World UFO Day facts

The Roswell, New Mexico incident of 1947 has been the origin story for many sightings and reporting’s of UFOs. Controversy and skepticism have followed ever since regarding classified information believed to be withheld by the US. In 2020 however, the US Pentagon released footage from when US navy pilots encountered what appeared to be UFOs. The pilots described the hovering object saying, it accelerated like nothing I’ve ever seen.
The acronym UFO was created in 1953 by the United States Air Force so that they could record and review instances involving unknown flying objects. A new term, UAP, unidentified aerial phenomena, was launched in 2020 to do away with the stigma surrounding UFOs.
According to worldufoday, some of the 20th-century UFO accounts include:
1) During the 1940s, metallic spears and colorful balls of light were seen by bomber crews.
2) In 1947, many cases of unidentified flying objects were being reported after a crash in Roswell, New Mexico.
3) In 1997, thousands of people saw V-shaped patterns in the sky around the Nevada border.
