In 2020, the Pentagon released three grainy videos taken by Navy pilots who witnessed speeding objects mysteriously disappear. After a thorough review, the DoD found the videos did not reveal any sensitive capabilities or systems, and did not ”impinge on any subsequent investigations of military airspace incursions by unidentified aerial phenomena.” The videos show what pilots saw during training flights in 2004 and 2015. They remain unexplained.

Here are 10 other bizarre UFO sightings that still give witnesses the shivers.

1. ‘We’re not crazy’ pilots tell Yellowknife air traffic controllers in 2023

Canadian air traffic controllers and pilots couldn’t identify two white lights moving in a circular pattern reported over Canada’s Northwest Territories in 2023.

“Good evening, just wondering, do you got two planes that are just to the east of your field doing circuits or maneuvers?” a crew member aboard a Canadian North flight headed to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, asked air traffic controllers. It was just before midnight on January 29, 2023. “Negative, I have no reported traffic in the area,” the Yellowknife air traffic controller replied. “Do you have a visual on something?” The crew of the twin turboprop Canadian North aircraft responded somewhat hesitantly, “Yeah, we’re looking at two lights dancing around here, to the east of your field… They’re above us, about, I don’t know what. We’re not seeing them on TCAS (traffic collision avoidance system). But we can see the lights moving around.”

There’s a pause before the crew member radios back to say, “We’re not crazy.”

“No, we believe you,” the air traffic controller replies. The sighting remains unexplained.
