UFOs and Intelligence: A Timeline

May 20, 2024
Aggregation by George M. Eberhart

After an effort of many years, I have prepared a comprehensive timeline of UFO history that will be useful to UFO researchers and historians. “UFOs and Intelligence” is an up-to-date retrospective of UFO history (from the airship of Clonmacnoise to the newly appointed US investigation agency AARO), intertwined with events in US and world history concerning military and civilian intelligence agencies and the cult of secrecy. It is now more than 1,000 pages and more than 910,000 words (including a substantial “Sources and Further Reading” appendix). Readers will discover or rediscover many events, people, and UFO cases they may not be familiar with. Some will find it useful for current or planned research projects.

Military cases, those involving commercial aircraft, close encounters involving physical traces and other evidence, reports involving occupants or entities, and events surrounding military and sensitive nuclear sites are emphasized, but this timeline covers the full spectrum of UFO history, from contactee experiences to misidentifications of mundane phenomena and notorious hoaxes. Links to online sources are given, and links to biographical information are provided when available.

A timeline like this allows us to view events from a different perspective, letting us make connections we might not otherwise see. It forces us to view the big picture, amid the grand flow of UFO cases, military security decisions, a vast swathe of personalities, and world history.

As of 2022, all references have proper bibliographical citations with embedded links; if you have a version with raw URL links, it is an earlier version. When clicking on links, be sure to open them in a new tab or a new window. A special note of thanks to Jeff Knox, a UFO researcher in Oregon who has been helping me improve this document with corrections, additions, and amplifications. Note: This timeline is updated at least once a week. —George M. Eberhart

Quote:Possible USO? Mysterious light spotted offshore. Workers on an oil platform filmed the strange light emanating from the seabed. They were intrigued by the sight. What could it be?

This Saturday (25), workers on an oil platform in the Campos Basin, located between Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo, Brazil, witnessed a curious phenomenon: a mysterious light emanating from the seabed. The video capturing this unusual glow quickly went viral on social media, sparking a wave of speculation and theories.
A relatively similar case occurred in mid-April.
A research team studying oceanic bioluminescence encountered an unusual phenomenon that surprised them.
The team was studying bioluminescence in the Gulf of Mexico when a member spotted a strange light about 400 meters from their location.
(Some people are saying it's the sunlight hitting the water, but this is not the case, because, in filming, the man films the sunset completely opposite to where the focus of light is):

Quote:This culture is skeptical of tales of unidentified flying objects, yet quite fascinated by them. “The believability of the claims is less important than what we (as a society) make of them,” says Allen Ross, a local filmmaker whose latest video documentary, co-directed with Sharon Sandusky, takes a candid look at a cast of such “storytellers” and UFOlogists.

A self-styled ethnographer, Ross has built a cult reputation with experimental works that demystify the seemingly strange. His latest effort is no exception.

“I got interested in the UFO phenomenon,” he explains, “because the experiences are basically unfilmmable, so we have to rely on and interpret the contactees’ recollections the way anthropologists learn about an unfamiliar culture’s customs through native informants.”

A few years ago Ross got together with Sandusky, a fellow graduate of the School of the Art Institute, and decided to document the personal accounts of selected “experiencers” and “data collectors.”

Sandusky ferreted out the most credible witnesses and researchers. Then in 1991, the pair, with video gear in hand, located the ones they wanted to interview at two UFO conferences, in Laramie, Wyo., and the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Rosemont.

The result is “Ordinary Conversations About Extraordinary Matters,” an artful compilation of stream-of-consciousness monologues that shed light on the community of UFO believers and researchers. The feature-length video will be screened at the Art Institute’s Film Center at 8 p.m. Thursday and at 6 and 8:15 p.m. June 12 (phone 312-443-3733). Ross and Sandusky will be on hand for questions after each show.

“According to a recent Roper poll, at least 3.75 million people in this country believe that they’ve experienced abductions,” Sandusky points out. “And many more claim to have seen UFOs. Statistics show that these `percipients’ (those who claim encounters with UFOs) cut across all socioeconomic strata, with as many men as women.”

Yet, Ross adds, few are willing to talk in front of a camera. “We had a great deal of trouble convincing men to talk on the record, so we ended up with mostly women interviewees,” he says. “Men seem to be afraid of ridicule and losing their jobs. Interestingly, the researchers we interviewed-Budd Hopkins, David Jacobs and John Carpenter-are all men. They are scientific types, but they’ve gone out on a limb, in terms of their academic credentials, investigating phenomena sensationalized and cheapened by the mainstream media.”

The documentary’s narrative unfolds slowly as Skye Ambrose, a young woman who claims to have been abducted by aliens as a child, goes through a hynoptic regression. “There is a belief that most abductees suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, like rape victims and war survivors,” Sandusky says. “They are ordinary, credible people who happen to be troubled by a singular event in their lives. Hypnosis helps them to overcome the pathology.”

Ambrose’s remembrance of being shepherded into a metallic “spaceship” by amorphous-looking beings who communicate through telepathy is echoed by other interviewees. “These are victims of the missing-time syndrome,” Ross says. “Should we trust their stories more because they were told under hypnosis? Also remarkable are cases of double amnesia. Two or more people, usually father and son, who think they might have been abducted together, can recall similar events, corroborate each other, during hypnotic regression.”

A Wyoming couple, C.J. and Ione Allison, claim to have stayed in touch with their alien friends for a long time. “The Allisons are contactees, not abductees; they and their family have had pleasant experiences,” Sandusky says.

Ross and Sandusky, whose next collaboration will be on exorcism, agree with researchers that UFO accounts are open to religious interpretations. “The experience forces contactees to look inward, to grasp for spiritual significance,” Ross says. “Despite their strangeness and curiosity, the aliens ultimately have a benign message. They warn us not to pollute the planet, they want to help us evolve. I realize that most skeptics-especially hard-core science types-demand solid evidence, like a piece of a saucer, or a dead alien.

“But who am I to judge? Life is full of strange improbabilities.”

Quote:Dr. Steven Greer explains to Shawn Ryan the wealth of ground-breaking science and discoveries made by black-budget companies. First, he outlines new realizations around zero-point energy and how this supposed newfound technology is as old as time. Greer also covers how this technology has been hidden from the public for decades by the military industrial complex and corporate interests. Why? Because it could change the balance of power globally. This episode uncovers who these corporate entities are and their possible secret discoveries.

Always one of my favorite
0:07
offbeat subjects talking about
0:08
what's out there. Intelligent
0:10
and highly advanced life. Might
0:13
be secretly living here on Earth
0:16
with the rest of us. According
0:17
to top researchers from Montana
0:19
Tech and also from Harvard, a
0:20
new paper published by these
0:22
researchers hypothesizes UFO
0:23
sightings might reflect
0:26
activities of intelligent beings
0:27
concealed in stealth here on
0:30
Earth, or, for example,
0:31
underground. They say even
0:33
potentially or walking among us,
0:34
meaning passing us as humans.
0:36
Interesting Now we hear about
0:40
this as we receive new
0:42
information about a seven minute
0:43
encounter between a glowing blue
0:45
barbell shaped UFO half the
0:49
length of a football field in
0:50
size that came from three
0:53
witnesses, including a pentagon
0:55
engineering contractor. This
0:56
happened in southwestern Ontario
0:59
in August 2013. About 11 years
1:02
ago, one of the witnesses
1:03
describing an indigo plasma that
1:05
covered most of this craft,
1:07
claiming the craft rotated
1:09
slowly for about 6 or 7 minutes
1:12
while emitting an electrical
1:13
spark like shower. The one
1:15
witness attempted to film the
1:16
craft with his camera phone,
1:18
only to get static when he did,
1:22
despite the camera working
1:23
before and after the encounter.
1:25
So that's the claims here. Now
1:27
on screen, you're seeing a
1:29
rendition in the sketch of what
1:30
they saw that day, the shape of
1:32
what they saw. I mean, they said
1:34
6 or 7 minutes, it's out there.
1:35
The craft eventually shot off
1:36
at, they say, an incredible
1:37
speed. Robert Powell is a UFO
1:38
investigator who traveled to
1:40
meet with the Pentagon.
1:41
Contractor, spoke to him
1:42
firsthand about exactly what he
1:44
saw, and he joins us now.
1:46
Robert, thank you so much for
1:47
coming on. What exactly did you
1:48
learn when you spoke to this man
1:49
and what's what's new on this
1:51
story? Well, the main reason I
1:54
flew up to meet with the guy is
1:56
I wanted to verify that he was
1:58
who he said he was. Yeah, I
2:00
thought it was a very
2:01
interesting story. Not only did
2:02
you have three witnesses, but
2:04
the primary witness was an
2:05
engineer who had contract with
2:08
the Pentagon, and what's really
2:12
interesting is you have an
2:13
object that's not aerodynamic.
2:15
Dick. Right. So if you wanted to
2:17
make up a story about a UFO, why
2:19
would you say it looked like a
2:21
barbell? Right? Right. You know
2:23
who's going to believe that?
2:25
Yeah. I mean, and it's they say
2:29
they tried to film it and the
2:31
camera just failed that they had
2:33
that, you know, I mean, that's
2:35
that's interesting that there
2:36
would be some kind of
2:38
technology. It's like a blocker
2:39
I guess. Well, actually the
2:40
scientists I agree with him is,
2:43
he feels that it was just a
2:44
byproduct of that blue indigo
2:47
field around the object. It was
2:50
not necessarily intentional.
2:51
Yeah the other thing, he
2:53
initially turned on his cell
2:55
phone to try to take a photo and
2:59
his his cell phone went into a
3:00
boot up mode. So he couldn't use
3:03
his cell phone. And so then he
3:05
took his Sony camera. When he
3:07
first used it, he turned it on
3:09
and it immediately turned off.
3:11
And what he did next is he began
3:14
to observe the object through
3:16
the telescopic view of his
3:19
hunting rifle he happened to
3:20
have with him, and then later
3:23
on, the object moved farther
3:24
away, and once it moved farther
3:26
away, he turned his Sony video
3:28
camera back on. Wow. And he
3:30
could see it through the camera.
3:32
Then the camera stayed on, but
3:33
the video was scrambled, but you
3:35
could hear the audio. It's so
3:38
it's so crazy to hear these
3:40
stories. And there's so many of
3:42
these stories. And again, they
3:43
come from these credible people.
3:44
I still remember, you know,
3:46
hearing on 60 minutes from from
3:47
these, you know, they're like,
3:49
you know, naval pilots that have
3:49
seen things that they just can't
3:52
explain. And the way it moved,
3:54
there's no way a trajectory
3:55
could change like that at that
3:56
speed. It's amazing to hear
3:57
you've got Harvard and Montana
3:59
tech scientists hypothesizing
3:59
that aliens might be living
4:02
among us on this planet. We also
4:04
have have a new report out that
4:06
that NASA has been looking
4:07
tentatively in our own backyard
4:08
in the solar system for signs
4:10
that Earth is not the only place
4:11
of life near us. Let's start
4:14
with, you know, the potential
4:16
that they could be among us,
4:19
that maybe there's a dimension
4:20
that we can't see or experience
4:22
in some way, and that we're
4:23
surrounded by life, that we just
4:24
can't see, touch or feel. Yeah,
4:26
I've seen no evidence that
4:28
there's aliens among us. In
4:29
other words, on our planet, I've
4:32
seen plenty of evidence that
4:35
there's indication that
4:36
extraterrestrial craft have
4:38
moved through our atmosphere.
4:39
And that's based on the speed,
4:42
the movement, the acceleration,
4:43
but I don't I don't know that I
4:46
can, you know. Yeah Go with the
4:49
aliens among us part. Yeah.
4:50
That's that's a that's a that's
4:53
a tough one for me to believe
4:54
too. But when I look out at all
4:56
those stars, it is hard for me
4:58
to think that there's not,
4:59
something out there looking ba
