Do UFOs Really Exist?

What comes to mind when someone talks about a UFO? Do you consider the cover of a fantasy novel and the image of mysterious bluish lights beaming down from it? Do you think about a time when you were out late in the dead of night and you saw a flash of light, wondered what it was only to realize a moment later that what you saw wasn’t a UFO – it had been just the lights of a plane that was beginning its descent. do you think about movies, or little green men, cartoons, or do you just turn away shaking your head?

A lot of individuals discuss UFOs as alien ship – it seems to be the most accurate description that they will come up with. Others suggest, rather dismissively, that UFO simply means unidentified flying object which the light that somebody saw flashing in the sky was either a plane, a helicopter or a mirrored image of light off of a cellular phone tower or another metal object.

Reflections of light from a cell phone tower do little to explain away “mysterious materials” found in Roswell, New Mexico during late 1940s. While the u. s. military has always stood their ground that these materials were merely fragments of a research balloon, a top secret test that ended badly, others offer another explanation. they are saying that the materials were fragments of a UFO, an alien ship that crashed instead of safely landing. They believe that the “flying disc” – as it was called by military personnel – that was recovered couldn't be something from this world, and so began one of the foremost talked about UFO encounters in the world.

Many who believe that the UFO in Roswell, New Mexico deserved more attention than it had been being given, believe that it wasn’t something that would just be dismissed. In part, this is likely to have something to do with other stories surrounding the UFO. A farmer talked about having found materials miles away from Roswell, and therefore the story was picked up by newspapers, accompanied by photos of the strange find – strips of rubber, something like tin foil, sticks. It’s a story that has gained so much attention round the world that it's influenced many people’s sense of alien life and alien visitations to earth.

If the Roswell, New Mexico story had never become so widespread, UFO and flying saucer might not be so common in our language, in our experiences and in novels, television programming and films. How common is it for people to see a UFO?

It’s hard to say, really, because many of us who see an unidentified flying object fly through the sky are reluctant to report it. Either the person who saw a UFO believes that there's a way more logical explanation or merely thinks that nobody would believe them if they were to mention anything about it. And yet, there are UFO sightings that are shared and that become the subject of conspiracy theories by those that believe that beings from other planets and galaxies have visited the earth.

One such incident occurred in 1980 in Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk, England. People who saw the UFO all claimed to have seen flashing lights coming from an unidentified flying object that was descending towards the woods – a UFO that was roughly the size of a car and appeared to float on a beam of light. After reports were made about the object, it had been discovered that trees were damaged, radio frequencies became nothing but static and soil samples later showed radioactive activity.

Similarly, in Gulf Breeze, Florida in 1987 tales of a UFO began to circulate when a person saw an odd light coming from his lawn. When he saw the UFO, he grabbed a camera and began shooting photos as proof of what he had seen. Of course, in this situation, the story wasn't just of a UFO sighting, but about repeated experiences and of the man’s being beamed up onto the craft.

Though discussions of these UFO sightings continue, and there has been audio recordings and photo documentation, it's still difficult to understand whether or not the unidentified flying objects were indeed from space. Many claimed, in respect to the Gulf Breeze, Florida UFO sightings, that the person had manipulated the pictures and fabricated the story.

In each case, both sides – the believers and also the skeptics – find evidence to support their claims. People who believe UFOs and alien visitations cite facts that they claim cannot otherwise be explained. People who are skeptical offer their own explanations along with their own supporting evidence. Which side is right? For now, that’s up to you to decide.
