1947, is the year that UFO was first
seen around Mount Rainer by a Private pilot Kenneth Arnold. He claims that he
saw a 'saucer' like shape flying in high speed. Thus the nickname 'Flying
saucers' was given as well as the 'UFO' which stand for 'Unidentified Flying
Object'.
1. The Roswell Incident
In July 1947, a breaking news
about an unidentified object crashed around Roswell, New Mexico had
created a lot of controversy. It was claim that the parcel of
the saucers are recovered by the U.S Military, and the
corpse of the aliens were autopsied by their doctor.
In 1970, the public started to show
interest of the issue, thus forcing the military to make a statement saying
that it is not a UFO and telling the public that it is a actually an
high-altitude surveillance balloon belonging to a classified program
named "Mogul".
2. Landrum Incident
In December 1980, Vicky Landrum
and Colby Landrum was driving home to their hometown Dayton, Texas, along the
the way they encountered a bright flashing object.
They stopped the car and approach the
diamond like object before they were hit by a blast of heat. The object then
vanished leaving them suffering from severe radiations
burns, nausea and diarrhoea, and they claims that they will
suffer from the same symptoms on the same that every year.
3. The Kecksburg UFO Incident
Very similar to the
Roswell incident, Kecksburg, Pennsylvania in 1965 was the apparent location of
a spectacular UFO crash. Subsequently there was a cover-up of this. In December
that year there were sightings of a fireball that streaked across the sky over
Michigan and northern Ohio.
Sonic booms could then be heard around
Pennsylvania, which resulted in the object scattering hot debris that caused
grass fires, before finally crashing in the woods. What was found is pictured:
an acorn-shaped object that was the size of a Volkswagen Beetle and reportedly
had what looked like Egyptian hieroglyphics around its midsection. The U.S.
army soon showed up, took the thing away and remained tight-lipped over the
whole incident.
4. The Rendlesham Forest Incident
In 1980 Britain
experienced its own story of a UFO sighting. U.S. Air Force personnel R.A.F
Woodbridge borders Rendlesham Forest and servicemen were ordered to investigate
a crash landing. It was 3am in December when the servicemen came across a small
alien spacecraft parked in a clearing.
They later described it as triangular
shaped, sat on three legs and glowed brightly in the dark. They left the
mysterious looking spacecraft and returned when the sun came up hours later
with more men from their base. By this time though the spacecraft had gone
leaving behind scorch marks and three depressions in the ground where the alien
craft had stood.
5. Varginha UFO Incident
A remarkable incident
that occurred in Brazil in 1996. Opinions remain divided on whether this was a
media-led hoax or genuine stuff but at the time several eye-witnesses and home
movies came forward. UFO’s had been seen in the sky followed shortly by
sightings of strange creatures roaming the streets. One such alien creature was
shot dead by military officers and removed in a sack, while another was spotted
by three young girls. They described it as “1.6 metres (5 ft), with a
large head and very thin body, with V-shaped feet, brown skin, and large red
eyes. It seemed to be wobbly or unsteady, and the girls assumed it was injured
or sick.
The creature was said to have a strong, unpleasant odor”. The corpse
of a strange creature was found two days later. n autopsy is believed to have
been carried out in a secure laboratory at Sao Paulo University before both
creatures were flown to the U.S in an unmarked airplane. A soldier who was
involved in the capture of one of the creatures then died weeks later of an
unknown bacterial infection.
6. The Belgian UFO Wave
A large number of UFO
sightings occurred in Belgium between the winter of 1989 to the spring of 1990.
Most eyewitnesses spotted triangular shaped objects flying through the sky.
When the Belgian Air Force became involved things began to get serious. On March
30th 1990 over 13,500 people reported seeing UFOs. The Belgian Air Force
tracked the UFOs down and the F-16s attempted to intercept the UFOs nine times.
Three times they had their weapons locked on the objects but could not fire
because they moved so rapidly, changing course and speed with ease. They gave
chase for an hour before eventually losing them. No more eyewitness reportings
were made after this date.
7. The Battle of Los Angeles
Coming a full five
years before Roswell Los Angeles was in the news over a mysterious air battle,
despite the fact that Pearl Harbour had been attacked just three months
earlier. It was February 1942 when unidentified flying objects were sighted
flying over L.A. Believing them to be Japanese aircraft the U.S. army fired an
incredible 1,400 anti-aircraft shells into the sky. Six civilians lost their
lives; three from “friendly” fire and three from heart attacks. It was never
explained what the mysterious flying objects were but the U.S. army put the
incident down to ‘war nerves’.
8. The Colares UFO flap
The Brazilian island of Colares had
an outbreak of UFO sightings in 1977. During these sightings those the
witnesses, much like the Cash-Landrum incident, suffered injuries that included
burn marks and puncture wounds. These were caused by intense beams of
radiation.
At the time Dr Wellaide Carvalho treated thirty-five patients whom
she diagnosed with radiation poisoning. The victims suffered fatigue,
dizziness, headaches, low blood pressure, and anemia, as well as permanent hair
loss in the areas where the skin had been burnt.
9. The Phoenix Lights
What began with a sighting in
Henderson, Nevada where a man reported seeing a large ‘V’-shaped craft with six
lights on its underside pass overhead spread into different towns of Arizona
and finally in Phoenix. Every one who saw the flying object described it in the
exact same way. The UFO seemed to settle in Phoenix (hence the name of the
incident) hovering over the city for around two hours. Hundreds of people
witnessed the strange thing in the sky that night of March 13th 1997. The U.S.
military insist that the lights were nothing more than flares launched from an
A-10 Warthog aircraft. However, they are not fooling the residents of Phoenix
who believe otherwise. Even Fife Symington who was the Governor of Arizona at
the time believes otherwise.
10. Chupacabra
Around April 2000 Chile was surrounded by
paranormal activity. There were several UFO sightings, including one case which
saw police chase after a set of strange lights believing them to be signals
from a secret landing strip. All they found though was a weird triangular burn
mark on the ground. At the same time as the sightings there were also reports
of unexplainable howls in the nights and the slaying of at least 30 animals
(pigs, dogs and ducks) all killed in the same way – completely drained of
blood. These were put down to the legendary Chupacabra or ‘Goatsucker’. Is the
chupacabra an alien creature surviving in Chile or a new breed of genetically
mutated animal?
