UFOs: Sightings
There are literally hundreds of UFO sightings every year. And likely just as many that go unreported for various reasons, not least of which is the fear of ridicule. And these sightings range from strange and bizarrely moving lights to apparent metallic aircraft that look and move unlike anything known to exist here on Earth.
As we might imagine, there are multiple explanations offered for these strange sightings. Some claim they are merely illusionary tricks of the light, some assert they are top-secret aircraft of the world’s governments, while others maintain that they are visitors from another world beyond the stars. There are also further, perhaps more outlandish although no less possible proposals, that these strange aircraft are visitors from another dimension or even another time.
From sightings known to people with little interest in UFO matters such as the Phoenix Lights episode that was witnessed by hundreds of people, including state government officials, to the plethora of accounts that surface in the files of UFO organizations and websites dedicated to such reports, not only have people been witnessing these strange aerial anomalies for decades, perhaps centuries, but they continue to see them today in our contemporary era.
By definition UFOs – Unidentified Flying Objects – exist. What they might one day prove to be, however, remains a mystery…

UFOs And Black Helicopters Over A Small Staffordshire Village
The sighting of “Simon”, an artist from Staffordshire in the United Kingdom is interesting enough given not only the presence of an apparent alien craft, but also several unmarked black military-style helicopters, each containing at least one heavily armed person inside, but it was his third encounter with a potential vehicle from another world over the course of three and a half decades. We might ask, is there something about the location that is key to these encounters, or might it be something to so with the witness themselves..?

Project 33, The Chulucanas Incident, And Peru’s Official UFO Office
Although UFO sightings have occurred over Peru for decades, at the very least, several sightings in the early 2000s sparked such an interest from the military that they set up an official UFO department to study the bizarre aerial anomalies. Although the department would close several years later, the persistent reports of strange lights and bizarre objects led to its reopening, and continued official investigation…

The 2023 “Downed UFO” Wave Over North America – Just What Is Going On?
Following the appearance and shooting of a Chinese weather balloon over the United States, three more strange objects suddenly appeared, each of which were also subsequently shot down. These objects, though, were confirmed as not being a weather balloon by authorities. And what’s more, their description was remarkably similar to many UFO sightings from around the world. The authorities themselves, said these strange objects were officially unidentified…

The Quiet Before The Storm Of The Modern UFO Era
In the run up to the Kenneth Arnold UFO sightings and the alleged Roswell crash in the summer of 1947, UFO sightings began to steadily increase. And these sightings were being reported from all over the world. Indeed, although it was still a little over a year away, the eighteen months before the summer of 1947 were a quiet before the storm – an insight into what awaited the world in the second half of the twentieth century when UFO sightings would explode…

The Mini UFO Waves And Strange Encounters From The End Of The Second World War
The final 18 months of the Second World War saw a persistent presence of anomalous lights and vehicles in the skies around the world, a presence that appeared to increase as the conflict drew to a close. Whether this is a coincidence remains unknown. It really could have been the case, though, that these apparent extraterrestrial visitors were observing humanity, specifically their destructive tendencies…

The Discreet Beginnings Of An Alien Agenda? UFO Encounters From The Opening Years Of World War Two
As the Second World War gripped much of Europe, and, in turn, the rest of the world, UFO sightings continued to occur, albeit at a slightly slower pace. Many of these encounters, however, featured military pilots, who were more than familiar with what they would normally encounter in the air, and consequently were best placed to tell they were something truly out of the ordinary…

Recovered Alien Vehicles And Warnings Of Bloodshed: Accounts Of UFOs From The Mid-1930s

Crash Landings, Domed Discs, And Likely Alien Abductions: Otherworldly Encounters Of The Early-1930s
As the 1930s progressed, sightings of strange aerial vehicles and encounters with humanoid entities remained steady, and by the mid-1930s, with aviation improving at a rapid pace, many of these reports were coming from pilots in the air. Indeed, while perhaps not one of the busiest periods in UFO history, the first half of the thirties was still full of mysterious and unexplained activity…

Encounters With Humanoids And Advanced Alien Vehicles: UFO Accounts From The Roaring Twenties
Although the 1920s were much quieter in terms of UFO sightings as the decades before and after it, reports of futuristic aerial vehicles and encounters with strange humanoid entities continues throughout the decade. In many ways, given the dramatic increases in such sightings during the thirties as the world once again headed to war, the 1920s were the quiet before the UFO storm that was about to grip the entire planet…

Machine-Like Vehicles And Strange Green Creatures: UFO Encounters Of The First World War Era
The second decade of the twentieth century, perhaps because of the bloody carnage that was the First World War, has a small mountain of UFO reports and encounters with strange humanoid entities to its name. Whether these potential aliens were the same ones that would announce themselves in the late 1940s at the start of the Modern UFO Era is perhaps open to debate. That there were unknown and mysterious vehicles with equally mysterious occupants traversing our skies isn’t…

Daylight Discs, Strange Airships, And Humanoid Occupants: The Opening Decade Of The Pre-Roswell UFO Era!
UFO sightings go much further back than the start of the Modern UFO Era in the late-1940s. However, rather than merely being sporadic sightings spread across time and distance, these reports of bizarre aerial vehicles were much more regular than we at first might suspect. And when we factor in the many sightings that will have been lost to time, we should be alert to the fact that there has been a regular UFO presence on Earth for a lot longer than we would perhaps like to imagine…

Lesser-Known UFO And Alien Encounters From The Start Of The Modern UFO Era
While most of us are aware of such UFO encounters of 1947 like the Kenneth Arnold sighting and the alleged Roswell Crash, the fact is, right from the start of the year that saw the start of the Modern UFO Era, UFO sightings were in abundance across the world. And many of them contained almost identical details, suggesting that whatever these aerial vehicles were, they were very real…
