Do aliens exist?’ One of life’s great unanswered questions.

How many alien and UFO sightings have there been ?

-
Numbers of UFO sightings are currently flying at an all-time high, according to data cruncher and blogger Sam Monfort.
-
The alien expert reckons there have been nearly 105,000 recorded UFO sightings in the past 100-plus years.
-
And Sam is far from the only believer on our planet.
-
From an ‘alien autopsy’ video dating back to 1995 to a video of fighter jets apparently chasing a UFO over the M5, there are hundreds of videos which people claim are proof of alien life.
-
There’s even a clip of a UFO supposedly attacking a Taliban compound, as well as ‘sightings’ in Peckham and Warminster.
-
Most of the videos have been debunked by experts. In the M5 clip, for example, the motorway lorries look like models.

Many people believe that aliens live on Mars – while one man claimed there were secret child sex slaves on the planet.
-
While the Peckham UFOs were “almost certainly Chinese lanterns”, according to former Ministry of Defence UFO investigator Nick Pope – who was speaking to Sun Online.
-
He added that “true believers wouldn’t be dissuaded” by evidence the videos are fake.
-
Meanwhile, popstar Peter Andre claims to have seen “several UFOs” on a family trip to the Nevada desert.
-
The desert is also the site of America’s famous Area 51 – a highly classified military base at the centre of alien conspiracy theories, because of scores of sighting of UFOs in the area.
-
And artist Dave Huggins believes he lost his virginity to a busty alien called Crescent – and has fathered 60 ‘hybrid’ babies.
-
Some people even believe this picture of Jesus’ crucifixion – which hangs on the walls of the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in Georgia – is proof of alien life thousands of years ago.

What is the Roswell UFO incident ?

-
The Roswell UFO incident is a world-renowned conspiracy theory about the existence of aliens.
-
In the summer of 1947, a farmer discovered unidentifiable debris in his sheep fields just outside Roswell, New Mexico.
-
A local Air Force base claimed the debris came from a crashed hot air balloon, but many people reckon it’s really the remains of a flying saucer.
-
The debate rumbles on, with people continuing to make claims about “leaked US government documents”, which supposedly prove it was a cover-up.

Two of them encountered a small, triangular shaped craft – which they later drew images of.
One man, Jim Penniston, got close enough to touch the side of the object.
-
Two nights later, Deputy Base Commander Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt and his team also encountered the UFO – and were left baffled by the entire experience.

What is Britain’s secret UFO dossier ?

-
An official government UFO dossier, referred to as Britain’s X Files, contains a cache of 15 unusual incidents in British skies.
-
It has now been released by the Ministry of Defence but, in news which is sending believers wild, they’re making it very difficult to get hold of.
-
Sun Online exclusively revealed that Freedom of Information requests in relation to the dossier could be blocked, because it is hushed up by EU law.
-
The University of Manchester and Breakthrough Initiatives are currently running their own £77 million hunt for alien life – but experts are yet to find any concrete proof.
-

What have Nasa said about aliens ?

-
Nasa are the experts in space activity, but they remain notoriously tight-lipped when it comes to alien life.
-
However, they were recently forced to deny claims from hacking group Anonymous – that an alien announcement was imminent.
-
They have also rejected bizarre claims from former CIA case officer Robert David Steele – who said Nasa are running a child sex slave colony on Mars.
-

To date, there is no evidence of life beyond Earth – but, when it comes to unexplained events, the finger is often pointed at alien activity.
