What was the first alien sighting

Evidence of this view can be found in the 11th-century Bayeux Tapestry, which chronicles the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England in CE. The famous Halley's Comet zoomed through the inner solar system that same year, and the foot-long 70 meters tapestry depicts it blazing ominously above the head of England's King Harold II. Harold was crowned on Jan. People think it an evil omen and grow terrified.

News of the comet is brought to Harold. Beneath him, a ghostly fleet of ships appears in the lower border, a hint of the Norman invasion to come. The UFO phenomenon as we know it today is much more recent, dating to the era of powered flight. This makes a lot of sense; there weren't nearly as many flying objects to be puzzled by in William the Conqueror's day. They called these curiosities "foo fighters," a term better known today as the band fronted by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl.

Then, in June , American businessman and aviator Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine shiny, mysterious craft zipping through the skies near Washington's Mount Rainier. Some newspaper stories described these UFOs as "flying disks" or "flying saucers," and the latter term soon wormed its way into the public consciousness.

One of the items the Times picked up was the discovery of some seemingly exotic wreckage on a ranch in Lincoln County, New Mexico in In July of that year, a public information officer at the relatively nearby Roswell Army Air Field described the debris as a "flying disk," briefly igniting a firestorm of confused interest.

Army officials quickly retracted that statement, explaining that the material in question was the remains of a crashed weather balloon, and the " Roswell incident " faded into obscurity. It came roaring back three decades later, however, revived by UFO enthusiasts who claimed that the U. Some conspiracists believe the wreckage was spirited to a hush-hush military site in southern Nevada called Area 51 , where study of the aliens and their craft continues to this day.

The U. The Air Force established Project Sign to this end in , then followed that with the similarly short-lived Project Grudge in The more well-known Project Blue Book got started in and ran all the way to , examining more than 12, UFO reports along the way. One of the sightings Project Blue Book investigated was that of Betty and Barney Hill, who claimed they were captured and examined by extraterrestrials in rural New Hampshire in September The couple's account started getting picked up by newspapers in , becoming the first-ever widely publicized alien-abduction story, as History.

Related: UFO watch: 8 times the government looked for flying saucers. UFO sightings didn't end when Project Blue Book wrapped up, of course; they've kept on rolling in over the decades. Some of the most famous ones in the past half-century include that of Travis Walton, an Arizona man whose alien-abduction claim was dramatized in the film "Fire in the Sky;" the Rendlesham Forest incident, a string of mysterious observations near England's Royal Air Force Woodbridge station in December ; and the Phoenix Lights, which confused many Arizonans in March And, in November , several U.

Navy pilots flying off the coast of San Diego reported seeing bizarre craft zooming through the sky , seemingly maneuvering in ways that exceeded the limits of known technology. Other Navy pilots had similar experiences off the U.

East Coast a decade later, making a series of intriguing observations from June to March The pilots captured infrared video of some of these encounters using their onboard camera systems. Augusta mint of how War advanced little planet was the dropped off humans here or their aircraft broke down million years more advanced.

The biggest Lan blonder I have ever heard someone was under directly under an aircraft claimed was adopted I think just got song. This is just about proof that this group of aliens have never kidnapped anyone they probably never even heard of how to do it attempt good medical service.

Come to think of it their computer what are told them if he was knocked out or dead or unconscious before they even got out of their aircraft to pick him up. I was one of the folks that called in the sighting in Traveling from New Milford to Roxbury. The craft was eerily silent as it slowly flew over. It was enormous. Interesting reading. I myself have seen three separate crafts. One in Hubbardston, one in sterling, and one in maine. Skeptics would quickly change their mind if they had a close encounter with a UFO.

I had a UFO hovering over my car while I was traveling down i going approximately miles per hour. Another factoid about the Air Force. In the mid-west KS to ND there are many missile silos with hatches and in ground control rooms.

Many times the missiles were rendered inop by some sort of electrical impulses. This is well documented and can be searched. Being a Air Force guy and was due to take missile training, it hits close to home.

The missiles were the first line of defense for the country. They had the Atlas missiles then. In the Exeter Incident incident it was mentioned that a KC was the light source. This is total bull. I got out in Sept Observe what they did to the Rosewell NM incident. Operation Blue Book has documented many incidences.

There are now high resolution cameras in the hands of nearly every man, woman and child in the United States — so where are all the recent images of UFOs?

Did they all stop coming once the smartphone was invented? This is way off subject I do believe in afterlife but I believe it is a nature thing afterlife even if God did set up after life when something is automatic it is considered nature so it would lose all credit. Objects hover to high up, just above the clouds. They blend with the stars but if you look closely you notice that all are identical.

Fuzzy light with a little red light on top. Noticed these objects, about 30 of them varies though since October Actually see them almost every night. Going to get a telescope that hooks up to my phone and try to take pics that way. Stay tuned. Rochester NH I lived on a farm and can remember this as thought it happened yesterday. It was summer I believe and my parents, grandmother and a friend of the family were chatting at the kitchen table when I went out to bring water to our dog.

She was on a run under a huge yrs old maple tree. A brilliant light shown down through the tree on me but there was no noise. I immediately ran, screaming, into the house. My family tried to calm me down and we all went outside to see what was going on.

There was nothing there. I was about 12 years old. We came over a hill, driving toward Rochester when we saw a round object in the sky to the East, rotating with multi color lights. We all saw it. I believe it also, was not of this world. We never spoke of it again until recently I asked my mom if she remembered and she said she did. I believe the UFO I saw was a alien not so advanced some of these alien UFO sightings balls and lights what have you are probably millions of years more advanced.

I forgot to say the UFO I saw was not being held up by air I would have heard it they must have a flotation device probably helium in the walls cuz they parked in the air with no sound. Despite what you had to say, This 1 long rambling, hokey, statement has no periods and was not written well in English. This the plight of America today! I thought about it some more the UFOs would make perfect delivery vehicles self fueling free delivery very fast probably a million years without a tune-up they could use even old ones the Warren up-to-date for deliveries no driver needed that has to be it.

Could be the different planets dropped off their style of animals and everything else along with their type of people on different continents and then again possibly not. My son was 13 at the time. One of us usually picked him up after school but that day he was walking home up the hill alone.

At the point in the road where the road turned to go up the mountain he saw something out of the corner of his eye. He described it as a large rectangle as big as a football stadium with lights on the three points and making no sound at all. He said it communicated to him without words and he knew they wanted to take him. He was frightened and told them not to take him as he was my only child and it would kill me.

As quickly as it came, it was gone and he flagged a car down going up the mountain and went home. I was on my way home from work getting off exit 8 in Warner. I saw what I thought was a squadron of airplanes out of the corner of my eye but then a large triangle object crossed my car and was gone. When I got home my son came running out shaking all over and telling me about it and I told him I had seen it too.

We then stood on the deck and watched military planes come from three directions and take off after it. He told me that after he got home the object had circled back and came over our house and stayed there. As it turned out that object was seen from through New York and beyond. A father of a friend of his video taped it and the next day some men came and took the camera. Many years later he told me he was missing a couple of hours. Jo Ellen Ryan, New Hampshire. I take some of that statement back I do think the exhaust is designed who likes show The Mark of there planet.

Does anyone remember the incident around North Marshfield, MA, in ish? Lights were seen popping up over the treeline and, according to a Boston Globe article a few days later, whatever was going on was seen by many on the South Shore over a couple of nights. I was one of them. It started about at night and I remember checking the time on the kitchen clock.

I stood in the kitchen window and watched lights flying around the field next to my house. MUFON came to investigate with a team and asked some pointed questions.

They also went across the road into the woods with equipment to investigate. There were five huge lights and they were highly maneuverable and very white and bright. They were in formation and then seemed to be checking out the area flying in and out of the trees and across the field. The lights were observed particularly in the area of North Marshfield and in the communities along the North River, according to the Boston Globe. My encounter happened Dec 24 approx midnight.

We lived in Webster Ma. This happened at the Lakeside beach area off of Lower Gore. As we came around to the beach I saw to my left just above the trees about 30 ft up what looked to me like a sledge like thing with colored lights on it.

I saw red green white lights. There was absolutely no sound. There is more to the story, but has anyone else experienced anything in that area? In I was with college friends and we would go around the lakes to get to places in Elmsford. I recall vividly that it was a lovely clear evening and school was close to ending.

As we got around the first bend and first unobstructed view of the lake on the left there were cars parked all over where normally there are none and people staring up in the sky. We quickly parked and got out and, above us were these rings of brilliant lights just like the Etting photo. Except the craft was level, it made no sound and just slowly crossed above our heads.

And then with speed unlike anything, it was just gone. Early in the evening about 10 of us were hanging out on a second floor outdoor terrace when above the tree line about yards away appeared a UFO with the same multi colored lights as seen in the Newtown photo.

The lights rotated in a circular motion around the object which was completely silent and hovering. All of our jaws were on the floor until after a minute or two it accelerate into the sky and out of site at an amazing rate of speed, maybe 2 seconds and it was gone all without a sound. Four of us saw a weird metallic green orb way up in the sky. It was very high up and small to us. It seemed still. Suddenly it was just gone and minutes later several jet fighters flew in the same spot we saw this Orb.

We sat quietly for a while and we still dont know what it may have been and why the jets? You just never see jet fighters flying in that area. I recall a terrifying incident when I was a child. We had a camp on Rangely lake. It was between and I was sleeping in my bed and I saw a bright light outside my window, the next thing I remember I saw three beings standing beside my bed. They were no more than 4 feet tall they were all the same color grayish with big heads and bigeyes.

I was so scared laying in my bed I touched my eyeball with my finger to see if I was dreaming. And then suddenly they disappeared. They are trying to make contact It happened to me on a forest … In America the media and governments made people feel weird … but check Jaime Maussan tercer milenio or gaia website. But he cannot talk.

You left out a sighting which occurred over 50 years ago in Beverly, Mass. Here is information on the sighting.. It was about We all turned around to see a ship moving in our direction. I had a low humming sound and was about a half a mile up from my back yard.

Beyond that… we all must have just walked away.. I just cant remember anything. I have since heard of other people who have had similar experiences. This is in response to the request for UFO stories. I was a junior in high school. As a result, naturally, with us being on the bases every week, of course, we saw things that civilians would never see. One afternoon, my girlfriend Joan, and I in my Ford, and my buddy Billy, who played drums in our band and his girlfriend Kim, in his Corvair were all heading down route in Kingston, Rhode Island approaching the fairgrounds in West Kingston.

I noticed, in the sky to my left towards the fairgrounds, what I thought to be a blimp sitting there in the sky. Just sitting there — not making a sound at all. So, because I was in the lead. I pulled right into the field on the left, and parked my car, and Joan and I got out.

Billy and Kim follow me right in the field, with them getting out too. We all sat on our car hoods looking up into the sky at this cigar-shaped looking object. Back in the 60s, no-one was talking about UFO sightings and it never even entered our minds — until years later when I actually sat back and thought about it. This event actually, truly happened. We were outside in a protected courtyard, clear blue sky. A round silver object flew overhead, from my right to left.

At first I thought it was a plane so I stood up to watch. The object stopped, made 2 circles rotating from left to right, then shot off away from where it was, heading to the south very fast. It disappeared in a matter of seconds. I may have seen this also. I thought it was a military drone flying dangerously low and fast. It was broad daylight, flying right above the trees at maybe mph.

All reports will be kept anonymous and confidential. Saw two white bright objects above Philadelphia tonight. Never saw something like this before. With binoculars I could see a ring of lights to both ends. After dawn I saw another object which glowed yellow to orange and seemed to raise fast into the stratosphere. Binoculars revealed that it had a blinking light from within.

Could not see it after a while as it went higher up. I assume you may know about this sighting, but back in I first reported on my blog and the story was subsequently picked up by the local news, albeit with less detail and none of the follow up about a series of reports of an unidentified flying object near Amherst MA and Pioneer Valley beyond. Links to the first story lead to follow up reports, including similar reports by other people.

A few years back, I was living in Agawam in the pioneer valley. I came out to my kitchen on a very cold january night. Single digits, full moon, not a cloud in the sky. I was immediately caught up with how bright it was for being roughly am. As I sat there staring at it, I saw that it was actually moving at a slow noiseless pace.

The bright light then seemingly blew up into a cluster of several lights. Lightish blue, and like an amber orange that began circling the original object. I tried taking pictures, could not get the resolution of the lights, which was maddening. Especially considering I watched the object for over 30 minutes as it limped southwest towards the area of Southwick MA, until it was eventually out of sight.

I immediately reported it to mufon, with the lack luster photos I did take. Was so happy after checking back, that a man in Southwick had also seen it, and reported it to Mufon. With complete time verification, meaning I saw it headed his way, and his report was less than an hour after I saw it. He had been apparently walking his dog.

Always wished I could have talked to him in person about it, but Mufon kept his info private. That validation does a lot for us lucky enough to see one of these things. I was about 5 years old when I seen a UFO in our house.

It was approximately 2 foot wide and a little smaller in height. My mother was having a Tupperware party. I tried to get her attention, however she was busy chatting with her friends.

I stared at it and the thing inside was watching the the Tupperware sales person. She was very tall dirty blonde white long sleeved shirt with a black vest. She had knee high boots black nylons on with a mid length black skirt.

Which I think was leather. I was amazed. There were balloons near the UFO. I yelled one more time and the little thing looked at me tilted its head and waved with his gloved had fingers up and down motion. It was a green with round black coverings on its eyes. Really yelled and looked at my mom then looked back and it was gone.

Years later I had a child. When he was almost 3 he dragged me in his room and was excited to show me something in there that I could not see. He was pointing and laughing with excitement. I ran and got my neighbor which my child tried to show her as well.

I do believe it came back. My son has no recollection of any of this but us very successful. Where was the river that the fishermen where delivered to the head of? My grandfather told me this and his own story of the area and mentioned a name, bungiewa or something like that. He said there was a heavy mist and a very strange feeling and time stopped and then he felt the ground move and felt sick. Just trying to figure out where this was. A light came across a field next to my home, hovered directly overhead, less than feet, hovering, no noise or downdraft noted.

I panicked and ran behind my car. Not sure where I got the nerve but jumped in car and folded it to main road where it hovered across the street at telephone pole height. Followed it as it paced my speed at treetop level into next town where I lost sight. Drove home and it flew over my home as I got out of car. Stayed up all night looking but did not see it again that night. I have several hundred photos ans some video of? I have no idea but they are something very strange.

Does anyone know where these can be analyzed? What the hell. Even if they are nothing, I still want to know. UFO aliens from outer space would not be stupid to come to earth get stuck here and get taxed to death. On a serious note: The public lacks good instrumented sighting information to know what they are looking at.

In the late summer of , my brother and I were coming home from a banjo session in Cumberland, traveling south on Rt , when we saw a football field size craft slowly and silently traverse a five mile stretch of highway. We saw it in the distance as a set of slow moving lights, but the closer got, it was imperative to pull over and get out to observe.

It was about feet up, filling the night sky, and utterly silent. We watched in awe as it passed over. Only after we got back in the car and go down the freeway did we notice other cars pulled over, maybe 15 over the half mile, including two separate state troopers, one on either side of the road. That was 30 years ago. Things change, but very slowly when it comes to UFOs. I pulled my truck over to get out, and get a better look. The light was slowly changing from a whitish yellow, to orange, over and over.

As it hovered above us it made absolutely no noise. Get back in the car!! Maybe it was some kind of Military Drone? One thing is for sure, it was very strange. I felt like it was, wanting to be seen. After hovering completely still…. It disappeared. In I was driving through franconia notch heading north on And above it was 2 round white orbs. I thought it was a plane. The closer we got to it the orbs they flee into each other and Became 1 orb and it shot off south and disappeared.

The orbs had no sound. Or at least I. Them from my truck. It happened fast probably seconds. I also saw something like this. What do they want. We are surrounded by four celestial bodies that lack a magnetic field.

Their movement seems magnetic. Are they benevolent observers. Observed a strange light around midnight in Stratham about 5 days ago—which would be the end of May. It appeared stationery and then very, very slowly started to move in a direct line.

I put up my hand to use as a point of reference so I could tell if it actually was moving. I watched for about 5 minutes but I just figured it was a plane, but now after reading the comments here and thinking about it, planes usually have 2 lights and move much faster. Could it have been a prototype B-2? Triangle shaped, lights at extremes, slow, super-quiet.

So we stopped I pointed it out to her she stopped driving she pulled over it stopped I told her to go a little bit it went a little bit it stopped when we stopped it moved when we moved. I lived a mile down that road with my parents and I was on my way home and this thing followed me to my house I got out of the car I went into the house and I got my father who has an exceptionally bad memory and got him to come outside and take a look at it and he saw it it was sitting basically in the sky in our backyard.

You would be pretty foolish ignorant and naive to think that we are the only ones here on this planet. My daughter and I saw a large UFO climb from the east horizon to near directly over us during late night am while watching aurora borealis red sky laying on dock at Peacham Pond,VT. It stopped at near top vertical over us and three much smaller UFOs seemingly came out of it and continued west-lights smaller than stars while the mother ship?

The three small ones disappeared west one behind the other. We were looking at the east horizon as the sky there looked to be burning flames, almost, when the mother ship came right up from the red sky to directly over us. Are UFOs known to observe the northern lights we were watching? Except for my thought they were about to disappear,there was no indication any of the four UFOs knew we were watching. None approached us nearer,and all kept to their own agenda.

They seemed to be very high up. How high in the sky are the aurora borealis lights? These were not planes. The large one was very bright and looked like one light from as far away as we were. Large UFO made no sound either-amazing with its sudden unbelievable propulsion outward— and gone in seconds.

What caused the bright flash as it disappeared? I have vivid recollections of many many things. Sometimes I think I must be nuts to think I know these things happened to me. It seems more people are having these experiences and talking about it, or the subject is not so unapproachable because we hear about it more in our expanded media outlets. Did they implant something up my nose or inside me to check data the next time?

My mother had RH- blood. Her mother was from Scotland. Any truth to that? Anyone with any comments about any of this,or any answers or information ,please make a reply or submit a comment. I woke up around a. I happened to look out the bathroom window, which faces east, and noticed a really large, bright star low in the sky. It was unusually bright and big. I had never seen it before and briefly wondered if it was a planet.

I kept looking at it because it was so unusual and then it started moving slowly across the sky in a straight line heading southeast.

There are a couple of large trees in my backyard so it would briefly disappear behind a tree branch only to re-emerge on the other side as it continued moving in the same direction. It stuck to its course, finally disappearing from my view due to the angle of the upstairs window and the house. It was not a plane. It was very unusual — never seen anything like it before in my life. While parked near the pond observed a large crowd of people pointing towards the sky as a bright light descended from the sky.

Accordingly,there was a mass exodus from the area with a police cruiser being the first to leave. Subsequently, the area became empty as the object descended from the sky and came to hover approximately 4 feet of the ground. Curios as to what the object was I moved up a hill to get a closer look coming within 10 feet of the object.

The light while descending were a white light but when the object hovered off the ground the lights changed to multiple colored lights.. With many signals so faint they're easily drowned out by any ambient noise, these scientists abide by the National Radio Quiet Zone, a code of science that bars normal everyday tech devices so they can conduct their work without interference.

One of Maine's most famous alien encounters is the Allagash Abduction of Four men on a camping trip in the Allagash Wilderness Waterway on Aug. Years after the incident, all four men were put under hypnosis and interviewed about the abduction. All four stories matched identically. One of the most famous accounts of alien life in Iowa never actually happened.

In the opening of Robert A. Betty and Barney Hill's alien abduction along Route 3 in Lancaster, New Hampshire, remains one of the most highly publicized stories of alien contact in the world.

Under hypnosis, the couple independently recalled being kidnapped, medically examined, and released by bald-headed aliens with oblong eyes in a cigar-shaped, floating craft.

Today, believers can visit a 50th-anniversary plaque commemorating the abduction along the roadside near Lincoln. A woman in reported an unusual light in the sky in Fyffe, Alabama; her report was followed up later by area police who claimed to see a large UFO flying in total silence overhead. The resulting excitement led more than 4, people to descend on the tiny town. No sightings were reported by the crowds, perhaps because of overcast skies and a light rain.

Today, your odds of seeing a UFO in Nevada are 1 in 69, But with the Cold War and McCarthyism at their height and a smaller population to boot , odds of spying unexplained crafts in the s—particularly in the proximity of the Nevada Test and Training Range and Area 51—were significantly higher. In , numerous eyewitnesses in Roswell claimed to have seen or helped to cover up a UFO crash site.

That ambush allegedly involved a small group of alien creatures descending from their spacecraft outside of Sutton's farmhouse to the horror of him and his family, which included five adults and seven children. The men said they saw a giant, iridescent object floating over a bridge.

The car, including the electrical system, died as the men pulled forward. The oval-shaped craft continued to float briefly before letting out a flash of light, a burst of heat, and a noise before shooting further up into the sky and vanishing. Deputy sheriff Val Johnson awoke 40 minutes after his squad car had been swallowed in a ball of light sometime around midnight on Aug. His wristwatch and car's clock, both meticulously set, had stopped for a full 14 minutes and he was 1, feet from where the incident occurred.

One hundred feet of skid marks scarred the highway, and cracks throughout the vehicle's windshield, according to an expert from Ford Motor Co. Johnson also suffered welder's burns and had scorched retinas upon medical inspection.

A metal expert brought in to examine the car found bent antennas he could only explain as having been deformed by powerful bursts of air. A series of reports in Connecticut described a still-unsolved incident of a mysterious falling object that allegedly vanished into Bantam Lake, and the internet all but exploded when almost 13, UFO documents—which included dozens of eyewitness accounts based in Connecticut stretching back to the s—were released on The Black Vault website. These and other unexplained activities are covered each month at the Connecticut chapter of the Mutual UFO Network, an organization of alien enthusiasts striving to verify or debunk stories of strange sightings and otherworldly encounters.

Reports claimed a fireball and various lights passed over the sky over the course of about 10 seconds. You may also like: Most popular grocery stores in America.

The Rev. William Huffman in April of was called by the local sheriff to the site of a plane crash between Cape Girardeau and Chaffee, Missouri, to deliver last rites. When he arrived, Huffman discovered it was not a terrestrial plane crash at all, but rather a damaged flying saucer that had caused a fire in a neighbor's field.

He also found two alien bodies, one of which was already dead and the other dying. Members of the local Army corps arrived, barricaded the area, and confiscated all film from snap-happy photographers on the scene. This well-publicized event came just six years before the famed incident involving a supposed alien crash in Roswell, New Mexico. Betty Andreasson was at home with her family in South Ashburnham, Massachusetts, in January when she claimed gray aliens with oval-shaped heads and enormous eyes slipped her into a trance and abducted her.
