Why Do Aliens Exist
The concept of extraterrestrial life is a controversial subject. People either agree with the opinion that aliens are real, while others argue that the idea of alien life is incorrect. Some take the concept of believing overboard, and others try to justify their disbelief by stating that most who believe are conspiracy theorists. Are aliens real, though? Since the universe is so expansive, why wouldn't they exist? 6EQUJ5, also known as the Wow! signal, could have potentially come from extraterrestrial life force attempting to contact us. On August 15, 1977, at 11:16 PM, an Ohio radio telescope detected a single pulse of radiation coming from the constellation of Sagitarious at the 1420 MHz hydrogen line.

The Roswell incident was an incident that many conspiracy theorists believed that the US goverment had covered up the incident and that it is still currently shrouded in mystery today. The incident happened in July of 1947 when a rancher by the name of William "Mac" Brazel reported to the sheriff that he might have uncovered the remains of a UFO crash. Eventually, it was stated that it was just a mistaken weather balloon, and there was no UFO. The story eventually died down, except for conspiacy theorists, who still believe that there was a UFO, and that the government purposefully hid it away from the public. …show more content…
The CIA admitted, about a year or so ago, that Area 51 in Nevada does exist, but UFOs and the like are not there. Documents released say thet Area 51 was not a place to contain alien space craft, but instead was used as a testing range for U-2 spy planes during the Cold War. Flying at above 60,000 feet, eventually there were reports of unidentified flying objects above the Nevada desert. "High altitude testing of the U-2 soon led to an unexpected side effect -- a tremendous increase in reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs)," the reports said. But alas, commerical airliners just saw the silver reflections coming off of the U-2's wings. (7) There is a possibility that binary star systems are habitable for life. Specifically, it depends on how big and how far apart the stars are to see if they are able to provide a planet with liquid water. Although water is a necessary factor for life, Venus and Mars in the Solar System, even in a habitable zone of the Sun, do not currently hold life.

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 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.

    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.

    In Ashland, Nebraska, on December 3, 1967, Herbert Schirmer, a 22 years young patrolman, was making his usual rounds. He had checked the Ashland Sales Barn, and several gas stations along Highway 6 when he noticed what he thought were red lights on top of a large truck. He had just passed through the intersection of Highways 6 and 63 at about 2:00 AM.He drove the short distance down 63 and stopped with his headlights shining on the object. According to Schirmer, the object was definitely not a truck. The red lights that he had seen were blinking through the oval portholes of a metallic, oval-shaped object that was hovering at a height of about eight feet above the road's surface.The object appeared to have a polished, aluminum surface and had a sort of walk around it. It had a structure underneath, like a landing gear.As he watched, the object rose into the air with flames coming from underneath. It passed almost directly over Schirmer's patrol car, then quickly shot out of sight.Schirmer returned to the police station, noting that it was now 3:00 AM., which surprised him because he felt that only ten minutes had passed. At the station, he made this entry into his logbook:"Saw a flying saucer at the junction of highways 6 and 63. Believe it or not!"Afterward, Schirmer developed a red welt on his neck, a headache, and he began to feel ill. Word of Schirmer's sighting was related to the Condon Commission at the University of Colorado, which investigated UFO reports.Schirmer was asked to come to Boulder, Colorado. At Boulder, on February 13, 1968, he was hypnotized by psychologist Dr. Leo Sprinkle of the University of Wyoming.Under hypnosis, Schirmer recalled that, after he stopped his car near the object, the engine died and his radio went silent. A white object emerged from the craft and seemed to communicate mentally with him, preventing him from drawing his gun as he was want to do.After the hypnotic session had…

All these questions, scientist try to answer throughout this film but it seems like even they had trouble really clearly answering the question of where are the aliens. The researcher and scientist that research the extraterrestrial field have come up with ways to try to make first contact with any other life forms outside of earth if they are out there by using Doppler effect and radio signals and looking at the different type of strong of weak radio signals and looking for any type of signs or patterns they might be giving off and trying to pin point exactly where they signals are coming from. These researchers also wondering why humans always picture aliens or other life forms with similar face and body features like we have, what do they really look like, would they have eyes a nose and mouth like us? Question that are still left unknown, but what they do know is that first off they need to look for planets that are earth like and they also need to have an Jupiter planet which is key because it would protects our earth from the sun.

    Over the years, the world has evolved and many debatable topics have arisen. In my opinion, one has become even more profound as the years have gone on. If this phenomenon became a reality, every living thing in the world would be greatly affected. It would even alter the world as we know it. The question, “Are aliens real?”, has been around for hundreds of years and has puzzled many professors and scientists. No one knows for sure, but I have faith that these extraterrestrial beings are not just a myth. Over the years, too much unexplainable, ancient and scientific evidence has been uncovered for nothing else to be out there. There is no doubt in my mind that aliens are real.…
