The Covering of UFO Information by U.S Officials The possibility of life outside of our own planet has been boggling the minds of the human race for more years than anyone can truly know, however in the summer of 1947 new information made these already known suspicions even more apparent. A leery encounter with what a local farmer would identify as a UFO would quickly arise complications with the government and mysterious men who would threaten his family if any knowledge of this got out. These men would later coin the name “The Men in Black” due to their odd task of making sure no extraterrestrial information reached the public. The importance of these unexplainable men and their habits come to the surface when you truly begin to realize …show more content…
This equation would later be known simply as the Drake equation. As he describes all you need to do to determine life is to take the rate at which stars form in our galaxy and multiply it with the fraction of stars with planets, the average number of stars with planets that could potentially support life, the fraction of those that actually develop life, the fraction of life bearing planets that develop civilization, the fraction of civilized planets that have detectable signals, and finally the length of time a civilization might last. This all seems more easily said than done, and it was (Bennett, Jeffrey O). When first researching this equation many of the factors were not known, however now we actually have a pretty decent idea on what each of those numbers could be in our galaxy and these numbers are expected to be even more definite each year as our knowledge keeps growing. In fact, we know that most stars have planets and, judging off of our own atmosphere, the ability to sustain life on those planets are much higher than you’d expect. Even crazier than that? Scientist estimate about 100 billion possible life sustaining planets in our galaxy alone using the Drake equation. We also know that in 1995 the very first confirmed exoplanet was found. An exoplanet by definition is: “a planet that orbits a star outside of our solar system.” This planet is called 51 Pegasi b, but since its discovery astronauts were able to find hundreds and then thousands of others just like it. Discovering just how many exoplanets are in our solar system, as stated before, is nearly impossible. Scientists expect that each and every star in our milky way is home to about 1.6 orbiting planets. Nonetheless this is not the only equation we have to base our studies off of. Another scientist chose a different route in her research for extraterrestrial life (HEC:
It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, or killed. A flight instructor, of all people, and two students decided it would be a good idea to go on a spree of buzzing cars on the freeway during the night, while attempting to look like a UFO. Their luck eventually ran out, however, when they struck power lines stretching across the freeway during a night of UFO mischief.
The event that kick-started more than a half century of conspiracy theories surrounding unidentified flying objects UFOs. Something did crash at Roswell, New Mexico, sometime before July 7, 1947 and at first the US authorities stated explicitly that this was a flying saucer or disk. Numerous witnesses reported seeing metallic debris scattered over a wide area and at least one reported seeing a blazing craft crossing the sky shortly before it crashed. In recent years, witnesses have added significant new details, including claims of a large military operation dedicated to recovering alien craft and aliens themselves, at as many as 11 crash sites, and alleged
The mysterious appearances of UFO’s in Roswell, New Mexico have had a ripple effect on many people. These ‘’ripples’’ are peoples thoughts and ideas on the occurrence of the events in the summer of 1947. History.com says that a rancher in New Mexico by the name of Mac Brazel found an unusual object made of metallic, plastics, and foil reflectors held together by tape. Brazel then turned this information over to the Roswell sheriff, the information was further relayed to the Roswell Army Air Force base. This was just the beginning of the UFO madness, many more witnesses and events would take place.
Much fanfare has been made over the dozens or even hundreds of so called “witnesses” to UFO activity and even the UFO crash near Roswell. It wasn’t just among UFO buffs either, many authors of numerous Roswell books talk about the
Conspiracy theories have always been easy to spread amongst the American population due to common lack of trust for the American government. An example of which being the incident of Roswell, New Mexico. On one dreadful summer night in 1947, something crashed in a corn field in the middle of New Mexico. Little was known of what crashed that night, and it was because of this lack of identity that caused the common population to assume the worst, an extraterrestrial encounter. Slightly before this news of an alien spaceship crash, there were numerous reports of flying saucers being seen flying above Roswell, New Mexico (DiSpezio para 12). It was because of this increased interest in such things as extraterrestrial life that
While in the movies the main protagonist zap the people with a small device to make people not remember things, these men in black however have threatened people not to tell. True horror to see a couple of men who come up to you and force you not to say anything. Thankfully these men in black aren't imaginary. Many have claimed sighting and have legitimate videos of their appearance The Men in Black are beings who appear anywhere major UFO sightings take place.
Committing a Federal Offense, threatening, and killing is the least that the Men in Black are well-known for. Men in Black are related to organizations such as Majestic 12 and the New World Order. Men in Black main role in every incarnation is to suppress public of alien visitation ("MeninBlack(ConspiracyTheory)"). Shortly after each sighting the person in question is visited by strange men, usually three identical men. Men in Black have been popping up for a while according to witnesses they have no eyebrows, eyelashes, strange hypotonic eyes, bald heads possibly disguised by wigs, and clothes that seemed to be fitting in but were out of place. Albert Bender one of the most influential UFOlogists described them as having dark blue and black suits, bright red lips, are tall, creepily pale and speak in a very unusual automated way (Myers). The 1947 Maury Island incident is one of the lesser-known Washington State UFO occurrences, but it should be better known for several reasons. It is probably the first incident where a witness claimed that a “man in black” intimidated him into silence, the witness Harold Dahl was offered to breakfast by the men. While eating the stranger didn’t ask questions but warned Harold of secrecy. The FBI and military were involved because the physical evidence was destroyed in a plane crash, and there were several tragic deaths involving, a dog and two investigators. Harold Dahl said the story was a hoax after investigators told
A NASA camera captured UFOs seemingly leaving the Earth’s atmosphere. But the live feed was terminated just after the objects appeared.
Through the late 1960’s to early 1990’s the expansion on folklore expanded, not only through myths and legends but through experiences and encounters. The first ever sighting of an UFO was around 1440 BCE in ancient egypt. There have been more sightings around the world but the spark of UFO started around the early 1960’s and through the late 1990’s. With the spark of UFO sightings also came another folklore; the Men in Black or known has MIB. The Men in Black were a group of organized highly intelligent people who appeared to those who have gather too much information about UFO’s. However they also try to convince those to stop there research and never talk about it again. If they fail to comply majority of the stories that have been told they’ve either gone missing or ended up dead in a unnaturally way. Not only were the stories seemed strange but also their appearances, the MIB traditionally come in a group of three, no facial hair, no hair,with a black suit, and black sunglasses. Hence the name Men in Black. MIB existed long before their association with UFOs in folklore, often appearing as an archetype of the devil or agents of the devil. They could be
According to The Secret UFO Reports and UFO Secret Sightings, sightings on unidentified flying objects seem to be on the increase. But why?
Frank Drake was the person that created this equation. Frank went to Harvard Graduate School and studied astronomy. This is Drake’s equation; “N = R* • fp • ne • fl • fi • fc • L.”This may look like a lot of numbers that don’t make sense, but here is the meaning of the big equation. Drake's equation explains how much extraterrestrial life there is in the Milky Way Galaxy. According to Drake's equation, our galaxy consists of 3,500 extraterrestrial civilizations. Drake has studied astronomy in a very highly respected school so he is not making this up or he is wrong. This equation does prove that aliens do exist within our
The Oxford English Dictionary defines a UFO as "An unidentified flying object; a ‘flying saucer’." The word was first used in print by Donald Keyhoe in 1953.[1]
Antarctica UFO sightings are aliens flying around their old pyramid bases. After all, the remote landmass has mysteries buried in up to three miles of ice in some areas. Maybe alien secrets are under the ice? UFO theorists believe aliens colonized an ice-free Antarctica long ago. There has been a lot of alien activity surrounding the icy landmass, therefore suggesting it to be true.
In 1947 a UFO was seen near the town of Roswell, New Mexico. It was
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.
