Japanese fighter planes weren't all that filled the Pacific sky on the morning of December 7, 1941. An entire fleet of UFOs watched the attack on Pearl Harbor!
That's the astonishing revelation of Bob Baumgartner, who alleges that the UFO presence at the Battle of Oahu is the U.S. military's biggest coverup in history!
Bob, 71, was a 23-year-old Military Policeman on guard duty at Pearl Harbor during the Japanese sneak attack, and he's still haunted by that morning.
"Even though hundreds of both Americans and Japanese viewed five spaceships at the height of the battle, the U.S. military has kept silent," says Bob, who since became a leading investigative journalist.
Six years ago, he decided to conduct in-depth research to uncover once and for all the complete story of Pearl Harbor. After interviewing dozens of survivors and sifting through thousands of documents, he has assembled definite proof that hovering alien spaceships watched the surprise attack.
"It was before dawn when I began hearing explosions in the distance," Bob recalls.
"Within minutes, Japanese planes were everywhere."
Bob managed to find cover in a bunker. Then all hell broke loose.
"Plane after plane swooped down and strafed us with machine gun fire," says Bob. "I thought I was a goner for sure.
"As I looked up into the fiery sky to ask God for forgiveness, I noticed two giant silver disks hovering almost directly above me. They both had to be at least 100 yards in diameter."
Bob later found out that he wasn't the only one who had seen the flying saucers.
"Servicemen on both the U.S. and Japanese side reported the spacecraft," he says. "The Americans thought they were secret Japanese weapons.
"In fact, Japanese war files reveal that one of the planners of the attack, General Takashi Kozamura, ordered a retreat when he saw the mammoth flying saucers, but was over-ruled by General Tomoyuku Yamashita."
Still, the Pentagon has refused to confirm the UFO incident.
But through the Freedom of Information Act, Bob found reference to it in recently declassified files.
"An Army Air Force report reveals that five disk-like structures were sighted above Pearl Harbor," Bob says. "The explanation was that they were on a surveillance mission for 'an unknown and possibly extraterrestrial power.'
"The report goes on to state that 'the unidentified flying objects continued to hover after the enemy planes departed, appearing to survey the damage.
'They then disappeared into the upper-atmosphere at a high rate of speed.'" Bob quotes.
