1.
Maury Island Incident, 1947: Sailor Harold Dahl claimed that he had seen six flying saucers while looking of driftwood in Puget Sound, Washington. After the sighting, a man in a black suit came to his house to threaten him and his family if he repeated his story. Seems sketchy. -
2.
Yeni Kent Compound, 2008: A night guard at the Yeni Kent Compound in Turkey took video of supposed UFOs over four months. There were many witnesses of the events, and these videos are considered some of the most important UFO footage ever filmed. People claim that the sightings were just lights from cruise ships, but they had to be UFOs, right? -
3.
Belgium Wave, 1989-1990: For two years over 13,000 people claimed to see giant black triangles flying in the sky over Belgium. They described them as silent and low flying, which argue the claim by the military that they were just helicopters. Totally UFOs, right? -
4.
Kenneth Arnold Case, 1947: Kenneth Arnold claimed in 1947 that he had seen nine flying saucers flying in a chain near Mt. Rainier, Washington. This was the first time that the phrase ‘Flying Saucer’ was coined. -
5.
Rendlesham Forest Incident, 1980: This is probably the most infamous UFO sighting to hit the UK and has even been referred to as ‘Britain’s Roswell.’ A few servicemen reported seeing unexplainable lights on two separate nights in the Rendlesham Forest. Upon inspection, they claimed to have found a glowing metallic object, a small craft, and three small impressions shaped like a triangle. Authorities came up with a bunch of excuses, but we all know they had to be from aliens, right? -
6.
Lubbock Lights, 1951: Over Lubbock, Texas this unusual formation of 20-30 lights appeared in the sky throughout August and September, leaving residents very confused and concerned. This was regarded as one of the first great UFO incidents in the U.S. -
7.
Shag Harbour, 1947: A large object crashed into Shag Harbour, Nova Scotia, prompting the Navy to be called in to investigate. After a thorough search, the case was classified as unsolved because there are no clear evidence of what actually happened. Or you know, they were covering up UFOs! -
8.
The Hill Abduction, 1961: Barney and Betty Hill of Portsmouth, New Hampshire reported that a UFO had followed their car and abducted them into their ship for physical examinations. They told of the event and even went under hypnosis, only to recall the same story. This put an end to the disbelief, and people actually believed their story. -
9.
Tehran UFO Incident, 1976: The story goes that two F-4 interceptor jets saw an unidentified object flying over Tehran, Iran. As they approached the object, their systems temporarily failed within their aircrafts, but as they retreated they returned to normal function. The strangest part is when they tried to open fire, none of their weapons worked. -
10.
Carson Sink Incident, 1953: Two military pilots were flying a North American B-25 bomber over the Carson Desert when they saw three UFOs flying in a triangular pattern. The three object were said to have been traveling three times faster than the B-25 and to this day the case is still unexplained. -
11.
Levelland Case, 1957: One night in Levelland, Texas, drivers reported that all of their car engines abruptly turned off when a strange glowing object made an appearance. As soon as the object left, their cars all started back up. The authorities said that this was all due to an electrical storm, but what about the strange egg-shaped, flying object? -
12.
Washington D.C., 1952: The CIA formed the Robinson Panel after what appeared to be UFOs showed themselves over Washington D.C. Although, the US Air Force stated that the changes in temperature caused the radar to give false signals. Sounds like a cover-up to me. -
13.
Roswell, 1947: This is probably the most famous and controversial UFO sighting in history where UFO hunters claim that the U.S. military captured a UFO with aliens inside. Although the military has come forward and said that it was just a device used for a classified operation, many people remain skeptical.
