As it reaches the inner solar system every 76 years, it was often identified as a unique isolated event in ancient historical documents whose authors were unaware that it was a repeating phenomenon. One particularly famous example is Halley's Comet: this was recorded first by Chinese astronomers in 240 BC and possibly as early as 467 BC.
People have observed the sky throughout history, and have sometimes seen unusual sights, such as comets, bright meteors, one or more of the five planets that can be readily seen with the naked eye, planetary conjunctions, and atmospheric optical phenomena such as parhelia and lenticular clouds. Skeptics find the phenomenon likely to have been a sun dog UFO enthusiasts have described the phenomenon as an aerial battle of extraterrestrial origin.

While unusual sightings have been reported in the sky throughout history, UFOs did not achieve their current cultural prominence until the period after World War II, escalating during the Space Age. Small but vocal groups of " ufologists" favour unconventional, pseudoscientific hypotheses, some of which go beyond the typical extraterrestrial visitation claims and sometimes form part of new religions. Scientists and skeptic organizations such as the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry have provided prosaic explanations for a large number of claimed UFOs being caused by natural phenomena, human technology, delusions, or hoaxes. On investigation, most UFOs are identified as known objects or atmospheric phenomena, while a small number remain unexplained.

Could UFO's represent a threat to humanity?Īccording to the Pentagon, a "cross-domain transmedium" threat is one that has the ability to move mysteriously between the sea, the air, and the space. Now, however, Congress appears to want to make a clear distinction between "man-made" and non-man-made goods. In response to a direct question on The Late Show with James Corden, for instance, Obama declined to affirm the existence of aliens but did state that a lot of unusual things have been spotted in the sky recently. The conventional wisdom holds that if UFOs are real, they are probably highly developed yet man-made vehicles. government's research of UFOs has become available. The statement is shocking mostly because many lawmakers have refrained from asserting that the unexplained flying objects were extraterrestrial or extradimensional in origin as more information regarding the U.S.
