Early one day in September 1950, a trio of U.S.

Navy fighter-bombers launched from an aircraft

carrier cruising off the coast of the war-torn Korea.
The mission for the Navy planes was to bomb a North Korean truck convoy near the Communist
Chinese border.
The sun was just coming up when the Navy planes reached their target. But as they were
preparing for their bombing runs, the fliers were astonished to see a pair of saucer-shaped objects
approaching from the northwest. Incredibly, these objects were traveling close to Mach 2, or 1,200
mph, twice as fast as any aircraft of the day.
Most astonishing, though, was their size. The Navy crews estimated the silver-colored objects were
nearly 700 feet in diameter more than two football fields put together!
The Navy pilots instinctively went to arm their guns, but found all their equipment was being
jammed. Suddenly, the saucers changed direction and swung around towards the Navy planes. In
seconds the gigantic saucers were effortlessly maneuvering both above and below the fighter-
bombers, circling them, as if inspecting them.
Then just as abruptly, the saucers turned back towards the northwest and left the area at high
speed.




The Whiteman Air Force Base Incident
Whiteman Air Force Base is located about 70 miles east of Kansas City, Missouri.
During the 1960s, Whiteman housed a vast ICBM complex, containing up to 150 missiles. One of
the scariest, most inexplicable UFO incidents ever occurred here.
It started around 9 PM on the night of June 16, 1966 when the bases control tower personnel
suddenly detected a saucer-shaped object flying over the missile complex. The objects flight path
took it over one of the bases ICBM launch silos. When the UFO passed over this site, the nuclear-
armed missile inside lost all electrical power and went dead.
The electricity returned to the missile silo as soon as the UFO left. But then the same thing
happened to the next silo the object came to. The power went out, coming back on as soon as the
UFO had passed over. Then it happened to the next silo, and the next and the next.
Incredibly, the UFO flew around the Whiteman complex for the next two hours, killing power in all
150 missiles controlled by the base.





No sooner had World War II ended when unidentified aerial objects began showing up over
Scandinavia again.
They werent ghostly airplanes this time, but strange rockets seen streaking across the sub-arctic
skies. As with the ghost fliers of 1934, hundreds of people saw them, including military pilots. They
appeared almost always in the daytime, and on some days, literally hundreds were reported.
These strange flying objects were quickly coined Ghost Rockets. Most people described them as a
fast-moving missile-shaped object, 1215 feet long with wings. Many people saw them doing
maneuvers, including 180-degree turns; many others saw two or more flying in formation.
Theories the objects were left-over Nazi V-1 buzz bombs being shot off by Russia were quickly
discounted simply because so many were spotted over a long period of time. In fact the ghost rockets
were so puzzling, high-level military officials went on record as saying the mysterious flying objects
might not be of this earth.
Eric Malmberg secretary of Swedens Defense Staff during the time of the ghost rockets was
interviewed on the topic forty years later. He said: Many details suggest that it was some kind of a
cruise missile. But nobody had that kind of sophisticated technology in 1946.





The Ray Smith Incident
On the night of May 27, 1943, an RAF Halifax bomber was heading to Essen, Germany as part of a
massive bombing raid. Ray Smith of the Royal Canadian Air Force was at the controls.
Flying at nearly 19,000 feet, Smiths Halifax arrived over the target to find heavy anti-aircraft fire
being unleashed by the German defenders below. As he was preparing for his bombing run, and with
AA fire exploding all around him, Smith suddenly noticed a strange object flying off to his left. It was
huge. Long and cylindrical, and much bigger than his Halifax, the silver-gold object was hanging in the
flak-filled sky, moving at the same speed and altitude as the bomber.
Smith called out to his crew and they spotted the object too. Incredibly, they could see portholes
ringing the object, rounded apertures evenly spaced along its length. The astonished crewmembers
watched the object for almost a minute before it abruptly sped away.
Climbing at an impossibly high speed of 4,000 mph, the enormous foo fighter disappeared into
the stars overhead.





There are persistent reports that an American fighter jet shot down a UFO over Saudi Arabia during
the first Gulf War.
The incident began when four U.S. Air Force F-16s on a mission to Baghdad saw an unidentified
blip appear on their radar screens. When one of the F-16s started chasing the UFO, the unknown craft
fired a weapon at it, but missed. The F-16 returned fire with two missiles, both direct hits. The UFO
blew up and its wreckage crashed into the desert below.
While finding no occupants upon reaching the crash site, witnesses did see wreckage not from any
known earthly aircraft. Built of some unrecognizable material, the smoldering disc was about 15 feet
long with seats built for someone, or something, of small stature. The witnesses observed many
things that defied description, including markings on instrument panels written in some indecipherable
language.
When the U.S. military finally arrived, all witnesses were ordered out of the area. Said one: These
were things the Americans didnt want us to see.
Reports say the U.S. Army eventually gathered up the crash debris, put it into crates and flew it all
back to the United States.




One night in late November 1933 residents of northern Sweden saw something weird flying through
their skies.
A strange aircraft with eight engines and carrying pontoons was spotted winging its way through a
line of mountain valleys. Flying very low with powerful searchlights hanging from its fuselage, it was
painted dull gray with no identification numbers or country insignia.
No airplane in 1933 fit eyewitnesses descriptions of this craft.
It was spotted again the next night, and the night after that -- and the night after that. Soon,
hundreds of sightings of the mystery aircraft were being reported all over Scandinavia, indicating
there was more than just one of them.
The unknown aircraft were observed doing odd things. Many times, they were spotted circling a
village, a railroad station or a mountaintop, bathing it with their searchlights. They were also able to
fly in all kinds of weather, including blizzards, conditions that would keep other aircraft grounded.
Sometimes they would even fly for long stretches with the engines turned off.
These mystery airplanes were eventually dubbed The Ghost Fliers and were reported all the way
through 1934, before finally disappearing for good.

But what were they?
