Through many rumors it was alleged humanoid bodies of extraterrestrial origin were recovered from the crash site. (Nickell).

This footage was released in 1995, It was aired on cable television becoming an international sensation (Rowell 1947 Incident Retrieval). This footage has been studied by different film experts. The medical informants described the alien as having only four fingers and no thumb and also having no ears. However, in the alien autopsy footage, the alien had just the opposite of this description, The alien in the footage had small ears and five fingers. The film critics also say that the anatomy of the alien is incorrect (Nickell). These experts also claim the video was a complete hoax. Eventually Ray Santilli confessed that the video he created was entirely fake (Edwards). However he claimed that he recreated the video the way he originally saw the …show more content…
The American court would not take their testimony as real evidence because only seven out of the hundreds of witnesses claimed to have seen the debris or alien. Some of the people who have claimed to have seen the aliens seem to have made false comments which were by second-hand sources. Others made claims of sightings on their deathbed but they were thought to be elderly confused (Rowell 1947 Incident Retrieval). There may have been many people to make assumptions on what they saw but there was no solid proof or high quality

Foster ranch, went to check on his sheep one morning after a series of severe thunderstorms.

On the evening of March 13, 1997, thousands of people were outside waiting to see the spectacular Hale-Bopp Comet, until thousands of eyewitnesses reportedly seeing mysterious dots of lights spotted in the sky hovering over Phoenix, Arizona as the Hale-Bopp Comet passed over the sky. Thousands of eyewitnesses stated to have seen what is believed to be bright dots of lights that is a spacecraft formed into a V-shape.

Instead, the United States Air Force stated that the lights were flares that…

    Area 51 Conspiracy Theory

    • 1037 Words
    • 5 Pages

    But to the reluctance of the government to address the claims of extraterrestrial activity, the conspiracy theories grew popular through the 1950s to the present. A poll showed that 57% of U.S. citizens believe that UFOs are real, therefore, beliefs in UFOs will not quickly dissipate. But recent evidence and personal accounts provide logical arguments with support to show that the claims of extraterrestrial interactions with the U.S. government in Area 51 is not true. Rather the lights and unidentified flying objects reported by people near Groom Lake were prototype aircraft that were being designed to aid the U.S. in the Cold War against the Soviet Union. The reports of UFOs only happened after the testing of experimental aircraft throughout the 1950s and 1960s, thus the correlation between the testing of the prototype planes and reports of UFOs verify that it was the aircraft tested by the U.S., not aliens flying over Area 51. The testimony by Robert Lazar is contested by retired service members who worked in Area 51 and Lazar’s questionable credibility. While there is no proof to support the conspiracy theories surrounding Area 51, people still believe and argue that the government has fabricated stories and that aliens do exist. But with no tangible…

    A National Geographic survey states that 77% of the population believe that aliens exist and could have visited the Earth. Over “80 million Americans, or 36% of the population, believe UFOs are real” (Live Science Staff). 68 years ago the nation was captivated by supposed reports that a UFO crashed on a ranch in Roswell, New Mexico. This subject has always been debated between the military and the public for years. In 1997 “the military released a 231 page report [hoping that all the rumors would stop]” (Peyser 1). Yet, the public still doubt the truth of the military report about the Roswell incident because there were several different stories that happened.

One of the popular items of evidence, is that there weren't any stars in the landing pictures and that the astronauts said themselves that they had not seen any starts. The explanation behind this came to be that the landing was during the lunar daytime, of which the sun outshone the stars making them invisible.…

    In Ashland, Nebraska, on December 3, 1967, Herbert Schirmer, a 22 years young patrolman, was making his usual rounds. He had checked the Ashland Sales Barn, and several gas stations along Highway 6 when he noticed what he thought were red lights on top of a large truck. He had just passed through the intersection of Highways 6 and 63 at about 2:00 AM.He drove the short distance down 63 and stopped with his headlights shining on the object. According to Schirmer, the object was definitely not a truck. The red lights that he had seen were blinking through the oval portholes of a metallic, oval-shaped object that was hovering at a height of about eight feet above the road's surface.The object appeared to have a polished, aluminum surface and had a sort of walk around it. It had a structure underneath, like a landing gear.As he watched, the object rose into the air with flames coming from underneath. It passed almost directly over Schirmer's patrol car, then quickly shot out of sight.Schirmer returned to the police station, noting that it was now 3:00 AM., which surprised him because he felt that only ten minutes had passed. At the station, he made this entry into his logbook:"Saw a flying saucer at the junction of highways 6 and 63. Believe it or not!"Afterward, Schirmer developed a red welt on his neck, a headache, and he began to feel ill. Word of Schirmer's sighting was related to the Condon Commission at the University of Colorado, which investigated UFO reports.Schirmer was asked to come to Boulder, Colorado. At Boulder, on February 13, 1968, he was hypnotized by psychologist Dr. Leo Sprinkle of the University of Wyoming.Under hypnosis, Schirmer recalled that, after he stopped his car near the object, the engine died and his radio went silent. A white object emerged from the craft and seemed to communicate mentally with him, preventing him from drawing his gun as he was want to do.After the hypnotic session had…
