Throughout the twentieth century eye-witness reports of UFO sightings in the Dragon’s Triangle began to increase. UFO Files s3e11: The Pacific Bermuda Triangle
18th August 1980 ... The Russian research vessel Vladimir Volbirov was moving slowly south through the Dragon’s Triangle around Japan heading towards Okinawa. Just after midnight suddenly and without warning a cylindrical metallic UFO-like object was seen to rise slowly from the sea. It hovered then darted off into the sky. ibid.
Eight months later on 17th April 1981 another significant incident occurred in almost the same location ... It was a clear day and the sea was calm. The 165-foot Japanese freighter Taki Kyoto Maru was sailing two hundred miles off Kanisawa with over thirty crew members. Suddenly the crew was rocked by shockwaves rolling though their ship ... A bright saucer-shaped object rose out of the water. ibid.
The Kaiyou-Maru ... on two known occasions in 1984 and 1986 the research ship was allegedly tracked by a UFO. These chilling events were witnessed by at least nine research scientists aboard the ship. ibid.

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio: Are there declassified documents that prove UFO wreckage was secretly flown to the base? UFO Files s3e12: Hangar 18: UFO Warehouse, History 6th November 2006
For more than half a century similar stories have surfaced about UFO wreckage, alien bodies, secret underground cryogenic chambers, and a mysterious hangar at the base. ibid.
There are many other cases tied to Wright Field: October 1947, Paradise Valley, Arizona; May 1953, Kingman, Arizona; June 1953, Laredo, Texas; and December 5th 1965, Kecksburg, Pennsylvania – are only a few of the alleged flying saucer recoveries in the US alone. No matter where a UFO lands, it seems all roads lead back to Wright-Patterson and Hangar 18. ibid.
But according to many UFO researchers at the same time that the press is distracted with supposedly fake debris, the actual Roswell wreckage and possibly other retrieved items are taken under military control. They are surreptitiously flown almost 1,500 miles away to a military base in Dayton, Ohio, named Wright Field. According to UFO legend its precise destination is a hangar on the base: Hangar 18. ibid.

In 1979 a mysterious object not only leaves physical evidence, it nearly kills a Minnesota deputy sheriff … [Deputy] Val Johnson was found to have what they call welder’s burns to his eyes … The watch on his wrist and the car clock stopped for 14 minutes. ibid.

Remember Operation Northwoods, OK. Or we can go to September 11th. Governments do huge big things to persuade populations at key notable points in history. Manufactured history is what it is ... I believe we’re building to a mass carefully manufactured staked event, where ETs who are really humans ... who are probably Nazis ... are going to basically stake out the world.

UFO type #3: The Space Serpents/Snake: often change shape, often change colour, often appear/disappear. Conspiratus
Round the world we are encountering a strange phenomenon. They are known as mystery lights. They appear without warning or explanation sometimes moving at frightening speeds. Ghost Lights Mystery
Dr Friedemann Freund of NASA studies mystery lights like the one seen just before the 1995 devastating earthquake in Kobi, Japan. Specifically it was this photograph that caught his attention. Dr Freund quickly learns that it isn’t the only instance of strange lights cited in conjunction with earthquakes. They’ve also occurred half way round the world in Peru ... And this photograph taken in the middle of the night in Matsushiro, Japan, in 1966. ibid.
Thousands of kilometres away in a remote valley – Hessdalen in Norway – scientists also believe the lights could come from some unknown energy source. But these lights travel at amazing speed. And have even touched the ground. Of all the mystery light sightings around the world, some of the most spectacular occur in a remote valley in central Norway. ibid.
But recently declassified documents – Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon in the UK Air Defence Region: Executive Summary: Scientific & Technical Memorandum No. 55/2/00 – may hold the answers ... ‘The phenomena occur on a daily, world-wide basis’. ibid.
For perhaps hundreds of years based upon Native American legends people have seen these strange multi-coloured spheres of light moving on and around this ridge and in these mountains. Joshua Warren, author & paranormal investigator
During the Second World War there was a phenomenon that was very very similar to the ghost lights – it became known as the Foo Fighters ... They seem to exhibit some sort of intelligence. Nick Redfern, author & investigator
And the Air Force wanted to catch one. As sightings increased so did the mood of alarm. The public feared an invasion of little green men from the red planet Mars. But the military feared a red invasion of a different kind. Conspiracies – Extraterrestrials
