The most famous UFO sightings in the world​

Does extraterrestrial life exist? It's a mystery that intrigues us all. Despite huge advances in technological know-how, we are still no closer to proving that we are not alone, and there's no concrete evidence to suggest otherwise. But around the world, UFO sightings are reported with alarming regularity. So, should we believe in events like the notorious Roswell case, or dismiss outright the notion that we are being visited by beings from another planet? Here is a list of the best-known cases of UFO sightings of recent times. Take a look and decide, is there something really out there?

The Greifswald lights, German Democratic Republic.​

Thousands witnessed an organized formation of seven lights that hovered for 30 minutes in the night sky over the Greifswald nuclear power plant near Peenemünde, in 1990. Several witnesses, including a Russian nuclear physicist working at the station, managed to film the incident.

The Greifswald lights, German Democratic Republic​

The incident drew a skeptical response from many, though the fact the lights appeared to hang in the sky for half an hour could not be explained. One of the reasons given was that the lights were flares fired into the sky by the Russian or Polish navy. The reunification of Germany was due to take place six weeks later and some thought this was in some way a diplomatic protest to prevent or delay the union from taking place.

The noise the ship made was compared with that of a helicopter, or the engine of a Volkswagen beetle. Four other people witnessed the 1994 sighting, which was never properly explained.

The Captain William Schaffner incident, North Sea​

On September 9, 1970 Royal Air Force pilot William Schaffner was flying over the North Sea when he spotted a strange object ahead of his plane, hovering over the water in the North Sea. He decided to investigate, but a few minutes later radio communication with Captain Schaffner's aircraft was lost.

Schaffner's plane was later found ditched in the sea. Oddly, the canopy was closed and there was no trace of the pilot. This remains one of the most intriguing of cases involving a so-called UFO, and as The Telegraph reported at the time, there seems no answer as to what might have happened other than the RAF captain was practicing night time low altitude target training when his aircraft inexplicably crashed.

Incident of the Berwyn range, Wales​

Despite the scare the incident provoked, it was subsequently dismissed as a UFO sighting after the British Ministry of Defense confirmed that a falling meteor created the light, and after hitting the ground produced the subsequent tremor, which measured 3.5 on the Richter scale—the noise heard by the villagers.

The Belgian wave of UFOs​

Despite the huge volume of sightings reported by the public at the time, no photographs or video footage was ever officially released to confirm the event. A photograph that emerged in 1990 and released to the press was later proved to be an altered image.
