People See Ufos Are They Real

UFO sightings are everywhere not only once but several times people in the Philippines and places around the world see strange lights and crafts flying, floating and maneuvering in the skies in the night and daytime.But people who see them always have the question in the mind, Are UFOs Real? We can't blame them asking that question though they themselves have personal encounters with the unidentified flying objects.I remember one time, my mother approached me after her encounter with a flying disk hovering above her for a couple of minutes and she asked me my opinion about it. She described the object with multi-colored lights at the bottom and it is round-shaped object. The flying disk suddenly shoot itself at a great speed leaving no trace in the night skies.I tried to explain to her what she saw, and I told her it could be an alien ship because no one in the Philippines has a flying ship like that and who among Filipinos could fly a strange object with great speed that could abruptly disappear from sight.An investigator of this phenomenon said even we identified these objects but still we can't explain their existence, it's flying and it's an object, it's still a UFO.William J. Konkolesky, Michigan director of the Mutual UFO network (MUFON), a non-profit group of volunteers, said that UFOs are real.Konkolesky declared the real existence of the UFOs and Extra-Terrestrials when he spoke during the 5th Annual Boys Night In program at the Monroe county Library system's Ellis reference and Information Center."That's a pretty bold statement to make, but what is a UFO but an unidentified flying object? If you see something up in the sky and you don't know what it is, it's a UFO," Konkolesky said. Mr. Konkolesky, a Clawson resident, noted that people have been seeing unexplained things in the skies since ancient times. Those sightings have been chronicled in art from as far back as the year 700 and even in cave paintings from before 7000 BC.He discussed some of the most celebrated cases, from the reported crash of a UFO near Roswell, New Mexico -- first reported to be a flying saucer and then discounted as a weather balloon - to the lights seen near Hillsdale in 1966 that Air Force investigators declared was "swamp gas."Konkolensky confirmed that The Michigan MUFON chapter gets about two dozen reports a year, most of them involving "lights streaking across the sky," he said. He said the planet Venus, low on the horizon, also often is reported as a UFO.One of the latest reports to Michigan MUFON occurred on September 29, 2004 when a Milford man said he saw something "bigger than a football field" moving slowing across the field near his home.Earlier in the morning, many people reported seeing strange lights near Detroit Metropolitan Airport, though airport radar detected no craft.Later, the same Milford man, whom Mr. Konkolesky described as a credible witness, said he saw a "wedge-shaped object, kind of like a fat horseshoe, flying through the sky." He said it was about the size of a car and it landed in his backyard before then alighting and flying away."So far, we're still looking into that and we can't explain it either," Mr. Konkolesky said.Mr. Konkolesky told The Evening News that he believes extraterrestrials have visited earth "because of what I've seen and haven't been able to explain." When he was 18, he and some friends traveling in a car witnessed a strange light whizzing overhead. After that, he got involved in MUFON, he said.But he acknowledged that many people report sightings that are common objects that they just haven't seen before or haven't seen under a certain set of circumstances.He asked his audience why they thought aliens would even want to visit earth."Maybe they want to see what we do to have fun, like baseball," said Patrick Mulpas, 11, of Monroe.Do you think aliens would attack us?" Jarid Riggs asked Konkolesky."I would think that if they wanted to attack us, they would have done it a long time ago," he said. "They probably would have already done it if they had bad intentions."Investigations about the existence of the UFOs and the extraterrestrials continue, although probers were convinced that many sightings and encounters are real and they are out of this world, humans still need the evidence to prove that everything is real.In the Philippines, though UFO sightings were reported, a team of UFO investigators failed to dig deeper into these cases and mostly they conclude beliefs about alien existence are baseless.
