When Astronomers See UFOs

A dangerous misconception exists in the field of ufology that there are no astronomers who have seen UFOs. But nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, there is a long list of famous astronomers who have had remarkable UFO sightings. In 1952, J. Allen Hynek, the astronomical consultant for the Air Force’s Project Blue Book held a conference with a group of astronomers. He asked about UFOs and received some shocking responses. “Over forty astronomers were interviewed,” he said, “of which five had made sightings of one sort or another. This is a higher percentage than among the populace at large.” Researcher Alejandro Rojas of Open Minds, writes “Often people will ask me, ‘If there are so many UFOs, why aren’t astronomers seeing them?’ They are! In fact, astronomers have been some of the most influential advocates for the serious study of UFOs.” This video presents over a dozen accounts from astronomers who have seen UFOs.

In March of 1676, Edmund Halley (the discover of Halley’s comet) observed an object he described as a “vast body apparently bigger than the moon.” He estimates that it was 40 miles high, and moving well over 9000 mph. He would later have other sightings of more unexplained lights in the sky and on the moon, and on March 6, 1716, saw a strange UFO which remained in the sky for 2 full hours.

In 1783, Sir William Herschel (discover of Uranus and several moons throughout our solar system) observed several strange and unexplained lights on the moon. And again. on October 2, 1790, he saw more unexplained lights on the moon’s surface. On several occasions he also reported seeing UFOs in the sky which he described variously as, “round…oval…and disc-shaped,” very much like today’s modern-day UFOs.

On April 12, 1879, astronomer Henry Harrison says that he observed a strange object high in the skies over New York City which remained in view for three hours. He didn’t know it at the time, but another astronomer, Spencer J. Devoe, also saw apparently the same object, and was also unable to identify it. Researcher Morris K Jessup later triangulated the two observations and calculated that the object was no less than a half-mile wide...

We have a few astronomers here who have quietly made the same claim. Quietly because they will be ridiculed even though they are expert witnesses with real eyes in the sky...

Like everything else, this isn’t “settled science “.

The first word is actually “Unidentified “.

I for one will keep an open mind about the possibilities.

Well, in all my years as an amateur astronomer, I haven’t been fortunate enough to have seen one. I DO believe others have seen them, I just haven’t been in the right place at the right time. I do envy them.

Same here.

A friend of mine apparently saw one in the early 80s. I believe him.

He lived a few miles from me.

The ants that build their homes near the curb at the end of my driveway look up and see a “Unidentified Walking Object” every morning. They have no idea what it is. They see it all the time.

People who stare at stars all day are like those ants.

Thank you for sharing that. I hope it finds some intelligent objective review. I am totally hip to the concepts and research them just about all day long. And the connections to consciousness are incredible. There are researchers who can literally call them to come show up using developed advanced consciousness. The connections are extremely spiritual... And the Bible is chocked FULL of these historical events and records.

Lots of people have seen UNIDENTIFIED flying objects.

My closest brush with such things happened in the middle of the day, and the object was not very far away, so I had some visual clues. But had it been at night, and had the object had lights of any kind, I would have seen a very large, stationary object, shadowy in the night sky but with lights prompting the imagination, slowly spinning and then moving quite slowly in my direction, passing overhead without taking the slightest notice of the puny human staring at it from below.

Since it was daylight, late morning or early afternoon, and since I was up on my ladder painting my front porch, and since I was close enough to see the markings on the aircraft, I knew it was a B2 bomber. And knowing what was scheduled for the next day, I immediately knew that it was practicing for the big flyby that was part of the very impressive military parade that was held in DC after the first gulf war.

The plane was obviously turning over the Anacostia River and the RFK stadium property to get lined up for the flyby route, which ran down East Capitol Street to the Capitol Building and onwards from there. The uber ceremonial official parade route runs from the Capitol Building to the White House down Pennsylvania, but big parades have to stage somewhere. So they stage on and over Capitol Hill, often using the huge RFK Stadium parking lots. Back before the killjoys killed real circuses, we used to get the Barnum and Bailey parade every year, and we didn’t have to fight the crowds along the publicized route; everything staged on neighborhood streets, so we got the pre-parade procession to the starting point.

Anyhow, I was up on my ladder and the flyby rehearsal was beginning. For the next half hour, every type of plane involved in the first gulf war fly by, low and slow. But the B2 bomber was the first, and had it been at night, I would’ve seen a flying saucer.

Amazing! I didn't realize they were silent. The ones I saw were pretty loud. Not as loud as the B1 however.
