Aliens Among Us: Introduction

0 Conversations

From the beginning of time, humans have asked the same questions:


"Where do we come from?"

"Who created us?"

"How was the universe created?"

Over many years, different answers have been given to these questions, but it is still unknown, whether we will truly know the real answers

Over the last century, new questions have been asked:


"Are we alone in the universe?"

"Do Aliens exist?"

"Have we already been visited by Aliens?"

"Are there any Aliens Among Us?"

This project is here to show people the evidence, to give different opinions and theories, and to show people the Aliens Among Us.

What are Aliens and UFOs?

Aliens

The word Alien can mean many different things. It can either mean:

  1. A foreigner
  2. Any person or thing that is strange or unfamiliar

The word Alien has now become the name for creatures who come from another world. This fills both meanings of the word, as they are foreign and come from a foreign world, and they are strange and unfamiliar. This is probably the reason that the word became the name for creatures from another world, as in our language it suits them the most.

UFOs

UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object. This can mean anything that is flying but is not identified (you don't know what it is). However, this term has become the name of Alien spacecraft that are seen. The term for Alien spacecraft used to be Flying Saucer, which came from an early account of someone seeing a "Flying Saucer" in the sky, but nowadays Alien spacecraft appear in many differnt forms, so the term UFO has become more suitable. However, most UFO sightings are still of craft that look like saucers, and Flying Saucer is still a term used by people when talking about Alien spacecraft.

Another fact that makes UFO more suitable is that the Flying craft in the sky may not be Alien spacecraft, but something else. What is seen may be a special hoax, it may be just an airoplane whose lights make it look like a UFO, it may be the strange colour of 1 or more of the Planets, or it may be a new experimental craft created by the United States Government. Since the craft could be anything, it truly is an Unidentified Flying Object.
