UFOs: Earth's Closest Encounters

Witness some of history's most baffling, puzzling and perplexing mysteries on our planet, as we look back at the most influential UFO sightings in history... from the Battle of LA, to the infamous Rendlesham Forest Incident. As we question the unquestionable facts, and explain the unexplainable. Blurring the lines between science fiction and reality. Are we alone? Whichever way we answer the fundamental question... as a species we remain in the shadows. All alone, drifting through the empty vacuum of space in an ever expanding lonely universe. Or, we are left fearful... in the dark of the unknown. As 5% of unexplainable flying object sightings suggest, extra terrestrial beings, advanced and powerful enough to traverse the cosmos may already be within our atmosphere. The idea has permeated through our science fiction and popular cultures for decades, pushing ufology through an age of ridicule and entertainment. Sightings of unidentifiable lights in the sky date back as far as ancient Egypt, where fiery disks were seen floating across the sky. As technology progressed through the ages, our understanding expanded. Most sightings can be explained away as lights from aerial vehicles, lighthouses, airports, and bizarre or common natural phenomena. A small fraction... remains unidentified. This small fraction leaves humanity with an unanswered question, which questions the very fabric of existence as we know it. Challenging our own understanding and perception of the order of the cosmos. Conspiracies built on secretive government cover ups, and creative hoaxes has sent Ufology into the realm of disbelief. Forget your biased beliefs, and confront your fundamental understanding.
