“I was about 1 km from my home and had reached the edge of a small weed. I saw a car, a Citroen, coming towards me. When the car was about 20m from me, the noise suddenly stopped, and the car rolled noiselessly several metres and then stopped at the roadside. I was several metres from the car when I saw two persons get out, a man, the driver, and a woman. The woman said something, pointing with her finger towards the sky. I looked in the indicated direction and then saw that behind my back an object of a golden colour appeared. I stopped my bike at once. I had my camera around my neck. It was ready and not in the case. I took a picture of the UFO as it made a slight turn. I reset my camera once more and took one more photo, but the UFO had now moved rather far away, its speed having increased noticeably. I was sure the 2nd picture would not come out, as the speed of the UFO by then was rather high. Then it disappeared completely. It looked to me as if the UFO just shrank.”

The Contentious story of a crashed 'saucer' near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 became widely known in 1978, when physicist and ufologist Stanton Friedman interviewed Major Jesse Marcel, the intelligence officer involved in the initial recovery of the debris. According to Marcel and other witnesses, a flying object crashed on a ranch near Roswell in July 1947. The U.S. military initially reported that they had recovered a "flying disc," but quickly retracted the statement and claimed that the object was merely a weather balloon. However, witnesses reported seeing strange metallic debris, unconventional symbols, and unusual bodies, which led many to believe that the crashed object was of extraterrestrial origin.
The Phoenix Lights incident, of March 13, 1997, Phoenix, Arizona, was witnessed by thousands over a period of several hours. The first sighting occurred in the early evening, a triangular formation of lights in the sky. The lights were described as being in a V-shaped pattern and moving slowly and silently. Later that evening, between 8:00 and 10:00 PM, thousands of people in Phoenix and the surrounding areas reported seeing a similar formation of lights. The lights were described as being in a straight line, hovering in the sky, and then moving in a slow, deliberate manner. Some witnesses reported that the lights appeared to be attached to a large, triangular object, while others described them as being separate, individual entities.

Bob Lazar is a controversial figure who claims to have worked as a scientist at Area 51, a top-secret military base in Nevada. According to Lazar, he was hired to reverse-engineer alien spacecraft that the government had in their possession. One of the spacecraft he worked on was a "sport model" UFO, which he described as being small, sleek, and capable of impressive manoeuvres. Lazar claimed that the UFO was powered by an element called "115," which is not found on Earth and allowed the craft to warp the fabric of space-time.

In October 1972, a couple was driving along a desolate road between Smithtown and Coram on Long Island, New York. Around 7:30 PM, they noticed a bright white light resembling an airplane's landing light. The light didn't appear to move, but then the wife saw it approaching. They observed red and green lights attached to the object, and the larger white light pulsed like a heartbeat. As they drove over a hill, the object disappeared, only to reappear above the treetops. The wife got out of the car for a better view and saw an elongated, dark triangular craft with lights along its bottom surface. The husband stayed in the car due to the narrow shoulder. Both eyewitnesses agreed that what they observed looked like an elongated ellipse with a single row of lights (five or six) running along the bottom surface on both sides. Watching the UFO from a nearby embankment, the wife observed several features on the craft that the husband could not from his perspective in the car. The craft was dark in colour, and was triangular in shape with a rounded front end, and squared off back. As the object passed overhead, she observed two vertical “antennas” or poles sticking up from the top surface of the craft near its aft end. These poles tapered in diameter as they rose vertically. Stretching between the two poles, she could see a thin “wire”. These features gave the craft a very “homemade” appearance as though someone had “made it in their garage”. After a few
minutes, the craft slowly departed that area.
