Do you believe that aliens have already visited our planet?

Last January's (2008) big UFO story from Stephenville, TX caught my eye because of its uniqueness. It was the biggest multiple sighting reported in decades. The story made the headlines for a couple weeks on the major news media. What was special about it was that over a hundred people from around the area reported the same or similar stories about a large craft shaped like nothing man has made. They say that it hovered 100 feet off the ground in silence, and had an arrangement of lights that shined unlike anything on an aircraft.

With so many witnesses claiming that this thing was out of the ordinary, one would be inclined to think that an alien craft really had visited Earth, again. To back it up, the Air Force claimed it was not involved. But two or three weeks later, the Air Force issued a statement claiming it was a part of a secret project, giving no other details, and that the public was to forget about the incident. The media seemed to have dropped the story after that, and I hadn't heard or seen any updates since.

I scratched my head over this peculiarity, because I've always had a problem with whom I could believe or disbelieve. The media and the government are always a suspicious bunch, and people who report the incidents haven't proven their credibility either. To complicate the issue of whether or not UFO's have actually visited Earth, I analyzed how and why they would, and came up with my own refutable results.

The first item in my analysis is the list of thousands of reported sightings around the world in the last few decades. None of those sightings seem to have any irrefutable evidence to back them up. I wonder how thousands of foreign objects can come to Earth without more of them being detected by the vast array of sensing equipment around the world. Governments don't control all the sensing equipment, including many satellites, and although radar and other sensor operators have reported "ghosts" and other contacts that could change directions quickly and move at incredible speeds, I find it hard to believe that all owners of the equipment around the world have collaborated in a conspiracy to cover up thousands of UFO detections.

UFO's might be made of advanced materials that render them undetectable to radars, IR sensors, or sound detectors, etc., but that doesn't refute the claim that many UFO's allegedly emitted electromagnetic radiation. If witnesses saw them in the dark, they certainly emitted detectable energy. Thus, more contacts or sightings
