This is the UFO Research Project for Wikiversity. Anyone is welcome to add to this page, both good and bad views about UFO's. The main purpose of this page is: Do UFO's and life in outer space really exist? Or is it our imagination, or are people just making it up to try and be big and make fame?

[edit] Outline

Aliens and UFO's have supposedly been sighted around the world by many people, but its strange that no one has ever actually gained proof that they exist. They say the governments of the nations hide the proof, bribe people to stay quiet, and silence the media. Is this true, or is it just a cover up to why there is no evidence. The best place, that such a thing can be debated on, is Wikiversity, where everyone can share their views and points.


[edit] What exactly is a UFO?

A UFO, means unidentified flying object, and doesn't always relate to aliens. This term can mean anything, which fits under that name. However, the majority of people use the term UFO, as alien spaceships. This page covers both on aliens, and alien spaceships. Many UFO'S are seen throughout the world everyday, mostly in rural areas. But just because they've seen them, doesn't mean that aliens are real, as it could have been anything from a balloon to an airplane.

An alleged picture of a Ufo. Hoax or genuine?

[edit] Life in outer space

The idea of life in outer space is a lot more likely than the existence of UFO's and extremely advanced lifeforms as not all outerspace life forms will have the technology to create spaceships and such things. Life in outerspace may be nothing of what we think it to be. As life is life, and it could be anything from a tiny bacteria invisible to the eye, to the fish swimming in the sea. The existence of life in outerspace is very likely, but unfortunately, has never been proved.

[edit] Have your say

If you would like to comment about UFO's and life in outer space on Wikiversity, please do so here and not on the talk page which is basically intended to feature discussions on improving the article. If you would like to ever report a UFO sighting on Wikiversity, which could improve our research and evidence on UFO's, please post it on this page. UFO and alien sightings

I wonder if it a serious error to place so much emphasis on UFOs. If there are visitors to Earth from other stars then the best evidence for that might take forms other than UFOs. I have similar doubts about placing emphasis on searches for radio signals from extraterrestrial civilizations. We need to "think outside of the box". --JWSchmidt 18:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I think they are our ancestors, more commonly our cousins,and they will not at one point harm us like they do in some films. But mainly help us with our society and what is wrong with it. By countless research, I found out that many people believe they will come by the year 2012. And will not appear their true physical self, but as human forms. Think of the great Nostradamus, many visions he has had that came true, as might this one. So my conclusion is that by the year 2012, we will all discover neighbors in our vast galaxy.

It is inevitable that we are not alone and that some are more advanced then we although some maybe more primitive.The reason they are here you're guess is as good as mine but i kind of think of Start Trek prime directive as the reason we don't see more of them or they do not interfere .But anyhow here a link to the most disturbing sighting in US history since Roswell and of course rare are does who know I am talking of the Pheonix lights of 1997 but why? Is it not sufficient enough to see the disinformation going on ? maybe not Mr J.A.Delphin Febuary 6 2007

[edit] Past research on UFOs

that scientists should investigate UFO claims rather than ignore the subject.

The United States Air Force conducted investigations into UFO sightings, a program that came to be known as "Project Blue Book". Sagan participated in a review of Project Blue Book. The review committee concluded that Project Blue Book was not a scientific study and advocated future scientific research into UFO-related reports. The most famous research into UFO phenomena was conducted by the Condon Committee and concluded that there was no solid evidence linking UFO reports to alien life. Sagan helped arrange for an open scientific debate about the methods and conclusions of Condon Committee.

Sagan frequently wrote about UFOs and included discussion of the possibility of alien life in his television program, Cosmos. In his book, The Demon-Haunted World, Sagan explored the idea there are

Most research takes place under the widely-adopted term "SETI", Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence.
