it is no secret that the universe we live in is colossal. Billions of galaxies among galaxies, each of them possibly containing planets and worlds of their own; which begs the question: are we the only living creatures existing in this universe? Up until this moment, scientists have not found any evidence of living things in this universe except here on Earth, but there are many convincing arguments that propose we are not alone. Knowing that there are more planets in the universe than the sum of all sounds and words ever said by every human who has ever lived, it would be very egocentric of us to believe that Earth must be the only planet that supports life. One form of possible evidence of there being life beyond Earth, are the unidentified

UFO sightings have not only been reported on Earth but also in space by astronauts such as Robert White, Major Gordon Cooper and many others. Despite the lack of clear answers, it is foolish to ignore and dismiss these UFO sighting reports only because we cannot comprehend them.
Other people, however, disagree completely with the idea that UFOs are debatable mysteries that may or may not be from another planet carrying within them extra-terrestrial beings. An unusual looking flying object seen in the sky shouldn’t immediately mean ‘Aliens’! Comets, rockets, military jets, weather balloons, fireballs, satellites, meteors, experimental craft, and odd looking clouds can all be mistaken for UFO’s. James Oberg, a former NASA employee who worked in mission control, set out to disprove decades' worth of UFO sightings using his professional expertise in space missions. “…he’s come to an interesting conclusion: human senses, evolved in and trained on (relatively) slow-moving objects, certain light conditions, and an atmosphere, get thrown into a [panic] when those conditions change” (Giaimo, 2016). In 2015, an unknown object was seen shooting across the night sky and then erupted leaving behind it a bright tale of blue
