Unidentified Flying Objects, or U.F.O.'s, as they are commonly called, are any airborne object that can't be identified by the viewer during observation or investigation.
The skies above Area 51 are notorious for sightings of such objects, which confirms the theories that the base is used to test top secret military aircraft.
There has never been any confirmation that the U.F.O.'s seen around Area 51 are of alien nature.
U.F.O. research was conducted at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio under the codename, Project Blue Book.
A highly debated U.F.O. sighting came from the Apollo 8 mission when Jim Lovell commented on seeing "Santa Claus". It was argued that the comment was in reference to it being near Christmas, but some say it was code for a U.F.O..

The following is a quote from NASA's website about U.F.O. research:
During several space missions, NASA astronauts have reported phenomena not immediately explainable; however, in every instance NASA determined that the observations could not be termed "abnormal" in the space environment.
The 1947 to 1969 USAF investigations studied UFO's under Project Blue Book. The project, headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, was terminated December 17, 1969. Of the total of 12,618 sightings reported to Project Blue Book, 701 remain "unidentified."
The decision to discontinue UFO investigations was based on an evaluation of a report prepared by the University of Colorado entitled, "Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects;" a review of the University of Colorado's report by the National Academy of Sciences; previous UFO studies; and Air Force experience investigating UFO reports during the 1940s, '50s and '60s.
As a result of experience, investigations, and studies since 1948, the conclusions of Project Blue Book were: (1) no UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force was ever a threat to our national security; (2) there was no evidence submitted to, or discovered by, the Air Force that sightings categorized as "unidentified" represented technological developments or principles beyond the range of modern scientific knowledge; and (3) there was no evidence indicating that sightings categorized as "unidentified" were extraterrestrial vehicles.

Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. Here's today's news:
g STARS - Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have ruled out an alternate theory on the nature of dark energy after recalculating the expansion rate of the universe to unprecedented accuracy. See article.
g ABODES - Until now it was thought that once a volcano's magma chamber had cooled down it remained dormant for centuries before it could be remobilized by fresh magma. A theoretical model was tested on two major eruptions and completely overturned this hypothesis: the reawakening of a chamber could take place in just a few months. This research should lead to a reassessment of the dangerousness of some dormant volcanoes. See article.
g LIFE - Sea-ice algae plays an important role supporting the food web in places like the Arctic Ocean. New research shows that this algae can engineer ice to its advantage by secreting a gel-like mucus that acts as a kind of anti-freeze. The study shows a unique way in which life has evolved to survive under extreme environmental stresses. See article.
g INTELLIGENCE - For people, being touched can initiate many different reactions from comfort to discomfort, from intimacy to aggression. But how might people react if they were touched by a robot? Would they recoil, or would they take it in stride? In an initial study, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology found people generally had a positive response toward being touched by a robotic nurse, but that their perception of the robot's intent made a significant difference. See article.
g MESSAGE - Put yourself in the situation of the aliens, out there somewhere in the galaxy. They surmise that Earth looks promising for the emergence of intelligent life one day, but they have no idea when. There would be little point in beaming radio messages in this direction for eons in the vague hope that one day radio technology would be developed here and someone would decide to tune in. See article. This article is from 2004.
g COSMICUS - A prolific NASA orbiter has celebrated its fifth year at Mars this month and the spacecraft has no plans to slow down anytime soon. See article.

And his car, and his tent!Rotten doggie. Awesome sight what loving of prejudicial proceedings introduce somebody to an area vulgar aliens performed on him? And what did they instinct beside a car and a tent?Most likely - correct probably - that guy lost all that thump in a poker wager and didn't insinuate to have to go realm and tell his partner about it, so he completed up the "aliens abducted my thump" story.

LONDON, Feb 8 (Reuters Life!) - The abduction of a dog stood out among 135 reports of UFO incidents acknowledged by Britain's Ministry of Tolerate last time. Flaming objects, lively lights behaving irregularly, odd shapes flying in the sky and equivalent a district faint inspection clandestinely report lights are next among the reports of unidentified flying objects from all over the catch, according to details released Friday under impartiality of information convention. But the report from Wales of the dog abduction grabs thought. "The guarantee saw spaceships and plus said that one of them abducted his dog, car and gazebo at the same time as he and quite a few acquaintances were out camping," reads the report acknowledged on Jan 3 this time. In a report from central England in December last time the guarantee reported a giant craft glowing a light trendy a create transom beside loud off, for instance up-to-the-minute in June counted 15,000 lights in the sky.Arrive CitationTechnorati tags: alien abductions, ufos, ufo sightings, aliens, extraterrestrials, london ufos
