1920 – 1929: UFO | UAP | ENTITY SIGHTINGS BY DATE

The 1920s open the first full decade of peacetime anomalous reporting in this archive’s chronological record, and close it as the most entity-rich, geographically dispersed ten years catalogued so far. The decade begins in 1920 with Albert Coe’s tripod-legged disc on the Mattawa River and the 200-witness Rushville, Missouri cylinder, and ends in 1929 with five separate occupied-craft encounters spanning Quebec, Oregon, Russia, Greece, and Brazil in a single year. Between those bookends the record runs through the Marseilles, France child-abduction account of 1921; the Saturn-shaped disc over Warsaw and William C. Lamb’s contested Hubbell, Nebraska creature in 1922; the Vyatka River crescent and the Pieve di Teco fish-shaped dome in 1923; the Dade City, Florida flower beings and the Mars-opposition cluster of 1924; the pre-Hill double abduction at Port Burwell, Ontario and the Moora, Australia disc with confirmed ground traces in 1925; the Salt Lake City engine-interference case and the Ujazd, Poland CE-III in 1926; the River Po USO with its visible occupant and Nicholas Roerich’s correctly-dated Himalayan oval in 1927; the riveted hexagonal craft at Yakima, Washington and the Bolton, Lancashire suited entities in 1928.

This is also the decade in which the archive’s editorial discipline was tested hardest: stale duplicate claims caught and corrected across multiple years, a Bolton, Lancashire entity encounter traced as a probable duplicate reaching the record through two different secondary citations two years apart, a Scottsbluff, Nebraska “flying manhole covers” entry identified as a likely misattribution of the documented 1926 Wichita case, source chains completed where prior entries carried only a first name, and Insufficient Data honestly applied wherever a catalogue citation could not be independently retrieved rather than filled with invented detail. The 1920s record that results is not a random scatter of lights and shapes. It is a consistent, ten-year, six-continent pattern of structured craft and humanoid encounters occurring in a period when no cultural framework yet existed to explain any of it.
