Before the Aurora Era
One of the first claimed photographs of a UFO, in reality a cropped image of an elaborate frost formation USA, 1870.
In 1880, an amateur scientist, John Rand Capron, wrote a letter to the editor of journal Nature about some circles in crops and blamed them on a recent storm, saying their shape was "suggestive of some cyclonic wind action. It has been suggested that crop circles may be the result of extraordinary meteorological phenomena ranging from freak tornadoes to ball lightning, but there is no evidence of any crop circle being created by any of these causes.

THE AURORA ERA 1890's
Clumsy balloon flights had been made in Europe as far back as 1852 and by mid 1897 at least two airship patents had been awarded to American inventors, but it wasn't until 1900 that the first successful Zeppelin dirigible flight took place in Germany. Like today's UFOs, balloons and dirigibles had long featured in popular fictions of the time such (also 50 years before) as Jules Verne's "A Voyage in a Balloon in 1851. Mystery airships or phantom airships are a class of unidentified flying objects best known from a series of newspaper reports originating in the western United States and spreading east during late 1896 and early 1897.
Mystery airship illustrated in the San Francisco Call, November 1896
According to researcher Jerome Clark, airship sightings were reported worldwide during the 1880s and 1890s. Mystery airship reports are seen as a cultural predecessor to modern claims of extraterrestrial-piloted flying saucer-style UFOs. Typical airship reports involved night time sightings of unidentified lights, but more detailed accounts reported ships comparable to a dirigible.
The Aurora, Texas, UFO incident reportedly occurred on April 17, 1897, when, according to locals, a UFO crashed on a farm near Aurora, Texas, United States. The incident similar to the more famous Roswell UFO incident is claimed to have resulted in a fatality of the pilot. The pilot was "not of this world" and was said to be an alien. The pilot was buried at the Aurora cemetery. A stone was placed as a marker for the grave, but has since been removed.
Also in April 1897, Jon Halley and Adolf Wenke of Springfield, Illinois, reported a flying craft of a similar type whose "pilot" told them that it was a new invention flown at night to attract less attention. The pilot stated he had left Quincy, 100 miles to the west, only 30 minutes earlier - an impossibility for an aerial object of the time. Similar objects were reported in Indiana, where a crew were making-on-the spot repairs. The pilot was tracked down by the press in Martinville, where he made the statement that he had an airship in Brown County undergoing repairs and three machines flying in central states of the US. While many reports of the time are undoubtedly hoaxes dreamed up by local newspaper editors to increase circulation, there remain some tantalizing unexplained facts. Also in April 1897, for more than 30 minutes, a huge airship was witnessed by jurors, judges and lawyers who had gathered outside the courthouse in Harrison, Nebraska. It had a bright white light and coloured lights around it, and was oval shaped with a box-like structure hanging from it and a propeller at the stern. To this day, though well documented, there has been no explanation for the sights observed.
1940's Roswell ERA 50 years later after AURORA ERA
Early sighting's from the 40's come from September 1941 in the Indian Ocean was similar to some later foo fighter reports. From the deck of the S.S. Pułaski (a Polish merchant vessel transporting British troops), two sailors reported a "strange globe glowing with greenish light, about half the size of the full moon as it appears to us." They alerted a British officer, who watched the movements of the object with them for over an hour. Types of flying discs were designed and studied in Germany and Italy as early as 1942.
Ben Rich and "Kelly" Johnson set the origin for Skunk Works as June 1943 in Burbank, California. They relate essentially the same chronology in their autobiographies. The Air Tactical Service Command (ATSC) of the Army Air Force met with Lockheed Aircraft Corporation to express its need for a jet fighter. A rapidly growing German jet threat gave Lockheed an opportunity to develop an airframe around the most powerful jet engine that the allied forces had access to, the British Goblin. Lockheed was chosen to develop the jet because of its past interest in jet development and its previous contracts with the Air Force. One month after the ATSC and Lockheed meeting, the young engineer Clarence L. “Kelly” Johnson and other associate engineers hand delivered the initial XP-80 proposal to the ATSC. Two days later the go-ahead was given to Lockheed to start development and the Skunk Works was born, with Kelly Johnson at the helm. The formal contract for the XP-80 did not arrive at Lockheed until October 16, 1943; some four months after work had already begun. This would prove to be a common practice within the Skunk Works. Many times a customer would come to the Skunk Works with a request and on a handshake the project would begin, no contracts in place, no official submittal process. Kelly Johnson and his Skunk Works team designed and built the XP-80 in only 143 days, seven fewer than was required.
Near Breisach, Germany, a pilot from 415th Night Fighter Squadron was flying at approximately 800 feet when he saw “5 or 6 flashing red and green lights in ’T’ shape.” The lights seemed to follow him, closing in “to about 8 o’clock and 1,000 ft.” before disappearing as inexplicably as they came on of the earliest sightings recorded by US Military. Two more flight crews sighted lights. One crew, near Hagenau, reported two lights in a large orange glow, seeming to rise from the earth to 10,000 feet like a UFO, tailing the fighter “for approximately two minutes.” After that, the lights, “peel off and turn away, fly along level for a few minutes and then go out. They appear to be under perfect control at all times A disk developed by Rudolf Schriever and Klaus Habermohl at Prague, which consisted of a ring of moving turbine blades around a fixed cockpit. Klein claimed that he had witnessed this craft's first manned flight on 14 February 1945, when it managed to climb to 12,400 m or 40,700 ft in 3 minutes and attained a speed of 2,200 km/h (1,400 mph) in level flight. The Iron cross is not a nazi symbol, It is still used today by the German and Swedish military's. The Iron cross is the symbol of Weltraumflug Industries. Somewhere around the same time The Nazi bell Die Glocke was later identified as not a real project.
In 1947 Harold A. Dahl reported that his dog was killed and his son was injured by debris in an encounter with four to six flying doughnut-shaped objects. He also claimed that a witness was subsequently threatened by the Men in Black. The case was first reported to Kenneth Arnold in mid-July, about three weeks after it allegedly took place. There was the Kenneth Arnold UFO sighting in Washington, United States was a UFO sighting that sparked the name flying saucers. This sighting is considered as the start of the "Modern UFO era". Then Several UFO sightings reported in the area in Washington. The most famous Roswell Incident about 30 mi north of Roswell, New Mexico the United States Army Air Forces announced the capture of a flying saucer. Hours later, the Army announced the find was a crashed weather balloon and years later Army Officer Jesse Marcel told UFO researchers the weather balloon explanation was a cover story.
In 1948 Project Sign also known as Project Saucer was an official U.S. government study of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) undertaken by the United States Air Force (USAF) and active for most of 1948. It was the precursor to Project Grudge. Many thing's happened in 1948 including these incredible eyewitnesses. Earliest records show people see these Green Fireballs in the United States at first. Then Objects were reported over several United States military bases as an official investigation followed. Thomas Mantell in Kentucky United States US Air Force sent a fighter pilot to investigate a UFO sighting over Fort Knox, Kentucky and his aircraft crashed then the pilot was killed while pursuing the UFO. In Aztec, New Mexico, a UFO incident was an alleged retrieval of a grounded UFO and its occupants from a plateau in New Mexico. Chiles-Whitted also reported an UFO encounter in Alabama. Also a few commercial pilots reported that their airplane had nearly collided with a UFO in a few places. In North Dakota a US Air Force pilot sighted and pursued a UFO for 27 minutes over Fargo. In 1949, the U.S. Air Force publicly released a paper prepared by the Intelligence Division of the Air Materiel Command at Wright-Patterson Field, Ohio. The paper stated that while some UFOs appeared to represent actual aircraft, there was not enough data to determine their origin. Later UFO sightings appear as early as 1950 Nazi Germany.

1990's SKUNKWORKS ERA 50 years after the Roswell ERA.
A colonel working in the Pentagon arbitrarily assigned the name Aurora to the funding for the B-2 bomber design competition and somehow the name was leaked to the media. The Aurora legend started in March 1990, when Aviation Week & Space Technology magazine broke the news that the term had been inadvertently included in the 1985 U.S. budget, as an allocation of $455 million for black aircraft production in FY 1987. According to Aviation Week, Project Aurora referred to a group of exotic aircraft, and not to one particular airframe. Funding of the project allegedly reached $2.3 billion in fiscal 1987, according to a 1986 procurement document obtained by Aviation Week. In the 1994 book Skunk Works, Ben Rich, the former head of Lockheed's Skunk Works division, wrote that the Aurora was the budgetary code name for the stealth bomber fly-off that resulted in the B-2 Spirit.

Circles in the United Kingdom are not distributed randomly across the landscape but appear near roads, areas of medium to dense population and cultural heritage monuments, such as Stonehenge or Avebury. In 1991, two hoaxers, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, took credit for having created many circles throughout England after one of their circles was described by an investigator as impossible for human beings to make.
In the 1990s early reports of a Belgian UFO wave of large number of silent, low-flying black triangles, allegedly investigated by Belgium's military. There was a Ruwa UFO incident in Zimbabwe where 62 children between the ages of six and twelve claimed that they saw one or more craft land in a field near their school. One or more beings dressed all in black then exited the craft and approached the children. They then telepathically communicated to them a message with an environmental theme before re-entering the craft and flying away. The Varginha UFO incident was where Brazilian Armed Forces allegedly captured extraterrestrial being after an UFO crash. The Brazilian government has officially denied these claims. According to a military inquest, a local man with disabilities was mistaken for an alien. Also in Brazil in Pelotas a Pilot observes a UFO emerge from a mother craft. The Phoenix Lights in Arizona had Lights and craft of varying descriptions, most notably a V-shaped pattern, were seen by thousands of people between 19:30 and 22:30 MST, in a space of about 300 miles, from the Nevada line, through Phoenix, to the edge of Tucson, later identified as flares being dropped during military training flights.
What happens for UFO research future in 2047 if the pattern is right?
Many people believe A.I. is a more dangerous concern than aliens invading our lives. but if we witness this 50 year pattern, it soon show's us that in 50 year's Human intelligence is just as good if not better than A.I. or Aliens because where is the data located anyways? We've went from balloon's to outer space travel in less than 50 years and completely rewrote our physic's and science and almost everything so who knows what we can do next we could be working with A.I. and aliens by then! Cheers!

1950 CORONA SPY FILES
The first CORONA satellites were cloaked with disinformation as being part of a space technology development program called Discoverer it was part of the WS-117L satellite reconnaissance and protection program of the U.S. Air Force in 1956. The WS-117L was based on recommendations and designs from the RAND Corporation. The primary goal of the program was to develop a film-return photographic satellite to replace the U-2 spyplane in surveilling the Sino-Soviet Bloc, determining the disposition and speed of production of Soviet missiles and long-range bombers assets. The CORONA program was also used to produce maps and charts for the Department of Defense and other U.S. government mapping programs. The CORONA project was pushed forward rapidly following the shooting down of a U-2 spy plane over the Soviet Union on 1 May 1960. CORONA ultimately encompassed eight separate but overlapping series of satellites (dubbed "Keyhole" or KH), launched from 1959 to 1972.: 231 CORONA was complemented and ultimately succeeded by the higher resolution KH-7 Gambit and KH-8 Gambit 3 series of satellites. An alternative concurrent program to the CORONA program was SAMOS. That program included several types of satellite which used a different photographic method. This involved capturing an image on photographic film, developing the film aboard the satellite and then scanning the image electronically. The image was then transmitted via telemetry to ground stations. The Samos E-1 and Samos E-2 satellite programs used this system, but they were not able to take very many pictures and then relay them to the ground stations each day. Two later versions of the Samos program, such as the E-5 and the E-6, used the bucket-return approach pioneered with CORONA, but neither of the latter Samos series were successful. The CORONA satellites were designated KH-1, KH-2, KH-3, KH-4, KH-4A and KH-4B. KH stood for "Key Hole" or "Keyhole" (Code number 1010), with the name being an analogy to the act of spying into a person's room by peering through their door's keyhole. The incrementing number indicated changes in the surveillance instrumentation, such as the change from single-panoramic to double-panoramic cameras. The "KH" naming system was first used in 1962 with KH-4, the earlier numbers being applied retroactively. There were 144 CORONA satellites launched, of which 102 returned usable photographs.

UFO's in BCE
1440 BCE Fiery disks over Lower Egypt. According to the disputed Tulli Papyrus, the scribes of the pharaoh Thutmose III reported that "fiery disks" were encountered floating over the skies. The Condon Committee disputed the legitimacy of the Tulli Papyrus stating, "Tulli was taken in and that the papyrus is a fake. 218 BCE Airships in the sky in Rome, Italy Livy records a number of portents in the winter of this year, including navium speciem de caelo adfulsisse ("phantom ships had been seen gleaming in the sky"). Livy's Ab Urbe Condita Libri. 76 BCE A spark from a falling star in Roman Republic According to Pliny the Elder, a spark fell from a star and grew as it descended until it appeared to be the size of the Moon. It then ascended back up to the heavens and was transformed into a light. 74 BCE A flame-like pithoi from the sky in Phrygia, Asia According to Plutarch, a Roman army commanded by Lucullus was about to begin a battle with Mithridates VI of Pontus when "all on a sudden, the sky burst asunder, and a huge, flame-like body was seen to fall between the two armies. In shape, it was most like a wine-jar, and in color, like molten silver." Plutarch reports the shape of the object as like a wine-jar (pithos). The apparently silvery object was reported by both armies. 196 CE Some form of angel hair in Rome a Historian Cassius Dio described "A fine rain resembling silver descended from a clear sky upon the Forum of Augustus." He used some of the material to plate some of his bronze coins, but by the fourth day afterwards the silvery coating was gone.
1500's-1880's
1561 This celestial phenomenon over Nuremberg Holy Roman Empire the Residents of Nuremberg saw what they described as an aerial battle, followed by the appearance of a large black triangular object and then a large crash outside of the city. The broadsheet claims that witnesses observed hundreds of spheres, cylinders and other odd-shaped objects that moved erratically overhead. 1566 A celestial phenomenon over Basel Switzerland. A broadsheet published in 1566 depicted numerous spherical objects appearing out of the sun. This event is depicted in a 16th-century woodcut by Samuel Coccius (Samuel Koch) and Samuel Apiarius.
1609 Gwanghaegun period a UFO Turmoil in Korea multiple witnesses reported seeing UFOs, It looks like a Halo or washbowl and is divided into two.
1668 Levoča Chronicles (Present-day Slovakia) The first mention of UFOs in Slovakia is from 1668 from the Levoča town's Chronicles, where the chronicler describes a silver lizard flying in the sky.
1803 Utsuro-bune at Haratono-hama in Japan local fishermen reportedly saw a vessel drifting in close by waters. They say when they investigated it, "a beautiful young woman" they described as having red and white hair and dressed in strange clothes appeared. The fishermen claim she held a square box "that no one was allowed to touch" and she spoke to them in a language they never heard before. Some UFO believers think this story was a credible document of a close encounter of the third kind in Japan. Historians and Ethnologists consider it folklore. 1883 José Bonilla Observation in Zacatecas Mexico the astronomer José Bonilla reported that he saw more than 300 dark, unidentified objects crossing the sun disk while observing sunspot activity at Zacatecas Observatory in Mexico. He was able to take several photographs, exposing wet plates at 1/100 second. It was subsequently determined that the objects were high-flying geese.
