Hello. Goodbye?

Here are drawings, by observers, of purported UFO (flying saucer) occupants (waving, looking, piloting):

Rex Ball in Geneseo, New York (1940):



Reverend W.B. Gill in New Guinea (1959):



Barney Hill in New Hampshire (1961):



A nurse in Cowichan, British Columbia (1970):



A 28 year-old witness in Vilvorde, Belgium (1973):



The sightings never resulted in anything tangible, and the UFOnauts’ sightseeing seems to have dissipated, replaced by occasional lights in the sky.

This might explain why ufologists are changing the enigma’s sobriquet from Unidentified Flying Objects to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. It not only sounds more scientific, but actually represents the mystery as it exists today.

UFOs? Nope, just airplanes

Misinterpretation of aerial craft (balloons and airplanes) for UFOs is a given.

Here are some that have been so misidentified….

This is one kind of balloon that was prevalent in the skies of the 1890s (et cetera) and viewed by some citizens as something more than just a balloon…



Here are other aircraft that have been misidentified as UFOs….





















There are others, and analyses, at our web-site, of some sightings resulting from mistaken aircraft.
