Paranormal (Flying Saucers)

Flying Saucers

As far back as the beginning of history people have claimed to see flying saucers. Even before history, cave artists in Europe drew pictures of unusual phenomenon in the sky. During the 1950s there were many sightings and a lot of controversy. I interviewed a woman, Caroline D., who claimed her daughter saw one in Michigan. Her daughter is a Michigan State Police Trooper. This happened about eight years ago. One night in early summer a farmer called the State Police because he saw something strange in the sky over his fields. Caroline's daughter and another state trooper responded. When they arrived on the scene, the object was still in the sky "hovering." It looked like a plate turned upside down with a slightly raised dome in the middle on top. It was lit from inside, the color of the moon on a bright night. Not my friend's daughter but the trooper she was with had a digital camera in the car and took several pictures of it. He got the pictures just in time because it suddenly zipped away -- gone in a second. Caroline showed me a color copy of one of the photos, and it does, indeed look like a spacecraft.

There is no doubt in my mind that the farmer and the two state police troopers, all very credible witnesses, saw what they saw. It was not a hoax or figment of their imaginations. However, it is possible that they misinterpreted what they saw. During the 1950s the government said the UFO sightings were the result of swamp gas which rose and reflected lights and looked like images in the sky. Michigan is a wet land state. In addition to more than 10,000 small lakes there are thousands of swamps and marshes. It's possible that what they saw in the sky was a reflection of some natural phenomenon, like swamp gas, that configured itself to look like a flying saucer but wasn't really an object of "advanced technology."

Having said this, however, I must admit that the photo doesn't look anything like natural phenomenon. It looks manufactured and high tech. It is an "unidentified flying object." The question is, where did it come from? Outer space? Or a scientific experiment that originated here on earth?
