UFOs in Your Hometown Episode Seventeen

Welcome to the latest installment of the UFO investigative series, “UFOs in Your Hometown.” This series has its origin in challenge: name any town or city and I will find a UFO encounter there. I am now working my way down a list of more than 1000 locations, submitted by viewers, and so far, every single place has a history of UFO encounters. In this Episode Seventeen, we explore eight new locations from across the world. Have UFOs been seen in your hometown? Submit the town or city and I will look it up! But I can tell you already, the answer is almost certainly yes!

Barryton, Michigan is a small town of about 500 people. Despite its small size, it has several profound UFO encounters. In 1978, a police officer had a close-up sighting of a solid craft with portholes. A few months later, the local police station received several calls about UFOs, and the sheriff himself became a witness. A few other cases involve clearly anomalous lights. But another case from 2022 involves a very strangely shaped UFO.
The beautiful town of Smedjebacken, Sweden has about 5000 people and an incredible history of encounters. In 1968, a group of 15 boys (age 11-15) were hiking in the woods when they were approached by two humanoids. Only a few of the boys remember the encounter, and one became a major contactee. In 1973, two witnesses saw three UFOs sitting on the ground outside their home. A short distance away, there were other witnesses. In 1974 and 1976, there were two other incredible encounters.

Due to its large number of encounters, the London burrough of Wandsworth, in the UK, it has been given the nickname of UFO City. In 1986, a young athlete reports that a UFO hovered above him. He experienced a period of missing time and woke up on a bus. The UFO was still following him. There were more sightings in 1987 and 1992. In 2006, there was a mini wave of UFOs over the city, involving many witnesses. Even the MOD was unable to explain it. There was another sighting in 2008 which also had multiple witnesses.

Tuscaloosa, Alabama has a population of 110,000 people and so many amazing encounters. In 1950, dozens of people saw a flaming cross arc across the sky. In 1950, two Navy pilots tracking a skyhook weather balloon were amazed to see a half-dozen UFOs also investigating the balloon. In 1978, the chief operator of the Holt Lock and Dam on the Black Warrior River was one of many witnesses to a UFO which remained in view for several hours. In 1980, a college student was followed by a UFO to Tuscaloosa University. He was able to capture multiple photographs of the strange lights before they disappeared. In 1989, dozens of people including police and security guards in Tuscaloosa and beyond reported strange lights darting across the sky. In 1996 and 1999 there were sightings of solid metallic craft. In 2019, a young man was able to capture videotape of strange lights in the forest.

Buford, Georgia has a population of 20,000 people. One incredible encounter occurred in 1969 when a UFO zoomed mere feet above a car as it traveled down the highway. There are several other cases of solid disc-shaped craft including in 2001, 2010 and 2012. In 2013 witnesses observed a glowing red object surrounded by black helicopters.

Pottstown, Pennsylvania was founded in 1753. With 23,000 people, this town has several incredible encounters. In 1952, there were two cases investigated by Project Blue Book. In 1971, a woman had an alarming encounter with a UFO on a country road. A close encounter of the 2nd kind occurred to a man in 2004. Pottstown has a nuclear power plant, and several sightings, including one in 2000, another in 2011, and another in 2016 all occurred near the power plant.

Haddon Heights, New Jersey is a very small town, but it does have some interesting UFO cases. In 1984, two boys reported their sighting of a black pyramidal-shaped craft cruising down the street in full view. In 2002, two UFO researchers sighted what they believe to be a solid anomalous object right off the 295 Interstate.

Twinsburg, Ohio (population 20k) is most famous for hosting the annual festival of twins and multiple births. But it also has many amazing UFO encounters. In 1959, a man had a sighting there that inspired him to become a prominent UFO researcher. In 1966, a 6-year-old boy had a missing time encounter and later remembered he was not only taken onboard a craft, but perhaps to another planet. A wave of sighting on March 6, 1969 was widely viewed by residents and police officers, and two months later, resulted in an odd visit by what appears to be a gray-human hybrid at the local police station. 2009 and 2014 brought two more amazing encounters.

Eight locations across the planet, each showing a history of close encounters of the first, second, third and fourth kind, with many cases involving multiple witnesses and many forms of evidence. These cases show that UFOs are seen everywhere, and are far more common than most people think.
