- The modern UFO era began on June 24, 1947, with Kenneth Arnold's sighting of nine disk-shaped objects over Washington, coining the term "flying saucer." Despite widespread reports, governments dismissed sightings as misidentifications or hoaxes.
- While officials like Lord Strabolgi denied UFO conspiracies, Timothy Good's research, using Freedom of Information Act documents, reveals extensive secret U.S. government investigations into UFOs since World War II, contradicting public statements.
- Key events include the 1930s "ghost aircraft" over Scandinavia, WWII "foo-fighters," the 1946 Scandinavian "ghost rockets," the 1942 Los Angeles UFO incident, and the 1952 Washington, D.C., sightings.
- Notable incidents like the 1980 Rendlesham Forest UFO landing, the 1956 Bentwaters/Lakenheath radar tracking and the 1980 London sighting provide compelling evidence of UFO activity, despite official denials of their significance.
- Good argues that governments conceal UFO evidence due to desires to replicate advanced technology, fears of public panic and national security concerns, as some UFOs exhibit capabilities surpassing current human technology.
In the annals of modern history, few topics evoke as much fascination and controversy as unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Timothy Good's groundbreaking book, "
Above Top Secret: The Worldwide UFO Cover-up," delves deep into the mysterious and often clandestine world of UFO sightings, government denials and the tantalizing hints of a global conspiracy. This article explores the key events and revelations detailed in Good's research, offering a nuanced look at a subject that continues to captivate and confound.
The modern era of UFO sightings can be traced back to June 24, 1947, when Kenneth Arnold, a private pilot, reported seeing nine disk-shaped objects flying over the Cascade Mountains in Washington. The term "flying saucer" was coined in the wake of this sighting, and it sparked a wave of similar reports from around the globe. However, the official response was swift and definitive: these sightings were dismissed as misidentifications, hoaxes, or natural phenomena.
In 1979, Lord Strabolgi, speaking for the British government, acknowledged the existence of "strange phenomena" in the skies but insisted that most sightings had "straightforward explanations." He categorically denied any government conspiracy, stating that there was "nothing to have a conspiracy of silence about." Yet, Good's research reveals a far more complex and intriguing story.
Timothy Good's book presents compelling documentary evidence obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, revealing that U.S. intelligence agencies have been conducting intensive secret research on UFOs since World War II. This evidence stands in stark contrast to the public denials of figures like Chapman Pincher, who, in 1981, confidently stated that UFOs were "entirely mythical" and that no resources were being wasted on them.
One of the earliest documented incidents occurred in the 1930s with the "ghost aircraft" sightings over Scandinavia. These unmarked aircraft, often observed in hazardous weather conditions, were investigated by the Swedish military. Major General Reutersward admitted to "illegal air traffic" over their secret military areas, but the true nature of these sightings remains a mystery.
During World War II, Allied aircrews reported encounters with "foo-fighters," small, apparently remote-controlled devices that followed their aircraft. Despite the British government's alleged investigation, details remain shrouded in secrecy. Similarly, the U.S. 8th Army launched an investigation but failed to provide a satisfactory explanation.
The post-war period saw a surge in UFO sightings. In 1946, over 2,000 "ghost rocket" sightings were reported in Scandinavia, with radar detecting objects that could not be explained by natural phenomena. The Swedish government launched an official inquiry but concluded without determining the origin or nature of these rockets.
The U.S. military has been involved in several high-profile incidents. On February 25, 1942, unidentified aircraft appeared over Los Angeles, prompting a massive anti-aircraft barrage. While the military claimed it was a false alarm, a secret memorandum from General George C. Marshall suggested otherwise, acknowledging the presence of unidentified airplanes.
In 1952, Washington, D.C., was the site of multiple UFO sightings, with objects tracked on radar and seen by numerous witnesses. The Air Ministry's public report claimed all incidents could be explained by known phenomena, but internal files revealed conflicting accounts.
The Rendlesham Forest incident in 1980, where U.S. Air Force personnel encountered a landed UFO, is another significant event. Colonel Charles Halt's official report described a metallic, triangular object that exhibited intelligent behavior. Despite the compelling evidence, the Ministry of Defense denied any defense significance.
The 1956 Bentwaters/Lakenheath incident, where UFOs were tracked on radar and seen by RAF personnel, and the 1980 London sighting, which Timothy Good personally witnessed, further bolster the case for UFOs. These incidents, among others, provide a wealth of evidence that challenges the official narrative of denial and obfuscation.
As more individuals come forward with their experiences and technology continues to advance, the evidence for UFOs becomes increasingly difficult to ignore. The truth, it seems, has a way of surfacing, and the cover-up may be more challenging to maintain.
