Existence of Extraterrestrial Bodies

With all our knowledge of everything around us, overwhelming as it may be, there are still a lot of aspects that are unknown to even the smartest scientists. Did you know that humans know only 5% of the entire universe? Yes, everything we know about the Earth, the Milky Way, and all the planets is barely even a fourth of what comprises the entirety of the universe. Knowing that, it would be illogical to say that the creatures on Earth are the only forms of life in the universe. Today I will tell you about unidentified object sightings, close encounters and even abductions. The first recorded UFO sighting was in Mexico, by an astronomer named Jose Bonilla in 1883 while he was observing sunspot activity. He was said to have seen more than 300 unusual flying objects crossing before the sun. The next one was three years after in Venezuela during a thunderstorm. People reported seeing a bright flying object accompanied by a humming noise hovering over a small hut. The people in that hut got illnesses from radiation exposure and nine days later, the trees surrounding the hut withered and died due to the same reason. Another alarming incident was in the United States of America where a UFO allegedly crashed in Texas and its alien pilot buried at the local cemetery incidentally, I read of the same encounter from a different source and it added this: That night, local officials called a reverend whose name I regret to forget, to go to the crash sight immediately to pray for the victims. When he got there, he was shocked to see non-human creatures. Not more than a few minutes later, military men came in a helicopter and told the reverend to leave and not say a word to anyone; it was an order. These incidents were way back in the 1800’s when our technology was not as enhanced and

    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…

    The American court would not take their testimony as real evidence because only seven out of the hundreds of witnesses claimed to have seen the debris or alien. Some of the people who have claimed to have seen the aliens seem to have made false comments which were by second-hand sources. Others made claims of sightings on their deathbed but they were thought to be elderly confused (Rowell 1947 Incident Retrieval). There may have been many people to make assumptions on what they saw but there was no solid proof or high quality…

    The air force would drop dummies near New Mexico to test ways for the pilots to resist a fall from very high altitudes. People thought that the dummies that were being dropped by the air force looked a lot like aliens. This was when people started believing that the air force was involved with extraterrestrial life. Many people “were convinced that the dummies were actually extraterrestrial creatures who were being kidnapped and experimented on by the government scientist” (Roswell 3).…

    Are Aliens Real? Is there life on other planets? This is a question many people have considered at least once in their lifetime. According to Neil deGrasse Tyson author of “The Search for Life in the Universe,” all known cultures across all of the time have attempted to answer the question “are we alone?” According to Tyson, although Earth is the only known life in the universe there are many arguments that have been made that suggest that we are not alone (1) .…

    "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.” This famous quote was said by Neil Armstrong when he and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. This was an accomplishment that will live on forever in the hearts of the American citizens on July 20, 1969. Ever since that day many people envisioned humans traveling the cosmos, pushing our limits, and making our mark in the universe. That was more than 40 years ago and today there has been a lack of motivation or initiative to do what was once viewed as the need to spread our species out into the stars before the inevitable death of our planet. NASA’s budget has seen cuts over the years and recently has had the need to call upon private companies to further their space programs so they can still…

    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…

    Introduction: Extraterrestrial Organisms (ETs) exist throughout the universe, and have visited Earth in the past in order to study humans. There are billions of galaxies in the universe, billions of solar systems in each galaxy, and multiple planets in each solar system, yet the majority of people believe that Earth is the only inhabitable planet in the universe. Although it may seem absurd, and to some even frightening, to believe that there are other planets with life on them, recent research shows that there may indeed be life in planets other than Earth, and recent data even goes further to show that ETs even conduct research on humans and generally have 5 kinds of contact. In order to prove that the existence of ETs, researchers conduct surveys of people that have been abducted (4th kind) in order to determine the similarities between their experiences. Also recent research shows that life on Earth may have actually originated from Mars, thus showing that humans may be ETs. Despite the recent evidence, people still ask why, if ETs actually do exits, don’t they show themselves? This may be attributed to a strategy or plan of the ETs.…

    From the dawn of time, we as humans have been attempting to explain and identify events and phenomena which we have experienced. Many of these events such as the creation of the Earth and its different species have been virtually unexplainable due to a lack of knowledge and information. As a result, humans, from confusion and curiosity, developed theories and ideas attempting to explain what could not originally be…
