UFOs – Are They For Real?
by Douglas McGregor on Aug.17, 2009, under Paranormal
This is one of the big questions that's been playing on the mind of enthusiasts and skeptics for a long time.
Skeptics will say they don't exist, but what do they really mean when they say that? UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object, just as Paranormal suggests something that's not normal. Most people associate UFOs with flying saucers and little green men. This can be attributed to reports from people who claim to have been abducted – a lot of these reports contain the same thing.
Being a paranormal enthusiast myself, I have spoken to people who believe that humans are basically aliens are already here among us, walking the earth in disguise – this to me is people who have completely lost their minds. Surely there would be physical evidence to prove it? It sounds like a perfectly made up story, doesn't it!
Government cover ups of UFO sightings have long been of interest to enthusiasts. If you think about it logically, what would be the point in the government doing this? Why would the government hide such facts? Is Area 51 really holding top secret information about supposed flying saucers that have crash landed?
On the news today they touched on the subject of UFOs briefly, and said that the X-Files is partly responsible for what people think about UFOs today. I've not seen the X-Files myself, but think it's most likely. The fact of the government ignoring supposed UFO sightings simply indicates that they have better things to do with their time. I'm very skeptical about Area 51 being used to hide flying saucers that have crash landed. To put it simply, it's an area used to test out their latest technology, aircraft and the likes, so of course it's going to be heavily guarded.
The most well known case of information about Area 51 securing information about UFOs comes from a guy called Bob Lazar, who claims to have worked there, and seen flying saucers, and little green men being diagnosed and probed. It sounds sick to think about. I'm not going to go into any more detail, however this article examines the claims by Bob Lazar – read this and make your own mind up.
What interests me most is footage of unexplained lights in the sky, lights that move so fast without making any sound – it makes it more credible when there's no aircraft scheduled for that particular airspace, and when the lights appear on the radar. YouTube has a lot of fascinating footage of these kind of lights.
Conclusion? The scientific search for life in our universe is far more interesting and has far more credibility.
