Throughtout the ages,man has always been eager to explain the happenings in the  sky. Unidentified Flying Objects(UFO) pose a great  mystery to the present scientists.Some American scientists have categorically negated the phenomenon.But some do agree. They explain U.F.O as objects from other distant galaxy.Yet no unanimous decision has been reached. The mystery of U.F.O continue to be elusive and intriguing.
Practically everywhere people have seen it. Reports of sighting U.F.O have come from 133 countries of the world. Out of the 70,000 reports, 95 percent have been dismissed as a fake. They have been explained as weather ballons,lighting,rockets,birds and insects. But the remaining 5 percent have not been explained till today. And these mysterious sighting have been called U.F.O.
In 1978, aunique case occured in melbourne . Pilot Frederick Valentich noticed something approching towards him. He radioed ,"The thing orbitting on top of me. Its hovering and its not an aircraft .It is...". At this point the trasmission broke off.Nothing futher was heard from Valentich. It was thought that his plane must havecrashed into the Tasmanian sea.But no traces of the plane were found.On the other hand, there
occured more reports of mysterious objects in ew Zealand.
These bizzare incidents caused Melbourne television crew to mark the air route between Willington and Christ Chruch.The TV cameramen shot some 20,000 frames of 16mm film. They documented the presence of some mysterious objects.And when search was carried out by Dr.Bruce Maccabee, optical physicist U.S Navy, the film revealed an intriguing mysterious flying object that oscillated at a constant frequency from a large bright
yellowish white circular shape to a dim yellow and red triangular shape. Dr.Maccabee suggested that the object was throwing a powerful light, equivalent to 100,000 watts. He also calculated that each object must be between 60-100 ft across and that they might be travelling at the speed of 3000 miles per hour.
The history of sigtting such odjectss in sky is quite ancient .Some of the sighting were raised to the pedestal of Gods by ancient people . Even in the bibilical Book of Genesis, jacob dreamt of an angel-lined ladder ascending to Heaven. Colombus alsoreported "a light glimmering at a great distance".
Some scholars have suggested that U.F.O were nothing else but spaceship from another galaxy which visite earth. The most active propagtor of this theory is the swiss author , Erich Von Daniken.He published a book in 968,'Chariots of the Gods'. In this book he suggested that many of man's ancient works , like pyramids and the entire Summarien civilisation must have been built upnby the help of the superior beings from other planets.The serious modern research began
sometime in 1947.Kenneth Arnold- a businessman and a pilot , was flying his own private plane when suddenly he noticed some disc like pdjects.The objects he explained were flying in a chain and must be having a speed of 1200 miles per hour.In 1970 , an incident occured in Saladare in Ethiopia . A redball, making a sound like an aeroplane swept the area. It destroyed houses and knocked down the stone wall of a bridge and uprooted trees. Suprisingly no incident of fire occurred.
In 1972 several mysterious radioactive impressions were discovered in Nams Fjore. Contrary to the reports of destruction caused by UFO, there are many cases in which patients have got well, and they found to their amazement that their wounds healed.
Third category of encounetr with UFO is completely different.In this category some of the UFO are said to be human-like in appearence. Such encounters have usually occurred with clergymen,housewives,physicians and farmers.They claimed that they flew with UFO.But when asked to prove it htey mereiy said that they were kidnapped by Humanoids(as UFO beings have been nicknamed).Most amusing are the reactions of people towards UFO. The reactions of people depict thier cultural pattern.
French curiously approach towards UFO humanoids, US citizens react with fear and hostility and the priests of Papua Guinea wave at them.
The vital question is what are UFOs? Since , scientists have failed to explain them in conventional terms- natural phenomana, misidentification , fabrication or mental aberration.A poll done in US in 1978 indicated that most citizens took it to be some form of extraterrestial intelliegnce.Some scientists belive that intelligence life might exit beyond earth.However , scientists reject that UFO's are real.Earth is the home for some intelligent life forms, the most advanced among them are the
human beings, this intelligence and capability to survive acme to us through evolution, So can it be possible for some planet to sustain life like earth and it can also contain life form evolving in the same way we evolved.So we cannot totally eliminate the possibility of extra terrestial life forms, they are be possible.
Despite such strong recommendations , people continue to witness UFO films and ficyion is written adout them.If so much cotinues to happen around the syndrome of UFO, certainly Dr.Condon could not have been right. Whatever are UFO- whether visitors from outer ,distant galaxy or natural manisfestation of unknown force of human mind- yhe mysterious phenomenon does conyinue to elude any answers.
