AboutTimelines
The great moments of ufology, on the record.
UFO Timelines follows the history of ufology in order: the sightings that made headlines, the cases that defined the field, and the official and civilian investigations that tried to explain them, from Kenneth Arnold’s report in June 1947 to today’s hearings on “unidentified anomalous phenomena”.
How we tell it
We report what was documented and what was claimed, and we say which is which. Every claim is attributed to the person or body that made it. Official findings, witness testimony and later retellings are kept apart, and where a case is still disputed, we say so rather than settle it for you.
Part of the story is how the story was told: the newspaper headline, the radio bulletin, the documentary, the viral video. We follow that thread too.

Paper Trail, our weekly podcast, takes one case at a time down its paper trail.
