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.
Information Officer, First Lieutenant Walter G. Haut released what is now known as the.
"Roswell Statement". The statement announced that the U.S. Army Air Force had.
recovered the remains of a crashed UFO and that they were sent to higher headquarters.
The next day a photo of three men holding a weather balloon was released to the press.
The Air Force said that this was what was recovered at Roswell. How could an army.
officer mistake a weather balloon for a flying disc? Was this a government involved.
cover-up or was it really just a weather balloon. Like most questions involving UFOs.
these still remained unanswered. After the Roswell incident reports of UFOs came in.
from all over the place. The U.S. Air Force started an operation called Project Blue Book.
that dealt with all the individual UFO reports over the next 20 years.
