    Is There A Scientific Explanation For Ufos?

    The document discusses the scientific explanations for reported UFO sightings. It notes that UFOs are often unidentified and unexplainable using scientific methods. For a claim about UFOs to be accepted, ufologists need to provide hard, testable evidence that can withstand rigorous scientific testing, but so far they have only provided eyewitness accounts and footage. Many reported UFO sightings could actually be natural phenomena in the atmosphere that are mistaken as UFOs. A US Air Force study of over 12,000 UFO reports between 1948 and 1969 found that most could be explained by things like weather balloons, satellites, or hoaxes.

    Is there a scientific explanation for UFOs?

    People have long reported sightings of UFOs, which, by their very definition, are
    unidentified flying objects. They are also quite often untestable and unexplainable
    by scientific method, which is humanity's best tool for separating reality from
    fantasy. It all hinges on something called the null hypothesis, which means the
    burden of proof is on anyone making a positive claim. So whether you're claiming
    that ghosts, aliens or a new breed of lemur exists, it's up to you to drag hard,
    testable evidence into the unforgiving light of rigorous scientific testing and
    evaluation. It's up to "ufologists" to prove that the UFOs they're seeing are real. So
    far, despite countless sightings around the world, no one has come forth with
    evidence beyond fallible eyewitness accounts, imperfect footage and conspiracy
    theories regarding government cover-ups.

    The sky is full of interesting phenomena, such as shooting stars, twinkling planets,
    the aurora borealis and more, many of which are still under investigation as to the
    exact science behind how they work. Could there be some natural phenomenon
    in our atmosphere that people mistake for UFOs? If so, then there likely is a
    scientific explanation, but it's probably weather or astrology related, which might
    be disappointing to those who want to believe in UFOs.

    As further proof that most UFO sightings have a scientific explanation, you could
    look at the Project Blue Book study performed by the U.S. Air Force between 1948
    and 1969. They investigated around 12,000 UFO sightings, and discovered that
    11,917 were actually things like satellites, weather balloons, natural phenomena or
    hoaxes [source: United States Department of Defense]. While the government shut
    down the project in 1969, private organizations continue to study UFO sightings.

    Comments

    1) Evidence-- Since anecdotes never become evidence, even in vast numbers,


    there is none.

    2) Contact-- none known and proven to have occurred. The White House lawn is
    not that hard to find, so if there are aliens attempting contact, they are
    completely incompetent.

    3) Abduction-- Also, none. To date, no one claiming abduction has sworn out a
    warrant for these person or persons unknown. Coincidentally, lying to the FBI is a
    good way to get sent to the pokey. One might logically conclude the "witnesses"
    know they are lying.
