UFO ‘the size of three aircraft carriers’ seen over US nuclear reactor
In 1945, American military pilots saw a huge UFO over the first nuclear reactor in the United States.
Pilots
flying Grumman F6F Hellcat fighters saw an unidentified flying object,
the size of three aircraft carriers, in the sky over the Hanford
complex.
The Hanford Radioactive Production Facility was built in
1943 as part of the Manhattan Project on the banks of the Columbia River
in Washington State. It also housed the world’s first industrial
plutonium production reactor.
Documents of sightings of a huge UFO at this site were found in the archives of NICAP
– the National Investigative Committee on Airborne Incidents
investigating UFO incidents, which operated in the 1950s and 1980s in
the United States.
During
the Second World War, about 60 miles from Hanford was the US Naval Base
Pasco, responsible for training pilots for combat missions from
aircraft carriers.
In July 1945, the base’s radar spotted a very
fast moving object that eventually hovered directly over the Hanford
reactor building. The object was so high that the pilots sent to the
object could not see it visually for a long time. When they gained
altitude and saw it, they immediately realized that this was not like
any flying vessel known to them.
The object was saucer-shaped and bright. And it began to rise abnormally quickly when fighters began to fly up to it.
The
maximum altitude that the F6Fs could reach was about 11 km, but that
day they climbed even higher than this line and still could not catch up
with the UFO.
At
the same time, the object did not make any movements showing that it
was threatening aircraft, did not give any signals, it simply hovered at
a high altitude, as if observing. When the fighters faced the risk of
engine failure and fuel consumption became critical, they were forced to
return to base one by one.
The strange object disappeared about 20 minutes later, just as suddenly as it appeared.
In total, six pilots saw the UFO and they later described it as “the
size of three aircraft carriers, placed side by side”, oval in shape,
heavily streamlined “like an elongated egg”, and pinkish in color.
According
to the testimony of one of the pilots, something like steam was coming
out of the outer edges of the object, from vents or viewing holes. At
the time of the incident, the sky was clear and the UFO hovered at an
altitude of about 20 km.
This
is a truly impressive incident, showing that the aliens have been
interested in humanity’s nuclear technology from the very beginning. And
maybe after that they “corrected” their actions, no longer sending such
large ships for observation.
And this was not the only UFO visit to the Hanford area.
A
handwritten report from 1947 written by Commander R.W. Hendershot was
also found in the NICAP archives. According to this report, in the
second half of December 1944, and also in January and February 1945,
radar operators at Pasco AFB saw strange flying objects on their radar
screens.
These sudden “flashes” appeared as if from nowhere and
then flew from the northwest to the southeast, quickly disappearing from
the radar screens. In two such cases, fighter jets were sent to
intercept the object with the order for the pilots to shoot down
everything that seemed hostile to them.
However,
in each of the two such cases, the pilots failed to make “contact” with
the strange UFOs. In one case, it was indicated that the object was too
high for this.
Here is a copy of Hendershot’s hand-written letter:
“In the latter part of December 1944 and January and February 1945,
radar operators at the Naval Air Station, Pasco, Washington, reported
unusual blips on their radar screens.
“These
blips appeared out of nowhere and proceeded from Northwest of the Air
Station to the Southeast and consequently off of the radar screens. A
fighter pilot was made available with an armed F6F fighter and given
orders to shoot down anything that appeared to be hostile.
“He was
vectored out on two occasions that this writer remembers, but, in each
instance made no contact. The blip always acted much like a Piper Cub
aircraft and at about the same speed.
“The writer was vectored out
one afternoon in an SNJ aircraft to make contact with one of these
blips. This particular one appeared to be very high according to the
radar operators.
“Nothing was sighted but the operators reported
two blips on the screen. The writer is convinced that there was
something there, but, the mystery as to what it was will apparently
never be answered.”
A former US Air Force fighter pilot asserts that he has deciphered
the method behind the extraordinary maneuvers of UFOs, reports dailystar.co.uk.
Over
the past two decades, numerous military encounters with these enigmatic
crafts have been reported, prompting a significant investigation by the
Pentagon.
One of the most renowned sightings occurred during the
USS Nimitz encounter, where fighter pilots witnessed a UFO descending
from 28,000 feet to just above sea level in less than a second.
This
astonishing movement would imply that the craft reached a staggering
speed of 19,000 miles per hour, a velocity that would be fatal to any
human pilot.
According
to Chris Lehto, a former USAF pilot, the craft exhibits two key
characteristics: it moves without inertia, essentially lacking weight,
and it accelerates at an incredibly rapid pace without affecting its
surroundings.

Chris
believes that the explanation lies within a technology that seems
straight out of science fiction. He proposes that the answer to the UFO
enigma lies in the Alcubierre Drive, a theoretical interstellar engine
conceptualized by Mexican physicist Miguel Alcubierre in 1994.
The
Alcubierre Drive employs a form of “space warp” technology, reminiscent
of what has been depicted in episodes of Star Trek. By bending space, a
craft inside a “warp bubble” could potentially travel at or even
surpass the speed of light without violating the known laws of physics.
While
the Alcubierre Drive remains a hypothetical concept with challenges to
overcome, Chris notes that the required energy is no longer believed to
be unattainably large.
Patents
filed with the US patent office outline the potential workings of the
drive, as well as another groundbreaking technology theorized by
American aerospace engineer Salvatore Pais.
Pais suggests that
high-powered rotating magnets could theoretically eliminate an object’s
inertia, and he has filed a patent for a starship based on this
principle.
However, Chris maintains skepticism regarding Pais’
theory. He explains that while Pais’s patent applications for the US
Navy attracted attention for their potential energy-related
applications, doubts have been raised about their feasibility. There is
speculation that they may be scams, pseudoscience, or disinformation
intended to mislead adversaries of the United States.
Alternatively,
rival theories propose that the “Tic Tac” UFO is a classified Pentagon
project testing similar advanced technologies discussed by Chris.
Scientists say they have found evidence of a new Earth-like
planet that has suddenly appeared in our Solar System and is orbiting
the Sun.
Physicists, including those from the National Astronomical Observatory
of Japan, said the planet is likely to be the mysterious ‘Planet Nine’
that was hypothesised to exist in the far outer edges of the Solar
System.
Several studies in the past have suggested there is likely an
undiscovered planet beyond the Kuiper Belt – a stellar disk of materials
such as asteroids, space rocks, comets around the Sun in the outer
Solar System past the orbit of Neptune.
Independent.co.uk reports: In the new research, published recently in The Astronomical Journal, scientists
found that some of the objects in the Kuiper Belt behave in a way
indicative of the presence of a small planet among them.
One such object, they said, is about 500 astronomical units (AU) from
the Sun, where 1 AU is the distance between the Sun and the Earth.
In comparison Neptune is at a distance of 30 AUs from the Sun.
Some of these were also found to have “odd” orbits suggesting they
are being pull by the gravity of a cosmic entity larger than those that
typically influence such objects.
Computer simulations run by the scientists indicate that the most
likely explanation for the observations was another hidden planet in the
Kuiper Belt.
“We predict the existence of an Earth-like planet,” researchers wrote in the study.
“It is plausible that a primordial planetary body could survive in
the distant Kuiper Belt as a Kuiper Belt planet (KBP), as many such
bodies existed in the early solar system,” they added.
If such a planet exists, researchers say it would have a mass about
1.5 to 3 times that of Earth with an inclination of about 30 degrees.
They say the theorised planet’s orbit would likely place it between 250 and 500 AU from the Sun.
Researchers say the discovery of such a planet close to the Kuiper
Belt can unravel new constraints on planet formation and evolution.
“In conclusion, the results of the KBP scenario support the existence
of a yet-undiscovered planet in the far outer solar system,” scientists
noted.
