Santa Clara Man Offers Police Training on UFO Sightings

A local man is offering area police departments free training on how to handle reports of UFO sightings.

With the recent mysterious drone sightings in New Jersey, Santa Clara native Chris Husing believes police departments need to be better apprised of how they fit into the equation. Toward that end, he has developed a 35-to-40-minute presentation for police departments to better inform them how to handle these reports.

Both the Air Force and the Federal Aviation Administration direct civilians who claim to have seen a UFO to their local police department. But Husing believes most police departments are unaware of this.

After graduating from Santa Clara University in 1994 with a BA in history, the Air Force hired Husing as a civilian historian. He said he saw a classified briefing on a 1996 UFO sighting. In May 2023, he testified at the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office.

Up until recently, it was almost a given that anyone claiming to have seen a UFO would most likely be a crackpot claiming to have had an alien encounter.

“It is a topic that has been stigmatized,” Husing said. “The government has been very successful in debunking the subject.”

The “U” in UFO is key, Husing said, meaning that just because someone can’t identify an object in the sky doesn’t mean its origin is alien. In his estimation, roughly 95% of UFO sightings have mundane explanations.

Despite years of dismissing many claims, in recent years, the government has released various reports and videos that lend legitimacy to many sightings.

“There are plenty of credible sightings that police have been involved with,” Husing said. “There is too much toothpaste coming out of the toothpaste tube … The government is admitting that we don’t know what these things are that the Air Force intercepted.”

Lt. Micheal Crescini, Santa Clara Police Department’s public information officer, wrote in an email that Santa Clara police respond to a variety of calls for “suspicious activity.” While he is unaware of any UFO reports, some of the calls include a “situation that cannot be explained.”

But Husing said it is still sometimes hard to get police departments to take the reports seriously. Cataloging claims to UFO activity and establishing the credibility are essential, he said, something his training assists police in doing.

“You don’t have to buy into exotic origins, but at least take the report,” he said.

The presentation is aimed at filling this knowledge gap. In November last year, Husing presented his PowerPoint to a Bay Area police officers association in Millbrae, something he said went over well.

Having a central repository of information such as a website wouldn’t be difficult, but until the federal government funds it, cataloging UFO sightings will have to remain a “grassroots” effort, Husing said.

The presentation is available over video conference. To schedule a training, contact Husing at fact275@proton.me.

    It is almost trivially easily to put something in the sky now. Drones that are easily identified as such in daylight are anything but at night. Husband and I have vacation/retirement property in the Eastern Sierra near a US Marine base, and have observed aircraft flying quite low in daytime, actually below the ceiling allowed for civilian drones. My point is that there is a huge variation between elevations that commercial people/cargo aircraft fly and what is easy to make happen from your own backyard. Constructing homemade civilian aircraft is an interesting hobby for many, and the necessary location resources are a big enough yard and a rural, uncontrolled airfield to fly from.

    I absolutely accept the existence of UFOs, but it’ll take serious evidence to convince me that sentient beings outside our solar system are interested in some backwater planet in an unspectacular galaxy. Until then, well, I celebrate the creativity of humans.
