Since the dawn of time, humans have been looking at the heavens and started to wonder if there are any other beings beyond what we can see. Could we be alone in the Universe is one of the oldest questions humanity has, and while a lot of people claim that there is no such thing as definitive proof for the existence of aliens, others are very well convinced that we are indeed not alone in the Universe.
Throughout centuries there have been numerous sightings of UFOs in the sky. Of course, on UFO doesn’t automatically mean a flying saucer piloted by aliens. It could be nothing more than an object that we can’t explain with the science we know. UFO stands for unidentified flying object, which means that if indeed we find out that mysterious object is a flying saucer from another planet, it will no longer be qualified as a UFO.
On the other hand, it’s indeed very possible that a lot of those cases of UFOs or nothing else but the result of human imagination or people who wanted to stand out by inventing a story. However, when some sightings of UFOs are well documented and have more than just two or three witnesses, we cannot deny that the most reasonable explanation is that extraterrestrial beings have indeed visited our planet in the past. Let’s remind you about some of those sightings:
Roswell Incident (1947)
Perhaps the most famous UFO incident in history is the Roosevelt incident event, which took place in New Mexico back in 1947, only two years after the end of the Second World War. The event ignited a firestorm of speculation and conspiracy theories that last even today. It was initially reported as a crashed weather balloon, but the official narrative later shifted, fuelling speculation that the wreckage may have been of extraterrestrial origin. For decades to come, witness testimonies, as well as aligned cover-ups, have sustained the mystery surrounding the Roswell incident.
Of course, in the end, skeptics can still claim that the Roswell event from 1947 doesn’t prove the existence of alien life. But even so, they would have a difficult time trying to provide a reasonable explanation that doesn’t evolve extraterrestrial beings.
The Phoenix Lights (1997)
A more recent event that occurred back in March 1997 was of people from Arizona witnessed a series of strange lights hovering over Phoenix and surrounding areas. The bizarre event was described as a massive v-shaped object, and the sighting lasted for hours. The event quickly captivated the public and prompted questions from both civilians as well as from authorities. However, the phenomenon was attributed to flares and military exercises, but even so, many remain convinced that PhoenixLlights represented a visit from an alien civilization.
Pentagon UFO Videos (2017)
Any stunning revelation the Pentagon officially released free videos captured by US Navy pilots showing encounters with UFOs. these videos were captured in 2004 and 2015 and they depict objects that prove erratic behavior. Those objects also defy the known aerodynamic principles, indicating that they could have been created by an Extraterrestrial civilization. While many choose to remain skeptical that these videos do date confirm the presence of Extra Terrestrial beings, the footage still raises the question about the nature of these encounters. Probably the most reasonable explanation, after all, is that advanced technological capabilities that are beyond human understanding what indeed to blame for the sightings. In other words, alien species might already be out there somewhere and have a pretty good knowledge of what happens on Earth.
If you also had the impression that a neighbor or a friend of yours is an alien, you are not alone. Extraterrestrial beings could be everywhere among us without us even having a clue. The big question is this: could they be friends or foes? Only time will give us the right answer.
