Lieutenant Federico Machain and his Tic Tac UFO sighting in 1965

In a period of more than a month, the radars of the Punta Indio Naval Air Base detected sporadic unidentified contacts blips. These echoes sometimes appeared alone, other times in formation, and other times approaching or chasing aircraft in flight. On June 31, 1965, Lieutenant Federico Machain took off in pursuit of one of these echoes and was able to maintain visual contact. He described the object as ellipsoidal in shape, 12 meters in length and that it moved away at very high speed towards the Rio de la Plata. Letter sent by Lieutenan...[More]

How Do Airline Companies Prevent UFO Sighting Gossip From Leaking?

According to the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), there were 110,000 active pilots in 2019. With that many pilots in the air, one would think that there would be significantly more sightings than what one typically hears about. Now, let's just say a small handful of those pilots actually do see something. I would imagine some of those pilots would at least tell some friends and family members, right? . There's also a LOT of different types of people besides just the pilots in the air-line industry. We're talking vast numbers o...[More]

UAP Sighting Netherlands

I was driving on the Afsluitdijk in the middle of the night, coming off a job in Amsterdam, going back to my hometown. When I was almost at the end of the Afsluitdijk my radio started to stutter. I was surprised because my car is using DAB+ and it was the first time that my radio malfunctioned. So I decided to change the radio station into another channel but the same staggering sound could be heard. I drove around 135 km per hour when this happened. There was a light (emulsion) visible in my right eye. Since this Afsluitdijk is basically a ...[More]

Shouldnt The Number of UFO Sightings Be Significantly Higher?

According to the FAA, “Every day, FAA's Air Traffic Organization (ATO) provides service to more than 45,000 flights and 2.9 million airline passengers across more than 29 million square miles of airspace.” In addition, that's 16,405,000 flights handled each year, and 45,000 flights per day. During peak operation times, there's 5,400 aircraft in the sky at peak operation times. Now, that's a LOT of flights, and a LOT of passengers on each flight. With all those flights and all those people up in the sky, wouldn'...[More]
