00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,200
The fighting of these unidentified objects, or UFOs as they have come to be known, has

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:12,340
not been confined to our time, but has occurred throughout past ages as well.

3
00:00:12,340 --> 00:00:17,820
The reports have come from all kinds of people, and are spursed among those from obvious crowds,

4
00:00:17,820 --> 00:00:23,660
have been sightings made by scientists, by experienced pilots, radar operators and others,

5
00:00:23,660 --> 00:00:25,940
who knew what they were looking at.

6
00:00:25,940 --> 00:00:27,880
What is the answer?

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:32,480
One of the most exhaustive attempts to find it has been the American Air Force's Project

8
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:40,240
Blue Book, covering all the available data surrounding 1,593 UFO reports.

9
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:46,000
Most of these, upon being tracked down, were found to have a natural and logical explanation.

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,960
Ice particles in the atmosphere reflecting diffused light, weather balloons, high-flying

11
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:56,120
aircraft, simple reflections from inversion air masses, and even the bellies of birds

12
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:01,360
seen from a certain angle, distance and light, are only a few of the many natural phenomena

13
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,040
that had been taken as flying saucers.

14
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,720
But one of the 27% of sightings by competent observers, which Project Blue Book could not

15
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:14,360
explain, is there additional information we have not yet learned that will show them up

16
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,080
as perfectly natural phenomena?

17
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:22,280
Or would additional information explain them as something we now, in our present horizons

18
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,320
of science, cannot even comprehend?

19
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:27,440
Only time will tell.
