UFOs

What are ufos? UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) are sky phenomena that are unidentified on radar, confirmed on the ground by observers, and do not emit any audible sound. UFO sightings can be explained by natural occurrences such as clouds, ball lightning, aircraft terrestrial reflections though the term UFO is most commonly associated with extraterrestrial life or devices. UFOs can also be explained as man-made objects like balloons or flying lanterns. Since they cannot be detected by the detection methods used at the time, people found them hard to ignore. 

 In 1947, a private pilot named Kenneth Arnold reported the first modern sighting of a UFO. He described seeing nine silvery unknown objects flying near Mt. Ranier in Washington State at speeds that couldn't be detected by radar. These devices were called flying saucers because he thought they resembled the top of a saucer with a domed lid on it. In the early 1950s, a rash of UFO sightings began. The term flying saucer was soon replaced by the military with the more scientific-sounding term Unidentified Flying Objects or UFOS.

The Roswell Incident was perhaps one of the greatest events in UFO history, but it also had its drawbacks. At the time, the U.S. military was not allowed to investigate or debunk claims of UFOs, so no official investigations occurred until after the event had occurred. However, there were many publications that went along with the belief of aliens coming to Earth in flying saucers. The U.S. government had to continue its cover-up after the event because of this public reaction.

UFOs are something that surpasses scientific classification for it is possible that they are extraterrestrial devices or man-made objects designed to mimic alien craft. Because the government kept this event secret, many people were left with unanswered questions. The air force was eventually charged with investigating UFO reports. Many of these investigations were based on witness statements and little hard evidence. The lack of hard evidence led to a conclusion that most UFOs were not extraterrestrials, rather they just seemed to be mundane objects that did not have any known origin or purpose.

Ufos and aliens are thought to be hiding/based in the Bermuda Triangle according to some paranormal researchers. That area is the point where three of the most powerful water currents meet in an area between Miami, Florida, Puerto Rico, and later Cuba. It is located between Bermuda, San Juan Puerto Rico, and Miami. Many ships, planes, and people have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The area is thought to have many "otherworldly" inhabitants. Many people think it is the site of a massive battle between supernatural forces. One theory says that planes and ships simply disappear and go off course, but reappear elsewhere (usually without any explanation). A lot of ufology is in the realm of conspiracy and in the early days, there were some very famous and credible witnesses.
