UFO Sightings - Fun in the Skies of "Merrie Olde England"

England has had as many UFO sightings as anyone else in the world.
One report that intrigued me were the sightings of August 13th and 14th of 1956.

At Royal Air Force Station Bentwaters 80 miles North of London, their radar picked up an extremely fast moving object at about 10:00 PM.
An object estimated to be moving at around 10,000 miles per hour.
Yes.
Ten thousand miles per hour.
That would be around Mach 13.

And the UFO was at only 2,000 feet!It was so low that it flashed underneath a Douglas C-47 Skytrain military transport that was in the air.

If that wasn’t bad enough, at 11:00 PM, the whole show started again.

This time at RAF Lakenheath, 50 some odd miles Northeast of Bentwaters, a de Havilland DH 112 Venom was on a routine practice interception drill when they were alerted to a UFO in the area.
The UFO was confirmed on radar and the Venom saw it on radar as well and set a course to intercept.

Closing in, the pilot radioed that he had his guns locked on it when the UFO shot away. 
Then suddenly, the UFO was behind the Venom.
According to ground radar the target circled behind the intercept.
The pilot tried for ten minutes to shake the UFO, but it easily matched every move.

The Venom was running low on gas so the pilot had no alternative but to head back to the base.
Interestingly, and as seems to be the case with a lot of UFOs, it followed him to within almost ten miles of the base and just stopped, hovering there.
A second Venom came into range at this point but oddly, developed engine problems as it closed in on the location and had to turn back.

The entire episode was watched from not one, but two different ground radar stations and the Venom’s own radar.

In 2008, the Discovery Channel show UFO Hunters had an epiosde called "Military vs. UFOs" that focused on RAF Bentwaters' 1956 and 1980 UFO incidents.
1980?
It happened again?
Yep...
Bentwaters is near the location of the infamous December 1980 UFO incident in Rendlesham Forest.

UFO Sightings - Atlas Rocket Intercept - 1964

This is one of those weird USAF reports with UFOs.
You have a report that was filed with the USAF claiming an event happened, the the USAF going back and claiming that not only did the event not even happen, but the person making the claim was never in the USAF.

In September, 1964 at Big Sur, California there was an an Atlas missile test launch that was filmed as is normal with a test.
The Officer In Charge was United States Air Force Lieutenant Robert Jacobs.
They filmed the test, the warhead malfunctioned during the test and failed.
No big deal.

What was a big deal was that later on the film was viewed and it showed a UFO zoom past the warhead and blast it with an energy beam, causing it to fail.
Now straight up, I have seen the video (and you will too), I do not see a UFO.
I see the warhead flare for a second, but I do not see a UFO.

That being said, evidently others saw it because Robert Jacobs was sworn to secrecy and told never to mention it again.

Well years later he did mention it and when he did, the USAF denied he was ever in the service.
Unfortunately records showed he was.
Then they denied he was there at the test.
Records showed he was.
Then they denied that test happened.
Records showed it did.

Anyway when those lame attempts failed, they tried to say what Jacobs saw was dummy targets ejected from the missile.

Heck, even Bill Nye the Science Guy, weighed in on it on Larry King, trying to debunk it.
By the way, you know the "Science Guy" has an Honorary Doctor of Science degree, his real training is as a mechanical engineer, like Howard on the Big Bang Theory.

Anyway, even though I saw nothing on the video myself, there seems to be enough there to get the USAF and the science community to give several different explanations to what happened there.
Though at first they denied anything happened at all.
