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 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.

I am now 54 years old. This event happened in 1975 sometime in November before Thanksgiving. I had just gone to bed and was drifting off to sleep and awoke with an uneasiness went to the restroom. A feeling of uneasiness that I couldn’t put my finger on soon was validated as I saw something appear in the room with me. I was frozen in fear and was gone before I could scream. What happened after is all flashes. I’m hysterical telling those that took me who are you, leave me alone why are you doing this. I want to go home and Mommy where’s my mommy. There was no answer but flashes of different things near my body and it seemed I passed out. Recalling this event right now still contains the overwhelming intensity of emotions…pure terror. The next memory was of being lowered down in a light onto the ground. I could see but not move for a while. The light that I came down in disappeared and then gone I remained frozen in position the same position I came down face down on the dew soaked grass.
Once I could move I jumped up and ran to our back door and began pounding on it screaming mommy. She opened the door and what are you doing outside? I was shaking, in shock and told her everything she told me I must have had a nightmare and was sleepwalking…and to go back to bed. It just before dawn and my bedtime was early around 8:30 9pm. I couldn’t go back to sleep and just went in my bedroom, my head spinning with the flashes of what had just happened. It took a long time for me to calm down. So many questions filled my mind.. If I was sleepwalking how could I lock the door behind me? There was a chain way above my reach. Later that morning my mom called grandma and told her about it and that she needed to put a additional locks on the doors because Julie started sleepwalking. I have talked with her about this and she said that I’ve always talked in my sleep and that so many things have happened she didn’t recall this event.
As we spoke, I pointed at the topmost lock on the door saying it was just before you put this on the door. She said she had forgotten so many things because being a single mother she had so many things going on all the time. It would be easier if I could think it was a bad dream and I was sleep walking. But I can’t stop thinking and wondering about this event. I have never walked in my sleep before or since. How did I lock the door behind me? What did they want? Why me? If they could take me from my room in the blink of an eye, why didn’t they just put me back that same way? When ufo/alien movies came out I refused to watch them. Only bits-n-pieces here and there. I don’t know if I’ll ever get the answers to these questions but would like to understand. NOTE: The above image is CGI.

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 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.
I received a call from my contact in Blind River and she reported the following incident: On March 24, a woman from Algoma Mills (7 miles from Blind River) had a close encounter while driving towards Blind River, where she was going to pick up her daughter at the local Tim Horton’s Donut Shop. The time was approximately 11:20 p.m. When she got within a half-mile from Blind River, she saw an object lifting off from behind some trees at an RV trailer lot, near the shores of Lake Huron.She described it as cigar-shaped and red and white in colour. The object was ìs long as one treeline to the other (wider than the highway). When she saw it lift up above the treeline, she pulled right over so that she could get out and watch. But when the object started coming over the highway, she decided to stay in the car. She sat there and watched as it came right over her car which, at that point, began to vibrate. That’s when she hit the gas, she said, because ‘she just wanted to get out of there.’ At that moment, that’s when it (the object) took off in a split second. It went right over the nearby hospital and was gone. Two nights prior, on Monday, March 22, in the early hours of the morning, she said she woke up and heard a loud hum in her house. She went running to her daughter’s room, woke her up, and both were in a panic-state. She said she kind of knew what it was, but didn’t want to go outside and look. Then the hum went away. — On Thursday, April 15, two women from Ironbridge (12 miles west of Blind River) were going for a walk at about 10:00 p.m. when they reportedly saw a bright, bright light in the bush. They didn’t want to stay any longer. They got scared because it was ‘too…too bright for a normal light.’ They just took off out of there. One of them said she’ll go back to investigate the area, but the other lady is too scared to go. More detail forthcoming…hopefully soon. P.S. Other happenings concerning a boy who sketched what he saw will be forthcoming. My contact is keeping notes, as I am, about all this stuff. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
In 1969, the weekend before Labor Day (at around 8:30 PM), I was with my friend “Butch” Scully on the Garden State Parkway (driving north near the Raritan exit). We were heading home from the New Jersey Shore, when I noticed something odd. Between two electrical towers, to my right, was something that, at first, looked like an extension of the towers. Passing by, I told Butch to turnaround and come back to the sighting to get a better look. We did so after going about 1/3 mile up the road. To our amazement, we arrived at the site and witnessed a huge, silent, hovering “platform” for lack of a better description. Leaving the car, we approached the object at a clearing where it was lingering about 75-100 feet above the ground. We could see it was in the shape of a triangle with red, green, amber and white lights around its perimeter. It was about 150 feet across, 10 feet in height. It had a cross beam supporting structure (similar to what you see on a bridge). A translucent dome was atop with an antenna-like appendage protruding from the dome.
Standing underneath it, we could see a formation/series of “pipes”. In the center was a concave, circular indentation. The sun had just gone down and suddenly the object cast a milky, white light from its indentation to the ground, lighting up the area underneath. Just then we noticed several cars had parked along the highway. A man came to where we stood. He asked me what was the thing. I said I did not know. The three of us were stunned as I commented that it was so close I could hit it with a rock (which I did not of course). After a few minutes, Butch and I decided to report it to the N.J. State Police a few miles north up the road. When we got to the police station, we told the officer what we saw. He said that they had already dispatched a patrol car to the incident (obviously they had already received similar reports). We left the station. Returning to the site, the craft was gone. The man who came up to us said that it slowly departed heading east towards the ocean. Butch and I decided to drive back home, not saying a word until we arrived at our destinations. I learned some weeks later that there was a Naval research center not far from the incident. What I have described is real, not a dream, blimp, drone, hallucination or flight of fancy. I am now 75 years old and would love an explanation after all these years. NOTE: The above image is CGI.

Dr. Michael Salla, who specializes in exposing secret space programs through his EXOPOLITICS TODAY podcasts and books, has reported the following about a secret January 7, 2023 meeting with ETs at an underground facility in the Blue Ridge Mountains. “On JANUARY 7, 2023, an alleged meeting occurred at a secret underground military facility in the Blue Ridge Mountains to discuss an extraterrestrial disclosure plan developed by an Earth Alliance of military leaders and the Galactic Federation of Worlds. Dr. Michael Salla Possible supporting evidence. We have no way of knowing if such a meeting actually occurred, but the following email we received on JANUARY 6, 2023 from a U.S. Air force veteran might give support for the claim that there was such a meeting. The veteran saw a massive UFO flying low over the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which is in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the day before the alleged intergalactic meeting.
I saw something very strange today. About 3:30 in the afternoon, clear blue skies, enjoying the ride, I was returning from Gatlinburg on 441 through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and had passed the TN line coming down the mountain when I saw a flash on the left on the ridgeline. “I then saw a massive silver, metallic object between the peaks. It seemed to be moving in the same direction as I was traveling. It disappeared and showed at the next dip in the ridgeline. I heard no sound, saw no lights or windows. I pulled over. I was trying to rationalize what I saw and couldn’t. “I think it was cigar shaped but I did not see the leading edge or trailing edge, only the center mass. I can’t wrap my head around it. I am an Air Force veteran, and have worked the flight line, and nothing about this makes sense. I was curious, frightened and strangely enough very angry afterward. I thought I’d put this out to see if someone else saw it too. ”One more thing In February 2013, a former military man told me about a secret underground military facility being built beneath the Great Smoky Mountain National Park (GSMNP). I immediately began searching for more witnesses and evidence and eventually concluded the GSMNP facility is real. So, the massive UFO seen on January 6, 2023 had to have flown over, or hovered over, that secret facility. My findings about the GSMNP underground facility, along with four others in Western North Carolina, are included in my book “Underground Military Bases Hidden in North Carolina Mountains.”
Hovering above our two car garage off our back yard patio breezeway, our garage was separate from the main house” I saw a large dull grey object hovering it did not have airplane wings or a propeller. It did not have any writing on it. I did notice very tiny windows across the side a little higher than half way up. I wondered if there were people inside. Right after I thought this, I noticed slight movement. Suddenly there were three dark shapes in the window just to the left of my vision. I saw a small dark shaped figure. To the right of this figure was another taller dark shaped figure and to its right was another small dark shaped figure like the first small dark figure I had noticed. I tried to see if the dark shaped figures had a face or hair or clothing. I couldn’t tell. The object was very, very long and big and it was high up about three to four stories high. The windows were very small. Smaller than a large commercial airplane. I was used to flying on airplanes to visit relatives as a child. That is how I can say they were very small windows.
All I could make out was the outline of what looked like shoulders with an outline of a head shape. I looked at all the small windows to see if there were any other small or tall dark shaped figures. There were none. I immediately realized this object was not a blimp. I had seen a blimp before with writing on it. The blimp was a totally different shape. This object was like a long cigar shape it appeared to be a very dull medium grey medal. Not shiny. No words or markings. I wondered why it was so quiet. It simply hovered in one spot. There were no wings or propeller. Nothing but a cigar shaped grey dull metal looking object with tiny windows and three dark strange figures. I covered my eyes to look at this strange cigar shaped metal colored dull grey object better. The sun had starting to go down a little. I noticed how long it was. It covered our two car garage and our driveway and part of our yard off our driveway. It was so long that it covered everything it seemed.
Our garage, the tall trees in our long circular driveway and part of our trees to the right of our driveway. This object was very. very long. That was the moment I suddenly wondered if it could be a real “ufo.” I asked my sis if she thought it was a ufo. She whispered yes quietly. As soon as she replied to my question small lights turned on. They started blinking faster and faster in a steady pattern from my left to my right green, red and white colors. I quickly looked for the dark figures I had seen seconds before in the tiny window to my left. They were gone. Without a sound this object suddenly took off darting in a southwest direction. It moved so fast. I stood in shock. I never saw or heard a sound. No engine noises. Nothing. No smoke. No smell. Nothing. It was barely visible way off in the distance towards my left. My sister yelled get my keys. Frantic, I took off running. I grabbed her VW keys off the kitchen hook and we took off. My sis floored it yelling at the traffic to hurry asking me over and over if I could still see it. I said yes but it very far away getting harder to see.
She said it’s probably flying over the highway ( the highway was nearby route 4.). As we entered the on-ramp traffic stopped. My sis scanned with her visor down for the object. She finally spotted it over the highway way off in the distance. She kept beeping and beeping for the people to move. We were stuck. She finally gave up saying over and over I can’t believe it. I can’t believe it. I saw a ufo . It was a long time before traffic moved. Cars had stopped on both sides of the four lane highway watching the object in the distance. Finally, the object disappeared from sight. When we returned home, my sis told our mom what happened. Our mom thought she was kidding around. I said no she’s not she really saw a ufo.
She was kind of shy. Not one to tell a lie. We both raised Catholic. I was eleven years at time. Our home burned down in 1974. Then we had to move until it was rebuilt. That is why I believe it was 1973 when this happened. My sis was 21 at the time. It was summer cause I wasn’t in school. I must say we had a lot of woods right next to our house. Tons of them. I would play all day in them with friends when I wasn’t in school. We had a tree fort, we sledded in the winter and rode minibikes on trails we made. We never spoke of this event to anyone. I knew no one would believe me. I didn’t want anyone to think me, or my sis were crazy. So, I kept quiet. A few years ago, I called my sis and said do you remember the strange ufo we saw? She got really quiet and spoke. Yes, I do. I said so it really was a ufo? It wasn’t a figment of my imagination. She said no. It was a ufo. You saw it. I saw it. I kind of laughed and said thank God. I was beginning to wonder after forty two years if I had imagined it.
She said again. No, we didn’t. It was real. It even backed up traffic over the highway. The only people that know about this event are my sis almost 71 now retired, my spouse, my kids and now MUFON. I pray someday, somehow mankind will come to understand the unexplainable. I hope sharing my experience will give others the courage to come forward and share theirs without fear. Sadly, it’s taken me a lifetime. * This event took place in the summer of 1973 towards dusk in Paramus. NOTE: The above image is rendering but from another case file.

On December 23, 2023 around 1:00 p.m. I was on an Aeroméxico flight from the city of Hermosillo, Sonora to Mexico City. I was returning from a work assignment and had perhaps flown for an hour, the plane was almost empty, at least where I was. I was in one of the right windows of the plane where I could clearly see the front of the plane’s wing, it was a clear day with blue sky and a few clouds below the plane, you could see a desert floor below. Looking out the window, suddenly a spherical-shaped object enveloped in white smoke and emitting flames, as if burning, came from behind the plane about two-thirds of the way up the right wing from my point of view and stopped suddenly at about a meter in front and above the wing. After hovering over the wing for a few seconds, the object began to move forwards, backwards, down, and up in straight movements of 0, 90, and 180 degrees, always remaining in my view.
His movements showed no acceleration, only speed, and he never made any other types of movements. It seemed to me that they were not random movements, it seemed to be “looking for something” or “watching the plane”. After a few minutes, maybe two or three minutes of moving and hovering, the object returned to its arrival position, on the wing, began to oscillate or vibrate intensely (moving up and down rapidly) and vanished. NOTE: the above image is CGI.
Living up where we do, we are exposed to so much sky. Our house and five-acre yard are clear of trees and face due south, or in the direction of Cashiers. There is a good 180-degree view panning from Double Top Mountain on our east side to Greens Creek towers in the west. The town of Sylva sits below. We see meteors, shooting stars, the hospital’s medical helicopter, space shuttles, satellites, jets and an occasional small plane landing at the Jackson County Airport in Cullowhee. Our view of the night sky is clear and vast.
One particular evening in late summer, my husband’s son and mother were outside on the deck with me eating dinner and relaxing at the table. It was dusk and the sky was clear. Suddenly we saw it. It hovered in the sky to the south-southwest. It seemed to be near the old bald side of Cullowhee Mountain. It was orange, bright orange and triangular in shape. There was a ball of orange light at each corner of the ship. It just stayed there, suspended in the sky for the longest time. We all noticed it, saw it stay in the same spot and thought it odd that it didn’t move away.
We started discussing it, while it continued to suspend in our sight, considering military developments and trial testing of unusual crafts. Wouldn’t it be a good place to practice flying them here in the corner of Western North Carolina with a limited human population – fewer spotters we thought. But the shape and unusual orange color were so different from the red, green or white we were all used to seeing and it just hovered for the longest time. It simply didn’t fit the mold for any type of airship we’d ever seen.
No one counted the time officially, but we all agreed the hovering phase lasted around two minutes. Then all of a sudden, like it knew we were there, it flew straight toward us at such a rapid speed and went directly over the house.
It landed, or appeared to have landed, on the property just up the mountain behind us. We went to the back side of the house to follow it, trying to see through the trees. All we could see was a hugh orange glow in the woods above our home.
Then the phone rang. Two of our friends down the mountain called and said, “Emory, is your house on fire? Are the woods on fire near your house? We see a blaze of orange. It looks like it’s right where you are. Are you okay?”
“We’re fine,” I replied. “We see it, too. We think it’s a spaceship. We’ve been watching it for awhile.”
Crazy, I know, but I got in the car. My brave stepson insisted he was coming with me. Together we drove up the mountain to try to catch sight of we don’t know what – maybe wreckage. But there wasn’t anything. It was gone. No orange glow. No smoke. No smell. No ship. We still don’t know what we saw that night but we all saw it. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
I interviewed a local high school teacher who had thirty minutes of missing time enroute to work. She has a doctorate in a scientific field and is quite perplexed by her experience. She drives to school each morning from the New Jersey shore through portions of the Wharton State Forest on Route 542. Some parts of the trip are in desolate areas of the forest. She reached a forested area near Batsto at 7:00 AM driving at 55 mph without any problems. She entered an area of relatively denser forest and lost any memory of the next 45 minutes of her life. The next eight miles of road is relatively straight with few places to turn or become lost and is an easy ten minute drive. When she came up to the Route 206, intersection, she realized something was wrong and looked at her watch and it was now 7:45 AM. A ten minute drive had unexplainably taken 45 minutes. She had at least 30 minutes of missing time and she was late for work. She contacted the State Police to see if there had been any accidents, UFO reports and the like along this stretch or road. None had been reported that morning. The thirty minutes of missing time remains unexplained. I gave her a MUFON late pass for being late to work. NOTE: The above image is CGI.
It was a disc with the ball on top like the average UFO you see on the internet or whatever. It was half green, half red. It was very loud and fast and spinning around. As it was going it curved down and curved back up and descent into the sky. I have the video. I was just sitting on my back porch already recording when this happened to the left of me.
I am a sky freak so I always have my phone out and I went down the stairs and BAM I could see it like no other and I ran after it to get a better view but it just messed my view up more and I heard something and got scared and ran back to the porch. I could see it better with my eyes then what my phone got but you can see it in the video clear as day. I had to slow it down and screenshot it because it was so fast and wow I got it on camera good!!! It was behind the trees but I got it!
We received this testimony about a triangular ship over Bryson City, NC from Sally Morrissey on July 15, 2010 — two years after her actual sighting. She’s searching for others who may have seen it. Please contact this website if you saw it, too.
We are in Bryson City. In July 2008, we saw a UFO. I had always believed there was probably something else out there because too many credible people have said they have seen things. But it kind of changes your whole life when you actually see it yourself.
When we first saw it, we had gone to town to pick something up at the grocery store and were on our way home. It was dusk. We were on Buckner Branch and not long after crossing the railroad tracks we looked up to our left and saw a HUGE triangular shaped thing hovering in the sky. It made no noise at all even though it was very close to us and low in the sky. It was just above an empty lot that someone had dug out. It’s odd for something that large to be hovering that close and low and totally silent. It terrified us all so much.
We slowed down and watched it for a minute, then just wanted to get out of there since there was no one else around. The road was lonely and we were still a few miles from home. I have never been so afraid in my life. It looked way too big and too low to the ground to be able to just hover in one place. It had lights around it.
We flew home as fast as we could and got inside. Shortly thereafter, I went to Google to try and see if other people had seen it and posted about it. I found other sightings but nothing about this one. I’m sure that someone somewhere must have seen it since it was so large. If you have heard about anyone else seeing this, please let me know.

Over 30 years before the sightings of the 2000s, Simon experienced another strange incident, again while driving. [3] On this occasion, at around 5:20 pm one evening in late October 1978, Simon was driving along a road with his wife, Chloe, near the village of Great Bridgeford.
It was as they were driving down a quiet country road, with trees on one side and fields on the other, that they noticed a strange dark disc-shaped object ahead of them and slightly to the right. It appeared to be at an altitude of no more than 500 feet and was moving relatively slowly, at approximately 15 miles per hour.
To begin with, Simon and Chloe both thought the strange craft was a helicopter. However, when they saw that there were no lights anywhere on it, they quickly dismissed this idea.
They continued on toward the object, noticing more details as they did so. They could see, for example, that there were no markings or writing on the craft, its exterior was a very dark color, and it was approximately 30 feet wide.
Simon looked around to see if anyone else was seeing what he and his wife were. However, despite there being several other cars nearby, these other motorists appeared to be unaware of the object’s presence.
An Attempt To Communicate?
At this point, Simon pulled his car to the side of the road and exited the vehicle. He stood outside the vehicle, keeping his focus on the bizarre disc overhead. Then, it stopped and for the first time he noticed that there was no sound whatsoever coming from it.
Suddenly, a strange ring of multi-colored lights of red, green, blue, and yellow appeared on the underside of the object going all around the edge. From where he was viewing them from below, it appeared as though the lights were rotating, but the more he looked at them the more he could tell that they were, in fact, flashing in a sequence that gave such an appearance.
The UFO remained where it was for around 15 seconds before it began moving once more, still going at the slow and steady pace that it was before, eventually disappearing from sight several minutes later. Although Simon and his wife couldn’t explain it, both had the feeling that the UFO – or the occupants inside it – had stopped purposely directly over the top of them.
Upon reaching home, Simon telephoned a friend who was a member of the British UFO Research Association, Tony, and informed him of the incident. According to Hodrien’s research, however, that report no longer exists anywhere online.
Of further interest, several days later Simon’s brother-in-law would inform him of another sighting almost 90 minutes later in the nearby village of Pershaw. According to what he told him, at around 6:45 pm a local resident witnessed a bright glow moving overhead at a low altitude. Of course, whether there is a connection between this sighting and Simon’s is open to debate.
This is arguably the most intriguing of all of Simon’s UFO encounters, not least due to the alleged interaction between the strange craft (with the flashing lights) and the witnesses. Did Simon just happen to be in the right place at the right time for this encounter, or might we contemplate whether this was more of a purposeful meeting on the part of the occupants of this strange craft?
