The Hill Abduction/Zeta Reticuli Incident
The year was 1961. The Hills were driving home one evening when they saw a strange light following them, and they “woke up” home a few hours later with very little memory of the drive back. What’s even more strange is that their clothes were ripped and their watches had died and stayed dead even after they got the batteries replaced. The Hills later regained their memories with the help of a hypnotherapist, and both reported being probed and experimented on by short, grey-skinned humanoids.
The Ariel School UFO Incident
In 1994, at the Ariel school in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, 60 children reported seeing a UFO with “big eyes” in the bushland near their playground. The children described these beings as having big heads, no mouths, long dark hair, and holes or slits where their noses should be. According to the children, these beings told them telepathically that the world was going to end. The incident has been dismissed as mass hysteria, but who knows what really happened there?
The Rendlesham Forest Incident
In 1980, U.S. military personnel saw an aircraft zip through the Rendlesham forest and went to investigate. What they found was an object “metallic in appearance and triangular in shape... [that] illuminated the entire forest with a white light.” Some say that it’s most likely the incident was a prank played on them by the British military. But then again, that sounds a lot like what someone would say if they were trying to cover something up!
The Melbourne 350/The Westall UFO
On April 6, 1966, over 300 students and staff from a Melbourne school said they witnessed five planes apparently trying to corner and capture a UFO. This went on for about 20 minutes until the UFO shot away and vanished. Men in dark suits reportedly came to the school to warn the students and staff never to speak of the incident, and it was mostly kept a secret until witnesses started speaking about it 50 years later.
Japan Air Lines Cargo Flight 1628
In 1986 a cargo aircraft en route from Paris to Narita International Airport was accosted by several UFOs that surrounded the plane. The crew reported seeing aircrafts with two rectangular arrays of what looked like thrusters, and a much larger disc-shaped object that trailed them. The plane made an emergency landing in Anchorage, Alaska, where Anchorage Air Traffic Control tried—and failed—to detect the UFOs.
