With a quick search and a few keystrokes, one can easily ascertain that UFO sightings are on the increase world-wide... or are they? Perhaps they have been seen all along, but we chose a close-minded society in the past *not* to report them. After all, who would we report it too without being hauled off to the loony bin?
Could it be that society today has grown more acceptable of the otherworldy? Thus allowing a comfort zone for people to report a sighting as where in years past they would have been more hesitant to do so. There are more entities now than ever to report those 'lights in the sky'.
1947 Roswell New Mexico
Locals witness an object falling from the sky. In their hearts, they know it isn't a fallen plane, nor is it a meteorite. Some folks venture to where they believe the object crashed, only to be greeted and turned away by the military. Others have beat the military to the site, and claim that what they saw could not have come from this world. How can so many witnesses, that don't even know each other, collaborate the same story?
It is later explained away by the government as a weather balloon. Years later, when the debate would not go away as easily as the government would have liked, a new story is presented to us. The purported 'weather balloon' was actually a secret military project called 'Project MOGUL'. The debate on what actually happened burns white hot until this very day, and I suspect it always will.
After the Roswell incident, reports increased, but one must question if that necessarily means that sightings have increased.
Back in the late 1400s early 1500s we have a master artist by the name of Leonardo da Vinci. One of his works was entitled The Madonna and Saint Giovannino. If you look closely at the painting, in the background you will see an object in the sky. Look even closer than that, you will see a witness standing on a cliff looking up at the object with curiosity. What had da Vinci encountered, or what knowledge did he have, that could have possibly driven him to paint this scene?
Let us travel back even further to 10000 - 4000 B.C. Archeologists all over the world from Italy, Japan, all the way to Mexico have discovered everything from cave paintings to decorative plates that some say depict extraterrestrials and UFOs. Some even whisper that Stonehenge could not have been constructed without the help of aliens.
In the end, when all the pictures, videos, artifacts are presented in hopes of finding the ground breaking evidence or writing the ground breaking article that the government will accept as ultimate proof, it may just be that the government could be researching ways to prepare us for the possibility of life beyond this planet.
According to a recent series of articles written by Dr. Michael E. Salla PhD, a recent U.N. meeting took place that discussed extraterrestrials and how to deal with the situation. More importantly how we as a people would deal with the situation.
Nontheless, until an extraterrestrial walks up to us, extends his or her hand in greeting, and says "Hello, my name is Irkleborg, and I am from the planet Gerblock" all we can do is try our best to educate the public with our research and writing. As I always try to do, I will leave it up to you the reader to decide.
