UFOs, the excitement and the mystery that surrounds it, is gigantic in dimensions.

UFOs-Unidentified Flying Object relates to any air borne object which by performances , aerodynamics characteristics or unusual features does not confirm to any presently known aircraft or missile type or which cannot be identified as a familiar object.

US President Jimmy Carter saw one and launched a $20 million inquiry to find out more about it ,Muhammad Ali saw one of the them, millions of responsible have reported UFOs and all have been astonished by strange craft performing inexplicable antics in the sky.

For decades ,people who claimed to have seen UFOs were dismissed as gullible buffoons, yet sightings continue to pour in .In spite of many attempted cover ups by numerous space agency of the world ,its clear by know that the UFOs exist and are perhaps manned by extraterrestrial creatures.

In September 1977, a lawsuit (PIL) was filed in an Arizonian (American) court against CIA with charges that it possessed thousands of documents about its involvement with UFOs and had actively conspired to keep them secret from the public by denying their existence .They won the case and the court directed CIA to make public 10,000 secret papers of which only 900 papers were made public and the rest kept secret sighting National Security. This is enough evidence to prove their existence

We don’t need to think of UFOs as a modern phenomenon , in fact

Scientists and astronomers have been logging inexplicable objects in the skies for centuries. Until man himself learned to fly ,he had no way of knowing what those objects might be .Today ,our own knowledge of space travel opens the way to new interpretations of the old sightings to find some new answers for the most baffling mysteries in the human history.

Millions of people have claimed to seen the flying saucers. A few believe they have had even closer encounters. There are people who suddenly realize they cannot account for a missing phase of their lives. Many relive the lost hours or the days under hypnosis and sensational stories emerge that are really out of this world. The persons have passed lie detector to prove the authenticity of their experience, modern scientific tests positively to prove that they are not bluffing.

Famous scientific authors Charles Berlitz and William Moore claimed that US has with itself many damaged parts of crashed alien spacecraft and perhaps bodies of aliens in secret custody .During 1960s there were wide spread rumour of many alien spacecraft crashing in many parts of the world.

US military chief prevented their pilots and even commercial pilots from speaking about the UFOs to the media, they were threatened with fines and imprisonment and were asked to depart immediately to their authorities on seeing any of the UFOs spacecraft .These were revealed by retired pilots .they were directed to shoot down any unidentified spacecraft where as government continued to deny their presence.

Persons claiming to have encountered UFOs sometimes suffer from radiation diseases and in a few occasions affected by such chemicals not yet known by mankind. A person vanishing from his home town and is found 5000 miles away in a few hours. How would you describe that? Fighter planes vanishing with no wreckage found anywhere , photographs of peculiarly looking flying objects .

Two scientists doing research on UFOs were found dead , perhaps they knew too much. Finally how would reason for the disappearance of $20 million communication satellite Sitcom 3 without any trace. Such powerful radars which can detect beep of cellphone in the moon couldn’t know where there satellite vanished .

Fisherman finding ultra pure magnesium in 1950s claiming to have interacted with the UFOs is equally baffling as the magnesium obtained could only be prepared as late as 1970s.

Some scientists are saying as the UFOs do not obey the general physical and aero dynamical laws they cannot exist and the reports are all hoax calls to hallucination . But they fail to realize that our grate grand father some decades ago were saying that if humans had to fly than God would have given them wings but as that is not the case therefore humans cannot fly. These scientists are also repeating the sequence and their future generation would see a different thing .

Do any of us have the answers to these queries ? The answer is a silent no and it would remain so ,until governments come forward and say the truth, about the mystery of the millennium.
