Christopher Columbus Saw UFO In 1492
When the late Phil Schneider – an ex-US government engineer – toured America to tell people his story about being shot in the chest by a seven foot alien that was held against its will in an underground base at Area 51, it’s safe to say that a lot of people quite rightly doubted his testament. Schneider held up his half melted off fingers and pieces of dubious “alien metal” as proof. He was of course discredited, and to be fair if aliens have technology so advanced that they can travel light-years from their planet to ours, it’s unlikely our primitive weaponry would keep them under lock and key, even behind the mysterious boundaries of Area 51.
Due to extravagant E.T. tales like that of Phil Schneider and Meng Zhaoguo (the Chinese farmer who swears blind a 10 foot alien with braided leg hair landed in his field and shagged him), some of the most plausible alien encounter stories slip within the folds of obscurity. But actually a lot of them aren’t just LSD induced visions of the schizophrenic, and are in fact cases with hard evidence that deserve our attention.
Here are some of the most plausible alien encounters to date.
Christopher Columbus UFO Sighting
In 1492, as Christopher Columbus sailed across the sea on the Santa Maria in search of America, he witnessed an unidentified flying object zooming around the night’s sky. As he stood on deck, he saw “a light glimmering at a great distance”. He recorded in his captain’s log that it vanished and reappeared throughout the night, flying up, down, east and west “in sudden and passing gleams”. Columbus was around before the idea of UFOs even existed – it’s unlikely he decided to make this up. But could he have just seen a shooting star? Perhaps, but what kind of shooting star moves all around the night’s sky at high speed, vanishes, reappears and then disappears again into the sea? MOREHERE
