Overview

UFOs first came to public attention back in 1947, and a lack of firm answers on this topic has led to speculation, hoaxes, and a lack of credibility that make it difficult to separate myth from reality. Paul Murad provides an overview of popular UFO claims from 1933 to present, including major German, Russian, Chinese, U.K., Brazilian, and American events, along with speculation about the craft's occupants and possible intent. Paul presents detailed photos for a mixture of debunked and currently unexplained sightings, and discusses the long-term influence of cultural factors that impede serious research into this phenomenon.
