Latest UFO Sighting in Ohio: Oval-Shaped Object Merges with Massive Ball of Light
Latest UFO sighting from Ohio
In a stunning development, a group of witnesses in Ohio have reported seeing a UFO that changed shapes and flew at lightning speeds before ultimately merging with a massive ball of light. The sighting occurred on March 3, 2023, and has left many people in the area stunned and fascinated.
According to witness reports, the object was initially oval-shaped and was spinning and changing shape rapidly. It then proceeded to fly towards a large ball of light that was so bright it appeared to be daytime outside. The ball of light was also round and appeared to be emitting a tremendous amount of energy.
As the oval-shaped object approached the ball of light, witnesses reported seeing a massive metallic object hovering above the houses. It was so large that it was difficult to define its exact shape, but witnesses described it as oval-shaped as well. There was a beam of light that shot through the huge ball of white light on the bottom of the large craft just hovering above the houses.
In an incredible turn of events, witnesses reported seeing two more objects like the first one fly onto the large UFO and disappear. The witnesses were able to capture video and pictures of the sighting, which are sure to be of great interest to UFO enthusiasts and researchers.
The witnesses described the entire experience as surreal and said they had never seen anything like it before. They also noted that there was no sound associated with the UFO, which seemed to defy the laws of physics as it changed shape and direction at lightning speeds.
While skeptics may try to explain away the sighting as a natural phenomenon or a man-made object, the witnesses are adamant that what they saw was not of this world. Their account of the latest UFO sighting in Ohio is sure to generate significant interest and may even lead to more sightings in the future.
In conclusion, the latest UFO sighting in Ohio is a fascinating and mysterious event that has left witnesses and researchers alike eager to learn more. The eyewitness reports, video, and pictures of the incident are sure to generate significant interest among those interested in UFO sightings and paranormal phenomena. Stay tuned for updates on this incredible event.
The recent podcast “Weaponized,” starring filmmaker Jeremy Corebll and investigative journalist George Knapp, has ignited a long debate on Area 51 holding secrets of UFOs and non-human beings. Mr. Knapp explained a lot of the corroborating evidence regarding people that confirmBob Lazar’s claims, as well as the S4 base he worked at Nevada desert and the company that vetted him, EG&G.
Lazar’s identity as an Area 51 scientist has always been discussed by other people in the UFOlogy. Lately, Dr. Travis Scott has also been seen discrediting Bob Lazar and said he did work at Area 51 but as a janitor. Many users find it a direct attack on Lazar’s credentials as he failed to show his qualifications. However, there are credible experts that have confirmed Lazar’s work at Area 51.
Mr. Knapp revealed to Corbell that while working on the follow-up series “UFOs: The Best Evidence” in 1990, he came to know about a man named Alfred O’Donnell, who was the general manager at EG&G in Nevada that managed Area 51. According to Knapp, O’Donnell claimed that “they did have a flying saucer that had been recovered from New Mexico,” and a “live being.”
EG&G was created by three scientists, Harold Edgerton, Kenneth Germeshausen, and Herbert Grier. The company specialized in the measurement of energy created by nuclear weapon explosions. EG&G was involved in the development of a complex little gadget that could arm an atomic bomb, start an automated countdown, set it off, and collect data on how it behaved. The company played a role in the migration of well-educated professionals to Las Vegas in the early 1950s, including Alfred O’Donnell, a technician who worked for the company.
Alfred O’Donnell
O’Donnell was the prominent figure in Area 51, who had all clearance to walk anywhere in the facility. Moreover, his background is good enough to add credibility to Bob Lazar’s claims. Mr. Knapp shared his story of meeting O’Donnell who told him about the recovered craft that was stored at the Indian Springs (Creech US Air Force Base), but later it was transferred to the newly built Area 51 in 1955.
“They moved it to an adjacent facility he didn’t say it was S4 he didn’t say it was Papoose but I think that’s what he’s talking about Papoose lake is where Bob Lazar said he worked and where they had built hangers underground disguised it to look like the desert and where they had other recovered craft,” Mr. Knapp said.
O’Donnell told Knapp all the secret information about UFOs at a coffee shop. He said that they were trying to reverse-engineer the recovered crafts and duplicate the technology to build more crafts like that. Further, O’Donnell revealed that they were worried that “IT” could get out. He said they were holding it in a cage as they did not understand it.
“We didn’t know what it was… To tell you the truth, we couldn’t communicate with it. In the beginning, we didn’t know what it was, we didn’t know where it was from. And we didn’t know what to do with it…”
“Eventually, they figured out a way to communicate with it and so I asked him well what did it look like… he said well kind of looks like a certain political candidate… at the time Ross Perot was running for president, he said it looks like Ross Perot, a little skinny guy with big ears and a tiny head, not a classic gray looking alien but a very odd looking creature.”
Mr. Knapp further shared a story about a former female employee of defense contractor Holmes & Narver, who allegedly had knowledge about “crashed saucers, recovered materials, and what sounded like a Roswell-type incident.” The woman had been intimidated by unknown agents before she was scheduled to speak with Knapp, causing her to cancel the meeting.
Knapp also mentioned that former Congressional staffer Richard D’Amato investigated claims about crashed saucers and visited Area 51, but was unable to verify the statements. Knapp later scheduled a meeting between D’Amato and EG&G employee O’Donnell, which was allowed by EG&G co-founder Herbert Grier. However, O’Donnell refused to tell D’Amato anything.
Knapp stated that O’Donnell made a deathbed confession, confirming the existence of a crashed flying saucer and a living being. However, no recording of O’Donnell’s confession has surfaced. If the recording was made public, it would lend credibility to the assertions made by Bob Lazar, who claimed to have worked on recovered saucers in Area 51.
Years after his initial conversation with Knapp, O’Donnell changed his story and shared a different version of the flying saucer incident with journalist and author Annie Jacobsen, which regarded the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) incident at Roswell in 1947.
Journalist Christoper Sharp writes that Jacobsen mentioned different version of O’Donnell’s story in the book “Area 51: An Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base,” according to which “Roswell incident was not the result of non-human intelligence, but in fact a Russian craft with ‘grotesque, child-size aviators’ developed in human experiments by Nazi doctor and war criminal Josef Mengele.”
But Mr. Knapp debunked this story as he discovered the Russians were just as mystified about the Roswell incident as the Americans.
Bob Lazar claimed in 1989 that the US government was conducting a project to reverse engineer alien technology from nine different UFOs collected over decades and hidden in hangars at a location called S-4 near Papoose Lake.
Jeremy Corbell shared a video of Mr. Knapp discussing am LakeFreeman also reported seeing a door opening in space with a bluish light, and then disappearing. George Knapp confirmed that Freeman did not know who Bob Lazar and John Lear were, and that former employees who worked with Bob verified that he was a physicist, but those claims were made informally and off the record.
Medium user SignalsIntelUFO has done great work by transcribing over 50 interviews of Bob Lazar with in-depth information. Bob claimed to have been hired as a physicist at Los Alamos in May 1982. For evidence about his employment, there is an article written by Terry England on June 30, 1982. “To Lazar, a physicist at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility, the important thing is the jet engine. It’s something he’s been working on for years,” England wrote.
Terry England article on Bob Lazar
In July 2020, during Joe Rogan’s podcast with Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp, Corbell said he asked Terry England about Bob Lazar’s occupation as a physicist at Los Alamos. Corbell said: “Look, here’s the point, you said Bob Lazar was a physicist at Los Alamos. So how did you base that? You’re writing a paper…” and he [England] goes “yeah,” — and it got picked up by AP news — he goes “if I [England] had misrepresented that he was a physicist at Los Alamos I would have been blackballed by everybody at Los Alamos. They take that very seriously. He was a physicist. I reported it. AP News picked it up, they repeated it. Not word one from anybody saying he wasn’t a physicist at Los Alamos.”

Date of sighting: Feb 8, 2023
Location of sighting: Arizona, looks like outskirts of Phoenix
Guys this just in. An eyewitness was out in hills mountain biking when he noticed a dark diamond craft moving across the sky and planes all around. The object can be seen moving over the city and has no tail, wings or anything that would indicate it was a plane, helicopter. It's also very big, car size or van size. So it's unlikely it's a drone since most drones are very small. The area looks like the outskirts of Phoenix, however the eyewitness didn't' put the city in the report so it's still unknown at the moment.

I was out mountain biking when I saw the object. I could see planes all around and hear them, but I could not ID this object.
What did Alex Dietrich, the witness of the Tic Tac UFO sighting, discover
What did Alex Dietrich, the witness of the Tic Tac UFO sighting, discover
Alex Dietrich is a former United States Navy fighter pilot who was involved in the 2004 Nimitz UFO incident. She was one of the pilots who encountered a mysterious flying object during a training exercise off the coast of California. The incident gained worldwide attention when it was revealed by The New York Times in 2017. Dietrich, along with other pilots and crew members, reported seeing an object that appeared to defy the laws of physics, with no visible means of propulsion or flight control surfaces. The object also reportedly outmaneuvered the pilots’ fighter jets with ease. Dietrich has since spoken publicly about the incident and has advocated for more transparency and research into UFOs.
Steven Spielberg speculates that UFOs could be time-traveling humans from 500,000 years in the future
Steven Spielberg speculates that UFOs could be time-traveling humans from 500,000 years in the future
In recent weeks, American skies have been filled with various balloons and other unidentified flying objects that the U.S. military has been forced to shoot down. The lack of information provided has led many curious Americans to draw their own conclusions about the mysterious objects — including Steven Spielberg.
The famous director, known for his movies such as “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and “E.T.”, has been asked about the recent surge in UFO sightings during a career-spanning interview on “The Late Show with Steven Colbert”. While Spielberg is not ready to endorse the theory that we are being visited by aliens, he finds the saga fascinating.
Spielberg said, “I don’t believe we’re alone in the universe. I think it’s mathematically impossible that we are the only intelligent species in the cosmos. I think that’s totally impossible.” However, he is skeptical about the idea that someone would visit us from 400 million lightyears away, unless they figured out a way to jump through wormholes.
While Spielberg is not convinced about aliens traveling millions of lightyears to visit us, he’s more open to the idea that humans may have figured out time travel. He presented Colbert with his own theory that the UFOs we’re seeing are actually humans visiting us from the future.
“What if it’s us, 500,000 years in the future, that is coming back to document the second half of the 20th century and into the 21st century because they’re anthropologists? And they know something we don’t quite know yet that has occurred, and they’re trying to track the last hundred years of our history.”
Spielberg’s theory raises an interesting question about the future of humanity. If people are indeed visiting us from the future, what does that say about our survival as a species? It’s an optimistic view, suggesting that humans will not only survive but thrive for the next half-million years.
While there is no concrete evidence to support Spielberg’s theory, it’s a fascinating idea to ponder. It’s impossible to know for sure what these UFOs really are, but Spielberg’s perspective provides a new and unique way of looking at the phenomenon. Regardless of what the UFOs turn out to be, the discussion surrounding them is a testament to our innate curiosity about the world and the universe we live in.
Uncovering the Truth About Crashed UFOs and Alien Beings: Compelling Evidence From the 1950s
Uncovering the Truth About Crashed UFOs and Alien Beings: Compelling Evidence From the 1950s
It seems that 1950s were a busy years for crashed UFOs and military retrievals.
The UFO phenomenon has been the subject of much debate and controversy for decades. While many people remain skeptical about the existence of extraterrestrial life and the possibility of UFO sightings and encounters, there is a wealth of evidence that suggests otherwise.
One of the most compelling pieces of evidence comes from a series of reports published in the Flying Saucer Review (FSR) in the 1950s. These reports included accounts of UFO sightings, as well as alleged encounters with extraterrestrial beings and even crashed UFOs.
In one particularly interesting report from FSR Vol. 2, No. 1 (January/February 1956), a special correspondent visited Mexico and spoke with a top-ranking American V.I.P. who claimed that the United States government had established that flying saucers were manned by visitors from outer space. The V.I.P. stated that the visitors were trying to work out a method of breathing and staying alive in our atmosphere before landing and establishing contact.
Flying Saucer Review – Vol. 2, N. 1: Jan-Feb 1956 (FSR). Kindle edition available at this link.
The report goes on to describe a specific incident in which three saucers were spotted hovering over the airport in Mexico City in the summer of 1951. News reporters, photographers, and movie camera crews were gathered to meet a V.I.P. from the United States when someone noticed the saucers. Many photographs and movies were taken of the saucers before they darted off at high speed in a southerly direction. The following day, the newspapers of Mexico City broke the story on their front pages, but no pictures were released. It was reported that the pictures had all been taken by the authorities and that they would be released for publication after a study had been made by the Mexican and United States authorities. However, so far, the pictures have not appeared.
Later that summer, the American V.I.P. admitted to the FSR correspondent that it had been established that the saucers were visitors from another planet and that they were completely friendly. The U.S. Air Force had been ordered to take no action against their craft. The V.I.P. also revealed that there had been contact with the men in the saucers and that on three occasions, there had been landings which had proved disastrous for the occupants. The visitors had apparently been trying to work out a method of remaining alive in our atmosphere before landing and establishing friendly communications.
Another interesting report comes from Frank Scully’s book Behind the Flying Saucers (Amazon link), which was first published in the United States in 1950. The book is one of the first ever written on the UFO phenomenon and describes an electrifying lecture delivered at the University of Denver in Colorado in March 1950. The lecturer, a famous businessman and personality named Silas M. Newton, claimed that there had been three crashed saucers found in the USA, with their dead crews. Newton told his audience that he was currently associated with scientists who had inspected all three machines and their crews. He said that the three machines had contained a total of 34 little men measuring between 36 inches and 40 inches in height. The first saucer was found “less than a year ago” at a place “within 500 miles of Denver.” It was 99.99 feet in diameter, and its cabin was 18 feet wide and 6 feet high. The second machine, 72 feet wide, also contained 16 little dead men who, however, had seemingly not suffered from burns like the crew of the first disc. The third disc, measuring 36 feet in diameter, contained only two little corpses. The little men had apparently been alive when it landed, but had died as they tried to emerge from the cabin.
Alien humanoid based on witness descriptions – allegedly held in cryogenic preservation at Wright-Patterson AFB
There have been long-standing rumors and speculations about the existence of extraterrestrial life forms and their involvement with the United States military, specifically at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. It is believed by some that the base is home to an area known as “Hangar 18,” where the remains of crashed UFOs and even the bodies of extraterrestrial beings are stored and studied. While there is no concrete evidence to support these claims, the rumors persist and continue to fuel the fascination and intrigue surrounding the possibility of alien life and government cover-ups.
Despite the compelling nature of these reports, there has been a great deal of skepticism and controversy surrounding the UFO phenomenon. Many people remain unconvinced, and there have been numerous attempts to discredit those who have come forward with stories of sightings and encounters. One example of this is the case of Frank Scully, whose book Behind the Flying Saucers was met with a powerful campaign to discredit him after it was published in 1950. Scully’s story about the crashed saucers and little dead crews created a sensation, but the campaign against him was 100% successful, and today, it is difficult to find anyone who has a good word to say about him. Nevertheless, researchers have begun to wonder if the exposure was not contrived, given the wealth of evidence that has since emerged about the UFO phenomenon.
One of the most interesting aspects of the UFO phenomenon is the way that it has evolved over time. In the 1950s and 1960s, there was a great deal of excitement and speculation about the possibility of extraterrestrial life and the potential for contact with other civilizations. However, as the years went by, the focus shifted away from this idea, and there was a growing sense of disillusionment with the whole UFO phenomenon. Some researchers began to argue that the UFOs were not extraterrestrial in origin, but rather were some sort of secret military project. Others suggested that they were simply misidentified natural phenomena, such as clouds or planets.
Despite these attempts to explain away the UFO phenomenon, there have been numerous sightings and encounters that remain unexplained to this day. In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in the subject, with a growing number of researchers investigating the possibility of extraterrestrial life and the potential for contact with other civilizations. Advances in technology and scientific knowledge have made it possible to explore the universe in ways that were once impossible, and there is a sense that we may be on the verge of a breakthrough in our understanding of the cosmos.
In conclusion, the reports of crashed saucers, little dead aliens, and UFO sightings and encounters are among the most compelling pieces of evidence in the debate over the existence of extraterrestrial life and the possibility of contact with other civilizations. While there is still a great deal of skepticism and controversy surrounding the subject, it is clear that there is a wealth of evidence that suggests that we are not alone in the universe. As we continue to explore the cosmos and learn more about the mysteries of the universe, it is likely that we will uncover more evidence that will shed light on this fascinating and complex subject.
Caught on Camera and Radar | Kaikoura UFO Lights Incident, New Zealand
Caught on Camera and Radar | Kaikoura UFO Lights Incident, New Zealand
In December of 1978, a series of unexplainable events took place off the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island. These events, collectively known as the Kaikoura lights incident, have been considered some of the best and most credible footage ever captured of an unidentified flying object. The film, taken by a national network news team from the cockpit window of an Argosy cargo plane, made headlines all around the world.
What made the sightings even more bizarre was that they were captured on air traffic control radar too. The story of the Kaikoura lights incident starts in Blenheim, New Zealand, where a warrant officer in ufandel of the Royal New Zealand Air Force was completing final security checks before signing off at Woodburn Air Force base. At 11:30 pm, he noticed what he initially thought to be the landing lights of an aircraft coming in to land, which struck him as odd since there should have been no aircraft in the area at that time of night. He contacted the local air traffic controller, who was equally bewildered but suggested it could be the landing lights of an airplane approaching Wellington, around 80 miles to the north.
Upon contacting the New Zealand central air traffic control tower in Wellington, radar operator John Cordy reported that he had unidentified blips showing on his air traffic control radar. Meanwhile, in Blenheim, police were being inundated with calls from locals reporting strange lights in the night sky out east towards the coast.
At around 2:30 am, an Argosy freighter was on a routine newspaper delivery run from Wellington to Christchurch when Captain Vern Powell and First Officer Ian Perry reported a series of large flashing lights following alongside their aircraft. The lights followed the aircraft for 40 miles before the plane made its eventual touchdown at Christchurch.
The next time the lights appeared, a major network news film crew was on hand to capture it. A Channel Zero news team led by renowned Australian television reporter Quinton Fogerty was sent to Wellington to cover the event. Although it would be the same route but different pilots, Network bosses in Australia had arranged for Fogerty and his team to go up in the Argosy on a nighttime mail run to film the location with the sightings had happened.
Around half an hour into the flight, as the plane tracked along the Kaikoura coast towards Christchurch, Fogerty and his crew heard an urgent call to get up onto the flight deck. They witnessed walls of light that would appear in the sky, pulsating and growing from small pinpricks into great globes of light. Like the earlier incident, the objects appeared on air traffic control radar, and the lights followed the aircraft for around 15 minutes.
The event and subsequent footage taken on board that night made world headlines. To this day, many consider the footage and the events of that night to be one of the best and hardest to explain unidentified flying object sightings ever. The Royal New Zealand Air Force and the New Zealand Police were tasked with investigating the event. The New Zealand Ministry of Defense attributed the events to lights from a squid boat reflecting off the clouds or another natural but unusual phenomenon like Venus atmospheric conditions, a meteor, or even lights from cars or trains.
Declassified military documents from 1978 released under the official information’s act in 2010 stated that the sightings were unique because of a large amount of documented evidence which included countless eyewitnesses, two tape recordings, and the detection of unusual ground and aircraft radar targets. Whether its origins are a rational Earthly explanation or something more difficult to explain, the Kaikoura lights incident remains one of the most intriguing and unexplainable unidentified flying object encounters ever.
The Falcon Lake Incident is a UFO sighting that occurred in 1967 in Manitoba, Canada. The event was investigated by various Canadian and American authorities, including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Royal Canadian Air Force, and the United States Air Force, as well as organizations such as the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization.
The incident involved Stefan Michalak, an industrial mechanic and amateur geologist who was prospecting for precious metals in the Falcon Lake area. Michalak claimed to have seen two objects emitting a reddish glow hovering near him before one of them landed on a nearby platform. He approached the craft and observed its smooth metallic surface, lack of seams, and changing colors. After attempting to communicate with the craft’s occupants, Michalak was hit by a blast of heated gas that burned his chest and stomach.
Michalak suffered from prolonged bouts of diarrhea, headaches, blackouts, and weight loss after the incident. He experienced physical effects consistent with radiation poisoning, but tests administered at Pinawa, Manitoba, came up negative.
Michalak’s account of the incident has been met with skepticism, with some suggesting that his burns were a result of an accident stemming from alcohol use, and that he fabricated the encounter to dissuade competitors from prospecting in his site. However, investigations at the site revealed unusual results, including a circle of burned vegetation and highly radioactive elements within soil samples and clothing.
Regardless of the skeptical opinions, the Falcon Lake Incident remains a fascinating case in the history of UFO sightings. The incident has been the subject of books, a film, and even a commemorative coin issued by the Royal Canadian Mint. Michalak’s son has continued to work with individuals interested in the sighting, and a ranch operating nearby now offers a “UFO Tour” for those wishing to visit the area.

Now this one is very intriguing to me. The craft is almost like Phoenix lights just not as long and shorter time span. What I thought was a plane at first, clearly was something much, much bigger. For this to be a plane, it would have to be 3-4 side by side maneuvering perfectly synchronized together. It's not, it's a UFO.

Eyewitness states:
I felt my room vibrate and this low vibration in my stomach before looking outside and seeing this absolutely massive object passing by my window. I scrambled to grab my phone and record it within the next 12 minutes I saw another massive object, this time it wasn't boomerang shaped, but instead a straight diagonal line going the same direction with the same vibrations and low humming and rumbling sound. Afterwards I saw a star like object moving and got a good recording of it moving.

This seems similar to the UFO lights seen over Florida and Mexico yesterday. This is the same craft or crafts. The lights were visible in several countries and even as far as Oregon, on the west coast of the US, where Florida is on the southern east side of US.

Eyewitness states:
I noticed them at 7pm and took a photo. I took a film then went and got my husband. I took another film before I had to go tend to my son. My husband said they left after about an hour. Right before I took my first picture I heard a moo.
On September 9, 2021 ChuckAstrophotography captured something through his telescope and said that it was the first time that he captured something he can't explain.
Are these objects geosynchronous satellites? But then why are there two of them in the same spot? And if they are locked in place, why aren't they stretched from my 15 second exposure or could it be that these objects are two UFOS flying at high speed through space, he ask himself.
In the past, other sky-watchers have also photographed enormous alien spacecraft that fly through space at high speed, especially near Orion Nebula. The images of these two UFOs captured by ChuckAstrophotography, is again proof that these alien craft exist.

MUST SEE! Massive UFOs Spotted in Montreal: Witness Captures Viral Video
Massive UFOs filmed over Montreal, QB, Canada
Montreal has been a hub of UFO sightings for years, but the latest sighting on March 2nd, 2023, has left witnesses and experts baffled. The witness, whose video recording of the UFOs went viral, reported seeing not one but two massive objects hovering above the city, and a star-like object moving in the sky.
The witness was in their room when they felt a low vibration in their stomach and heard a deep humming and rumbling sound. When they looked outside, they were startled to see a massive boomerang-shaped object passing by their window. The witness quickly grabbed their phone and recorded the object as it continued to move in the same direction.
What is even more surprising is that within the next 12 minutes, the witness spotted another massive object, but this time it was a straight diagonal line going in the same direction as the first object. The witness reported that the second object also had the same vibrations and low humming sound as the first object.
The witness was understandably shaken and could not believe what they were seeing. They recorded the objects and even tried to zoom in on them to get a better view. The witness also noticed that there were airplanes in the sky, but the objects they saw were much larger than any airplane they had ever seen.
The witness’s account of feeling a low vibration in their stomach is also intriguing. Some experts speculate that this could be evidence of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the UFOs. Others suggest that the low vibration could be a physical reaction to the sudden appearance of the objects.
The location of the sighting is also worth noting. Montreal has a long history of UFO sightings, with many reports dating back to the 1960s. Some experts believe that there may be an extraterrestrial base or portal in the area that attracts UFOs.
While there is no conclusive evidence to prove the witness’s sighting as an extraterrestrial encounter, it is undoubtedly a unique and fascinating account that adds to the growing body of evidence of UFO sightings in Montreal. The witness’s video recording has sparked further investigation into the sighting, and we may one day discover the true nature of the objects seen in the sky above Montreal.
For decades, people all over the world have reported seeing UFOs. While many sightings can be easily explained, there are still those that defy explanation. Despite official government denials, the topic of UFOs has remained a source of fascination and speculation for many.
One of the most famous incidents occurred in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. A rancher discovered strange silver debris on his property, and after the military was called to investigate, the story quickly changed from a reported “flying saucer” to a weather balloon. But witnesses and even some military personnel have come forward over the years claiming that it was in fact an extraterrestrial craft that crashed, complete with alien bodies.
While Roswell remains a hot topic, there have been numerous other sightings and encounters reported over the years. In 1952, multiple UFOs were detected on radar over Washington D.C., causing jets to be scrambled to intercept them. But each time the jets arrived, the objects disappeared, leaving officials baffled.
In more recent years, the U.S. Navy announced formal guidelines for pilots and servicemen to report UFO sightings, promising that each account would be taken seriously and investigated. In 2021, a long-awaited government report on UFOs revealed that out of 144 reported encounters, only one was identified as a large deflating balloon, leaving the rest unexplained.
Despite the government’s official stance of denying extraterrestrial contact, some experts and former government officials have suggested that there may be more to the story. Former British Ministry of Defense employee Nick Pope spent 21 years researching and investigating UFO sightings, and even ran the Ministry’s small UFO program from 1991-1994. He believes that there is an “irreducible core” of cases that cannot be explained and that officials should be more open about the phenomenon.
So, what are these mysterious objects in the sky? Are they advanced technology from foreign governments, secret military projects, or could they truly be evidence of extraterrestrial life? While the government may continue to deny the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrial contact, the fascination and speculation surrounding the topic shows no signs of slowing down.

“We Have a Real UFO Problem, and It’s Not Balloons”: A Navy Pilot’s Perspective on Unidentified Flying Objects in Our Airspace
“We Have a Real UFO Problem, and It’s Not Balloons”: A Navy Pilot’s Perspective on Unidentified Flying Objects in Our Airspace
Former Navy pilot Brian Graves recently wrote an article titled “We Have a Real UFO Problem, and It’s Not Balloons” in Politico. The article sheds light on a growing concern among pilots and aviators about unidentified flying objects that have been spotted in our airspace.
Graves has personally witnessed such objects while on duty. In 2015, he recorded an object while aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt, off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida. The object was operating in their vicinity on a regular basis, and Graves and his crew were unable to explain its behavior.
Graves is part of a growing number of pilots who are pushing for legislative action to ensure proper reporting policies are in place for such sightings. He believes that it is critical to understand what is above our heads, both for national security and scientific reasons.
He was not aware of the strange lights until he heard the beat and looked through his binoculars. As the object hovered, he took a couple of photos. Then, a few minutes later, the object disappeared. He wondered if he scared it away with the flashes from his camera.
The All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office within the Department of Defense is currently looking into the matter from the angle of national security. The recent shootdowns of such objects have highlighted the seriousness of the issue, even if they are just balloons.
What makes these objects particularly concerning is their ability to perform behaviors that are beyond our current understanding of technology. These objects can stay stationary in high winds with no visible means of lift and can maintain speeds of up to 350 knots for many hours on end.
Ex-Navy pilot says he saw UFOs that did things his plane could not do – Interview with Brian Graves
Graves and his crew have used a multitude of sensors on their aircraft to detect these objects within a sensor network. When they correlate the radar tracks with their infrared camera systems and move in closer to detect them with their eyeballs, they have high confidence in what they’re experiencing. The objects are performing a number of behaviors that they don’t recognize.
Despite the seriousness of the issue, there are still pilots and aviators who do not feel comfortable reporting these sightings. Graves hopes to change that by pushing for legislative action that would encourage reporting and ensure that pilots and aviators feel comfortable coming forward.
In conclusion, the issue of unidentified flying objects in our airspace is a growing concern among pilots and aviators. Graves and others are pushing for legislative action to ensure that proper reporting policies are in place and that pilots and aviators feel comfortable reporting such sightings. The fact that these objects can perform behaviors beyond our current understanding of technology is particularly concerning and highlights the need for further investigation.
The Canadian government's top scientist has launched a study into unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP: a term that is replacing "UFO" and "unidentified flying object" in official circles.
Known as the "Sky Canada Project," the study, being conducted by the Office of the Chief Science Advisor of Canada, is the first known official Canadian UFO research effort in nearly 30 years.
According to a February 2023 PowerPoint presentation obtained by CTVNews.ca, the study seeks to understand how UAP reports are handled in Canada, and to offer recommendations for improvements if needed.
The project plans to collect information this winter and spring before preparing an internal draft report in the fall, and a final public report in the winter or spring of 2024.
"Who is compiling and analyzing UAP observations made by Canadians?" the first page of the slide deck asks. Public records and declassified documents show the answer may involve federal transportation officials, the Canadian air force and more.
The nine-page presentation is currently circulating within federal organizations that have been approached for input, including Transport Canada, the Canadian Space Agency and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. A government source with knowledge of the project provided the document to CTVNews.ca on condition of anonymity. In an email to CTVNews.ca, the Office of the Chief Science Advisor confirmed its authenticity.
"Any emerging technology or unexplained phenomenon that is reported in the media is of interest to our office," a spokesperson told CTVNews.ca.
Page 4 of the presentation outlines motivations behind the Sky Canada Project, which include supporting science to "document rare natural phenomena," encouraging transparency and information access to "prevent conspiracy theories," and aiding national security to "prevent undetected intrusions."
It also lists preparing for collaboration with U.S. officials, where both the Pentagon and NASA are studying UAP, as well as responding to "an official request" to "undertake a comprehensive study on UAPs in Canada" from Larry Maguire, the Conservative member of parliament for Brandon-Souris in Manitoba.
"The Chief Science Advisor’s project is a signal to the government, the scientific community, the media, and Parliament that they can no longer ignore this," Maguire told CTVNews.ca. Maguire has been publicly advocating for a program like this since May 2022. "The vast majority of reports should be explainable and that’s where we need the Sky Canada Project to lay out a scientific plan to do that. The government needs to quickly and accurately determine what is in our skies with a high degree of confidence."
A UFO Study Is Now Underway In Canada & It Comes As Residents Are Reporting More Sightings

'WE NEED A WHOLE-OF-GOVERNMENT APPROACH'
News of the project comes amid heightened interest in so-called unidentified aerial phenomena following the February 2023 downing of a suspected Chinese spy balloon and three unidentified objects in North American airspace.
Canada's Chief Science Advisor post was created in 2017 to promote scientific independence and provide impartial advice to the prime minister and cabinet. Led by cardiovascular scientist and former University of Ottawa vice-president of research Mona Nemer, the office has published reports on topics such as COVID-19, aquaculture and open science. It currently has a team of about 20 people and an annual budget of nearly $4 million. Operating at arm's length from the government, Nemer reports to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry François-Philippe Champagne.
"My motivation for specifically asking the Chief Science Advisor to undertake this initiative is that we need a fresh set of eyes to investigate this issue and I wanted her office to outline specific recommendations the government can implement," Maguire said. "We need a whole-of-government approach, which should include open data. It’s long past time to involve academics, researchers and experts to bear down with the aim of investigating the origin and intent of UAP."
The presentation makes it clear that Sky Canada does not intend to transform the Office of the Chief Science Advisor into "the main point of contact for Canadians wanting to report observations."
"(Sky Canada) is not meant to access and collect first-hand data," the slides explain. "It is not meant to prove or deny the existence of extraterrestrial life or extraterrestrial visitors."
The presentation also includes questions for organizations Sky Canada reaches out to about their experiences, expertise and suggestions for improvements: "Do you have equipment that collects information on activities in the sky?" and "Is there a follow-up with individuals reporting observations?"
Transport Canada cautions such "reports contain preliminary, unconfirmed data which can be subject to change." A spokesperson from Transport Canada previously told CTVNews.ca that UAP-related reports "often fall outside the department’s mandate" and are "rarely" followed up on.
Aviation-related UAP reports can also be forwarded to a Norad-linked Royal Canadian Air Force squadron. For its part, the Canadian military routinely states that it does "not typically investigate sightings of unknown or unexplained phenomena outside the context of investigating credible threats, potential threats, or potential distress in the case of search and rescue." Before the downing of the three unidentified objects in February 2023, at least four cases appear to have met that criteria since 2016.
Documents viewed by CTVNews.ca show Canadians have also reported UFO sightings to the Canadian Space Agency and the RCMP.
As CTV reports, federal organizations have been contacted for their input, including the Canadian Space Agency, Transport Canada, and the RCMP.
'WE ARE YEARS BEHIND THE AMERICANS'
With the Sky Canada Project, Canada will be following the lead of the U.S., where the subject is being studied by both the Pentagon and NASA. A headline-grabbing June 2021 report from U.S. intelligence officials described recent military sightings, including UAP that appeared to "manoeuver abruptly, or move at considerable speed, without discernable means of propulsion." NASA is expected to publish its own UAP report in mid-2023.
"We are years behind the Americans," Maguire said. "It is abundantly clear there is no co-ordination among government departments to analyze or investigate UAP reports. As of right now, there is very little being done.”
Winnipeg-based UFO researcher and science writer Chris Rutkowski says the last known official Canadian involvement in the subject ended in 1995, when the National Research Council of Canada stopped collecting reports.
"Working with a group of scientists focused on gathering instrumented UAP observations… would be desirable as a way of studying the UAP problem objectively and with sound methodology," Rutkowski previously told CTVNews.ca.
Records reviewed by CTVNews.ca show the Office of the Chief Science Advisor of Canada has been looking into the topic since at least mid-2021, around the same time then-Canadian defence minister Harjit Sajjan received a UAP briefing from his staff, according to a CTVNews.ca investigation. CTVNews.ca also previously reported that members of the Pentagon's UAP Task Force briefed Canadian military personnel nearly a year ago, in February 2022, and that Transport Minister Omar Alghabra's staff held their own internal UAP briefing in May 2022.
Maguire hopes developments like these will help break the stigma of reporting and studying UAP in Canada.
"The Chief Science Advisor’s team has the appropriate clearances to dig deep into the existing data and must be given access to everything," Maguire told CTVNews.ca. "If the Chief Science Advisor’s office is given complete access to all the information and intelligence our government currently possesses, and her report can publicly reveal it, we will be having a much different conversation. Canadians have a right to know what their tax dollars are being spent on."
Paul Delaney is an emeritus professor of physics and astronomy at York University in Toronto. Delaney doubts UAP represent extraterrestrial technology, and thinks the vast majority of sightings can be attributed to balloons, drones, celestial objects like Venus, and both known and experimental aircraft. Delaney nonetheless acknowledges that a small percentage of cases remain unexplained and believes it's a subject worthy of further scientific investigation.
"The more insight and fact finding that can be brought to bear on this subject the better," Delaney told CTVNews.ca. "Credible observations can only improve our understanding of UFO/UAPs."
A nine-page presentation on the Sky Canada Project was provided to CTVNews.ca by a government source on condition of anonymity. The study into unidentified aerial phenomena by the Office of the Chief Science Advisor of Canada will culminate in the release of a public report by mid-2024.

Canada's top scientist will conduct a study of UFOs with several goals, including the prevention of "conspiracy theories," according to a report published Wednesday.
The Sky Canada Project will compile information on UFOs -- now referred to as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) in scientific jargon -- and release the findings in 2024.
The information will "identify the key Canadian players and how they deal with UAP observations" as well as "compare the Canadian approach with some G7 countries' systems." It will also be used to "prepare for collaboration" with US initiatives on UAPs.
With those goals in mind, a nine-point presentation produced by the Office of the Chief Science Advisor of Canada is making the rounds in various federal agencies, including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Canada Space Agency. It is an information-gathering exercise on UFOs.
The science office also wants reports from journalists to "collect observations to document rare natural phenomena," according to the Sky Canada Project presentation.
"Any emerging technology or unexplained phenomenon that is reported in the media is of interest to our office," a spokesperson for the government science office told CTV News.
The presentation lists several instances that are connected with unexplained objects in the sky, including "three videos declassified by the (US) Pentagon in 2020 (and) four unauthorized flying objects (shot) down by NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command)" in February.
The hope is that the report will serve to nip conspiracy theories in the bud by "giving access to collected information" and enhance national security by the prevention of "undetected intrusions" into Canadian territory.
The presentation is emphatic about what it is not intended to do.
"It is not meant to prove or deny the existence of extraterrestrial life or extraterrestrial visitors," said the presentation.
As far back as 2019, Navy officials briefed certain members of the Congressional Armed Services and Intelligence committees that some strange UFOs had strong potential to be conventional counterintelligence-related security threats, the Washington Examiner has learned. Congress was also told repeatedly that the primary purpose of Navy investigations was not to look for UFOs but to address flight safety concerns.
A number of personnel speaking to the Washington Examiner on the condition of anonymity say that they believe that the leadership of the now-defunct Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force co-opted reports of what were likely foreign espionage tools involving small balloons or drones in order to characterize them as extraordinary for purposes of personal bias. They believe that military flight crews were sometimes ill-served by the manner in which their witness reporting was later presented by the UAP Task Force as evidence of truly extraordinary, rather than more conventionally explainable, UFOs belonging to a foreign government.
These reports created tension among the Defense Department, other government officials, and the UAP Task Force. That task force was established to investigate reports of "unidentified aerial phenomena," otherwise known as unidentified flying objects, in deference to growing flight safety concerns. The government's UFO investigation is now supervised by, but not wholly dependent upon, the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office. This office is attempting to identify the origin, capability, and mission of UFOs feasibly affecting U.S. interests.

Relevant to the now-public activity of Chinese surveillance balloons, there have been tensions over whether some recently militarily recorded UFOs were truly extraordinary or whether they were suspected Chinese intelligence devices.
To be clear, a 2022 intelligence community report identifies a small subset of UFOs recorded by the U.S. military as exhibiting "unusual flight characteristics or performance capabilities." Indicative of intelligent control, some of these UFOs evince exceptionally advanced technologies beyond anything in the possession of any nation. They fit with a historic range of witness and data recordings reaching back decades.
A particularly striking UFO incident involving the Navy occurred in 2004. Other notable reports include incidents in 1957, 1968, and others involving nuclear weapons facilities. Congress almost certainly would not have legislated the improved analysis of these UFOs without the efforts of officials such as Luis Elizondo, who formerly headed the Pentagon's UFO investigations effort. The White House recently underlined the stigma attached to UFOs by making jokes about the movie E.T.
Yet China is the U.S. intelligence community's primary concern across a range of areas and the U.S. military's top priority amid escalating tensions over Taiwan. China's balloon program has been a known U.S. intelligence concern for a number of years, with the People's Liberation Army itself identifying its balloon intelligence activities in 2021. The operational security characterizing China's aerial intelligence efforts proximate to U.S. airspace has been impressive. The Washington Examiner understands that U.S. government searches of civilian freighters and domestic locations both turned up only limited evidence of where suspected surveillance devices are being operated from.
As reported by the Drive and others, China's intelligence efforts off U.S. coasts have been bold. But officials say the Chinese balloons have been a well-known foreign intelligence concern for a number of years. They say that the UAP Task Force, then led by Jay Stratton, was reluctant to confront the balloon UFO consideration. Stratton's relationship with Tom DeLonge, a musician who established a UFO research group, and his association with research at Skinwalker Ranch (where anomalous phenomena have been reported) also raised concerns with the Navy.
Stratton adamantly resists this characterization and rejects the aforementioned claim of other officials that the UFO task force was primarily focused on air safety. In a statement to the Washington Examiner, he asserted,"No one involved with the Pentagon’s UAP Task Force ever labeled something a UAP, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, if it was identified as anything known or if it performed in a similar manner to known conventional technology, obviously including balloons. Anyone suggesting otherwise is simply trying to mislead the public into thinking very real UAP are balloons."
Regardless, one key contention was whether radar returns indicating some UFOs traveling at very high speed (multi-Mach) were truly unconventional UFOs or simply balloons producing bad data returns due to their particular physical profile. Directly knowledgeable personnel convinced of the latter scenario felt ignored by leaders in Congress and the Pentagon when they offered their concerns. They say they believed that the UAP Task Force was diverting government resources to researching truly unconventional UFOs at the expense of addressing Chinese balloons. It bears noting, however, that some UFO reports include military eyewitness sightings of apparently sizable vehicles performing extraordinary maneuvers (with apparently corroborating radar/other sensor recordings of the same object). This type of UFO is not what the complainant sources are referring to.
China has taken advantage of the stigma associated with the UFO subject for its espionage efforts. The PLA explicitly notes that "balloons are emerging as viable, capable alternatives to aerial weapons that are less likely to be detected by enemy air defenses or often mistaken for UFOs." This assessment reflects the difficulty of even advanced radar systems to sustain accurate tracks on balloons. Active electronically scanned array radar systems deployed on fighter jets often struggle to produce accurate data returns onballoons and helicopters.
The outstanding question: whether a willingness by senior Pentagon and congressional leaders to allow foreign intelligence devices to be cataloged or otherwise ignored as unexplained UFOs has granted China freedom to conduct aggressive intelligence collection activities. Top line: The U.S. has an interest in understanding truly extraordinary UFOs, but also effectively assessing and responding to more conventional foreign threats.

EXCLUSIVE: Metallic-looking orb is seen flying over Iraqi city of Mosul in 2016 - first ever publicly revealed UFO footage taken by US spy plane in a conflict zone - as expert warns of 'significant risk' to troops overseas
DailyMail.com has exclusively obtained an image of a 'metallic' orb flying over Mosul, Iraq in April 2016, from footage taken by a US intelligence-recon plane
It was obtained by journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp, who have released the image on their new UFO podcast, 'Weaponized'
The sighting in a conflict zone where the US military is operating has sparked security and safety concerns at the Department of Defense
DailyMail.com obtained an exclusive image of a metallic-looking orb flying over an Iraqi city, caught on video by a US spy plane.
The image, captured in April 2016 by an intelligence-reconnaissance plane, was included in a classified briefing video on UFOs shown to multiple US government agencies.
The briefing video describes it as a 'short clip of an unidentified flying orb that appears to have a metallic shine on its surface', and shows the strange object flying over the city of Mosul in northern Iraq with the background of the shot showing the streets below.
It is the first publicly revealed image from the US government's ongoing UFO investigation showing an unidentified craft over a conflict zone.
A UFO flying around where the US military is operating has sparked security and safety concerns at the Department of Defense, with military officials worried it could endanger pilots and ground troops.
An image obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com of what appears to be a metallic-looking orb flying over Mosul, Iraq in April 2016, was included in a classified briefing video on UFOs shown to multiple US government agencies
(image credit: DoD/Jeremy Corbell)
One intelligence source said the video was sent to the Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia, where imagery and electronic signals intelligence experts studied it for United States Central Command (CENTCOM)
Although the image itself is not classified, footage from which the image was captured was part of a classified briefing produced by the Pentagon's Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), a unit tasked with investigating UFO incidents, which has now been replaced by another office in the Department of Defense.
The briefing describes and shows the UFO as moving from south to north, adding that it does not appear to descend.
In a four-second video titled 'Mosul Orb' included in the briefing, the UFO appears for one second as it flies alongside the MC-12 spy plane.
The photo was obtained by documentary filmmaker and investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell (pictured) and journalist George Knapp
Intriguingly, the object appears to have no apparent flight surfaces like wings, or discernible propulsion.
An intelligence source with operational knowledge of the footage said it was filmed using 'FMV [full motion video] by DGS-1' – implying that the plane sensors captured infra-red and other data when it filmed the UFO.
DailyMail.com understands that officials who assembled the briefing video believe the 'orb' was under intelligent control.
One intelligence source said the video was sent to the Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia, where imagery and electronic signals intelligence experts studied it for United States Central Command (CENTCOM).
Despite being analyzed and studied by intelligence experts for over six years, the incident remains unexplained.
DailyMail.com can now reveal that the case formed part of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) Preliminary Assessment on UFOs, a report published in May 2021 which analyzed 144 cases and found an explanation for just one.
It comes a few months after the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) published a second UFO report this month, which said it has analyzed 510 cases up to August 30, 2022
The ODNI published a second report this month, which said it has analyzed 510 cases up to August 30, 2022.
One source who had seen the report described dozens of videos on classified servers showing metallic-looking orbs captured by US spy planes or drones in the Middle East – similar to the image released today.
'These drones operate 20-25,000 feet up in the air and they're flying around. We're keeping an eye on bad guys all over the world,' the source said.
'An operator will be zoomed in looking at a town in Syria. And all of a sudden, a little orb will go flying through the viewfinder.
'The operator's like, ''What the hell?'' And so he starts focusing on it and he just watches the orb for a while. We might get it for 30 seconds, we might watch it for 10 minutes. And then it will do something remarkable, like suddenly bolt off the screen.'
The image obtained by DailyMail.com was taken at 9:47am Coordinated Universal Time on April 16, 2016, according to its timestamp.
There were also precise coordinates of where the image was taken in northern Iraq, but Corbell told DailyMail.com he removed them out of an abundance of caution to avoid the release of sensitive information.
CENTCOM forces have been deployed in the Middle East since 2014 to conduct military operations against ISIS.
DailyMail.com understands that Congressional intelligence and defense committees have seen the image and footage, as part of a briefing given by the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), a previous incarnation of the government's UFO office.
In May 2021, Corbell published videos from the warship incidents that set social media ablaze
Still images and briefing slides from a video show a spherical object diving into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California in 2019. Jeremy Corbell told DailyMail.com last June that the video shows 'FLIR [forward looking infrared] data' that is complimented by the radar footage
Corbell and Knapp said they will be releasing information, photos and videos in the podcast that they have been holding for 'years'
Corbell said that the briefing presentation was updated on shared classified intelligence servers on November 4, 2021, to encourage and inform reporting of UFOs by armed forces personnel – and that it has been shared with the wider intelligence community to keep them updated about UFO incursions into sensitive airspace.
He said the spherical shape of the object captured in Iraq is reminiscent of similar UFOs encountered by naval aviators operating on the US east and west coast every day, but is more complicated since it is occurring in an active conflict zone.
'For the first time, we are releasing a military-filmed image of a UAP over an active conflict zone,' Corbell said. 'This is an entirely different scenario to the east and west Coast incursions over training ranges.
'UAP [unidentified anomalous phenomena] pose significant risk to our service men and women, and this case highlights this – and is unfortunately not unique.
'This is not just about safety concerns to pilots and ground troops. Its potential consequences are far deeper. And the scope is now proven to be global.'
A source close to the military's current UFO investigations office, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), said there are 'more cases like this one'.
'We have investigated a lot of UAP cases over the years and there are many more cases like this one. And this one was indeed part of the official UAP investigations by the UAPTF and now DoD's AARO. And it is still unresolved.'
Corbell added: 'No matter where UFOs are from, it is now openly admitted by our Department of Defense that they are appearing with an increased frequency worldwide.
'UAP, at minimum, pose a fundamental intelligence and combat identification problem that must be addressed.
'It's time to acknowledge the UFO problem, and I am hopeful that ARRO and its stakeholders will dedicate robust resources to this enduring mystery on behalf of the American and global public.'
This case has emerged following the approval by President Joe Biden of the Fiscal 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, which contains provisions relating to UFOs.

One clause in the new law offers protections for any whistleblowers coming forward to congress in classified briefings to disclose any previously hidden programs on 'unidentified anomalous phenomena' involving 'material retrieval, material analysis' and even 'reverse engineering' and 'developmental or operational testing'.
In May last year Congress held its first hearing on UFOs in 50 years.
He gained notoriety after producing a popular Netflix documentary on Bob Lazar, who claims to have worked at the infamous Area 51 in Nevada on recovered alien spacecraft.
George Knapp, who reports for Las Vegas CBS affiliate KLAS-TV, became a noted figure among UFO enthusiasts after his first interview with Lazar in 1989, and has written books on the government's UFO programs. He has won two Peabody awards and other gongs for his reporting.
Corbell and Knapp said they will be releasing information, photos and videos in the podcast that they have been holding for 'years'.
The first episode, released today, includes audio of an interview with a naval officer from the USS Paul Hamilton who witnessed alleged UFOs swarming the ship in July 2019.
'It was actually coming from the west,' the officer told Corbell in the recording. 'Over water away from land, I mean like, the only thing we have over there is Hawaii, which is probably the closest thing west of us.'
Other witnesses say the alleged UFOs 'shot down beams of light', and swarmed several other ships that were also conducting exercises in the Pacific Ocean off the US west coast that month.
Last year the Pentagon said they had identified the craft as drones, but could not confirm where they came from or who operated them. Corbell's witness was skeptical of the drone theory.
'They would depart on different bearings that they would come in from,' the officer said.
'Pretty constantly, it would be a different bearing, which is weird right, like so if you deploy a drone to check something out, it would come. So that was something significant enough for us.'
