Are we alone? I say no.
I mean, in the bigger scheme of things. The Universe is infinite. Whatever that is. And we are not even for sure that this is the only Universe.
What I’m trying to say is that it is a big place out there.
Ever since something spun out of space and crashed in the desert near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, the craze surrounding unidentified flying objects (UFOs) has seemingly never ended.
As it goes, now more than ever, UFO sightings are being discussed in a truly academic manner. Everyone is weighing in on the subject, from government officials to military personnel to scientists. In fact, the U.S. government has come forward and confirmed there are indeed objects of unknown origin flying about in the sky.
Believing in UFOs used to be considered on the fringe of things. A conspiratorial belief at best. But, the UFO dimension has now become the focus of mainstream media attention and governmental consideration.
So, let’s take a look back at an interesting UFO sighting from history.

Phoenix Lights.
On March 13, 1997, thousands of people across Nevada, Arizona, and northern Mexico spotted a series of UFOs hovering in the night sky above. Witnesses reported several smaller objects that looked like floating orbs and a larger, V-shaped aircraft the size of several football fields over Phoenix, Arizona.
This incident is known as the Phoenix Lights, and it is one of the most hotly debated UFO sightings of all time.
The UFOs remained in the air for about three hours, from roughly 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., with thousands of civilians staring up at them in awe. Pilots in the region also reported what they saw to air traffic controllers, but none of them could pick up anything out of the ordinary on their radars.
Some estimates claimed the larger UFO was roughly the size of three football fields, but others believed it was more than a mile long.
A 31-year-old man named Dana Valentine saw the Phoenix Lights from his backyard and called his father, an aeronautics engineer, outside to see them. The two watched as the V-shaped craft passed them by, hovering just 500 feet above.
“We could see the outline of a mass behind the lights, but you couldn’t actually see the mass,” Valentine later said. “It was more like a gray distortion of the night sky, wavy. I don’t know exactly what it was, but I know it’s not a technology the public has heard of before.”
Another witness, 54-year-old Tim Ley, claimed he also saw the lights. Like Valentine, Ley said, “You couldn’t actually see the object. All you could see was the outline, as though something was blotting out the stars.”
Despite the high number of witnesses, the U.S. government was quick to try and discredit their testimonies. Officials claimed the orbs were nothing more than flares deployed as part of a military exercise.
To top it off, the then-Arizona governor, Fife Symington III, initially mocked the public’s concerns, unveiling someone dressed as an alien at a press conference.
However, Symington would later say that he, too, had seen the objects — and believed they were not of this world.

There are many other credible stories from all around the world. Stories about UFOs. I’m not walking around my house in my tinfoil hat or anything, yet I tend to believe these stories, especially when thousands of people report seeing the same thing, such as this.
Say what you will, true or false. But you must admit. It is a massive existence out there, and we humans are not even tiny specks on the dust in the Universe.

Is it really up there, or are we dreaming?
