Welcome to Aerial Phenomena
We are not a UFO Club. We are a team of trained UFO investigators dedicated to conducting investigations, research and analysis regarding unidentified flying objects (UFO) and other aerial phenomena. Our mission is to conduct a systematic search for facts to determine whether or not a UFO sighting can be first attributed to a man-made object, natural phenomena, or perhaps extraterrestrial in nature. We accomplish this by conducting aggressive investigative research analysis; and by assimilating, evaluating, and interpreting aerial phenomena reporting. Throughout every investigation, information derived from all credible sources are considered and integrated into our analytical process. If you would like to report a sighting, please use the Report a UFO link.

UFO Report: Husband and I were outside watching the stars , like always. We noticed a bright object coming towards us. It was bright white with some yellow with it. It was flying very low below the clouds. My husband had our camera with him and took a picture. The first two pictures would not take. The third and fourth pictures took. It was very quiet, no noise and flying slowly in front and above us then turned towards the east. It looked like it was surveying the area. We have seen this object a few times before starting way back as far as 2010. We were finally able to get a picture of it. On the camera it looks like a bright white object. If you enlarge the picture , you can see the actual shape of the object. Looks just like the ones we have seen on TV. Looks like a flying saucer with the rounded top and slightly rounded on the bottom. As you enlarge the photo you can see the different colors. White with a touch of yellow and some amber. I’am sending the best photo of the object . The object also had a black round area around it. Maybe like, an energy field. See attached photo: The photo file size was compressed. If you’d like the original file, email me, and I’ll send it to you.

13-104-CE1 (San Agustin, NM)
Synopsis: On March 8, 2013, API received a package from a witness in New Mexico containing material samples from an alleged disk of extraterrestrial origin that crashed near Horse Springs, NM, on July, 2, 1947. Soon after, another witness, who originally discovered the crash site in the 1990’s, forwarded API additional documents regarding the crash, including topographic maps of the alleged crash site; and a photo of a strange symbol sketched on an aluminum beam that was also found at the site of the alleged crash. After completing an exhaustive investigation of the so-called Plains of San Agustin UFO Crash, we found no physical proof, beyond a reasonable doubt, that a craft of extraterrestrial origin crashed at Horse Springs, NM – but rather, we found evidence that a North American AT-6 Texan did.
