It's a documentary featuring dramatizations of real events that the U.S. Air Force dealt with. It's also a propaganda film. The Montana and Utah films are famous in the history UAP studies and were widely analyzed. The originals are in color. Ed Ruppelt wrote a famous book about his time on Project Bluebook. You can get it and read it. (The original edition is preferable.) You can read about the history of Projects Sign, Grudge, and Bluebook in works by serious historians. This is not a joke.
That's also why it sucks so badly. This is very poorly done. Had some pros been involved, we might have a much clearer story about what actually happened.
I saw this movie when I was a boy in the early 60s, I remember the interview with the man who said, "But you didn't come out of a flying saucer". I always wanted to find this footage again, took me almost 60 years.

"He's a good man. He know's about things that fly." Really interesting video and had no idea we had stuff like this back then. I'd been 7 at in '56. Thanks so much for posting.
Fascinating documentary and a timely reminder that UFO history didn't just begin with the Tic-Tac incident in 2004. . Nothing has really changed in the past 50 years with the exception of the AATIP Pentagon study and the current UFO Taskforce.
It's been said that they've been visiting from before Adam and Eve's time. I can only pray that if they are here, they are the work of Our Father in Heaven... 1:07:45
I thought I recognized Harry Morgan's unmistakable voice!!! The two films were made in the early '50's -- at that time, no one, that we know of, had technology that could do what those things were doing!! I was very young, "back then," so I don't remember much about details, but I do remember all the hype there was about UFO's! With the release this past June of the much-anticipated, but nothing-burger, report about what UFO's are, it seems we have not made much progress in all the years since this documentary was made in getting to the bottom of what these objects are -- at least, what the "guv" is willing to let us know. This was a very good documentary -- leaves me thinking of the song, "One-eyed, One-horned, Flying Purple People Eater."
At one of the UFO conferences I attended, I happen to meet the son of one of the Military advisers for the film and he told me that his father said it was the governments first attempt to see what the public's reaction would be if they disclosed the truth about UFO's. Supposedly, the poll was abandon due to the Military demand. I saw this movie at the age of 10 and it made such an impression that I became a researcher in the subject.
I notice this film came out the same year as Air Force Captain Edward J. Ruppelt's very credible book, The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects (1956). It's a shame more people don't know the unembellished, actual early history of Air Force's Project Blue Book. My grandfather was a test pilot who rose to the rank of Colonel in the Air Force and he didn't ridicule this stuff at all. He didn't draw a conclusion one way or the other about whether some UFOs are extraterrestrial, as far as I know. But it was a possibility he took seriously, as many professional pilots did. I have the impression that this film was part of a larger propaganda campaign intended to educate, manage, and prepare the public regarding UFOs. I wonder if it was made, officially or unofficially, at the request of Dwight Eisenhower.
I wish they would come out with a 4k or high resolution on Blu-Ray of this film. I think this is a very well done, entertaining and informative video on these strange events.
This movie was made at a time when the government under Eisenhower was considering a release of information on UFO’s that was in fact that they were actual alien craft and that contact had been made and they were NOT hostile or dangerous. Then, once again everything changed and the government went back to total denial.
Al Chop appears again in the 1970's production "It Has Begun." There he speculates that ufo's are from other planets. This documentary of his earlier career in it's simple narrative way, not over-acted, gives a respectful view of the Air Force and it's operations at that time. It's wonderful how we can identify with the protagonist, Al Chop, as he learns more- especially the radar scene at Washington D.C. July 1952, which is solemn and awesome!

I'd have to presume that it was understood that all the voices and people were not all real participants (the opening statements and footage make it clear how many and which of the people appearing in the film were actual witnesses). These are reenactments for the most part, since no one was there recording every moment. No one questions that a narrator is used (radio-tv-film actor Les Tremaine) to summarize and tie events together. Some of the people in this are real participants, a couple are actors and many are just real people (non-actors) who likely were not at all present at the events discussed, but were needed to tell the story visually. This film was done on a tiny tiny budget, shot by Howard Anderson (whom I met and knew to a degree). The "amateur-ish" quality many of the commentators here seem somewhat fixated on seems pretty obviously due primarily to the film makers' use of non-actors and the shooting of much of this on actual locations with bad acoustics (the booming/echo-y sounds of the voices) etc. I feel the people who made it did not have a lot of experience with film making, but felt the big UFO story of the day a subject worth covering. It is not sensationalistic (certainly not by today's "everything is breaking news"-type overhyped news coverage), though it IS stiff and crudely done. The supposed ufo footage is not faked/not done with vis efx etc. As to what was being photographed?---who knows? There could very well be a good explanation, but no one has come up with any believable theory as to what the objects/lights are.
@@robertskotak7389 They wouldnt allow this at the time it was being investigated. They allowed this and probably censored a lot out but its all true. The people, are the actual people, Ruppelt plays himself, Samford plays himself, but a lot of stiff was renacted. All of this information was out before this doc came out. They made a doc it just happend to be the first real one allowed on the history of the subject. Unlike the dude up there says heck it off s fake, he has no idea of the subject.
I still love this movie, saw it at age 8 in 1967 and have been interested in UFOs ever since ! Oh and Star Trek also aired in 1966 which helped !!! Lol
Classic! I can almost taste Mulder's sunflower seed... great, thanks for sharing 🤗🤗🤗 Can't get much better than the documentaries format...a classic....I WANT TO BELIEVE 🤗🤗🤗
Well, we'll never have to worry about UFO sightings from here on out, because it's impossible to look at the sky when you have your head up your smartphone apps.
I remember this from when I was a kid, I loved all these old docudramas, most I saw were in school but not about UFOs, the 1950s was a weird time evidently...
Well, after being CO of 4077th MASH in the Korean War he transferred to the Air Force as a flight surgeon. Had to take an admin bust to Major . That night he was flying backseat as the wizzo on a F-94A Starfire to keep his flight pay. Look that's all I got I can't explain how he then ended up working as a detective with Joe Friday🙄😂
funny story this was shown on tnt monster vision at one time along with other ufo movies my dad recorded them for me on videotape when i finally got to watch it i was really interested in what was happening by the 1 hour 12 minute mark of this film as the pilot was in the middle of the ufo's he was reporting there getting closer closer .. closer and the click ! the tape ran out ! and i never knew what happened until i found this here on you tube thanks for posting ^^
Many UFO sightings in that 47-56's era were secret USAF planes made in Groom Lake. This documentary is a pioneer in this field and should be watched with critical open mind. Thanks for this :D
Area 51 was where most of those aircraft came from. Very close to Groom Lake. Indeed since know of this is common place, you don't ever heard of UFO'S anymore.
Im sure most still are Military aircraft,people forget the Military is 50 to 70 years ahead of what we know,The stealth Bomber was made in the 70s,just think what we have today.
it is film that looks at whole UFO reports in clear and logic way with the hysteria and makes 2 things clear the USA military was investigating them and knew they existed. They told the news media these were not real. All I can say is I know for several years what I saw and it was not airplane or kite or swamp gas..
@@raphaelandrews3617 If you want to see UFOs come to Arizona. They hover over boulder Dam and draw power from the huge generators that furnish power to 3 states. California, Nevada, & Arizona.
This video is an important piece of history!!! ...why? Because it was created to ease the populous of the United States into the fact that we are being visited. THESE ARE NOT ACTORS! The military figures and Al Chop actually participate in this film in order to re-create the seminal events, and to give plausibility to its content. COPY and UPLOAD. I had this on VHS for several years & had intended to youtube it...And here it is! :)
I remember this film back in the mid 50's as a youngster. it was on the "Late Show" as we called it then. Got me interested in UFO's that far back. I asked my mother to buy me a book called "Operation Blue Book" back then and devoured every page when I received it. The first pages of the book depicted Cpt. Mantell and his pursuit of a UFO, identifying it, and closed on it. The aftermath was the destruction of Mantel's aircraft. Speculation had it that Mantell was shot down by the UFO.
I remember this propaganda-styled movie-documentary back in the 50's. It still had that WWII style with the hysterical announcer barking his lines and stiff actors acting out their parts. The marching music was especially entertaining. "This is NOT fiction . . . " Uh huh. Yeah. All in all, it was a fun movie.
I am absolutely certain that the producers, the director, cast and crew and the majority of American movie goers who saw this as it debuted were convinced that it would be, "only a matter of time" until our Government broke it's silence and revealed what it knew. Now, over half a century later, despite demands by the public, there are no revelations, no official affirmations, or acknowledgement from our leaders regarding this subject. Half a century-kinda sad aint' it.
Saw this on TCM some years ago. Glad to find it here. The footage is similar to some recent sightings, 64 years later! I believe alien contact is imminent.
If i was an alien n saw how we behave, eg spitting n licking goods in supermarkets n putting it bk n licking public toilet seats n that delpine selling her used johnnys and bath water n cucks drinking it id nuke us.and thats to only mention a few.certainly i wouldnt want to visit n make contact with humans like that😂😂😂😂
you probably dont care at all but does anybody know a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot the password. I love any assistance you can give me.
I was born on July 30th 1952 one day after this Pentagon report was released. My mom said it was a very hot summer in the Northeast. I was born in N.J. But if you look at the Washington news papers during this time, they too will mention a heatwave. This video seems to be accurate and true.
It didn't show the Los Angeles UFO air raid! The National Guard AAA batteries opened up, jets scrambled, air raid sirens, people panicking, almost as bad as the Mercury Theatre production of The War of the Worlds, orchestrated by Orson Welles before 1942! But the LA Invasion was real!
Saw this UFO movie on television in 1961. Tom Towers plays newsman Al Chop who ended up in the UFO business. It's an excellent documentary and includes UFO videos taken by Delbert Neuhouse and Nick Mariana. I agree this should be on the History Channel. I'm sick of the Ancient Aliens series shown on television.
I've seen a brilliant mercury Silver Massive as they call Cigar. Shape over Greymouth South Island, just floating up there, I was with Two friends Mark and penny, Lots of people saw it as it was a Saturday morning and people were playing Sports so they stopped to watch, it didn't make a Sound then just disappeard, a week later I Swear to God, I was wide awake , in bed I Got this Ugly feeling something not Good was in my room, I couldn't move a muscle and felt as if I was Lifting of my bed. I was so Scared I prayed to JESUS to make it stop. I then FORCED myself down got off the bed and went for the door, it was like walking through lead to get to the door, as soon as I forced my hand onto the door knob and opened the door the if you could call the Force that tried to hold me back Suddenly let go. I fell into the hallway ran to my friends room opened his door and Yelled Their HERE !!!!!!!, I've never been so afraid EVER and couldn't sleep without the light for months, I shouldn't have spoke about cause I was Cruelly made fun of. I was in Recon Platoon 2/1 RNZIR, Lead Scout, So I knew what I Saw and Felt, I Learned to shut the fuck up about it, seeing is believing and when non seers, tried to tell me what I did or didn't experience it made me furious as hell, in the Army if I said I saw such and such, No one in my unit would question me. This movie brought it all back especially when the Airforce personal top to bottom said it was Silver and really large like nothing you could imagine up there with not a sound. there's more but enough for now. When and only when you see it then you will know 100% for your Self. K763356 my Service # X RNZIR. Peace out.
No, he's worried about mindless idiots like you, who pick their noses, lose brain cells every time they pull out a bugger, and talk about someone's name, rather than the subject at hand.
Is this somehow related to the 'ufo's are real' or some similar named book written by an air force officer or Officer Rupeldt (sic)? or is that another thing altogether? There's a public domain thing that has an audio book of that nature which is very good. Thanks a lot for this video and movie, it's great!
I wish I had seen this film when I was young. I had seen UFOs ( unidentified flying ordance ) so many times I used to think they were following me.. I have seen flying disc, flying cigar shapes and flying lights( yellow, red, green, orange and white)
Just like all sightings, how can you tell the size of an object , if you have never seen one ( no comparison ) and if you truly don't know the size, how can you judge the distance that it's at ?
I like the narrator - "If not man, then who? If not who, then why? If not where, then whoa, hold on there Mr. Crazy Pants!" Believe it.....you're nuts! This film is as good as anything Ed Wood ever made. Including "Plan 9 From Outer Space" or "Glen Or Glenda".
@24:00 ??? Somewhat mumbled, therefore: "... at PEENEMÜNDE, Germany ... V1 and V2 rockets ...". Peenemünde is a small town where the little River Peene flows into the Baltic Sea. (Münde = Mündung = mouth of a river. Not to be etymologically confused with the lady Rosamunde in the Bohemian Beer Barrel Polka (1927), later sung by the Andrew Sisters and many others, mind you!!). Only a couple of years later, NASA, in fact, greatly benefitted from two gentlemen from V2-Peenemünde. They were Dr. Debus and the much better known Wernher von Braun.
This was one of the first films set to ready the public to the realities of UFO's and what they were. The public at that time was actually quite ready to accept we had made contact with another world. But we kept trying to shoot them down and things were never got to a position where we felt in control. Of course later, we began to realize there were more than one species coming here. Nor did we realize some have been based on the Moon. etc. etc. etc. Go outside at night and watch the stars for awhile, if lucky, you may see some interesting things.
Dumbass. If aliens ever do come here they'll leave immediately because of shit for brains idiot like you. But, yeah, dumbass, you're the only one who can tell a satellite from something that actually changes speed and direction. And I have no doubt people were mistaking satellites for UFOs before there were any satellites in orbit. How about you have a very old turd for a brain. Public school education, right?
Amazing that exact same objects, with the exact same type of witnesses, and the exact same government response still is going on today. The majority of sightings are of "orbs" or "bright lights" and silvery type objects.

You are so right. And dont forget about making you dumb and not being able to think for yourself. Lol. You are a scholar.
I remember this from when I was a kid, I loved all these old docudramas, most I saw were in school but not about UFOs, the 1950s was a weird time evidently...
To me it's worth watching just to see the old planes and cars...
Wow, what a classic! Thanks :-)
@UFOBevy
I was about to be disappointed with the sound. Then I read your comment and hit the MONO switch on my HP4. Boom!
Thanks!
Is that the voice of Harry Morgan at 1:14 (Red Dog 1)?
Yes that was the voice of Harry Morgan
Well, after being CO of 4077th MASH in the Korean War he transferred to the Air Force as a flight surgeon. Had to take an admin bust to Major . That night he was flying backseat as the wizzo on a F-94A Starfire to keep his flight pay. Look that's all I got I can't explain how he then ended up working as a detective with Joe Friday🙄😂
I've heard Harry Morgan's voice forever. I'll swear it was him.
funny story this was shown on tnt monster vision at one time along with other ufo movies my dad recorded them for me on videotape when i finally got to watch it i was really interested in what was happening by the 1 hour 12 minute mark of this film as the pilot was in the middle of the ufo's he was reporting there getting closer closer .. closer and the click ! the tape ran out ! and i never knew what happened until i found this here on you tube thanks for posting ^^
Dramatic looks at each other around the radar table... da, da, daaah...!
Where was this gold nugget been hiding? EXCELLENT! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
Native Americans have known of "star people" for a long time.
I've seen this on tv over the years .It's good.The late Harry Morgan had a voice role in this too....
Many UFO sightings in that 47-56's era were secret USAF planes made in Groom Lake. This documentary is a pioneer in this field and should be watched with critical open mind. Thanks for this :D
Did your mom have any children who weren't born with severe brain damage?
Area 51 was where most of those aircraft came from. Very close to Groom Lake. Indeed since know of this is common place, you don't ever heard of UFO'S anymore.
Wrong try googling "latest UFO sightings" and see what you get.
Being a Troll is so cool,everybody looks up to Trolls.
Im sure most still are Military aircraft,people forget the Military is 50 to 70 years ahead of what we know,The stealth Bomber was made in the 70s,just think what we have today.
This was a very well done and interesting film.
it is film that looks at whole UFO reports in clear and logic way with the hysteria and makes 2 things clear the USA military was investigating them and knew they existed. They told the news media these were not real. All I can say is I know for several years what I saw and it was not airplane or kite or swamp gas..
That thing just blew my doors off sir they must think we are really a bunch of backwoods hicks trying to catch them with prop planes !
@@raphaelandrews3617 If you want to see UFOs come to Arizona. They hover over boulder Dam and draw power from the huge generators that furnish power to 3 states. California, Nevada, & Arizona.
To me,this is nostalgic,...the documentary style,the old planes,cars,styles,different era.....yeah,same old stuff,but kinda cool....
Saw this film on tv back in the mid 1960's when I was a kid it sparked my life long interest in UFO matters
I find it easier to believe that we have been visited by beings from another star system than there is a kid named Chip Chop.
This video is an important piece of history!!!
...why? Because it was created to ease the populous of the United States into the fact that we are being visited. THESE ARE NOT ACTORS! The military figures and Al Chop actually participate in this film in order to re-create the seminal events, and to give plausibility to its content. COPY and UPLOAD. I had this on VHS for several years & had intended to youtube it...And here it is! :)
Dont shit ur pants.. theres still plenty of fake movies for you to lose ur mind over..have you seen blair witch omg its real...dude honestly...?
I remember having read that Life magazine report when I was ten in 1956 at a doctors office in Vancouver..
nice fun period film of the 50's
I remember this film back in the mid 50's as a youngster. it was on the "Late Show" as we called it then. Got me interested in UFO's that far back. I asked my mother to buy me a book called "Operation Blue Book" back then and devoured every page when I received it. The first pages of the book depicted Cpt. Mantell and his pursuit of a UFO, identifying it, and closed on it. The aftermath was the destruction of Mantel's aircraft. Speculation had it that Mantell was shot down by the UFO.
Terrific! Thanks!
Another great upload Mr. Bevy. You da man! Thanks!
Now of course everyone would believe Major General Roger Ramey (Roswell fame) right?
Interesting that there is no mention of Roswell.
I remember this propaganda-styled movie-documentary back in the 50's. It still had that WWII style with the hysterical announcer barking his lines and stiff actors acting out their parts. The marching music was especially entertaining. "This is NOT fiction . . . " Uh huh. Yeah. All in all, it was a fun movie.
The army platoon I was in saw this type UFO in Korea one night. There were several more . Maybe 12 or so.
I was looking for this movie, I remember when I saw it when I was young.
Great film
Great stuff!
@Steelsixtysix Yes only one speaker, if listening through headphones try changing audio settings to mono.. sorry old film.
I am absolutely certain that the producers, the director, cast and crew and the majority of American movie goers who saw this as it debuted were convinced that it would be, "only a matter of time" until our Government broke it's silence and revealed what it knew. Now, over half a century later, despite demands by the public, there are no revelations, no official affirmations, or acknowledgement from our leaders regarding this subject. Half a century-kinda sad aint' it.
Saw this on TCM some years ago. Glad to find it here. The footage is similar to some recent sightings, 64 years later! I believe alien contact is imminent.
If i was an alien n saw how we behave, eg spitting n licking goods in supermarkets n putting it bk n licking public toilet seats n that delpine selling her used johnnys and bath water n cucks drinking it id nuke us.and thats to only mention a few.certainly i wouldnt want to visit n make contact with humans like that😂😂😂😂
Or already happened
Life Magazine was really a great magazine - but also a social engineering tool as any mass media is.
you probably dont care at all but does anybody know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the password. I love any assistance you can give me.
@Zayne Yael instablaster =)
Great docu-drama. FYI: that writing in the note pad was short-hand.
THIS ISLAND 🏝️ EARTH 🌎
Great sci-fi movie!
1955
This is a shocking. Film that info has mentioned in others sources. A real jewel of a movie. Keep as favorites historical accurate reference.
I was born on July 30th 1952 one day after this Pentagon report was released. My mom said it was a very hot summer in the Northeast. I was born in N.J. But if you look at the Washington news papers during this time, they too will mention a heatwave. This video seems to be accurate and true.
It didn't show the Los Angeles UFO air raid! The National Guard AAA batteries opened up, jets scrambled, air raid sirens, people panicking, almost as bad as the Mercury Theatre production of The War of the Worlds, orchestrated by Orson Welles before 1942! But the LA Invasion was real!
okee dokee
Nice a classic film.
Saw this UFO movie on television in 1961. Tom Towers plays newsman Al Chop who ended up in the UFO business. It's an excellent documentary and includes UFO videos taken by Delbert Neuhouse and Nick Mariana. I agree this should be on the History Channel. I'm sick of the Ancient Aliens series shown on television.
at about 6 minutes they quote something that happened in 1948. Cars in the picture are 1955.
That was brilliant, great stuff.
I heard that half way through the production, the director pulled the actors aside and told them to act natural but they just stared at him.
I've seen a brilliant mercury Silver Massive as they call Cigar. Shape over Greymouth South Island, just floating up there, I was with Two friends Mark and penny, Lots of people saw it as it was a Saturday morning and people were playing Sports so they stopped to watch, it didn't make a Sound then just disappeard, a week later I Swear to God, I was wide awake , in bed I Got this Ugly feeling something not Good was in my room, I couldn't move a muscle and felt as if I was Lifting of my bed. I was so Scared I prayed to JESUS to make it stop. I then FORCED myself down got off the bed and went for the door, it was like walking through lead to get to the door, as soon as I forced my hand onto the door knob and opened the door the if you could call the Force that tried to hold me back Suddenly let go. I fell into the hallway ran to my friends room opened his door and Yelled Their HERE !!!!!!!, I've never been so afraid EVER and couldn't sleep without the light for months, I shouldn't have spoke about cause I was Cruelly made fun of. I was in Recon Platoon 2/1 RNZIR, Lead Scout, So I knew what I Saw and Felt, I Learned to shut the fuck up about it, seeing is believing and when non seers, tried to tell me what I did or didn't experience it made me furious as hell, in the Army if I said I saw such and such, No one in my unit would question me. This movie brought it all back especially when the Airforce personal top to bottom said it was Silver and really large like nothing you could imagine up there with not a sound. there's more but enough for now. When and only when you see it then you will know 100% for your Self. K763356 my Service # X RNZIR. Peace out.
Ok, so his son's name is Chip Chop? And he's worried about aliens?
No, he's worried about mindless idiots like you, who pick their noses, lose brain cells every time they pull out a bugger, and talk about someone's name, rather than the subject at hand.
CHOP IS AN ALIAS , nanoonanoo
As a half native American, Half Asian who partakes in legal cannabis ..I think the name CHOP used in this movie; , is racist.
@@rictherealtor lol
@@jamesaritchie1 tf is wrong with you , you sub septic, sentient, excuse for a garbage can?
And the testimony of the photographer's far superior of the film
min 2:30 They mention Maj.Gen Ramey right off the bat , its bonafide.
You can't measure the size of the universe or even describe the universe...but in all that space they can't explain, we are alone. Um..sure.
I still dig the old skool stuff
Is this somehow related to the 'ufo's are real' or some similar named book written by an air force officer or Officer Rupeldt (sic)? or is that another thing altogether? There's a public domain thing that has an audio book of that nature which is very good. Thanks a lot for this video and movie, it's great!
I wish I had seen this film when I was young. I had seen UFOs ( unidentified flying ordance ) so many times I used to think they were following me.. I have seen flying disc, flying cigar shapes and flying lights( yellow, red, green, orange and white)
The flying saucer craze spawned the frisbee craze!
I've got the feeling this film is going to be an important film in the future... Just a feeling not a prophecy. Peace!
"The truth IS out there.'
Brilliant documentary
This is an important documentary pre-dating the official clamp-down of information and the covert campaign of debunkers and "skeptics."
The movie is great!
Red Dog 1 sounds like Harry Morgan. 1:14:40
Just like all sightings, how can you tell the size of an object , if you have never seen one ( no comparison ) and if you truly don't know the size, how can you judge the distance that it's at ?
Most strange thing about movie is al chop had a son named chip.🤔
Thumbs up brother.
Knew it all along... Riveting documentary!!
I like the narrator - "If not man, then who? If not who, then why? If not where, then whoa, hold on there Mr. Crazy Pants!" Believe it.....you're nuts! This film is as good as anything Ed Wood ever made. Including "Plan 9 From Outer Space" or "Glen Or Glenda".
This looks like disclosure to me.
@24:00 ??? Somewhat mumbled, therefore: "... at PEENEMÜNDE, Germany ... V1 and V2 rockets ...".
Peenemünde is a small town where the little River Peene flows into the Baltic Sea. (Münde = Mündung = mouth of a river. Not to be etymologically confused with the lady Rosamunde in the Bohemian Beer Barrel Polka (1927), later sung by the Andrew Sisters and many others, mind you!!).
Only a couple of years later, NASA, in fact, greatly benefitted from two gentlemen from V2-Peenemünde. They were Dr. Debus and the much better known Wernher von Braun.
Creepy.
Why is there no audio?
This was one of the first films set to ready the public to the realities of UFO's and what they were. The public at that time was actually quite ready to accept we had made contact with another world. But we kept trying to shoot them down and things were never got to a position where we felt in control. Of course later, we began to realize there were more than one species coming here. Nor did we realize some have been based on the Moon. etc. etc. etc. Go outside at night and watch the stars for awhile, if lucky, you may see some interesting things.
Dumbass. If aliens ever do come here they'll leave immediately because of shit for brains idiot like you. But, yeah, dumbass, you're the only one who can tell a satellite from something that actually changes speed and direction.
And I have no doubt people were mistaking satellites for UFOs before there were any satellites in orbit.
How about you have a very old turd for a brain. Public school education, right?
Amazing that exact same objects, with the exact same type of witnesses, and the exact same government response still is going on today. The majority of sightings are of "orbs" or "bright lights" and silvery type objects.
Watching this right this moment on the Comet channel. 9-17-16 10:23am CDT. Interesting...kind of.
THIS IS ALL TRUE!
The Bex from MUFON that recentaly did a ufo report?
