Are Ufo's Real?
Are UFOs Real?
What exactly is a UFO, is it possible they actually exists, where do they come from, and what do they want from us? These are questions that have been asked for years, by many different people around the world but will they ever be answered?
According to Dictionary.com the definition of a UFO is “A mysterious object seen in the sky for which, it is claimed, no orthodox scientific explanation can be found.” Since 1947 there have been UFO sightings in almost every country. The sightings have even been known to come in what scientists call ‘UFO waves’ which means for a short time UFO sighting increase rapidly in one certain area. Although we don’t know a lot about these UFO waves, attempts to link them with hysteria, mentality and stress have all failed. An online poll from the National UFO Reporting Center concluded that nearly 11 percent of the American public has had an encounter with a UFO. Worldwide there have been over 500,000 reported sightings of UFO activity. A random study of these reports showed no pattern in the witnesses that cut across many different economic, class, race and educational lines. However, a greater percentage of these reports have come from people living in rural areas, then from people living in urban areas.
With such a great number of people that have reportedly seen these, so called, UFOs it makes you wonder, could they be right? Maybe, there is something out there, just waiting to be found. Or maybe this phenomenon is entirely made up from a mixture of a whole lot of crazy. We may never know.

    UFO or NASA weather balloon? There is a wealth of UFO sightings around the world. There is also always someone around to see it. These videos are full of shaky footage and interesting commentary. It could be a UFO? And the video is put to the test through peer evaluation, usually on YouTube. Rational folk always have an answer. A drone. Trump flying around with bat wings. Or a more simpler explanation, a NASA weather balloon. It would be difficult to dismiss the chance that a real UFO has been caught on film. But over the next 100 days or so, you may simply be recording a NASA weather balloon. Since NASA has one hovering around the earth somewhere at an altitude in upwards of 100,000 feet.…

    The most appealing and controversial mysteries that has been around for centuries are UFOs. A UFO is an unidentified flying object seen in the sky that is believed to have no orthodox scientific explanation that can be found. The case of the Phoenix Lights is one of the intriguing and controversial UFO sightings on records. On the evening of March 13, 1997, thousands of people were outside waiting to see the spectacular Hale-Bopp Comet, until thousands of eyewitnesses reportedly seeing mysterious dots of lights spotted in the sky hovering over Phoenix, Arizona as the Hale-Bopp Comet passed over the sky. Thousands of eyewitnesses stated to have seen what is believed to be bright dots of lights that is a spacecraft formed into a V-shape. With thousands of reports of seeing what is believed to be a UFO spacecraft, the government quickly denied that the Phoenix Lights was the appearance of extraterrestrial. Instead, the United States Air Force stated that the lights were flares that…

    Area 51 Conspiracy Theory

    • 1037 Words
    • 5 Pages

    But to the reluctance of the government to address the claims of extraterrestrial activity, the conspiracy theories grew popular through the 1950s to the present. A poll showed that 57% of U.S. citizens believe that UFOs are real, therefore, beliefs in UFOs will not quickly dissipate. But recent evidence and personal accounts provide logical arguments with support to show that the claims of extraterrestrial interactions with the U.S. government in Area 51 is not true. Rather the lights and unidentified flying objects reported by people near Groom Lake were prototype aircraft that were being designed to aid the U.S. in the Cold War against the Soviet Union. The reports of UFOs only happened after the testing of experimental aircraft throughout the 1950s and 1960s, thus the correlation between the testing of the prototype planes and reports of UFOs verify that it was the aircraft tested by the U.S., not aliens flying over Area 51. The testimony by Robert Lazar is contested by retired service members who worked in Area 51 and Lazar’s questionable credibility. While there is no proof to support the conspiracy theories surrounding Area 51, people still believe and argue that the government has fabricated stories and that aliens do exist. But with no tangible…

    Every question that is asked is expected to have an answer, and soon. As human beings, anticipating a response is unbearable. Area 51 has and continues to spark a multiplicity of fascinating inquiry, many left for the questionee to decide on his or her own. The idea of associating Area 51 with extraterrestrials is a fault in the government’s security. The allowance for the media to distribute false evidence is a hoax. Deferring people from actual activities going on at Area 51 will only raise curiosity.…

    The talk of aliens started in the 1980 involving the Area 51 military base. A man said he had worked with Nellie as a physicist and has said they were studying crashed saucers. This sparked a lot of controversy and frightened people. The conspiracies behind Area 51 can be backed up, well at least some of them but a lot of them debunked. Conspiracies behind Area are questionable and some are true and a lot are debunked. Yet we still have a lot to figure out about this mysterious military base. This military base is amazing and mysterious and will forever be mystery. Though there may be no Alien or some super technology but still an amazing secretive…

    A National Geographic survey states that 77% of the population believe that aliens exist and could have visited the Earth. Over “80 million Americans, or 36% of the population, believe UFOs are real” (Live Science Staff). 68 years ago the nation was captivated by supposed reports that a UFO crashed on a ranch in Roswell, New Mexico. This subject has always been debated between the military and the public for years. In 1997 “the military released a 231 page report [hoping that all the rumors would stop]” (Peyser 1). Yet, the public still doubt the truth of the military report about the Roswell incident because there were several different stories that happened. I believe that a UFO could have landed, but that will never know the truth given…

    Imagine, one afternoon you are in your backyard enjoying the sun when suddenly you look up at the sky and there is a huge disk-like shaped object floating above your whole town. For centuries, scientists, ecologists, politicians, and common people around the world have discussed the subject of the unidentified flying objects (UFO). It seems paradoxical, but the main question of their discussion concerns existence or non-existence of the UFO itself. The most popular and appealing notion about the UFO is the extraterrestrial hypothesis. The hypothesis implies that there are intelligent beings from other planets visiting Earth, aliens. Although some people…

    Macbeth, a play written by William Shakespeare, it is one of his more dark and sinister pieces. Even so, the multiple themes that Shakespeare incorporated into his play can be found in modern day society. Superstition, one of his many themes, is present even in the twenty-first century. Many people now believe in UFO’s (unidentified flying objects) coming to overrun our planet, the illuminati a group of influential and powerful people trying to take over the United Nations and unesco, along with old wives tales of superstition. Many different people have sited UFO’s all around the world. Some even claim to have been abducted, like Clayton and Donna Lee. They are a married couple living in Houston, Texas, they say that they have been abducted more than once, including an incident where Donna was pregnant and her baby was taken from her. Not only are UFO’s abducting people but they are also leaving signs in cornfields. A man living in the United Kingdom claims that aliens came over night and left a crop circle in his field, that isn’t all. The following day he caught a glimpse of an alien. No one knows what is to come but the people who have witnessed UFO’s and aliens first hand suspect they are planning to take over the Earth. Furthermore the illuminati want a new world order, where there is one government. There are famous people that are known to have joined the illuminati like late Michael Jackson, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga. Before Michael’s death he started to reveal information on the illuminati because he was trying to free himself from their grasp, but by defying his contract he was murdered. You can tell which famous star is apart of the group quite easily. Their music videos would contain symbols of a triangle with an eye in the middle, like most of Lady Gaga’s videos. Or even by playing some of Beyoncé’s music backwards, you can hear her saying bow down to the devil. To achieve their goal they have pawns that made a deal with the devil in return gained power…

    Area 51 Research Paper

    • 1033 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Some believe that an alien spacecraft in 1947 crashed in Roswell, New Mexico and the government shipped the wreckage and the bodies to the base for examination and study. In addition, they also believe that the government saved alien survivors from inside the crashed UFO. The aliens were taken to Area 51 and were compelled to work with scientists and engineers to reverse -engineer the technology of the alien aircraft. Others go further and claim the facility has underground levels, some assume 40 levels, and tunnels connecting it to other secret bases, and the base contains warehouses full of alien technology and living aliens. The Air Force have publicly denied that aliens have nothing to do with the Area 51 but it got conspiracy theorists to wilder suggestions. According to Bill Uhouse, a man in 70’s, a whistleblower who said he worked in Area 51 from 1966 to 1979 as a mechanical engineer with a grey alien known as “J-Rod.” He claimed that him and the alien worked together to build a flight stimulator for the training of Air Force pilots “who would fly advanced USAF stealth reconnaissance craft developed through reverse engineering studies of alien UFOs.” Bob Lazar, a physicist, also claimed he had worked in Area 51 on an alien air craft. Lazar states that there are nine alien saucers housed in Area 51 for testing. The details for Area 51 are highly classified for purposes of national…

    Do You Believe

    A survey was taken of 29 people; they were asked one to three questions depending on their answer. Question # 1, “Do you believe aliens exist?” out of 29 people asked 24 said yes, they do believe aliens exist. Those 24 went on to the next question, Question # 2, “Do you believe aliens have visited Earth (even if just to fly past)?” of the 24 that answered yes to the first question 18 responded positive to question #2. So those 18 went on to answer the final question which was “Do you believe aliens have abducted humans and then returned them back to Earth?” Only four said “yes” to this question, most of those who said “no” wrote a reason to explain their reason for saying “no”. At least 10 people had very similar reasons in that they thought if aliens did abduct humans why would they bring them back, why not just kill the humans or cage them as we do animals in our zoos. Two people thought that all the stuff about anal probing was laughable and figured aliens would just take the D.N.A. or explore the brains of the humans they abducted. So most of the 29 people in this survey did believe aliens exist and more than half believe we have been visited by aliens even if it was just a fast fly-by.…
