The FBI recently declassified a report prepared by field agent Guy Hottel, concerning a mysterious incident in New Mexico. Hottel interviewed an U.S. Air Force officer who claimed that 3 flying saucers were recovered in an unnamed area, and that every craft contained three alien bodies each measuring 3 feet in height and dressed in metallic cloth. The Air Force officer revealed that high-powered radar equipment in the area was suspected of accidentally interfering with each UFOs “controlling mechanisms.”

The descendants of residents from the small Texas town of Aurora claim that a cigar-shaped spacecraft crashed in a field, causing an explosion that was visible for 3 miles. According to family member testimony collected by researchers from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), “a small man” was discovered in the wreckage and was immediately taken to the town cemetery for burial. While some claimed this was a hoax, multiple flying objects were seen flying over U.S. skies during the spring of 1897.

A swarm of UFOs buzzed the White House, Capitol Hill and the Pentagon in the summer of 1952. Reports of the incident claim that the sightings were confirmed by visual reports, provided by members of the public and pilots along with ground and military radar. When F-94s were scrambled to respond, the UFO’s lights immediately darkened, making detection difficult in the night skies.

When Muscarello returned to the scene that same evening with police officer Eugene Bertrand, Jr., they both saw the object rise up from the woods. Muscarello and Bertrand were just two of numerous people who confirmed seeing the mysterious flying object. The event became known as “The Exeter Incident.”

In 1997, USA Today reported “something happened in the skies over Arizona the night of March 13.” No one is sure what it was but thousands saw it, dozens videotaped it and people all over the state are haunted by it still. Officials at Glendale’s Luke Air Force Base were unable to explain the reported sightings that poured in from around the state.
