With more and more planets being discovered everyday isn’t it a little narcissistic of us to believe that we are the only planet that can sustain life. With movies like Star Wars, and Star Trek the thought of extraterrestrials are becoming more mainstream. However there are still many people who don’t believe.
Throughout history there has been countless reports of U.F.O sightings. One of the first accounts is from the annals of Thutmose III who ruled around 1504-1450 B.C. The Egyptian papyrus states that "The scribes of the House of Life found it was a circle of fire that was coming in the sky. It had no head, the breath of its mouth had a foul odor. Its body one rod long and one rod wide had no voice.
Now after some days had passed, these things became more numerous in the skies than ever. They shone more in the sky than the brightness of the sun, and extended to the limits of four supports of the heavens. Powerful was the position of the fire circles. Thereupon, these fire circles ascended higher in the sky towards the south…. “ This excerpt is an example of a man trying to explain something he has no prior knowledge of.
This was written centuries before the first airplane. What could they have possibly seen in the sky that was “one rod long and wide, and had no voice.” Obviously it wasn’t a bird, or a plane. So how logically can you dispute this to be anything other than a U.F.O. I suppose writer could be hallihuating, or maybe it was just a bad dream. This sighting however do not stand alone. In Italy 216 B.C it was written that there were “things like ships in the sky over the city. 90 B.C it was reported that “a globe of fire, fell to the earth, gyrating. It then rose from the earth, and ascended into the sky, whe...

This paper will prove it will remain unknown if the Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) crash sighting at Roswell, New Mexico on July 4th, 1947 did happen, although the government is hiding Extraterrestrial information there. The following is a list of terms that may become confusing to some readers.
There are many people throughout Arizona that say that they saw what is being called the Phoenix lights. Officials received calls and reports of the sighting from as far south as Tucson to the Northwestern reaches of Kingman. Dozens of people videotaped the action that was taking place, and a few even said that they saw the boomerang shaped UFO fly overhead before the sightings. News crews covered as many witnesses as they could find, trying to reveal some sort of clarity or explanation to what was seen to set every mind at ease. The most conclusive evidence of a UFO sighting came from a family that CNN interviewed and made their cover story.
Around June 25th, 1947 a pilot, Ken Arnold had reported strange objects in the sky while flying near Mt. Rainer, Washington. He stated that they flew like "saucers being skipped over water." This was where the term "Flying Saucers" derived from. The Roswell UFO Incident all started on the evening of July 3, 1947, Dan Wilmot and his wife were sitting on their front porch when they saw the distinct shape of a saucer flying through the sky. A few days prior to this sighting, military radar in the area was tracking an Unidentified Flying Object for four days. On Independence Day the radar indicated that the object had gone down about 30-40 miles Northwest of Roswell. A few days after the actual sighting from the Wilmot's, W.W. Brazel, the Foreman of the J.B. Foster Ranch went to check on his sheep after some intense thunderstorms the night prior. He happened to discover a very large amount of debris of an unknown metallic substance scattered throughout the field. It was also stated that he stumbled across a shallow trench in the ground that stretched hundreds of feet. Brazel would gather some of this debris to show family and friends. A few days after he would contact sheriff Wilcox of Chaves County. Once Wilcox had the information he needed, he contacted the Roswell Army Air Force Base, where Major Jessie Marcel was briefed to look int...
A number of weeks ago, I saw online this exact video which not just caught my eye, but also millions of people’s attention as well. This U.F.O. sighting shows a light hovering above the Dome of The Rock, in Jerusalem, Israel. This location is known as arguably one of the holiest sites in the history of the world according to both Judaism and Islam. Not only did the object hover, but it displayed a flash-like strobe light and sped upwards towards space afterwards. After viewing this video clip on the internet, I, a skeptic who does not believe in the concept of U.F.O.’s began to think that perhaps this was credible.
Finding life in our solar system could potentially answer the questions humanity has been asking for thousands of years. Sarah Seager, a professor at MIT, mentioned some of these thought provoking questions, “why are we here? Why does our universe exist? How did Earth form and evolve? How and why did life originate and populate our planet?” Answers to these questions could give humanity a deeper understanding of who we are and what our place in the universe is. Steven Dick believes that humanity has “… deep psychological yearnings for companionship, superior wisdom, or ‘an ineradicable desire to see the skies filled with life’.” Those opposed may argue that a biological universe will have little effect on humanity’s understanding of our place in the universe because a biological universe simply does not exist. One may argue that life is exceedingly complex and the odds of conditions being just right for the production and the sustainment of life are slim. Our civilization may have managed to beat the odds, but many its unlikely to for this to occur elsewhere in our solar system. The proof to back this argument is the N =1 equation. The only solid evidence we have proves that only one planet has beaten these insurmountable odds and produced life. While this argument makes logical sense, relying solely on evidence we have at the moment, takes our focus away from the
Some time in July of 1947, a mysterious flying object zigzagged across the skies of New Mexico. Within twenty-four hours the object disappeared from radar just as mysteriously as it had appeared. It was last seen in a small town in the middle of the Arizona desert, it’s name, Roswell.
... be made in opposition, you're probably thinking, “They are prototype Military Aircraft” or “They were nothing but hoaxes”. While I am sure that many of them are secret craft and Hoaxes. I must ask you do you really believe that our Military would field a strange hieroglyphic Acorn flying through the sky only for it to strangely crash? Or a group of Teenage pranksters somehow built a catapult that launched a huge metal Acorn across 6 different states? With this in mind surely it is not hard to believe that: Aliens, Do, Exist.
Is there such thing as life outside of Earth? The building blocks of life are carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. Those ingredients condense to form all living things, new stars and even new planets! So, who’s to say those ingredients didn’t form other life on other planets? Think about how vast outer space is. There are millions and millions of other planets, stars and galaxies! It’s not that far out there to think that there might be other life in space, in fact, some people even have stone hard evidence that supports the idea of “aliens”. I personally believe there is such thing as extraterrestrials, and I believe they have visited earth before. As a child, I remember my dad and I would sit around all afternoon watching alien documentaries or shows about people hunting aliens and searching for UFOs. When it comes to aliens people have so many questions; have aliens been to earth before? Are they currently living on earth? Are they controlling us? Does the government know? If so, are they hiding it from the public? There are so many questions you can ask but, in order to answer them, you have to
In this paper, I will discuss a scenario of an alien civilization coming to earth in peace but, offers all humanity a cure for all diseases especially cancer in exchange of 10,000 involuntary human subjects for their own possibly lethal experiments on whether it is right or wrong. There are three different individuals which are an Ethic Relativist, Rule Utilitarian, and Act Utilitarian who haves their own opinion when it comes to this scenario and whether it is morally correct to exchange 10,000 human beings against their will for a cure of all human diseases in the world. Through the controversy of a relativist determining that there no morals values for any cultures that have their own rules and not intervene with other cultures and a utilitarian

Undoubtedly, with over 10 000 cases, the sheer amount of reported UFO sightings and abductions is startling. In July 1947, an airborne object crashed on a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. Rancher Mac Braezel examined the debris which appeared to be mostly metallic and plastic scraps. However, it was damaged beyond identification of its origin. He brought some of the material to his neighbours who attempted burning it, cutting it, and yet, it would not be damaged. They also tried bending it, too which it would dent momentarily before peculiarly molding back to its original form. Mac hurriedly contacted the local sheriff, who then, in disbelief, contacted two military officers to the debris field, also in dubiety, they brought some of the material they had found to the Roswell Army Air Base. Shortly thereafter, another local along with some students on an expedition, discovered a disk-shaped aircraft about two miles from the debris field, which had four small humanoid bodies scattered around its vicinity....
Unidentified Flying Objects: Fact or Fiction? Unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, as they're fondly called, are one of the century's most intriguing and controversial mysteries. Since ancient times, UFOs of all types have been accounted for. More today than ever, hundreds of thinkers, theologians, and scientists have tried to answer why there are or whether there aren't UFOs. According to some, the speculation that UFOs are alien spacecrafts from another world is an absurd and foolish proposal.
He and a group of other pilots saw a UFO, and after a quick chase only he followed the aircraft. Contact was lost and the next time he was heard from, he was unfortunately dead in an apparent plane crash. The UFO was then confirmed to be a weather balloon, but this doesn’t make sense. As someone who went on many missions for the United States during World War II, Thomas Mantell, the pilot, would have had a fair amount of knowledge on different air crafts from every country. He would not confuse a weather balloon for a UFO.
Ever since we started the space exploration, many thoughts of the extra terrestrial have risen. Whether you believe the extra terrestrial to be cryptids or not, there is evidence to suggest that they are real. By definition an ‘alien’ is “a foreigner, especially one who is not a naturalized citizen of the country where they are living”. In this essay, I am mainly going to be talking about aliens from space. The evidence for them to be real is that not everything has to be carbon based to be alive, humans have only been on earth for a short while, and that the universe is too vast for humans to be the only species.
To conclude, there are no solid facts on the existence of extra-terrestrials. Whether or not they exist will, until definite proof is brought forward, be a topic of major debate. Personally I believe that there is something out there-although what it is I wouldn't hazard a guess.
