Essay on the Mystery of UFOS (518 Words)
What exactly is a UFO? Where do they come from? What do they want from us? 90 Per cent of these reports are Hoaxes, Conventional objects, or some poor person going insane. The other 10 per cent is considered UFO enigma.
The data of the first UFO sighting is not known. Some researchers say that UFO sightings date back to ancient times.

There is no evidence for this speculation, so it is just a thought. Most researchers though mark the beginning of sightings in the United States in the later 1800s; they were called ‘the Mystery Airships’.
The next major fleets of sightings were during the Second World War, from pilots who says metal like objects floating in the sky. These fighter pilots called them ‘fool fighters’. And in 1947 in Europe, there were sightings of silent ‘ghost rockets’. None of these speculations were ever entirely explained.
The UFO phenomenon entered the publics’ eye on June 24, 1947, at 2:44am, when private pilot Kenneth Arnold reported sighting nine circular objects in the skies over the state of Washington. He (Kenneth) described these objects like ‘saucers skipping over water’. There the term Flying Saucer was born.
Since 1947 there have been UFO sightings in almost every country sometimes there is something called a UFO wave, which for a short time UFO sighting increases rapidly in one certain area? For instance, UFO waves occurred in France and Italy in 1954, in New Guinea in 1958, and in the USSR in 1967. In the United States and Canada, waves happened in 1947, 1952, 1957, 1965-67, and in 1979. Nobody can explain anything about these waves. Attempts to link them with hysteria, mentality and stress have all failed.

There are thousands of sightings each year. In 1973, a Gallup poll said that 11 per cent of the American public has had an encounter with a UFO. More then 500,000 worldwide sighting reports have been computerised.
A study of these reports is random and shows no pattern. Witnesses cut across economic, class, race and educational lines. However, a greater percentage of these reports have come from people living in rural areas, then from people living in urban areas. The reason for this is unknown.
Witnesses report many, many different shapes and sizes of UFO’s even shape changing ones. The famous ‘Two bowls joined at the rim’ shape is reported often, but reports of objects shaped like cigars, squares, balls, triangles, rings, and guitars are also common.
Most of these reports are of objects from far away, but reports of close encounters also exist. Some of the most interesting sightings are reported on or near the ground. Often the person claims that the ship left a mark or something on the ground, this is called a ‘Trace Case’. Sometimes these cases are said to make mechanical or electrical things to go haywire.

Claims of witnessing a UFO have come from sober, reliable people. These reports, however, have to be separated from the ‘contacted’, who claim they have been a part of the Alien Brotherhood, who gave them UFO rides to other times and planets.
