  • UFO Sightings: Where Were They Visiting This Year?

    UFO sightings continue to amaze and scare the world. They also have a way of piquing our curiosity. It seems like UFOs seem to prefer certain places to others and some even visit the same areas over and over again.

    This year alone, more than ten UFO incidents made the international news. So where were all of these UFOs spotted?

    In March, a UFO was spotted above the ocean near the Gold Coast in Australia. Two more were spotted in London just a few weeks later. The saucers were spotted back in Australia in May and two were caught on video in New Zealand the same month.

    After that, the little green men took their flying saucers to the moon where several people using the Google Moon Viewer saw a a two-sided, triangular space ship on the surface of the moon.

    The aliens also took an interest in Mars this year. There were several photos of a cigar-shaped spaceship captured by the Curiosity Rover robot.

    If the aliens are looking for a new place to call home, Mars might be the best option for them. Scientists recently announced that they plan to start growing plants on the red planet and even found evidence that water existed on the planet within the last 200,000 years.

    Scientists are still studying the planet and believe that it could someday be home to life again. NASA has already created their own flying saucer that is capable of traveling to Mars and back.

    The saucer is currently being used to bring information back from Mars to Earth but something similar could one day be used to transport humans the same way.

    Have you ever seen a UFO and do you think humans will one day live on Mars?

  • FBI UFO Memo is the Agency’s Most-Requested

    The FBI revealed this week in a blog post that an agency memo referring to “flying saucers” is the most-requested file in the FBI vault.

    The memo is dated March 22, 1950 and was written by the FBI’s Washington, D.C. field office head at the time, Guy Hottel.

    The document is freely available via the FBI records vault. It reads:

    An investigator for the Air Forces stated that three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico. They were described as being circular in shape with raised centers, approximately 50 feet in diameter. Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape but only three feet tall, dressed in metallic cloth of a very fine texture. Each body was bandaged in a manner similar to the blackout suits used by speed fliers and test pilots.

    According to Mr. [REDACTED] informant, the saucers were found in New Mexico due to the fact that the Government has a very high-powered radar set-up in the area and it is believed the radar interferes with the controlling mechanics of the saucers.

    No further evaluation was attempted by SA [REDACTED] concerning the above.

    According to the FBI, the Hottel memo was first released to the public in the 1970s. Though it is often assumed to be connected to the legendary Roswell UFO crash, the memo is dated almost three years after the Roswell incident.

    The agency also stressed that the Hottel memo is not proof of extraterrestrials, in that it refers to a second- or third-hand account that was never investigated further.

  • Declassified Documents Show Air Force Was Working On UFOs

    Everybody loves a good UFO story. The fascination with alien spacecraft has been documented throughout the centuries with stories dating all the way back to 10th-century mentioning the circular flying machines. Flying saucers really took off in popular culture in the 50s, however, and we haven’t looked back.

    It appears that not only filmmakers were obsessed with the flying saucer as recently declassified documents show the Air Force was working on their own UFOs. The National Archives has the scoop on Project 1794. The project was spearheaded by the US Air Force to create a flying saucer that could reach speeds of mach 4. Here’s some concept images of the machine:

    The work on the Air Force’s UFO line was outsourced to a Canadian firm called Avro Aircraft Limited. The fruits of their labor would neve be seen outside the military as the Air Force pulled the plug on the project in 1960. Wired found what appears to be the only video footage available of the flying saucer that the Air Force was working on. Once you watch the video, it becomes immediately apparent as to why the Air Force canceled the project.

    For many years, UFO sightings were attributed to secret aircraft testing by the Air Force. The above video shows that the Air Force and Avro were not able to lift their vehicle more than a few feet off the ground. If anything, these new documents are going to rekindle the debate on flying saucers and the authenticity of various sightings.

  • Drone Mistaken for UFO in Washington, D.C. Causes Panic

    A drone mistaken for a UFO in Washington, D.C. caused a lot of area residents to freak out, prompting several concerned individuals to place calls to 911. What folks witnessed, of course, was an experimental unmanned aircraft being transported on a flatbed truck down I-270. If the government intended to move an unidentified flying object from one destination to another, chances are they wouldn’t cart the thing around for everyone to see.

    Naturally, nobody stopped to consider the reality of the situation. Instead, they did most would expect them to do: jump to ridiculous conclusions. In fact, after reading about the supposed UFO on Twitter — it was apparently trending at the time — a man called 911 in hopes of finding out if everyone was okay. At one point, the concerned citizen asks if the operator can get on Twitter to see the photos people have taken. You can listen to the entire call below.

    The official word coming out of Northrop Grumman is that the terrifying object in question is an X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System, which was on its way to Maryland for testing. Conspiracy theorists will no doubt draw their own conclusions about the aircraft. After all, how else do you explain the vehicle’s peculiar shape?

    “[It’s] a shape that minimizes its refection of potential … enemy radar signals,” Northrop Grumman spokesperson Brooks McKinney explained.

    All kidding aside, the aircraft does strongly resemble an old-school, 1950’s B-movie flying saucer, so you can’t really blame people for getting a little worked up over its appearance. Still, considering the government claims UFOs don’t exist, I seriously doubt they’d transport one in such a conspicuous manner.

    Hey, if nothing else, It certainly makes for a good story.
