Call it the CalgaryPuck version of Project Bluebook. I was reading through the science thread and there was some discussion about it and the sciency heads thought that this should be in a different thread. So here it is. Debate, post and solve the mysteries of UFO's or Big Foot, or Ogopogo, or mysterious ancient pyramid tunnels.
Maybe to start this off we need a list of the unexplained UFO sightings videos and pictures.
1) Kenneth Arnold 1947 - Kenneth Arnold was a civilian pilot flying near Mt Ranier Washington where he reported sighting a formation of 9 glowing objects flying at about 1700 miles an hour. He thought that this was a test of new military aircraft, but no aircraft were flying that day. He described their motions as being like a saucer shipping across water, this lead to the coining of the phrase flying saucer. The government claimed that he had seen a mirage or had a hallucination but there are other witness reports of these craft.
2) Lubbock Lights 1951 - Three scientists saw a semi circle of lights flying at high speed over Lubbock, Texas, Freshman Carl Hart managed to snap a picture of these lights. Project Bluebook investigated and claimed that they were reflections off of birds caused by new street lamps however witnesses claimed that the objects moved to fast to be birds.
3) The Belgium Wave 1989-90 - Citizens of Belgium claimed to see a large triangular object hovering in the sky, months later new sightings were reported. F-16's were dispatched and managed to achieve radar lock on though they couldn't see the object. During the Belgium wave there were 13,000 reports of mysterious objects in the sky. no logical explanation was given, and no investigation was really followed up on.
4) Phoenix Lights 1997 - On March 13th over a two hour period, thousands of witnesses claimed to see two distinct UFO sightings. one a triangular formation flying over the State and the other a line of lights hovering over the city. The US Air Force claimed responsibility for the line of lights as they were testing A-10 Wart Hogs and their flair dispensers.
5) Catalina Island 1966 - a 10 second shot of footage of a UFO in color
