In 1952, the radar at Andrews Airforce base and Washington National Airport picked up UFOs and two US Air Force F-94 jets streaked over Washington, searching for flying saucers. A week later, it happened again - more UFOs on the radar screen, more jets scrambled over Washington.

In 1975, Swiss national Billy Meier claimed he had travelled on a beamship through space with extraterrestrial friends. He stated he had been in contact with these extraterrestrials telepathically since the age of five and that they allowed him to take photographs and videos of their spacecraft.
