Alien Abduction
On March 9th, The Washington Post published an article describing multiple mysterious occurrences between the Military, specifically, U.S Navy F-18 fighters and unidentified objects and released two declassified videos from the Defence Department of the events occuring. Personally, I wholeheartedly believe extraterrestrial life exists vastly throughout the Universe, yet, intelligent alien life exists but is less common. I believe intelligent alien life and, moreover, alien abductions exist due to various reasons such as how extensive the history of alien abductions date back to, renowned scientists and their popular theory that thoroughly supports alien life, modern-day events that involved alien abduction and finally, various …show more content…

This theory contains the three main schools of thought. Firstly, that aliens bred with our primitive forebearers and thus, creating the modern man. The second, quite similar, is that aliens preformed genetic engineering on apes and thereby creating Homosapiens and our intelligence. Thirdly, that we are the product of aliens who inhabited Earth. Additionally, it claims aliens came down from space as “astronauts” and made contact with humans in prehistoric times. Supporters of this theory involve Erich von Däniken, Zecharia Sitchin, Charles Fort and Robert K. G. …show more content…

According to a post on Skepdic.com, one user calculated that, for reference, that “The next nearest star to Earth's sun (Alpha Centauri) is about 4 light-years away. That might sound close, but it is actually something like 24 trillion miles away. Even traveling at one million miles an hour, it would take more than 2,500 years to get there. To get there in under thirty years would require traveling at more than 100 million miles an hour for the entire trip. Even our fastest spacecraft, Voyager, which travels 40,000 miles an hour, would take 72,000 years to get to Alpha Centauri.” Skeptics claim that there is no possibility, unless through travelling at a speed significantly faster than the speed of light, there is no way aliens - if they were to exist- would be able to achieve interplanetary travel the ways we describe it to be like. However, the famous Roswell UFO incident of 1947 discredits this claim because it proves that UFOs exist and thus, alien interplanetary travel can be achieved but the technology to attain this feat is currently light-years beyond what we
