The stories about alien visitors are almost as old as humanity itself. And this is not an exaggeration: the first evidence of a UFO encounter dates back to 1440 BC. Every year in every country in the world, people turn to the authorities with information about what they saw, touched, and even were abducted by aliens. Naturally, most of these stories are silly fiction. However, there is another category, which includes documented and verified information by specialists. How can such evidence be ignored?
Foo fighters
A popular rock band took the name of this particular frightening phenomenon, which was documented in November 1944. Small metal balls as if shining red - the very Foo Fighters - were photographed many times by bomber pilots. Especially often, mysterious objects were found in the Indian Ocean.
Case in the Cascade Mountains
The incident in the Cascade Mountains occurred on June 24, 1947. Private pilot Kenneth Arnold claimed to have seen a line of nine shiny, unidentified flying objects as they flew peacefully past Mount Rainier, Washington. The story could not be ignored by the nationwide news: since then, the description of Arnold has become a standard cliché for most of the country.

Green fireballs
Many ufologists consider the appearance of green fireballs over New Mexico to be the most reliable evidence of the existence of a UFO. Since the late 1940s, the US government has been forced to allocate additional funds for the air defense of research and military facilities such as Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratory - for some reason strange balls appeared there most often.
Gorman's fight
The fight between US Air Force pilot George Gorman and the alleged UFO occurred on October 1, 1948. Faced with a mysterious ball, the brave soldier attacked the enemy, but he preferred to flee. Gorman pursued the UFO for another half hour, then the object rapidly gained altitude and disappeared into the endless sky.
The Nick Marian incident
In August 1950, over Great Falls, hovered over a baseball field while playing. The general manager of the local baseball team, Nick Mariana, managed to capture the action on color film. A few days later, guys from the CIA knocked on the door of the newly-minted documentary filmmaker and politely asked him to turn in the film for storage. No one ever saw her again.
Lubbock lights
The unusual lights incident near the town of Lubbock received national publicity. A good hundred witnesses had photo and video recordings of the phenomenon, which excluded the possibility of falsification. The history of the Lubbock Lights has been thoroughly verified by the United States Air Force. A subsequent official statement said that the incident was identified as a very commonplace and easily explainable natural phenomenon. True, the government has not yet provided a more concrete answer to the question about the nature of this "banal phenomenon".
Flatwood Monster
Also known as the Braxton County Monster and the Flatwood Phantom. An incomprehensible but very terrible creature terrorized Flatwood for several days from September 12 to 17, 1952. Most of the witnesses described the "little animal" in the same way: height under two meters, completely black body and head shining in the darkness.
