Of the numerous reported UFO sightings, those near military airbases are the most compelling and realistic.

In these cases, there are typically highly dependable and well-prepared witnesses who have very little motivation to lie, and who, regardless of how perplexed they may be by what they observe, do not automatically accuse aliens but rather seek a rational explanation.

Consider the intriguing instance of a UFO above a Japanese military base.

Legends of UFO Over It is most common in the United States and Europe, although it also occurs in other nations, including Japan.

There is an airbase for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force at Chitose, which is located on the island of Hokkaido. In 1947, or shortly after the end of World War II, the United States took over this base for their own use. Shortly thereafter, from July 1, 1947 to September 16, 1947, this location was the site of a bizarre sequence of UFO sightings that never actually occurred. received an explanation that made sense.

On 1 July 1947, a mysterious target emerged on the radar of Chitose, which was positioned 16 miles north of the base and 180 degrees to the east. The target was traveling at 500 miles per hour at a height of approximately 3 kilometers.

The target then quickly reversed direction 360 degrees and flew 28 miles before abruptly altering course a second time, this time 240 degrees. The item then reversed course and returned to its original location before escaping radar detection.

During the occurrence, the item not only defied the known rules of physics and the aeronautical capabilities of the time, but it also separated into two smaller things before recombining. This section of the official report on this observation follows:

"It was determined that there was more than one object on July 1, 1947, and the size of the objects was equivalent to that of four P-51 airplanes. When this target first altered course at point A, it split into two objects, which recombined on its departing route to form one huge object.

The origin of the mystery item could not be determined, but it was evident that they were not local aircraft, as two military aircraft were not permitted to fly concurrently over this region, per local regulations.

The radar detected two additional identical objects on August 29 and September 16 of the same year. The September event revealed that something was travelling at supersonic speed and demonstrating dexterity much beyond the capability of even the most advanced aircraft of the day.

"The speed cited in the previous article appears implausible for piloted aircraft considering that it was well-documented in the supersonic range. If the objective were an airplane, it would take an enormous amount of fuel to maintain this speed. If it was a missile, it is impossible to see it functioning for a sufficient length of time for her to return to her base.

The evidence offered does not conclusively indicate that all of the reported objects were airplanes or missiles, but it does support the conclusion that they were not natural phenomena.

A bizarre UFO event occurred at the Haneda Air Force Base near Tokyo in 1952. Two Air Force control tower operators at the facility observed a brilliant light in the sky on August 5, 1952. This item lingered near the control tower as it reached the base.

Looking attentively at the dazzling illumination, individuals observed a black, round object. This mysterious flying object then proceeded to conduct sophisticated aerial maneuvers over the base, and it was perfectly apparent both visually and on the radar.

An F-94 fighter piloted by W. R. Holder was assigned to follow the mysterious invader, but was unable to even approach it.

The incident report contained the following:

"The F-94 began pursuing a UFO that was also being detected by ground radar, and the UFO performed a series of repeated circular movements. At some time, the UFO abruptly accelerated away at a speed of 300 knots (about 345 miles per hour), breaking into three distinct radar objects.

The Haneda Air Base sustained visual or radar contact with the UFO for more than thirty minutes. Around this time period, sporadic witnesses reported seeing UFOs precisely where the radar showed.

Major Dewey Fournet, the representative of the Blue Book project at the Pentagon, nominated him as one of the examples proving that the UFOs were extraterrestrial spacecraft since their maneuvers were so obviously under intelligent control.

Obviously, none of this was revealed to the public and was carefully concealed "under the carpet." The official explanation given to the military was that witnesses observed a star-like light emanating from a brilliant star, and that the radar readings were "false radar echoes" created by a "temperature inversion layer."

Pass on. A UFO visited the Naha airbase on Okinawa in 1963. Base staff have submitted a comprehensive report. In it, an eyewitness called Marty states that he and a companion named Frank were observing the sky at 11:40 p.m. on June 26, 1963, when they observed an unexplainable object.

"It didn't look like anything we'd ever seen before. I took out my binoculars to improve my vision. We did not use the term "UFO" at the time, but we recognized that the ship we observed did not match any known category. in the Air Force aircraft inventory.

Just above our base, we observed a massive, slow-moving disc traveling in a constant northerly trajectory. No navigation lights or red and green wingtip lights were visible, despite the fact that all nighttime pilots must have their navigation lights on.

This was not an uncommon cloud formation, weather balloon, or flare. Frank and I were well-versed in the vast majority of the military's aircraft inventory, having served as communications experts in control towers and near active flight lines.

The object was moving at around one hundred knots and maintaining a constant altitude of three or four thousand feet. It was approximately 75 feet in diameter. We did not observe any antennae, domes, portholes, or insignia. It was silent, with no engine sounds.

Bearing the form of a disk, it appeared to be flat. The ship's exterior looked to be composed of a drab yet reflective metallic substance. Its furthest margins were razor-thin."

First, Marty and Frank feared that the UFO would attack them, and they had already planned to flee. However, the object was moving away from them, and they were able to relax somewhat. They then ascended the building's fire escape to study the unusual item until it disappeared from view. Then, they were uncertain on what to do with this case and whom to inform. When they reported the sighting, they were informed that the radar was devoid of any signals.

Marty continued to carefully observe the skies in the days that followed in the hopes of spotting the UFO again, and after several weeks of futile searching, he was successful.

"Over the course of a few weeks, I devoted my leisure time to observing the night sky and hoped for another encounter. I purposely purchased a Nikon 8mm camera. I brought it wherever I went, just in case. My prospects of sighting a UFO began to diminish." A few weeks later, though, just when I was beginning to believe that the initial sighting was an isolated incident, I saw it again.

I opted to relax after completing my second shift in the Communications Center and returned to the barracks. I was seated in a chair outside the boarding area on the second floor. When I placed my feet on the railing, I began to recall my initial observation. Because I was alone, the prospect terrified me to death. A month previously, Frank and I had seen a spacecraft identical to the one that resurfaced just before 1 a.m.

My thoughts shifted from a comfortable condition to a fight-or-flight one in a second. My body froze and my adrenaline levels shot through the roof. My heart rate increased and my hair stood on end. I was unable to move my legs. I did not have my camera with me since I left it in my room.

I mentally determined the optimal line of action. I was sitting alone in the darkness near my barracks, with only the UFO for company. As soon as it became apparent that no laser beams were being fired at me from the spacecraft, and that he was traveling north of my location, common reason triumphed. Thanks be to God.

My brain recovered control of my body within seconds, and I was able to move my legs. I stood up and performed the inevitable next step: I ran like hell."
