ufo incidents

Just released report.

I need help in debunking the Val Johnson incident. It seems to be hard to find skeptical information about it. The incident involved Deputy Sheriff Val Johnson, and it was alleged that his police car was seriously damaged, it was even reported to be found sideways on the road. Many other...

Several articles doing the media rounds this week about a 1980 incident where a Lt Huerta was scrambled in a Peruvian fighter jet to shoot down a UFO. Some quotes from news.com.au - The only reference to this incident I can find in skeptical literature is from Skeptical Inquirer in 2011...

Looking into a few UFO cases with a friend. His notion is to look at the veracity of mass sightings. I got stuck on the Hudson Valley reports during the 80's. A few skeptic sources say there was a group of pilots, the Stormville Flyers, who set out to prank people. Example...

So with Cosmos coming out...thought I'd share how some people reacted to the first Cosmos! http://yankeeskeptic.com/2014/03/02/cosmos-lawsuit-sagan-and-alien-abduction/ this was more of a fun blog post for me, as Betty really did believe Sagan would show her abduction as 'truth".

I usually work helping people with alien experiences. (abduction is now non PC). However, I received this request for help identifying a UFO. Any help welcome. ...................................................................... February 17, 2014, me and my two co-worker's saw something...

I remember talking to a coworker about this back in 2006, when it was in the news. At approximately 16:15 CST on Tuesday November 7, 2006, federal authorities at Chicago O'Hare International Airport received a report that a group of twelve airport employees were witnessing a metallic...

I've been working with the niece of Betty Hill, and at the Hill archives at UNH, to find out more history and the still best known abduction case ever. It's been good as she's a believer, I'm not, but we can work together. She was kind enough to share a little bit of his history with me...

The purpose of this thread is to offer some of the 'best' or most boring UFO cases that 'seem' to be explained by naturalistic explanations. I'll start by offering the 1976 Tehran UFO incident. And then Roswell.

While I would suggest that supernatural claims are incredulous at best, there seems to be something about UFOs that ruminates in the back of my mind. This is most likely due to the consensus that extraterrestrials most probably do exist and that it is likely that at least some of them have or at...

This story is intriguing. An F-89 disappeared on radar over lake superior for sure, there are official documents on it. That's a weird story in itself with the F-89 and unknown aircraft radar signals merging before disappearing. A company called "great lakes diving company" began trying to...

I've read a fair amount about claims of alien abductions, and it's clear to me that there are this-worldly explanations of most of the claims in the form of false memories and hoaxes. The one exception is the Pascagoula case. I wouln't cite it as proof that aliens have visited earth; it makes no...
