Because UFO research is much less stressful and depressing than real problems, like poverty, corruption, and environmental issues.
Why did they have a UFO at the 1984 Olympic Games?
The 1984 Olympic Games used a UFO theme to have some fun.
Was there ever a UFO siting reported in Ashtabula county Ohio in 1975?
I can't quite put my nose on it but according to my calculations, there should be another UFO sighting any time. Ohio is an extraordinary place so it is well worth a visit.
What is the darker area in the middle of the shadow called?
The darkest portion of the Moon's shadow during an eclipse is called the umbra.
And do time or pay a fine for vandalizing some poor farmer's crops?
If you saw a UFO what would you do?
I used to dispatch for police. Since there is no law against being a light in the sky, the police aren't really the best ones to contact. Try your local airport instead. Although I must admit that whenever we sent people to call the airport about their UFOs the airport sent them back to call us again. There isn't really an agency to call for seeing something in the sky you can't identify, which is all that "UFO" means.
On the other hand if you see an undeniable *alien spacecraft* (i.e. it has landed and is on the ground close enough that you can see the whites of their eyeballs) this is not a UFO any more. For that, take pictures, call the authorities, contact the media, try to stay hidden (no camera flashes, please!) and at least 50 to 75 feet away in case of radiation or whatever. If possible stay upwind so that while they might get your germs, you won't get theirs.
If they approach you, remember you are representing the whole human race, so do NOT act like a panicky idiot. Don't be the first to draw a weapon. Introduce yourself, tell them that any peaceful strangers are welcome to visit Earth, try to open friendly and respectful communication. If they want to harm you, you are as good as harmed anyway, so you might as well look good and as a human should. Tell them what you do and ask what they do (a politer way of asking 'What are you doing here!" than to say it that baldly). Remember that an alien is just a person from a long way away; it doesn't mean they are villains or horrible in any way.
What area of the world is referred to as the Land of the Midnight Sun?
Any place north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle will experience "midnight sun" for a few days or weeks around the Summer Solstice. The closer to the pole, the longer the period of sun in the summer - and perpetual darkness during the winter.
The Summer Solstice is on June 22 for the northern hemisphere, and on December 22 in the Southern Hemisphere.
Do 'UFO' and 'ET' have the same meaning?
No, the terms "UFO" and "ET" do not have the same meaning.
Specifically, "UFO" stands for an unidentified flying object. That object is not necessarily an alien spacecraft. Instead, it refers to whatever we do not recognize or understand with the technology and the interpretative or analytical skills available to us.
In contrast, "ET" stands for an extraterrrestrial life form. That means a life form whose home is not Planet Earth.
Of course, it is possible that there may be some overlap. It may be that a UFO turns out to be a self-propelled ET!
It depends on the Propulsion system used.
A UFO or specifically a UFO alien space craft requires a power unit or some kind of energy generation unit i.e nuclear/anti matter/zero point, The central idea to long distance space travel is gravity manipulation (folding space) and this can be reached a number of technologcial ways but not through conventional main stream science or technology.
Some UFO fotage apears to show ufos shapeshifting or vanishing but infact this is light being bended through powerful gravitational fields.
Has there been any UFO sightings in Michigan?
yes many.they have been spoted almost everywhere in the country
How many UFO sightings are in Nome?
Nome, Alaska seems to have been a hotbed of UFO activity. Crashes, sightings, craft found in ice, ect. Who would have known.
Has anyone ever seen an alien?
Now, let's get serious. There are no aliens known to exist, just a bunch of
anecdotes, and no matter how high you stack anecdotes, they never become
evidence. We hope there is other life out there, and we consider it likely. But
someone has to be the first form of intelligent life in the universe, and there is
no evidence that it isn't us.
==================================
The answer above caused at least one reader such heartburn that he was
inspired to open a WikiAnswers account, just so he could go into the
section here and fling his burning wrath upon the writer of the answer above.
It's really quite a piece of work, and you ought to go have a look.
But here's something else to consider on the whole topic of aliens:
Everything we can see in the universe is within about 14 billion light years of us.
That's all we can see, so that's the maximum age of the universe that we definitely
know about ... 14 billion years. OK so far ? OK.
Let's say that various forms of life are always igniting, developing, evolving (if you will),
and fading out, all over the universe.
Let's say that it's not too common, but every now and then, life in one place gets
far enough along to develop higher intelligence, language, writing, technology,
and the whole thing. Let's say that when that happens, the intelligent, highly-
advanced life lasts 1 million years before it fades out.
Let's say that none of that happened for the first 1 billion years after the Big Bang ...
or whatever kicked off the universe. Let's say it took that much time for things to
settle down, get stabilized, get organized, make enough particles to make enough
stars to make enough supernovae to make enough heavy elements to make enough
rocks, blood, eyeballs, fast cars, MTV, ball-point pens, Facebook, etc. ... everything
you need for a civilization with intelligence and Rush Limbaugh.
So let's say it's only been going on for 13 billion years now, and that once a
highly-intelligent civilization develops, it lasts 1 million years.
That means that just in the part of the universe that we can see, there could
have been 13,000 different intelligent civilizations so far, on 13,000 different
planets, and no two of them would have had to exist at the same time!
The human race hasn't even had spoken language for anywhere near 1 million
years yet, and already we're about to foul our nest, make our planet unlivable,
and kill each other off militarily. But even if intelligent life is as common as dirt
and every civilization that arises lasts 1 million years, we could easily be the
only one that happens to be percolating at this particular moment in time.
Where is the J. Allen Hyek UFO Center?
Originally it was located in Evanston, IL but was later moved to Chicago.
Is this a real picture of an alien?
Nope, there is no proof anybody has actually ever seen one... yet
Area 51 does not exist, it is not on any maps, has been denied by the US Government and does not contain any aliens.
It's a top secret location known only by a few high ranking officers and the President.
So it's not in Nevada - 27 miles south of the small town of Rachel NV.
See related link for a image of the not existing area.
What is connection between UFO and pyramids?
historians thought that there were way too many pyramids to all be built by egyptians, so... they thought that the egyptians had help. and by help i mean aliens
How are flying objects propelled?
Something I've noticed is that you have this question in the "UFOs" section. With that being said; A UFO most likely has a less dense metal around the exterior of it, and probably the interior also.
Do I believe in "UFOs" and "other exterrestrials living amongst us?" The answer is yes!
Pertaining to the question, air resistance plays a BIG role in the "propelled" process.
I could babble all day about this question, so I will just leave it be.
What congressman believes in UFOs?
Congressman Dennis Kucinich says he saw a UFO. I also though I heard that President Clinton saw one but I'm not %100 sure on that.
If UFOs exist what does that mean for religion?
Perhaps UFOs are at the very heart of religion. A website that contains a wealth of well- documented information on this question can be found at The Bible UFO Connection website (see related link)
Where is the Triangle located?
