You may have heard of the Tic Tac UFO encounter or the Gimbal and Go Fast videos.
But years before these now-world-famous craft sightings went mainstream, a little-known research group was analyzing them over and over again.
MUFON – the Mutual UFO Network – has 700 investigators in the U.S. and has been collecting evidence of strange encounters since the 1960s.
One of its top analysts, Bob Spearing, told DailyMail.com ‘Our slogan is, ‘Doing the Air Force’s job since 1969′.’ MUFON now has 137,000 reports of UFO encounters in its files.
Searing is today revealing the strangest cases which he believes could be the catalyst for further government investigations and congressional hearings.
Flying squids
The idea of ‘Jellyfish’ UFOs rocketed into the public consciousness thanks to a video on an Iraqi military base, released by journalist Jeremy Corbell.
MUFON debunked that video, which Spearing describes as having ‘so many flaws’ – but looked in its archive to find others.
‘What we found was startling,’ said Spearing – there were dozens of similar cases, both of larger squid-like craft – and smaller floating squid, some of which seemed to ‘suck the life-force’ from victims.
‘We found a lot of drawings and photographs starting from Denmark in the 70s of these giant cloud-like mushrooms, and it goes right up until today – but then we also discovered that there’s also a phenomenon of indoor jellyfish.
One strange encounter in Singapore found sleeping women attacked by floating objects with bioluminescent tentacles.
