Unidentified aerial flying objects are commonly known as UFOs internationally, commonly known as UFOs. In ancient China, UFOs were also called Xingchas. There were more than 300 more complete sighting reports before the 20th century. According to witness reports, UFOs are mostly disc-shaped.

shaped (disc), spherical and cigar-like. Since the late 1940s, UFO sightings increased sharply, which caused controversy in the scientific community. Scientists with a negative attitude believe that many witness reports are unreliable. UFOs do not exist, but are just hallucinations or witnesses’ misinterpretation of natural phenomena. Affirmatives believe that UFOs are a real phenomenon and are being confirmed by more and more facts. By the 1980s, there were about 100,000 witness reports worldwide. UFO sightings and sightings can be divided into four categories: daytime sightings; night sightings; radar imaging; close contact and related physical evidence. Some sightings have also been taken into photos. People have made various explanations of UFOs, including:

① Some natural phenomenon that has not been fully recognized;

② Misrecognition of known objects or phenomena;

③Psychological phenomena and fraud;

④ The product of high extraterrestrial civilization.

UFO [UNIDENTIFIEDFLYINGOBJECT]

Air flying objects whose origin has not been identified. They are commonly known as UFOs internationally, commonly known as UFOs. According to witnesses

It is reported that its appearance is mostly disc-shaped (disc-shaped), spherical and cigar-shaped, and it moves slowly in the air. There were more than 300 more complete sighting reports before the 20th century. The UFO fever first appeared in January 1878. J. Martin, a farmer in Texas, USA, saw a circular object in the air. 150 American newspapers published this news, calling this object a "UFO".

In June 1947, K. Arnold, an entrepreneur in Idaho, USA, flew a private plane and passed by Mount Rainier in Washington. He found nine discs flying through the air at high speed and jumping forward. This incident was reported in all American newspapers and once again caused a global efferves fever. Later, reports on the discovery of efferves came one after another, and governments and private institutions also organized investigations and research.

Many countries around the world have conducted research on UFOs. There are about 350 monographs on UFOs and nearly 100 journals.

A group of experts from all over the world participated in this work. China has also established a private academic research group mainly composed of scientific and technological workers - the China UFO Research Association. China's popular science journal "UFO Exploration" was founded in 1981.

In recent years, with the gradual rise of UFO research boom around the world, a new science - UFO science has been born.

Top 10 UFO incidents

Egyptian events

Reason for selection: The first witness report recorded in UFO history.

Star Rating: ★★★

An ancient Egyptian papyrus was found in the collection of the Vatican Egyptian Museum. It records the sightings of the UFO group by Toutmoses III and his subjects around 1500 BC:

At 6:00 on the third day of the 22nd winter... The scribe of the Palace of Life saw a ring of fire flying from the sky... It had no head and emitted a stench. The ring of fire was a pole long and a pole wide, silent. The scribe was panicked and fell to the ground...

Report this to Pharaoh. Pharaoh ordered the verification of all records on papyrus in the Palace of Life. A few days later, more such objects appeared in the sky, their light was enough to cover the sun, and the ring of fire was strong and powerful. Pharaoh stood in the army and watched the wonders with his soldiers. After dinner, the ring of fire rose to the south... Pharaoh burned incense and prayed for peace, and ordered the matter to be recorded in the history of the Palace of Life to pass on to future generations.

Betty Hill Incident

Reason for selection: The most famous hijacking case in the UFO incident.

Star Rating: ★★★

On September 19, 1961, Betty, who worked for the New Hampshire Department of Security and Barney Hill, who worked for the Boston Post Office, met UFO on the road between Lancasterton and Concord in New Hampshire. The UFO also stopped 30 meters away. Barney saw 5-11 human-like creatures inside, wearing shiny black and leather clothes, wearing black baseball caps, and every move was neat and old-fashioned. Barney turned around and ran, he pushed his wife into the car and drove away quickly. But he felt that the thing was above the car. Suddenly, they heard a strange buzz, and then the two lost consciousness.

They experienced time loss, and in the following months, they were increasingly troubled by the incident. Finally, in 1964, they underwent hypnosis treatment under the guidance of Benjamin Simon, a famous Boston neuropathic expert. During the hypnosis process, they each told about their experiences of being kidnapped onto a UFO and undergoing experiments. Doctors believe that these experiences may be based on Betty's dream, and Barney was subtly influenced while listening to her description. However, after receiving treatment, Betty and Barney were convinced that they had been kidnapped.

According to this, journalist John Fuller wrote a book called "The Interrupted Travel", which reveals many details.

Surprisingly, a star map drawn by Betty in a hypnotic state was unverified at the time, and it was only a few years later that astronomers discovered similar star maps in the universe, making this matter even more confusing.

In October 2004, the "UFO First Lady" who is now 85 years old died of cancer. The media said that the first lady who was kidnapped by the UFO passed away.

Fatima incident

Reason for the candidate: The most famous group witness UFO incident, which is suspected to be a collective hallucination.

Star Rating: ★★★

At noon on May 13, 1917, in a small village called Fatima in Portugal, three little shepherd boys, Luci, Jacente and François (all under 10 years old) talked to a very beautiful woman who appeared on an oak tree. The lady told them to come to the oak tree at the same time from now until October 13, and she had something to say on the 13th of the month. During the subsequent meeting, the only phenomenon that some witnesses present saw was that the sun became very dim at that time, but they (except these shepherd boys) did not see anyone on the oak tree.

After the sighting on July 13, Luci told people that the lady told him that she would "appear" to everyone on October 13; and on September 13, the lady instructed Luci again to tell everyone that she would do some miracles next month to let people see.

Sure enough, on October 13, a magnificent scene that was unforgettable appeared. It was raining and the sky was gloomy. The total number of people no less than 70,000 gathered in the village of Fatima in heavy rain. At noon, Luci told everyone that they could put away their umbrellas. Although it was still raining heavily, people still listened to Luci's advice and put away the rain gear. A strange thing happened. When people put away the rain gear, the rain suddenly stopped, and the sun broke through the dark clouds and exposed its head.

But like the previous few times, the sun's light is very dim.

At this time, the clouds separated, revealing a brilliant, pearl-like rotating disc. It emitted colorful light and fell down like a typical "leaf-falling movement". Everyone thought that the sun was setting from heaven, so they knelt on the ground one after another. However, the disc rose again and disappeared into the sun. At this time, people's clothes wet with rain and the land soaked with rain were completely dry.

Arnold Incident

Reason for candidates: The origin of modern UFOs.

Star Rating★★★

June 24, 1947, this was an extremely ordinary day. However, due to an extremely unusual event, countless people still remember this day in history more than 50 years later.

Kenneth Arnold is the owner of a fire extinguishing equipment company in Boise City, Idaho, USA. That day, he was flying his private jet through the Cascade Mountains of Washington State.

When the plane approached Peak Rainier, which was 4391 meters above sea level, the strange flashes in the sky attracted his attention.

Before he turned his sight to the distance to pursue the light source, he never thought that he would become a household name at that time and even now.

He saw nine circular objects moving forward at high speed in the air in an unprecedented jumping manner. Arnold told reporters later: "I found a flash similar to a kite-shaped object, which is like a disc. I used a telescope to see it flying by at a speed of 1,931 kilometers per hour, disappearing in the clear sky with white clouds..."

What followed was surprising. Not only in the United States, but almost every corner of the world, UFOs sparked a frenzy with their glittering brilliance.

Moreover, the flying objects people see are no longer simply disc-shaped. They are straw hat-shaped, conical, cigar-shaped, mushroom-shaped, diamond-shaped, tire-shaped, spherical, even triangle-shaped, five-star-shaped, etc., and are competing for beauty in the air.

Therefore, people call them "UnidentifiedFlyingObject", which means UFO, abbreviated as UFO.

For a time, UFO became the focus of discussion among media and people.

Roswell Incident

Reason for selection: The most typical event in the history of world UFOs.

Star Rating: ★★★★★

Although the incident has been happening for more than 50 years, the Roswell incident occupies an extremely important position in the history of UFO research.

At 23:30 on July 4, 1947, thunderstorms enveloped the Odejolfres Ranch in the Roswell area of ​​New Mexico. Local residents heard bursts of thunder and explosions from the air, and then saw a blue and white glowing object flying low in the night sky and then fell in the distance.

The next morning, the first wreckage was discovered by the ancient team of Texas University of Technology. They accidentally discovered an UFO crashed on the grassland of the pasture. The area of ​​debris scattered after the explosion was about 1.2 kilometers long and 600 meters-

900 meters wide. There is a trace of a sliding pit about 1,200 meters to 1,500 meters long on the ground. The largest wreckage was found at the southern end of the pit. It is as thin as paper, but extremely hard. There are many metal fragments near the site, as well as some H-shaped metal strips with text engraved on it.

Surprisingly, they also found five corpses of unknown creatures, small in size and extremely large eyes; their skin was dark gray. The military immediately put the bodies in a sealed bag and sent them to the base hospital. Afterwards, the military continued to be at the crash site.

Find every piece of explosion debris, check each household by household if the residents see a flying saucer falling or pick up any debris, and inform them not to publish any news to the outside world. The military finally announced that the crash was just a meteorological observation balloon.

Star Rating: ★★★

On January 7, 1948, a UFO appeared over Louisville at Gauderman Air Force Base in Kentucky.

At 14:45 pm, six F-51 fighter jets were ordered to take off for observation. Soon, five of them returned one after another, and only Mantel's single aircraft continued to track them. He reported to the console: "The UFO is a metal shell and has a huge appearance." Half an hour later, the console received another report: "It is approaching a huge metal object." The contact was interrupted. After 17:00, Mantel and his plane wreckage appeared on a farm near Franklin. His watch was parked at 15:1 pm. No signs of shell attack were found on the fuselage, nor were there any radioactivity.

Afterwards, the US Air Force said that Mantel was actually tracking Venus, and later it was also called the "Sky Hook" balloons cast by the US Navy. Of course, some people believe that Mantel and his plane were shot down by UFO.

Star Rating: ★★★

At 17:45 pm on April 24, 1964, on Highway 85, south of Soccollo Town, New Mexico, state policeman Zamora encountered an egg-shaped aircraft and two humanoid living bodies in white suits - aliens.

The book "Yinghuan Search Qi" edited and published by Reader Digest in the United States introduces the title "The Mystery of UFOs - Alien Guest? Illusion? Or Natural Phenomena?"

According to Zamora's report, he found a shiny oval metal object outside the town, the size of a car that was reversed. Next to the object were two animals that looked like humans, with figures similar to 10-year-olds. When he called to report to the General Administration, the two monsters walked back into the UFO and then took off.

The incident itself is not very suspense. What attracted the attention of the UFO community is: On the appearance of the egg-shaped aircraft, there is a special sign, which is a horizontal line with an arrow pointing to an open and downward arc. This is the Sokro incident that Dr. Heinick believes is "a valuable Sokro incident in the discovery of the US Air Force."
