Awesomely detailed spaceship schematics created by an Oregon UFO witness

There is nothing better than a detailed visual aid to help me really understand what a UFO looked like. Here you can see what one person witnessed, over an Oregon town. Some, the artist admits, is extrapolation. According to Lights In The Sky, a Texas blog about UFOs, these images come from a MUFON report…

Read the UK’s recently released UFO archives, including Churchill’s UFO cover-up

The United Kingdom’s National Archives has unveiled a new slew of UFO-related documents, including papers describing Winston Churchill’s cover-up of a UFO sighting during World War II.

Two UFO videos, without shakycam, are weirdly convincing

Taken over the past two years, these videos offer unusually clear, non-shaky footage of UFOs. And the guys who filmed them seem pretty legit, too. What exactly are we seeing here? I love how this guy films the UFOs from his bathroom window. Is this the same UFO as we saw in the first video?…

A slow, brooding look at the UFO that shut down an airport in Hangzhou

Last week, the UFO in this video caused officials to close the airport in bustling city of Hangzhou, China. As more footage from eyewitnesses goes online, we’re starting to see artistic Hangzhou UFO vids – like this one. I love the long, lazy arc of the UFO, accompanied by the classical music. It’s like the…

Two new UFOs caught on tape – along with some seriously weird noises

My favorite new trend in UFO videos is when the vids have weird noises in the background – like in this video, where there is some sort of electronic squeaking that sounds like robot self-pleasuring. Or how about this vid, below, which sounds like somebody is typing on a computer keyboard while the weird ballpoint…

California family harassed by low-flying UFO, mysterious cargo vans

On July 2, a Clovis, CA family was terrorized by mysterious lights. These lights weren’t from juvenile delinquents setting off M-80s, but rather a nosy UFO.

Spiral UFOs spotted over Australia

Remember those crazy spiral UFOs spotted over Norway last year? Now there’s video of another one, this time over Australia. And the explanation for both phenomena is likely the same. Just as the spiral light in Norway was probably a rocket spiraling in the atmosphere, so too are these spiral lights caused by a rocket.…

The Bridgewater Triangle, Massachusetts’ epicenter of weirdness

Massachusetts’ Bridgewater Triangle is ground zero for all manner of pseudoscientific phenomena, such as ghost hitchhikers, black helicopters, and Indian burial grounds. In short, the area is the entire oeuvre of Stephen King in the wrong state. [Boston via Cryptomundo]
