From South Pole To England Objects Seen Zipping Through Space Again
Reports from Antarctica to England describe mysterious flying objects moving through space that interfere with electromagnetic equipment. At least five international sightings in two weeks remain unexplained. The Air Force has logged 9,127 reports since 1947, with 667 still unidentified, mostly likely balloons, birds, searchlights, jet exhausts, or a neighbor’s red and white kite. Maj Donald E Keyhoe argues many cases suggest alien origin, while Project Bluebook remains unable to prove space-based sources.
