UFOs are not alien to everyone
The fact is, our knowledge is bound to be limited when it comes to unravelling the secrets of our infinite galaxies and we shouldn't always be able to define objects.

The mysteries of our universe would have us believe that there's more to life than what we already know. The fact is, our knowledge is bound to be limited when it comes to unravelling the secrets of our infinite galaxies and we shouldn't always be able to define objects.
From that standpoint, it is fascinating to learn that a group of American pilots have demanded their government reopen an investigation into unidentified flying objects (UFOs) which was closed in 1969. They are convinced that not all UFOs can be explained away in "down-to-earth, conventional terms".
UFOs have fascinated many for some time. People are split on whether or not UFOs exist. Some believe them to be a celestial phenomenon while others, the majority that is, think they are simply fictitious. Investigations cost money and can be time-consuming. Perhaps the US government can investigate other more pertinent issues facing it.
Just a thought.
