Are Aliens Real?
The general argument made by D.M. Murdock in her work, “Are UFO’s and Aliens Real?” is that there are a number of different types now complied under the heading of legendary “sky people,” humans, gods, and possibly aliens. More specifically, she argues that they are not always called aliens, but planetary bodies, such as the sun, moon, earth, planets, stars, etc. Murdock writes, “the Greek Sun God, Apollo, is most assuredly just that: A sun god, not an alien flying through the sky in his chariot spaceship.” In this article, Murdock is suggesting that legends say that when chaos descended, these man made “spacecraft” transported a number of inhabitants to elsewhere, which is speculated to be the moon, Mars, Venus, or another destination, including inside the earth, or under the sea. In conclusion, Murdock’s belief is that “obviously, none of these creatures is an alien however.” Murdock is right in my opinion because I have never once seen an alien or any sort of UFO. More specifically I believe that aliens are not real, but the sightings and reporting’s a form of hominid species. For example, with the discovery of homo floresiensis or “the hobbit,” which thrived 12,000 years ago, way before we discovered aliens.” Although Murdock might counter that UFO sightings have been dismisses as the planet Venus, many sightings are explainable by a man made phenomena, but some are not. I maintain that millions of people in the past few decades have reported seeing something that is clearly unidentifiable. Abduction by aliens has been mistaken as an hallucination. I don’t believe aliens are real, but the fact remains that some of them cannot be so easily dismissed.
For hundreds of years unexplainable "sky quakes" or roaring explosions have been heard in various parts of the world, long before jets existed to break the sound barrier. UFOs—"Unidentified Flying Objects," not necessarily piloted by human creatures—have been buzzing around the sky for centuries. In modern times,

Foster ranch, went to check on his sheep one morning after a series of severe thunderstorms.

Upon riding out to the pastures, Brazel discovered a huge amount of strange debris scattered across the fields. Not knowing what this strange debris was, Brazel gathered some of it and showed it to his friends…

    UFO or NASA weather balloon? There is a wealth of UFO sightings around the world. There is also always someone around to see it. These videos are full of shaky footage and interesting commentary. It could be a UFO? And the video is put to the test through peer evaluation, usually on YouTube. Rational folk always have an answer. A drone. Trump flying around with bat wings. Or a more simpler explanation, a NASA weather balloon. It would be difficult to dismiss the chance that a real UFO has been caught on film. But over the next 100 days or so, you may simply be recording a NASA weather balloon. Since NASA has one hovering around the earth somewhere at an altitude in upwards of 100,000 feet.…
