Top 20 UFOs Caught on Camera

keep watching the stars something is bound to happen eventually welcome to watch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 ufos caught on camera for this list we're looking at the most discussed and debated videos and photos of unidentified flying objects some have since been explained but many remain the subject of debate number 20. the hapei incident set against the backdrop of tian sin hapei province china this photo can be traced back to at least 1942 although some argue it was actually snapped in 1911. either way japanese student masujiro kiru stumbled upon it in his father's photo album during world war ii the photo was reportedly taken by an american servicemen with several onlookers gazing up at the flying saucer-like object above of course many have argued that it was a bird a street light or even a hat we guess you could say it's all up in the air number 19 the belgian ufo wave in late november 1989 belgium started receiving numerous reports of a ufo various people described the ufo as a giant triangle with a flat surface and lights below and the reports kept coming well into early 1990 reaching a crescendo in late march of that year when a ufo was picked up on radar one night two air force pilots investigated coming up empty-handed while they didn't see anything 143 other individuals supposedly did for over 20 years ufological group sobep claimed the photo was authentic but the photographer eventually revealed it was a hoax writer mark alley attributed the belgian ufo wave to the media and sobep spreading misinformation causing a mass delusion indeed there is something going on in belgium which is beyond our control number 18 houston we have a problem in august 2014 social media was bombarded with photos of a ufo hovering over houston texas taken from different spots around the area the ufo seemingly consisted of several lights forming a ring at the center you can make out a single orb as if the other circular lights are revolving around it the ufo almost shares a resemblance to saturn although some experts have theorized there's nothing otherworldly about it fletcher gray of the mutual ufo network deduced it likely stemmed from nearby highway lights it's also worth noting that houston endured a thunder and lightning storm that night which may have contributed still how fitting would it be if alien life visited space city number 17 the kumbhorgas ufo video in 2007 a turkish night guard named yalcin yanman working in istanbul's holiday village noticed strange activity in the sky and started filming he kept his eyes on the skies throughout the next few years recording a treasure trove of ufo footage the ufo that repeatedly pops up in these videos certainly looks like a spacecraft even calling to mind the ones from war of the worlds upon further inspection some claim that you can spot two alien heads peeping out of what appears to be a window or door our eyes may be deceiving us but ufologist nick pope described yaman's findings as quote a turning point for turkish ufo studies adding quote the authorities can no longer turn a blind eye to this phenomenon number 16. new mexico 1957. ever since the roswell ufo incident in 1947 new mexico has been a hot spot for alleged alien activity almost 10 years after the historic sighting new mexico local ella louise fortune had another close encounter of sorts cruising down highway 54 on october 16th 1957 the nurse took a photo of a bright white flying disc the ufo reportedly hovered around the holloman air development center for 15 minutes that said the fact this occurred near an air force base might provide a logical explanation even after the aerial phenomena research organization studied the imagery though nobody could come up with a conclusive answer number 15 the lubbock lights in august 1951 three texas technological college professors noticed somewhere between 20 and 30 lights shimmering in the sky five days later texas tech freshman carl hart jr gazed out his bedroom window to find a cluster of lights forming a v-shape hart managed to take five photos of the lights getting them published in various newspapers and life magazine this caught the attention of the air force which launched an investigation at first they believed the lubbock lights were really plovers the air force eventually announced that it wasn't a bird or a spaceship but a quote easily explainable natural phenomenon without unveiling what the phenomenon actually was well that's not suspicious at all number 14 salem massachusetts 1952 as if being the site of infamous witch trials wasn't bad enough salem was also invaded by aliens at one point okay maybe we're exaggerating just a tad but this was definitely a weird occurrence on august 3rd 1952 a u.s coast guard looked outside a lab to find four large vibrant lights up above the 21 year old guard snapped a photo through a window and people have been making calculated guesses as to the exact nature of these objects ever since flying saucers a witch's spell lamplights in any case salem just got even eerier number 13 iss light beam in 2016 a video surfaced on youtube from nasa's live feed of the international space station seemingly showing an object making atmospheric entry the feed was then suspiciously cut off although nasa claims that this was due to technical difficulties and the object was likely debris or lights from earth however a subsequent video from the same feed showed what appeared to be a similar object departing earth followed by a bright golden beam of light is this a ufo leaving the earth making the jump to hyperspace these are real images from the international space station's live feed they show a spherical object leaving the vicinity of the earth and traveling upwards as the object disappears a beam of light shoots out this wouldn't be the last time that conspiracy theorists gravitated towards the iss in 2020 the feed captured another object moving over earth it was later reported that this was a retired communications component being jettisoned although we're definitely keeping a close watch on the iss we discard of our trash and an equipment that's uh that's been put through its paces and is now retired number 12 the sts-48 incident tony what can you tell us about this last-minute delay and what's happening right now launched on september 12 1991 the sts-48 mission's goal was to deploy satellites from the space shuttle discovery this scene shows the actual release of urs with the mechanical arm the arm is being backed away from the spacecraft in ufo circles though the mission is best remembered for footage captured on september 15th while not easy to make out the video shows objects zooming by and bright lights flashing in earth's orbit according to nasa these were ice particles responding to the engine jets astronomer phil plate has backed up these claims but we gotta admit the believer in us likes to wonder it's not the only space shuttle mission to have caught ufologists eyes in 1996 footage from sts-75 seemed to show objects buzzing around the broken tether of a drifting satellite debris or curious visitors well the long line is a tether and uh there's a little bit of debris that kind of flies with us number 11 the kaikaura lights it's only fitting that the kakota lights surfaced the year after star wars and close encounters of the third kind hit theaters new zealand's kaikoura mountain ranges caught the media's attention on december 21 1978 when a cargo plane crew observed house-sized lights flashing around the aircraft for several minutes thousands of ufo documents have been released by the new zealand air force the documents released under freedom of information laws cover sightings dating back to 1954. air traffic control specialists from wellington tracked the lights which an australian television crew then recorded in color the tv crew came along for the cargo plane's next flight from wellington back to christchurch shortly after takeoff the crew captured footage of a giant illuminated orb new zealand's ministry of defense has provided several possible explanations including lights from boats cars or venus but alternative explanations abound others say it could have been an unusually bright sighting of venus or merely radio and light wave transmissions but for those who believe even the publication of such sightings is a breakthrough number 10. the black knight satellite the black knight satellite remains one of the most famous conspiracy theories in ufo circles it's said that this mysterious satellite has been orbiting earth for 13 000 years in 1954 ufo investigator donald kehoe claimed that the air force had discovered two artificial satellites despite the fact that such technology did not exist at the time it would be another three years until we launched the first artificial satellite sputnik regardless various newspapers like the st louis post dispatch and san francisco examiner picked up the story the black knight regained interest in 1998 when nasa released this photo from the sts-88 mission while most would agree it was space debris others are not letting go of their black knight theory number nine the phoenix lights the phoenix lights have inspired a documentary and multiple horror movies but nobody can say for sure what happened on march 13th 1997. in 1997 you took part in one of the largest military cover-ups in the united states history that's correct this incident can be broken into two phases first a v-shaped formation was seen flying over phoenix although little footage exists of this event and the footage we do have is low quality there's more documentation of the second event which saw five circular lights floating in the night sky there were many events starting at 3 pm in the afternoon and continuing all the way until 5 30 the next morning even with numerous photographs videos and eyewitness accounts though a giant question mark continues to hover over phoenix while the u.s air force chalked the lights up to military flares many have argued against these claims and even arizona governor fife symington described what he saw as quote otherworldly well i saw a huge craft just kind of come right over [ __ ] peak that was it was just breathtaking number eight the chilean navy the chilean government agency which investigates ufos or unidentified aerial phenomenon has declassified and released never before seen video from 2014 showing a mysterious flying object of which they suggest could have been a ufo a little speck can certainly stir up a lot of speculation in 2017 the chilean government agency tasked with examining ufo sightings released footage of a flying object that defied explanation the footage which had been classified for almost three years was taken by the chilean navy from a helicopter during the day the pilot failed to make contact with the object which moved like another helicopter even more curious the object didn't pop up on air traffic control radar in two instances the object ejected some type of gas or liquid with high thermal tracking captured on video you can see a massive plume of material trailing behind the object most mysterious of all the ufo released an unknown substance and vanished into the sky experts were stumped with the agency's director saying quote we do not know what it was but we do not know what it was not well that's reassuring after an extensive study the committee for the study of anomalous aerial phenomena agreed it had all the characteristics to be classified as an unidentified aerial phenomenon number seven the battle of los angeles this incident took place in february of 1942 three months after the japanese bombing of pearl harbor receiving word of another possible attack air raid sirens went off around los angeles county and the area endured a blackout throughout the night 1400 shells were fired into the air five people died as a result and property damage was significant although it reportedly turned out to be a false alarm the la times published a photo of the air raid with searchlights directed at what looked like a spaceship while the photo was touched up this didn't stop ufologists from holding it up as evidence the theory even inspired the 2011 film battle los angeles it appears that there's something like shadowy uh figures everyone needs to get out of here number six mexican air force video on march 5th 2004 the mexican air force recorded footage of 11 ufos at 11 500 feet above southern campeche state surrounding a military jet these lights were detected during a routine search for drug traffickers jets pursued the ufos but eventually gave up and the objects disappeared while some believe this was the work of flares explanations also range from ball lightning to a meteorite deteriorating in earth's atmosphere whatever these objects were infrared equipment operator lieutenant mario adrian vasquez is convinced that they were quote completely real pilot major magdaleno castanon went so far as to suggest that the ufos knew they were being pursued number five the aguadia airport incident even by ufo standards this one's perplexing it all started in april 2013 at the raphael hernandez airport located in aguadilla puerto rico a video was taken of an unknown object swiftly flying over land and then seeming to submerge underwater after doing so multiple times the object appears to split in two supposedly the us department of homeland security tried to keep this under wraps but the video was eventually leaked by an anonymous whistleblower a group known as the scientific coalition for ufology was responsible for posting the footage online according to the scu website it quote exhibits characteristics that cannot be explained by any known aircraft or natural phenomenon number four the mcminnville ufo photographs in 1950 evelyn trent noticed an ominous object levitating around her family's farm in mcminnville oregon she alerted her husband paul who took a couple of photographs before the ufo departed west in another account they gave evelyn and paul both saw the ufo at the same time in their backyard either way the farming couple's pictures eventually made their way into life magazine and other publications igniting one of the most heated debates in ufo history physicist bruce mcabee believes that the ufo in the photos was quote real and quote physical non-believers like philip j class and robert shaffer meanwhile say the photos were faked the condon committee's investigation fell somewhere in between whatever you think few ufo sightings have inspired this much analysis number three go fast our top three ufo sightings are actually part of a package although each has a distinctive signature pentagon has now declassified three videos showing navy fighter pilots interacting with unidentified flying objects watch filmed by the u.s navy and published online in the late 2010s they were declassified and officially released by the pentagon in 2020 [Music] released under the file name go fast this video was taken over the east coast in january 2015 by an fa 18f super hornet during the uss theodore roosevelt ufo incidents the footage was captured using raytheon's advanced targeting forward-looking infrared pod or atflier and just as entertaining as the footage itself is the fighter pilot's comments while the audio is somewhat hard to understand you can certainly grasp the astonishment they experienced while watching the object oh my gosh number two fleer one it's a clear blue sky there's no wind and you see this tic tac it's just this white object that's randomly moving around [Music] it makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up a little bit also released by the pentagon flier 1 was filmed on november 14 2004 around the san diego coastline like go fast this video was also taken aboard a super hornet using at flear the footage was captured during the uss nimitz ufo incident in which the navy had a radar visual encounter the video centers on a dark round object that suddenly moves slightly to the left after lingering a little while longer the object quickly darts even further until it's completely out of sight commander david fravor can't tell you exactly what the object was but he recalls that it quote accelerated like nothing he'd ever seen there's no propulsion there's no wings it rapidly accelerates and disappears like poof gone

which the navy captured the same year as go fast oh my gosh they're all going against the wind the wind's 120 knots west often getting mixed up with the uss nimitz ufo incident this sighting actually took place aboard the uss theodore roosevelt by the coast of florida out of the three videos the object in gimbal arguably looks the most like a flying saucer before you jump to any conclusions skeptical investigator mick west has called all three of these sightings into question believing the gimbal object is just a plane well if there's another thing it's rotating honestly the world may never know if you think this is all of the ufo information that the us government's been sitting on former senator harry reid claims that it quote only scratches the surface because i don't think no one has the answers and that is too bad because there are answers out there but they're not going to get answers just by hoping they come they can have to take some work do you agree with our picks
