UFOs

UFOs

    "Little Green Men", "Martians", "Outer Limits" ! That is what people
think about when aliens and UFOs come to mind. Aliens have been around, as
far as we can see, since 1561. The question is now asked, How come because
they [UFOs] have been sighted, encountered, and taken hostage; Why have we
been kept in the dark by our governments? "Since UFOs were considered a
security risk, the report on these sightings was originally classified as
secret (Kadrey 22)." The name 'flying saucer' was 'coined' by a Air Force
pilot in 1947, when he stated that he had saw something that looked like a
'flying saucer'. "The government knew about UFOs and have been tracking them
since 1947, which is to be believed when the 'Age of UFOs' started (Stacey 55).
So, through the next pages the theory that UFOs are real because of evidence
the government has covered up, the number of sightings, and the uncountable
number of abductions, will become a reality.

    The first reason that is going to be addressed, is the secrecy and
Government coverup of UFOs.

    "National Security Agency, or NSA, an acronym often assumed by insiders
to mean 'NEVER SAY ANYTHING' , (Stacey 40) " has been blamed for millions of
UFO governmental cover-ups around the nation. "Our problem is with government
secrecy, because it widens the gap between citizens and the government,
making it much more difficult to participate in the democratic process
(Stacey 40)," says Steven Aftergood while addressing UFO secrecy. The UFO
enigma, or as it is formerly know as the "'Cosmic Watergate' : the ongoing
cover-up of the government's knowledge about extraterrestrial UFOs and their
terrestrial activities (Stacey 36)" is believed to be started during the
Nixon administration, which is still under alot of scrutiny. The Nixon
Administration also established the Freedom of Information Act [FOIA] in the
1970s', it opened the door to alot of truth and more coverups. " I don't
think they would do a 300-page report on everything they detect," says Joe
Stefula who is a UFO researcher. The "military would far rather have people
blame such things on flying saucers than them (Brookesmith 14). "

    Several secret UFO Projects have proven the existence of UFOs. One of
the more popular ones was 'Project Blue Book' which "was organized by the
Air Force. "The panel employed a number of scientists, including phycists,
engineers, meteorlogists, and an astronomer. It had three main goals : 1) To
explain all reported sightings of UFOs
