UFOs in the Vietnam War
UFOs in the Vietnam War were reported by various individuals during and after the conflict, with some incidents involving claims of direct UFO interaction. These accounts, including those from former U.S. Navy serviceman Milton William Cooper, describe unidentified flying objects exhibiting advanced capabilities and engaging with military forces.
History[edit | edit source]
During the Vietnam War, reports of UFO activity were often accompanied by rumors and speculation. Cooper, a naval officer stationed in the DMZ, recounted multiple incidents involving UFOs. According to his accounts, entire villages reportedly disappeared after UFOs were seen hovering above them, and both American and enemy forces allegedly fired on the UFOs, which retaliated with mysterious blue lights. Cooper also described rumors of UFOs abducting and mutilating two soldiers before their bodies were returned to the scene. These incidents highlight the overlap between UFO reports and the psychological and physical stresses of war. While Cooper’s claims are debated, they remain notable in the lore surrounding UFO sightings during the Vietnam War.
