What is UFO?

The acronym UFO – stands for Unidentified Flying Object – is so prevalent and common place today that it’s easy to forget the term is not even fully fifty years old yet. There is even some dispute about the acronym’s exact origin.

In strictest terms, a UFO is just that – an apparent unidentified flying object, origin unknown.

What exactly are UFOs?

Unidentified Flying Objects (or UFOs) are often described as nocturnal lights, cylindrical “cigar-shaped”, saucer, bowl, or triangular shaped craft which appears to be under intelligent control. There are countless photographs and video footage of bright lights in the night sky, and small, reflective, metallic disks, even detailed craft (which are almost always hoaxed).

Scientific Definition

The best scientifically accepted definition of a UFO is probably that provided by the late astronomer J. Allen Hynek, who said that the UFO is simply

“the reported perception of an object or light seen in the sky or upon the land the appearance, trajectory, and general dynamic and luminescent behavior of which do not suggest a logical, conventional explanation and which is not only mystifying to the original percipients but remains unidentified after close scrutiny of all available evidence by persons who are technically capable of making a common sense identification, if one is possible.”

 UFO Evidences 

The evidence that the earth is being visited by at least one extraterrestrial civilization is extensive both in scope and detail. In it’s totality, it comprises a body of evidence which at the very least supports the general assessment that extraterrestrial life has been detected, and that a vigorous program of research and serious diplomatic initiatives is warranted.

1. There are numerous daytime and nighttime photographs and videotapes of clearly non-human spacecraft from all over the world; these films and videotapes have been evaluated and deemed authentic by competent experts in optical physics and related fields.

2. There are over 4,000 landing trace cases from around the world.

Sailors had seen a remarkable object, or “cloud,” which they reported to the ship’s captain. “According to Capt. Banner,” Fort wrote, “it was a cloud of circular form, with an included semicircle divided into four parts, the central dividing shaft beginning at the center of the circle and extending far outward, and then curving backward.”

5  UFO Conspiracy Theories:  What they need from earth ?

1. Curiosity

One of the many reasons put forward as to why we are being visited is that it is just a simple case of curiosity. In a similar way as the first explorers of our planet discovered new lands and new civilisations (e.g. the Incas, Mayans and Indians), alien lifeforms who stumble across us in their exploration of space may find us an intriguing and interesting species in our own right.

 

 

2.  Minerals

Another popular theory put forward is that the Earth may well contain certain minerals which are not present on the alien planet. There has been some evidence of this in various reports and claims of ‘underground’ alien bases and sightings of craft seemingly taking samples of earth, planet and even other lifeforms.

3.  To warn and protect

One strong theme to of emerged from many of the abduction and contactee tales is one kindness and protection. Many abduction victims claim to have been shown mental images of the destruction of Earth through neglect and war.

4.  Genetic Manipulation

One of the more recent theories is that the aliens are using the human race to conduct some form of genetic experiment. This has come about fairly recently due to the connection between animal mutilations and UFO’s.

5.  Invasion

The last theory is the the ‘invasion’ theory. Now this theory was put together by early contactee claims. However, over the years the theory has become less widely accepted.

The main reasoning against this theory is that any civilization that can traverse space and time should be able to invade a civilization that has been flying for less that 100 years. Also if the invasion theory is correct then surely we would have been invaded many years ago.
