ufo on earth

unexplained phenomenon Google Doodle
For a few hours now Google Australia displays the „unexplained phenomenon“ Google Doodle but no one really knows what it means. If you click it, you get the unexplained phenomenon search results page. Germany also has it’s version of the Doodle called „Rätselhaftes Phänomen“ which pretty much translates to unexplained phenomenon. Google Russia also has it’s version called „необъяснимые явления“.
What is it about?
Surely the US will soon get the unexplained phenomenon Doodle and more and more people are about to get crazy about it’s meaning. Is it a gag? An experiment? A self-reference? Is there someone at Google laughing at us?
Enlighten us!!! Spooky, isn’t it? Call Mulder and Scully!
Feel free to post a comment if you can clarify the unexplained phenomenon.

Jumping on the Google ‘unexplained phenomenon’ bandwagon, I’ve decided to investigate the choice of Google selecting a UFO for their Google doodle, or Google logo. Theories have surfaced across the Internet and many people have taken to Twitter and Facebook to air their guess as to why Google has selected a UFO or unexplained phenomenon to display upon their website this weekend. I have proposed my own guess as to why Google is featuring the UFO in their logo, and I think it might be due to Star Trek’s 43th anniversary.

It was 43 years ago on September 8, 1966 that the original series of Star Trek aired on NBC. Could this be the reason for the UFO beaming up the letter ‘O’ in Google’s logo? The series has enjoyed an enormous cult following and has branched into a wide array of movies and other television series. Since the country is undergoing a 9.7% unemployment rate, it seems a wise choice to celebrate the anniversary of Captain James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock rather than draw emphasis to the countless unemployed and underemployed workers in America.

Since the Google UFO logo depicts the beam, it seems that the doodle is showing Star Trek and depicting its infamous line, “Beam me up, Scotty.” Though Star Trek was a cult classic, the show only aired for three seasons, its final episode aired on June 3, 1969. Since Star Trek has evolved into numerous other film projects, the original series is often referred to as Star Trek: The Original Series, Classic Star Trek, and Star Trek: TOS.
In addition to the original series, other film and television projects include Star Trek: The Animated Series which aired from 1973-1974, Star Trek: The Next Generation which aired from 1987-1994, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine which aired from 1993-1999, Star Trek: Voyager which aired from 1995-2001, and Star Trek: Enterprise which aired from 2001-2005. Is Google’s logo the product of unexplained phenomenon and focusing on alien life in general? Maybe not, my bet is on Star Trek.
 

Released on June 12, 1987, Predator was #1 at the box office in its opening weekend. Its opening weekend gross of $12 million was second to Beverly Hills Cop II in 1987.[8] The film grossed nearly $60 million in the U.S. and $100 million at the worldwide box office.[9]

Initial critical reaction to the film was generally negative with critics focusing on the lack of story and excitement. Elvis Mitchell of The New York Times described it as "grisly and dull, with few surprises"[10] Peter Stack of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote that the film is "a rather pointless thing when you get down to it, has little of the provocative intelligence that was found in "Terminator." But at least it's self-propelling in terms of suspense and cheap thrills."[11] Dean Lamanna wrote in Cinefantastique that "the militarized monster movie tires under its own derivative weight."[12] Variety wrote that the film was a "slightly above-average actioner that tries to compensate for tissue-thin-plot with ever-more-grisly death sequences and impressive special effects."[13] Michael Wilmington wrote a negative review focusing on the story, proclaiming it as "arguably one of the emptiest, feeblest, most derivative scripts ever made as a major studio movie."[14]

Among the positive reviews, Roger Ebert praised the film stating that, "it has good location photography and terrific special effects, and it supplies what it claims to supply: an effective action movie" but still noted that "the action moves so quickly that we overlook questions such as why would an alien species go to all the effort to send a creature to earth, just so that it could swing from the trees and skin American soldiers? Or, why would a creature so technologically advanced need to bother with hand-to-hand combat, when it could just zap Arnold with a ray gun".[15]

However, reaction to the film has warmed with time. In 2007, Entertainment Weekly named it the #22 greatest action movie of all time.[16] The magazine also ranked the film 14th on their "The Best Rock-'em, Sock-'em Movies of the Past 25 Years" list.[17] As of June of 2009, the film holds a 76% positive on Rotten Tomatoes. [18]

The main cast of Predator. Left to right: Blain, Hawkins, Dutch, Mac, Dillon, Billy, Poncho.

* Arnold Schwarzenegger as MAJ Alan "Dutch" Schaefer: Dutch is the leader of the team, and an elite veteran, who served together with Dillion in Vietnam during the Battle of Huế.
* Carl Weathers as George Dillon: Dillon is a former teammate of Dutch and current CIA agent, sent along with Dutch's team for the mission. He is no longer a regular field agent, so he is out of practice.
* Elpidia Carrillo as Anna: Anna is a guerrilla, captured by Dutch's troops following a battle with the rebels. She later tells them of an "old demon" that during hot summers attacks people from violent areas who are later found skinned and hollowed.
* Bill Duke as Mac Eliot: Mac is a close friend of Blain's; they served in Vietnam together and were the only two members of their platoon to make it out alive after a night-long battle. He is hostile towards Dillon, stating that he'll kill him if he hinders the group.
* Jesse Ventura as Blain Cooper: Blain fought alongside Mac in the Vietnam War and were the only members of their platoon to survive a night-long battle. He often chews tobacco, and wears a battered old cowboy hat. His weapon of choice is a modified minigun he calls "Ol' Painless," but he also carries a submachine gun when he needs to be stealthy. A
* Sonny Landham as Billy Sole: Billy is a Native American with a strong jungle sense. He is generally very quiet, and Hawkins constantly attempts to make him laugh.
* Richard Chaves as Jorge "Poncho" Ramirez: Poncho is a Chicano, who speaks fluent Spanish, and shows a sarcastic wit.
* Shane Black as Rick Hawkins: Hawkins is the team's radio operator and technical expert. He tells sexual jokes, though he usually has to explain them, and reads comic books.
* R. G. Armstrong as Major General Homer Phillips: Phillips is the coordinator of the mission, who forms the team based upon their reputation.
* Kevin Peter Hall as The Predator: The Predator is member of a warrior race which hunts aggressive members of other species for sport, uses active camouflage, a plasma weapon and can see the infrared spectrum. Hall also plays the end scene helicopter pilot
* Sven-Ole Thorsen as Russian military adviser

The soundtrack was composed by Alan Silvestri, who was coming off the huge success of Back to the Future in 1985. Predator was his first major action movie and the score is full of his now familiar genre characteristics: heavy horn blasts, staccato string rhythms, and undulating timpani rolls that highlight the action and suspense. Little Richard's song "Long Tall Sally" is featured in the helicopter en route to the jungle. Mac also recites a few lines from the song as he's chasing the Predator after it escapes from their booby trap.

R/Greenberg Associates created the film's optical effects, including the alien's ability to become invisible, its thermal vision point-of-view, its glowing blood, and the electrical spark effects.[7] The invisibility effect was achieved by having someone in a bright red suit (because it was the farthest opposite of the green of the jungle and the blue of the sky) the size of the Predator. The red was removed with chroma key techniques, leaving an empty area. The take was then repeated without the actors using a 30% wider lens on the camera. When the two takes were combined optically, the jungle from the second take filled in the empty area. Because the second take was filmed with a wider lens, a vague outline of the alien could be seen with the background scenery bending around its shape.[7] For the thermal vision, infrared film could not be used because it did not register in the range of body temperature wavelengths. The filmmakers used an inframetrics thermal video scanner as it gave good heat images of objects and people.[7] The glowing blood was achieved by green liquid from chem-lite sticks used by campers.[7] The electrical sparks were rotoscoped animation using white paper pin registered on portable light tables to black and white prints of the film frames. The drawings were composited by the optical crew for the finished effects.[7] The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Visual Effects.

Casting

Silver and Gordon first approached Arnold Schwarzenegger with the lead role

Kevin Peter Hall as the Predator

Silver and Gordon first approached Arnold Schwarzenegger with the lead role.

Schwarzenegger said, "The first thing I look for in a script is a good idea, a majority of scripts are rip-offs of other movies. People think they can become successful overnight. They sat down one weekend and wrote a script because they read that Stallone did that with Rocky. Predator was one of the scripts I read, and it bothered me in one way. It was just me and the alien. So we re-did the whole thing so that it was a team of commandos and then I liked the idea. I thought it would make a much more effective movie and be much more believable. I liked the idea of starting out with an action-adventure, but then coming in with some horror and science fiction,".[citation needed]

To play the elite band of mercenaries, both Silver and Gordon, with co-producer John Davis, put out a casting net for other larger-than-life men of action. Carl Weathers, who had been memorable as boxer Apollo Creed in the Rocky films was their first choice to play Dillon, while professional wrestler and former Navy UDT Jesse Ventura was hired for his formidable physique as Blain. Native Americans Sonny Landham and Richard Chaves, and African-American Bill Duke, who co-starred alongside Schwarzenegger in Commando, provided the ethnic balance. As a favor to the writer of Joel Silver's blockbuster Lethal Weapon, the studio hired screenplay writer Shane Black not only to play a supporting role in the film, but also to keep an eye on McTiernan due to the director's inexperience.

Jean-Claude Van Damme was originally cast as the Predator creature, the idea being that the physical action star would use his martial arts skills to make the Predator an agile, ninja-esque hunter. When compared to Schwarzenegger, Weathers, and Ventura, actors known for their bodybuilding regimens, it became apparent a more physically-imposing man was needed to make the creature appear threatening. Additionally, it was reported that Van Damme constantly complained about the monster suit being too hot, causing him to pass out. He also had allegedly voiced his reservations on numerous occasions that he would not appear on camera without the suit in the film. Jesse Ventura's autobiographical book also alleges Van Damme intentionally injured a stunt man. Van Damme was removed from the film and replaced by Kevin Peter Hall. Hall, standing at an imposing 7 foot 2, had just finished work as a sasquatch in Harry and the Hendersons.

For a few months, following the release of Rocky IV, a joke was making rounds in Hollywood. Since Rocky Balboa had run out of earthly opponents, he would have to fight an alien if a fifth installment of his boxing series were to be made. Screenwriters Jim and John Thomas took the joke seriously and wrote a screenplay based on the joke. The Thomas script for Predator was originally titled Hunter.[1] It was picked up by 20th Century Fox in 1985, and turned over to producer Joel Silver who, based on his experience with Commando, seemed the right choice to turn the vintage science fiction pulp storyline into a big-budget film. Silver enlisted his former boss Lawrence Gordon as co-producer and John McTiernan was hired as director for his first studio film.

According to the documentaries included on the Region 1 release of the special edition, the original monster suit was vastly different from the final product, designed by Stan Winston. Jean-Claude Van Damme was originally slated to play the creature, but made alleged claims that the suit was "too clumsy and too hot." The original monster was a disproportionate, overweight creature with a duck-like head. It was nowhere near as agile as the creature portrayed by Kevin Peter Hall. After Van Damme was removed from the film and subsequent financial troubles with the studio nearly caused the project to shut down, McTiernan consulted Stan Winston. While on a plane ride to Fox studios alongside Aliens director James Cameron, Winston sketched monster ideas. Cameron suggested he had always wanted to see a creature with 'mandibles' which became part of the Predator's iconic look.

20th anniversary version of E.T



The image above is proposed for deletion. See files for deletion to help reach a consensus on what to do.

An extended version of the film, including altered special effects, was released on March 22, 2002. Certain shots of E.T. had bothered Spielberg since 1982, as he did not have enough time to perfect the animatronics. Computer-generated imagery (CGI), provided by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), was used to modify several shots, including ones of E.T. running in the opening sequence and being spotted in the cornfield. The spaceship's design was also altered to include more lights. Scenes shot for but not included in the original version were introduced. These included E.T. taking a bath, and Gertie telling Mary that Elliott went to the forest. Spielberg did not add the scene featuring Harrison Ford, feeling that would reshape the film too drastically. Having become a father, Spielberg was more sensitive about the scene where gun-wielding federal agents threaten Elliott and his escaping friends; he digitally replaced the guns with walkie-talkies.[7]

At the premiere, John Williams conducted a live performance of the score.[69] The new release grossed $35 million domestically, bringing the film's total worldwide gross to $793 million since 1982.[2] The 20th anniversary version was released as part of a two-disc DVD set on December 10, 2002; it was also packaged in a collector's edition with the original version.[70] The changes to the film, particularly the escape scene, were criticized as political correctness. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone wondered, "Remember those guns the feds carried? Thanks to the miracle of digital, they're now brandishing walkie-talkies.... Is this what two decades have done to free speech?"[71] Chris Hewitt of Empire wrote, "The changes are surprisingly low-key [...] while ILM's CGI E.T. is used sparingly as a complement to Carlo Rambaldi's extraordinary puppet."[72] South Park parodied many of the changes in the 2002 episode "Free Hat".[73]

[edit] Other portrayals

In July 1982, during the film's first theatrical run, Spielberg and Mathison wrote a treatment for a sequel to be titled E.T. II: Nocturnal Fears. It would have seen Elliott and his friends kidnapped by evil aliens and follow their attempts to contact E.T. for help. Spielberg decided against pursuing the sequel, feeling it "would do nothing but rob the original of its virginity".[43]

Atari made a video game based on the film. Released in 1982, it was widely considered to be one of the worst video games ever. William Kotzwinkle—author of the film's novelization—wrote a sequel, E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet, published in 1985. The novel concerns E.T.'s return to its planet, Brodo Asogi; its subsequent demotion and exile to its childhood "farm"; and its attempts to return to Earth by effectively breaking all the laws of Brodo Asogi.[74] E.T. Adventure, a theme park ride, debuted at Universal Studios Florida in 1990. The $40 million attraction features the title character saying goodbye to visitors by name.[14]

In 1998, E.T. was licensed to appear in television public service announcements produced by the Progressive Corporation. The announcements featured E.T.'s voice reminding drivers to "buckle up" their safety belts. Traffic signs depicting a stylized E.T. wearing a safety belt were installed on selected roads around the United States.[75] The following year, British Telecommunications launched the "Stay in Touch" campaign, with E.T. as the star of various advertisements. The campaign's slogan was "B.T. has E.T.", with "E.T." also taken to mean "extra technology".[76] At Spielberg's suggestion, George Lucas included members of E.T.'s race as background characters in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999).[77]

crew members of  E.T


* Henry Thomas as Elliott, a lonely ten-year-old boy. Elliott longs for a good friend, whom he finds in E.T. Elliott adopts the stranded alien and they form a mental, physical, and emotional bond.
* Robert MacNaughton as Michael, Elliott's football-playing 16-year-old brother who often picks on him.
* Drew Barrymore as Gertie, Elliott's mischievous seven-year-old sister. She is sarcastic and initially terrified of E.T., but grows to love the alien.
* Dee Wallace-Stone as Mary, the children's mother, recently separated from her husband. She is mostly oblivious to the alien's presence in her household.
* Peter Coyote as "Keys", a government agent so dubbed because of the key rings that prominently hang from his belt. He tells Elliott that he has waited to see an alien since the age of ten.
* K. C. Martel, Sean Frye and C. Thomas Howell as Greg, Steve and Tyler, Michael's friends. They help Elliott and E.T. evade the authorities during the film's climax.
* Erika Eleniak as the young girl Elliott kisses in class.

Spielberg auditioned more than 300 children for the roles.[5] Having worked with Cary Guffey on Close Encounters of the Third Kind, he felt confident in working with a cast composed mostly of child actors, rather than young adults.[6] Robert Fisk suggested Henry Thomas for the role of Elliott.[7] Thomas, who auditioned in an Indiana Jones costume, did not perform well in the formal testing, but got the filmmakers' attention in an improvised scene.[6] Thoughts of his dead dog inspired his convincing tears.[8] MacNaughton auditioned eight times to play Michael, sometimes with boys auditioning for Elliott. Spielberg felt Drew Barrymore had the right imagination for the film after she impressed him with a story that she led a punk rock band.[7] Spielberg enjoyed working with the children, noting that the experience made him feel ready to become a father.[9]

The major voice work for E.T. was performed by Pat Welsh, an elderly woman who lived in Marin County, California. Welsh smoked two packets of cigarettes a day, which gave her voice a quality that sound effects creator Ben Burtt liked. She spent nine-and-a-half hours recording her part, and was paid $380 by Burtt for her services.[10] Burtt also recorded 16 other people and various animals to create E.T.'s "voice". These included Spielberg; Debra Winger; Burtt's sleeping wife, who had a cold; a burp from his USC film professor; and raccoons, sea otters and horses.[11][12] Burtt would later go on to provide the voice for the main character in Wall-E. The character's form of speaking has a similarity to E.T.

Doctors working at the USC Medical Center were recruited to play the doctors who try to save E.T. after government agents take over Elliott's home. Spielberg felt that actors in the roles, performing lines of highly technical medical dialogue, would come across as unnatural.[9] During post-production, Spielberg decided to cut a scene featuring Harrison Ford as Elliott's principal. The scene featured Elliott being reprimanded for his behavior in science class, and saw Elliott's chair being levitated while E.T. was levitating his "phone" equipment up the staircase with Gertie.[7]

E.T ..story base


The film opens in a California forest as a group of alien botanists collect vegetation samples. U.S. government agents appear and the aliens flee in their spaceship, leaving one of their own behind in their haste. The scene shifts to a suburban California home, where a boy named Elliott (Henry Thomas) plays servant to his older brother, Michael (Robert MacNaughton), and his friends (K. C. Martel, Sean Frye and C. Thomas Howell). As he fetches pizza, Elliott discovers the stranded alien, who promptly flees. Despite his family's disbelief, Elliott leaves Reese's Pieces candy in the forest to lure it into his bedroom. Before he goes to bed, Elliott notices the alien imitating his movements.

Elliott feigns illness the next morning to avoid school so he can play with the alien. That afternoon, Michael and their younger sister, Gertie (Drew Barrymore), meet the alien. Their mother, Mary (Dee Wallace), hears the noise and comes upstairs. Michael, Gertie and the alien hide in the closet while Elliott assures his mother that everything is all right. Michael and Gertie promise to keep the alien a secret from their mother. Deciding to keep the alien, the children begin to ask it about its origin. It answers by levitating balls to represent its solar system, and further demonstrates its powers by reviving a dead plant.

At school the next day, Elliott begins to experience a psychic connection with the alien. Elliott becomes irrational due partly to the alien's intoxication from drinking beer. Elliott then begins freeing all the frogs from a dissection class. As the alien watches John Wayne kiss Maureen O'Hara in The Quiet Man, Elliott's psychic link causes him to kiss a girl (Erika Eleniak) he likes in the same manner.
Makeshift communicator used by E.T. to phone home

The alien learns to speak English by repeating what Gertie says in response to her watching Sesame Street and, through Elliott's urging, dubs itself as "E.T." It enlists Elliott's help in building a device to "phone home" by using a Speak & Spell toy. Michael starts to notice that E.T.'s health is declining and that Elliott is referring to himself as "we." On Halloween, Michael and Elliott dress E.T. as a ghost so they can sneak it out of the house. Elliott and E.T. ride a bicycle to the forest, where E.T. makes a successful call home. The next morning, Elliott wakes up to find E.T. gone, and returns home to his distressed family. Michael finds E.T. dying in the forest, and takes the alien to Elliott, who is also dying. Mary becomes frightened when she discovers her son's illness and the dying alien, before government agents invade the house.

Scientists set up a medical facility in the house, quarantining Elliott and E.T. The link between E.T. and Elliott disappears as E.T. appears to die. Elliott is left alone with the motionless alien when he notices a dead flower, the plant E.T. had previously revived, coming back to life. E.T. reanimates and reveals that its people are returning. Elliott and Michael steal a van that E.T. had been loaded into and a chase ensues, with Michael's friends joining Elliott and E.T. as they attempt to evade the authorities by bicycle. Suddenly facing a dead-end, they escape as E.T. uses telekinesis to lift them into the air and toward the forest. Standing near the spaceship, E.T.'s heart glows as it prepares to return home. Mary, Gertie and "Keys" (Peter Coyote), a government agent, show up. E.T. says goodbye to Michael and Gertie, and before entering the spaceship, tells Elliott "I'll be right here," pointing its glowing finger to Elliott's heart. E.T. then picks up the flower pot Gertie gave him, walks into the spaceship, and takes off, leaving a rainbow in the sky.

So, aside from the objects in the sky that can be explained to flyer's, who, or what, are behind the proportion of these strange objects in the sky that remain unidentifiable? Many people these days claim to have actually met the beings that are behind them; and n most cases people say they have been taken against their will. These days, when the word 'Abducted' is mentioned a lot of people instantly think of 'Alien Abduction'. The most common and notorious offender in abduction cases, is popularly referred to as 'the Grey'. In fact, it has been said that alleged abductions are so common place in America that it has been said that if you ever see a UFO the chances are that it is either coming from or going to an abduction!

As we have seen, records of lights in the sky can be traced back thousands of years but talk of alien abductions appears to be very much a product of the modern age. The earliest recorded abductions come from around the 1950's but it appears that it was during the 1980's that reports of such things seem to have really 'took off' (if you will excuse the pun!).

But even before the spate of alleged abductions occurred, between 1945 and 1947 the US science fiction magazine Amazing Stories, which enjoyed widespread popularity, had fictional aliens who were kidnapping humans in much the same way as the stories that were to come later and be presented as fact.

see its a bit lusty to hear people who say they had seen ufo , but from other side people are not mad

in telling those word

but to their excitement they, had seen those unknown ---------.

"I am dreaming of having an alien pet, or even an alien virgin."

It has a history way back to pyramid's and i am sure it will new challenge's to mankind's lust for E.T

But although there is a lot of current interest and alleged sightings, the phenomenon is by no means a new one. Throughout history strange objects and lights have appeared in the sky. The video 'UFOs: The Hidden Truth' makes these observations:

• 1500 years ago the ancient Egyptians recorded strange sights in the skies.

• Both Greek and Roman literature have references to 'fiery shields' in the sky.

• In the year 323 B.C. Alexander the great and his army were harassed by 2 unidentified flying objects. Most of the men fled, although some of the more courageous ones stood their ground and tried to fight them and hit them with their bow and arrows.

• In 1492, just hours before Christopher Columbus discovered land, it is recorded that he witnessed a bright flying object flying from the sky into the water and then exiting to return to the sky again.

In addition to the historical record there is also the testimony of many seemingly reliable witnesses. For example:

• Edmund Haley, of Haleys Comet fame, watched a light in the night sky that was so bright that it lit up the sky so brightly that he could even read a text by it.

• In WWII British aeroplanes flying over Germany encountered strange lights in the sky and thought that they were a new breed of enemy aircraft and nicknamed them 'Foo Fighters'.

• American presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagen have spoken of seeing UFOs.

And the list goes on: astronauts, radar specialists, policemen, FBI agents. Are we really to believe that all these people are actually liars? I don't think that it is really fair to say that all of these people are lying. However, about 90 percent of the reported sightings can be explained without seeing little green men around every corner. But we are still left with a percentage that remain as a mystery.

Do UFOs actually exist?

So do UFOs actually exist? :- my instincts strongly say they do exist, as we do.

In the mind of those in the film industry there is no doubt to this question. UFOs and aliens exist on the big screen and small screen alike in such things as: Independence Day, The X Files, Dark Skies, Men in Black, Mars Attack, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. And recently there is the renewed interest in the film Star Wars, even though it was originally shown about 20 years ago. Then there is everyone's favorite Star Trek, where you can boldly go where no man has gone before and join Captain Kirk, and Spock and the crew to encounter a wide assortment of colorful life-forms in a Universe that is chock-a-block with alien life. Certainly, in the world of Science Fiction UFO's not only exist, but are here to stay.

But what about reality? Do UFOs really exist? The modern UFO era began in 1947 when a man by the name of Kenneth Arnold witnessed 9 disk shaped objects flying at tremendous speeds over Washington. A reporter coined the phrase "Flying Saucer" and the phrase stuck. It appears that after Arnoldo's sighting the flood gates opened and UFOs were appearing almost everywhere. And today, the sightings continue, as well as the interest in the subject. I can guarantee you that if you were to go into almost any newsagents today and take just a cursory glance at the publications on offer you would see magazines on UFOs and aliens.

"flying saucer is most popular word around the world, in related to the alien's."

Belief in UFOs and extra-terrestrials is fast becoming the high tech religion for the new millenium. We are witnessing more and more reports of UFO sightings, hearing reports of abductions, and seeing many extreme and bizarre New Age UFO cults emerge.

The film [E.T] a strong press on human belief towards aliens.

Firstly, we will ask the question - Do UFOs actually exist, or are they just a fantasy, a product of the mind? Secondly - If they do exist then what exactly are they? Thirdly, we will ask - Who or what are behind them? And finally, I will go into detail as to what I personally feel about this subject, as a Christian, and will examine what I believe the Bible has to say on the matter.

The search for truth is still haven't seen any truth in either ways......
