Russia’s M Triangle is one of the most mysterious places on earth.
Also known as the Perm anomalous zone, this remote region near the Ural mountains generates
a steady stream of reports of the unexplained.
Each year, thousands of UFO hunters, hundreds of psychics and scores of scientists come
to the Urals to observe the strange phenomena.
The popularisation of the enigmatic zone began in the 1980s, when a local geologist discovered
a round, 206-foot print in the snow.
However, the region’s notoriety as a place of the paranormal extends further back in time.
The indigenous Mansi people once regarded the area as having a sacred energy.
Russian academics have also evidenced the area as once being an important place for
ritualised, sacrificial offerings.
Nowadays, the M Triangle has even more stories to tell, with reports of everything from sightings
of Yeti, to shining spheres in the sky, to bizarre claims of people developing super-human
powers.
There have even been reports of encounters with actual alien beings within the forested
areas of the zone.
One of the zone’s centres is called the astral meadow.
It is here that a large number of UFOs are allegedly sighted.
Glowing, fiery spheres are often witnessed by visitors who camp overnight in the area.
The frequency with which people claim to have witnessed UFOs in the M Triangle is enshrined
by this wooden statue of an alien, the first of its kind in the world.
It was erected at the entrance to the village of Molebka, one of the most popular hotspots
within the triangle.
Some have theorised that the former presence of uranium in the mineral-rich Ural mountains
may act as some sort of extraterrestrial magnet which draws UFOs to this mysterious triangle.
With a population of around 7,000, one would be forgiven for thinking that nothing much
happens in the small Scottish town of Bonnybridge.
However, this could not be further from the truth.
Each year, the Scottish government receives around 300 reports of UFO sightings from Bonnybridge
and its surrounding areas.
The local councillor, Billy Buchanan, says that many residents appeal to him, increasingly
concerned by the intensity of the unexplainable sightings.
Bonnybridge’s unusually high number of UFO sightings caught the public eye in 1992, when
businessman, James Walker, reported noticing some strange, sparkling lights in the sky
whilst driving home.
At first, he assumed that they were merely stars.
When the lights moved to form a triangle shape, he knew that they were anything but.
Often, the same mysterious objects are witnessed by multiple people at the same time.
In March 1992, the Sloggett family were out walking one evening when they saw a circle
of light ahead of them.
The light turned out to be an object, which the family saw land in a nearby field.
The mother of the family, Isabella, stated that: “A door opened and there was a howl-like
sound.”
Later, in 1994, a group of cleaners who were on their way to work all witnessed flashing
lights in the sky.
In 2004, a number of locals independently claimed to have seen a cigar-shaped
flying craft land on a golf course.
As reports of UFOs continue to stream in, there are many who believe that the town of
Bonnybridge has many curious secrets waiting to be discovered...
Amongst the states of America, California by far tops the charts of reported alien sightings.
Since their records began in 1974, the National UFO Reporting Center has documented around
12,000 accounts from the state alone.
Trailing behind in second and third place are Florida and Washington, with their figures
paling in comparison.
It is the Pacific Coast Highway, especially around Los Angeles, which seems to be a favourite
destination amongst alien visitors.
Eyewitnesses frequently report strange lights in the area.
Some of these incidents have been witnessed by hundreds of people at different locations.
Most famous amongst the UFO sightings is the Battle of Los Angeles.
Rumours of an incoming enemy attack reached Los Angeles late one February night in 1942.
Air raid sirens sounded, and a total blackout of the city was ordered.
What followed was series of frenzied anti-aircraft artillery barrages.
Searchlights lit up the sky as they frantically hunted for the attacking aircraft.
All in all, some 1,400 shells were fired that night.
The city was in chaos.
Anti-aircraft guns went into action against unidentified aircraft in the Los Angeles area
shortly after 3 am Pacific War Time this morning.
The unidentified object, which some sources thought might have been a blimp
required nearly 30 minutes to travel some 25 miles.
far slower than an airplane.
US army planes quickly took to the dark sky.
but whether they contacted the object has not been announced.
Army officials say they will not comment until they receive a full report of the action.
Shells frequently could be seen bursting near the object, but none appeared to hit.
In a later press conference, the military dismissed
the incident as a “false alarm”.
However, many have made accusations of a government cover-up.
There is speculation that the targets that flew above the skies of Los Angeles that night
were in fact extraterrestrial spacecraft.
One example of a recent sighting from the California area, taken from the NUFORC database,
describes how a female security guard encountered several mysterious white lights.
It was the early morning of the 26th September 2016, when the anonymous female noticed eight
objects flying overhead.
She describes them as having been “as bright as a star”.
They flew “side-by-side” and travelled in “different types of formations”.
They allegedly moved very fast before disappearing into the distance.
In France, UFOs are so commonplace that discussion of them does not belong to the fringes of
society.
Rather, there is a government bureau which is dedicated to their documentation and scientific
investigation.
Based in Toulouse, the UFO taskforce, GEIPAN, is an offshoot of the French Space Agency.
Consisting of four full-time members of staff and around a dozen volunteers, the group publishes
its reports on its website.
By operating under a code of full public disclosure, the work of GEIPAN is arguably the most comprehensive
and transparent of any UFO institution.
On average, two cases of unidentified aerospace phenomena are reported to the department each
day.
Although nearly all of the submitted reports can be explained as terrestrial in origin,
there are around 400 cases, which date from the 1970s to the present day, that the French
team cannot explain.
Overwhelmingly, it is southeastern France which offers some of the most compelling cases
of UFO sightings.
In particular, it is the Trans-en-Provence case of 1981 which is taken very seriously.
It was around 5pm on the 8th of January when a 55-year-old farmer heard a strange whistling
noise whilst outside.
It was then that the man witnessed a mysterious saucer-shaped object land in the field around
50 yards away from him.
He described the object as follows: "The device had the shape of two saucers, one inverted
on top of the other.
It must have measured about 1.5 meters in height.
It was the color of lead.
This device had a ridge all the way around its circumference.
Under the machine I saw two kinds of pieces as it was lifting off.
They could be reactors or feet.
There were also two other circles which looked like trapdoors.
The two reactors, or feet, extended about 20 cm below the body of the machine."
Almost as soon as it had landed, the machine took off, leaving burn marks on the ground
where it had sat.
The local police were informed of the incident.
Within 24 hours, photographs were taken, as well as soil and plant samples.
The case was then sent to GEIPAN for review.
The task force revealed that the object had left a substantial physical trace on the land.
The ground, they reported, had been compressed by a mechanical pressure of about 4 or 5 tons,
and had been heated to anywhere between 300 to 600 degrees celsius.
Furthermore, a nearby crop of alfalfa showed lower than expected levels of chlorophyll,
by some 30 to 50 per cent.
To this day, the Trans-en-Provence case is regarded as one of the most completely and
carefully documented UFO encounters of all time.
The English county of Wiltshire is known for its rich history and verdant landscapes.
Somewhat lesser known is its arguable claim to be the epicentre of England’s UFO phenomenon.
In particular it is the peaceful market town of Warminster that has attracted the attention
of UFO enthusiasts over the years.
The saga began on the morning of Christmas day, 1964, when an anonymous housewife heard
a loud, unidentifiable noise crackle across the sky.
She reported her experience to the local newspaper, the Warminster Journal.
Within weeks, the floodgates opened and reports piled up.
Local people dubbed the phenomenon “the thing”, unable to explain the cause of the
frightening noises that terrorised Warminster.
By June 1965, mysterious objects were being sighted in the skies.
Since then, there have been thousands of independent claims of UFO sightings from this small town.
The most iconic image linked to the Warminster mystery is the photograph taken by Gordon
Faulkner in 1965.
However, the most fascinating part of the Warminster UFO story is the town’s close
proximity to the enigmatic prehistoric monument, Stonehenge.
Since the disbanding of the UK’s Ministry of Defence’s UFO hotline in 2009, thousands
of pages of information have been disclosed to the public.
Amongst them are reports of UFOs being reported near historic landmarks, including many from
Stonehenge.
One example is a photograph submitted in January 2009.
The image appears to show a small speck of light hovering over the standing stones.
According to the archived email, the witness did not notice anything peculiar in the sky
at the time of taking the picture.
On top of this, it is reckoned that eighty-five to ninety percent of all reported crop circles
appear in England, in a concentrated area around the standing stones of Stonehenge.
Crop circles are reported to appear suddenly overnight, often materialising in conjunction
with sightings of balls of light.
Many theorise that they are extraterrestrial, and that the ancient monument of Stonehenge
holds a special significance to visiting aliens.
