The unlsolved mystery of Thomas Mantell UFO case

-

On January 7th,  1948 at 1:45 P. M.  Calls had been coming in to the Godman Air Force Base in Kentucky from nearby Fort Knox about a UFO, Sargent Quinton Blackwell,  chief operator at the Godman control tower,  had just spotted an object himself.  Later he recalled that it resembled " an ice cream cone topped with red" .  The tower crew called the operations officer,  Captain Gary Carter,  and pointed the object out to him. Carter,  in turn,  called Colonel Guy Hix,  the commanding officer.

Four P-51 Mustangs of C Flight,  165th Fighter Squadron Kentucky Air National Guard already in the air  -  one piloted by Mantell  - were told to approach the object.  Blackwell was in radio communication with the pilots throughout the event.

One pilot's Mustang was low on fuel and he quickly abandoned his efforts.  Air Force Captain Edward J. Ruppelt notes that there was some disagreement among the air traffic controllers as to Mantell's words as he communicated with the tower,  some sources described an object "looks metallic and of tremendous size" .
But the other two pilots reported they saw an object but described it as so small and indistinct they  could not identify it.
Further messages from the pilot were garbled and shortly afterward all contact was lost.  At 3:50 PM the Godman tower lost sight of the UFO,  too.
At about 5 PM the remains of Mantell's plane was found scattered across a farm.

The Air Force investigation determined that Mantell had probably lost consciousness,  due to lack of oxygen when his plane hit 25,000 feet.  The aircraft may have continued to climb till it reached 30,000 feet,  it's limit,  then nosedived.  As it raced towards the ground Mantell may have recovered his senses and tried to pull up, but it was too late.  The forces of the dive were too high and the plane came apart while still in the air.

The Mantell crash was investigated by Project Sign,  the first Air Force Reaserch group assigned to investigate UFO reports.
Captain Thomas Mantell Jr.  was a United States Air Force serviceman and a world War 2 veteran. Mantell was an experienced pilot,  his fight history consisted of 2,167 hours in the air and had been honored for his part in the Battle of Normandy during World War 2nd .

Some UFO researchers said that  he had been shot down by magnetic rays or killed by aliens,  or fallen victim to the extreme radiation emanating from the UFO.
But Mantell's UFO encounter is still listed as undetermined by the US Air Force.
What really happened at 25000 feet is something we'll never know -  Mantell took the events of his last minutes to his grave.
The government explained to the media that it was a weather balloon but I don't think that it was a balloon because Mantell was an Air Force pilot and he knew the technology.

The first alien abduction story :Antonio Villas Boas Abduction

-

Antonio Vilas Boas  was a Brazilian lawyer who claimed to have been abducted by aliens in 1957.  It was the first alien abduction story to receive wide attention. It also stands as a well documented "physical"  case with doctors examining the effects after his encounters. When Boas was 23 year old,  he was a farmer.  He worked at night to avoid the hot temperatures of the day.  On October 16, 1957, he was ploughing fields near "Sao Francisco de Sales"  when he saw a red star in the night sky. This star approached his position,  growing in size until it became recognizable as a roughly circular or egg shaped UFO. Boas decided to run from the scene but he was seized by 1.5 meter tall humanoids who were wearing grey coveralls and helmet. Their eyes were small and blue and they made noises like barks or yelp instead of speech. They dragged Boas inside their craft. Boas said that he was stripped of his clothes and covered from a head to toe with a strange gel

Forty three percent of all reported alien encounters in the United States describe Gray  Aliens. Gray aliens are extraterrestrial beings whose existence is discussed in ufological,  paranormal and New Age communities and who are named for their unique skin color. A video has been circulating on social networking sites. An unseen interrogater takes interviews of gray alien in a dark room.  Several YouTube channels and people who posted the video,  claimed that it was the part of Project Blue Book and it was filmed in 1964 with the name of "EBE-3". The gray alien interview has been divided into three parts. In the first part,  gray alien told the investigator that he is also from earth and he came here from the future.  He also talked about Nuclear war,  time traveling and the creation of universe.

The real UFO sighting case : 1952 Washington National Sightings

It's not coincidence that so many people who encounter UFOs also really want to believe in them. However,  buried deep within the U.S. military's own records are some very bizarre, and very well -  documented sightings that have to give even a skeptic second thoughts.  Arey they aliens ???  We are not saying that.  But this case will blow your mind and make you believe on aliens. It was July 19/20,  1952,  the scene was the Air Traffic Control Center at Washington National Airport,  Washington,  D.C. at 11:00 PM eight traffic experts,  headed by senior controller Harry G.  Barnes,  entered the radar room and took over the 8-hour shift. The night was clear. Traffic was light.  They were tracking an airliner a few miles from the airport. Every ten seconds the sweep painted the airliner's new position,  so that there were seven "blips"  on the screen before the first one faded.  Recognising the targets and where they were,  and what they were doing was what t
