Remember When: UFOs were big in pop culture …. | Times Leader
Well, then, I’ve got some good news for you. One big part of that well-remembered decade has returned with a bang.
* * *
Yes, after countless years of inactivity, the mysterious lights and shapes that once enlivened our skies and our conversations in those long-ago days of little black-and-white TVs and Canasta parties seem to be paying a return visit.
“Sightings are rising and 2020 is shaping up to be a banner year for close encounters,” said the very un-radical publication “The Wall Street Journal” this summer.

A Word about Those UFO Videos - Scientific American Blog Network
It’s not that I think they’re actually aliens. It’s not even that I think they’re unexplainable, or that they’re obviously some particular thing or other. And although science communication experts frequently debate the effectiveness of debunking as a strategy, that’s not the source of my reluctance either. It’s because for an astrophysicist like me, there’s very little motivation to do it.
You might be surprised at this. I’m a scientist! I want to know how things work! I am interested in mysteries, and this is a mystery about space, right?
5 Weird Alien Sightings in Colorado - 5280
Fear factor: Low
Believability: Low
From the declassified documents of Project Blue Book, a federal investigation of UFOs from 1947 to 1969, emerged a 1955 report of a green-blue object shaped like a barrel in La Veta. The man blessed with the sighting? Former state Senator Sam T. Taylor, who said the ship looked "jellylike" and flew silently. We don't want to call Taylor a crackpot—then again, he did lobby the state to build a hydrogen bomb factory.
Fear factor: Low
Believability: High
"Ain't no kind of aircraft, I'll tell you that," Tim Edwards says in the 1995 video he captured of a cigarlike object above his home in Salida. It darted around the sky quicker than any human plane, and a speck of light bounced off its surface like a ball ricocheting off an Atari Pong paddle. Sure, the video could have been doctored, but the gasps of Edwards' daughter sound entirely unrehearsed.
Navy pilot who took Pentagon UFO video doesn't want link to aliens - Business Insider
"At no point did I want to speculate as to what I thought this thing was — or be associated with, you know, 'alien beings' and 'alien aircraft' and all that stuff," Underwood told the magazine. "It is just what we call a UFO. I couldn't identify it. It was flying. And it was an object. It's as simple as that."
Before Underwood spotted the flying object, he said, he received a tip from his commanding officer that there might be something strange in the sky. A few days earlier, a guided-missile cruiser called the USS Princeton had been tracking about eight to 10 mysterious flying objects near the Catalina and San Clemente islands in California.

'Aliens on Mars' had technology more advanced than humans, claims UFO hunting enthusiast Scott C
The object spotted on Martian surface looks like a long, cylindrical metal object and according to Waring, the apparent device is not only evidence of advanced aliens, but it also shows that the technology of aliens was much developed than ours.

"I found an ancient artifact on Mars today in a Gigapan photo. The photo shows an object laying on the surface of Mars that closely resembles todays modern jet engines.
The object is old, dented and has a layer of dust on it, but it still stands out clearly from the other objects in the area. This evidence is proof that aliens on Mars did have engines far more advanced than our own.
Navy Releases UFO Videos, AI Self-Driving Cars Might Solve These Mysteries
The stated reason for the Department of Defense (DoD) opting to release the videos consisted of wanting to set the record straight about the authenticity of the videos, doing so because the videos had prior been surreptitiously leaked, garnering outsized attention as possibly being fakes, plus some worried that if they were real camera images they might contain Top Secret material, divulging something that should not have been revealed.
Others said that the flying craft shown in the videos wasn't the issue, and instead, it was that the jet fighter plane cameras and the pilot maneuvering proficiency were perhaps considered a confidential matter, thus unintentionally showcasing our existing flight technology and aerial combat techniques.
Navy videos spark renewed interest in UFOs from enthusiasts and Congress - ABC News
This year's World UFO Day comes at a time of heightened interest in the decades-long search to solve the mystery of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) thanks to the Navy's recent declassification of videos that show what it called "unexplained aerial phenomena," but it's not just UFO enthusiasts who are excited.
The Navy declassified three previously leaked top-secret U.S. Navy videos in late April in an effort "to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that had been circulating was real or whether or not there is more to the videos," said Susan Gough, a Pentagon spokesperson.
