How many UFO sightings are reported so far? Dozens? Hundreds? Thousands? Is it big enough for you to believe something about aliens? No? What about millions? Would that be okay for you? Would you even begin considering the possibility of extra-terrestrial life if the numbers are that big? According to the website, www.ufoevidence.org, there have been millions of reports since 2003. Even assuming, 99% of them are hoax or misunderstandings, it still amounts to at least 10,000 legitimate sightings. Going by these numbers, any rational mind would tend to believe, there is an alien space-ship hovering somewhere right above his head.

It's quite ironic, that despite these numbers, we don't read much about it in the newspaper, or see much of it on TV except as a figment of fantastic imagination. Why? Don't you wonder? Unfortunately, so do I. I've heard reasons for its lack of publicity alright! The most popular ones of course, include hallucinations, pranks, bizarre cloud formations, weather balloons, awry scientific experiments or simply a prototype airplane with its tail on fire. Also, more fantastic ideas have now turned into popular cliches, like "this is all a government cover up" or "a Cold war stunt" (although many of these sightings have been reported thousands of years before WW2).

Of course, there may be another reason why people reject the concept of extra-terrestrial life. I think, many would have heard of this one, which probably existed for thousands of years in history. It's "GOD says so, in the bible. He says, the earth is the only planet in the universe with life on it".

Whatever the reasons be, no matter how logical these statements may sound, our reason for rejecting them is diminishing every day. Just google UFO, and you will see what I mean.

I am no scientist or a researcher. I don't trek through the countryside looking for a clear starry night, or fly air-crafts across the oceans looking for visitors from the outside. Nor do I sit across the table with other intellectuals crunching numbers about their probability of existence. I am just a college student, with time to kill, and a curiosity that's almost killing me.

I do not have the means or the resources to verify my posts here, to be real or a hoax. Regardless, stuff about UFO is all over the internet. All I intend to do in this blog, is put them all together in one place, and update news I see, every day. Keep going through the blog, and you might catch a thing or two. If you like it, ask your friends to read it too. Let us become aware, that we are not alone in this universe, nor do we want to be.
