The U.S. military’s history of encounters with unidentified flying objects goes back to World War II. One of the first major UFO sightings came in 1942, when anti-aircraft batteries around Los Angeles opened fire at objects in the sky that they thought were Japanese aircraft. The Army determined later that a lost weather balloon had caused a false alarm.
American fighters have intercepted three unusual airborne objects over the past week. Here’s the rundown on these UFOs.

Since its founding in 1947, the U.S. Air Force has prided itself in being on the cutting edge of technology. Despite the stereotype of being a rear echelon military branch and the “Chair Force” nickname, the Air Force is absolutely a critical element of America’s war fighting capability. In fact, it was the first branch to adopt the famed M16 rifle before the Army or the Marines.
When you hear the term ghost army, sword-wielding zombies may come to mind. However, in this case, we’re talking about the creative young service members who built and operated military decoys during World War II.
Picture this! A German look-out stands atop a hill, pressing binoculars to his face. He spots eerie objects creeping through the tall grass at the edge of the horizon. There are 10 —no 20 of them, at least. More may be on the way! He runs to his Nazi commander and tells him the Americans are advancing in armored tanks.
The military may seem like the domain of men, but women veterans make up an important part of our history. In fact, women have served in every conflict since the Revolutionary War. And, this section of the military community is the fastest growing group of veterans. In the year 2000, women made up on just 4% of the veteran population. However, by 2018, the number had increased to 18%. In recent decades, the military community has blossomed with tons of service organizations dedicated to celebrating and advocating for women veterans and active-duty service members.
It’s highly unlikely that an astronaut would ever be engaged in combat during a spacewalk. American astronauts, Russian cosmonauts and Chinese taikonauts are scientists, engineers, and otherwise peaceful researchers who go into orbit for overwhelmingly positive reasons. But that doesn’t mean it will be that way forever.
The United States has already stepped up its Space Force. The Russians have had a space force for years. China has been secretly testing all kinds of new weapons in orbit, to an end we aren’t really sure about.
