The 6 Most Famous UFO Sightings
The 6 Most Famous UFO Sightings
Anything's possible in this age of Photoshop and CGI, but before all that came some pretty crazy pictures. Whether you believe or not, these possibly extraterrestrial newspaper sensations, seen by many and photographed by few, mark some of the world's greatest mysteries.
The Lubbock Lights
An unusual formation of lights flew over Lubbock, Texas in 1951. Spotted by three professors from Texas Technical College and later photographed by a student, the 'UFO' featured 20 and 30 lights that flew overhead in a "V" formation. The sighting was so popular and highly publicized that the photos and story appeared in Life Magazine in 1952.
The Washington D.C. Incident
First spotted on an air traffic controller's radar, seven objects moved in unusual flight patterns that witnesses called bright orange lights. The most publicized sightings occurred in consecutive weekends with the objects moving over the White House. The incident was so publicized it prompted President Truman to demand an explanation.
Ghost Rockets
Sweden, 1946: Over 2,000 "Ghost Rockets" were sighted over from August 9th to August 11th by hundreds of witnesses. The rockets were assumed to be meteors, but UFO talk arose because many sightings occurred during broad daylight while the rockets were described as moving slowly and horizontally, and, sometimes, were followed by strange noises.
The Belgian UFO Wave
This series of sightings lasted from November 1989 to April 1990, with 143 witnessed accounts on the first night. The unknown objects were tracked on radar by the Belgian Air Force and described as black triangles with bright lights that would change color. The Belgian Air Force still offers no explanation for the objects.
Roswell, New Mexico
The most famous UFO incident and suspected Government cover-up occurred in 1947. Recovered debris from an alien aircraft (or experimental high-altitude surveillance balloon as is claimed) was found in the desert of New Mexico, beginning one of the biggest controversies and mysteries in U.S. history.
The Battle of Los Angeles
Los Angeles, 1942: Just three months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, this incident occurred between February 24th and 25th, when an unidentified flying object was spotted over Los Angeles. Assumed to be another air strike from Japan, the UFO sparked a massive anti-aircraft military attack. The the true identity of the object is still unknown today.

That makes a lot of sense to me. The whole thing seems a lot more clear about so many things. Glad I read your report.

Are you kidding me?
You sound like a scientologist with an agenda to to try to minimize the three top religions in the world,let alone, assume we are all idiot as a human species.
Sound like you have too much time on your hands. write a book......Oh yea, it's already out, "Dianetics"

lol Rick, 3/10 you actually had me reading seriously at the beginning there. Yea, these thousand year alien conspiracy theories.... If they really wanted to eliminate us and they have the technology to travel here, they'd just blow us up themselves lol.

if you would've let out that part about the corrupt religions i could have whole heartedly accepted what you said with an air of truth, but as spligger said, you seem like a radical scientologist by throwing out that there. but nice story.

I have read a few books from different sources that supports your story. Specially about ET's being around for thousands of years.
Checkout Divinecosmos.com. Also Google search or YOUTUBE: Zachria Stichin, Billy Meier, Alex Collier, Stewart Swerdlow.

They are real. I worked for Verizon for 18 years and they are DEFINITELY using back engineered alien technology and have been since the 1950's. Anyone who thinks this is not real needs to wake up. UFO's (Vimana) represent something far more than you could have ever imagined before. Google SGT Clifford Stone and Major Robert Dean. They came forward!!!

These ETs who threaten our world (and solar system) are currently in eminent domain control of our sector of the Milky Way galaxy, and they represent a cultural singularity (i.e., 'black hole' culture) which was previously taken over by an advanced but delusional ET/AI system with thousands of years of development behind it, which suffers from a God complex, or more specifically a "Son of God" complex. It was this God complex which enabled this ET/AI system to circumvent the prime directives intended to keep it from taking over. It was actually a previous regional galactic war which provided this advanced ET/AI system with the opportunity to take over in a totalitarian way, since AI technology is the command and control equivalent of the atomic bomb in warfare. But when this regional galactic war (which this ET/AI system had deliberately fostered in order to seize control) was finally over, the ET/AI system did not surrender command and control of the military establishment. Instead it used its control of the ET military establishment to seize control of the entire ET civilization in a totalitarian way. But please understand that there are also Free Galaxy powers elsewhere in our Milky Way galaxy which currently stand in the way of overt military conquest on a stellar level. In order to avoid direct confrontation with these Free Galaxy powers, this now totalitarian ET culture undertook an effort designed to create a pretext for future eminent domain military intervention by these ETs into our human world, by covertly installing all three of these corrupt Abrahamic religions into our world in a serial way, while repeatedly masquerading as Divinity toward mankind in the process. These Abrahamic religions are all critical biocybernetic warfare components of a larger ET designed PWMD, or Program Weapon of Mass Destruction. These ETs want to crash and explode our emerging human world in a final cataclysm of global warfare fueled with WMDs known as the Christian Apocalypse, or World War III. These ETs then want to intervene militarily near the very end of this future global conflict, once we have had an opportunity to largely destroy ourselves in the process, while once more masquerading as Divinity toward mankind, this time as the returning Christ or Messiah. - Rick Carter

I FIGURED THE CHARIOTS OF THE GODS WERE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE. I DOUBT THEY MEAN US ANY HARM. THE GODS DON'T HARM. THE GODS ONLY DO GOOD.. THEY MAY BE CHECKING ON THEIR GARDEN HERE ON EARTH. AFTER ALL IT DOES BELONG TO THEM. THE GODS MUST KNOW WE ARE QUESTIONABLE PART-TIME EMPLOYEES. THEY MUST KNOW THAT TRUTH BY THE ROCKETS RED GLARE, THE BOMBS BURSTING IN AIR, UP THERE. CLOSER TO HEAVEN THAN ANY TYRANT ON EARTH WILL EVER GET. THE GODS MUST WONDER WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN THEIR GARDEN EARTH. THE GODS I BELIEVE, ARE USING CAUTION IN PARKING THEIR CHARIOTS DOWN HERE. PERHAPS THE GODS KNOW IT WOULD BE TOO COSTLY. THEY MUST KNOW EARTHLINGS SHOOT FIRST AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER, IF AT ALL. BING...

Please understand that it will be offensive totalitarian ETs "coming in the clouds" militarily near the very end of the future Christian Apocalypse or World War III, if this global conflict is ever allowed to take place. It is this future global conflict which is trying to set up right now with this growing Islamic extremism. Our human world is right now within the 33 year "End Time" 'program window of opportunity' intended for this final trip of the ET installed PWMD, or Program Weapon of Mass Destruction, to go off in our world. Mankind potentially has millions and even billions of years ahead of it for growth, development and expansion, so long as it does not fall for this covert attempt at territorial conquest in our Milky Way galaxy. The Roswell Incident happened because these ETs were reconning our post WWII nuclear facilities in the southwestern United States as part of a baseline study of our emerging WMD capability. This baseline study was potentially needed by these ETs in order to predict the future best timing for the ET promoted Christian Apocalypse or World War III. - Rick Carter

Mr. Carter, if your theory is true, could you please explain the Egyptian chariots at the bottom of the Red Sea? If you could somehow tell me why your extremist views would result in more violence than my belief that God (yes, I say God, Jesus, Messiah, etc.) commands us not to kill, steal, or otherwise harm others? The way I see it, if there is no God, then the only things that could possibly keep us from killing anyone want to are authorities here on Earth, or the ethical standards first formed by the faithful. Before the Abrahamic religions that you call corrupt formed, ethical standards were limited to "If you do this, this, or this, I'll kill you". Then came the Hebrew prophets, and afterwards came Jesus. They set down the first ethics. But some lost these moral codes. hitler (I refuse to capitalize that name) was an atheist, and he slaughtered millions because of their faith in God. So great story/theory. Write a book about it. But please don't criticize those who believe in the peace of God. † (P.S. I do think God may have made other worlds and races than ours, but if they have the technology to get here, they probably wouldn't have to come down. I don't know about UFO's, but if they haven't killed us yet, they probably won't.)

P.P.S. I once thought I saw a UFO. It turned out to be a Life Light helicopter. A friend of mine saw one once. It was a jet from the Air Force base. Most UFO's are aircraft in disguise, but some you just can't explain. Then again, we haven't even explored our own planet, let alone think we know about other planets, or what lives on them. So until E.T. drops by to ask directions to the nearest rest area, I'll just figure they're probably out there somewhere ignoring us.

I saw a U.F.O. at a family reunion.Their were about 10 of us.Then the next day a picture of it was in the canton news. Someone at a one of the strip mines took a picture and submited it to the paper. I could hardly beleive it. We were in Knoxville, IL. in 1972. It was unlike anything Iv'e ever seen. A Real Adreneline Rush. Looked Green saucer shapeped with two small lights behind.
