Alien invasion has been on the minds of many, and it is not something to take lightly. Aliens are real, the United States government has confirmed this, and these craft may be even closer than some claim. Unexplainable UFO sightings have been on the rise, popularized with the crash at Roswell, and they are not going anywhere. The fact that aliens are involved in these sightings is indisputable, but there are people who refuse to accept the truth. Many people state that Area 51 is just a “military base” and Roswell was just a spy balloon crash, but there is proof that there are aliens involved in both Area 51 and Roswell.
The art of writing is a complex and difficult process. Proper writing requires careful planning, revision, and proofreading. Throughout the past semester, the quality of my writing has evolved significantly. At first, I struggled with the separation of different types of paragraphs, and I found writing them laborious.

As a collegiate writer, my strength lies in my clear understanding of the fundamentals of writing, while my primary weakness is proofreading my own work.
One might be lead to believe that after all of these hundreds of years, aliens would have been seen in the flesh instead of floating over the Earth’s atmosphere for all this time. The point is, there has not been one single sighting of an extraterrestrial in person after all these centuries and because we have not seen one single alien being in person all the way up to this point, there is no way they exist.
Does life exist on other planets besides Earth? Has extraterrestrial life visited Earth recently or in our distant past? The notion of extraterrestrial life is a very intriguing subject possibly for as long as mankind has looked into the vast heavens gazing at the stars. Can one say that life on Earth was done by Mother Nature which some call evolution? Is life on Earth the result of creation or alteration by a higher power or being? Some people do believe that other forms of life except those on Earth do exist. Others consider it false because there is no absolute proof beyond doubts. There have been countless occurrences by individuals around the world of either being contacted or abducted by alien life forms.

We live in a universe that is about 46 billion light years old. In a world, as massive as ours there must be some form of extraterrestrial life out in the galaxy. For thousands of years ancient peoples, such as the Greeks, have wondered the same question. Are we alone? As our technology advances, things such as videos and photographs are surfacing of people claiming to see such alien life. Whether it is an unidentified flying object, or if it’s from someone claiming to see an actual alien, there are thousands of people that believe they have seen proof. Some also claim that the government is hiding things behind our backs, like the Roswell UFO incident for example. Though many people refuse to believe in the existence of alien life forms until they see evidence, the fact that multitudes of people have eye-witness accounts, the improbability that we are alone, and the idea that we have thought of aliens so long, bring forth the evidence that proves something is out there.
Area 51 Do aliens exist? Do humans have any communication with aliens? Area 51 is hiding information from us: Information that might prove that life on other planet exists. We all have heard about the “strange things that happen in the Area 51,” we have watched it on the TV, read it in books, and on the internet. Area 51 is popular for the secret activities that the government has been hiding from the public.
During the 1600s John winthrop wrote in his diary that he and some others seen a light in the sky flying around. Another well known UFO sighting was in 1947, when Kenneth Arnold claimed to see one near mount Rainier. Looks like E.T.’s friends have been visiting us for a long time.

“Extraordinary encounter have been reported for as long as human beings have been around, and they are richly documented in the world’s folklore and mythology(xi Clark,Jerome).” So are aliens and UFOs real or are they fake. The human society of the United States of America does not say. From our new technological advances we may be able to prove differently. UFO’s and aliens may be proven by many types of evidence. Some questions that come to mind may be; what is the public’s unknowing about aliens and UFOs’? Are there agencies that support the existence of UFOs’ and Aliens?

There are many reasons to believe why aliens exist; strange phone calls, UFO sightings, and abductions are few of the reasons why. First, it started off with people seeing UFO’s. The first reported UFO sighting was on 1947 in Washington (“History of UFO’s). A UFO is an unidentified flying object and anyone can see one anywhere at anytime.
For half a century the subject of UFO has been discussed by scientists, ecologists, politicians, and common people around the world. It seems paradoxical, but the main question of their discussion concerns existence or non-existence of UFO itself, so many people is not sure that the very subject of their debate really exists. I share the opinion of those who do not believe in UFO saying that this phenomenon has not been scientifically proved, and everything its adherents operates is conjecture and fantasy, and disconnected stories of those who allegedly have seen UFO are far from scientific explanation of the event.
