UFO Case Review - Battle of Los Angeles, 1942 UFOCaseReview 2015-05-07 | It’s common for ufologists to date the beginning of the “modern UFO wave” to the famous Kenneth Arnold sighting of June 1947. But while Arnold’s sighting certainly marked a turning point in UFO history, it was far from the first sighting of something unusual in the sky. In early 1942, a number of unidentified lights and craft were spotted over and around the city of Los Angeles. One of these objects reportedly hovered over the city for an hour, invoking sporadic fire from multiple anti-aircraft guns, and it was even captured on photograph. The object later vanished, and its identity was never revealed, but the so-called “Battle of Los Angeles” has lived on in popular culture as a reminder of the long history of the UFO phenomenon, and as a revealing case study in the government’s handling of it before the proliferation of military intelligence agencies in the post-war era.New UFO Case Reviews: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc9zbu1ZOD2vmqHj-Lttz-oAX4lDBXC4rNew Channel: youtube.com/c/thinkanomalousWebsite & Blog: http://www.ThinkAnomalous.comFacebook: facebook.com/ThinkAnomalousTwitter: twitter.com/Think_AnomalousSupport new videos on Patreon: patreon.com/user?u=3375417

UFO Case Review - OHare Airport UFO, 2006 UFOCaseReview 2015-02-04 | Every so often, a UFO sighting occurs that is more interesting for what it tells us about our own government than for what it tells us about the UFO itself. The UFO event over Chicago's O'Hare Airport in 2006 in one such example. The short encounter was rather unremarkable, as UFO sightings go, but the reaction of the airline and the FAA was anything but ordinary, suggesting some type of cover-up between the implicated authorities. What's more, the sighting reminds us that even nearly 40 years after the US government disavowed all responsibility for investigating UFOs, there are still many parties secretly involved in keeping UFO activity out of the public eye. This video includes video footage from "UFO Hunters", a series on the History Channel.

UFO Case Review - Phoenix Lights, 1997 UFOCaseReview 2014-12-24 | It is often remarked that no one person's testimony can ever be considered fully reliable, especially when it concerns anomalous phenomena. But as the number of witnesses increases, the probability that all of them are similarly delusional quickly diminishes. Nowhere does this apply more than to the case of the Phoenix Lights of March 1997. Thousands of witnesses saw gigantic, triangular formations of lights drift over the state of Arizona and overtop of the city of Phoenix. The case is widely regarded as involving the greatest ever number of witnesses to a single UFO event, and it forces us to consider the possibility that UFOs, whatever they are, occasionally want to be seen.This video contains footage from the following documentaries.

UFO Case Review - Belgian UFO Wave, 1989 - 1991 UFOCaseReview 2014-11-26 | Because most of the "classic" UFO cases come from the United States, we are used to seeing witnesses come up against the brick wall of government secrecy in their search for explanations. The wave of sightings over Belgium in the late 80s and early 90s offers a striking contrast to this pattern; government authorities cooperated with witnesses and civilian research groups to investigate the string of unusual phenomena, and in the end, an Air Force study concluded that craft of unknown origin were indeed violating Belgian airspace. This honest admission from the Belgian government effectively disproves the idea that public disclosure would incite mass panic, and the transparent operation of the Air Force study provides a useful precedent for the kind of government-backed UFO science that could operate in the U.S. and elsewhere.This video contains footage from an episode of Unsolved Mysteries, available for viewing here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge7c-aa-U6s*Edit: much to my regret, my original video glossed over the controversy surrounding the Petit-Rechain photograph. In 2011, more than a decade after the incident, a photographer named Patrick Marechal, claiming to be "Patrick," the original source, said that he had hoaxed the photograph. It's impossible to know if he is telling the truth, as the original source came forward anonymously. Also, Marechal refused to produce the contact information for his then-girlfriend, the only corroborating witness, and his attempt at recreating the photo using this original method did not produce a convincing copy. In addition, there are the light anomalies discovered in laboratory analyses that would indicate the photograph is genuine. However, the photograph did not come forward until 4 months after the original incident, and it contains too little information for a reliable assessment of its authenticity. The photograph should approached with extreme skepticism.See the following links for more on the Petit-Rechain controversy:Original RTL article revealing the hoax:http://www.rtl.be/info/belgique/faitsdivers/812149/le-mystere-du-celebre-ovni-des-annees-90-elucide-une-supercherieBad UFOs blog reporting on controversy:http://badufos.blogspot.ca/2011/07/classic-ufo-photo-from-belgian-wave.htmlIs the Petit Rechain UFO photo Hoax a Hoax itself?:http://www.paranormalpeopleonline.com/is-the-petit-recain-ufo-photo-hoax-a-hoax-itselfLeslie Kean explaining the problems with the hoax theory:http://www.theufochronicles.com/2011/09/ufo-news-update-petit-rechain-ufo-photo.htmlNew UFO Case Reviews: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc9zbu1ZOD2vmqHj-Lttz-oAX4lDBXC4rNew Channel: youtube.com/c/thinkanomalousWebsite & Blog: http://www.ThinkAnomalous.comFacebook: facebook.com/ThinkAnomalousTwitter: twitter.com/Think_AnomalousSupport new videos on Patreon: patreon.com/user?u=3375417
UFO Case Review - Japan Air Lines Flight 1628, 1986 UFOCaseReview 2014-08-19 | Although it's not uncommon for pilots to witness UFOs, the sightings of Japan Air Lines flight 1628 are remarkable for a involving a prolonged and dramatic close encounter that was corroborated by multiple radar systems. The sightings, which spanned more than 40 minutes in total, quickly attracted media and government interest. The resulting FAA investigation unearthed a wealth of solid evidence, including extensive radar data and radio transcripts, that documents official handling of the situation. These documents offer a revealing look into the way that UFO reports are processed by airline officials and exposes the ongoing interest of some of the most clandestine parties within the U.S. government.New UFO Case Reviews: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc9zbu1ZOD2vmqHj-Lttz-oAX4lDBXC4rNew Channel: youtube.com/c/thinkanomalousWebsite & Blog: http://www.ThinkAnomalous.comFacebook: facebook.com/ThinkAnomalousTwitter: twitter.com/Think_AnomalousSupport new videos on Patreon: patreon.com/user?u=3375417
UFO Case Review - Rendlesham Forest Incident, 1980 UFOCaseReview 2014-07-13 | Over 3 nights in December 1980, strange moving lights drifted through the trees of Rendlesham Forest, England. When personnel from two nearby U.S. air bases went out to investigate, they were unwittingly thrust into one of the most compelling and controversial episodes in UFO history. The abundance of credible witnesses, the presence of physical evidence, and the frequency and duration of contact, make it nearly impossible to deny that something extraordinary happened in Rendlesham Forest, even while the U.S. and British governments maintain otherwise. Special thanks to Nick Pope for reviewing the script to this video and helping to ensure the best possible accuracy of the information it contains.This video contains excerpts from Syfy's "UFO Invasion at Rendlesham" and History International's "Britain's Roswell."

UFO Case Review - Cash-Landrum Incident, 1980 UFOCaseReview 2014-04-09 | Too often, the UFO phenomenon is dismissed for its supposed exclusive reliance on eyewitness testimony. However, there are numerous examples of UFO encounters that have left tangible traces of their presence in the physical environment, or on the witnesses themselves. The so-called Cash-Landrum Case of 1980 is a notable example of the latter, having left all three of its witnesses with symptoms of severe radiation poisoning following a late-night encounter with an unidentified object. It is one case, at least, that cannot possibly be dismissed as a fabrication, a misidentification, or a hallucination, and one that points to a possible connection between the UFO phenomenon and the U.S. government. Special thanks to ufologist and specialist on the Cash-Landrum case, Curtis Collins, for contributing a number of valuable resources, and for his help in ensuring the highest possible accuracy of the information presented. Thanks!Curtis runs a UFO website with a focus on the Cash-Landrum case called Blue Blurry Lines.

UFO Case Review - Travis Walton Abduction, 1975 UFOCaseReview 2014-02-11 | Few cases of alleged alien abduction have garnered as much public interest as the Travis Walton case of 1975. In an event witnessed by six friends and co-workers, Walton was abducted into a saucer-shaped craft and deposited back outside of his hometown five days later. Despite the efforts of police and journalists to discredit the bizarre narrative, neither Walton nor any of his co-workers have ever admitted to having perpetrated a hoax. The case remains one of the most credible and fascinating abduction accounts on record, and one of the few to involve consciously recalled memories of the witnesses' terrifying experience aboard the mysterious craft.New UFO Case Reviews: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc9zbu1ZOD2vmqHj-Lttz-oAX4lDBXC4rNew Channel: youtube.com/c/thinkanomalousWebsite & Blog: http://www.ThinkAnomalous.comFacebook: facebook.com/ThinkAnomalousTwitter: twitter.com/Think_AnomalousSupport new videos on Patreon: patreon.com/user?u=3375417
UFO Case Review - Pascagoula Abduction, 1973 UFOCaseReview 2014-01-10 | In the fall of 1973, two men fishing in Jackson County, Mississippi, were startled the appearance of a strange craft on the riverbank. Three humanoid creatures emerged from the craft, taking at least one of the men aboard. Some 20 minutes later, the creatures deposited both men back on the shore where they were taken, and together with their craft, disappeared into thin air. In the following weeks, the men underwent a series of investigations from police and UFO investigators, all of which served to confirm their story. The subsequent media coverage propelled the UFO issue onto the front pages, and popularized the previously unexplored phenomenon of alien abduction.New UFO Case Reviews: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc9zbu1ZOD2vmqHj-Lttz-oAX4lDBXC4rNew Channel: youtube.com/c/thinkanomalousWebsite & Blog: http://www.ThinkAnomalous.comFacebook: facebook.com/ThinkAnomalousTwitter: twitter.com/Think_AnomalousSupport new videos on Patreon: patreon.com/user?u=3375417
UFO Case Review - Michigan Swamp Gas, 1966 UFOCaseReview 2013-12-16 | In March of 1966, a wave of UFO sightings across southeast Michigan aroused media interest, bringing the perennial issue of the UFO back to popular attention. Controversy arose when the Air Force's scientific consultant concluded that at least some of the sightings were the result of "swamp gas," an explanation summarily rejected by witnesses and other state citizens. The ensuing public outcry was instrumental in bringing about the Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects, the only academic assessment of the topic completed to date, and the last attempt on the part of the US Air Force to settle the unrelenting mystery of the UFO.New UFO Case Reviews: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc9zbu1ZOD2vmqHj-Lttz-oAX4lDBXC4rNew Channel: youtube.com/c/thinkanomalousWebsite & Blog: http://www.ThinkAnomalous.comFacebook: facebook.com/ThinkAnomalousTwitter: twitter.com/Think_AnomalousSupport new videos on Patreon: patreon.com/user?u=3375417
UFO Case Review - Shag Harbour UFO Crash, 1967 UFOCaseReview 2013-09-20 | On the night of October 4, 1967, a string of witnesses across the province of Nova Scotia, Canada, saw a brightly lit object fly over the small fishing village of Shag Harbour and descend upon the surface of the water. A few who gathered at the shore watched the object drift out of sight leaving a wake of yellow foam on the surface of the water. Though many suspected that the incident was the result of a plane crash, a lengthy search by the police, the locals, and the Royal Canadian Navy revealed no trace of debris in the surrounding water. The object was never found, and the case remains officially attributed to an unidentified flying object.New UFO Case Reviews: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc9zbu1ZOD2vmqHj-Lttz-oAX4lDBXC4rNew Channel: youtube.com/c/thinkanomalousWebsite & Blog: http://www.ThinkAnomalous.comFacebook: facebook.com/ThinkAnomalousTwitter: twitter.com/Think_AnomalousSupport new videos on Patreon: patreon.com/user?u=3375417
UFO Case Review - Portage County UFO Chase, 1966 UFOCaseReview 2013-08-25 | In the spring of 1966, several police officers in Portage County, Ohio, pursued an unidentified flying object for half an hour before watching it disappear into the night sky. The media brought the story to public attention, and popular interest compelled the Air Force to conduct an investigation. The Air Force's conclusion that the officers had misidentified ordinary occurrences opened the witnesses up to a torrent of ridicule. Some of the witnesses, already emotionally disturbed by what they'd seen, were so harshly scrutinized that they quit the force to escape the public eye. As well as being an intriguing case in its own right, the Portage County chase compels us to consider the human toll of ridiculing UFO witnesses and to question the morality of the Air Force's debunking agenda.New UFO Case Reviews: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc9zbu1ZOD2vmqHj-Lttz-oAX4lDBXC4rNew Channel: youtube.com/c/thinkanomalousWebsite & Blog: http://www.ThinkAnomalous.comFacebook: facebook.com/ThinkAnomalousTwitter: twitter.com/Think_AnomalousSupport new videos on Patreon: patreon.com/user?u=3375417
UFO Case Review - Betty and Barney Hill Abduction, 1961 UFOCaseReview 2013-02-19 | On the drive back home to Portsmouth, New Hampshire after a trip to Montreal Québec, Betty and Barney Hill caught sight of a UFO. The object followed them down the highway for some before swooping in over top of their car, producing some strange noises, and suddenly disappearing. But when the Hills reflected on the sequence of events that night, they realized that more had happened than they'd remembered. After undergoing hypnotherapy, the couple recovered memories of being taken aboard an extraterrestrial spaceship and subjected to intrusive medical examinations. This was the first widely publicized UFO case in modern history to involve so-called "missing time," and it brought the subject of alien abduction to a world audience.New UFO Case Reviews: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc9zbu1ZOD2vmqHj-Lttz-oAX4lDBXC4rNew Channel: youtube.com/c/thinkanomalousWebsite & Blog: http://www.ThinkAnomalous.comFacebook: facebook.com/ThinkAnomalousTwitter: twitter.com/Think_AnomalousSupport new videos on Patreon: patreon.com/user?u=3375417

The object was between a half a mile to a mile away, shooting off towards the southwest. It left a trail of bluish orange flames, and made a roaring noise as it passed overhead. Curious as to what it was, officer Zamora followed the object over a steep hill, catching up with it as it lay rested on the summit. What Zamora saw then has never been adequately explained.New UFO Case Reviews: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc9zbu1ZOD2vmqHj-Lttz-oAX4lDBXC4rNew Channel: youtube.com/c/thinkanomalousWebsite & Blog: http://www.ThinkAnomalous.comFacebook: facebook.com/ThinkAnomalousTwitter: twitter.com/Think_AnomalousSupport new videos on Patreon: patreon.com/user?u=3375417
