Is The Truth About UFOs Out There?
Over the past several years, U.S. Navy pilots have reported several instances of unexplained aerial phenomena while in flight. Theyve recorded videos that show shapes that appear to move in unusual ways, zooming and turning in ways beyond the capabilities of our own aircraft. After several members of Congress requested an explanation for the videos, the government put together a report on the phenomena. The report, however, doesnt definitively answer the question of what the observations show. While it does say that the observations arent of secret U.S. technology, it has no conclusions on whether the reports show foreign technology, camera artifacts, or something elselike alien technology. Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, spends his time searching for signs of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. He says that while he does believe intelligent alien life existsand may even be discovered within the next 20 years or sohe does not think the sightings included in the government report indicate alien visitors. He shares his reasons for skepticism with host Sophie Bushwick, as well as talks about peoples desire to believe in extraterrestrials. Further Reading
