The Best Documented UFO Cases
By Billy Booth
Occurring during the "Great Airship" wave of
the late 1800s, the legend of a UFO crash and a dead alien have survived over a
century of debate. Allegedly, the dead alien pilot is buried in the local
cemetery. The story of the crash was related by local newspapers, the UPI, and
AP. The city received "historical site" status because of the
incident.
Brought to
public knowledge by UFO
investigator Leo Stringfield, from an account by Charlette Mann. Mann related the story
of her grandfather Reverend William Huffman, who claimed to have been called to
the scene of a crashed UFO with dead aliens in Missouri.
Shortly after
the Japanese invaded Pearl Harbor, the city of Los Angeles was invaded by a flying object of unknown origin.
U.S. military sent volley after volley of shells at the alleged flying saucer
without damaging the intruder. Six people were killed during the attacks.
While searching
for a missing troop transport near Yakima, Washington, pilot Kenneth Arnold got
the surprise of his life. He spotted nine discs flying in formation. After he
landed, a news conference was held in which Arnold called the unknowns flying
saucers, the first time the phrase was used.
The most famous UFO case of all occurred
near Corona, Mexico. Rancher Mac Brazel found strange crash debris on his
morning rounds, and reported his find to local radio station. Soon, the
military from Roswell AFB was involved, and issued a press statement that the Air
Force had captured a UFO. This statement was soon recanted.
Kentucky Air
National Guard Captain Thomas Mantell was piloting his F-51, when he received
radio orders to check out a large, metallic disc which had been reported by
citizens of the area, and clearly seen from the tower of Godman Air Force Base.
After reporting that he was in pursuit of the object, radio contact was lost,
and his plane soon crashed to the ground, killing Mantell.
Captain Clarence
S. Chiles, and co-pilot John B. Whitted were piloting an Eastern Airlines DC-3,
when their plane was approached by huge cigar-shaped UFO. The object barely
missed colliding with the DC-3. The two men made one of the very first reports of a UFO bycommercial airline pilots.
In the skies
above Fargo, North Dakota on October 1, 1948, Lieutenant George F. Gorman of the North Dakota Air
National Guard had an experience he would never forget, a 27-minute dogfight
with a UFO
In 1949, a
series of 10 visual sightings of UFOs occurred in or near Norwood, Ohio. UFOs
were sighted by policemen, ministers, newspaper reporters and more. Also, still photographs and motion picture film were
taken.
Several glowing unknown objects appear over the
Bentwaters-Woodbridge AFB. Military police investigate the objects. They see
objects moving through the forest. One triangle UFO is seen on the ground. One
officer actually touches the outside of the UFO, before it slowly moves away
through the forest.
An extremely compelling UFO sighting was an event
which took place in the Piney Woods of Texas, near the town of Huffman. On the
chilly night of December 29, 1980, two women and one child encountered a craft
of unknown origin, and all three suffered not only emotional trauma, but severe
physical injury as well.
South American Dr. Enrique Botta would have a close
encounter of the third kind when he entered a UFO sitting on the side of the
road. Inside the craft, the ex-pilot found three dead aliens, and even touched
one. When he went for help, by the time he returned, the object was gone.
A group of Texas Tech professors saw numerous groups
of racing lights one night. The sighting was reported, and the local Air Force
denied that any planes were flying that night. 18-year old Carl Hart Jr would
take five photographs of the fast moving objects, which would become known as
the Lubbock Lights.
UFOs buzzed the
White House, the Capitol building, and the Pentagon. Seemingly the unknown
objects were defying the very governmental agencies sworn to protect the United
States from foreign powers. Washington National Airport and Andrews Air Force
Base picked up a number of UFOs on their radar screens on July 19, 1952, beginning a wave of sightings
still unexplained to this day. Numerous photographs were taken of the unknown
objects.
Flying a Scorpion plane, Pilot Felix Moncla is lost
while chasing a UFO over Lake Superior. The Air Force claims that the plane
crashed, but no debris was ever found, and two radar blips merged into one
before disappearing.
George Gatay, who was foreman of an eight-man
construction crew, was unexpectedly drawn away from his crew, feeling a sense
of "peculiar drowsiness." A short distance from his construction
site, Gatay was amazed to encounter a man standing on a slope, some 30 feet
from him. The "man" was wearing an opaque glass helmet with a large
visor. He was wearing gray coveralls, and short boots. He also held an object
in his hand, which Gatay described as a weapon of some kind, like a rod. The
humanoid was near a UFO.
One of the most bizarre accounts of alien contact on
record. The Sutton family farmhouse was under siege from small alien beings for
several hours one night. Family members shot at the beings, but without effect.
The beings has claw-like hands, and large ears. This account has never been
debunked.
No less than 8
official sightings, including policemen, would
highlight a night of terror in a small Texas town. UFOs were flying, hovering,
and even landing on the roads around Levelland. One of the best documented
cases in UFO history.
Father William
Gill, Anglican priest, would relate a series of remarkable sightings above his
church. UFOs with occupants in the clouds who waved back at witnesses highlight
this case. Called "one of the best" documented cases of a close
encounter of the second kind by J. Allen Hynek.
The best known case of alien abduction. While driving home from vacation, Betty and husband
Barney Hill would lose two hours of time during an alien encounter. They would
undergo physical exams at the hands of their alien captors. This case was the
subject of a book and a movie.
Policeman Lonnie
Zamora would see an unusual object landed in the desert of New Mexico while
racing to what he thought was an explosion. Two occupants of the craft were
visible. Zamora could make out an insignia on the front of the craft before it
flew away. Investigated by Dr. J.
Allen Hynek.
A series of UFO
sightings took place which gained vast media attention, and became the subject of the
book, "Incident at Exeter," by John G. Fuller. The sensational
happenings were also featured in a two-part article in "Look"
magazine. Many eyewitness accounts by respected community members make this one
of the best
cases.
What exactly soared through the late afternoon skies
of Canada, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania on December 5, 1965? Eye witnesses
described the unknown object as a "fireball," but it seemed to be
under some type of intelligent control, as it veered somewhat in Ohio toward
the Quaker State. The fiery object crashed into a wooded area near Westmoreland
County.
While
prospecting for silver near Falcon Lake, Steven Michalak was astonished to see several strange objects in the sky.
One hovered, and then landed. Michalak ventured close enough to touch the
landed craft, and look inside. He was subsequently burned on the chest by an
exhaust vent.
Eyewitnesses see several unknown objects in the sky,
and soon they crash into the sea. Rescue workers, fearing a plane crash, rush
to the area, only to find bright, yellow foam on the ocean. Several days of search
find nothing. Investigators believe the object, still intact, has left the
area.
Sixteen year old
Ron Johnson was tending the family sheep when his attention was suddenly drawn
to a mushroom-shaped UFO appearing in the night sky. The flying object, metallic with multi-colored lights, was hovering approximately 75 feet
away from Ron among some trees. After the craft's disappearance, a strange,
glowing ring was found where the object landed. This ring persisted for several years.
The strange case
of nineteen-year-old Calvin Parker, and forty-two-year-old Charles Hickson
actually began a day before their famous encounter. On October 10, 1973,
fifteen different people, including two policemen, reported seeing a large, silver
UFO slowly fly over a housing project in St. Tammany Parish, New Orleans,
Louisiana. Only a scant 24 hours later, Hickson and Parker would have the scare
of their lives; a frightening encounter with an eerie
UFO, and occupants.
While working on
a government land clearing project with six other crew members, Travis Walton
approaches a glowing UFO. He is hit with a blue green beam. The crew members
run from the scene, thinking Travis is dead. Five days later he reappears, not
having eaten during his absence. He relates that he was taken aboard a UFO, and
experimented on byalien beings.
An unknown object is observed over the Loring
strategic air base, approaching the nuclear storage facility and causing a
Stage 3 alert. At one point, the object hovered in midair over the base runway.
The UFO was never identified.
Three well
respected women are driving home after dinner when they see an unknown object
in the sky. The next thing they remember is losing control of their car, and
being backed into a field. Investigation and regressive hypnosis tell a tale of alien abduction, complete with embarrassing medical procedures. One
of the best documented cases of alien abduction.
The Iranian UFO
chase is one of the premier UFO encounters in the history
of the subject. A highly advanced vehicle, performing well beyond present-day
capabilities, created fits for the American-equipped Iranian Air Force.
Blackouts of the missile firing control panel, just before the pilot was about
to launch his air-to-air missile, could be attributed to a mechanical fault
seems beyond what sheer odds would allow.
While night
fishing on the Allagash Waterway, four art student friends see a glowing object
over the lake. The next thing they can remember is being back on shore, and
missing time. Subsequent investigation will reveal an alien abduction complete with
physical experimentation.
The Brazilian island of Colares would be invaded by
UFOs of all shapes and sizes in 1977. The UFOs target citizens with an intense
beam of light, knocking many to the ground. These individuals were rendered
unconcious and awoke with anemia. The Air Force investigates and takes 5 hours
of film, and many photographs, without giving an explanation.
Boats and
aircraft found no trace of a 20-year old Australian pilot who disappeared with
his plane after radioing that he was being chased by a UFO. Frederick Valentich
was on a 125 mile training flight in his single engine Cessna 182 along the
coast of Bass Strait when he told air traffic controllers in Melbourne that he
was being buzzed by a UFO.
A man's attention is attracted by a slight noise, a
sort of faint whistling. He sees a device in the air at the height of a big
pine tree at the edge of the property. The device was coming lower toward the
ground. He clearly sees the device resting on the ground. Right away it lifted
off, still emitting a slight whistling sound. Reaching a point above the trees,
it left at high speed toward the forest of Trans.
The Hudson
Valley UFO account is made up of many sightings, all similar, and all pointing
to one conclusion. There was something "unexplained" going on only an
hour's drive north of New York City. The UFO lights were a brilliant red, green, and white. What was thestrange
craft? This would be the question that many would try to answer.
A series of UFO
sightings beginning in 1987 would make the small town of Gulf Breeze, Florida a UFO hot
spot for years to come. Ed Walter's unusually clear photographs would start the
ball rolling. UFO investigators from all over the world would descend on this
peaceful community to try to solve the mystery of the Gulf Breeze UFOs.
In 1988, the
United States Coast Guard has aclose encounter. They receive report of a large UFO hovering over the frozen Lake Erie. After a close observation, they see the object
nearly on the ice, with smaller triangle UFOs coming to and fro around the large UFO. A true,unsolved mystery.
One of the most
profound and well documented UFO waves. All of the reports related a large object flying at low altitude. The
craft was of a flat, triangular shape, with lights underneath. This giant craft
made not a sound as it slowly moved across the landscape of Belgium. There was
free sharing of information as the Belgian populace tracked this craft as it
moved from the town of Liege to the border of the Netherlands and Germany.
A cigar-shaped object with a row of brightly flashing
lights along its length was observed over the Texas panhandle by the crew of a
westward bound America West B-757 airliner on May 25, 1995. The case was
thoroughly investigated by Walter N. Webb on behalf of the UFO Research
Coalition, who interviewed the crew and air traffic controllers. Webb also
obtained a copy of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) voice tapes of
conversations between airplane and ground during the sighting.
Like a scene
from a science fiction movie, a huge, circular object slowly moved
over the city of Phoenix and surrounding areas. Numerous photographs, and an
abundance of video film make this one of the best documented cases in UFO history. Numerous eye witness accounts describe a large, slow moving triangular
shaped UFO.
An extraordinary video film taken by Mexican military
pilots stunned the world. According to Mexican officials, the encounter
occurred on March 5, when an aircraft belonging to the Mexican Air Force, a
Merlin C26/A, was engaged in drug interdiction patrols. At around 17:00 hours
it detected the presence of 11 objects following it. The routine flight took
place between Copalar, Chiapas and the State of Campeche.
On November 7,
2006, one of the nation's busiest airports, O'Hare in Chicago was visited by a
UFO which blasted an "eerie" hole in the cloud cover. The UFO was
seen for several minutes, according to eyewitness accounts of United
Airlines employees.
