The museum has long been a popular tourist destination with hundreds of thousands of people visiting it every year.Founded in 1991 at the site of a 1930s movie theater, the International UFO Museum and Research Center is situated in Roswell, New Mexico – home to one of the most famous alleged UFO incidents of all time.

Inside, visitors can find a variety of UFO-themed exhibits as well as a veritable library of material concerning the Roswell incident itself as well as the general history of the UFO phenomenon.

Some of its most famous exhibits include a miniature model of the Roswell crash site, an alien autopsy scene and even an interactive exhibit that puts you in control of an alien spaceship.

Now the museum is celebrating a major new milestone – 5 million visitors – with an unsuspecting father and daughter from Roswell itself winning free lifetime membership.

In total, around 220,000 people descend on the museum every year from all over the world.

It also serves as the focal point of the popular UFOfest event that is held in the town every year.

A curious piece of trail camera footage from Canada shows a mysterious set of lights that rise up from the ground and then float across the sky. The peculiar scene was reportedly captured on June 21st on the property of Anne Vickers in the community of Caledon, Ontario. Sharing the footage with MUFON, she indicated that the trail camera was seemingly activated by a raccoon that was roaming around in her yard. In the video, shortly after the creature caused the motion-activated device to start filming, what appears to be an object sporting nine lights in a straight line emerges from the tall grass next to the animal, which has no reaction to the eerie aerial interloper. The peculiar UFO then flies overhead and vanishes from view.

According to Vickers’ MUFON report, “this property has no houses nearby, or any roads, and it’s not a flight path for airplanes.” She goes on to note that “there were 50-foot trees behind the lights” and, as such, argues that “there is no way it could have flown through them.” As for what the object might have been, setting aside the extraterrestrial hypothesis, some observers have suggested that it could have been some kind of drone, though why it would be lurking on Vickers’ property is another mystery altogether. More skeptical observers have also posited that the footage may be a digital creation, which sadly cannot be discounted in this day and age.

An airliner passenger traveling from Los Angeles to Atlanta captured footage of what appears to be a cluster of UFOs flying alongside the plane. The intriguing sighting reportedly occurred earlier this month shortly after the unnamed witness’ flight had departed from California. Although they were uncertain of exactly where they were along the trip, they indicated that it occurred as the airliner was “at 41,000 feet above possibly Nevada or Arizona.” While gazing out their window, the passenger was stunned to see “something flying in tandem with us” in the form of four glowing orbs that were tightly clustered together and seemingly rotating.

Fortunately, the bewildered witness managed to capture footage of the curious cluster, which some UFO enthusiasts have likened to the famed Phoenix lights case from 1997. That said, more skeptical observers have offered more prosaic explanations for the odd orbs with some suggesting that they could be lights from a community beneath the aircraft or another plane that only appears unusual due to the angle of the witness. 

Intriguing footage captured by a security camera shows a strange aerial object moving in the nighttime skies of Kansas City, MO. The host of Hidden Underbelly 2.0 has conjectured that we may be looking at a partially cloaked UFO. The video was reportedly recorded on October 13th, 2022, and when Anthony B. saw the object moving on his home screen, he ran outside to see it in person, but it had already vanished.

In the soundless footage, the curiously-shaped craft, which has a partially transparent quality, can be seen moving behind a set of trees, which suggests it has some solidity and is not simply a reflection.

But we have to remember this is a video. An Investigator I saw on TV a while back said he never trusts videos. They are easily doctored and hoaxed.

Several individuals in Mexico were left scratching their heads at the sight of a puzzling UFO that appeared to rotate in the night sky. The curious event reportedly occurred last Wednesday evening in the town of Tequila located in the state of Jalisco. At least four groups of people who were out that night spotted the peculiar sight, which resembled a set of glowing lights that seemingly slowly spun in the sky until vanishing into thin air. By virtue of the event having so many witnesses, it wound up being captured on film from multiple vantage points, which allows for a rather unique perspective on the peculiar aerial anomaly.

As for what it could have been, some skeptical observers have suggested that the objects could have been recently launch SpaceX Starlink satellites, which actually spawned UFO reports in both India and Texas early last week and have been the cause of similar confusion in the past. However, such incidents usually feature a string of lights in the night sky rather than what appears to have been seen over Tequila. Other suggestions for the oddity include some kind of drone, a clandestine military craft, and, of course, aliens.

The effort is scientific in nature and isn’t related to a Pentagon task force also investigating the phenomena.

NASA announced Thursday that it’s launching a scientific study of reported sightings of UFOs, the latest in a wave of federal agencies trying to understand the nature of a series of unidentified aircraft flying in protected airspace in recent years.

The goal of the study, which is due to be wrapped up in nine months, is meant to improve aircraft safety while gaining a better overall understanding of the aircraft, which the government refers to as “unmanned aerial phenomena,” or UAPs.

“NASA is uniquely positioned to address UAPs,” said Daniel Evans, the agency’s assistant deputy associate administrator for research. “Who other than us can use the power of data and science to look at what’s happening in our skies?”

NASA plans to recruit some of the nation’s leading scientists and aeronautics experts to participate in the study.

“There are phenomena we don’t understand,” said David Spergal, leader of the study and president of the Simons Foundation, a New York-based academic organization. “How do we start to make progress on a very limited set of observations? We start by trying to figure out what data is out there.”

The project is separate from the Pentagon’s effort, which is gathering information from a host of federal intelligence agencies on the phenomena over the past few years. NASA plans to share its findings publicly once the study is complete.

“It’s extremely important to us that this remains a fully-transparent, open and therefore unclassified study,” Evans said. “We’re going to have public meetings about this, too.”

NASA stressed the project will be conducted no differently than any other scientific investigation the space agency undertakes, and will cost no more than $100,000.

The announcement comes amid soaring interest in UFOs by Congress, the administration and the American public. In May, Defense Department officials testified before a House Intelligence subcommittee on the progress of the Pentagon’s Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group.

Scott Bray, deputy director of naval intelligence, testified that the group has received more than 400 UAP reports, noting that the stigma for reporting incidents has been reduced.

Bray also testified that the Pentagon observed an increasing number of UAP sightings since the early 2000s, a fact that has puzzled lawmakers as questions emerge whether the phenomena present a national security threat by a potential adversary.

Like the Pentagon, NASA also hopes its efforts will help reduce the stigma associated with reporting UAPs. While the findings may also help in the agency’s search for alien life, more data likely will be needed to draw those conclusions as the organization has no evidence UAPs are extraterrestrial in origin.

Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA’s associate administrator for science, said he believes the possibility of the sightings representing extraterrestrial life is a high bar to reach and that a better understanding lies in the data used in the study, some of which already exists in public archives.

“We have demonstrated over the past years our interest in the overall question of finding life elsewhere and also finding intelligent life elsewhere using the tools of science,” Zurbuchen said.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson has already made public comments about the sightings, emphasizing their mystery may be cause for concern.

“We hope it’s not an adversary here on Earth that has that kind of technology,” Nelson said at an October virtual discussion at the University of Virginia. “But it’s something.”

Television viewers watching coverage of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee festivities were left scratching their heads at the appearance of an inexplicable white orb that mysteriously zipped through the sky over Buckingham Palace. The puzzling UFO sighting reportedly occurred last Thursday as the United Kingdom kicked off its four-day-long celebration of the queen’s 70th year as monarch by way of a ceremonial parade wherein, as part of the event, nine Royal Air Force jets took to the sky and dispersed long streams of red, white, and blue smoke. As the colorful flypast unfolded, many people watching from home found their attention drawn to a peculiar aerial interloper that was apparently not a part of the show.

As seen in the video above, the curious UFO appeared out of nowhere and seemed to flew through the sky across the colored streams of smoke left behind by the Royal aircraft. Attentive TV viewers quickly noted the odd object and a clip showing the mystifying moment spread like wildfire on social media with many wondering what exactly the anomaly might have been. Given the historic nature of the weekend’s events, some have suggested that perhaps the UFO was an alien craft making an appearance over Buckingham Palace as some kind of interstellar salute to the queen’s epic seven decades upon the throne.

Meanwhile, skeptical-minded viewers have, of course, offered a more prosaic explanation for the UFO, suggesting that it was a stationary object that appeared to be moving due to what is known as the parallax effect. Should that be the case, while it is uncertain exactly what the anomaly was, it’s possible that the orb was simply an errant balloon, given the celebratory nature of the event.
