Are UFOs Real?

A man explores the mystery of alien existence.
- 1Area 51, Roswell, New Mexico, crop circles and unidentified flying objects.
- 2Does life exist outside planet Earth?
- 3And if so, have we been visited by alien beings?
- 4Let's take a look.
- 5A case for the existence of alien life forms has been made for millennia...
- 6...but definitely gained steam in the United States in 1947...
- 7...when the Roswell army airfield issued a press release that it had recovered a crashed flying disc.
- 8The Air Force quickly made the retraction explaining that the flying disc...
- 9...was actually a radar tracking weather balloon,...
- 10...which is a little fishy, don't you think?
- 11The government also said it recovered a couple alien bodies, I mean, dead weathermen.
- 12While declassified information about Roswell...
- 13...continues to be debated by UFO skeptics and proponents alike,...
- 14...another highly contested phenomenon suggesting the existence of alien life is crop circles.
- 15Some UFO supporters claim that these elaborate formations...
- 16...may be communications from extraterrestrial beings.
- 17Although hoaxes involving crop circles had been rampant since the 1970s.
- 18While things like flying saucers and alien abductions are largely discredited by scientists,...
- 19...many high-profile astrophysicists like Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking...
- 20...have suggested that alien life is not only possible throughout the universe...
- 21...but probable due in part to its immense size.
- 22But rather than gangly oblong-headed greenies,...
- 23...these arguments were more in favor of organic life such as bacteria.
- 24No matter how you slice it, making contact with extraterrestrials...
- 25...is a subject that continually fascinates us all.
- 26And ever since people have walked the face of the Earth,...
- 27...we've had our heads turned skyward marveling at the wonder of it all.
- 28And whether strange lights turned out to be nothing more than helicopters...
- 29...or cases of alien abductions turned out to be fabrications,...
- 30...wondering whether or not we're alone in the universe,...
- 31...is one thing that makes us utterly and totally human.
