Overview
In the summer of 1952 witnesses claimed to see UFOs over the skies of Washington D.C. It alarmed nearly everyone, including the government who sent military aircraft to intercept the unauthorized objects which invaded airspace. Later, they would claim that the objects were in fact atmospheric anamolies which their radar operators mistook for objects.
In Shag Harbor, Nova Scotia on October 4, 1967 witnesses throughout the town saw a UFO flying in the air and then crashing into the waters and disappearing. The Canadian officials admitted that they had no explanation for the event, and that a UFO was involved.
In Bentwaters Air Base, near London, in December of 1980 UFOs were spotted in the woods near the base on several nights. Colonel Halt was an eyewitness and claimed to see three separate objects in the sky hovering above the trees. The government claimed that the sightings were caused by atmospheric conditions coupled with a nearby lighthouse. However, it does not satisfy UFO researchers who point to high radiation levels at the time.
The most famous UFO incident occurred in Roswell, New Mexico in July of 1947. Although the government claimed to solve the case, that the object was a weather balloon, they reopened the case in 1994. The famous Area 51 housed many experimental military aircraft such as the stealth bomber that people could easily mistake for UFOs.
