Were the people who claimed to have seen UFOs delusional? Or could they all be charlatans? We cannot find a definitive answer to this enigma. Still, we can’t stop ourselves from researching and thinking. Let’s take a look back at the most famous UFO (unidentified fying object) cases on record.
1. A First in Records; UFO Report by Airman Kenneth Arnold Who Claims to Have Seen Bright Lights and an Abnormally Speeding Vehicle – June, 1947
Kenneth Arnold was flying east from Washington State, near Mount Rainier. Turning his head to the north with a sudden brilliance in the sky, Arnold saw nine flying objects advancing at an incredible speed. Making the analogy of “flying objects that look like saucers floating on the water”, Arnold also reported that the objects resembled a horseshoe shape. This event, which attracted the attention of the press, was announced with the headline “flying saucer”. It has been calculated that these objects fly at 2172 km/h, three times faster than the fastest jets.
2. UFO Crashed on a Farm in Mexico and Conspiracy Theories, Roswell Accident – July, 1947
A month after Kenneth Arnold’s tip, a flying saucer-like aircraft crashed on a farm in Roswell, New Mexico, just like Arnold’s description. Those at Roswell Air Force Base confirmed that the wreckage was a “flying saucer,” but the US military covered up the flying saucer analogy by declaring that it belonged to some sort of weather balloon. Ufologists suggest that one or more superhuman spacecraft crash-landed on Earth and extraterrestrial passengers were rescued by the military, with the Roswell accident being one of the most important examples. The famous Roswell incident is cited as one of the best archived and most thoroughly debunked UFO cases. The fate of the falling object has never been revealed.
3. The Most Controversial Kidnapping Case, Barney and Betty Hill Couple and the Truth-Revealing Hypnosis Technique – September, 1961
American couple Barney and Betty Hill encountered an object emitting red lights in New Hampshire during their car ride. Wanting to take a closer look at the object, Barney got out of his car and pointed his binoculars at it. Barney, who saw some kind of superhuman ship with aliens on it, tried to escape after hearing the sound of the ship. Unable to remember this escape attempt and the next two hours, the couple were exposed to paranormal events after what happened. Returning home, the couple could not get out of the shock effect for a while. Betty’s dress had burns and Barney’s dentures were missing. The couple, who constantly had nightmares and gray beings, finally resorted to the technique of hypnosis. This hypnosis produced some interesting findings that could still be controversial years later.
The findings officially confirmed that Barney and Betty may have been exposed to something paranormal!
Two events revealed under the influence of hypnosis were very important. A hypnotized Betty said that an alien showed her a star chart. This star chart has been sketched by experts. The most shocking events took place afterwards. The Zeta Reticuli star system, discovered years later, was exactly the same as this sketch. At the same time, a frightening truth emerged from the burns on Betty’s clothing. These burns carried an unidentified biological substance. The Barney and Betty case, which has realistic findings that can disprove fictional doubts, continues to be a research topic today.
4. The Case of the Shining Flying Object in Tehran and the Failure of the Radars, What Technology Do These Objects Have? – September, 1976
Reports of bright objects in the sky came one after another from Tehran, the capital of Iran. The authorities, who took the notices into account and wanted to display the object on the radar, could not view anything. The object, visible to the naked eye, was not visible from radar at Shahrokhi Air Base. Thereupon, General Yousefi gave the F-4 warplanes permission to take off. However, due to the intensity of its brightness, this object, which could be seen even from 70 miles away, was emitting some kind of electromagnetic interference. As the F-4 approached the object, communication between the pilot and the base was cut off. The pilot returned to base after communications were lost.
Second take-off F4 aircraft succeeds in tracking UFO
After the F-4 fighter jet returning to the base, another F-4 took off again towards the object. This time, the pilot was getting closer and closer to the object that was emitting colored lights. The object suddenly began to move away with terrific speed. Fortunately, the pilot was able to continue tracking the UFO. However, this pursuit did not last long. An object one-third the size of the main body came out from inside the main body, which was emitting bright light. The pilot, who saw this second object that came quickly upon him, pointed towards the weapon control panel, but the panel was inactive. Left with no other choice, the pilot reversed course. When the gap widened, the second object was again perfectly intertwined with the first object, and the weapon control system was operational again. The experiences are well documented, with pilots’ sketches of this object and various written descriptions.
5. Shiny Metal Cone Landing in Rendlesham Forest and Manipulation of Records – December, 1980
In 1980, military personnel in the United States Air Force reported that a red-emitting sun-like oval object had landed in the Rendlesham forest outside the NATO RAF base. At first it was assumed that a man-made aircraft crashed. However, according to the personnel who approached the falling object, it was a metal-like cone with an extremely shiny surface, and there were symbols on the cone that resembled hieroglyphs. Soldiers examining the forest the next morning found burn marks on trees and bushes. These burns were assumed to be caused by the energy emitted by the object. Two nights later, investigators, including Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt, surveyed the area again. Halt wrote a short note to the UK Ministry of Defense after the review. Much later, the witnesses were questioned and signed a written document stating that they had seen nothing. Author Brenda Butler, about the event; “There are still a lot of cases to be revealed, but there has been such a big cover-up that no one will ever understand what happened.” There is even a statue of the aforementioned UFO in the Rendlesham forest, which has become a tourist attraction today.
And Finally, Unidentified Flying Spheres Announced by NASA
Flying metal spheres have been seen in many places, but NASA’s statement in April cleared doubts about the obscurity of these spheres. No answer has been found by NASA and the Pentagon as to what metallic spheres are. The aforementioned flying globes have become one of the most reported cases of UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) in the world. It was also stated that these spheres, which are about four meters in diameter, can perform very interesting maneuvers. Some of the spheres observed to have flown at several different speeds were not moving, while others were in flight. Between 10,000 and 30,000 feet, the spheres in this silver, white, and translucent display are at the same height as most commercial airplanes. Pointing out that they could not catch the object and therefore could not examine it, Kirkpatrick says that a logical explanation can be found in the future. Therefore, the possibility that flying orbs could represent life in space remains somewhat unprovable. We hope to learn more about these spheres in the future.
Even if the objects seen do not belong to aliens, we can say with certainty that something is scientifically or psychologically provable. However, we should not underestimate the potentials of space, which has a very different concept of time, and we should not lose our curiosity about the universe, which is superior to us.
