Columbo and the UFO
If you are a fan of Columbo from the 1970s like I am. I was a teenager back then. I love crime dramas.
A fan of the show caught a white spherical UFO that arrived above the protagonist in a Columbo episode in 1972, soared a bit to the side, and vanished after a short period.
The UFO appears in season 2, episode 3 (titled “The Most Important Game”) at about 59 minutes, when the characters Peter Falk and Val Avery are having a conversation, standing on the Santa Monica Pier.
A white UFO ball suddenly appears over the sea as if smoothly “flying” out of the portal and disappears in the same way — it smoothly goes out after a few seconds.
Drones didn’t exist back then, except for certain wind-up children’s airplanes, which the object in question does not resemble. Moreover, it doesn’t resemble a bird or a balloon in flight.
The claim that this is a small plane, a parachutist, or another athlete is unconvincing because such objects only emerge in the sky and then vanish with a trace.
The object also doesn’t resemble pyrotechnics or a flare fired into the air.
Here’s a clip. Watch carefully. If this video doesn’t work, here’s the link.
