A UFO, unidentified flying object, is an unexplained moving object observed in the sky, especially one assumed by some observers to be of extra-terrestrial origin (Random House Dictionary). Technically, the term UFO is a wrong term that is used to name possible alien aircrafts. UFO originally meant Unconventional flying object, not unidentified flying object. The military has known since the 1940s that these were intelligently piloted craft (http://www.aliens-everything-you-want-to-know.com). The term ‘alien’ is a verbally abused term. As defined in the Oxford American Dictionary, the term refers to a person who is not a citizen of a country in which he is living. In our community today, the term is more commonly used when referred to space beings. For this research matter, the term aliens will be referred to as space beings.

From the ancient times, countless sightings of UFO’s have been recorded. A lot of archaeologists claim that aliens have been here since the beginning of our world. According to Harold E. Burt,
Aliens are a part of earth’s history. They have been here during our entire existence. When the Roman Empire was in full bloom, they were there. When Columbus crossed the Atlantic, they were there. When Christ was born, they were there! Thanks to Will Smith and Tommie Lee Jones, everybody has heard of or seen the fictitious action-comedy movie ‘Men in Black.’ The movie is all about the existence of aliens lingering with us in our community without our knowledge. It also showed that aliens also work for the organization, but what we do not recognize is that the movie has exposed the truth about the existence of the Men in Black. First, what does the term ‘black’ mean? We probably have heard from a lot of action movies where the phrase ‘He’s gone black’ is a common expression for those agents who have erased their personal records as if he never existed. Harold E. Burt explained:

The word 'black' when used in this context means covert, undercover, or not seen. When a person enters the intelligence community and becomes involved in operations and projects, all their government files basically disappear. They are no longer accessible through the normal channels. When this happens it is said the person has "gone black."

This is a record of Doctor Herbert Hopkins’ story and is considered as the most detailed account of MIB’s. During the summer of September 1976, Doctor Herbert Hopkins, a 58 year old hypnotist, was actively investigating on a UFO abduction case when he suddenly received a call from a stranger if he could come by and to talk to him about the case that he was working on. This was despite the fact that the case had not been publicized at all. Hopkins agreed, hung up the phone, and immediately walked to his door to turn on the porch light so the caller could see the steps when he arrived. Hopkins was surprised to see a man walking up the stairs of the porch as he was turning on the light. He was shocked when the man introduced himself as the person who had just called him. (There were no cellular phones in 1976.) The man was dressed in black suit, black tie, black hat, and grey gloves. In the summertime! The man's skin was a pale sickly colour and he appeared to be wearing bright red lipstick, a fact which turned out to be true as Hopkins later watched some of the lipstick rub onto the man's grey glove. The man asked Hopkins to take out the two coins that were in Hopkins' pocket. Stunned, Hopkins did it. He told Hopkins to watch the coins in his hand. The two coins simply vanished into thin air! Then the man told him, "Neither you nor anyone else on this planet will ever see those coins again." The man then said his "energy was running low" and left. Shortly after stepping off Hopkins' porch, the man himself disappeared.
One of the most puzzling thoughts about the UFO’s is that they are never officially confirmed by the government. Despite the hundreds of witnesses who have seen and who have given their testimonies, the government’s explanation regarding these certain events never lead to agreeing with the witnesses. The movie ‘2012’ best shows what the government is capable of hiding critical information to the public. In the film, several personalities were killed by the government because these men or women have learned something crucial regarding the end of the world, and these people wanted the public to know since the know that we deserve the right to information. The government knew that a statement to the public may cause a destructive effect to the community. As seen in the movie, it is greatly possible that the government is, as you read now, plotting an emergency evacuation plan once ‘something’ happens. Even though the movie was a fictitious one, we can never set aside the fact that sometimes, fiction is born from reality.

President John F. Kennedy (JFK) of the United States of America, considered to be the best president that took the position, was idolized by many because of this: President JFK was never afraid to speak about the truth. In a statement made by President JFK in 1963 where UFO stories were getting out of hand, JFK addresses the public, “I'd like to tell the public about the alien situation, but my hands are tied.” Now, if President JFK was best known for his courage in always speaking out the truth, then why does he, in a very important and controversial story, tell us nothing about it? This event best shows how the government can hide information from us, the people, and even the President can do nothing about it. And this story is not from a movie, it is an unscripted true happening that happened almost 5 decades ago.

Considered to be the best event of alien contact, on July 1947, is the Roswell crash. Located in New Mexico, Roswell was the place that was reported that alien bodies were recovered from a downed alien spacecraft. This event was the best confirmation that we are not alone. Although the government did what they had to do, nothing can interest the public more, than the accounts of dozens of witnesses who sworn and testified to what they saw. Here is a text of First Lieutenant Walter Haut’s press release dated July 8, 1947.
The many rumors regarding the flying disc became a reality yesterday when the Intelligence office of the 509th Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disc through the cooperation of one of the local ranchers and the sheriff's office of Chaves County. The flying object landed on a ranch near Roswell sometime last week. Not having phone facilities, the rancher stored the disc until such time as he was able to contact the sheriff's office, who in turn notified Maj. Jesse A. Marcel of the 509th Bomb Group Intelligence Office.
Action was immediately taken and the disc was picked up at the rancher's home. It was inspected at Roswell Army Air Field and subsequently loaned by Major Marcel to higher headquarters.
This is only a minute part of the whole happening that occurred at Roswell. A synopsis of what happened at the sight is this: the disc gave of a radiant green light through its holes as if it was broad daylight (the crash occurred at night); lasers were turned on by accident; the suits that these aliens were wearing were atomically aligned fibers, something which can be only made in a spider’s web; fiber optics were found at the crash site and it took years to figure out what they were; the US military reverse-engineered the spacecraft, that is, taking a thing apart and rebuilding it based on what you learned during the dismantling; and experiments conducted on some pieces of the metal of the spacecraft confirmed that these metals were made off earth. Another experiment, conducted at the world’s leading metallurgy laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of technology, on the metals gave an even more astounding discovery: when the metal was placed in a chamber with an electrically charged atmosphere, the metal levitated all by itself. Hundreds of movies are produced every year. And in that bunch, at least one of those movies is about aliens and the likes. These movies are fictional, but we can’t deny the fact that one of the situations in those movies could happen to us. In an optimist way of speaking, we must thank the producers of those movies, for they have given us the information in which that we can prepare for the worst. If something bad could happen, it will.

Crop circles How can aliens possibly have advanced tech?

As we all know, as of now, the government still hasn’t confirmed such reports and theories about UFO’s and aliens, but the evidences proves the government’s excuses otherwise. Is the government ready when the time comes? What could ‘they’ be doing right now? What are they waiting for? Are the signs that they sent not enough for those sceptical persons? Lots of these stories are reported each day, and this proves the fact that we are not alone, are we?
