — There is no lack of strange sightings in New Jersey with 138 extraterrestrial reported in 2020, according to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC).
The majority of the sightings report odd lights moving through the air or a triangle/orb/oval-shaped object being spotted in the sky.
"2 triangular UFOs with 3 bright green lights appeared in the sky and flew towards each other," said one resident in Great Meadows.
Some even reported seeing the objects being chased by fighter pilots, such as in Cape May.
"Red dancing light. Then multiple flashing lights. Extremely silent. Three military helicopters on scene. Air tasted like perfume," according to the report.
All of these sitings made their way to a list compiled by the National UFO Reporting Center, an independent organization that's been around since 1974. The group, which has assisted police departments when people report their observations to 911, has put together a list of more than 90,000 sightings around the world.

The truth may be out there. But don't expect the feds to share what they know anytime soon on the recent spate of UFO sightings.
Some military and spy agencies are blocking or simply ignoring the effort to catalog what they have on "unidentified aerial phenomenon," according to multiple current and former government officials. And as a result, the Biden administration will likely delay a much-anticipated public report to Congress.
The Senate Intelligence Committee has asked the director of national intelligence to work with the Defense Department to provide a public accounting by June 25 on unexplained sightings of advanced aircraft and drones that have been reported by military personnel or captured by radar, satellites and other surveillance systems.
The request came after revelations in 2017 that the Pentagon was researching a series of unexplained intrusions into military airspace, including high-performance vehicles captured on video stalking Navy ships.
But those advising the investigations are advocating for significantly more time and resources to retrieve information from agencies that in some cases have shown reluctance, if not outright resistance, to sharing classified information. And they worry that without high-level involvement, it will be difficult to compel agencies to release what they have.
"Just getting access to the information, because of all the different security bureaucracies, that's an ordeal in itself," said Christopher Mellon, a former Pentagon intelligence official who lobbied for the disclosure provision and is continuing to advise policymakers on the issue.
For example, he asserts that a Pentagon task force established last August and led by the Navy has had few personnel or resources and only modest success acquiring reports, video or other evidence gathered by military systems.
The Pentagon task force is expected to be the primary military organization contributing to the wider government report.
"I know that the task force has been denied access to pertinent information by the Air Force and they have been stiff-armed by them," Mellon said in an interview. "That is disappointing but not unexpected."
The Air Force, which is historically most associated with UFOs from its investigations during the Cold War, deferred all questions on the subject to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, which has similarly said little publicly about the effort.
"To protect our people, maintain operational security and safeguard intelligence methods, we do not publicly discuss the details of the UAP observations, the task force or investigations," said Pentagon spokesperson Susan Gough, who declined to address the criticism.
The report due to Congress will include "a detailed analysis of unidentified phenomena data collected by" a host of means, including imaging satellites, eavesdropping equipment and human spies.
It also must include "a detailed analysis of data of the FBI, which was derived from investigations of intrusions of unidentified aerial phenomena data over restricted United States airspace." The report must contain "a detailed description of an interagency process for ensuring timely data collection and centralized analysis of all unidentified aerial phenomena reporting for the federal government, regardless of which service or agency acquired the information."
Gathering such information from across the national security bureaucracy is enormously challenging, Mellon said.
"They have to repeat that painful process with scores of different agencies," he said, citing the Army, CIA, National Reconnaissance Office, National Security Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
A spokesperson for Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines told POLITICO the report to Congress is in the works, but declined to offer further details. “We are aware of the requirement and will respond accordingly.”
Any delay in delivering it is likely to be perceived by a large segment of the public as an attempt by the government to hide what it knows.
But there is growing pressure from Congress for a more organized effort to compile what the government has learned and reveal how it is trying to solve the mysteries.
Sen. Marco Rubio, who was responsible for requesting the report, told Fox News this week that he does not believe military and intelligence agencies have come to any solid conclusions about the origin of the UFOs. But he insisted that the reports demand a more comprehensive intelligence-gathering effort.
"You have all the stigma and the taboo that is associated with it," said Elizondo, who serves as an informal adviser to the military. "Organizations whose mission this might fall squarely into are resisting adopting this mission. There's been so much public taboo about this for decades that no one wants to risk their professional careers and that of their bosses on a topic like this without being directed."
He also sees what he called "passive resistance," or "they're just not going to do anything to support it," such as applying resources or personnel to the activity.
Others see a lack of cooperation among different agencies and a desire to protect sensitive information that could benefit adversaries.
"One of the challenges that [the Defense Department] has had in the past is that a lot of these intelligence-gathering organizations, a lot of the military services' organizations that gather data on intrusions, are all extremely stovepiped and federated," said Ellen Lord, who served as undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment until January and was briefed on the Pentagon efforts.
She also said there may be valid reasons not to make it all public. "I think it is sometimes easy ... to go down a rabbit hole for the sci-fi, alien piece of this," she said in an interview. "In reality, there is a lot of technology that has been leveraged by our adversaries and we have ways to deal with that.
"But that is something that is not typically spoken about in public forums. Therein lies the challenge of some of these things," she added.
The secrecy surrounding the effort has been demonstrated by the Pentagon's refusal to even discuss any details of its UAP task force, not even how many personnel are assigned to it or what budget it has been given.
Elizondo believes there is little chance such obstacles can be overcome by June under the current level of effort and is advocating for an interim report that requests more time and resources. "We can do this right or we can do it right now," he said.
"It's certainly not sufficient time to provide a comprehensive, government-wide report that Congress not only expects, but that Congress deserves and frankly, so does the American people," he added.
Mellon thinks it could take months or longer. "In addition to the onerous job of trying get everyone to come clean," he said, "there will be a sensitive and probably difficult process of getting all the players ... to agree on the language and approve it. That process alone could take weeks or months."
Mellon also said the direct involvement of senior executive branch officials, including Haines and Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks, "is likely to prove necessary to compel the cooperation needed to do the job properly."
The good news," he added, "is the leadership on both sides appear to be taking this issue seriously and are acting in good faith."
The US Navy and the Pentagon were reluctant to admit the pilots from the USS Nimitz encountered Tic Tac candy-shaped UFOs off the coast of San Diego in 2004, but it’s assumed by many that there’s more in the files than was eventually released. That proved to be true this week when The Drive, a military news website with a knack for finding out secrets, revealed that at least one and possibly as many as five other warships encountered mysterious long-flying drones (UAVs or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) off the coast of Los Angeles in 2019 using more sophisticated equipment than was available in 2004. Yet it appears the UAVs were not able to be identified at the time or in subsequent investigations. What in the name of tiny mint pill-shaped candies is going on?
Did the navy ship #USSKidd #DDG100 encounter a UAP in July 2019 in So Cal OPAREA Trying to find out more. The ship logs indicate a “Snoopy Team” was deployed – an intel section that tries to visually ID objects. DM if you know more. Near San Clemente island #TicTac @UfoJoe11
U.S. warships like those in the report
This story begins with a 2020 tweet by Dave Beaty, a documentary filmmaker and “UFO Researcher Producer @ WWII Foundation who produced “The Nimitz Encounters – A Short Documentary Film.” Beaty appeared to be looking for info on an incident he heard about involving the destroyer USS Kidd (DDG-100) – an incident serious enough to deploy an onboard intelligence “SNOOPIE (Ship Nautical Or Otherwise Photographic Interpretation and Exploitation)” team. This alerted The Drive to get involved by making Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. In response, they received deck logs from the USS Kidd which pinpointed its location. That helped identify other ships in the immediate area, including U.S. Navy destroyers USS Rafael Peralta, USS Russell, USS John Finn, and the USS Paul Hamilton. From all of the logs, The Drive pieced together two nights of Tic Tac UAP sightings beginning on July 14, 2020.
The Drive has screen shots of the logs and detailed accounts of the various activities (see them here) which I will attempt to summarize. The USS Kidd reported two UAVs at around 10 pm and deployed the SNOOPIE team to document them. The ship then advised the USS Rafael Peralta, which activated its own SNOOPIE team and reported a “white light identified hovering over” the ship’s flight deck that matched its speed of 16 knots in conditions of low visibility and for around 90 minutes – indicating this was not a commercial drone. The logs of the USS John Finn also showed sightings.
Additional FOIA documents show that on July 15, the USS Russell spotted drones at 8:39 PM, and the USS Kidd saw them shortly thereafter, with both deploying SNOOPIE teams. The USS Rafael Peralta received a radio call from a passing cruise ship, the Carnival Imagination, notifying them that the drones are not theirs, and that they saw as many as five or six maneuvering nearby. The USS Rafael Peralta crew later saw four and then two more drones. The Drive notes that all of these sightings on July 15 were closer to shore than on the previous night and none of the ships appeared to have identified the drones.
Who or what is messing with U.S. warships?
Emails show a Navy and Coast Guard investigation began on July 17, with the FBI also being called in. Various possible sources or owners of the drones were identified, investigated and rejected. Just when the investigation seemed to stop, more sightings occurred – on July 25 and 30th by the USS Kidd. The Drive notes that it has not received other deck logs to determine if any other ships saw these UAVs.
The Drive asks the right questions, and we have a few more. Who is operating drones around U.S. warships? What kind of drones can travel 1000 miles from shore, reach speeds of over 45 mph and hover for 90 minutes? Are these military drones being clandestinely tested by the U.S.? If they’re foreign, why was there no combat? Are they related to the 2004 Tic Tac drones? Are they related to the “long cylindrical object” spotted over New Mexico by American Airlines pilots last month? If they’re aliens … well, good luck getting the Pentagon to reveal any more. One thing is certain – the Navy collected a lot of data that The Drive has only scratched the surface of.
Kudos to The Drive and Dave Beaty for their intrepid work and coverage of this breaking story.
Over the years, UFO witnesses and investigators have claimed that their phones – whether smartphones or landlines – have been secretly monitored by what some might call “Them.” To many people, this might sound like nothing but outright paranoia. The fact is though that “monitoring” of the UFO field has been going on for a very long time. And, today, I’ll share with you some intriguing cases. Let’s begin: While digging through a whole host of formerly classified files on UFOs at the National Archives at Kew, England in 1996, I came across a one-page report dated 28 March 1965 that, I confess, I almost overlooked. On closer inspection, however, I realized that it was potentially one of the most important UFO-related documents that I had ever come across. According to the MoD paperwork, on the night in question a witness saw at approximately 9.30 p.m. over moor-land near Richmond, North Yorkshire, England: “Nine or ten objects – in close triangular formation each about 100ft long – orange illumination below – each triangular in shape with rounded corners, making low humming noise.” They sounded very much like the “Flying Triangles” of today.
The witness, Jeffrey Brown, told me that “For about eighteen months after the sighting, I would get strange telephone calls from people. These would be every two or three months. They just phoned out of the blue but didn’t introduce themselves. They just said they were from some bureau or other. They didn’t mention the name of the bureau but kept mentioning ‘sightings’ and asked whether I had seen anything else strange. Had any men come to interview me?” Mr. Brown was never visited by anyone with regard to his Flying Triangle encounter, nor did the MoD ever offer an explanation as to what it was that he saw on that fateful night in March 1965. He was, however, unnerved by those mysterious telephone calls – primarily because aside from informing the MoD of what had occurred, he made no other report (either official or unofficial) with anyone and kept the details to himself. Brown’s report can still be read at the National Archives.
Claudia Cunningham was christened by long-time UFO researcher and author, Tim Beckley, as the “MIB Lady,” due to her diligent and dedicated research into the phenomenon, as well as being someone who had her very own run in with one of the MIB in 2009, as I detailed in my book The Real Men in Black. In the late 1970s, Claudia experienced something that many researchers and witnesses encounter: strange and unsettling telephone interference. She told me of what happened at the height of one of her UFO investigations, when she had just got a new phone. Claudia got a very intimidating call. In her own words: “A man with a guttural and threatening voice said very emphatically, ‘Claudia? I see you just got home. Do you know know what I’m going to do with you? I’m coming over now’ and hung up. I thought I would absolutely die on the spot. Just think, now: a brand new phone with a brand new number. No-one had it. If a neighbor saw me pull in they wouldn’t have my phone number to call me, so it was no neighbor. I heard a car pull in the driveway as I was planning to run out through the cellar through the cellar door to escape and it was my parents. Thank the Good Lord. I never found out who it was, nor do I want to know. I was involved in my studying UFOs, etc. and I was always very nervous and upset around that time to begin with.”
In 1996, UK UFO researcher Irene Bott and I investigated an alleged UFO crash in the woods of Cannock Chase, England. It was said to have come down back in 1964. After promoting the story in the local newspaper (The Chase Post) an elderly man, Harold South, came forward to share what he said he knew of the affair. In fact, he said he knew a lot. South claimed to have been at the site and said he was warned not to talk about what he’d seen. For years Harold had remained silent. Things changed, though, when me and Irene began investigating his claims. In December 1996, the two of us arranged to visit South in person. We did so on the 11th of the month. We called him – from my landline – in the morning and arranged to drive over to his home. When we got there, we could see South was very disturbed and worried. He claimed that in the time between me calling him and me and Irene arriving at his place, he had received a call from the Ministry of Defense – something that had put Harold into a state of distinct unease. South said that the MoD told him to call another number – as in right away. He did not. Rather, South put the phone down.
I have to say that, at first, me and Irene suspected this was a ruse: South’s way of getting out of being interviewed – after possibly having changed his mind about speaking to us. It turned out that was not the case, though. We asked South if we could use the U.K.’s “1471” system (that permitssomeone to find the number of the most recent incoming call). We dialed. Sure enough, and just as South said, there was a Ministry of Defense number. It turned out not to be from the main MoD building in London, but from the Ministry of Defense Guards Service at a local military base, Whittington Barracks. The person who we spoke to claimed no knowledge of the MoD’s call to South, even though we pointed out that we had specific evidence of the call. The conversation went no further – apart from round in circles. South, by now, was a man on edge: he quickly closed the conversation with us, clearly concerned that he was now in a situation that he had no desire to be in. South stopped the interview and refused to speak to us again. It was just another day in the weird world of UFOs.
Cases like those above absolutely abound. There’s little evidence to suggest it’s all down to fantasy and hoaxing. Indeed, the UFO research community has been watched, listened to, and followed for decades. And, no, it’s not a matter of paranoia. It’s a matter of reality.

What do they know? US federal officials gives 'mysterious' response to 'fleet of UFOs'
What do they know? US federal officials gives 'mysterious' response to 'fleet of UFOs'
A BIZARRE fleet of bright lights moving quickly across a sky has sparked a frenzy about a “fleet of UFOs” - leaving experts baffled and even prompting a response from the US government.
A mysterious video of a “fleet of UFOs” has sparked worldwide alarm, with some calling the strange moving lights an “armada”. The bizarre footage, captured in the skies of Casper, Wyoming in the US, has sparked alarm among local officials and questions for the US government. In the video, a continuous stream of white objects can be seen flying over the town of Casper.

User comments speculate drones, balloons, lanterns, and possible other-worldly activity

“I think it’s possible it was balloons or possibly drones.
"They weren't orbs they look like crafts, I thought drones maybe.
“But, if they were drones they had a really long range because they flew clear over the horizon out of sight but they were completely silent and they were pretty close.
"I figured if they were drones I would have heard the propellers but I have no idea what it was, it was a trip.”
More than a dozen appear to flash, and the objects seem to be moving in formation in one direction

Officials at the nearby airport denied any knowledge about the strange lights.
Glenn Januska, Director of Casper Natrona County International Airport said that he wouldn’t be able to identify the lights.
He deferred identification to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Allen Kenitzner, spokesperson for the FAA’s Northwest Mountain Region, said that he wasn’t able to offer a positive identification of the phenomenon immediately.
He mysteriously added that there wasn’t anything in the air that the FAA wasn’t able to identify that night.
This has prompted speculation that the US knows what the mysterious lights are.
One viewer of the video suggested it was "the first sign of an alien invasion".
Another wrote that it could be new military technology, adding "that definitely looks like an air assault formation".
The saga of the Flying Saucer began with the pilot Kenneth Arnold, whose 24 June 1947 encounter at the Cascade Mountains, Washington State, kicked off the modern era of UFO sightings. At approximately 3.00 p.m. on the afternoon in question, Arnold was searching for an aircraft that had reportedly crashed on the southwest side of Mt. Rainier. At the time of its occurrence, Arnold’s encounter attracted the keen interest of not just the public and the media, but also that of the all-powerful Federal Bureau of Investigation. The following is a verbatim statement made by Arnold himself and taken from previously Secret FBI records of 1947 that confirm the Bureau’s deep interest in his strange encounter: “I hadn’t flown more than two or three minutes on my course when a bright flash reflected on my airplane. It startled me as I thought I was too close to some other aircraft. I looked every place in the sky and couldn’t find where the reflection had come from until I looked to the left and the north of Mt. Rainier, where I observed a chain of nine peculiar looking aircraft flying from north to south at approximately 9,500 feet elevation and going, seemingly, in a definite direction of about 170 degrees.”
Arnold stressed that the objects were approaching Mt. Rainier very rapidly and he was puzzled by their physical appearance: “I thought it was very peculiar that I couldn’t find their tails but assumed they were some type of jet plane. The more I observed these objects, the more upset I became, as I am accustomed and familiar with most all objects flying whether I am close to the ground or at higher altitudes. The chain of these saucer-like objects [was] at least five miles long. I felt confident after I would land there would be some explanation of what I saw [sic].” No conclusive explanation for Arnold’s sighting ever surfaced, and the mystery regarding what he did or did not see has raged for more than half a century. Even the FBI – that was monitoring UFO activity in the summer of 1947 on a somewhat ad hoc basis – came away impressed by the report: “It is difficult to believe that a man of [Arnold’s] character and apparent integrity would state that he saw objects and write up a report to the extent that he did if he did not see them.”
Kenneth Arnold
As UFO sightings reached epidemic proportions across the USA in the summer of 1947, the military swung into action, and various studies and operations were formulated that ultimately unified into an official, investigative operation known as Project Sign. That project would, in 1948, make way for Project Grudge; and, finally, Project Blue Book, which continued until 1969. Collectively, the three projects concluded that no UFO sighting investigated officially had ever had a bearing on national security, and there was no evidence to indicate that any UFO sightings represented alien visitations. Of course, numerous claims, counter-claims, arguments and counter-arguments have been put forth by a variety of authors and commentators on whether or not some UFOs are indeed alien spacecraft, and whether or not elements of the US Government, military and intelligence community have systematically hidden evidence in support of that theory from the public and the media alike.
Two weeks after the encounter of Kenneth Arnold, Brigadier General George F. Schulgen, Chief of the Requirements Intelligence Branch of Army Air Corps Intelligence, met with Special Agent S.W. Reynolds of the FBI with a view to determining if the Army Air Force could solicit the assistance of the Bureau on a regular basis in its investigation of the UFO mystery. General Schulgen advised SA Reynolds that, “every effort must be undertaken in order to run down and ascertain whether or not the flying discs are a fact and, if so, to learn all about them.” An examination of the relevant files of the FBI demonstrates that, in the weeks following Arnold’s encounter of 24 June 1947, the foremost thought on General Schulgen’s mind was that the saucers were Russian in origin. He confided in Special Agent Reynolds that, “the first reported sightings might have been by individuals of Communist sympathies with the view to causing hysteria and fear of a secret weapon.” It was for this reason that the Army Air Force sought the FBI’s assistance.
General Schulgen guaranteed the FBI “all the facilities of [my] office as to results obtained,” and outlined a plan that would involve the FBI in both locating and questioning witnesses to UFO sightings to ascertain whether they were sincere in their statements that they had seen flying saucers, or whether their statements were prompted by “personal desire for publicity or political reasons.” Similarly, in 1953, the Robertson Panel – a select group of consultants brought together by the CIA to look at the national security implications of the UFO controversy – recommended that a number of the public UFO investigative groups that existed in the United States at the time, such as the Civilian Flying Saucer Investigators (CFSI) and the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO), should be “watched” carefully due to “…the apparent irresponsibility and the possible use of such groups for subversive purposes…”
Indeed, the fear and concern expressed by the military, the CIA, and the FBI in the formative years of official UFO studies that those implicated in the Flying Saucer mystery had “Communist sympathies” or were following a covert, political agenda – the intention of which was “causing hysteria” and subversion – led to intense surveillance of practically anyone and everyone that delved into the subject, and particularly those that criticized the Government’s handling of the situation.

The Best UFO Sightings, Videos & Alien Encounters Of 2021 - Part I
We start 2021 very much in the same way we began 2020 – with an apparent expectation of a huge release of information combined with an admission of prior knowledge about the existence of UFOs and alien life. Essentially, “disclosure”.
Of course, whether that disclosure arrives remains to be seen. However, sightings of strange lights and objects in our planet’s skies have continued over the first four weeks of the new year, suggesting that 2021 will indeed be a busy year for all things UFO-related.

February
February was witness to many varied UFO sightings all around the world. And like previous months and years, the variety of the sightings is matched only by the intrigue they generate. From sightings of strange orbs rising rapidly into the atmosphere, disc-like objects emerging from the clouds to fleets of UFOs hanging over busy cities, February has once again played host to various aerial anomalies in our collective skies.
As always, however, we begin our round-up with a look at some of sightings that occurred last month but have only recently been reported in the last few weeks, the first of which features the previously mentioned UFO fleet.
UFO “Fleet” Captured On Video, Lehigh, Florida, February 2020
Perhaps the eldest sighting only recently reported is MUFON case 113798, which while unfolding on February 2020, has only just entered the public domain. The sighting is particularly interesting in that it appears to show many different lights – described as a “fleet” by some UFO enthusiasts – that are clearly visible in the night sky.
The witness would claim that they had just finished work for the evening when they noticed “all these orbs just stationary in the sky”. What’s more, some of these objects would “disappear and reappear”. Realizing they were witnessing something out of the ordinary, the witness reached for their phone and shot around a minute of footage. They would state, however, that despite the extraordinary nature of the incident, they were “in a hurry to get home” and had to turn their mind to the journey.
Once more, if we take note of the location, is this another sighting that lends credibility to the notion of secret bases somewhere under the water off the American coast? It is certainly a thought-provoking sighting, which you can see below.
Bright Glowing Object Captured On Camera Over Wasilla, Alaska, 10th Jan
Although it wasn’t reported until the third week on February, a sighting that occurred in Wasilla, Alaska appears to show a bright object in the early evening skies. Captured somewhere between 7 pm and 9 pm, the witness would claim that they had seen many UFOs over the area.
This is interesting as Alaska is a relative object for such strange and intriguing sightings. Was this another one that suggests an apparent alien interest in this part of the world?
This particular sighting was of a glowing object – either spherical or disc-shaped – that, from the brightness of it, appears to be very large. As we will examine shortly, in the very same location a little over a month later, another similar sighting occurred.
You can see the picture the witness captured below.
Bright Ascending Object Captured Over Montana 30th Jan
A sighting from Montana on the evening of 30th January was captured on video and appears to show a bright object ascending over the city of Ferndale. The footage was captured at a little after 10 pm and does indeed appear to show large, artificial object heading high up into the atmosphere.
The witness was at a local bar when they captured the footage, near the Swan Mountain range. While some who have viewed the video state that the object could be something due to atmospheric conditions, others believe that it shows a genuine extraterrestrial craft. One thing that all appear to agree on, though, is that it is a very interesting piece of footage.
You can see that video footage below.
Strange Object Witnessed Over Edinburgh, Scotland, 30th Jan
At around 5 pm on the 30th January in Edinburgh in Scotland, a local woman noticed a strange “UFO-like object” hovering almost directly over her home. Thew witnessed managed to obtain several moments of video footage of the object, which according to the Edinburgh Live platform (who received the report) showed a “dark object (that) flies back and forth”.
The witness claimed that she had dismissed the notion that the “object” might have been merely birds due to how it “kept disappearing” and then reappearing. She did say, though, she was not sure what the object was, but that birds, in her opinion, what not have remained in such an aerial position for as long as the sighting went on for, around 10 to 15 minutes.
The witness was also certain that the object disappeared on several occasions, stressing that she meant “proper disappearing”, and that the activity appeared to be taking place close to or over Edinburgh Airport. We should note that many UFO sightings have occurred near airports, many of which have unfolded in recent years. Whatever the object was on this occasion, though, remains a mystery.
Strange Trails Over Denver, Colorado, 31st January
During the morning of 31st January (according to separate MUFON reports – number 113474 and 113475) at just before 11 am, several local residents of Denver, Colorado spotted strange objects that appeared to be falling to the ground leaving trails behind them.
One witness would claim they were simply drinking their usual morning coffee and looking out of his window as normal when they noticed the strange trails. He alerted his friend who was with him and both kept their focus on them for several moments. As they watched, the witness recalled how you could “see that there as a directional change in the upper atmosphere”. Furthermore, after reaching an approximate altitude of around 1,500 feet, the objects themselves appeared to change direction, heading toward nearby Buckley Air Force Base.
The witness would further state that all three of the apparent objects “maintained a perfect formation” and that they made no noise whatsoever. They eventually disappeared into the distance.
A second witness would claim that they too had seen “three large white objects” that moved at a “high rate of speed”. They would also state, like the first witness, that they “maintained their formation” and that they appeared very much like “cloud tear-drops”. They would claim the objects appeared to “fall” before they suddenly changed direction, heading east at a “high rate of speed”. The witness would eventually lose sight of them behind the trees and buildings in the distance.
As we might imagine, there were a whole host of explanations offered for the strange objects, including that they were extraterrestrial crafts.
However, one UFO researcher, Scott Brando, would suggest in the Express newspaper that there was a “terrestrial explanation” for the sighting, elaborating that they were “contrails from three military aircraft”. Furthermore, he would claim another researcher, Mick West of Metabunk, had already identified two of them as “C-17A Globemasters”. We should perhaps note that one of the witnesses claimed the objects intentionally changed direction and headed toward Buckley Air Force Base. Might this suggest that they were indeed military aircraft?
What do you think? Are these merely military aircraft? Or might there be an otherworldly explanation? You can see the footage below and make up your own minds.
Strange, Glowing Object Spotted Over Coventry, England, 1st Feb
Another sighting from the MUFON files (case number 113692) unfolded in the daylight skies of Coventry, England on the 1st February.
According to the witness, they spotted a “helixical shape” while they were pruning trees in their garden. They watched the strange shape for around a minute before reaching for their phone and beginning to film it. Shortly after the did so, “another faster moving shape enters the frame” and was “moving erratically”.
While this second object disappeared, the first continued along a “fairly straight trajectory”. The witness’s wife also saw the bizarre object along with her husband. Although they were uncertain of what the object was, they believed it was “too erratic to be a satellite” and also felt that the International Space Station (which was over the UK at the approximate time of the sighting) would not have been invisible during the day.
You can see video footage of that sighting below.
Orange, Glowing Craft Over Colina, Chile, 3rd Feb
On the evening of 3rd February over the city of Colina in Chile, a strange object was captured on video moving through the skies overhead. The object in question appears orb-like and has a gentle orange glow. The way it moves suggest that it is not a planet and it has no standard lights that suggest it is a terrestrial aircraft.
The footage itself is all we have to go on with this particular sighting as there is little other details in the public domain at this stage. Given that the sighting occurred over such a populated area it would be a little surprising if it wasn’t seen by other local residents.
You can check out that video footage below.
Object Appears Out Of Clouds Over Georgia, 9th Feb
At 10 am on the morning of 9th February over Moultrie in Georgia, a local resident spotted what appeared to be a disc-shaped object in the grey, morning sky. The witness, who was visiting a local Walmart store, noticed a strange shape in the clouds and immediately went to capture the anomaly on camera and snapped off three pictures “back-to-back”.
However, when the witness studied the pictures, they noticed what appeared to be an object shaped decisively like a disc. They attempted to take several more pictures in an attempt to capture the object once more. However, all they showed were the clouds suggesting that the object, whatever it was, had gone.
The witness would conclude that the object must have been “moving extremely fast” and appeared to have “come straight out of the clouds”.
Did the witness capture a UFO on film by taking a picture by pure chance at the exact moment it was leaving the cloud cover and heading off into the distance and presumably very high speed? If so, we can assume that the object made no noise whatsoever as they were not aware of its presence in real time. How many other objects might be zipping around our skies without anyone noticing them?
You can check out some of those pictures below.
Several Strange Lights Over Los Angeles, California, 10th Feb
During the evening of the 10th February over the skies of Los Angeles in California, a local resident – Bobby Cail, managed to capture footage of several strange lights seemingly hovering over the city.
The witness claimed he watched the brightly glowing lights for several moments before reaching for his phone in order to record them. However, within seconds of the recording beginning, the lights begin to fade away and disappear, almost as if they are aware of being captured on film. While this could merely be coincidence, and most likely is, it is still an intriguing detail that we shouldn’t ignore.
Whatever the objects were, they are just one of many UFO reports that come out of California. And as we shall see in a moment, around 48 hours later, a similar sighting would unfold in nearby Arizona. Before we move on to that, though, you can see that footage below.
Multiple Orb-Like UFOs Over Tempe, Arizona, 12th Feb
Only two nights later, and from another case from the MUFON files is case number 113700, a similar sighting unfolded when several strange orb-like lights appear in the early evening sky over Tempe, Arizona on 12th February.
The witness would claim that they were speaking with their wife and looking out of their kitchen window when he suddenly noticed “a group of strange lights” in the sky. He alerted his wife before reaching for his phone in order capture several moments of the bizarre scene. He would later that the strange objects moved for so long before becoming stationary, “pulsated and then vanished into the clear night sky”.
At one point during the sighting, an airplane traveled in the same direction of the objects, with them seeming “unaffected by this”. In fact, once the plane had disappeared out of sight, “more (objects” returned to the sky”. The witness would further describe the objects as being a “reddish orange color” although the color didn’t appear on the video footage.
You can see video footage of that sighting below.
UFOs Captured During Interview On RT News, 13th Feb
During a live television interview on RT (Russia Today) News, two distinctly disc-shaped objected seemingly appeared behind one of the interviewers. The objects appeared to move at a high rate of speed and appeared to move in a strict formation.
There is little further information as to what the objects might have been, as well as if there as an official reaction to the sighting. The brief seconds of footage, though, are extremely interesting.
We should note that this is not the first time where UFOs have been captured on screen during live television broadcasts. As we have examined before, these strange objects have shown up on news interviews, weather reports, and even live sports broadcasts. Once more, we might ask, given that we are not actively recorded all parts of the sky all the time, how active with UFOs they just might be.
You can see that news clipping below. The UFO enters the screen from the left.
Meteor Or UFO Over Melbourne, Australia, 14th Feb?
On the evening of 14th February in Melbourne, Australia, a local resident filmed what they believe to be a meteor falling from the sky. However, according to UFO researcher and author, Scott Waring, the footage might actually be that of a UFO descending in a controlled fashion.
Waring would state on his website that if the object was a meteor, it would likely be “moving twice as fast”. Furthermore, there appears to be “no tail” that is visible. Waring also notes, that after the flash that most would suspect to be an explosion, it is clear the object itself was “still intact” before “going dark”.
Was this a UFO that was entering the Earth’s atmosphere? And was the flash the start of some highly advanced propulsion technology? According to many who have viewed the footage, it is, in fact, a meteor, but the debate, it would seem, is still to be had.
You can see the original footage below and make up your own mind.
Strange Glowing Orb Witnessed Over Spain, 15th Feb
Although the footage is only 20 seconds long, a sighting of a strange orb filmed over Badajoz in Spain is very worthy of our time here. The object in question appears to move slow and purposely over the region before disappearing into the distance.
The aerial anomaly also appears to have a persistent glow and a definite solid, disc shape to it. Briefly, it even appears to be rotating around its own axis (something which many UFO reports state and that has been captured on other videos before).
You can see that footage below.
Strange Object Over Cape Town, South Africa, 16th Feb
On the 16th February, local residents of Cape Town in South Africa, witnessed a bizarre green glow in the sky overhead. One resident even managed to capture footage of the strange sighting from the balcony of an apartment at the The Sentinal Luxury Apartment Building, before uploading the video to YouTube under the header “Cape Town UFO Sighting”.
While there is debate as to what the strange green glow might have been, it isn’t the first time in recent weeks that residents of Cape Town have witnessed strange aerial anomalies in their skies. At the start of the month on the 5th February, multiple residents witnessed and reported a “string of lights” moving across the sky at great speed. They then disappeared into the distance. South Africa, like many countries around the world, also has a long history of UFO sightings and activity.
You can view the footage captured on 16th February below.
Lights With “No Sequence Or Rhythm” Gulf Breeze Sighting, 17th Feb
A particularly interesting UFO sighting unfolded at around 10 pm on the 17th February in the Gulf Breeze region of Florida.
The witness would claim they were outside their home using their phone when they “saw a bunch of lights that were blinking”. What’s more, the witness is relatively familiar with both commercial and military planes that fly over the house. These lights, however, the witness recalled as moving “randomly” and with “no sequence or rhythm”.
The sighting lasted for around 10 minutes in total, although the witness only managed to capture around 60 seconds worth of (undoubtedly valuable) footage.
As the witness also correctly points out, the entire Gulf Breeze area has regular UFO sightings, and has done for decades. Might it be that there are some truths in the conspiracies of secret bases, possibly extraterrestrial ones, residing of the coast of Florida, as well as other coastlines of the United States?
You can see the video captured by the witness below.
Another Glowing Orb Witnessed Over Wasilla, Alaska 17th Feb
We began our look at UFO sightings for the month of February by examining an incident that took place at the start of January but was only recently reported. On the 17th February in the same city of Wasilla in Alaska, a similar sighting of a glowing orb hovering high overhead.
The incident occurred at approximately the same time – somewhere between 7 pm and 9 pm – and was captured on camera by the witness. It would appear that the picture wasn’t showing the setting sun as this had occurred earlier. What’s more, due to the cloudy skies, it is likely not a planet either.
Is this more evidence that there is a persistent UFO presence over Alaska? You can see that picture below.
Two Strange Objects Overtaking A Plane Over Rioverde, Mexico, 19th Feb
On the evening of 19th February a local resident, Alejandro Garcia, captured around 30 seconds of footage of two UFOs over the city of Rioverde in Mexico. The footage shows the two objects moving past a plane suggesting they are traversing the skies at a considerable pace. Furthermore, the objects appear to be traveling purposely one over the other.
What isn’t clear is whether the footage shows two objects throughout or whether it shows one object becoming two.
As we have mentioned previously, Mexico is one of the places you might be most likely to see a UFO, with many sightings reported there each year. This incident only adds to its reputation as a UFO hot spot.
The footage in question can be seen below.
Silent Orbs Making Their Way Over Metairie Louisiana, 21st Feb
According to MUFON case 113579 – as highlighted by Scott Waring – a local witness managed to capture footage of several glowing orbs going over the Metairie region of Louisiana. And what’s more, we are not talking just a few – the witness would claim there was likely more than 30 of the strange glowing spherical objects.
Also of intrigue is the fact that some of these glowing orbs appear to change speed (which can be seen in the footage). Does this suggest an intelligence behind them?
The witness stated in their report that the light had “no sound” and were moving in an east to west direction. They glowed with a “reddish pink hue” and were not flashing at all but were consistent.
You can see that footage below.
The American Airlines Flight 2292 Incident, New Mexico 21st Feb
While flying over north east New Mexico, the pilots of American Airlines Flight 2292 witnessed an “unidentified cylindrical-shaped object” speeding through the sky at an altitude of around 36,000 feet. What’s more, the incident has not only been officially confirmed by American Airlines, but the FBI is also said to be investigating the sighting.
Upon seeing the bizarre object, the pilots asked ground control if there were “any targets” in the sky with them as they had “just had something go right over the top of us”.
Interestingly, the sighting occurred in almost the same location as a sighting that occurred in 2018 when two aircraft had such close encounters at almost the same altitude of 37,000 feet. What’s more, one of the pilots involved in that incident would speak to the media, with the descriptions he gave being very similar to those of the recent sighting.
While there is some debate whether such sightings in this region of the United States might be connected to the White Sands Missile Range, many others believe the incident to be yet another encounter with extraterrestrial intelligence.
You can listen to the incident in the video below.
Strange Object Appears Out Of The Clouds Over Cairns, Australia, 22nd Feb
Another MUFON case (113765), on the evening of 22nd February in Cairns, Australia, two local residents witnessed and filmed strange flying object that seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
The witness would state in his brief report of the sighting that they at first believed the object was a “hole in the clouds” until they realized that the clouds themselves were moving behind the object. Then, after several moments, the object “pulsated (and) then disappeared”.
Veteran UFO researcher, Scott C. Waring, would state that this action was “clearly noticing the two men watching it and recording it”. Whatever the object was, if indeed it was a solid object, remains unknown and there if little other details at this point regarding the sighting.
The Best UFO Sightings, Videos & Alien Encounters Of 2021 - Part II
The Best UFO Sightings, Videos & Alien Encounters Of 2021 - Part II
We start 2021 very much in the same way we began 2020 – with an apparent expectation of a huge release of information combined with an admission of prior knowledge about the existence of UFOs and alien life. Essentially, “disclosure”.
Of course, whether that disclosure arrives remains to be seen. However, sightings of strange lights and objects in our planet’s skies have continued over the first four weeks of the new year, suggesting that 2021 will indeed be a busy year for all things UFO-related.

µJanuary
We will update this article each month with the latest UFO sightings from the previous four weeks as we go through 2021. As usual, though, we start with several recently reported sightings that occurred back in December.
Two Strange Objects Photographed Over Florida, 2nd Dec
Although it wasn’t reported until the middle of January, a strange object was photographed in the skies over Seffner in Florida on the morning of 2nd December. The witness was driving at a little after 10 am she they noticed a strange formation in the cloudy skies above.
They brought their vehicle to a stop and reached for their phone in order to take a picture of the apparent anomaly. When the pictures were viewed a short time later, two strange objects appeared to be in the shot. The witness claimed that they hadn’t noticed them when actually taking the pictures.
It is highly like that the “objects” in question were actually simply lens flares. There is, though, perhaps some doubt, and the picture is certainly intriguing. You can view that picture below.
String Of Red Lights Over Idaho Falls, 5th Dec
Although there is little information at this time, another December sighting not reported until January unfolded over Idaho Falls in Idaho on the evening of 5th December.
At just before 6:45 pm a local resident noticed “two sets of three lights in a slight curved line”. It appeared that each set of three were in motion in their own right as they “blinked separately”. The lights were moving, however, in the same direction, occasionally flashing a white light as they moved.
You can see a picture of the lights that the witness managed to capture and make up your own mind.
Bright, Circular Object Hovers Over Dorchester, Massachusetts 26th Dec
Our last late-reported sighting of December that we will examine took place in Dorchester, Massachusetts on the 26th of December.
At a little after 6 pm, the local resident happened to notice a “white circular object hovering and flashing” while looking out of their window. They watched it move in several directions before seemingly heading toward them. It was at this point when they reached for their phone and began recording the unusual aerial activity.
When they zoomed in with their camera, they noticed how the object was “moving in uncharted flight paths, as if it was trying to get a better look at something”. Once more, then, although it is only a suggestion, there is the notion of some kind of reconnaissance to this UFO sighting.
Furthermore, the witness would claim that the object remained in the sky almost the entire evening. Even more intriguing, the witness claimed that the four objects returned into the same position in the sky and once more acted as though they were scanning the ground below.
The online website where this report was submitted noted that there were no bright planets visible in the area where the incident occurred.
You can view that video below.
Blue UFO Over Hawaii, 29th December
At the end of 2020 on the 29th December, a local resident of the Hawaiian island of Oahu spotted and reported a glowing, blue UFO overhead. The shape of the object appeared to oblong and was “larger than a telegraph pole”.
The sighting was captured on film and was appeared to travel across the sky before eventually entering the waters of the Pacific Ocean. This is, once again, an intriguing detail given the number of researchers who suggest that underwater alien bases exist in several places around the world.
There are, however, plenty of theories and suggestions as to what else the object might have been. Perhaps one of the most recurring was that it could be an “LED kite”. As we might imagine, the debate continues as to how otherworldly or terrestrial the blue object might actually be. It is, however, one of the most intriguing to recently come to light.
The sighting was officially reported to the Federal Aviation Administration. Their initial investigation has not revealed any “aircraft disappearing off radars” and have had “no reports of overdue or missing aircraft”.
You can see footage and a news report of that sighting below.
Demi Lovato Claims Another UFO Sighting, Mid-January
Before we move on to other sightings throughout January, we should perhaps turn our attention to another celebrity claiming an apparent extraterrestrial encounter. And while we might be suspicious that such celebrity claims are nothing more than an exercise in staying in the public eye, they still very much require documenting and examining.
The claim came to light in the middle of January when the singer stated on social media that she had managed to film a UFO “in broad daylight”. The circular object may or may not be a UFO – and certainly got a reaction from her followers, with some stating they were merely balloons.
Incidentally, Lovato has made several claims of seeing UFOs in the past. In October 2020 she released similar footage of an apparent UFO, even claiming she had been in the company of Dr. Steven Greer when the video was captured. From her social media posts and recent interviews, it would appear Lovato is very much a believer in at least the possibility of alien life visiting our planet.
Cube-Like Object Filmed Over Palm Beach, Florida, 3rd Jan
Early in the evening on the 3rd of January in Palm Beach, Florida at around 6 pm, a local resident was leaving a department store with their 10-year-old son when they noticed a “dark, cubed-shaped object” overhead. which was “moving slowly” through the cloudy sky.
The witness immediately reached for their phone, realizing they were witnessing something out of the ordinary, and began to film the aerial anomaly from the street below. They continued to view the object for some time. And while it appeared to be descending, they would eventually lose sight of it as it disappeared “behind the store” which blocked their view. The witness would estimate that it was around 500 feet away from where they stood. Although they would quickly get in their car and attempt to locate it once more, they could not find the object after that.
They would further recall how there was a “dim light” on one side of the object and that it appeared to be completely silent. What’s more, it appeared as though there was “some rotation motion” to the apparent craft.
You can view that footage below.
UFO Captured In Time Lapse Photos, Hatteras Island UFO, 7th Jan
At 10:20 pm on the evening of 7th January, at the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, a photographer, Wes Snyder, was shooting time-lapse photos for a project that was upcoming. However, during this photo mission, he managed to capture just under three minutes’ worth of footage of a strange object.
Snyder realized he had captured something quite extraordinary when he reviewed the footage. He could immediately see that the object was moving “faster than the clouds” and was much too big to be a plane. Snyder himself is unsure of exactly what the object might have been and asked for viewers’ thoughts when he posted it online. He did, however, dismiss that it might be a meteorite or a shooting star due to how long it remained in shot.
It is a possibility that the UFO disappeared into the ocean as opposed to into the distance (although there is no footage of this). We mention regularly that many UFO sightings occur near water, with one of the main theories as to why this might be being the presence of underwater alien bases off the coast of the United States.
It is certainly an intriguing piece of footage. You can view Snyder’s video below.
Ring Of Light Captured Over Fargo, North Dakota, 9th Jan
After finishing work at a little after 7 am, a local resident of Fargo, North Dakota, witnessed a strange, glowing ring of lights in the still dark sky as they drove home. Although there was a fog in the sky, the lights were clearly visible.
The witness, who sat waiting at the traffic lights, reached for his film and managed to capture several seconds of them. They would note that the lights appeared to be completely stationary and didn’t move at all during the incident. It appears, when the footage is viewed, that the lights are the underside of a solid object, most likely a circular, disc-shaped one.
One intriguing theory was put forward by veteran UFO researcher and writer, Scott C. Waring. He would state that it was possible the UFO had just landed and the “aliens disembarked to study” the area. If that was the case, then the witness might have been nearer to a much closer encounter than they previously thought.
The witness eventually drove away from the scene. You can see the video in question below.
Glowing Rectangular UFO Over Hollywood, Florida, 12th Jan
Just before midnight on the evening of 12th January in Hollywood, Florida, a rectangular UFO was captured for several minutes on video. The person who captured the footage first noticed the three rows of lights of yellow, red, and white, seemingly hovering overhead in a stationary position.
They managed to use their phone to capture the footage. The object remained visible for some time before disappearing behind buildings and then reappearing again. The lights eventually faded and the object disappeared from view. Whether it moved away into the distance or whether it simply turned off its lights is unclear.
You can view footage of the sighting in the video below.
Objects “Appear Out Of Nowhere” Alejandria, Mexico, 13th Jan
At just after 7 am on the morning of 13th January in Alejandria in Mexico, several UFOs were witnessed and filmed in the skies overhead.
The witnesses to the incident would claim that these strange objects “appeared out of nowhere” and at first were just three lights. However, as they came closer, they very much appeared to have a solidness to them. They would elaborate on how their “glow is fascinating”. The witnesses were in the highlands of the area when they filmed the strange crafts.
The sighting is interesting not only because it appears authentic, but Mexico is home to many UFO sightings month after month. Some researchers even suggest that the several mountains and volcanoes in the area are home to extraterrestrial bases which results in the increased sightings in this part of the world.
You can see that video below and make up your own mind.
UFO Captured Going In And Out Of Clouds Over Picos, Brazil, 15th Jan
On the morning of 15th January over Picos, Brazil, a strange object was filmed leaving the clouds before disappearing back into them. Local resident, Luan Silva had noticed the strange object emerging from cloud and disappearing back into them several times before finally reaching for his phone, managing to film this action.
There is little information or explanation as to what was taking place, but the footage is seemingly credible. If we assume this object was a solid, intelligently guided craft, what might the purpose be for such a display? For example, if this was some kind of reconnaissance mission why would it allow itself to be seen several times? Or might this have been an intentional action to make its presence known, and if so, why?
You can see that short video below.
Pilots Witness UFO Over Pakistan, 23rd Jan
Another sighting involving commercial pilots occurred on the 23rd of January over Pakistan when several pilots with Pakistan International Airlines witnessed something strange in the skies with them. And what’s more, one of the crew managed to capture footage of the obscure object.
The plane was making its way from Karachi to Lahore at around 4 pm when the pilot spotted something out of the ordinary approximately 1000 feet above their own altitude. The captain, Faisal Qureshi, immediately contacted the control tower and reported the strange object. Shortly after, he captured the video footage.
The crew would describe the strange object as being “extremely bright” and appeared to have a metal ring around it. In the video, the pilot is also clearly heard saying “it’s not a balloon, it’s not an aircraft”. We should note that many who have viewed the footage believe there is a distinct possibility that it could indeed be a balloon.
Perhaps an indication of the authenticity of the sighting is the fact the airline themselves issued an official statement regarding it. In it, they stated that it was “too early to say what the object was” and that they might not ever “be able to tell”. However, as it was reported as per protocol, they would investigate.
Just what the object might have been remains open to debate. You can watch a short video on the sighting below.
Strange Object With Rotating Lights Over Great Falls, Montana, 27th Jan
While the following sighting doesn’t have any photographs or video footage to back it up, it is perhaps one of the most detailed incidents of the opening month of 2021. The incident in question took place in Great Falls, Montana at a little after 6 am.
The witness stated how they were laid in bed looking out of the bedroom window having been awake for several hours already. As they did so, they noticed what they at first thought was a plane in the distance. However, when they noticed it was heading toward them, they began to watch the object more closely. It was quickly growing larger in size suggesting it was approaching the house with some speed.
Now beginning to fear the object was about to crash into their home, the witness jumped out of bed, continuing to watch the aerial anomaly as they did. Suddenly, though, the object stopped and hovered. The witness would estimate it was no more than 50 feet from the window he was watching it from.
The witness doesn’t state what actual shape the strange vehicle was, they did state that they briefly contemplated that it was a helicopter which perhaps suggests an oval or cigar shape. They did, though, reveal that in the underside were red and white light that appeared to be rotating randomly. They also recalled that it was completely silent. As he struggled to open the blinds so that he could see the craft more clearly, it suddenly disappeared, again without making a sound.
The witness would make it clear that they were not dreaming nor in a state of sleep paralysis, and that what they had seen was definitely real.
Glowing Spherical Object Moving Slowly Over Touchet, Washington, 27th Jan
A recent MUFON report (MUFON 113398), a local resident managed to capture around 30 seconds of footage of a glowing spherical object moving across the sky. The witness was in their back garden when they first noticed the strange object. They would note how slow and controlled the movement across the sky was, and how it appeared to pulsate somewhat as it moved.
As UFO researcher, Scott Waring asks, might this slow movement over the area be due to a surveillance mission? Or might it even be to monitor how humans react to seeing such alien craft? The debate, on the previous questions and this particular sighting continues.
You can see the video in question below.
Glowing Object Photographed Over St. Peters, Missouri, 28th Jan
According to another recent MUFON case (MUFON 113445) on the 28th of January in St. Peters, Missouri, a passenger in a car noticed a “very bright stationary light in the sky”. They would estimate that the object was around a mile or so away from the moving vehicle and was in view for around 30 seconds. However, during that time, the witness managed to capture several photographs.
What is interesting is that the photographs do appear to show a solid object that is reflecting the sun from a seemingly shiny exterior. And what’s more, very similar photographs have been captured going back many years. Of course, whether the incident was a case of an intelligently guided craft or not remains open to debate. It is perhaps interesting that the object – if we assume for a moment that it is indeed a solid craft – was witnessed over powerlines. Some UFO researchers claim this could be a way of them extracting power from them, or even using them to spy on our own communications.
Incidentally, this sighting is very similar to the sighting over Washington State the day before that we examine above. Might it be the same object?
Blue UFO Over Charlotte, North Carolina, 29th July
On the evening of 29th January over the city of Charlotte in North Carolina, local resident Alisa Homewood witnessed several strange lights overhead. She would recall how she was leaving a grocery store with several members of her family when she “happened to notice the lights”.
She continued to watch them as they approached. When she realized that they were making no sound whatsoever, she decided to take out her phone and photograph them. She would later post the pictures on Facebook stating that although they “flickered like lanterns” they were seemingly unaffected by the wind and instead “followed the same exact path”.
She would conclude that although it was unlikely that “they were aliens” there was nothing to suggest they were “definitely lanterns”.
Interestingly, only hours earlier on the morning of the sighting, Alisa witnessed “approximately six military helicopters fly over the area”. Whether there is a connection between the military helicopters and the later sighting of the apparent blue UFO is perhaps open to debate.
You can see one of those photographs below.
Bright Object Rising Into The Air, San Diego, 28th Jan
At a little after 7 pm on the 28th January in San Diego, California a strange ascending object was captured on a security video. It wasn’t until the following day that the owner of the property realized he had captured something a little out of the ordinary.
This is another sighting that doesn’t at this stage have a lot of information, and there is still speculation as to whether the light belongs to a terrestrial aircraft. However, it is certainly worth including here for your examination.
You can view that footage below.

Most UFO hunters report seeing brightly coloured sphere shaped orbs floating around the darkness off space, but a recent sighting may change the way we perceive alien crafts.
A 'cylinder', semi-transparent shaped UFO was spotted in the live web feed from Nasa earlier this month, traveling alongside of the International Space Station (ISS).
The clip shows the anomaly trailing 'at the same speed of the massive US spacecraft and a Martian researcher says it is similar to 'the cylinder UFO and orbs seen on worldwide CNN back in 2006'.

Scott C. Waring, founder of UFO Sighting Daily, was spending a quite night at home watching the live internet cam of the ISS when he saw something strange floating beside it.
'As I was watching, I noticed a long cylinder object floating alongside and below the space station,' Waring shared in his blog today.
The video post is just 1 minute and 22 seconds long and shows the outside of the station, but if you just a little to the right there seems to be an object traveling the same speed.
And just as Waring describes it, 'cylinder' and 'semi-transparent'.

'Its speed was matched with the ISS, but the object floating was semi-transparent,' he continues.
'Just when you thought it was about to come into focus, the screen went blue'.
'That's what happens when Nasa catches a UFO on cam, they cut the feed for a few minutes.
Waring finished the post recalling a sighting with a similar cylinder shape Martian vehicle that was captured by CNN.

The video features a female employees from mission reaching out to Houston about the external tank that fell from the Atlantis.
'27 - 32 seconds into the video of the external tank, you will see a triangular object fly across the bottom right hand corner of the screen,' Youtube John Schaser, who first published the clip, wrote in the caption.

'ALIENS STOPPED NUCLEAR WAR ON EARTH' SAYS FORMER ASTRONAUT
Aliens came to Earth to stop a nuclear war between America and Russia, according the bizarre claim of a former astronaut.
Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon, says high-ranking military officials witnessed alien ships during weapons tests throughout the 1940s.
The UFOs, he says, were spotted hovering over the world's first nuclear weapons test which took place on July 16, 1945 in the desolate White Sands deserts of New Mexico.
The Nasa veteran has regularly spoken about his belief in aliens ever since he landed on the surface of the moon during the Apollo 14 mission in 1971.
'White Sands was a testing ground for atomic weapons - and that's what the extra-terrestrials were interested in,' the 84-year-old Texan told Mirror Online.
'They wanted to know about our military capabilities.
'My own experience talking to people has made it clear the ETs had been attempting to keep us from going to war and help create peace on Earth.'
Dr Mitchell says stories from people who manned missile bases during the 20th Century back up his claims.
'Other officers from bases on the Pacific coast told me their [test] missiles were frequently shot down by alien spacecraft,' he said.
He previously said supposedly real-life ET's were similar to the traditional image of a small frame, large eyes and head.
He claimed our technology is 'not nearly as sophisticated' as theirs and 'had they been hostile', he warned 'we would be been gone by now'.
But Waring insists the object was a 'cylinder' shaped UFO.
Earlier this year more bizarre footage was released from Russia showing another object trailing the ISS.
The clip was reported to show a spacecraft or piece of debris following the station as it orbited Earth in January.

The footage - claimed to have been shot on the ISS's own cameras - was said to have been taken while the satellite was waiting for a supplies delivery.
This footage sent conspiracy theorist into a frenzy, as many believed it to be a UFO – but others were skeptical about the authenticity of the film and the explanations of the object.
US has 'secret evidence of UFOs breaking sound barrier without a sonic boom and performing moves humans don't have the technology for', says Trump's Director of National Intelligence
US has 'secret evidence of UFOs breaking sound barrier without a sonic boom and performing moves humans don't have the technology for', says Trump's Director of National Intelligence
In December a 180-day deadline was announced for a report into UFO sightings
The Pentagon and intelligence agencies must release their report by June 1
John Ratcliffe, former DNI, said there were more sightings than publicly known
Ratcliffe said the observations were made by Navy and Air Force pilots
They were recorded by 'multiple sensors' and had no obvious explanation
The incidents included supersonic travel without a sonic boom
Ratcliffe said it was in the public interest that the information be released
The U.S. has evidence of UFOs breaking the sound barrier without a sonic boom and making maneuvers impossible with known technology, the former Director of National Intelligence has revealed.
The revelations increased excitement about a forthcoming report detailing what the U.S. government has observed.
John Ratcliffe, who served as Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence, said that many of the incidents still have no easy explanation.
'There are a lot more sightings than have been made public,' Ratcliffe told Fox News.
'Some of those have been declassified.
'And when we talk about sightings, we are talking about objects that have seen by Navy or Air Force pilots, or have been picked up by satellite imagery that frankly engage in actions that are difficult to explain.
'Movements that are hard to replicate that we don't have the technology for. Or traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom.'
John Ratcliffe appeared on Fox News on Friday to discuss the forthcoming report
Ratcliiffe said that there had been more UFO sightings than the public previously knew
Navy pilots recorded seeing unexplained objects spinning in mid air, in the summer of 2014
Ratcliffe told host Maria Bartiromo that the sightings of 'unidentified aerial phenomena' had been observed all around the world.
'When we talk about sightings, the other thing I will tell you is, it's not just a pilot or just a satellite, or some intelligence collection,' Ratcliffe said.
'Usually we have multiple sensors that are picking up these things, and some of these are unexplained phenomenon, and there is actually quite a few more than have been made public.'
The government was, in December, given a 180-day deadline to disclose what it knew, meaning that the report should be out before June 1.
Ratcliffe said he had hoped to publish their findings before he left office on January 20.
'We weren't able to get it down into an unclassified format quickly enough,' he said.
The report was part of a $2.3 trillion COVID relief bill, which Trump signed into law in December.
The bill contained the Senate Intelligence Committee's Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 that had in it a 'committee comment' section that addressed 'unidentified aerial phenomena.'
The report, produced by the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies, must identify, among other things, any threats posed by unidentified aerial phenomena and whether they may be attributed to foreign adversaries.
'Weather can cause disturbances, visual disturbances,' Ratcliffe said.
'Sometimes we wonder whether or not our adversaries have technologies that are a little bit further down the road than we thought or than we realized.
'But there are instances where we don't have good explanations for some of the things that we have seen.'
Avril Haines is now the Director of National Intelligence in the Biden administration.
The Defense Department announced in September the creation of an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force on August 4.
Videos from the Navy were released last year through the Freedom of Information Act that showed UFOs moving at incredible speeds and performing seemingly impossible aerial maneuvers.
One of the videos was shot in November 2004; the other two were shot in January 2015. The three videos were code-named 'FLIR1,' 'Gimbal,' and 'GoFast.'
In the 2015 videos, Navy pilots can be heard expressing disbelief. All three UFO videos were captured by Navy F/A-18 Super Hornets.
The videos were made public and published because of efforts by the New York Times, as well as through efforts by To The Stars Academy, which was founded by Tom Delonge, the founder and lead vocalist for the bands Blink-182 and Angels & Airwaves.
Ratcliffe said it would be 'healthy' for as much of this information as possible to be made public.
A week before Ratcliffe stepped down, in January, the CIA released a treasure trove of newly-unsealed records.
They showed chilling accounts of hundreds of UFO sightings across the globe dating back to the 1950s - along with the international intelligence community's efforts to understand them.
A dossier with nearly 3,000 pages of documents about Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) - the government's official term for what are commonly called UFOs - was published on The Black Vault website.
Thousands of paranormal enthusiasts pored through the collection of more than 700 individual documents, according to Black Vault's founder John Greenewald Jr, who has spent the past two decades suing the CIA to release the records and then scanning the pages into his database one by one.
The CIA purports that the files account for its 'entire' collection of declassified UAP intel, but Greenewald cautions that there's no way to verify that claim and has vowed to continue searching for further records.
The documents also show correspondence about UFO sightings between CIA officers and members of the military.
Sometimes the officials brush off observers' stories as purely superstitious, even when another explanation isn't clear. But in other instances the officers show genuine concern that perhaps something dangerous is at play.

In December it emerged that two Pentagon reports had been produced, providing detailed classified information about strange sightings.
The DoD's Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force issued the two classified intelligence 'position reports' in 2018 and summer 2020, and they circulated widely in the U.S. intelligence community, according to a detailed account from The Debrief based on interviews with multiple intelligence sources.
The position reports' startling contents included a leaked photo that has never before been made public, accounts of 'Unidentified Aerial Phenomena' (UAP) emerging from the ocean and soaring through the sky, and an admission that extraterrestrial origins for the objects cannot be ruled out.
This leaked photo, published by The Debrief in December, was included in the 2018 position report, two DoD and one intelligence source told the outlet
The photo was previously described as depicting an 'unidentified silver 'cube-shaped' object' hovering over the ocean at an altitude of roughly 30,000 to 35,000
The leaked photo was was captured in 2018 off the East Coast of the United States by a military pilot using his cell phone camera, the sources said.
The photo was previously described as depicting an 'unidentified silver 'cube-shaped' object' hovering over the ocean at an altitude of roughly 30,000 to 35,000.
It appears that the image was captured by the backseat weapons systems operator of what appears to be an F/A-18 fighter jet.
Experts were baffled by the photo, but noted that the object somewhat resembles a GPS dropsonde, an atmospheric profiling device designed to be dropped from aircraft, typically over a hurricane.
'These revelations are extraordinary, and give the public a genuine peek behind the curtain when it comes to how the US government is handling the UFO issue,' Nick Pope, who investigated UFOs for the UK Ministry of Defence, told DailyMail.com.
'What this new information does is confirm that the US government is taking the UFO phenomenon more seriously than ever before,' he added. 'I anticipate further revelations shortly.'
The Pentagon has not confirmed the existence of the two position reports, as well as the authenticity of a leaked cockpit photo included in one of the reports.
Even more shocking were the revelations contained in a second, revised report issued by the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force in early 2020.
The report delved deeply into the possibility that UAP are able to freely move both through the air and underwater, zipping through the ocean undetected and emerging into the air at incredible speeds.
The report contained an 'extremely clear' photograph of an unidentifiable triangular aircraft that emerged from the ocean in front of a F/A-18 Hornet fighter pilot, sources told The Debrief.

That photo has not been leaked publicly, but artist and researcher Dave Beaty's recreation shows it as described by sources: a large equilateral triangle with rounded or 'blunted' edges and large, perfectly spherical white 'lights' in each corner.
The encounter occurred off the East Coast in 2019, according to officials who had seen the latest report.
Two officials said said the photo was taken after the triangular craft emerged from the ocean and shot straight upwards.
Officials say the latest report focused specifically on the possibility of 'transmedium' craft that are able to operate both underwater and in the air.
'Tic Tac' UFO: US Navy pilot made visual contact with the object on November 14, 2004
At least six Super Hornet pilots made visual or instrument contact with the UFO on November 14, 2004.
The encounters, which are documented in numerous interviews with first-hand witnesses, remain a mystery, and the object's incredible speed and movements have led to speculation that it was extraterrestrial in origin.
The original FLIR video from the USS Nimitz encounters leaked online as early as 2007.
Witnesses say that clips of the video had been circulated widely on the Navy's intranet - used to communicate between ships in the carrier group - and an unknown sailor in the group likely first leaked it.
The clip became one of the most-touted pieces of evidence in the UFO community when the Pentagon confirmed its authenticity in 2017.
In January, Chad Underwood, the former Navy aviator who shot the famous leaked video clip, broke his silence in an interview with New York Magazine.

He said the oblong, wingless 'Tic Tac' shaped object was spotted off the coast of Mexico over the Pacific.
He also revealed that for about two weeks, the Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser USS Princeton, part of Carrier Strike Group 11, had been tracking mysterious aircraft intermittently on an advanced AN/SPY-1B passive radar.
The radar contacts were so inexplicable that the system was even shut down and restarted to to check for bugs - but operators continued to track the unknown aircraft.
Then on November 14, Commander David Fravor says he was flying in an F/A-18F Super Hornet when he made visual contact with the object, which seemed to dive below the water, resurface, and speed out of sight when he tried to approach it.
As Fravor landed on the deck of the Nimitz, Underwood was just gearing up to take off on his own training run.
Fravor told Underwood about the bizarre encounter, and urged Underwood to keep his eyes open.
He recalls how he suddenly saw a blip on his radar before tracking it on his FLIR camera.

'The thing that stood out to me the most was how erratic it was behaving,' Underwood told the magazine.
'And what I mean by 'erratic' is that its changes in altitude, air speed, and aspect were just unlike things that I've ever encountered before flying against other air targets.'
Underwood said the object wasn't obeying the laws of physics and dropped from 50,000 feet altitude to 100 feet in seconds, which he says, 'isn't possible'. He added that he saw no signs of an engine heat plume or any sign of propulsion.
The pilot refuses to speculate as to whether the object is an alien spacecraft or not, however.
'That's not my job. But I saw something. And it was also seen, via eyeballs, by both my commanding officer, Dave Fravor, and the Marine Corps Hornet squadron commanding officer who was out there as well.'
