UFOs or Top-Secret Aircraft
Do we even know if we are alone?
Ezekiel saw the wheel. Is this the wheel he said he saw?
In the 1950s, the United States Government began investigating unidentified flying objects, or UFOs. The idea was to determine if these were hoaxes, objects where the public didn’t understand what they were looking at, or if we were under the surveillance of foreign governments. Later speculation was that we could be under the surveillance of extraterrestrial life.
UFOs
There are quite a few skeptics, but I can tell you without any reservations that there are U.F.O.s out there. I have personally not been able to identify objects that appeared to fly, so that would make them UFOs. Where they “alien”… I don’t think so. I just couldn’t tell what they were. Probably just a weather balloon, drone, or light aircraft of some sort.
The U.S. Develops at least 2 Flying Saucers
1. The Army
There are flying saucers. The United States Army was developing saucer-shaped observation platforms that flew over the treetops in the mid-1950s. These flew but consumed way too much fuel to be practical and could only remain airborne for a few minutes at a time. These were the Hiller VZ-1 Pawnee.
