UFOs real or fiction


  Over the years there have been rumours that people have seen  strange flying objects or moving lights in the sky. Such sightings have turned out to be one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the 20th century. UFOs spark a lot of questions regarding extra terrestial intelligence and the most important question, Are we alone?

  No one exactly knows when the first UFO was sighted. From past astronomical records UFOs may have been sighted way before 19th century.  However not all strange sightings can be regarded as UFOs. Some could have been bolites, meteoroids which burst on the lower parts of the Earths atmosphere producing a glow.

  Certain types of aircraft, especially military ones and satellites are sometimes mistaken for UFOs. So how does a real UFO look like? The most famous shape would be the disc or saucer  shape or in layman terms a flying saucer. Some UFOs are polyhedral in shape, which is an almost round shape made of polygons. These polygons are usually hexagons and pentagons.  There are other unusual shapes of UFOs that look like a beam with a head. These UFOs were classified as Big UFOs or star ships.

  Star ships are different from the ones sighted in the sky.These were sighted by telescopes pointing towards various star systems. Astoundingly a strange glowing matter was spotted moving at a few light years per second. This video by Josh Escamilla shows interesting stuffs about star ships. Is there anything out there that can travel faster than light or is it a calculation error of its location. This doubts me a lot as looking at object offsetting lights speed would mean resulting in several images to the observer. What is even astounding is that what is the big matter doing out there. For now this is not yet proven.

  What is the behavior of UFOs on Earth. Most witness claims that they hardly remain for a few minutes. They just appear and disappear in a flash. What about the Aliens? Unfortunately the aliens taken from some UFO crash sites were all hoax. So no one knows how a real alien looks like. This is an example of an dead alien recently found in a UFO crash site near Russia. It is unknown whether it is genuine or another hoax.

   Are UFOs evidence of extra terestial life or are they just illusions created by God. After all God created the Universe. No one knows what other mysteries that lie waiting to be discovered.

Its never too late to Start. But its too late to completely stop.

 Interestingly this is the first post for the year or may I say after such a long time. Reason being is that I was starting to lose interest in Astronomy ever since I have decided something promising. Ambitions do change over time but interest will remain deep inside ourselves if not disturbed by unforeseen circumstances. What made me not post anything? Simply because it is difficult  to come up with something new. Now that I have finally got back much of my liking, I will continue my Astronomical journey at times when I am free.

 Two things made me replenish my interest. The first thing was the discovery of the new solar system known as Kepler-11. It is found among the ten thousand stars between the constellation Cygnus and Lyra. A system of six major planets in which five of them lie very close to the star. What kind of atmosphere would you expect in such planets. How high will temperatures be in such a small distance away from the star. Do all solar type stars contain solar systems like ours. With such a discovery we think of plethora of questions.

 The second thing that struck me was on March 19, where moon appeared to be larger compared to its actual size when viewed from Earth. It was the day where the distance between Earth and Moon was the least after hundreds of years. I spent my night out starring at the moon. I thought of taking pictures but my camera had a poor zooming power and did not get an ideal location. Instead i am glad I saw how large the moon was than its actual size.

 Did just two things started to spin my wheel? The two events struck me the most while there are other things that brought back interest on the way.  If I was losing interest all I needed to do is to think back. The potential in us keeps getting better making it invaluable. But losing that potential may cause your hobby to be slowly forgotten. So hopefully I will come up with more new ideas on the way. Sadly there won't be much changes to the web except for facts and posts.
