UFO Sightings

The thought of being alone in the universe is one that people for centuries have debated. UFO sightings date back to before Biblical times, but many remain unconvinced that some kind of life is out there. Although, that opinion may be changing over the last couple of years since video evidence has shown that we may not be alone after all.

Straight up - I have never seen a UFO, or even seen something that makes me think it's a UFO. But I don't walk around staring into the sky either. I Want to Believe! The problem is, I've never seen anything in person that actually makes me believe.

But others see sightings all the time. According to Slackers list, Texas ranks 4th in the U.S. in UFO sightings with 3,848 sightings.
