00:00Okay, there's a white thing up there. It's been there for a long time.
00:04Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most notable and controversial videos and photos of unidentified aerial phenomena.
00:12Maybe there's some other stuff out there.
00:16Number 30, the Bakersfield Blue Light.
00:19In 2015, residents of a Bakersfield, California neighborhood concurred that there was a mysterious blue light in the sky.
00:25I was taking the recycling out to the trash can, and I was walking back, and I saw, like, this blue light in the sky, and I was like, that's kind of bright to be a star.
00:34Not only that, but the light was moving, as shown in footage that one of the residents caught.
00:38In fact, the neighbors claimed to have seen the blue light before.
00:42The flash along with the movement of the object is certainly eye-catching.
00:45It pretty much flew, stopped, and then started doing some upward motion and downward motion.
00:51It's no wonder the residents thought something out of the ordinary was transpiring above them.
00:55While the country's senior deputy offered a possible explanation, witnesses shot it down.
00:59We are in the age of drones now.
01:01You know, obviously we have military drones, but there are civilian drones and drones for purchase, so, you know, that is a possibility.
01:09It looks way too high up in the sky to be a drone.
01:11Whatever it was, it was hard to explain, and it left local residents mystified.
01:16Number 29, streaks in the Australian skies.
01:20Two shining streaks in Queensland, Australia left onlookers perplexed.
01:25Reportedly, hundreds saw this aerial oddity in 2021.
01:29The order and unison in which they moved across the sky was certainly noticeable.
01:34Not only that, but take a look at the light that seemingly blinks when the camera zooms in.
01:38You can tell by the voices in the background that they could not believe what they were seeing.
01:42Hundreds report seeing these streaking objects, and some suspect they are somehow connected to a secret base almost 1,000 miles away.
01:49At first glance, meteors may seem like a viable explanation, but expert analysis suggests they weren't moving fast enough to be meteors.
01:57So could it have been a UFO?
01:59Well, nothing is certain, but an astronomer suggests it was most likely space debris from a Chinese rocket.
02:05The lightweight materials burn up and fall away first, and the heavy materials like the engines, those continue for quite some time.
02:13Nonetheless, what an unexpected and unusual thing to see.
02:16Number 28. The Baseball Manager Incident
02:19Nick Mariana, a baseball coach in Great Falls, Montana, was doing a pregame stroll around the ballpark when he saw two spinning silvery objects moving speedily through the sky.
02:28They appeared to be moving directly south.
02:30So he filmed it, creating what is generally considered one of the earliest videos of a supposed UFO.
02:36It was 1950.
02:38What followed were disputable explanations, controversy about missing film frames, a lawsuit filed against a UFO skeptic, and extensive video analysis.
02:47Mariana's footage was also shown in the 1956 film UFO, in which he detailed his experience in an interview.
02:59All these years later.
03:00What Mariana really filmed that day remains a debate.
03:03The Great Falls Minor League Baseball team was renamed the Voyagers in honor of the historic UFO incident.
03:09Number 27. Leaked Classified Government Footage
03:13People have their preconceptions of what the shape of a typical UFO is.
03:16A 2009 infrared video caught by a U.S. Department of Homeland Security agent, though, opened eyes to another possibility.
03:23Its odd shape has an uncanny resemblance to everyone's favorite bath toy.
03:28The rubber duck UFO footage was not supposed to be released to the public, but it was.
03:33So what really was that bizarre object flying near the U.S.-Mexico border?
03:37The footage puzzled experts in the analysis of unidentified aerial phenomena.
03:41A drone was ruled out as an explanation.
03:44If this is a quadcopter drone, we should see those rotors spinning. We never see that.
03:49One science writer and forensic video analyst hypothesized it was balloons.
03:53One possibility is this rubber duck shape is actually a bunch of balloons.
03:57We have some of them at the bottom of the body, and then the upper one is the head.
04:02The History Channel series The Proof is Out There deemed it a genuine UFO due to a lack of substantiated identification.
04:09Number 26. Pilot's Footage in Colombia
04:12Soaring through the skies over Colombia at about 30,000 feet in altitude, a pilot was engrossed by something else in the sky.
04:19It wasn't just another plane.
04:21A metallic-looking object, a polyhedron of some sort, whizzes by in a straight line.
04:25His video, filmed in 2020, appears to show a metallic cube-like object moving above the clouds.
04:31The zoom-in on the potentially unearthly object provides a better view of what was going on.
04:36If not a plane, missile, or drone, maybe it was a solar balloon?
04:40They rise as the air inside warms and expands.
04:43That explanation isn't likely either, apparently.
04:46Thus, could it be deemed a UFO?
04:49The History Channel series The Proof is Out There reached their verdict.
04:52The process of elimination will go with genuine UFO.
04:56Number 25. The Bracknell Pub Incident
04:59A man named Steve Lambert was outside a pub in Bracknell, England,
05:02making a phone call when he saw what appeared to be two glowing disks in the sky.
05:07Who would blame him if he dropped his phone in awe at that point?
05:10Instead, he quickly captured this photo.
05:13Perhaps after Lambert took the photo,
05:15it was a good time to go back inside the pub to have a beer and contemplate what just happened.
05:23Lambert claimed the objects moved faster than any normal aircraft.
05:26Nick Pope, a former employee at the British Government's Ministry of Defense,
05:30investigated UFO phenomena during his tenure.
05:33After seeing this photo, he called it, quote,
05:35one of the best UFO photos he'd seen.
05:39Number 24. The Orange County Highway Workers Photographs
05:42It would certainly warrant pulling the car over
05:44if you saw what Rex Heflin did near Santa Ana, California in 1965.
05:49I first observed it out the left window of the cab,
05:52and I thought it was a conventional aircraft at the time.
05:55Working as a highway maintenance engineer,
05:57Heflin was out checking for any obscured traffic signs
06:00when a strange object in the sky came into his line of vision.
06:03He had a Polaroid camera with him to capture the aerial anomaly.
06:06I think they're remarkable photographs, not because I took them,
06:09but because what they portrayed and show.
06:12When questioned, a local Marine base denied any known involvement with experimental aircraft.
06:17Heflin later explained having the original photos taken from him.
06:21His photos gained widespread publicity around the world,
06:24and were considered, quote,
06:25probably genuine by a highly respected physicist and ufologist at the time.
06:30Ever since, many people have come to view what Heflin photographed as a legit UFO.
06:35Have you seen any other UFOs since?
06:37No, no.
06:39Number 23. The El Yeso Reservoir Family Picnic Incident
06:43In 2010, a mother was out with her family,
06:45enjoying the day at the El Yeso Reservoir located within the Andes Mountains of Chile.
06:50Why not take some photos?
06:51One of the photos shows the sun shining in the middle of bright white clouds.
06:55Above it, to the left, is a band of reddish clouds.
06:58Little did she know at the time, she may have just photographed a UFO.
07:02After returning home and reviewing the pictures,
07:04she realized the irregular nature of what she had captured.
07:07One particular photo appears to display a strange saucer-shaped object
07:11nestled within reddish clouds.
07:13Look closer. It blends in.
07:15The Chilean government examined it
07:17and then sent it to the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena,
07:21also known as NARCAP.
07:22Ted Rowe, the program's executive director,
07:25analyzed the picture and ultimately deemed the object an unidentified aerial phenomenon.
07:30This study resolves that this is in fact an external anomaly.
07:34Number 22.
07:35Glowing Orbs Around Mexico's El Popo Volcano
07:38A webcam in Mexico City caught something rather unusual near El Popo Volcano in 2017.
07:44In this instance, a bright orb was seen ascending in the sky.
07:48But look closely. The light flies closer and closer to the camera,
07:51when suddenly,
07:54it explodes into a glowing orb and climbs up into the atmosphere.
07:57The video was explained as most likely being landing lights from a plane.
08:02But what about this video near El Popo where there are multiple glowing orbs?
08:06Now that's harder to explain.
08:12In the series The Proof Is Out There,
08:14an astronomer and video effects designer examined the video
08:17and struggled to come up with a plausible explanation.
08:19If there really is no satisfactory explanation,
08:22these orbs could justifiably be classified as unidentified aerial phenomena.
08:27If they're real, they're acting unlike anything I've seen.
08:30Number 21.
08:31Navy Pilot's Cell Phone Footage
08:33Since 2020, the US government has taken steps toward increased transparency
08:38regarding unidentified aerial phenomena investigations.
08:41It's reflective in this video, somewhat reflective,
08:44and it quickly passes by the cockpit of the aircraft.
08:49During a congressional hearing,
08:50a Navy pilot's 2021 video of a potential UFO was brought up.
08:55It was inexplicable.
08:56Shortly before the video was filmed,
08:58the pilot was informed of a seemingly bizarre object nearby.
09:06So he scanned his surroundings
09:07and then captured video of a rapidly moving object
09:10without visible means of propulsion.
09:12An aviation expert appearing on the History Channel's The Proof Is Out There series
09:16struggled to classify it as an earthly object.
09:19What that object really was is up in the air.
09:26Number 20.
09:27The Hebei Incident
09:28Set against the backdrop of Tianjin, Hebei Province, China,
09:31this photo can be traced back to at least 1942,
09:34although some argue it was actually snapped in 1911.
09:38Either way, Japanese student Masujiro Kiryu
09:40stumbled upon it in his father's photo album during World War II.
09:44The photo was reportedly taken by an American serviceman
09:47with several onlookers gazing up at the flying saucer-like object above.
09:50Of course, many have argued that it was a bird, a streetlight, or even a hat.
09:55We guess you could say it's all up in the air.
09:58Number 19.
09:59The Belgian UFO Wave
10:01In late November 1989,
10:03Belgium started receiving numerous reports of a UFO.
10:06Various people described the UFO as a giant triangle
10:09with a flat surface and lights below,
10:11and the reports kept coming well into early 1990,
10:14reaching a crescendo in late March of that year.
10:17When a UFO was picked up on radar one night,
10:19two Air Force pilots investigated, coming up empty-handed.
10:23While they didn't see anything,
10:24143 other individuals supposedly did.
10:28For over 20 years,
10:30ufological group Sobep claimed the photo was authentic,
10:33but the photographer eventually revealed it was a hoax.
10:36Writer Marc Allais attributed the Belgian UFO wave
10:39to the media and Sobep spreading misinformation,
10:42causing a mass delusion.
10:43Indeed, there is something going on in Belgium
10:47which is beyond our control.
10:49Number 18.
10:50Houston, We Have a Problem
10:52In August 2014,
10:53social media was bombarded with photos of a UFO
10:56hovering over Houston, Texas.
10:58Taken from different spots around the area,
11:00the UFO seemingly consisted of several lights forming a ring.
11:03At the center, you can make out a single orb,
11:06as if the other circular lights are revolving around it.
11:09The UFO almost shares a resemblance to Saturn,
11:12although some experts have theorized
11:14there's nothing otherworldly about it.
11:16Fletcher Gray of the Mutual UFO Network
11:18deduced it likely stemmed from nearby highway lights.
11:21It's also worth noting that Houston endured
11:23a thunder and lightning storm that night,
11:25which may have contributed.
11:27Still, how fitting would it be if alien life visited Space City?
11:31Number 17.
11:32The Kumburgaz UFO Video
11:34In 2007, a Turkish night guard named Yalcin Yanman
11:38working in Istanbul's Holiday Village
11:40noticed strange activity in the sky and started filming.
11:43He kept his eyes on the skies throughout the next few years,
11:46recording a treasure trove of UFO footage.
11:49The UFO that repeatedly pops up in these videos
11:51certainly looks like a spacecraft,
11:53even calling to mind the ones from War of the Worlds.
11:55Upon further inspection,
11:57some claim that you can spot two alien heads
11:59peeping out of what appears to be a window or a door.
12:02Our eyes may be deceiving us,
12:04but ufologist Nick Pope described Yanman's findings
12:06as, quote,
12:07a turning point for Turkish UFO studies,
12:09adding, quote,
12:10the authorities can no longer turn a blind eye to this phenomenon.
12:14Number 16.
12:15New Mexico 1957
12:18Ever since the Roswell UFO incident in 1947,
12:21New Mexico has been a hotspot for alleged alien activity.
12:25Almost 10 years after the historic sighting,
12:27New Mexico local Ella Louise Fortune
12:29had another close encounter of sorts.
12:31Cruising down Highway 54 on October 16, 1957,
12:35the nurse took a photo of a bright white flying disc.
12:38The UFO reportedly hovered around
12:40the Holloman Air Development Center for 15 minutes.
12:42That said,
12:43the fact this occurred near an Air Force base
12:45might provide a logical explanation.
12:47Even after the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization
12:50studied the imagery, though,
12:51nobody could come up with a conclusive answer.
12:54Number 15.
12:55The Lubbock Lights
12:56In August 1951,
12:58three Texas Technological College professors
13:00noticed somewhere between 20 and 30 lights shimmering in the sky.
13:04Five days later,
13:05Texas Tech freshman Carl Hart Jr.
13:07gazed out his bedroom window
13:08to find a cluster of lights forming a V shape.
13:11Hart managed to take five photos of the lights,
13:13getting them published in various newspapers and Life magazine.
13:16This caught the attention of the Air Force,
13:18which launched an investigation.
13:20At first,
13:21they believed the Lubbock Lights were really plovers.
13:23The Air Force eventually announced
13:25that it wasn't a bird or a spaceship,
13:27but a, quote,
13:28easily explainable natural phenomenon,
13:30without unveiling what the phenomenon actually was.
13:33Well, that's not suspicious at all.
13:35Number 14.
13:36Salem, Massachusetts, 1952
13:39As if being the site of infamous witch trials
13:42wasn't bad enough,
13:43Salem was also invaded by aliens at one point.
13:46Okay, maybe we're exaggerating just a tad,
13:48but this was definitely a weird occurrence.
13:51On August 3, 1952,
13:53a U.S. Coast Guard looked outside a lab
13:55to find four large vibrant lights up above.
13:58The 21-year-old guard snapped a photo through a window,
14:00and people have been making calculated guesses
14:02as to the exact nature of these objects ever since.
14:06Flying saucers?
14:07A witch's spell?
14:08Lamp lights?
14:09In any case, Salem just got even eerier.
14:12Number 13.
14:13ISS Light Beam
14:15In 2016, a video surfaced on YouTube
14:18from NASA's live feed of the International Space Station,
14:21seemingly showing an object making atmospheric entry.
14:24The feed was then suspiciously cut off,
14:26although NASA claims that this was due to technical difficulties,
14:29and the object was likely debris or lights from Earth.
14:32However, a subsequent video from the same feed
14:35showed what appeared to be a similar object departing Earth,
14:38followed by a bright golden beam of light.
14:40Is this a UFO leaving the Earth, making the jump to hyperspace?
14:44These are real images from the International Space Station's live feed.
14:47They show a spherical object leaving the vicinity of the Earth
14:50and traveling upwards.
14:52As the object disappears, a beam of light shoots out.
14:55This wouldn't be the last time that conspiracy theorists
14:57gravitated towards the ISS.
14:59In 2020, the feed captured another object moving over Earth.
15:03It was later reported that this was a retired
15:05communications component being jettisoned,
15:07although we're definitely keeping a close watch on the ISS.
15:11We discard of our trash and equipment
15:16that's been put through its paces and is now retired.
15:21Number 12, the STS-48 incident.
15:24Tony, what can you tell us about this last-minute delay
15:26and what's happening right now?
15:28Launched on September 12, 1991,
15:30the STS-48 mission's goal was to deploy satellites
15:33from the Space Shuttle Discovery.
15:35This scene shows the actual release of URs with the mechanical arm.
15:39The arm is being backed away from the spacecraft.
15:42In UFO circles, though, the mission is best remembered
15:45for footage captured on September 15.
15:47While not easy to make out,
15:49the video shows objects zooming by
15:51and bright lights flashing in Earth's orbit.
15:53According to NASA, these were ice particles
15:56responding to the engine jets.
15:58Astronomer Phil Plait has backed up these claims,
16:00but we gotta admit, the believer in us likes to wonder.
16:03It's not the only space shuttle mission
16:05to have caught ufologists' eyes.
16:07In 1996, footage from STS-75
16:10seemed to show objects buzzing around
16:12the broken tether of a drifting satellite.
16:14Debris or curious visitors?
16:16Number 11, the Kaikoura Lights.
16:18It's only fitting that the Kaikoura Lights
16:20surfaced the year after Star Wars
16:22and close encounters of the third kind hit theaters.
16:30New Zealand's Kaikoura mountain ranges
16:32caught the media's attention on December 21, 1978,
16:35when a cargo plane crew observed house-sized lights
16:38flashing around the aircraft for several minutes.
16:52Air traffic control specialists from Wellington
16:54tracked the lights, which an Australian television crew
16:57then recorded in color.
16:58The TV crew came along for the cargo plane's next flight
17:01from Wellington back to Christchurch.
17:03Shortly after takeoff, the crew captured footage
17:05of a giant illuminated orb.
17:07New Zealand's Ministry of Defence
17:09has provided several possible explanations,
17:11including lights from boats, cars, or Venus,
17:14but alternative explanations abound.
17:17Others say it could have been an unusually bright sighting of Venus
17:20or merely radio and light wave transmissions.
17:23But for those who believe,
17:25even the publication of such sightings is a breakthrough.
17:28Number 10, the Black Knight Satellite.
17:30The Black Knight Satellite remains one of the most famous
17:33conspiracy theories in UFO circles.
17:35It's said that this mysterious satellite
17:37has been orbiting Earth for 13,000 years.
17:40In 1954, UFO investigator Donald Kehoe
17:43claimed that the Air Force had discovered
17:45two artificial satellites.
17:46Despite the fact that such technology did not exist at the time,
17:49it would be another three years
17:51until we launched the first artificial satellite, Sputnik.
17:54Regardless, various newspapers like the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
17:57and San Francisco Examiner picked up the story.
18:00The Black Knight regained interest in 1998
18:03when NASA released this photo from the STS-88 mission.
18:06While most would agree it was space debris,
18:09others are not letting go of their Black Knight theory.
18:12Number 9, the Phoenix Lights.
18:14The Phoenix Lights have inspired a documentary
18:16and multiple horror movies.
18:18But nobody can say for sure what happened on March 13, 1997.
18:34This incident can be broken into two phases.
18:36First, a V-shaped formation was seen flying over Phoenix,
18:39although little footage exists of this event,
18:42the footage we do have is low quality.
18:44There's more documentation of the second event,
18:46which saw five circular lights floating in the night sky.
18:56Even with numerous photographs, videos, and eyewitness accounts, though,
19:00a giant question mark continues to hover over Phoenix.
19:03While the U.S. Air Force chalked the lights up to military flares,
19:06many have argued against these claims.
19:08And even Arizona Governor Fife Symington
19:10described what he saw as, quote, otherworldly.
19:24Number 8, the Chilean Navy.
19:25The Chilean government agency which investigates UFOs
19:28or Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon
19:30has declassified and released never-before-seen video from 2014
19:35showing a mysterious flying object,
19:37of which they suggest could have been a UFO.
19:40A little speck can certainly stir up a lot of speculation.
19:43In 2017, the Chilean government agency tasked with examining UFO sightings
19:48released footage of a flying object that defied explanation.
19:52The footage, which had been classified for almost three years,
19:55was taken by the Chilean Navy from a helicopter during the day.
19:58The pilot failed to make contact with the object,
20:01which moved like another helicopter.
20:03Even more curious, the object didn't pop up on air traffic control radar.
20:07In two instances, the object ejected some type of gas or liquid
20:11with high thermal tracking.
20:13Captured on video, you can see a massive plume of material
20:17trailing behind the object.
20:19Most mysterious of all, the UFO released an unknown substance
20:22and vanished into the sky.
20:24Experts were stumped, with the agency's director saying, quote,
20:28We do not know what it was, but we do not know what it was not.
20:32Well, that's reassuring.
20:34After an extensive study, the Committee for the Study of Anonymous Aerial Phenomena
20:38agreed it had all the characteristics to be classified
20:41as an unidentified aerial phenomenon.
20:44Number 7. The Battle of Los Angeles
20:46This incident took place in February of 1942,
20:49three months after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor.
20:52Receiving word of another possible attack,
20:54air raid sirens went off around Los Angeles County
20:57and the area endured a blackout.
20:59Throughout the night, 1,400 shells were fired into the air.
21:02Five people died as a result, and property damage was significant.
21:07Although it reportedly turned out to be a false alarm,
21:10the LA Times published a photo of the air raid
21:12with searchlights directed at what looked like a spaceship.
21:15While the photo was touched up, this didn't stop ufologists
21:18from holding it up as evidence.
21:20The theory even inspired the 2011 film Battle Los Angeles.
21:25Number 6. Mexican Air Force Video
21:35On March 5, 2004, the Mexican Air Force recorded footage
21:39of 11 UFOs at 11,500 feet above southern Campeche State.
21:44Surrounding a military jet, these lights were detected
21:47during a routine search for drug traffickers.
21:49Jets pursued the UFOs, but eventually gave up and the objects disappeared.
21:53While some believe this was the work of flares,
21:55explanations also range from ball lightning
21:58to a meteorite deteriorating in Earth's atmosphere.
22:01Whatever these objects were,
22:02infrared equipment operator Lieutenant Mario Adrian Vasquez
22:05is convinced that they were, quote,
22:07completely real.
22:08Pilot Major Magdaleno Castagnon went so far as to suggest
22:11that the UFOs knew they were being pursued.
22:14Number 5. The Aguadilla Airport Incident
22:19Even by UFO standards, this one's perplexing.
22:22It all started in April 2013 at the Rafael Hernandez Airport,
22:26located in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.
22:28A video was taken of an unknown object swiftly flying over land
22:31and then seeming to submerge underwater.
22:34After doing so multiple times, the object appears to split in two.
22:38Supposedly, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
22:41tried to keep this under wraps,
22:42but the video was eventually leaked by an anonymous whistleblower.
22:45A group known as the Scientific Coalition for Ufology
22:48was responsible for posting the footage online.
22:51According to the SCU website, it, quote,
22:59Number 4. The McMinnville UFO Photographs
23:02In 1950, Evelyn Trent noticed an ominous object
23:05levitating around her family's farm in McMinnville, Oregon.
23:08She alerted her husband, Paul,
23:10who took a couple of photographs before the UFO departed west.
23:13In another account they gave,
23:15Evelyn and Paul both saw the UFO at the same time in their backyard.
23:18Either way, the farming couple's pictures eventually made their way
23:21into Life magazine and other publications,
23:24igniting one of the most heated debates in UFO history.
23:27Physicist Bruce McAbee believes that the UFO in the photos
23:30was, quote,
23:33Non-believers like Philip J. Klass and Robert Schaefer, meanwhile,
23:36say the photos were faked.
23:38The Condon Committee's investigation fell somewhere in between.
23:41Whatever you think,
23:42few UFO sightings have inspired this much analysis.
23:46Number 3. GoFast
23:48Our top three UFO sightings are actually part of a package,
23:51although each has a distinctive signature.
24:01Filmed by the US Navy and published online in the late 2010s,
24:04they were declassified and officially released by the Pentagon in 2020.
24:12Released under the file name GoFast,
24:14this video was taken over the East Coast in January 2015
24:17by an FA-18F Super Hornet
24:19during the USS Theodore Roosevelt UFO incidents.
24:22The footage was captured using Raytheon's Advanced Targeting
24:25Forward-Looking Infrared Pod, or ATFLIR,
24:28and just as entertaining as the footage itself
24:30is the fighter pilot's comments.
24:32While the audio is somewhat hard to understand,
24:34you can certainly grasp the astonishment they experienced
24:37while watching the object.
24:38Oh my gosh, dude!
24:40Wow, look at that!
24:41Look at that fly!
24:43Number 2. FLIR-1
24:45It's a clear blue sky, there's no wind,
24:48and you see this tic-tac, it's just this white object
24:51that's randomly moving around.
24:54It makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up a little bit.
24:57Also released by the Pentagon,
24:59FLIR-1 was filmed on November 14, 2004
25:02around the San Diego coastline.
25:04Like GoFast,
25:05this video was also taken aboard a Super Hornet using ATFLIR.
25:08The footage was captured during the USS Nimitz UFO incident,
25:12in which the Navy had a radar visual encounter.
25:14The video centers on a dark round object
25:17that suddenly moves slightly to the left.
25:19After lingering a little while longer,
25:21the object quickly darts even further
25:23until it's completely out of sight.
25:25Commander David Fravor can't tell you exactly what the object was,
25:28but he recalls that it, quote,
25:30accelerated like nothing he'd ever seen.
25:33There's no propulsion, there's no wings.
25:35It rapidly accelerates and disappears.
25:37Like, poof, gone.
25:39Weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life.
25:42I chased a UFO.

25:59Number 1. Gimbal
26:01Rounding out this trio of UFO videos is Gimbal,
26:04which the Navy captured the same year as GO FAST.
26:13Often getting mixed up with the USS Nimitz UFO incident,
26:16this sighting actually took place aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt
26:19by the coast of Florida.
26:20Out of the three videos,
26:21the object in Gimbal arguably looks the most like a flying saucer.
26:25Before you jump to any conclusions,
26:27skeptical investigator Mick West
26:29has called all three of these sightings into question,
26:31believing the Gimbal object is just a plane.
26:37Honestly, the world may never know.
26:39If you think this is all of the UFO information
26:42that the U.S. government's been sitting on,
26:43former Senator Harry Reid claims that it, quote,
26:46only scratches the surface.
26:48I don't think no one has the answers.
26:51And that is too bad because there are answers out there.
26:54But we're not going to get answers just by hoping they come.
26:57It's going to have to take some work.
