Welcome to a fascinating look at some of the most intriguing UFO videos ever recorded. As we dive into these top ten picks, we'll uncover the history and significance of each sighting. These are not random selections; each video has undergone thorough examination and has not been debunked and deserves a place in the top ten in my in my opinion.
So, let’s jump in at number 10!
(10) The Jerusalem UFO - January 28th, 2011
On a cold January night, multiple reports surfaced of a bright, glowing object hovering over the Dome of the Rock, a significant religious site in the Old City of Jerusalem. Eyewitnesses described seeing an orb, which was captured from multiple angles, showcasing the object stopping and then shooting off at incredible speed. While the exact sources of the footage remain unknown, and some speculate it might be a hoax, the multiple perspectives and the object's behaviour make this a significant case in UFOlogy. Its historic position in UFOlogy and the lack of a suitable debunk keeps it firmly in our top ten.
(9) Jorge A. Arteaga’s UFO - November 4th, 2015
Pilot Jorge A. Arteaga recorded this footage while flying over Antioquia, Colombia. At 12,500 feet, Arteaga's Cessna encountered a strange object that moved erratically. Captured on his iPhone, the footage shows an oval-shaped, shiny object that changed speed and direction unpredictably. Arteaga's detailed description and the clear video quality suggest it wasn't a balloon, drone, or airplane. This video stands out for its credibility and the pilot’s firsthand account.
(8) NASA Tether Incident - March 1st, 1996
During the STS-75 mission of the space shuttle Columbia, a 12-mile-long electrically conductive tether broke and drifted away. NASA attributed the visible objects to ice particles and space debris. However, some of these objects appeared to change direction, sparking debates about their true nature. The confusion heard in the NASA audio adds to the mystery, making it a compelling inclusion in our list.
(7) The Colima Volcano UFO - March 12th, 2018
Captured on the VolcanoCam over Colima Volcano, this footage shows a mysterious object hovering and then moving rapidly over the volcano. Credit goes to Webcams De Mexico for this intriguing video, which has sparked numerous discussions about its origin and nature.
(6) The Denbigh Lights - January 3rd, 2012
A family of four filmed a giant saucer-shaped object at 3 AM, prompting a police investigation. The two boys, Alex and Nathan Thomas, provided credible and honest accounts of the sighting. The footage shows a disc-shaped object tilted on its side, with lights that enhance its saucer-like appearance. The family's sincere testimony adds weight to this case.
(5) Nellis AFB UFO - 1995
Featured in a segment on Hard Copy, this footage from Nellis Air Force Base shows a disc-shaped object moving erratically and changing direction rapidly. While some suggest it might be secret military technology, no such technology has been publicly revealed in the past 30 years. This sighting remains a significant case in UFO history.
(4) NPAS UFO - September 16th, 2016
The National Police Air Service recorded this 8-minute video over the Bristol Channel, United Kingdom. Initially tweeted with a playful alien emoji, the full 8 minute footage, released under the Freedom of Information Act, shows an unidentified object in the night sky. The police clarified that the video was recorded an hour later than the timestamp indicated, ensuring it was pitch black at the time and wasn’t picked up by the Air Traffic Control.
(3) Aguadilla UFO - April 25th, 2013
This thermal imaging video was recorded by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection aircraft near Rafael Hernandez Airport in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. The footage shows an object splitting into two and dipping into the water, appearing to maintain speed, a manoeuvre no known aircraft can perform. This video is widely regarded as one of the most compelling UFO recordings.
(2) Gimble UFO - January 21st, 2015
Initially leaked and later declassified by the Pentagon in 2017, this footage was captured by Navy pilots. The object, lacking discernible wings or tail, rotates in mid-air against strong winds with no visible means of propulsion. The infrared signatures indicate heat emission, but the thermal characteristics differ from known aircraft. This official acknowledgment by the Pentagon adds significant weight to its authenticity.
(1) Kumburgaz UFO - 2007-2009
Filmed by Yalcin Yalman, this footage from a beach in Kumburgaz, Turkey, has never been properly debunked. Professor Zeki EKER of the Turkish National Observatory analysed the footage, confirming it was genuine and not a model or special effect. The footage, showing the object against the moonlight, is extensive and continues to be a subject of intense study. We tracked him down almost 18 years later and interviewed him on the UPA Files Podcast with his interpreter. His story was fantastic and confirmed a lot of unknown details about this significant case from history. Yalman’s predictions about future sightings add an extra layer of intrigue.
