Now, I’m not from Marayong, I was visiting a friend. I just got off the train about 8PM. Prior to this sighting, little white dots in the sky that look like stars move so smoothly, they are far too high up to be a plane and they weren’t flashing, just traveling. They had no characteristics of a shooting star what’s so ever, I’ve experienced this twice, one time on the South Coast in Sanctuary Point and the other In Ashfield, Sydney when I was staying in a woman’s shelter due to the cost of living in Australia at the moment. I tried to film this, but the dot was so small, every time I tried to zoom in, I kept losing track of the traveling light, so I gave up. My experience on the south coast with the traveling lights was more intense anyway, I had to ask my mother whether she could see them too, she actually pointed one out to me, so it confirmed that we were both seeing these things. Anyway, let’s get to the part I’m really here for. I’ve been sleepless wanting some answers. I’m going nuts over here! I mean it’s too high to be a drone!
I just got off the train at Marayong just after 8pm and I suddenly thought maybe I’ll see some moving stars again, so I looked up and there’s this I don’t know, thing? Blinking, 2 circle white lights just blinking. I have this all on film by the way and this thing is hovering, I can tell because I keep looking back at the streetlight and the vehicle and its clearly hovering, not making any kind of sound before and I swear I saw another one pop up for a second and vanished, I’m not too sure like I’m still in shock that I’m seeing this in my life time or even my own country for that matter, it’s so surreal! I mean I’ve always been interested in Aliens, space and other strange stuff ever since I was little. Anyway, I just crawled out from the bush to get a better view. The UFO started to blink a red light and started to show plane characteristics and slowly moved away without sound. Planes don’t just move like that, what kind of plane hovers? I’m telling you this thing isn’t a drone either. Unfortunately, and probably fortunately this is all I’ve experienced. Are they now disguising themselves as planes? I zoomed into my video & took screenshots. I saw a bright disc in the screenshot as what it appears to be.
A radio transmission from an American Airlines from Cincinnati to Phoenix last weekend might have been ripped straight from the X-Files.
“Do you have any targets up here? We just had something go right over the top of us,” said the pilot at 1:19 p.m. CST on Sunday. “I hate to say this, but it looked like a long cylindrical object that almost looked like a cruise missile type of thing moving really fast right over the top of us,” according to audio published on aviation blog Deep Black Horizon.
The blogger, Steve Douglass, intercepted the transmission accidentally as he was trying to pick up another aircraft with a radio scanner. “It was a pure coincidence,” he told The Arizona Republic.
Douglass used two flight tracking websites, Flightradar24 and Flight Aware, to determine that the exact position of the plane was “over the northeast corner of New Mexico west of Clayton, New Mexico” at an altitude of 37,000 feet.
Following a debrief with the flight crew, American Airlines confirmed that the radio transmission came from flight 2292.
Yesterday, the FAA released a short statement: “A pilot reported seeing an object over New Mexico shortly after noon local time on Sunday, Feb. 21, 2021. FAA air traffic controllers did not see any object in the area on their radarscopes.”
While authorities may never be able to explain what the missile-like object was, it’s not the first time a pilot has spotted unexplained flying phenomena. In fact, it happens fairly regularly.
A remarkably similar incident occurred over the Sonoran Desert three years ago. On February 24, 2018, within minutes of each other, two pilots flying different aircraft — a Phoenix Air Group Learjet and an American Airlines commercial flight — both reported passing a mysterious object, according to audio recordings released by the Federal Aviation Administration to the Phoenix New Timesseveral weeks later.
“Was anybody above us that passed us like 30 seconds ago?” the Learjet pilot asked an air traffic controller. “Negative,” replied the tower.
In November 9, 2018, a British Airways pilot flying over Ireland reported seeing “a very bright light that disappeared at very high speed,” reported The Guardian. A Virgin Airlines pilot confirmed seeing it, too: “Multiple objects following the same sort of trajectory – very bright from where we were.”
Experts say there is usually a very logical explanation for UFO sightings, and the U.S. government has had a famously long history of being tight-lipped on the subject. In recent years, however, there’s been some notable movement on that front.
In 2017, the Pentagon acknowledged the existence of a $22-million Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program that had investigated reports of “unexplained aerial phenomena” from 2007 until it was shut down in 2012. NOTE: The above image is real but from another case file.
If you are interested in the unidentified flying object phenomenon, you are probably familiar with the so-called “Foo Fighters” that existed during the Second World War. Foo Fighter is the term given to a circular, spherical, wedged or disc-like shape object that appears glowing and shiny. It also has a high degree of illumination and were seen by World War II flight crews or pilots. Throughout the years, no Foo Fighters were reported or known to have attempted or made any interaction, attack or contact. However, they were known for their high rate of agility and speed. Being faster than any identified aircraft as well as being extremely maneuverable, it has an extremely unconventional abilities like instantaneous deceleration and acceleration, rapid descent, and climbing and hovering in place.
Usually, they are paralleled aircraft and were seen mostly by aviators. Foo Fighters were perplexing balls of light. Theories range from alien probes to natural phenomena of a poorly understood nature, and from secret weapons of Nazi to secret devices of the Allies. While the stories are famous within the field of Ufology, less popular fall on the other flying machines during the Second World War. In such a case, it’s not about small light balls causing chaos and concern for pilots, but it is all about the massive alien spacecraft. Long before the U.S., England entered the war in what is known as Foo Fighters reported by the British on September 1941. Through regular sightings, except for a month in 1943, all sides continuing throughout the war. On the U.S. side, even though sightings occurred at regular intervals before P-61 Black Widows deployment in Europe, it was the fighter pilots who regularly report seeing Foo Fighters. They usually describe it as an unknown object. The pilots of Black Widows finally coined the word Foo-Fighters – thanks to them!
In effort to further explore the report of ‘unidentified lights’ and screaming sounds alleged in Morehead, Kentucky, an internet search was conducted to retrieve the address and phone numbers of residents of Adams Lane (law officer earlier contacted had advised of the search taking place near this location).
After a “reverse lookup” was conducted at the internet resource http://www.theultimates.com one residency was identified on Adams Lane in Morehead, Kentucky.
That number was called around 6:30 p.m. this evening (Sunday, November 30, 2003) and I inquired if anyone could help me with information about the report of screaming sounds heard around one week earlier.
The call was received by Dr. Virgil Davis, a U.K. college professor.
“I was here when the screams were heard,” he said. “There were some loud, blood-curdling screams but nobody could find out anything more.”
I then asked if Dr. Davis knew anything about any UFO sighting and he said: “Yes, I saw it.”
Dr. Davis said that he was driving toward his home on Friday, November 21 between 9 and 10:00 p.m. with his 2 sons, 15 and 18-years old (He recalls the specific date, knowing that one son is in college and would not have been home any day except Friday).
While driving, they all spotted a soundless aerial object over a nearby open field that was described as an oval-shaped, white-colored light source as big as a pea held at arms length which moved ‘like a hummingbird would move.’
The object, seen in the dark and clear night skies, was relatively high when first seen and was “coming down, moving in increments as if an elevator would drop and stay there awhile, then drop and stay there awhile,” Dr. Davis said.
After the first 3 or 4 minutes of visual observation, the object began moving around to different parts of the sky. They got out of car to see if they could identify this object and verified to their satisfaction that the object was not a plane, helicopter or aurora borealis.
“My first inclination was to rationalize what this object could have been,” Dr. Davis said. “rather than jumping to conclusions. After we ruled out the various possible explanations we assumed that this was a UFO.”
“I know for a fact that there was no explanation for this object and I’m just glad I had my two sons with me to see it,” he said.
After observing this object for a few minutes, Dr. Davis and his 2 sons got back in the car and drove on to their home under a certain sense of apprehension.
“I would say that our feeling was more a sense of apprehension than fear,” he said, “I did not know what it was we were looking at and had some concern that it might or could have spotted us.”
After driving the short distance to their house, they went to a second floor bedroom and looked out the window to the northwest where they continued to watch the object. It descended lower toward the ground and seemed to be settling in a nearby field where its color had shifted from a white to an orange. As the object got lower and lower to the ground, it became bigger and its color changed to a reddish light.
He said that the size of the object increased from a pea at arms length to a dime at arm’s length, stressing that its size, from his perspective, was “not quite as drastic as a nickel at arms length.”
“There was like a vacuum of silence while we watched this,” Dr. Davis said, “it was like everything was real quiet, at a standstill and then when it became a red color, everything went crazy.”
Dr. Davis said that animals in the area suddenly erupted in a frenzy. His neighbors dog was barking crazily and his German Shepherd dog tried to break its chain.
From his perspective, the object descended to the ground but was not certain that it touched or made contact with the ground as trees prevented him from seeing this with certainty.
“At that point, after this object got red, it just “shot off” like a dart, some kind of acceleration and it just took off to the west. We just stood there dumbfounded.”
He said the sighting lasted for an estimated 10 to 15 minute duration.
“I was very reluctant to call the police about a UFO sighting,” he said, “at that point, we were not going to report this.”
“Right after that my 2-sons went back outside and heard the screaming. It was a female voice. They got in the car and within minutes had called from their cell phone to say that they had been hearing screaming sounds in the field where this thing came down,” he said.
“Approximately 20-minutes after the UFO sighting the police were at my door, there were about 20 officers and a rescue squad over in the field where I spotted the UFO. They were combing the area and had asked me what I knew about someone screaming.”
“Apparently, others had heard the screaming sounds.”
I asked Dr. Davis if he could explain what was heard and he emphasized that he did not hear the screaming sounds himself, that his 2 sons heard the disturbing commotion, along with other residents in the area that notified law enforcement.
Dr. Davis paused from our conversation to check with one of his sons, asking if he could recount the nature of the screaming sounds. He said it was a desperate, blood curdling scream of a female voice that kept saying: “Help me, oh my God, help me!”
“Apparently several people had heard the screaming, I don’t know how long it lasted,” he said.
When the police arrived at his doorstep knocking on his door (an estimated 15 minutes after the UFO departed), Dr. Davis volunteered information about the UFO sighting.
“I took the officer to the side and explained to him that this is going to sound crazy, but I need to tell you what I saw tonight.”
“I told the police about the UFO after they came to the door, I don’t know if anyone else saw the UFO but the officer taking my report took me seriously. He didn’t write anything down while I talked with him,” Dr. Davis said.
When asked if the police officer indicated that anyone else had also witnessed the UFO, Dr. Davis said that the police officer said he had seen a UFO also but was uncertain if he was referring to the same object or a separate, unrelated sighting.
Dr. Davis said that aside from reporting this to the police officer who knocked on his door, he had not reported this sighting to any other person and that he was not the source for the report which was submitted to The National UFO Reporting Center. He was puzzled how the report made it to NUFORC and said that neither he, nor his sons, reported the sighting to anyone.
“I’m still trying to figure out who reported this,” Dr. Davis said after our conversation. He went on to say how he got “freaked out” when the cops came to the door asking about the screaming sounds.
He described the area of his residence as isolated and surrounded by fields and woodland. His road is paved. He emphasized that the screaming sounds came from the immediate area where the unidentified object had come to the ground. “The screaming sounds came from the field, and I have no explanation for it.”
Dr. Davis, who teaches psychology for the Ashland, Kentucky Community College branch of the University of Kentucky, also said that he had previously seen a UFO when he was in his freshman year in college at Morehead State University in 1976. He said the object was similar to what he saw on Friday, November 21, 2003.
A Scottish driving instructor claims that on January 27, 1999, during a driving lesson with a 17 year old pupil, we saw a black diamond shaped UFO flying through the sky at 6:20 PM. It had no flashing lights that you would see on any normal aircraft. The driving lesson continued when 20 to 25 minutes later we stopped to do a ‘Reverse Exercise’ at a local park known as Fairmuir Park. I looked up in the sky to see if I could still see the UFO. It was hovering high in the sky glowing like a star. I recognized it as the UFO I had seen earlier because of the shape. I got out of my car to look at it and after about a minute it rotated anti-clockwise. Directly underneath there was an orange colored beam that came down from the UFO and went back up again. At this point I shouted to my pupil to come out of the car. I could not see any lights nor could I here any sound. We were both standing in the park trying to figure out what we were looking at. We had never seen anything like it.
Several minutes later it started moving away. We jumped into the car and followed its movement for ten minutes. It was glowing a brilliant white/very light yellowish color. It was almost circular but a little oval in the center now. We could not believe what we were looking at, it was definitely not from this world it was extraterrestrial. We watched until it disappeared over the river Tay and into the hills of Fife. The time was now 7:00 PM. Later I learned that the following morning at 8:40 AM a relative of mine with her two daughters also saw an object over the river Tay. It was hovering over the water with two yellow beams coming from underneath. It rose vertically into the sky, but they lost sight of it when a building obstructed their view. They described it as shining like a star, very bright white/yellowish color. We believe all five of us saw the same UFO. Two girls 9 and 13 years, and their mother saw it. My pupil and I saw it the night before.” Thanks to UFO Scotland. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
One night, in March of 2015, I was lying in bed. I shared a room with my two siblings (9 and 6). It was dark, no lights were outside. I was already paranoid; I had a feeling I was being watched. Suddenly, a flash of really bright light came through the window, on the wall I had a picture frame. I swear I could see something large in the reflection, possibly a spacecraft of some sort. There was no noise. I ran out of the room, startled and screaming for my parents. They were watching tv downstairs and heard the commotion. My dad ran upstairs and asked what was wrong. I told him that I saw a bright light outside the window and that I didn’t want to go back to bed. My parents let me stay downstairs and watch tv with them for an hour or so. Then it was time for everyone to sleep. My mom offered to sleep on the couch so I could sleep in the bed with my dad because I was still so terrified. I agreed. So, I went to bed in my parent’s room with my dad beside me.
I tried to convince my dad to keep a light on, but he said that “I would be fine” and that “If I want to sleep in his room, I have to sleep with the light off” so I complied. My Dad has sleep apnea, so he has to use a machine to sleep comfortably. He snores really loud and the mask he had to wear for his sleep apnea created so much white noise that he could barely hear anything else. After he puts on his mask and we say our goodnights, we fall asleep. At around what I would say is 3 AM (I don’t know for sure, I just know it was around then) I woke up to the sound of whispering. It wasn’t English, it almost sounded like gibberish, some foreign language. My heart sunk. I slowly opened my eyes, so scared of what I was going to see. There were three tall, skinny, grey creatures with big black oval-shaped eyes. Two were at the foot of the bed while the other was to my bedside (I was on the left side of the bed). Everything was so vivid, it was 100% my parents bedroom. They all stared at me. I could barely move, but I still managed to pull up the bedsheet above my eyes.
In an act of desperation, I tried to utter to my dad. “Dad… Dad…” I said. But he couldn’t hear me over the sound of his sleep apnea machine as well as his loud snoring. Then everything went black. The next morning, I remember being in slight pain. My stomach hurt, but I didn’t think much of it. In fact I barely remembered the night before. I ruled the entire experience the night before as a possible nightmare, but I still felt so weird about the whole thing. As the months went by, I started getting more and more interested in aliens. I wanted to know more about them because of this “nightmare” I had. But every night, I wouldn’t be able to fall asleep, I was so scared (perhaps reading about them wasn’t the best idea either) that I would keep every light on in my room and stare at my window until I couldn’t bare to stay awake. Then I started having nightmares. Nightmares about these tall grey beings with big oval shaped eyes. Nothing much happened in the dreams except for being able to see them.
After a few of these dreams, I started to feel that something may have been happening to me, almost like the first “nightmare” I had wasn’t a nightmare at all. I tried telling my mom about my experience, but she told me it sounded like a sleep paralysis nightmare. Throughout the months after my experience, I also started having severe stomach problems and panic attacks, but my mom thought it was just anxiety. She ended up getting scheduling me with a therapist (more like a counselor, but was trained in anxiety and EMDR). Throughout my visits with her, I told her that I had a “nightmare” that felt more real than like a dream. The one I said earlier in the post. Every single time I saw her, I mentioned it to her, until one day she decided she was going to try something. In order for me to get past it, she thought it would be a good idea to try EMDR ((Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) on me. My mom stayed in the lobby, and the therapist and I went into her office. She sat me down and started to wave her fingers in the air, trying to get me to follow them.
Then I started to enter a trance like state. She asked me to walk her through the nightmare, so I did. I told her about the figures surrounding the bed, whispering in gibberish. And then she told me to keep going. I started to recount things I couldn’t remember beforehand. After I pulled up the sheets to cover my eyes and after I tried to get my Dads attention, one of the beings grabbed the sheet and pulled it off of me gently. I was frozen. It picked me up, the being was cold to the touch (I was in my underwear) and I distinctly remember that the being had long fingers, either 3 or 4 of them on both hands. The 3 beings (me included) headed for the window in my parents room. The window as already open and the curtain was blowing in the wind. We all leapt out of the window (I’m still in the beings arms) (window is on the second story) onto the grass below. We were in my backyard. We didn’t have a fence and had a forest behind our house. The beings ran into the forest. I remember the sound of the grass, it was wet and was sloshing.
I remember seeing the beings feet sloshing on the ground. It was so cold. As we ran through the forest, I saw light reflecting off the trees. We ended up getting to a huge metallic spaceship. It had a strip of windows in the middle of it, it kind of looked like an Oreo. There was a walk way into the ship and the 3 beings walked up it with me in their possession. They brought me into a room where I was surrounded by bright lights. They set me on a metal table which was extremely cold on my skin. They strapped me in on the legs, arms, and head with metal bands. Then the 3 that brought me left. A new figure walked in, it was the same species, but it was carrying a tool. It looked kind of like a pizza cutter, but jagged and warped. I remember begging the creature that whatever it did, I didn’t want them to hurt me. It didn’t say anything. Instead, it turned on the pizza cutter shaped device, which started spinning rapidly.
It brought it to my stomach. I remember feeling vibrating, but I can’t remember if there was any pain. I tried not to look, but my curiosity got the best of me. I peered down and saw what looked to be some intestines get removed from my stomach. Then I started to panic, I screamed at the top of my lungs for the beings to stop and let me go. At this point during EMDR, I was hyperventilating. I had not known that any of this was in my memory and I panicked. Before we could finish up, I jumped up out of my chair screaming and ran out into the lobby where my mom was waiting for me. I kept saying over and over “THEY CUT ME OPEN GOD THEY CUT ME OPEN”. Then after I calmed down, my mom lifted my shirt up to prove everything was fine. But in fact, there was a huge mark. It looked like a small surgery scar on the side of my stomach. (I still have the scar) I panicked more. And was crying profusely. My therapist didn’t believe anything I had said and tried insinuating to my mother that I was schizophrenic (I can assure you, I am not). We never went back to her again.
Astronaut’s Ed White and James McDivitt were passing over Hawaii in a Gemini spacecraft in June 1965, when they saw a weird-looking metallic object. The UFO had long arms sticking out of it. McDivitt took pictures with a cine-camera. Those pictures have never been released. In December 1965, Gemini astronauts James Lovell and Frank Borman also saw a UFO during their second orbit of their record-breaking 14 day flight. Borman reported that he saw an unidentified spacecraft some distance from their capsule. Gemini Control, at Cape Kennedy told him that he was seeing the final stage of their Titan booster rocket. Borman confirmed that he could see the booster rocket all right, but that he could also see something completely different. During James Lovell’s flight on Gemini 7: Lovell: “BOGEY AT 10 O’CLOCK HIGH.” Capcom: This is Houston, “Say again 7.” Lovell: “SAID WE HAVE A BOGEY AT 10 O’CLOCK HIGH.” Capcom: Gemini 7, “Is that the booster or is that an actual sighting?” Lovell: “WE HAVE SEVERAL…ACTUAL SIGHTING.” Capcom: …”Estimated distance or size?” Lovell: “WE ALSO HAVE THE BOOSTER IN SIGHT !” …… NOTE: The above image is CGI.
AUGUST 13-14,1956.……….Because of the major importance of the 1980 UFO landings in Rendlesham Forest near the RAF / USA joint bases of Bentwaters and Woodbridge, another important, well documented UFO sighting at Bentwaters is often overlooked.
Observations of unidentified objects by USAF and RAF personnel, extending over 5 hours, and involving ground-radar, airborne-radar, ground visual and airborne-visual sightings of high-speed unconventionally maneuvering objects in the vicinity of two RAF stations at night make this case a true “unexplained.”. It is Case 2 in the Condon Report and is there conceded to be unexplained.
On the night of August 13-14, 1956, radar operators at two military bases in the east of England repeatedly tracked single and multiple objects which displayed high speed, as well as rapid changes of speed and direction. Two jet interceptors were sent up, and were able to see and track them in a brief series of maneuvers. According to official U.S. Air Force reports, the sightings could not be explained by radar malfunction or by unusual weather.
It began at 9:30 p.m. when Airman 2nd Class John Vaccare, of the U.S. Air Force at RAF Bentwaters, tracked one UFO on his Ground Controlled Approach radar (type AN/MPN-11A) as it flew 40-50 miles (65 to 80 km.) in 30 seconds, i.e. 4,800 to 6,000 mph (7,500 to 9,500 km./hr.).
A few minutes later Vaccare reported to T/Sergeant L. Whenry that a group of 12 to 15 unidentified targets was tracked from 8 miles (13 km.) southwest of Bentwaters to 40 miles (65 km.) northeast, at which time they “appeared to converge into one very large object, according to the size of the blip on the radar scope, which seemed to be several times larger than a B-36 aircraft [the largest operational bomber in history, with a wingspan of 230 feet or 70 m.].” The single large blip stopped twice for several minutes while being tracked, before flying off the scope.
At 10 p.m., a single unidentified target was tracked from Bentwaters as it covered 55 miles (90 km.) in just 16 seconds. This works out to over 12,000 mph (19,000 km./hr.).
Then, at 10:55 p.m., the Bentwaters GCA radar picked up an unidentified target on the same east-to-west course as the previous one, at an apparent speed of “2,000 to 4,000 mph” (3,200 to 6,400 km./hr.). Someone in the Bentwaters control tower reported seeing “a bright light passing over the field from east to west at about 4,000 feet [1,200 m.].”
At about the same time, the pilot of a C-47 twin-engine military transport plane over Bentwaters said, “a bright light streaked under my aircraft travelling east to west at terrific speed.” All three reports coincided.
Soon after, radars at Bentwaters and RAF Lakenheath reported a stationary object 20-25 miles (32-40 km.) southwest of the latter base. It suddenly began moving north at 400 to 600 mph (650 to 1,000 km./hr.), but “there was no build-up to this speed – it was constant from the second it started to move until it stopped.” It made several abrupt changes of direction without appearing to slow for its turns.
Around 11:30 p.m., the RAF launched a deHavilland Venom jet interceptor, from RAF Waterbeach. According to the U.S. Air Force UFO report:
“Pilot advised he had a bright white light in sight and would investigate. At 13 miles [20 km.] west he reported loss of target and white light. Lakenheath (radar) vectored him to a target 10 miles [16 km.] east of Lakenheath and pilot advised (that) target was on his radar and was ‘locking on.’ Pilot then reported he had lost target on his radar.
“Lakenheath GCA reports that as the Venom passed the target on radar, the target began a tail chase of the friendly fighter. Radar requested pilot acknowledge this chase. Pilot acknowledged and stated he would try to circle and get behind the target. Pilot advised he was unable to ‘shake’ the target off his tail and requested assistance.
“One additional Venom was scrambled from RAF station. Original pilot stated: ‘Clearest target I have ever seen on radar.” The following conversation between the two Venom fighter pilots was heard by the Lakenheath watch supervisor:
“Did you see anything?” [Pilot #2]
“I saw something, but I’ll be damned if I know what it was.” [Pilot #1]
“What happened?” [Pilot #2]
“He – or it – got behind me and I did everything I could to get behind him and I couldn’t. It’s the damndest thing I’ve ever seen.” [Pilot #1]
The 1969 report by the Air Force-funded study at the University of Colorado under Dr. Edward U. Condon concluded:
“In summary, this is the most puzzling and unusual case in the radar-visual files. The apparent rational, intelligent behavior of the UFO suggests a mechanical device of unknown origin as the most probable explanation of this sighting. However, in view of the inevitable fallibility of witnesses, more conventional explanations of this report cannot be entirely ruled out.”
USAF Air Intelligence Information Report filed by Captain Edward L. Holt, August 31, 1956.
RAF CONTROLLER ACCOUNT:
This is the little-known but definitive account by F.H.C. Wimbledon, RAF Fighter Controller on duty at RAF Neatishead, Norfolk:
“I was Chief Controller on duty at the main RAF Radar Station in East Anglia on the night in question. My duties were to monitor the radar picture and to scramble the Battle Flight, who were on duty 24 hours a day, to intercept any intruder of British airspace not positively identified in my sector of responsibility.”
“I remember Lakenheath USAF base telephoning to say there was some thing “buzzing” their airfield circuit. I scrambled a Venom night fighter from the Battle Flight through Sector and my controller in the Interception Cabin took over control of it. The Interception Control team would consist of one Fighter Controller (an Officer), a Corporal, a tracker and a height reader. That is, four highly trained personnel in addition to myself could now clearly see the object on our radarscopes.”
“After being vectored onto the trail of the object by my Interception Controller, the pilot called out, “Contact,” then a short time later, “Judy,” which meant the Navigator had the target fairly and squarely on his own radar screen and needed no further help from the ground. He continued to close on the target but after a few seconds, and in the space of one or two sweeps of our scopes, the object appeared behind our fighter.
Our pilot called out, “Lost Contact, more help,” and he was told the target was now behind him and he was given fresh instructions.”
“I then scrambled a second Venom which was vectored toward the area but before it arrived on the scene the target had disappeared from our scopes and although we continued to keep a careful watch was not seen by us.”
“The fact remains that at least nine RAF ground personnel and two RAF aircrew were conscious of an object sufficiently “solid” to give returns on radar. Naturally, all this was reported and a Senior Officer from the Air Ministry came down and interrogated us.”
THE CONDON REPORT CASE:
Lakenheath, England, 13-14 August 1956
The Condon Report:
2230-0330 LST. Weather: generally clear until 0300 LST on the 14th. (For details see Section IV.)
The probability that anomalous propagation of radar signals may have been involved in this case seems to be small. One or two details are suggestive of AP, particularly the reported disappearance of the first track as the UFO appeared to overfly the Bentwaters GCA radar. Against this must be weighed the Lakenheath controller’s statement that there was “little or no traffic or targets on scope,” which is not at all suggestive of AP conditions, and the behavior of the target near Lakenheath – apparently continuous and easily tracked.
The “tailing” of the RAF fighter, taken alone, seems to indicate a possible ghost image, but this does not jibe with the report that the UFO stopped following the fighter, as the latter was returning to its base, and went off in a different direction. The radar operators were apparently careful to calculate the speed of the UFO from distances and elapsed times, and the speeds were reported as consistent from run to run, between stationary episodes. This behavior would be somewhat consistent with reflections from moving atmospheric layers – but not in so many different directions.
Visual mirage at Bentwaters seems to be out of the question because of the combined ground and airborne observations; the C47 pilot apparently saw the UFO below him. The visual objects do not seem to have been meteors; statements by the observers that meteors were numerous imply that they were able to differentiate the UFO from the meteors.
In summary, this is the most puzzling and unusual case in the radar-visual files. The apparently rational, intelligent behavior of the UFO suggests a mechanical device of unknown origin as the most probable explanation of this sighting. However, in view of the inevitable fallibility of witnesses, more conventional explanations of this report cannot be entirely ruled out. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
Only about a week after the now-famous Mt. Rainier sighting by private pilot Kenneth Arnold, a United Air Lines DC-3 crew sighted two separate formations of wingless discs, shortly after takeoff from Boise (Refs. 8, 10, 22, 28). I located and interviewed the pilot, Capt. Emil J. Smith, now with United’s New York office. He confirmed the reliability of previously published accounts. United Flight 105 had left Boise at 9:04 p.m. About eight minutes out, en route to Seattle, roughly over Emmett, Idaho, Co-pilot Stevens, who spotted the first of two groups of objects, turned on his landing lights under the initial impression the objects were aircraft. But, studying them against the twilight sky, Smith and Stevens soon realized that neither wings nor tails were visible on the five objects ahead. After calling a stewardess, in order to get a third confirming witness, they watched the formation a bit longer, called Ontario, Oregon CAA to try to get ground-confirmation, and then saw the formation spurt ahead and disappear at high speed off to the west.
Smith emphasized to me that there were no cloud phenomena to confuse them here and that they observed these objects long enough to be quite certain that they were no conventional aircraft. They appeared “flat on the bottom, rounded on top”, he told me, and he added that there seemed to be perceptible “roughness” of some sort on top, though he could not refine that description. Almost immediately after they lost sight of the first five, a second formation of four (three in line and a fourth off to the side) moved in ahead of their position, again traveling westward but at a somewhat higher altitude than the DC-3’s 8000 ft. These passed quickly out of sight to the west at speeds which they felt were far beyond then-known speeds. Smith emphasized that they were never certain of sizes and distances, but that they had the general impression that these disc-like craft were appreciably larger than ordinary aircraft.
Smith emphasized that he had not taken seriously the previous week’s news accounts that coined the since-persistent term, “flying saucer.” But, after seeing this total of nine unconventional, high-speed wingless craft on the evening of 7/4/47, he became much more interested in the matter. Nevertheless, in talking with me, he stressed that he would not speculate on their real nature or origin. I have spoken with United Air Lines personnel who have known Smith for years and vouch for his complete reliability. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
Driving on a highway very familiar to me, it was around 1 am. As I neared my destination, I saw lights in the distance and thought they must be street lights, then remembered there are no street lights in the area. There were no other traffic at that time. When I noticed one of the objects veering from the group and headed in my direction, I slowed down to hopefully see what it was. Incredibly, as it got closer, I pulled to the side of the road and watched as it reached about 100 feet from me. It was hovering across the highway, about 50 feet above ground. I rolled down the window to see better and watched the craft. There was absolutely no sound coming from it. I sat there several minutes trying to absorb in my mind what was I seeing. It occurred to me that I too was being observed. Several minutes passed then the craft veered off and headed back to the group. Because I knew it would sound ridiculous, I didn’t mention the event for two weeks before I told someone what happened. The response was it had to be a helicopter. The object was a large, disc shaped and totally silent. That was not a helicopter. I never mentioned it again for several years and only to two other people. But I know what I experienced was real, whatever it was. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
I had just been picked up from work by two friends, and we were driving eastbound on Femrite Dr., on the southeast side of Madison WI., when we came upon a small traffic jam. Several cars were pulled over on both sides of the road, and the vehicle’s occupants were standing outside their cars, pointing and looking at something in the air, just to the north of the roadway. When we looked, we saw a cylindrical object, approximately the same size and shape of a Boeing 737’s fuselage, hovering about 100ft in the air, above a building. We also pulled over on the shoulder and got out of the car to get a better look. On closer inspection, it was obvious this object was not anything we had ever seen, or even heard of before. The “tube” was rounded at the “front” and tapered in the “rear,” with a short ridge rising vertically from the “rear.” The object did not have wings or stabilizers and had no visible external lights or markings. There was a row of what appeared to be oval windows, running along the side of the “tube” from front to back, which glowed with a soft, diffuse, yellowish-white light that seemed to be coming from internal lighting.
Although the light from these “windows” was more intense than one would expect from a commercial jetliner’s windows at night, the shapes, arrangement, and light color of the “windows” were all very similar. However, the area in the “front” that would hold a cockpit in an airplane’s fuselage, had no windows, and no traditional airplane “nose.” Instead, the “front” of the tube was capped with a shallow dome shape. There were no visible doors, or seams, and it appeared totally smooth, with a matte white finish. We did not see any movement inside, or any variation in the light coming from inside. Externally, it stayed 100% stationary while hovering, and the object made no sound whatsoever during the entire encounter. Also, it did not appear to cause any effects to it’s surroundings, and did not appear to be affected by wind, as it remained eerily still despite the trees around it blowing in the wind. As we stood on the side of the road and watched the object hover, more and more vehicles were pulling over, and a crowd was forming to watch it hover.
My friends and I were completely flabbergasted, and we just kept repeating “what is that?,” “what the **** is that?,” over and over. Eventually, after personally watching it hover for between 5-10 minutes (I don’t know how long the object had been there before we arrived), it suddenly flew away, up and to the north, perpendicular to it’s orientation (sideways!). As it flew away, it turned so the “front” of the tube was pointed in the direction it was traveling, but it was obvious the orientation of the object did not determine the directions or velocities it could move. It flew away silently, at approximately a 40-50° angle relative to the northern horizon and reached a distance so far away that it could no longer be seen, in approximately 1-2 seconds.
This experience was life changing for us, and I can remember it very vividly. Unfortunately, this was before we had cameras in our phones, & we didn’t have a camera with us, so I don’t have any pictures or videos. Despite discussing it often and avidly with the friends who were with me when it happened, I had only told a couple of other people about this experience until recently. Recent news stories, and more acceptance of the possibility of UFOs, prompted me to start telling my story again. Since there were at least 20 other witnesses besides the 3 of us, who had also pulled over to observe this event, I decided to officially report this encounter here. I am hoping that others who were there when it happened might see this report and decide to tell their story too!! If you were there, and you’re reading this, please submit your own report so I can read it! NOTE: The above image is CGI.
I was visiting my mother with my uncle-in-law. My uncle-in-law and I left my mother’s home and ran some errands. After the errands I dropped my uncle-in-law off at his girlfriend’s home. I was driving home on 1-5 when I felt compelled to get off at an exit unknown to me. I remember it being unusually dark. I took a right hand turn off the exit and came to a three way and I took a left. I was feeling nervous/panicked because I didn’t know where I was. I pulled over to look at Google Maps and all I remember next was being parked in of the middle of a different 3 way stop and there was a stop sign and a car appeared drove past my passenger side and disappeared into the night. I also remember coming down a hill and fell relief because it was the exit I had taken in the first place. All of a sudden, it felt like I was falling and then my airbags in the car exploded as I heard two distinct booms. The car was totaled.
I left the vehicle to look to around and I heard a noise that terrified me and it sounded like an animal snorting, Like a bull. After an unknown amount of time, a car drove by again without stopping. I somehow was now parked next to a ditch. In what seemed like 10 minutes the sheriff showed up and ended up driving me home after speaking with me. I am still confused about how I ended up in the location the sheriff arrived at. I asked the sheriff how far away we were from Highway 9 and he said that I had to have come from Highway 9 but I took the exit off of I-5. My wife says that there are more than 2 hours where I was uncounted for except for a phone call my wife made to me at 10:30 pm where I answered “hi” (not my usual greeting) and then silence. She said she was angry and hung up on me but then tried to call me back 4 times and each time it went to my answering machine. I called her at nearly 12:40 am and she ignored it. I texted her “answer your phone” and she called me back and says she was growing increasingly frustrated with my inability to explain what had just happened. The sheriff drove me home.

This case is under investigation by the ERT Director George Medich. The MUFON ERT interviews and tries to assist people who have interactions with non-human and/or extraterrestrial entities.
A British charter jet has had a close encounter with a UFO said to be “the size of a battleship”. The shocked pilot and crew of a Debonair BAe146 plane reported being buzzed by “a long cylindrical object” as they flew over the North Sea. The North Sea lies between Great Britain, Denmark, Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France. Three other pilots have also independently logged seeing the bright object 58 miles off the coast of Denmark. Last night the Civil Aviation Authority confirmed a comprehensive report of the pilot’s sighting had been received. The report says the captain and crew first became aware of the object after the underside of the plane was immersed in “an incandescent light”. A CAA spokeswoman said: “The captain reported seeing an unnatural bright light below his aircraft while flying at 28,000ft. The area below him was illuminated for about 10 seconds by incandescent light and it was certainly not a light from another plane.
“Three other aircraft saw it moving at a high speed or static. However, air traffic control were informed and they confirmed that there were no other planes in the vicinity. “Then, five minutes later, there was a brief radar return from a spot 75 miles away. We believe there was no danger involved.” The Luton-based 96-seater plane was flying company executives from Linkoping, Sweden, to Humberside airport. A spokesman for Debonair, which runs cut-price flights throughout Europe, said chief executive Franco Mancassola had been informed that a “great red light in the sky” had been spotted near one of the company’s planes. At one stage, the report says, the object came to an abrupt halt before accelerating past the airliner at thousands of miles an hour. A CAA source says the object was tracked by a military radar station in Yorkshire after it entered UK air space. A spokesman for the 6,000 member British Pilots Association said: “We get reports of this nature from our members but they are few and far between. “In the past 10 years or so I would say there have been around six cases of UFO’s being sighted.
The Mirror – London From Gerry Lovell……. A passenger jet’s crew have reported a close encounter with an unidentified flying object. They said that they noticed an “incandescent” light below their Debonair BAe 146 as it headed over the North Sea from Sweden to Humberside. Then, they added, a long cylindrical silver-coloured object the size of a battleship flew alongside. The British plane’s shocked captain saw what seemed to be rows of square portholes on the UFO before it vanished at “enormous speed”. The crew told the Defense Ministry about their sighting. An RAF radar station tracked the object, which was seen from three other planes. NOTE: The above image is real but from another case file.
I made a report on this more than a decade ago. I know it sounded far-fetched so nobody contacted me, and I understand why. I was and am a weathernut. This was late October in 1997. I got up at 11 pm to watch the local news/weather on WVIR radio. I walked outside to look at the sky and it was a very bright moonlit night with a lot of puffy clouds in the sky. I knew that it was supposed to rain later that night. As I was just staring south something caught my eye over my left shoulder. I immediately turned and saw what appeared to be something like a giant angel solid white. It vanished as soon as I saw it. While I’m standing there trying to gather my thoughts on what the hell I had just seen, farther up to my NNE an orange outline of a classic flying saucer took shape inside of cumulus cloud. It then began to swing in and out of the cloud like it was tied to something higher up in the heavens.
It was transparent. I could see the orange outline on the other side. I do not remember going back inside, I just remember looking out a window multiple times and it was still there before it vanished. I remember sleeping on the sofa curled into the fetal position saying over and over they do exist. I was 21 still living with my grandparents. The next morning my grandmother casually mentioned to me that we lost 2 neighbors within a mile or so that night. An elderly lady and a young lady who had a seizure disorder. This was way up in the mountains near Crozet Va in Browns Cove hollow. Loosing 2 neighbors would be very unusual in the same night. I had one other experience at this same house in the summer of 1994 that my grandmother witnessed at 2am. She was the one who was terrified and woke me up. I know that you guys probably do not believe me, and I understand. I would very much like to talk to someone. Thank you for your time and hopefully understanding. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
I was 13 years old, living in a small town called Patos de Minas in Minas Gerais, Brazil at the time. I slept in the same bedroom as my mom, but she was not at home that night, so after dinner, I watched some TV and went to bed. That was a hot night, so I left the window open to get some air. I didn’t remember very well what time was it but it was before 9 PM when I got to bed. I fell asleep after some minutes.
I woke up with a brighter light than usual in my room, the light was coming from the window, but it was much brighter than it should be because the window of our bedroom was not faced to the street. I remember that I had some issues opening my eyes because of the light. When I was able to finally see better, I saw three entities in my window. When I realized that I was totally terrified, but also I was not able to move, maybe because of fear. I first thought that it could be someone trying to get into the house to steal something, but when I focused on the beings, they were not human.
They had big heads, the skin was in some shades of gray, the eyes were large and black, the mouths were small and I saw no nose or ears. They were staring at me, and sometimes they would look at each other. I didn’t hear anything, so if they were communicating between them it could be they were talking very low or with their minds. I don’t know how much time passed, I just know that after a while I was able to turn my face away from the window and just kept staring at the wall waiting for that to pass, but the bright light was covering the whole room and I was really scared.
I remember turning my face to the window two or three times and the entities were still there. After that, I just remember waking up the next morning. But the weird part is that I didn’t remember anything about that for quite a while. The memory seems to be repressed by my mind for years. I was just able to fully recover the whole experience when I was 17 years old and I didn’t tell this to anyone for 10 years afraid that people say that it was just a dream or that I was crazy. Although I didn’t remember the experience, after that I was never able to go to sleep with the windows or doors open again. My mom asked me many times why I started to sleep with the bedroom windows and door closed and I was not able to explain, just said that I was not feeling comfortable sleeping with them open. I am 30 almost 31 years old today and I still can’t sleep in a room with the windows or door open. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
I was driving home and I had three teenagers with me. We were driving east on highway 322 in Fowler Mills, Ohio. In the passenger seat was a friend of my two children that were in the backseat. As I was driving, I saw the largest thing I had ever seen. It was in front of us behind trees. It was dull gray in color and was a domed shape. It took up three quarters of my vision out of the windshield. So very large. This sounds crazy but it moved slowly downward. I got a feeling of softness. It also only lasted less than a minute. I said to my passenger” Did you see that? What was it?” He replied that he had seen it. My first thought was there’s a party and this had something to do with that party. Then I thought I was crazy because it was so mammoth! It simply went behind the trees. I was driving on the flat part of a hill. The trees were around a curve so I couldn’t see the bottom of them. It was so incredibly huge it could not possibly have landed anywhere. If it had I certainly would have seen it on my way home. The strangest part was that this young man and I never discussed this or tried to figure out what it was together. Never. I have no idea why we didn’t. It was simply a fact and it was accepted. I can still see as it as clearly today, so many years later. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
Dennis reports that on February 15, 1999, a triangle passed overhead heading west to east while he was driving on Route 138 north of Woodville. He lost sight of it due to the trees. A few days later, on February 20, he and his wife were sitting in their sunroom at 11:40 PM. They were watching a fox feed on bread they had put outside, when a craft appeared heading in a southerly direction. They stepped out on the porch for a closer look. Dennis states, “The craft passed over us silently, slowly, steadily and very low. The underside of it was dimly lighted by a hazy white light, thus making it possible to see the logo. The logo was a triangle edged in yellow containing the Earth being struck by two lightning bolts with the number ‘1’ in the right hand corner. As it approached, a feeling of serenity and calm came over us making it a wonderful feeling to watch as it passed overhead. I estimate the speed of the craft at five to ten miles and hour. The size was approximately 40 feet in length and forty feet wide at the rear of the craft with the nose of the craft forming a point.
The craft looked similar to a Stealth fighter, however it was a much large plane. The altitude of the craft was about one hundred feet, I repeat there was not a sound from the craft and id did not even create a breeze. I would appreciate any answers you might have to as what this craft is or who it belongs to.” Thanks to Dennis Bossack.
Editors Note: I have spent several hours on the phone interviewing Dennis who states the logo or insignia was five feet in diameter and at the front was the Omega symbol. The two lightning strikes that penetrate Earth begin at the 11 and 1 o’clock position. A similar lightning symbol was used by Roman soldiers conquering ancient Britain. The lightning strikes could infer a discharge of atmospheric electricity or perhaps intentions of colonizing Earth. We are also receiving strange communications from someone claiming to be Robert Omega. The Bossack’s are respectable home owners mystified by this sighting. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
Imagine if you will, the Shuttle Atlantis orbiting Earth and being followed closely by something NASA called, “a UFO.” Well that’s what CNN, Larry King Live, The Seattle Times and ABC news reported. Atlantis was launched into space on September 9, 2006. An intense twelve-day mission and a stressful twenty-four hours with what NASA said were three gray metallic circular-shaped UFO’s changing positions around them in orbit. These objects flew around the shuttle, racing from the front to the back, quickly changing positions and then just hovering for a while. Latter NASA tried to say the UFOs were objects that had unknowingly floated out of the cargo bay. It is impossible that objects could have floated out of the shuttle cargo bay and had the ability to increase speed, to pass the shuttle and be visible in front of the nose area, as the recorded NASA conversations show.
Fox News showed clear video of not one, but four metallic ball-like UFO’s near the shuttle. These objects appear perfectly round and occasionally move from one location to another around the shuttle. If it was debris, it should not be able to move so suddenly and still stay in perfect orbit with the shuttle. The objects seemed to zoom to other position around the shuttle quickly and then hold their position for a while as if they were curious about the shuttle. NASA admitted they often see objects like these through the years and even chased after them a bit, but none have ever gotten the recognition that this mission has gotten, yet they said they have never been able to find out where these circular-shaped objects came from. NASA eventually came upon the conclusion that the tiny ball like UFOs didn’t pose any threat to the shuttle.
NASA delayed their planned landing of the space shuttle Atlantis by more than a day because engineers spotted several unidentified flying objects matching the Atlantis’s orbit perfectly without deviation. On CNN, NASA declared it as a UFO and then latter claimed it was an object that may have accidentally flown out of its cargo bay. NASA kept repeating that it was “a UFO” rather that what Fox News video reveals showing visibly at least 4 or more dull grey ball UFOs. One object was estimated by FOX news to be close to the size of a small house. An object of this size could not fit into the cargo bay of the shuttle, but when NASA engineers’ scrambled for an explanation, the best they could think of was that it came from the cargo bay.
NASA engineers became frantically worried that the item that floated out of the cargo bay may have been a crucial element to the shuttle and may cause a severe accident on reentry as in 1993 when the space shuttle Columbia disintegrated on reentry, killing all seven astronauts aboard. Many UFOlogist claim that the Colombia collided with a UFO on reentry, but that has yet to be proven.
NASA engineers believed that the object might have shook loose from the shuttle during the firing of jets in preparation for landing. The shuttle crew was ordered to do an additional inspection, something the Atlantis crew already had done twice earlier. An inspection is tedious and time consuming, because the crew and those who break down the data that is sent back to Mission Control are looking for the tiniest of cracks that could allow damaging heat to penetrate the shuttle during re-entry. This inspection the third time seems to have been done to keep the crew of the shuttle busy on their work and keep their minds off the UFOs flying outside their windows.
NASA even decided that the UFO may be a serious threat to Atlantis and they circled the date November 11th to be the day that they would be forced to launch STS 300, shuttle Discovery in case the Atlantis crew needed rescuing in orbit. This plan may have been made because the UFOs themselves were dangerously close below the Atlantis shuttle, preventing it from leaving orbit or attempting a landing, heightening the risk of a collision. The Discovery would have raced to be launched with a skeleton crew. It would have rendezvoused with Atlantis, orbiting as close as 50 feet away, each shuttle’s open payload bays facing one another at a 90-degree angle. A rope tied to an astronaut would carry two spacesuits to the Atlantis, allowing them to escort them two at a time back to Discovery. Then once empty, the Atlantis would have been sent plummeting into the ocean by remote control. Fortunately this didn’t happen.
Wayne Hale, the NASA space shuttle program manager stated, “The question is what is it? Is it something benign? Or is it something more critical we should pay attention to?” Then Mr. Hale continued. “We want to make sure we’re safe before committing to that critical journey through the atmosphere.”
Astronauts aboard the shuttle Atlantis took numerous photos and video of the UFOs and described it (still referring to the many UFOs as one) to Mission Control. “It’s fairly small…it was departing away from us, maybe one or two feet per second,” Jett announced over the radio. “It wasn’t rising or falling…it was definitely moving away fairly quickly.”
Mission control saw the UFO the size of which would not be disclosed by NASA, with a video camera in the shuttle’s cargo bay. The object, which circled the Earth in the same orbit as the shuttle several times, was in a circular-shaped metallic ball, yet CNN video shows the object to be a rectangle shaped brownish object that seems to rotate end over end as it moves across the sky with the clouds below it. This discrepancy of the actual object seems baffling, yet perhaps the object has the ability to change its shape as some UFO’s have been said to do, but the most likely solution is that the small metallic balls came from the long brown object and were probes of some sort, scanning, taking readings and such.
NASA Mission Control communicated through a digital downlink to the shuttle Atlantis. They spoke about the UFO’s they saw from the payload by camera. In this conversation, they used code words like rings and reflections and foil so that they don’t cause anyone to panic who happened to overhear their conversation, like ham radio operators:
Mission Control: “Do you see the digital downlink?” (Video of four metallic orbs moving along side the shuttle).
Atlantis Astronaut: “Uh…We do see that.”
Mission Control: “Okay. That’s uh, looking out in front of the orbiter.”
Atlantis Astronaut: “Okay, we are seeing three or four objects. Can you confirm that it’s just the one moving? That the other ones are just reflections?”
Mission Control: “No, there are, there are three objects. The one you see, you see two rings right there. They are the ones that we got the late tally-ho on. Uh, the one down at the bottom, that’s the one we initially saw that appeared to be foil. So we got two rings and a piece of foil. The piece of foil seem to be further in front with the grounding strap on it. It seems to be further in front of the other two, and the other two seem about the same equal distance from both us and the forward one.”
Atlantis Astronaut: “Copy that.”
In the next conversation between an Atlantis astronaut and Mission Control, you will see that the astronaut is concerned over the distance of one of the UFO’s and if he had the distance of the object, then he and everyone else on Earth could easily calculate the exact size of UFO’s using the video from the shuttle. If the exact size were larger than that which would fit into the cargo payload, then it would be definite proof that they were UFOs, but mission control handles this curious astronaut well. For instance, if the objects were a quarter a mile away, that would make the objects much larger than the shuttle itself.
Atlantis Astronaut: “Yeah, I’m just wondering. How close we are to the trajectory foam by the Soyuz.” (He was referring to the long brown-red UFO he saw out his window as the trajectory foam.)
Mission Control: “Yeah, we’re asking.” (Long pause). “We’re going to check on that, but, uh, while we are waiting for that, uh, we were thinking based on our daylight and KU availability, if we can get back to the OBS inspection and maybe use the still cameras to photograph these objects.”
Atlantis Astronaut: “Yeah, we understand. We’re getting back to OBS.” (The astronaut sounded embarrassed).
Mission Control: “Thanks!” (Said in a higher tone, as if he was relieved from the stress the astronaut gave him).
The mission management team had ruled out that something hit the shuttle as it was in orbit. The NASA engineers believed the sensors that indicated “hits” were reacting to the forward control system maneuver, which is part of the preparation for landing. If the sensor alarm for “hits” against the shuttle did sound, and this UFO was in synchronous orbit with the shuttle, it can be concluded that the UFO came in contact with and actually touched against the shuttle Atlantis at least one or more times. If these small gray metal balls were probes, then they might have placed objects on the shuttle to keep track of its location, or getting closer scans of its inhabitants. It may have been these “hits” of the UFOs bumping the Shuttle Atlantis that may have caused NASA to panic into thinking it may have to send up the other shuttle to rescue them.
“It’s something that we didn’t expect, but it’s something that we’re taking a real close look at,” stated one NASA engineer. NASA then ordered the Atlantis to keep its cameras running all night instead of stowing them ahead of the planned landing attempt as they usually do. This shows their fear of the UFOs and how worried NASA is for the astronauts on the shuttle. For NASA to not be prepared for a contingency can mean only one thing, alien interaction, because NASA has a contingency plan for every possible scenario, but alien interaction is the one that they would be most surprised and confused by.
The Shuttle Atlantis even had a rare conference call with two other spacecraft also currently in orbit. This conversation seems to make light humor of the UFO’s that were following the Shuttle Atlantis.
“It’s a little crowded in the sky this morning,” said Jeff Williams who is a crew member on the international space station that the shuttle undocked from on Sunday after the Atlantis delivered a solar panel addition.
“We were wondering if we had to hire some more air traffic controllers for the increased traffic up here,” answered Michael Lopez-Alegria from the Russian Soyuz space capsule that was launched from Kazakhstan earlier on Monday. NOTE: The above image is real from the Atlantis shuttles camera.
On board an RB-47H aircraft equipped with sophisticated electronic countermeasures equipment, over the Gulf of Mexico.
The crew consisted of: Lewis D. Chase, pilot, Spokane, WA James H. McCoid, copilot, Offutt AFB Thomas H. Hanley, navigator, Vandenberg AFB John J. Provenzano, No. 1 monitor, Wichita, KS Frank B. McClure, No. 2 monitor, Offutt AFB Walter A. Tuchscherer, No. 3 monitor, Topeka, KS
These six men were on a training/test exercise in an RB-47H electronic countermeasures reconnaissance aircraft. The RB-47, while originally developed as a bomber, was also used extensively as a reconnaissance aircraft. One was shot down by the Soviet Union while on such a mission in 1960.
This particular mission began at Forbes AFB in Topeka, Kansas as an exercise including gunnery exercises over the Texas-Gulf area, navigation exercises over the open Gulf, and Electronic Countermeasure’s exercises on the return trip across the south-central U.S.
The men participating were soon to depart for Germany and duty there. It should be noted that the ECM equipment was not radar. It did not emit a signal and then pick up reflected echoes off of an object. Rather, it detected electromagnetic signals that were actually emitted by an object itself. The purpose of this was to detect and locate enemy radar installations. On this aircraft, the #2 monitor consisted of a direction finder with antenna on the lower rear of the aircraft, and the #1 monitor consisted of a direction finder with antennas on each wingtip of the aircraft. The #3 monitor was not involved in the events of July 17, because its range did not include the frequencies involved. The first contact with the unknown object was before 4:00 AM CST. The first two parts of the mission had been completed, and the aircraft was just leaving the airspace over the Gulf of Mexico near Gulfport, Mississippi, when Frank McClure, on the #2 ECM monitor, detected an airborne signal to the right rear of the aircraft, out over the Gulf of Mexico.
The signal was of a type usually confined to ground-based radar installations. It was at 2800 megacycles, a common frequency for S-band search radar. McClure at first thought that his scope must be 180° out of alignment and that he must be picking up a ground-based radar station in Louisiana, which would actually be to the left front of the aircraft. As he watched, the signal moved up the scope, as it would if the scope was 180° out of alignment. However, he was amazed to see that, after it had moved up the scope on the right-hand side of the aircraft, it then crossed the path of the RB-47 and proceeded to move down the scope on the left-hand side. In other words, whatever was emitting the signal flew a ring around the RB-47, which was flying at approximately 500 mph. Even if the scope was 180° out of alignment, the signal source still moved completely around the aircraft, which no ground radar could do. McClure said and did nothing at this time, not mentioning the signal to the other crew members. The signal faded as they flew north.
The RB-47 made a scheduled turn to the west over Jackson, Mississippi and the crew was preparing to begin a series of simulated ECM operations against Air Force ground radar units, when suddenly the pilot, Lewis Chase, saw a light coming in from the left, at approximately the same altitude as the RB-47. At first he thought it was another plane, but it was only a single white light, closing fast. He gave the command to prepare for evasive maneuvers, but the light flashed across from left to right so fast that no such action could have been taken. It then blinked out at a point to the right front of the aircraft. Both Chase and Copilot James McCoid observed this. At this point, approximately 4:10 AM CST, they were approximately over Winnsboro, Louisiana.
Chase told the other crewmembers what he had seen, and McClure now told him about his earlier signal reading. At 4:30 AM, McClure set his scope to detect signals near 3000 mcs again, and he detected a strong signal at the same location in relation to the RB-47 that Chase had last seen the light. He and Provenzano checked the alignment of the #2 monitor by tuning in on known ground radar installations and found it to be in perfect working order. At 4:30 AM, Provenzano tuned his own monitor, #1, to 3000 mcs, and found that his equipment detected a signal at the same location. What’s more, he and McClure found that the signal was staying in the same position, keeping pace with the RB-47, which was still flying at 500 mph. This meant that it was not a signal from a ground-based radar.
The Unknown Companion
By this time they had reached the Duncanville, Texas area. At 4:39, Chase spotted a huge light to the right front of the RB-47 an about 5,000 feet below the aircraft’s 34,500 feet altitude. The weather was perfectly clear. At 4:40, McClure reported two signals, at 40° and 70°. Chase and McCoid reported seeing red lights at those locations. Chase contacted radar Station Utah at Duncanville, Texas and requested permission to abandon his flight plan and pursue the lights, which he received. At 4:48 AM, radar station Utah requested the position of the signals that McClure was receiving, and they immediately confirmed that their radar had detected the objects at the same location. As the RB-47 attempted to pursue, the object appeared to stop suddenly. Chase could see that they were gaining on it, and they over shot it.
At 4:52 it blinked out, and simultaneously vanished from McClure’s scope and the ground radar! Chase put the aircraft into a port turn, and the object suddenly blinked on again, simultaneously reappearing on McClure’s scope and the ground radar at 4:52! They began to close to within 5 miles of the object, when it suddenly dropped to 15,000 feet and then blinked out again, once again vanishing from the scopes and ground radar. At 4:55, Chase radioed Utah radar station that they had to break of pursuit and continue with their scheduled flight plan due to low fuel. At 4:57 McClure picked up the signal again, and at 4:58 Chase made visual contact again. As they headed into Oklahoma, McClure continued to receive a signal, now from the rear of the aircraft, until it finally faded as they neared Oklahoma City. The Director of Intelligence, 55th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing, stated in his report that he had: …no doubt the electronic D/F’s coincided exactly with visual observations by aircraft cmdr numerous times, thus indicating positively the object being the signal source.
What can be detected on ECM direction finding devices, can be seen visually, and can be detected on ordinary ground-based radar all at the same time? What can be detected by all the sensors and can also fly rings around a jet travelling at 500 mph?
Project Bluebook said that the sightings in Dallas – Fort Worth area were an ordinary jet airliner. They couldn’t explain the abrupt, simultaneous disappearance and reappearance of the object from radar screens, ECM scopes, and visual detection. They also couldn’t explain the events that occurred over Mississippi and Louisiana. It’s odd that the Utah radar station couldn’t tell an airliner from an unknown. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
KENS NOTE: Project Blue Book was still debunking all UFO sightings at this time. It was their job to keep the truth from the people.
My daughter and I were laying on a hammock watching the sun set at my childhood home where I’ve watched the sun set and stars rise for over 30 years. My daughter said “look mom it’s the first star!” And before even looking I was like “no, it’s too early for the stars to come out.” I poked up and saw what she was talking about – a very bright, unmoving reddish orb about 20 degrees north of where the sun was setting. I asked aloud “could it be mars?” But I knew that wouldn’t be out until later too, and at a much higher degree in the sky (I’ve always loved tracking the stars, so I know generally what’s where any time and place from home). We were both watching it when it zoomed off straight up into the sky, faster than any airplane I’ve ever seen move on that same horizon. I didn’t get a photo of the orb (the whole ‘what is that?” moment lasted Less than 30 seconds). The photos attached show the aftermath of the trail of whatever it was, showing how the trail dissipated over the next 10 minutes or so.
