The mystery of life outside of our planet has been a topic of interest as far back as human history dates. We find evidence of mysterious flying objects dating as far back as the pyramids. Throughout history, it seems like people have just accepted ufos and the idea of intelligence outside of earth as something normal. One of the earliest accounts we have is from ancient Egyptian Tulli Papyrus; documenting the history of Pharaoh Thutmose III. The ancient Egyptians saw flying objects they described as a “fire in the sky.” Confused, they brought this to Pharaoh, and he meditated on it. After that, the UFO sightings at the time were more numerous than ever. Pharaoh instructed his scribes to mark this as “a day of importance.”

There have been many reports of UFO sightings since that, but the one that started the UFO craze in the United States was in 1947. A man named Kenneth Arnold had a rather unusual experience in Washington, coming in at number five on our list.

4. Chilean Navy Helicopter

The Chilean Navy admits it can’t explain this phenomenon. In November of 2014, a military helicopter captured incredible footage while on a routine patrol. The object appeared on the chopper’s infrared cameras in broad daylight. The pilots tracked the craft at about 40 miles away and tried several times to communicate with it. Upon receiving no response from the mysterious object, the pilots reported it to radar stations nearby. Despite being able to detect the object and having it show up on camera, the radar stations were unable to see them on their screens. The Chilean government has been probing the situation for 2 ½ years now and still has no explanation.

3. SpaceX Satellite 2017

This footage comes from the launch of a commercial satellite from Kennedy Space Centre on March 30, 2017. The video was a live feed that shows an unidentified object appearing as three lights in a triangle formation. What makes this footage particularly shocking is that shortly after the lights come into view, the footage cut to an animated map that shows where the satellite is. There was similar footage from an ISS live feed, back in 2010 where the same thing happened; as soon as these strange lights were in view, the footage suddenly stopped. Could this be NASA hiding proof of aliens from us? Something more sinister?

2. Space Alien Buried Here

In April (17) of 1897, there is a chilling legend in Aurora Texas. Newspaper reports from the time state that a spacecraft crashed into a windmill in the small town, breaking to pieces and it’s pilot died on impact. The town even buried the supposed alien in their local cemetery. In the 1970s scientists wanted to dig up the grave; they were blocked by the cemetery association because exhumations can only be authorized by next of kin, who, for obvious reasons, weren’t available. There have been a few different grave markers over the years. Including one that mysteriously showed up depicting a UFO carved into a piece of wood and just as mysteriously disappeared two years later.

Someday we may have answers to all of these questions… explanations to every phenomenon… and as technology gets better and better, the search for life outside of Earth gets more and more exciting.

We have more reports of UFO’s in the US than anywhere else. Find out why here!
