History | O.R.T.K. | Classic Cases | UFO Crashes | Face on Mars | Close Encounters | Alien Abductions | |
Over the years there have been a number of 'classic' UFO cases. These are well documented, often with multiple witnesses and additional evidence such as photographic or video footage and radar traces. These are the events which refuse to 'die' and often get quoted on TV documentaries and at conferences around the world. This page aims to give the reader a brief outline of the events and history surrounding the case.
It would be impossible to document every UFO case in history here, so I've chosen what I consider to be possibly the top ten discussed UFO events.
The information on this page is minimal, in order to briefly summarise the main events. If you would like further information on any of these cases, please click on the respective 'green heading image'.
Kenneth Arnold's original sighting of nine shining 'disc-shaped' objects as he was flying through the Cascade Mountains on June 24th 1947. This sighting led to the creation of the phrase "flying saucers" as Arnold described the objects to the news as "skimming like a saucer does on water."
Although this event is widely regarded as the start of modern ufology, there are a number of other sighting surrounding the event that are worth investigating. Perhaps the most enigmatic is the Maury Island Mystery.
A sequence of events, starting on 2nd December 1989 led to one of the most celebrated and well documented cases in UFO history. The night of 30-31st March 1990 was when everything went haywire, resulting in reports from all over Belgium and Germany. Two F-16 fighters were scrambled to intercept an unexplained object detected by radar screens. In minutes the fighters were airbourne and obtained radar lock on the object. However, each time the fighters tried to intercept, the object broke radar lock and out-accelerated the F-16s. At one point the object dropped 1300m in one second and in total the aerial chase lasted some 75 minutes.
The object certainly appeared to be intelligently controlled as it took evasive action, and Colonel (now General) W.De Brouwer, the Belgian air force cheif of operations later commented that "There was a logic in the movements of the UFO."
Bonnybridge is located approx 15 miles from Falkirk, Scotland and, along with Warminster in England, is one of the biggest UFO 'Hotspots' in the United Kingdom, with more than 8000 reports filed by local inhabitants between 1992-4 alone.
Although there is no single incident more worthy than others, the location has been a focal point of UFO activity for a number of years. Indeed, like the Warminster sightings of the 1960's, UFO sightings often occur in 'waves'.
Like Bonnybridge, Gulf Breeze is one of the UFO hotspots of the USA, with many hundreds of sightings occurring over the years. Probably the most controversial publicity for the Gulf Breeze sightings came from the spectacular photos taken by an architect called Ed Walters in 1987 and 1988. Some of Ed Walters photos are so detailed, including one showing a UFO emitting a blue beam of light that lifted him off the ground, that it's either an elaborate and brilliant hoax or conclusive proof of alien craft.
Foo Fighters started being reported a few years prior to Kenneth Arnold's 'saucer' sightings in 1947. Airmen of all sides reported seeing balls of fire, or light, whilst carrying out air raids during the Second World War. The name originated from the US Smokey Stover comic strip in the 1940's, which used the phrase "Where there's foo there's fire" and was coined by the American airmen.
These UFOs or Foo Fighters were often reported as travelling at speeds in excess of 250mph and airmen sometimes claimed that encounters with them damaged aircraft ignition systems. Ball Lightning was one explanation put forward, as well as secret technology 'the other side' were developing. Also reports of Foo Fighters ended in 1945 with the end of the war.
During the total solar eclipse of 11th July 1991, no fewer than 17 people at different locations in Mexico City independently videod a silver, metalic object in the sky above the city. This is possibly one of the biggest UFO sightings in history, yet relatively little media coverage occurred outside of Mexico itself.
Editor of the Mexican 60 Minutes television programme, Jaime Maussan even organised a division of his TV production company to the investigation of UFOs, following the multiple witness sightings in 1991.
What makes this case so special is the amount of video footage take by different people, all of which has been analysed and found to correlate the time, position and movement of the craft.
The incidents surrounding Rendlesham Forest and the Bentwaters Air Force base in Essex form what is probably the most well documented and publicised event in United Kingdom UFO history. In the early hours of December 27th 1980 Rendlesham forest was about to enter the history books, as two security patrolmen not only witnessed a UFO sighting but even encountered a metallic, triangular craft which appeared to land in the forest. What makes this event all the more important is that tape-recordings of the original radio transmission from the investigators are available to the public, along with the transcript of the report by base commander Lt-Col. Charles Halt, detailing the whole incident.
The Roswell event is arguably the most well known and documented UFO event in history. Not only has it inspired numerous TV shows and films but also a large number of books and magazines.
Roswell became international news in July 1947 when The Roswell Daily Herald announced on its front page that the RAAF had captured a flying saucer. Coming a mere eight days after Kenneth Arnold's 'saucer' story, the Roswell event centres around an alleged UFO crash in a deserted part of the New Mexico desert, some 80 miles NE of the White Sands missile testing range. On July 2nd, ranger 'Mac' Brazel heard a loud explosion during an electrical storm. On investigating the following morning he found some mysterious 'wreckage' strewn across a portion of his ranch. He reported it to the local sherriff, who in turn contacted the nearby army air force base. The ranch was visited by Major Jesse Marcel of the 509th bomber squadron.
The story got out and the papers covered it. However, only a couple of days later the government took control and back-tracked on the story, claiming that it was merely a crashed weather balloon. To this day, the arguments continue as to what really happened that week. However, there were over 200 witnesses and testimony's, including the pilot who ferried recovered 'bodies' away, the local undertaker and nurses at a nearby hospital.
Socorro is very close to Roswell and a lot of events surrounding Roswell may indeed have been mistaken for events that occurred here. However, on April 24th 1964 "one of the classics of UFO literature", to use the words of Project Blue Book consultant J.Allen Hynek, was witnessed by New Mexico highway patrol officer Lonnie Zamora. He was travelling on US Route 85 when his attention was alerted to a "descending machine, exhausting blue and orange flames, and periodically hovering."
He turned off the main road and went to investigate. Climbing a rise, he observed what appeared to be an egg-shaped metallic craft resting on legs extended from it. He immediately radioed the Sheriff's office and then as he watched, two humanoid figures emerged from the craft, dressed in what appeared to be white uniforms. Finding cover he then witnessed the craft rise vertically and then take off in a horizontal direction.
One of the most frequently asked questions by sceptics is "If UFOs exist then why don't they land on the Whitehouse lawn?" Well, in 1952 they nearly did. There was a unprecidented UFO activity in what has been termed the great "Washington flap" of 1952. At its height in July 1952, radars at both Washington National Airport and Andrews Air Force Base picked up UFOs and there were so many witness accounts that questions started to be asked at The Pentagon, culminating in a press conference being held on July 29th at which a reporter asked the Director of Air Force Intelligence, General John Samford, "Is it some very highly secret new weapon that we're working on that's causing these flying saucer reports?" to which Samford replied "We have nothing that has no mass and unlimited power!"
These are just brief descriptions of some of the most famous cases in UFO history. However, it is difficult to select a small number of cases from the hundreds recorded. There have been so many logged reports, not only by ordinary members of the public but by policemen and women, military personel, commercial pilots, members of congress & parliament and even astronauts, that the sheer weight of evidence demands that more research is carried out.
Indeed, some people might argue that Project Blue Book was never actually closed....

We have had a very large number of sightings during the past few months and even way back into 2008,so many sightings we are now beginning to accept them and perhaps we might even be taking them for granted as part of the normal way of life. The articles above are the base of the UFO history that we have all studied in the past,and I cant recall how many times I have been asked during the talks I have given over the past twenty years as to why are the UFO'S not landing on the White House lawn.
Here is a typical newspaper report of recent sightings.
Ball of light over Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina ,USA
A team of scientists is looking into what could have caused bright lights in the sky that prompted hundreds of calls to the National Weather Service and emergency officials.
Callers from Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina described brilliant, streaking lights followed by an explosion-like sound around 9:45 p.m. Sunday.Virginia residents from Hampton Roads to Richmond reported seeing "great balls of fire" lighting up the sky in shades of yellow, white orange and blue. Some described the explosion as sounding like thunder.
Several calls came to Richmond International Airport, but spokesman Troy Bell said tower workers did not see anything unusual.The weather service said no damage was reported.
Mars is a mystery, no doubt about that. I thought it might be a good idea to write about the Planet as its been in and around earth for the past few months. We had a visit from the red planet in November2007 as it came in to close proximity with the Earth's orbit during that time. Mars and Earth have a very uneasy relationship. The atmosphere of both planets seems to clash and cause disturbance. How ever at the time of close proximity we have had a huge amount of reported sightings from reliable sources. What ever the reason we had a number of extremely interesting sightings during the months of December2007 and indeed January of 2008 too. They were reported from all over the world, by all sorts of people, and the records would show there were mass sightings reported by a number of people who were pretty excited as they had never seen anything like the unusual craft that have appeared suddenly in their viewing area .

We had a video of the UFO sightings which I hope you all enjoyed. I hope to expand upon the subject in the future. I f you are interested in detailed discussion please contact me by email. After we had the showing of the video we carried on in to the Planet Mars. We had the usual view of the Red Mars surface, The Face, the Heart, and of course the Pyramids. There is also evidence of water having been on Mars and this would point to the fact there was life at some stage on the strange landscape of our near neighbour.
Mars is not unlike earth, it has winds, blue skies, mountains, and of course its famous Volcanoes, Olympus Mons and Tharsis Montes Another very interesting feature are what look like the remains of an Inca city,this was far too well laid out to be an accident of nature

Years ago I was looking at a photograph of Mars and I could see what looked like the remains of Mayan Plazas buried beneath the surface of Mars. Even more intriguing we have the evidence that Mars may have been inhabited by an ancient civilization. The evidence of the monuments of Mars have long been under discussion as to whether they are artificial or just accidental shapes made factual by the collective imagination. Somehow I find the latter a little hard to believe!
We have all kinds of interesting reports relayed back to earth since we have had the Viking landings, the first of which was on the 20th of July 1976.
Three dimensional analyses on the Face at Cydonia show previously the green rock looks like chunks of Malachite which is formed by a corrosion of water on copper and may very well be the composition of the rocks strewn about. However, there is the possibility that it could be Jade; we can carry on with endless discussion on this aspect alone. Again we are faced with the evidence of the facts; we have new evidence with the man from Mars. Was he a statue on top of a long and pretty high Pillar, placed there as A tribute to his fame perhaps? Could the building beneath the sands have been another Monument? Perhaps he is the face of the last civilization to inhabit Mars ,his features close up resembles the face on the Cydonian plane and I ask... could this his Image be a reflection of an Image of the people of Mars?.
The three dimensional analysis on the face on the cydonian plane should read as the following.I had my posting interfered with,I am sorry about that,a remote controller who is latched onto my Computer .However I shall continue as best I can.The unnoticed details in the Face-for example, bilateral lines crossing above the eyes that are suggestive of a diadem; teeth in the mouth and stripes on the headdress. The analysis on the Face was carried out using the methods to enhance x-rays, remote sensing, satellite images, and so on. So it would be extremely interesting to have such a professional study undertaken on the new Image found on Mars. He has been named the Entity on Mars, and he is the figure sitting in lonely solitude on the green rocks and boulders of that area. Perhaps he is waiting for Venus? Who knows; what ever the reason Mars continues to mystify us even more.
Hello everyone!
This is a very interesting footage of a Triangular shaped UFO caught by Nasa’s Camera.Lots more about Mars if you want it,just let me know if you want me to continue about the very mysterious Man on Mars.

More about Mars:
Mars has got to be the most talked about Planet in our solar system.We here on Earth have a strange fascination with the strange but beautiful landscape that we have been viewing in the past.Mars has obviously had a past,with civilizations living there.Who knows,perhaps in the far and distant foggy mist of time, we too are connected to this planet,connected by dreams and the etheric web connected to our spirit,through which we hold the memory of our cosmic past.
