Here’s a list of some crazy UFO sightings:
In 1947, businessman Kenneth Arnold claimed to have seen a group of nine high-speed objects near Mount Rainier in Washington, USA, while he was flying in his plane. He said these objects moved like “saucers skipping on water” and were so fast that they probably travelled at over a thousand km/hour.
In 1952, Oscar Linke, former mayor of Gleimershausen, Germany, and his daughter, were in a car when their tyre burst. His daughter saw something in the distance and when Linke got closer to this object, he saw two men looking at a frying pan. But it was no ordinary pan. It was about 13-15 meters in diameter (a pan that size would fit around seven adults, one on top of the other). The pan had two rows of holes and a large tower on top. When his daughter called out to him, it scared the two men who jumped into the pan and flew away.
Two fiery discs were spotted hovering over uranium mines in Belgian Congo (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) in 1952. The discs were gliding in the sky and were even chased by an air force pilot based out of an airfield near the mines. He flew after them for 15 minutes but then gave up the chase.
Another flying saucer was seen in 1952. This time in Morocco. Witnesses said that the saucer flew at such a high speed that fighter planes seemed slow in comparison. This UFO then paused in the sky before speeding off towards a southern town.
In 1977, some children of Broad Haven Primary School in Wales, UK said they saw a UFO in a field nearby. One student said he saw a silver cigar-shaped object with a dome on top. When the teachers refused to believe the kids, the headmaster of the school asked the children to draw what they saw and their drawings were almost similar. Two months later, Rosa Granville, who ran a hotel nearby, said she saw an upside-down saucer and two faceless humanoid creatures with pointed heads.
In 2014, a resident of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh took photographs of a UFO he saw from his balcony. He was hoping to take pictures of the sunset when he saw a shiny object in the sky beside the Sun. Moments later, the object started spinning and rising and within 40 seconds, it had disappeared.
