I personally have seen 2 UFO's but why does the government have cover-ups on the subject?

I believe that they exist.  I believe that I have seen one, although the very nature of "Unidentified" makes it difficult for me to ascertain whether I have or not.\n\nOne night when I was camping, I saw what I thought was a formation of three planes flying across the sky at a rather low altitude.  I thought nothing more of it, until two of them STOPPED and hovered while the third one continued on.  It was quiet enough and close enough that had it been helicopters, I would have heard the chop of the rotors and engine, but all I heard was a very soft whirring, and no chop at all.\n\nSince that night (when I was 14), I've believed they exist.  I think Ezekiel saw UFO's too, as documented in the biblical book bearing his name.\n\nDo I think there's a government conspiracy?  No.  I think there just isn't enough evidence to warrant spending a lot of national resources on such a thing.  If we devoted resources to that, we'd have to cut the funding on the study of cow flatulence and its effects on the environment and global warming.

Dear USA Hater,\nGet your information straight before asking a question. There have been many UFO sightings in Britain, the former Soviet Union and South America that I'm aware of. I'm sure the countries you've mentioned have had sightings well.

There are a relatively small number of people that believe that the NASA moon landings were faked.  They do have quite a number of points that support their arguments.  Of course, all of these points have been responded to and all of their points have been debunked.\n\nThere will always be people who believe in vast conspiracies that require the combined silence of hundreds (or at least dozens) of people.  These same people often contend that the government is run by a bunch of idiots who couldn't find their rear ends with both hands and a map.  It can't be both.  Either the government is a group of super-secret geniuses or a bunch of bureaucrats who can't do most things properly or efficiently.  I believe it is the later.\n\nThere is no conspiracy except by the companies who lobby Congress to get money for their projects.

i think most UFO sightings and phenomena have been federal agencies like NASA doing tests and joint testing programs with private companies like Lockheed and Halliburton. you have to consider the fact that there are weapons and weapons testing that go awry and/or of the likes of things that we've never seen. i'm sure the government and other private agencies create/invent all kinds of things and have to test them... and sometimes these tests end up being seen by the general public. and when that happens, there's a cover up, and things are kept confidential.\n\nIf aliens have made contact by now, they would be quite advanced and i don't believe that they would let just fly over rural areas and be haphazardly/accidentally be seen by the public. \n\nOne assessment that could be true: maybe they already made contact, saw how primitive our technology is (we haven't been able to send humans past our own moon and we're still waging war against one another with nuclear weapons...) and decided to leave us alone because they didn't want to interfere with our evolution/progress.\n\nno alien contact until we can solve our own problems.\n\nso to answer your question: nah, probably not... those agencies are too busy figuring weapons that will allow us to destroy one another.

No aliens, no UFO, unless you consider top secret aircraft *designed* by human beings of this planet -- which are flown only at night so they will not be identified -- as UFO.\n\nIf aliens from outer space had come to Earth, they would have had the technology to not be captured in the first place; and they could have gathered all the info they would have needed from orbit anyway.\n\nArea 51 is secret because there are captured airplane from other countries in there; and the US government does not want anyone -- especial the foreign governments -- to know what they know about them.\n\nBut flying saucers?  No way.

Since "UFO" means unidentified flying object, there is really no answer.  Once you believe that something is from outer space, it would not be a UFO any longer.\n\nHaving said that, there is a principle called "Occam's razor."  This principle states that if different theories agree with observations, then the theory with the most simple assumptions is the one that should be chosen.\n\nBecause "Flying Saucers" require many assumptions, such as faster that light travel, ET's, technology we are unaware of, this theory violates Occam's razor. \nSo the best theory is that UFOs are simply hoaxes, delusions, or misinterpretations of natural phenomena.\n\nIf ET's did want us to know of them, I don't beleive anyone would be able to supress that knowlwdge.  If aliens did not want us to know about them, then they would not do bizarre things, like make crop circles, return people who had witnessed them doing their surgeries, mutilate livestock.\n\nOnce, I was with someone who was seeing a "UFO."  It turned out to be an unlit streetlamp reflecting other lights.

There was just a program on the Learning Channel about the UFOs in Illinois.  Triangular shaped craft, seen by many in the law enforcement community.  It was a 1/2 hour long documentary.  Yes, there is a Santa Claus............

...people are short sighted..most cannot believe what they cannot explain..for those that say that UFOs are not real...very sad...they have closed their minds to endless possibilities..truly if UFOs are here..and stay on earth..they would no doubt have the best chance of never being discovered if they were in the oceans whether it be on the ocean floor or below the crusts as some have even speculated..I would bet money on the ocean..we dont really know a whole lot about the oceans..

Fact 1 - UFOs have been recorded through the history of mankind, paintings on cave walls..drawings..carvings.. paintings on canvas, they have been photographed, recorded on video and digitally captured. \nFact 2 - Ther are thousands and thousands of wittnesses to these crafts that have increadible speed and can manouver in a way we could only hope to achive.\n\nFact 3 - There are governments that are comming clean and revealing the once classified information on UFOs. (Russia, Mexico, Brazil..hopefully Canada soon) Why would they be classified if they were not real?\n\nFact 4 - There are many documented cases involving commercial airliners and military aircraft as well, that have had encounters and even chased these crafts on numerous occasions. \n\nFact 5 - I have been a wittness on many occasions in my lifetime so far...I have seen many different objects and crafts..They are real..I can say I know..and I would stake my life it!! that is how positiive I am.

the interesting thing is when you examine both of the stories...If there were aliens that crashed in Rosewell, then it makes sense that the government would put forth some type of a more credable story then the weather balloon one. If there really was a weather balloon crash in Rosewell, then there wouldn't have been such a big deal made out of the whole thing... That would lead one to the conclusion that, whatever it was that crashed in Rosewell was of some importance to the government. I would believe that it was a secret millitary test flight that went awry. What other theories are there?

Area 51 is the place where the new projects of planes are developed and tested.That is the explanation for the many sitings in that area.There are older cases in wich the so called "invisible planes" were tested and the were reported by public as UFO's.We cannot say precisely if there are aliens held or not...only your brain can give an answer to that!U have to analise for yourself and put the facts in balance.Why do u think that there are aliens and the havent shown themselfs to all the people everywhere?What could be their reasons?It could be more simple just to hover their crafts over cities from time tot time and after a while to come down among us...that if they would have any interest in comunicating with us.All i can think is that ufo's are (or at least most of them) just experimental or secret flying machines from different goverments.That is my opinion evem if i have experienced a couple of years ago some strange and until now unexplained fenomenons.Please excuse my mistakes in writing...it is just that english is not my native language(Romanian is...).

There are to many far ranging reports from almost every country in this world for it not to be true. Another thing is no one really understand what causes that to happen to a human being. And that is why they really keeps the world in the dark about that subject..............

No..but if you are lucky enough to actually witness their technology..: UFO/disc/sphere/..etc..it certainly closes any doubt involving the questioning of the existence of extraterrestrials. I have been witness several occasions..day and night to objects in the sky..I certainly wasn't looking for them..I just happen to look up at the right times..but perhaps in the near future if we are lucky ..we can get more governments throughout the world to come clean..and fill us in..on what many believe and some even know...that we are not alone..here or the universe

There are tons of stuff the government keeps from the public.I think its a conspiracy.

I don't know were you have been but there have been reported UFOs and crashes all over the world.Oh yeah no one here thinks Michael Moore, Jerry Springer,or professional wrestling is for real. I have had trouble trying to convert Oprah fans though.

I do believe military intelligence have some evidence of possible contact . Sadly the subject has been treated as a joke by the tabloid media with terms like" little green men ". The best books i have read on the subject are by Timothy Good and Nick Pope. Millions of dollars have been spent on various projects investigating UFOs and is treated as a issue of security  and there's hundreds of expert witnesses like the cases involving objects seen over military installations . Some could be black projects new stealth technology but there still leaves a percentage that cant be simply explained away in my opinion  the subject should be treated a little bit more seriously.

Well..the governments certainly are not too worried about ALL the sightings throughout the world..You would think an invasion of airspace would alert the militaries..it doesn't.\n\nYes it is a trend I would like to see continue..\n\nHaving been wittness to many sightings..I know and believe these to be from another world. They have been around through the history of mankind...and we cannot compare to the abilities of theses crafts..\nPerhaps a mass awakening is in order..then the truth will finally be known to the world...something many of us already know to be the truth.
