US Recovered Mysterious UFO Orb During Missile Test, Revealed

An 'orb'
 UFO
 was shot out the sky and retrieved by the US Navy during a 1962 missile test, a former top aide to four US presidents revealed.


 Harald Malmgren was a senior advisor to John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford.


 The retired government official said he was briefed by top CIA and Atomic Energy Commission officials on a videotaped missile test that took place during the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962, during which the shocking UFO incident occurred.


 Malmgren's daughter, economist Dr. Pippa Malmgren, herself a former Special Assistant to President George W. Bush, revealed the details of her father's story on her
 blog last week
 , after the veteran presidential aide passed away on February 13 aged 89.


 She said before his death, her father had recently decided to tell his full story 'for the sake of history'.


 Harald described a video of a missile test launch from October 25, 1962, in which a mysterious 'white orb' can be seen flying in circles around the rocket as it speeds through the air.


 The missile was equipped with what Pippa described as 'an X-ray machine in the nosecone', designed to use radiation to disable an incoming enemy nuclear missile.


 But the test missile's intense X-ray burst appeared to disable the UFO too.

 'The X-rays knocked it out of the sky. The US Navy retrieved the orb out of the ocean,' Pippa wrote in her March 18 blog post, recounting her father's story.


 And it wasn't the first time an orb had been spotted chasing a US missile, according to Harald.


 'We called them 'tagalongs,' Harald said, according to the blog post. 'We knocked a "tagalong" out of the sky.'


 Pippa said her father was briefed on the incident because he was in charge of the budget for the missile testing program, as a top White House and Pentagon official.


 'Before my father recently passed away, he went on record explaining what he knew about all this because he felt it was important for the sake of history,' she said.


 Harald, who was active on social media site X even in his final months, alluded to the incident
 in a tweet last August
 .


 '60+ years ago I was provided highest level classifications to lead DOD [Department of Defense] work on nuclear weapons and antimissile defense,' he wrote.


 'Informally briefed on "otherworld technologies" by CIA's Richard Bissell (who had been in charge of Skunkworks, Area 51, Los Alamos, etc.) but sworn to secrecy.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BzuAg" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BzuAg.jpg"/>

 'Bissell briefed me off the record after his resignation as CIA Deputy Director Special Ops.


 'He felt I needed a heads up in case the subject ever came up in my meetings with Presidents or others. I swore secrecy to him, not under any law.'


 Pippa wrote on her blog that her father told her he was also briefed in 1963 by the then-regional chief of the Atomic Energy Commission, Lawrence Preston Gise.


 Gise also happens to be the grandfather of Jeff Bezos, Billionaire founder of Amazon and space travel company Blue Origin.


 It was at that meeting, Malmgren claimed, that he got his hands on a piece of the alleged 'otherworldly' craft – and had an out-of-this-world experience.


 'He flew out to Albuquerque to be briefed,' Pippa wrote, adding Gise 'apparently received materials from the crashed craft.'


 'He kept them on his desk, handed them to my Dad, and then asked him to describe how he felt. Dad said a voice began talking to him inside his head. That's all Gise wanted to know.


 'Dad never recalled or would not say what that voice said. Apparently, he said, some people interact with the materials, and others don't. This led to briefings at Los Alamos and an invitation from Richard Bissell.'

 Harald told his daughter that then-President JFK and Vice President Johnson received their own raft of 'highly classified briefings' about the incident on December 7, 1962, at Strategic Air Command Headquarters in Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska, the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, Kirtland AFB, and Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque.


 She claims it was this incident that spurred JFK's historic de-escalation talks with Soviet Union leader Nikita Khrushchev.


 'The reason JFK reached out to Khrushchev and commenced arms limitation talks was because he was made aware by America's top government scientists that UAPs [Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena] were appearing and even being brought down in Anti Ballistic Missile tests,' Pippa wrote.


 'Specifically, JFK was briefed in three locations on December 7th 1962, including at Los Alamos, about a missile test called Operation BlueGill Triple Prime and became aware that this test brought a UAP down and confirmed that we are not alone in this universe.


 'My father confirmed to me and others that we learned something from the UFO crashes,' the former White House adviser wrote.


 'He said we learned that these strange craft were susceptible to X-rays. That was another reason we were testing X-rays at high latitudes.'


 The extraordinary story is partially backed up by government records, dug out by former Australian intelligence official-turned UFO researcher Geoff Cruickshank, and published last December on UFO news site
 Liberation Times
 .


 Cruickshank noted a Cold War experimental warhead, the XW-50-X1, which was 'built to emit high-energy X-rays, designed to disable missile re-entry vehicles by causing intense heat and internal damage,' which fits Harald's description.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BzDGa" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BzDGa.jpg"/>

 Cruickshank also pointed to
 now-declassified videos
 showing an October 26, 1962 high-altitude test explosion of a nuclear bomb over the Pacific Ocean near Johnston Island.


 An apparent object can be seen tumbling out of the nuclear fireball in the footage.


 He wrote that a later version of the video was redacted by officials at Los Alamos lab with a white triangle obscuring the region where the falling object appeared.


 Two weeks earlier, on September 19, 1962, another UFO was filmed traveling at 18 times the speed of sound following an Avco Mark 4 missile for 90 seconds as it descended through the sky after a launch from the Atlantic Missile Range off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida.


 An index card with the video records it as a 'UFO sighting'.


 'Shows missile in flight, then breaking up, camera holding on nose cone, with smaller object in flight above and behind nose cone on parallel path,' the card says.


 Following the October 1962 BlueGill test, Navy ships were sent to retrieve debris.


 Cruickshank reported that deck logs preserved by the National Archives say some of this debris was 'anomalous'.


 Logs from two accompanying ships, the USS Engage and USS John S. McCain, recorded picking up an 'experimental pod', as well as a 'black ball in [the] water' and a 'green tube'.


 The logs said the tube had a radiation measurement of 60 mR (milli-Roentgen) from a distance of one foot, which is a safe but elevated level suggesting it had been near a nuclear event.


 According to records from various vessels, the team aboard the USNS Point Barrow noted exceptionally elevated radiation readings following their retrieval operation.


 However, Point Barrow's logbooks themselves are oddly absent from the archives, according to Cruickshank’s account.

New Map Uncovers Top U.S. States for Spotting Aliens

The truth is out there, and the numbers show exactly where.
 
 
 New data from the National UFO Reporting Center has revealed exactly where you're most likely to see a UFO in the sky.
 
 
 The analysis examined 149,000 sighting entries from the Reporting Center's database, along with social media reports to determine how many encounters are experienced per capita in each state.
 
 
 Coming in first, Californians have recorded a staggering 36,286 reported UFO sightings since 1974.
 
 
 This makes it officially America's alien hotspot with one sighting for every 1,075 residents.
 
 
 California's clear night skies and dense population have created perfect conditions for UFO sightings.
 
 
 In fact, just last month, the harrowing call a US Air Force pilot made to air traffic control was released after they described 'three orange-like lights' hovering silently above Los Angeles.
 
 
 The unknown craft came as close as 10 feet of the pilot's wing, reaching supersonic speeds, as the US Air Force craft was conducting a secret mission over
 California
 .
 
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BrBYc" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BrBYc.jpg"/>


 
 The pilot, who identified as 'Troy 21,' told local air traffic control (ATC) in
 Los Angeles
 : 'This is going to sound weird, but I just had something pass underneath my wing, maybe a football-sized object right underneath my wing.'
 
 
 During the September 17, 2024, incident, ATC can be heard asking Troy 21 if he thought it was a drone, but the stunned pilot couldn't give an answer.
 
 
 Troy 21 replied that his sensor operator was looking for the UFO on the plane's cameras, adding that it was a 'dark gray cylindrical object' no bigger than a football.
 
 
 The pilot quickly informed ATC that they had spotted the UFO again about 60 miles from where it first buzzed Troy 21's plane.
 
 
 Later in the recording, another air traffic controller in Los Angeles could be heard on the radio dismissing the incident, saying that 'there was UFO reported here, but that's all taken care of now. So you don't have to worry about it... it's gone.'
 
 
 Former
 FBI
 agent Ben Hansen told NewsNation the mysterious object must have be traveling at Mach 2, or twice the speed of sound, to get so far away so fast.
 
 
 The state to come in second in terms of the appearance Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) was Washington.
 
 
 The Pacific Northwest has long attracted those seeking the unexplained, with Washington recording 7,125 UFO sightings.
 
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BrLb9" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BrLb9.jpg"/>
 
 That's approximately one for every 1,093 residents.
 
 
 From 1948 to 1952, as America's production of atomic weapons first ramped up,
 waves of UFO sightings
 began cropping up over Washington state's Hanford nuclear production complex, as well as Los Alamos, New Mexico, and other sites for the Manhattan Project.
 
 
 Meanwhile, Florida was ranked third with more than 11,000 reported encounters.
 
 
 That's roughly one sighting for every 1,144 Floridians.
 
 
 As recently as this past December, a flight attendant flying off the coast of the Sunshine State managed to capture a
 enigmatic round thing floating over the aircraft
 She was busy with her work, high up over the Bahamas.
 
 
 On December 23, Cassandra Martin, who works as a flight attendant for the exclusive air service Surjet, was aboard an empty aircraft with two pilots. They received notification from Miami air traffic control about a 'foreign object' while returning to Fort Lauderdale.
 
 
 The spooky video displayed a round fuzzy patch of white light transitioning into green tones, encircled by a ring of glow.
 
 
 Placing fourth is Oregon, where there was one reported UFO sighting for every 1,156 inhabitants.
 
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BrEzm" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BrEzm.jpg"/>
 
 Much like what happened recently in California, several pilots have come forward with reports.
 noticing strange glows zipping across the heavens
 over
 Oregon
 in December.
 
 
 An air ambulance pilot reported observing a brilliant beam of light moving swiftly towards his aircraft on the night of December 7. The light suddenly changed direction, making a sharp turn away from them and returning over the Pacific Ocean.
 
 
 'Coloured red — travelling at incredibly high velocities. I’m not sure how to convey just how quick it was going,' the pilot reported to air-traffic control.
 
 
 The following evening, a United Airlines pilot similarly observed strange luminous phenomena over the Eugene region.
 
 
 "We've got three or four targets spotted. They’re moving up and down at different altitudes. This is quite wild," the pilot informed air traffic control, with controllers confirming there was no military action in the vicinity.
 
 
 The helicopter emergency medical services pilot also observed an illuminated object tracing a 'helical path' as shown on the aircraft’s collision prevention technology.
 
 
 'You are cleared to maneuver as necessary - left or right to avoid the
 UFO
 out there,' an air-traffic controller responded, according to an audio clip of the exchange
 
 
 Short video clips taken by pilots and crew showed lights in the night sky, but the dark conditions made it difficult to discern specific details.

 Meanwhile, New York rounds out the top five with one sighting per 1,301 people.
 
 
 In November, a
 mysterious orb-like object was spotted
 over
 New York City
 's Hudson River in a news broadcast, sparking wild conspiracies.
 
 
 A dazzling object appeared to zip into view within the frame of the city’s renowned skyline.
 
 
 The footage, taken from a helicopter, showed a
 quickly moving sphere of illumination beginning in Hoboken
 ,
 New Jersey
 and swooping around toward the World Trade Center where it vanished.
 
 
 Experts have suggested the 'orb' was either an optical artifact from the helicopter glass in front of the camera or an out-of-focus bird.
 
 
 But the sighting has led some New Yorkers to question if '
 aliens
 are among us' - as it came less than a week after a
 Pentagon
 report that highlighted a
 a near-miss between a commercial airliner and a mysterious object
 off the coast of the city.
 
 
 
 Harvard physicist, Avi Loeb,
 wrote
 that the mysterious orb was created by
 
 '
 
 
 a bright spot from reflection of sunlight as the camera gradually changed its orientation relative to the sun and the ground.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Loeb continued to explain that if the orb was a real object, it would have been moving at the speed of sound, not anything extraordinary.
 
 
 
 <img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BrNxQ" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BrNxQ.jpg"/>
 
 Those hoping to avoid extraterrestrial encounters should consider staying in Louisiana, where residents experience the fewest UFO encounters nationwide - just one sighting for every 3,815 people.
 
 
 Even safer is North Dakota, which recorded only 282 total sightings - approximately 0.0004 per capita - making it statistically the state where you are least likely to have an encounter of the third kind.
