U.F.O. (Unidentified Flying Object)

However, skeptics have argued that anecdotal accounts of UFO sightings and alien abductions simply do not provide enough grounds to scientifically validate the extraterrestrial hypothesis. What is needed, they say, is incontrovertible physical evidence such as undoctored photographs, debris from crashed UFOs, or other artifacts. “No good physical evidence—photographic, spectroscopic, or other—supports the hypothesis that UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft,” writes Donald W. Goldsmith and Tobias C. Owen, authors of The Search for Life in the Universe. “The UFO data consist almost entirely of eyewitness accounts of things seen in the sky.” Such reports are insufficient, Goldsmith and Owen contend, to support the claims that alien civilizations exist and have the means and motives to travel the extremely long distances between the stars to visit Earth. “When serious investigators who have the necessary skills examine UFO reports, they invariably find some natural cause,” they argue. “Venus, meteors, falling space debris, clouds, migrating birds, airplanes, and even automobiles on elevated roadways have all been mistaken for alien spacecraft, to say nothing of deliberate hoaxes.”Aliens, are they fact or fiction? Is there really life on other planets? You have
probably asked yourself a question like this at least once in your life. Perhaps we will
never really know because of the lack of solid evidence. The only evidence there is is the
testimony of others who have supposedly seen something out of the ordinary. There have
been reports of UFO’s (unidentified flying objects) all over the world and even reports of
people being abducted by strange beings. Are people making all this up or are they really
seeing something from another world.
People have claimed to see UFOs throughout all history, but it wasn’t until 1947
that tons of reports of UFO sightings began flowing in. Ever since 1947 UFO sightings
were given the name of “flying saucers.” One of the most famous cases of a UFO is the
Roswell Incident. On July 7, 1947 in Roswell , New Mexico a farmer reported that a
flying disc had crashed on his ranch. Soldiers from the Roswell Airforce Base were sent
to the crash site to investigate. They collected the debris of the wreckage and took it back
to the base to examine it. After examining the flying disc, Roswell Army Air Base Public

In addition to mysterious sightings, many people have claimed to have actually been abducted by aliens and taken aboard alien spacecraft. Budd Hopkins, the writer of several books on alien abduction, faults scientists for dismissing accounts of UFOs and alien abductions too easily. “Many scientists . . . maintain an interest in . . . the search for extraterrestrial intelligence,” he argues. “And yet almost none of these scientists have taken the time to look into the UFO phenomena as it inarguably exists: a phenomenon consisting of tens of thousands of reports of apparent craft sightings, landings, photo and radar evidence and accounts of the temporary abduction and examination of human beings.”However, skeptics have argued that anecdotal accounts of UFO sightings and alien abductions simply do not provide enough grounds to scientifically validate the extraterrestrial hypothesis.
