Alien Visitors Among Us: Notable UFO Sightings

There’s nothing quite as perplexing and explosive as a strong tale of the unknown: our UFO sightings.

The Roswell Incident

Arguably the peak of UFO sightings, the incident at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 continues to captivate. It all began with a rancher discovering unidentifiable debris in his sheep pasture outside Roswell. Despite attempts by the military to claim it was simply a crashed weather balloon, many remain unconvinced.

The Phoenix Lights

March 13, 1997, marked another influential account in UFO sightings. Thousands of Arizona residents spotted a series of bright lights forming various shapes in the sky. Skeptics have cited military flares, but many eyewitnesses refute this explanation, giving the Phoenix Lights case a special place in UFO history.

The Belgian UFO Wave

Spanning from November 1989 to April 1990, Belgium experienced a UFO wave with over 2,000 individuals claiming to have seen large, triangular UFOs. These sightings were unique in the sense that the Belgian Air Force acknowledged them publicly.

The Rendlesham Forest Incident

Often dubbed as Britain’s Roswell, the Rendlesham Forest Incident in December 1980 is the country’s most famed UFO incident. U.S. military personnel stationed there reported unidentified lights and a possible landed craft.

The Hill Abduction

One of the most famous cases of documented alien abduction is the Hill Abduction in 1961. Barney and Betty Hill reported being abducted by extraterrestrials in rural New Hampshire. Their detailed accounts continue to mesmerize UFO enthusiasts.

The McMinnville UFO photographs

In 1950, a farming couple in McMinnville, Oregon, captured photographs of a metallic, flying disc. These images are considered among the most credible UFO evidence to date.
