Compilation: Some of the best UFO Cases (or the Classics)

The Aurora incident is from 1897, not 1898. (The relevant crash/hoax was reported in the Dallas Morning News on 19th April 1897).

In case you are interested, this incident is Case 51 in my "Top 100 UFO Cases - Revealed!" article, which indicates the top UFO cases based on frequency of discussion in a sample of approximately 960 UFO books. The relevant entry includes a few links, including to a thread on ATS which discusses this incident.

All the best,

Isaac

The 1954 flying saucer invasion of Florence zone, ITaly, is one of the most important ufo case of the history. An important soccer match was suspended because of flying disk!
Newspapers said that it was like a exrtraterrestrial fleet showed on the city

One of my favorites was the battleship and found the footage with the story behind it

That's a very good compilation.

Great post~I think the Fatima incident in Portugal is a very interesting one,according to this 1969 U.S. Government Rand report:
stinet.dtic.mil...

A recent example is the repeated appearance of a typical UFO phenomenology at Fatima,Portugal on six succesive months in 1917.
The October 13th phenomenon was the best reported and was witnessed by a crowd of about 70,000 persons,including a number of scientists,reporters,atheists and agnostics as well as faithfull catholics.
One of the scientifically curious was Dr A. Garrett of the University of Coimbra.
Rain which had been falling that day ceased and the crowd looked up to see the 'sun' now visible through the heavy clouds.
Professor Garrett wrote
"I turned towards this (sun) which was attracting all eyes and could see it was like a disc with a clear cut edge,with a vivd rim,luminous and shining but without hurting one.
The comparison I have heard at Fatima with a disc of dull silver does not seem to me exact.It was a clear,more vivid richer colour and with shifting tints like the lustre of pearl.
It was not at all like the moon on a clear transparent night for one saw and felt it like a living star.
Nor was it spherical like the moon,nor did it have the same quality of lighter and less light.
It looked like a burnished wheel cut out of mother of pearl.
Nor could it be confused with the sun seen through a fog...there was no fog.
This disc spun dizzly round.It was not the twinkiling of a star,it whirled round upon itslef with mad rapidity

How about this strange event.

NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 04, 2008, 21:20 HRS. (LOCAL)

A young woman was driving at 40-45 mph along Lake Cook Road, when her car suddenly lurched to the right for no reason that was apparent to her. There were no cars within sight on the road, and she had not seen any pedestrian or animal near the car. She stopped her car immediately, got out, and apparently was flabbergasted by the appearance of the left side of her automobile.

The investigating police officer could not provide an adequate explanation for the damage. He noted that there was no damaged paint, and no animal hair, feathers, or blood, evident on the damaged area of the car. NUFORC has passed the case along to Mr. Sam Maranto, Illinois State Director for the Mutual UFO Network (“MUFON”), for follow-up investigation.

Check out the pics below this report.

The whole side of the car looks almost as if the metal was melted..? What could have caused this?!

tell the aliens through satellite communication that we seek war... they will respond immediately

thanks for the links

I have also created a website to organize the best cases and in addition to the best UFO cases I have included many links to related scientific articles. This can be found here I hope it helps those of you who are interested.

If you have any suggestions about other cases that I should add I have discussed this on this string. Thanks

Hey, don't forget the awesome Sonora-Sightings, some of which were videotaped by our very own Johnny Anonymous!

Is the dr jonathan reed alien encounter among these top 100 cases because if it is not then it should be. on youtube check chronikboys account. he has tons of stuff on reed and the alien encounter he had.
truly incredible. never debunked. only lied on to make people who are gullible and weak think its not real when it is. kudos.

The Jonathan Rutter case should be number 1 in the hoax list.

It's always nice to go over old ground, particularly Roswell, but personally, I think we have gleaned the best from the available information and there's really not too much more to be had.

We should never forget Roswell and Rendlesham Forest, amongst others because they are some of the most high profile cases in history but, I think we need to move on.

It is always good to watch videos and chat with like minded people because it helps to retain one's interest in ufology. I just think that 'we' need to get out there more, start putting in the hours and bringing in new footage!!

I would like an honest answer from any person who reads this post....

Do you commit quality time to sky watching? By that I mean...Do you leave the distractions of your home, family, television, games console and pc etc to carry out some serious studies of the sky? Do you leave your town or city to escape light pollution so that you can actually see the sky in order to study it?

Be honest, with yourself if no-one else!

ATS is a serious UFO investigation group and you are a part of it. We are here to discover the real truth about UFOs and I believe we will have success only by putting in the work. It doesn't matter what you think of the Roswell incident...there is no absolute proof. Whilst we are discussing things that may or may not have happened all those years ago, we are probably missing things that are happening now. Whilst you've been reading my post a triangle may have flown low over your house. You won't know if you're not out there watching.

A little food for thought..........

What about Frederick Valentich?

One of the strangest and most publicized abduction cases in history.

Great post

A 'just as freaky' case occured two years later near Puerto Rico.

How about the UFO sighting over O'Hare Airport in 2007?

One of the more interesting sightings in the last ten years...and it just reeks of the old "Swept Under The Rug" Syndrome.
