A remarkable piece of footage from a Boeing 747 pilot shows multiple mysterious UFOs that appeared outside the aircraft and left the flight crew astonished. The intriguing incident was filmed by Captain Ruud Van Pangemanan as he was flying from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia to Abuja, Nigeria a few weeks ago. The footage was subsequently posted on his popular YouTube channel documenting his life as an airline pilot. In the video, he notes that the sighting began approximately thirty minutes into the flight when he and his crew noticed that "we have company." What unfolded next caused the group to respond with amazement as they attempted to make sense of what they were seeing.
Initially, Van Pangemanan and his co-pilot observed a sizeable glowing orb off in the distance. The peculiar ball of light was odd enough that the seasoned captain exclaimed "wow" at its weirdness as he marveled that "it's very bright now." Although the object vanished from sight a few seconds later, it returned to the sky shortly thereafter and continued to puzzle the pilots watching it. Their confusion was compounded when the orb was suddenly joined by a second similar object, which elicited cries from the flight crew in a manner one might expect from people at a fireworks show.
"Guys, this is not a joke," Van Pangemanan assured his audience when later detailing his experience in the video. "What is it in the sky and dancing," he wondered, conceding that what the crew saw "is still a mystery." To that end, Van Pangemanan explained that they initially thought the bright object could have been another terrestrial aircraft, "but it wasn't on our radar," which also precluded the possibility that the anomalies were drones. The pilot indicated that they also eliminated stars or satellites as possible explanations due to how the orbs moved. Ultimately, Van Pangemanan mused that the anomalies were simply UFOs.
Secret UFO ‘crash’ 6 years after Roswell still of concern to US intelligence officials, leaked texts reveal: ‘Slack-jawed’
By Alex Mitchell
Everyone knows about Roswell... but an even bigger event took place near Kingman, Arizona.
In the partially redacted communication, shared on social media, a top-ranking intelligence official notes that the public would be “slack-jawed” to know the entire truth.
The information reveal appears to validate a longstanding urban legend in the city of Kingman, Arizona, a Route 66 pitstop one state to the west, where locals have spent nearly three-quarters of a century retelling the story of a 1953 crash.
Multiple onlookers reportedly saw at least one UFO go down on May 21, just outside the small Mojave Desert city, located 100 miles from Las Vegas.
“It’s very rare to have multiple witnesses, multiple sources of information, confirming an incident like this,” Preston Dennett, author of “UFOs Over Arizona: A True History of Extraterrestrial Encounters in the Grand Canyon State,” recently told local channel 12News.
In a previous interview with AZ Central, Dennett called the occurrence “one of the best-verified UFO crashes in the United States.”
A local institution, the Mohave Museum of History and Arts even boasts an exhibit on the crash, which locals — and more recently podcasters — have been trying to get to the bottom of for years.
Harry Drew is one of those locals — the area historian created a documentary on the extraterrestrial mystery a number of years back.
Drew told 8NewsNow that witnesses described seeing eight UFOs — also called unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) modernly — in the night sky, engaged in what appeared to be a kind of battle. Ultimately, he said, three crafts went down.
The crash occurred around the same time as a nearby Nevada nuclear test series codenamed Operation Upshot-Knothole, declassified military documents show.
Consistent with other global sightings of UFOs near spiked points of radiation, an atomic bomb was detonated two days ahead of the incident, according to the report.
During the night in question, one craft was burned up when it collided with a mountain, another was found intact in the desert with no damage, and a third crash-landed near a small reservoir, which the military and a team of scientists camped around to recover, Drew claimed.
Although much of the researcher’s theory has been debated in the UFO world — he also believes experimental radar brought the crafts down — Dennett corroborates a military response of 40 officials to one of the sites.
“The object was described as metallic, 30 feet wide and three and a half feet high, oval-shaped with portholes,” Dennett said in 2016. “Inside were two to four, four-foot tall humanoids, deceased according to most sources, with large eyes and wearing metallic suits.”
The pilot appeared to have died in the crash.
In the many years to follow, Dennett has traced the incident through old reports and government documents. He uncovered a frequent code name used for one scientist: Fritz Werner.
“We now know him to be Arthur Stansel,” Dennett said recently.
“It was [Stansel’s] job to basically determine the speed of this object as it came down, based upon the gouge it made in the soil, and he estimated it was about 1200 miles per hour.”
The project was top secret — scientists arrived on a blacked-out bus so they wouldn’t know where they were. An Air Force Colonel impressed the importance of staying quiet on the group.
However, 20 years later Stansel signed an affidavit confirming his presence at the mystery site. Dennett claims the government took the craft into secret custody, according to information of a claim revealed 50 years after the fact.
“These craft are scooped up, taken to various Air Force bases, scientific labs, and studied intensely, intently to figure out exactly what we can figure out about how they work,” he said.
And, while this may all seem like an excellent plot for a sci-fi thriller, the eye-raising reports appeared to be further legitimized after a former intelligence officer recently went public with a text conversation he had with an unidentified “senior” government official in 2020.
The conversation between Christopher Mellon, Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense and the anonymous source said people would be “slack-jawed” to learn what the government actually knows of the incident.
The government also knows “who recovers crashed UAPs [unidentified anomalous phenomenal] under what authorities.”
A curious bell-shaped UFO was spotted moving in the daytime skies in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg on Thursday, August 1st. The witness, 'Jabusi,' noted that while it's not unusual to see hot air balloons in the area, this object did not seem to have that kind of shape. The Hidden Underbelly, who has shared the above footage, points out the shape is reminiscent of the rumored Nazi bell UFO from the WWII era.
A rare form of lightning called "gigantic jets" was observed about 100 miles southeast of Puerto Rico on August 4, shooting upward out of a thunderstorm. In contrast to regular lightning, this unusual occurrence takes place at the top of storm clouds and can soar all the way into the ionosphere.
Unsolved Mysteries is taking a deeper look into West Virginia’s most famous cryptid.
The cryptid known as The Mothman is a popular topic in West Virginia folklore, but the ominous entity isn’t exclusive to the Mountain State.
There have been sightings across the midwest in cities as far away as Chicago, where tales of the black-flying humanoid creature have been spotted both during the day and night.
According to Tudom by Netflix, paranormal investigator Tobias Wayland noticed an increase in Mothman reports coming out of the Windy City and decided to do a little digging into the tales.
Tudom reports that Wayland reached out to colleague and native of Chicago, Lon Strickler, who says Chicagoans have been reporting sightings of a flying entity with bat-like wings spanning 12 to 15 feet for years.
The creature is known to the people as the Chicago Phantom, but Wayland suspects the Phantom and Mothman are one and the same.
According to Tudom, Strickler has found as many as 161 sightings in the Chicago area, many at the Chicago O’Hare airport, where employees have reported seeing a large, winged, humanoid figure.
Tudom describes the creature as a dark figure with red eyes and a large humanlike body that appears shiny or wet. The ominous figure is thought to be an ill omen, bringing death and destruction at each sighting.
Reports of the nightmarish entity have come out of the world’s worst disasters, such as Fukushima, the Chernobyl meltdown, and the collapse of the Silver Bridge in Point Pleasant, West Virginia.
The Mothman is no stranger to mainstream media. In 2002, Richard Gere starred in the horror thriller Mothman Prophesies, which follows the tale of a journalist who researches the history of the cryptid.
Tudom reports that Unsolved Mysteries also aired a segment of the winged entity, and since then, many more stories have come to light.
The revamp of the long-running show is taking a deeper look into the history of the Mothman, examining more than 50 years of sightings in the upcoming Unsolved Mysteries Volume 4, Episode 5, “The Mothman Revisited.”
Todum offers an inside look at “The Mothman Revisted” with evidence and a map of where sightings have been recorded.

35ft 'horned' beast is America's answer to Loch Ness Monster lurking in Florida river.
Florida locals have been petrified of a 'four-legged, horned' beast that's supposedly been lurking in the murky depths of St John's river for best part of two centuries.
For decades residents of a Florida town have been enthralled by the mystery of a 35-foot-long creature allegedly lurking in the nearby waters.
The first reported sighting of the so-called ‘St. Johns River Monster’ happened in 1849 when a sea captain was quoted in a local newspaper called the Examiner claiming “his own and the attention of the crew was riveted upon an immense sea monster which he took to be a serpent”.

Footage captured by a Texas motorist shows a mysterious object falling from the sky. The very weird video was reportedly filmed by a driver cruising down the highway near the city of Amarillo last week. Sharing the strange scene on TikTok, the witness marveled at the curious sight and indicated that the odd object either burned up or simply disappeared after seemingly plummeting straight down.
Footage from Brazil provides a remarkably clear look at a flying saucer spotted hovering in the sky. The curious scene is said to have been filmed this past Sunday in the city of Curitiba. Sharing their video online, the bewildered witness mused that "I never believed in UFOs" until seeing the strange saucer-shaped object. Initially suspecting that the aerial anomaly could be a drone, they indicated that the apparent lack of any propellers caused them to dismiss that theory. Similarly, the witness observed that the object seemed to move in a straight line, which made them doubtful that the flying saucer was a balloon.
Video from the Spanish island of Ibiza shows what appears to be an odd UFO that appeared in the sky near the moon and then took off at an incredible speed. According to a local media report, the peculiar footage came to light on Sunday when it was posted on the official TikTok account of the popular tourist destination. The strange sighting was said to have occurred the previous day as a group of people gathered on the beach to watch the sunset near an iconic islet known as of Es Vedra. Suddenly, their attention is diverted to a different point in the sky when a little girl cries "look, look, look" and points toward a rather sizeable orb that had appeared near the moon.
A remarkably clear video of a UFO over New York City's Laguardia Airport has gone viral as the witness who captured the footage has come forward to share her story. The tantalizing scene caused something of a stir in UFO research circles when it first appeared online last month and found new life this week when NewsNation's Ashleigh Banfield spoke to Michelle Reyes about filming the strange cylindrical object object as she was flying out of NYC with her daughter in late March. "When I realized that I had something like this on video, the first thing I did was email the FAA," she explained, as "maybe it was a safety hazard."
Scientists have detected dimethyl sulphide in the atmosphere of the distant extrasolar planet K2-18b, which orbits a dwarf star 124 light years away from Earth. This gas, believed to be 'only produced by life,' has sparked excitement as K2-18b sits within its star's habitable zone and could have liquid water on its surface. Study leader Dr. Nikku Madhusudhan expressed surprise and cautious optimism about the discovery, which has raised questions about the possibility of alien life. The team plans to analyze new data from the James Webb Space Telescope to confirm whether this finding indeed signifies the presence of life on K2-18b.
