Is there any historical evidence that UFO’s exist?

Answer: The first recorded UFO sighting was in 214 BCE, when Roman historian Livius wrote that ‘phantom ships had been seen gleaming in the sky’.

On his famous 1492 voyage, Christopher Columbus made several ship’s log entries about large and unusual lights in the sea.

In 1556 a UFO appeared above Basel Switzerland and five years later an ‘aerial battle’ occurred over Nuremberg, Germany.

On April 2, 1716, Russian vice-admiral Naum Senyavin and Holland’s ambassador to Russia reported a ‘terrifying’ aerial battle over Saint Petersburg.

In April 1897, Aurora, Texas townsfolk reported a UFO crash on a local farm.

During World War Two, US five-star general Douglas MacArthur formed the ‘Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit’ in response to numerous UFO sightings by his soldiers and airmen. The New York Times later reported MacArthur saying the next war will be against ‘extra terrestrials’.

On July 8, 1947 the Roswell Daily Record newspaper, in New Mexico, famously reported the US air force had recovered a crashed flying saucer on a local ranch.

The following year, American air force general Hoyt Vandenburg ordered that a top-secret report detailing indisputable evidence of UFOs be burned. He said, if it got out, “it would cause a stampede.”
