UFOs aren’t new. Indeed, humans have been describing unidentified flying objects for millennia, with depictions of disk-like objects and unusual atmospheric objects found in the art and literature of ancient civilizations from the Sumerians and the Egyptians to the Greeks and Romans.
But the modern era of UFOs took off in the middle of the 20th century, right around the time rockets and high-tech aircraft were being devised, often in secret. Coincidence? Paranoia? Perhaps. In any event, these seven UFO sightings gained a lot of attention—and raised a lot of eyebrows.
Many things are taking place:
Area 51 and aliens: The myth, meme, and the strange reality, explained - Vox
It's been 30 years since the public first heard about Area 51. Here's why UFO hunters are still obsessed.
Thousands of people are expected to travel to desert towns in Nevada this weekend, inspired by a viral call to " storm Area 51 " in hopes of overpowering the US military and uncovering whatever government secrets might be hiding there.
The desert base, which is entirely off-limits to civilians, has long been at the center of a conspiracy among alien fans and ufologists — people who hunt for UFOs. Somewhere amid Area 51's vast desert acreage, they believe, is a heavily guarded underground lab where the government keeps and studies captured alien aircraft — and possibly even aliens themselves.
Footage Reveals 'Fleet' Of Mysterious Flying Objects Hovering Over Ocean - News18
New footage has emerged from off the coast of North Carolina, USA, showing what theorists are sure is a 'fleet' of UFOs.
According to a report in Lad Bible , the footage was taken on board a ferry by William Guy, who spotted the 14 lights hovering in the air, while he was travelling across the Pamlico Sound lagoon.
In the video, as the camera pans across the horizon, Guy can be heard saying, "Look, nothing in the sky, at all," adding, "Can anybody tell me what that is? We're in the middle of the ocean, on a ferry. There's nothing around, no land, no nothing."

Do these declines reveal that UFO interest is becoming a blip on the human cultural radar? Perhaps UFO and alien lore is seeming more like a reflection of human culture, tied to the space age, motivated by conquering new existential frontiers.
He adds: "It isn't so much that belief can exist without proof; it's that it must emphatically avoid proof to remain belief. We are in the process, paradoxically, of proving a negative hypothesis with UFOs: there never was any such thing."
Quite a lot has been going on:

A Radar Blip, a Flash of Light: How U.F.O.s 'Exploded' Into Public View - The New York Times
In the early morning of July 20, 1952, Capt. S.C. "Casey" Pierman was ready for takeoff at Washington National Airport, when a bright light skimmed the horizon and disappeared. He did not think much of it until he was airborne, bound for Detroit, and an air traffic controller told him two or three unidentified flying objects were spotted on radar traveling at high speed.
Captain Pierman's 68-year-old daughter, Faith McClory, said in an interview last month that her father became something of a celebrity as reports like his in the summer of 1952 fueled fear of a space alien invasion.
Are extraterrestrials extra patriotic? - Daily chart
IN THE FINAL scene of "Independence Day", a blockbuster film from 1996, Captain Steve Hiller (Will Smith), having saved the world from alien annihilation, watches as exploding debris from a UFO mothership lights up the sky, just in time for the American holiday. Turning to his stepson, he says with a smile, "Didn't I promise you fireworks?" For Americans, such pyrotechnic displays are an important Fourth of July tradition. Can the same be said for UFOs?
