The truth is out there is a famous quote from the series “The X Files.” Seeing is believing is a cliché most have heard. Apparently, these two statements both apply when it comes to UFOs or Unidentified Flying Objects. UFOs have been spotted throughout the world – United States, United Kingdom, Poland, and even in India.
Stories of alien abductions and paranormal activities are considered hoaxes by most people. However, these pictures raise the possibility that there is life on other planets and not just here on Earth.
“The oldest UFO photograph ever taken” was purchased by Samuel M. Sherman, president of Independent-International Pictures Corp, for $385,000 at an Ebay bidding in 2002. The picture shows a rectangular object flying up in the sky. This was of course a mystery because aviation wasn't popular at the time.
Two incidences in Morristown, New Jersey in 1947 contributed to the possibility that aliens travel in groups. John H. Janssen, an editor of the aviation journal Daily Record, was flying his plane on the morning of July 10, 1947 and witnessed six shining round crafts with hazy rings around them high up in the sky. Two weeks later, on July 23rd in Morristown, Janssen had his second encounter with the spacecrafts.
In 1950s, other countries started submitting their own UFO sightings. Brazil, Australia, Canada, France and Island had encounters with the paranormal that had also been captured on camera.
The 1970s brought us closer to the moon and the other planets. Snapshots from moon expeditions of Apollo 15 and 16 in 1971 and 1972 respectively had glimpses of UFO sightings on the edges of the pictures.
Another paranormal UFO encounter that had been documented on camera was in 1976 in Canary, Island, Spain. Not only had it been photographed, a number of people can verify the sighting because residents in the areas of Tenerife, La Palma and La Gomera had all started seeing unconventional yellowish and bluish lights.
With the aid of technology, cameras improve each year. People’s curiosity and interest on the paranormal are satisfied by the sightings. Not to mention the TV shows and the movies promoting the possibility of these mysteries. Throughout the 80, 90s and the 21st century, pictures are piled up online and can be seen with just a click. The snapshots are clearer and elaborate in detail.
However, these pictures must be verified by paranormal experts, researchers and scientists before they can be deemed factual. With UFO pictures that had been labeled as authentic and people actually seeing them, we’re not far from believing that there are aliens out there and that we aren't alone.

Unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, have been human being’s fascination for decades. They were once documented as divine portents signaling the coming of the end of the world. Only at the end of World War II did scientists take a stance and begin investigating UFO phenomena. It was around this time that the term “UFO” was coined – and, not much later, UFOlogy was born.
UFOlogy, or the study of UFOs, seeks to investigate the identity and technology of sky apparitions which move fast, have bright lights, and yet can't be identified or traced to any known earthly object. UFOlogy isn't an academic research program, but it has been supported, to some extent by research institutions interested in astrobiology, or life on other planets; as well as intelligence agencies from countries such as Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union.
Thanks to popular books such as Chariots of the Gods, and TV shows such as The X-files, UFOlogy has since been tied with other fields such as occultism, or the study of the occult and the supernatural; cryptozoology, or the study of creatures whose existence and origin are uncertain; and parapsychology, the scientific investigation of paranormal phenomena.
An elementary concept of UFOlogy is UFO categorization. A typical classification scheme may include the following basic aspects:
• UFO shape – is the object shaped like a saucer, triangle, dome, or is it an amorphous mass?
• UFO appearance – did it appear in the morning, or at night?
• UFO effects – what happened after the UFO appeared? Was the ground burned? Did people nearby get sick?
A categorization scheme called the Hynek system divides UFO phenomena into six categories, with proximity first, followed by subdivision of special features of the sighting:
• Nocturnal lights, or objects seen at night
• Daylight discs, or objects seen in the daytime
• Radar or Visuals, or objects seen both by eyewitnesses and radar
• Close Encounter 1: UFO sighting without physical interaction
• Close Encounter 2: UFO sighting with electromagnetic interference (cars breaking down, compasses failing, or electronic equipment shutting off)
• Close Encounter 3: UFO occupants or entities are seen or interacted with by eyewitnesses
A more precise classification scheme is the Vallee system, which looks at UFO shapes, sighting locations, and secondary objects in greater detail. Recent investigations have also looked into the physical evidence accompanying UFO sightings, such as radar contact with the craft, burned landing sites or ground impressions, cattle mutilation, and even sickness in eyewitnesses.
UFOlogy, though a young science, may be an interesting field to pursue, if only for the excitement that comes with discovery.
