10 most well documented UFO sightings

they move and stealthy secrecy they are

unidentified alien extraterrestrial UFO

number 10 the Baltic Sea anomaly found

300 feet below the baltic sea surface

this isn't an unidentified flying object

but when Swedish treasure hunters

located this 200 foot round 12 foot

thick irregularity it was definitely

unidentified most experts suggest it's

either rocks and Nazi ear a piece of

equipment or something equally man-made

ok it may not be alien but you have to

admit it looks like the Millennium

Falcon number 9 the Belgian UFO wave can

over 13,000 people be wrong that's how

many Belgians reported seeing a series

of triangle-shaped lights in the sky on

March 30th 1990 after six months of

similar smaller-scale activity f-16s

chased whatever it was but the UFOs were

so fast and so unpredictable that it was

impossible photos associated with this

event were later discredited but this

remains one of the most well documented

UFO sightings ever number 8 the Phoenix

lights in an eerily similar event

hundreds of Arizona Nevada and Mexico

residents including the Arizona Governor

witnessed floating orbs of light and a

v-shaped vehicle passing through the

night sky the resulting amateur video

caused a media firestorm and fueled

speculation the military claimed the

lights were simply flares they'd

launched but due to the lights precise

formation many were skeptical number 7

the Kecksburg UFO incident what causes a

fireball sonic booms grass fires and

dropping metal fragments a meteor a

downed Soviet satellite when whatever it

was crash landed in Kecksburg

Pennsylvania residents investigated but

were stopped by an army barricade though

officials reported that nothing was

found

locals swore they witnessed the

military leaving with a large acorn

shaped object on a flatbed truck number

6 STS 75 the tether incident for their

tethered satellite system NASA sends

tethers into space for a variety of

research related reasons however this

particular trial failed when the tether

broke but the event became famous with

conspiracy theorists for what happened

next as seen in this video a bunch of

unidentified flying objects appeared

near the tether NASA called its space

debris however some believe alien UFOs

were caught on tape number 5 the Battle

of Los Angeles it's three months after

the Pearl Harbor attack it's 3 a.m. and

a UFO is spotted flying near LA the army

figures it's a hostile Japanese aircraft

they shoot 1,400 rounds of ammo into the

sky and hit nothing no debris was found

but several civilians did die from shock

and friendly fire the official

explanation may be a blimp a weather

balloon or fighter planes or maybe it

never happened at all

number 4 the Washington DC flap radars

recorded strange blips eyewitnesses

describe dazzling orange light once the

flying saucers reportedly swarmed the

White House President Truman okay to

shoot down order but soon backtracked by

submitting that the UFOs were actually

mirages caused by temperature inversions

eventually the government appointed

Robertson panel suggested that more time

be spent on debunking UFO reports all

together rather than investigating them

which is why many discredit official

government explanations even today of

this great mass of reports we have been

able adequately to explain the great

bulk of them explain them to our own

satisfaction number three the Kenneth

Arnold UFO sighting Roswell may be the

hotbed of alien activity but around the

same time Washington's Mount Rainier was

in the headlines

thanks to Kenneth Arnold's experience

while flying nearby he reliably detailed

what he called flying saucers or bright

flashes of light traveling at unheard-of

speeds through the air while the events

were later corroborated by others they

were never proven however they did

assure in the modern UFO

era number two the man tell UFO incident

this was when public perception towards

supposed alien encounters shifted from a

joke to something more serious skilled

airman captain Thomas Mantell was

pursuing an unidentified white object

spotted over Kentucky when according to

official reports he crashed after

running out of oxygen since this was

possibly the first UFO related human

casualty unsubstantiated rumors swirled

that he'd been shot down by aliens and

that his body was covered in strange

holes number one

Roswell Roswell New Mexico has been

synonymous with conspiracy and aliens

since strange debris turned up in the

desert dismissed as a fallen weather

balloon from the top-secret project

mogul the wreckage story re-emerged in

1978 when an eyewitness described would

like substances that wouldn't burn tape

person metal that wouldn't dent and

unreadable symbols printed on the rubble

conspiracy theorists took this as proof

of a far-reaching government cover-up

and the existence of aliens something

did crash something was recovered

whatever was recovered the government

still has it in his possession do you

believe in aliens which UFO sighting do

you find the most believable for more
