The Origins and History of UFOs
The modern UFO craze began in 1947 when businessman Kenneth Arnold reported seeing a convoy of unusual aerial craft that were later referred to as flying saucers. The US government, through projects like Project Blue Book, initially dismissed these sightings as unrelated to their own projects. However, in recent years, attention has shifted due to the release of declassified videos by the US military, showing unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) such as the Tic Tac incident. Congress has mandated the creation of a program to study these encounters and report their findings. While the nature and origin of these UAPs are still unknown, the existence of classified military projects cannot be ruled out.
