The Roswell incident may as well be “the event” that has aroused the interest and the curiosity of people on the possibility of alien life forms mainly due to the widely believed major cover up done by the United States government. Rumors of autopsies done on extra-terrestrial beings authorized by government units and the abrupt transfers and disappearances of people involved in the incident stirred up the suspicions about an intentional government cover up. Moreover the media has added to this growing excitement by gathering testimonies of locals who claim to have seen an unusually shaped flying object at the same time as the discovery of extraordinary debris on a ranch.
The local police initially thought that the debris scattered across the ranch could be somehow be connected with the military operations done by the Roswell Army Field. However, the local paper had an altogether different perspective. The headlines announced that the debris found were the remains of a flying saucer. After releasing the initial press release that indeed a flying disk was discovered, a second press release tried to put a stop to the speculation on the “UFO” story by reporting that it was a weather balloon.
For thirty years, the Roswell incident slumbered as the general public accepted the government’s side of the story putting to rest the excitement generated by the possibility of an alien aircraft containing alien life forms. It wasn't until 1978 when two researchers by the names Stanton Friedman and William Moore gathered a new series of interviews which supported the rumored cover up story done by the government. Interviews with Lydia Sleppy and Retired Colonel Jesse Marcel revealed that the FBI had prevented the news of “the crashed flying disk with bodies” from reaching the radio stream. In addition to this groundbreaking news, the testimony of retired Air Force Brigadier General Arthur Exon had said that while being stationed at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base he came across the shipment of a strange material which was very thin and lightweight. The metal was impossible to bend or be damaged in any way. He had a strong conviction that “Roswell was the recovery of a craft from space” (according to Exon’s testimony).
It comes as no surprise that as much as the supporters of the existence of UFOs and aliens express fervor and passion, the critics have done their part to discredit published testimonies labeling them as second-hand information and from not so credible sources. The truth behind this phenomenon is still indiscernible but one can't deny the contribution of such a splendid idea to man’s imagination.
Aside from the visual UFO sightings, there are reported cases that documented direct or indirect physical encounters. These are evidences, which came from credible sources like the military and different government agencies that have gathered factual data to support the recorded testimonies of those people claiming that they had close encounters with UFOs.
The indirect physical encounters are considered as evidences that are documented from distant sightings. They were captured though visual images or were detected from radars. On the other hand, the direct physical encounters are evidences that are documented from close encounters or through physical interactions with aliens and unknown life forms. They are categorically high-level evidences, which are described from similar patterns and formats on how they were sighted.
The Hyneks system and the Vallee’s “Type-1” system classify evidences according to the documentation and description of objects that include spacecrafts landing traces, physiological and environmental effects. The Vallee system is considered to be more descriptive especially when it comes to the accounted behavioral aspects of UFOs. Type-1 of this classification involves observing and investigating unknown objects. They can be spherical disk shaped crafts that leave traces on the ground. Traces may have accounted for thermal, mechanical and biological effects on the surroundings.
Type-II includes observation of unrecognized objects that are seen on the sky, geometrically cylindrical in daylight. These sightings are popularly known as cloud-spheres or cloud-cigars. A craft also moves in different directions in the sky or over the oceans and seas. Aliens are also seen and they appear to show interest to eyewitnesses by using bright lights as their signals.
Type III descriptions include observations of objects that are stationary in the sky. They hover between intervals of motion like a pendulum in motion. There are also interrupted simultaneous flights that hover and then continue movement. Some even change their lightings and generate more light to the satellites. Their trajectories obtain visible appearances while in the sky and then they suddenly slow down, circling a particular area.
Some of these descriptive evidences have been shown in several documentations. However, phenomenons are explainable and are said to be natural or artificially made phenomenons. The controversial fractions are considered unidentified, but until they prove their authenticity, they will not be considered as aliens. These investigations of the reported cases have initial findings but they remain to be inconclusive or unexplainable.
It may take the world many years before UFOs will be proven as real. It is up to you whether to believe or not in these unidentified creatures. Science will never stop until they are able to answer all the questions you may have about these unidentified objects.
