UFOs, alien abductions, lost time ... it might sound like the latest series of the X-files, but many people believe that these things really exist!

"Well" - he told us, “just picture the scene ... I am riding my bike home one evening with
my sister when suddenly strange bright light appears in the sky in front of us. I think it's a
star until it starts to change color and move up and down and from side to side. I'm afraid,
but then I feel strangely calm. After a few minutes, it disappears behind the hills and my
sister and I ride home as fast as we can."
Astronauts, pilots, scientists, even presidents have had similar experiences. Some witnesses
have even found debris and burn marks on the ground from UFO crashes. One UFO
society, however, collected a list of 70 000 sightings from all over the world and found
explanations for 80% of them: comets, meteors, bright planets like Venus, aircraft lights or
even birds, anything but UFOs! Bột what about the other 20%? "Well, there are thousands of
solar systems, or planets that go around a central star like our sun," Jack told us. "if the night
conditions exist on just one of these planets, it is possible that life exists there. Personally, I
am convinced that aliens are here and that they walk among us!"
There is just one problem with this. So far no one has ever found any real aliens. So, is there
a logical explanation for UFO and alien sightings, or is the truth still out there? You decide!
