If UFOs and ETs are fake, then why...?

Question

have there been so many accounts about encounters with them over the century? How is it possible that all these people report the same thing? And if it's just a houx, why did so many people give accounts of these encounters. I mean i just saw today over at Youtube this whole UFO interview thing that showed vids that claims to be an actual footage of an ET. Its like the more i know, the more i don't know. What is your take on this?

Answer 1

I'm pretty much a skeptic on certain things, but not this one. Of course you come across "kooks" that say they were abducted by aliens or candidates that falsify information of "hoax" UFOs like the ones in Haiti (Look up UFO in Haiti on youtube.com)

Here is proof that the government likes to falsify information from the public. They have been doing it more than 50 years. It is beginning to tick me off.

I finally came across some facts in finding UFO information from this website:

You may need a fee to get more forms or pay a fee.

And this video in how the government hides stuff from us.

I'm not asking for points, but I hope everybody else's information helps you.

Answer 2

People will always report any light in the sky they can´t identify as a UFO. Just look at some of the questions here on yahoo. One asks "When can I see the Perseid meteorshower?". Seconds later someone asks "I saw a strange light in the sky. It looked like a fireball exploding. Was it a UFO?". Take a wild guess as to what the person saw. People still today report Venus as a UFO just because they don´t know better. I think at the heart of the matter is that many of us today live in lightpolluted citites. Many have never had a clear view of the night sky and travelling outside a city some people will see the night sky for the first time and hardly know what they are seeing. After the Northridge quake power went out in Los Angeles. 911 operators were suddenly swamped with calls from people asking not when the power will be back on but what is that strange huge UFO hovering above the city. The people of Los Angeles had just caught a glimpse of the Milky Way for the first time in their lives...
A lot of the UFO stuff on youtube are deliberate hoaxes. Anyone can make a UFO video today and post it. There are some very interesting videos there, however, that were shot before the digital revolution. Even I have a really hard time finding an explanation for them. But just because something defies explanation that doesn´t mean that there are ETs flying around. Many UFOs can very well be natural phenomena that currently are not identified. And not aliens at all.

Answer 3

Do not listen to your Governments false information on UFOs. They are real, and they are here. If you saw and took a video of a UFO, your Government would make you into some kind of nut. They would do what was ever necessary to make you look like a liar and call your video a fake. There are many good people from all over the world that have reported sightings, abductions, and encounters with alien life. They all can not be wrong. Trust me on this.

Answer 4

How come so many people believe in ghosts, astrology, telekinetic power, card reading, and other scam that were proved not to exist?

Same thing. People want to know something other people don't, and I'd venture than the less educated, the more someone tries to compensate by believing in the occult or in aliens visiting earth.

There was an experiment done a few years ago: the testers planted a fake UFO by the side of a road, with blinking lights and stuff, and videotaped it all. Later, they debriefed the witnesses, and you would not believe the embellishments they had; not only that, but people tended to add things that went along with what is considered the "typical" UFO experience.

Answer 5

Truth is, nobody really knows if there are UFOs and aliens. The only proof they have are the blinding, unrecognizable lights they claim are spaceships or those strange creatures that appear in pictures that may as well be an animal taken very badly at night. There is no real proof in these pictures or videos even through years of pain-stacking research on the videos. I think its all a hoax. Most of the people giving you answers look at sites that say the aliens or flying saucers are real from ACTUAL footage then tell you what they think. I am telling you out of common sense what I think is the truth. In fact those people who put the UFO thing on youtube may have did it as a joke or to get attention. Truth is, nobody knows.

Answer 6

All you need is one person to make a real slick CGI video (which almost anyone with a decent computer can do these days). Its not hard to post anything you want (true, false, or fake) on YouTube. Then all you have to do is watch the rubes fall for it.

Before we had all the internet sites for this type of questionable "footage", all you needed was one person to tell their story, then anyone else could simply repeat it or add to it and make it their "account".

I will believe in aliens among us when we have physical, observable, testable proof - something real that can be tested and analyzed by objective science professionals.

Until then, ET and IFOs (they aren't UFO since the U means unidentified and the "believers" say they are space ships so they aren't unidentified, they are Identified) are just stories that are not taken seriously by logical, scientific minds.

Answer 7

Truthfully, I don't believe in UFOs. One of the main reasons for this is that with the saturation of digital cameras in the general public, credible evidence of UFOs should be becoming more and more prevalent. It is not, however. Also, most (not all) UFO sightings, encounters etc... have been disproven as mistakes or hoaxes.

It is now very easy to edit your recordings to make them much more beleivable than early hoaxes. I feel, that if someone had true video of a UFO or ET, it wouldn't be only available on YouTube or other internet video sites. There are many credible scientists and researchers who are desperate to find reliable evidence of extra terrestrial life. The fact that this "Video Evidence" is not being used by them to prove the existance of UFOs leads me to believe that this evidence is not very reliable.

Answer 8

If we Eartlhings were the ones with the flying saucers, do you think we would journey to the far reaches of the galaxy to visit another planet and then hide from everybody on the planet once we got there? What would be the point of doing this?

As one of the other answerer's said, people have active imaginations and they really want to believe in mysterious things. The idea that beings from another planet have evil intentions and want our planet is the result of years of science fiction stories and movies.

The vast distances involved in travel between solar systems makes travel between them impossible. Impossible today and impossible 1000 years in the future. No matter how advanced our technology may become we will never be able to travel to the stars because it goes against all the laws of physics.

The Voyager 1 spacecraft, one of the fastest traveling objects ever launched by humans has been traveling towards the far reaches of our solar system since 1977. It is only recently passing through the outskirts of our solar system. Once it leaves it will have to travel for more than one hundred thousand years before it could enter a neighboring solar system.

No amount of technological advance will ever be able the get past the facts. Interstellar space travel by aliens and by us in the future is only in science fiction stories.

Answer 9

Before the space age, thousands of people reported seeing fairies. I am not making that up.

Aliens are the new fairies.

And when you see some of the incredibly ignorant and stupid questions on this forum, you realise that much of the general public could be fooled into believing almost anything.

There is absolutely no scientific evidence for there being alien visitors to this planet. You have to ask yourself why these people, who probably do not look at the sky from one year to the next, end up seeing things that millions of professional astronomers and keen amateurs like me, never see.

And these days there are large telescopes all over the world photoing every part of the sky, every night.

get in touch with reality, please.

Answer 10

it's probably all a bunch of b.s. I'm not saying I know for a fact it is, but I think it's all just people copying others' ideas. Like one person comes up with a great story, suddenly all these other ppl start saying the same thing. Honestly, before the Roswell incident was popularized, reports of UFO's were extremely rare, and reports of E.T.'s were almost nonexistant. Now all the sudden everybody is seeing this stuff? I think it's either ppl's imaginations or wanting attention.
