The Pros And Cons Of UFO Religions

Late one summer night in July of 1947, a couple saw a large glowing object quickly fly across the sky. It was later reported that a weather balloon crashed nearby. People have often wondered if it actually was a weather balloon, and some have believed it to be a downed alien craft that the government covered up. Theories about a Roswell coverup did not become widely known to the American public until a few decades after the crash. This change in public knowledge demonstrates the variability of conspiracy theories--some become popular immediately following the events they try to explain, and some can take years to catch on. From the crash in Roswell in 1947 to current day, America’s public knowledge of theories about Roswell has grown at an unsteady pace, driven by the types of technology used to disseminate information. America’s knowledge of the Roswell incident has developed in three phases. First, immediately after the crash in 1947, there was some attention given to the crash, but it was mostly local news reports. Second, after the testimony in 1984 of an eyewitness who was a major in the air force, conspiracies blossomed. Finally, after interest diminished had begun to diminish, the internet ignited another increase in Roswell theories.

Nearly half of our dear earthlings believe that extraterrestrial creatures and UFOs are real, but we still do not have a single piece of solid evidence that proves, aliens and flying saucers are in fact real. For the past few years people have been reporting alien sightings, but none of them have been fully proven. Scientists and other officials have proven them to be wrong again and again with government explanations. Aliens are extraterrestrial creatures that do not exist. In the cases of Roswell, area 51, and alien abduction, actual facts have proven that they were indeed misunderstandings by the public that caused people to think that there were alien and UFO sightings.

     In 1947 a UFO was seen near the town of Roswell, New Mexico. It was

Aliens as a pseudoscience at times can be somewhat controversial because the belief in aliens is mainly interpreted in two ways. One belief is the idea that aliens exist somewhere in the universe but have not necessarily visited earth. The second main interpretation is the belief that aliens visited earth before and/or currently visiting earth in UFO’s. This belief is more pseudoscientific than the first because, the odds of the mere existence of aliens is a matter of probability. But, the second is more difficult to explain and often relies on some pseudoscientific explanations, reasoning errors, and visual illusions. The belief in UFO and aliens visiting earth is a lot more common than most people realize as Rice ( 2003) points out in his study. In a survey of about 1,000 people in the U.S, 35% of people stated they believed extraterrestrials have visited Earth at some point in the past while, 40% did not

Alien invasion has been on the minds of many, and it is not something to take lightly. Aliens are real, the United States government has confirmed this, and these craft may be even closer than some claim. Unexplainable UFO sightings have been on the rise, popularized with the crash at Roswell, and they are not going anywhere. The fact that aliens are involved in these sightings is indisputable, but there are people who refuse to accept the truth. Many people state that Area 51 is just a “military base” and Roswell was just a spy balloon crash, but there is proof that there are aliens involved in both Area 51 and Roswell.

Any discussion on this conspiracy, however, will not be complete without talking what went and goes on in Roswell, New Mexico, or better known as Area 51. Area 51 is known to be a US Military Base where 75 miles away, there reported to be a UFO crash landing on July 2, 1947 that left an exceptional amount of debris all over the area. The Roswell Army Air Field reported that they recovered a “flying disc” but a few hours after this information was released, the government immediately said it was a “weather balloon.” RAAF even reported having recovered alien bodies but as expected, the government denied again and simply stated that it was the military men’s trauma from accidents. Countless witnesses during and after the reported crash date have confirmed seeing flying objects, crop circles and usual activity within the area. Area 51 is now conspired to be a place where they examine evidences of alien bodies, UFO crashes, etc, but the government refuses to confirm and have denied these allegations. More than sightings, as promised, let me take you in on one of the craziest abduction stories.

Even though the three big reasons why aliens do not exist has been explained for this argument, there are still smaller reasons that add to the fact that there are no other existing alien civilizations other than ours here on Earth. One of those reasons is that governments do not give very much evidence supporting the existence of alien civilization. In fact, European governments have completely disclosed everything they know about UFO’s. The only evidence most governments give out to the public is testimonial evidence. There has never been any real hard physical evidence. Another reason is that scientists, in a sense, know that aliens can not exist, but they use the ridicule excuse as a cover up to explain why they do not admit UFO’s are real. Scientists are supposedly afraid of the ridicule they would receive if they would happen to admit aliens do exist. On the other hand, scientists lie and cheat to gain fame and fortune for all kinds of research and investigations. The discovery of UFO’s would make them big and famous, but yet all

The topic of aliens is often a very controversial one to talk about. The aliens in THE FOURTH KIND represent many fears that we have has as humans such as the fear of feeling inferior. That is why many people don’t like to acknowledge that there could possibly be other intellectual species outside of earth, due to the fear of them feeling inferior to a more advanced life form. If aliens are anything like the human species then we should all be afraid, due to the fact that the human race killed most of the animal species and even kidnapped and enslaved other humans. If extraterrestrials ever came to our planet, their technology and intellect would be far more advanced than ours and that could possibly hurt humanity because they could have the power and technology to enslave us. They also represent how people would be willing to do wicked things like using science and technology for malevolent purposes. The aliens abuse of power in the film reflect how humans could possibly turn out if we obtained their technology. Humans could learn to one-day build rockets and spacecraft’s that can travel to other planets and their main goal would be to use these technologies to benefit ourselves. If we had the power to overtake another planet and inhabit it, we would not hesitate to do so and we are willing to do the unthinkable for power and advancement. Aliens also represent the fear of there being no god or religion because most religious people oppose science and credit god for

Studies have shown that people who are the most religious believe more in magic and superstitious. “If we are so focused on a powerful “God” who controls our destiny, why do we not wonder who created?” questions like this come from those who have the strongest; belief in God himself (Carter 4). 70 percent of church goers do not fully believe in the back of their religion, or believe or what is supposed to happen after their death (Carter 5). With religious belief, there is no true religion. The more known religions is how an individual is born and raised into maturity. There are big differences in religion based on the theme of the nation. Most people who are born into a certain religion, there really is no changing it (Carter 6). In various parts of the world, mankind in based on superstition is the high advent of technology will slowly but surely distinigrate. Religion as it is, very few people will try and hold onto what they

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.

It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, or killed. A flight instructor, of all people, and two students decided it would be a good idea to go on a spree of buzzing cars on the freeway during the night, while attempting to look like a UFO. Their luck eventually ran out, however, when they struck power lines stretching across the freeway during a night of UFO mischief.

The mysterious appearances of UFO’s in Roswell, New Mexico have had a ripple effect on many people. These ‘’ripples’’ are peoples thoughts and ideas on the occurrence of the events in the summer of 1947. History.com says that a rancher in New Mexico by the name of Mac Brazel found an unusual object made of metallic, plastics, and foil reflectors held together by tape. Brazel then turned this information over to the Roswell sheriff, the information was further relayed to the Roswell Army Air Force base. This was just the beginning of the UFO madness, many more witnesses and events would take place.

Somtochukwu BOC-Ifeobu Dr. Detore-Nakamura HU 145 (Themes in Humanities) 2 December 2014 Prometheus: Alien Religion Prometheus is a 2012 science-fiction movie directed by Ridley Scott. In this movie, a group of humans leave earth in the year 2093 on a ship called Prometheus for a distant planet in search of the creators of humanity or engineers. While watching this movie, one can notice many Judeo-Christian themes and references to Christianity’s Jesus Christ. Based on these references, the movie can be seen as an allegory/symbolic representation of Jesus Christ, the crucifixion and the sins of the world. This essay highlights religious references in this book and explains their symbolism.

At times when illegal immigration has been the subject of much debate in the United States, there have been many conspiracy theorist claiming that there have been many sightings of migrants from outside this planet. These sighting of alien and unidentified flying object (UFO) has been topic of discussion for relatively long time now. This video is 1991 interview with Amaury Rivera Toro, one of the alien witnesses, who claims to have been abducted by aliens in Puerto Rico on May 14, 1988. Throughout the interview, Rivera tells his tale of abduction, encounter with the aliens, who were human like, and presents the picture of the UFO. The video is then followed by an interview with a conspiracy theorist who has been working on the similar cases and supports the claims made by Rivera.

Extraterrestrial encounters of all forms and kinds leave some kind of evidence whether it is physical or non tangible evidence like a person’s story of seeing a flying saucer or possesses photos of the unidentified flying object. These forms of evidence aren’t always the most reliable as many are reported false and considered hoaxes. Ever since the incident at Roswell, any information or evidence that proves other worldly existence automatically becomes the center of attention and can bring an individual fame and even
