Have we always been watched from the skies? Across time and continents, humanity has recorded strange encounters with objects that defy explanation.

Cave paintings depict mysterious shapes in the sky, and Egyptian hieroglyphics feature carvings of unusual objects. Ancient texts, such as the Bible and Vedic literature, describe encounters with glowing chariots and fiery wheels. By the 16th century, these objects appeared in Renaissance art, their saucer-like shapes captured in the heavens.
In 1942, on a busy street in China, a photographer selling souvenir pictures suddenly noticed a large, dark, disc-shaped object hovering silently in the sky. He quickly raised his camera and captured a clear photo of the object. A military officer present on the street bought the photograph and tucked it away in a scrapbook he compiled during his campaign in China. For years, it went unnoticed—until a Japanese gentleman discovered the old album containing the remarkable image.
That same year, U.S. Marine Sergeant Stephen Brickner, stationed in the Solomon Islands, witnessed an astonishing sight. He described over 150 ‘wobbling’ objects flying in formations of ten to twelve crafts each. These unconventional, loud objects defied explanation.
It was during the height of World War II that encounters with UFOs became increasingly direct. American, British, and German pilots reported crossing paths with otherworldly objects that came to be known as ‘Foo Fighters.’ These glowing, fast-moving objects seemed to defy the laws of physics, leaving pilots and crews with more questions than answers.
Each sighting left those who witnessed it grappling with awe and confusion. Could these moments be fleeting glimpses of visitors from another world—or signs of something we are only beginning to understand?
“It is my thesis that flying saucers are real and that they are space ships from another solar system. I think that they possibly are manned by intelligent observers who are members of a race that may have been investigating our Earth for centuries. I think that they possibly have been sent out to conduct systematic, long-range investigations, first of men, animals, vegetation, and more recently of atomic centers, armaments and centers of armament production.”
Professor Hermann Oberth (1894–1989)
German rocket expert and a founding father of the space age
“Flying Saucers Come from a Distant World,”
The American Weekly, October 24, 1954
Dan Morris, a retired Air Force Master Sergeant, spent much of his career immersed in highly classified extraterrestrial projects. After his Air Force service, he was recruited into the National Reconnaissance Organization, or NRO, a secretive agency so covert that its existence was rarely acknowledged. During this time, Morris held a clearance known as “cosmic top-secret,” a level 38 tiers above standard top-secret clearance. He claimed no U.S. president had ever attained such access, with Dwight Eisenhower being the closest.
Morris explained that this clearance was exclusively for operations related to UFOs and extraterrestrial matters. He described the intricate web of intelligence agencies involved, including the Air Force, Navy, and Army, as well as organizations like the Alien Contact Intelligence Organization (ACIO). According to Morris, ACIO operated on an international scale, sharing extraterrestrial information with member governments that adhered to its protocols.
He also revealed that the Nazis recovered two UFOs in the early 1930s and began reverse-engineering the technology. Before World War II even began, Germany had developed a functioning craft. Morris referred to these as “Hun-dee-doo” One and Two, describing the second as a saucer-like vehicle approximately 30 to 40 feet across, equipped with three bouncing spheres used for landing.
Morris connected this advanced German technology to the mysterious “Foo Fighters” encountered during World War II. These unmanned vehicles appeared in bomber formations, defying all attempts by Allied pilots to evade or destroy them. According to Morris, the Foo Fighters used anti-gravity electromagnetic propulsion, allowing them to disrupt aircraft engines and even disable power plants or nuclear silos—capabilities that mirrored modern UFO phenomena.
The United States, he stated, gained a technological edge after the war by recruiting German scientists, including Wernher von Braun and Viktor Schauberger. Schauberger, an expert in electromagnetic propulsion, contributed significantly to research at White Sands and other New Mexico facilities. However, Schauberger’s relationship with the U.S. ended abruptly. Feeling betrayed, he returned to Germany, only to die under mysterious circumstances two weeks later.
Morris emphasized that the archives hold extensive documentation and footage of these events, further underscoring the reality of these encounters and their impact on human history.
Sergeant Clifford Stone, a former U.S. Army soldier, was part of a specialized team tasked with retrieving crashed extraterrestrial crafts and their occupants. Over the course of his duties, he claimed to have encountered both living and deceased extraterrestrials. With access to black-ops bases and secret projects, Stone became privy to highly classified operations and information.
He recounted the events of February 26, 1942, known as the “Battle of Los Angeles.” On that night, an estimated fifteen to twenty unidentified craft flew over the city. In response, the 37th Coastal Artillery Group fired 1,430 rounds in an attempt to bring them down. Despite the extensive effort, none of the objects were destroyed or recovered. Search teams investigated the possibility of an Axis base or a hidden airfield from which these craft could have originated, but every lead proved fruitless.
At the same time, in the Pacific theater, American forces reported encounters with the mysterious “Foo Fighters,” strange flying objects that defied explanation. General Douglas MacArthur directed his intelligence teams to investigate the phenomena. According to Stone, by 1943, MacArthur had come to believe that these objects were not of Earthly origin. The general concluded that visitors from another planet were observing the events of World War II.
This realization led MacArthur to form the Interplanetary Phenomena Research Unit, an organization later overseen by General George Marshall. Though the Army has since denied its official existence, Stone stated that the unit was tasked with investigating UFOs and recovering non-Earthly objects. The work of this unit continues in some form to the present day, though its names and records have been altered or hidden over time.
Stone described the unit’s mission as a multi-intelligence operation focused on the recovery of objects of unknown origin. Its purpose was to collect field intelligence, process it into actionable data, and disseminate it to those with a “need to know.” He also reported that one of MacArthur’s Air Force generals explicitly confirmed the extraterrestrial origin of the phenomena, stating, “What we have is something not of this Earth.”
Stone suggested that even the Germans during World War II had uncovered evidence of extraterrestrial visitors and possessed some form of physical proof. While Stone himself was not privy to the specifics of this evidence, the documents he reviewed during his service confirmed its existence. MacArthur, he believed, had definitive proof that humanity was being observed by something far beyond Earth.
What does it all mean? Across centuries, cultures, and conflicts, humanity has recorded encounters with objects and phenomena that defy explanation—objects that seem to exist beyond the boundaries of our knowledge and technology. From ancient cave paintings to wartime encounters with “Foo Fighters,” the accounts are consistent, persistent, and haunting.
The testimonies of individuals like Dan Morris and Clifford Stone shed light on a deeper narrative: one of secrecy, advanced technology, and the possibility that we are not alone. If their experiences are to be believed, the implications are profound. The reverse-engineering of alien technology, covert government programs, and interplanetary investigations point to a reality far more complex than we dare to imagine.
Are these encounters evidence of a presence observing us from the shadows of history, intervening in moments of global consequence? Or are they glimpses of something even more incomprehensible? Whatever the answer, one thing is clear—our skies hold mysteries that challenge our understanding of existence itself. Perhaps, as Professor Hermann Oberth suggested, these visitors have been watching us for centuries, studying humanity’s rise, its conflicts, and its advancements.
The story is far from over. The evidence remains, locked away in classified archives, hinted at in fleeting testimonies, and etched in the memories of those who have seen what lies beyond the stars. The question now is not whether we have been watched—but why.
