About UFOs: Investigating the Unknown
In 2021, the US government passed legislation mandating an official investigation into UFOs. This provocative series unspools the history leading up to this momentous change and reports on recent developments. It explores what the government made public versus what was kept hidden; citizens' push for transparency while confronting mass UFO sightings; Navy pilots' reports of unexplainable technology; new cutting-edge scientific efforts; and what the future might hold for this confounding mystery which is the focus of a deepening and expanding search for answers.

I couldn't care less about UFOs until The Phoenix Lights craft flew over my head by 30 feet in 1997. That craft was HUGE, totally silent, no wind, no odor, no heat. What looked like lava was flowing from the bottom openings, it glowed but didn't burn. I'm a believer ever since.

My Uncle was a Captain with American Airlines for many years. He resided in California; my family lived in Upstate NY. He stopped to visit us after one of his cross country flights and he shared a related story to this National Geographic video. They were flying over New York state and a long cylindrical, metallic object without wings or a tail very quickly approached their jet. It followed them right off their side for 20 minutes or so and air traffic controllers had it on radar. No one knew what it was. Air Force fighter jets were launched. When they approached, the object darted away at blinding speed. This was before smart phones, but many passengers had cameras and had taken photos. When they landed, "Authorities" confiscated the cameras, apparently after searching passenger bags etc. My Uncle, his co-pilot and crew were debriefed that this event "never occurred'. Unfortunately, my Uncle passed away a few years ago; I know he would have loved to share this experience (and others he had) with this Journalist and researcher.

When i was a flight attendant we left Atlanta enroute to Florida we were about half way there and i happen to look out the window and i saw a reflection of our aircraft outside the window i could see my reflection, i waved and i could see myself waving. I call the Captain and he said it was a "Prisim" the passengers saw the same thing i saw to this day i believe there was a craft flying along side of us that was cloaked or whatever they do to go undetected and our reflection was bouncing off of it.

[@stratocasterblue]

A reflection from a prisim, Sounds like a temperature inversion when warm air is over cold, This usually happens in early summer in the morning

[@MuddahFukkah]

friend, this phenomenon is actually well studied and explained. it is weather phenomenon. Rare but it happens to pilots regularly. It is very dangerous and can mess up pilot's orientation.

[@innerunderbelly]

@sharone.franklin-jackson1410 Do you mean to say that you saw the reflection of the plane with you inside waving - coming off the reflective surface of a cloaked craft? Or off the surface of a cloaking mechanism? so it was just a floating reflection, right? did it have an element of transparency, or did it appear as another solid plane? was it matching your speed exactly? if it was, that suggests an enormous craft. I've never heard of this ever happening, that's spectacular. And also doesn't really compute. bc if something is cloaked, then light is not bouncing off of it so a reflection isnt possible in that context anyway... heh. So im not 100% sure but a prism is just bent light right? i guess that might make a little sense. either way, regardless of WHAT it was, the fact that you witnessed it at all is amazing.

The smaller TR-3B black triangle craft is said to be American made, but there are similar massive triangles that have been hanging around for decades which are definitely not of this earth. It is when you have military pilots chasing down craft, with actual footage, that you have to take it seriously. One of the best accounts is the fairly recent battle over the skies near a Welsh military base. There's also that one in Brazil, which I think James Fox also got involved with, and the compelling school landings in Oz (Westall) and Zimbabwe (Ariel). They're all on here.

I've seen two tictacs, about 30 years apart and in 2 different states. One in Seattle in the early 90s, hovering near the end of the Boeing runway, just sitting there in the air, no connection to anything. It vanished after about 30 minutes. Didn't fly off, just stopped being there. Also in fall of 2007 me and about five other people saw a tictac flying over Boise, Idaho, between the Boise Airport and the Air Force Base. It was cruising along in no great hurry, with two fighters following behind. There was no weird weather, it couldn't be a balloon and stay ahead of the fighters. It wasn't a satellite, it was perfectly smooth and reflecting the light like a shiny metal. It couldn't be any kind of meteor, there was no trail of burning dust.

[@StarGateSG7]

if it was at the end of the BOEING part of the runway, then I am quite sure it was a Boeing PhantomWorks Tic-Tac drone project (i.e. Boeing's version of Lockheed Martin's SkunkWorks secret projects division!). It was LIKELY an electrostatics-based propulsion system test which doesn't need wings to fly and hover. Since it was probably PhantomWorks project, it also means it's likely part of a US Navy AUTEC SAP/CAP programme which may now be operationally based out of Whidbey Island, in Oregon or in Alaska! V

EZ to be a skeptic if you've never seen/experienced anything the least-bit strange! My elderly pilot neighbor said in the late '50's he was flying from Miami to VZ. when a UFO flew next to him for 20 minutes. He reported it and upon landing the co-pilot, navigator & him were separated, de-briefed and told to never tell anyone what they had seen. In 2002 in the late aft. i was alone (and w/o a movie camera) when i saw a UFO near LANL, albeit at 25K feet. (what it did proved it was not a plane.) Then, 15 yrs. later, on a dark night, my friend and i saw 9 orange lights descend from a storm cloud, move erratically above houses across the st. from us, then disappear behind one. A neighbor also saw them, and told me he'd instantly closed the curtains, shut off the lights and went to bed. (he'd seen them once before; but was afraid to go out and investigate either time.) i finally reported both events to MUFON.

The quality of the professionals in both the physics, theological, academic and aviation worlds is unrivaled in human history. The fact is that the right people are now doing the investigating. And the story also does a great job at not speculating about who "they" are or why "they" are here because no one knows that. The simple fact is that SOMETHING is moving around in the skies in our world and they've been doing it for a very long time.

That incident at O'Hare Airport the investigator dismissed the "hole punch cloud" explanation saying all those experts were looking at it.

[@StarGateSG7]

I have a copy of the ORIGINAL but I wasn't all that impressed with it. Typical BLURFO .....BUT.... I kinda know WHY that happens due to frame rate issues, shutter speed issues and camera movement issues. There is also usually a type of optical distortion field around the craft which affects camera optics depending whether the propulsion system is electrostatics-based or gravitationally-based (i.e. a set of GWASERs) An acquaintance has a few CLEAR photos of the MASSIVE discoid craft of the December 11, 1996 Yukon sighting which was a 2 miles (3 km) in diameter mothership! Hard to miss that one since it was so big. Quite a few witnesses saw the Yukon craft from the highway but only about five photos were taken since they were actual FILM-based cameras and NOT instantly-ready smartphone/digital cameras! It was DEFINITELY NOT the light decay pattern of a Russian space launch either! You can CLEARLY SEE the massive shape and size of the UFO along with the large windows. One photo was so closeup and in-focus that you could see a group of "humanoid beings" observing the people stopped on the highway from a massively-sized obervation window that had to be many tens of meters along each 2D-XY length! Interestingly, this specific craft had NO atmospheric distortion field around it which means it was using a more unusual propulsion technology while in-atmosphere than the "more normal" electrostatics or gravitational propulsion systems!
