In this article, we’ll take a closer look at some of the most famous UFO incidents in history.

The Roswell Incident:

One of the most well-known UFO incidents occurred in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. According to reports, a UFO crashed on a ranch in the area, and the US military was quick to arrive on the scene. While officials initially claimed that the object was a weather balloon, many people remain skeptical of this explanation. Some believe that the military covered up the incident to hide evidence of extraterrestrial life.

The Phoenix Lights:

In 1997, thousands of people in Phoenix, Arizona, witnessed a series of lights in the sky that appeared to be arranged in a triangular formation.

The incident remains a subject of debate among UFO enthusiasts and skeptics.

The Belgian Wave:

In 1989, a wave of UFO sightings occurred in Belgium. Hundreds of people reported seeing triangular objects in the sky, and the Belgian military even scrambled fighter jets to investigate.

The Battle of Los Angeles:

In 1942, just months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, an unidentified object was spotted over Los Angeles. The US military opened fire on the object, and the incident caused widespread panic.

The McMinnville UFO Photographs:

In 1950, a farmer in McMinnville, Oregon, captured two photographs of a metallic disc-shaped object in the sky.
