Aliens Have Been the Subject of Speculation for Decades
Whether you believe in aliens or not, the topic of life outside of our planet has been something that many people have speculated about over the years. There have been stories of little green men, or tall, slender gray beings, almost as if something of a ghost story.
Area 51
Many people believed that the United States government has known of the existence of extraterrestrial life for decades. Some claim that the government ran tests on alien technology at an Air Force Base in Nevada, commonly known as Area 51, according to Space.com.
Located at Groom Lake in the desolate desert of southern Nevada, Area 51 is a U.S. Air Force installation notorious for its rumored connection with unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Conspiracy theories claim the base is used to test alien technology allegedly recovered from crash sites, such as the well-known incident in Roswell, New Mexico. These theories are fueled by the base's long-standing secrecy and its continued inaccessibility to the public.
New Testimonials Claim Extraterrestrials Have Been Here a 'Long Time'
In May of 2023, a professor in the Department of Pathology at Stanford University who had ties with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) by the name of Garry Nolan took part in an interview where he claims that extraterrestrial intelligence "hasn’t just visited, it’s been here a long time, and it’s still here." You can watch that interview below.
Three Military Veterans Testified Before Congress
In July 2023, three military veterans stood before Congress to testify in a hearing on UFOs. One of those veterans, a former US Air Force Intelligence officer, made claims that non-human "biologics" had been recovered from the crash site of a UFO, according to NPR.
Unveiled CIA Documents on Extraterrestrials
In addition, the CIA released dozens of previously classified documents detailing information dating back to the 1940s through the 1990s. Those documents are now publicly available as part of the CIA's Freedom of Information Act Electronic Reading Room.
This collection catalogues CIA information on this subject from the 1940s through the early 1990s. Most of the documents concern CIA cables reporting unsubstantiated UFO sightings in the foreign press and intra-Agency memos about how the Agency handled public inquiries about UFO sightings.
Memoirs Released By Former Pentagon Employees
Just this week, we learned that former Pentagon employee by the name of Luis Elizondo has released a book where he claims a UFO was recovered in the 1947 Roswell incident. His book also suggests that the government has nonhuman remains in its possession.
Elizondo isn't the only one with a book. Another former Pentagon employee, Jay Stratton has also released a memoir, according to reports.
Jay Stratton is a former director of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, a predecessor to the current All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) that is tasked with investigating reports of UFOs, which the agency prefers to call “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” or UAPs. In addition to a memoir, which will be published by William Morrow, producer Dan Farah has also secured the rights to produce a film or TV adaptation of Stratton’s work.
The National UFO Reporting Center
Online, there is a resource that collects and aggregates UFO reports all across the country. It's called the National UFO Reporting Center. It's here that for fifty years people have been able to document unusual events that could be UFO-related.
The National UFO Reporting Center was founded in 1974 by noted UFO investigator Robert J. Gribble. The Center’s primary function over the past five decades has been to receive, record, and to the greatest degree possible, corroborate and document reports from individuals who have been witness to unusual, possibly UFO-related events. Throughout its history, the Center has processed over 170,000 reports, and has distributed its information to thousands of individuals. The principal means used by the Center to receive sighting reports is this website, which has operated continuously since 1995. Prior to that period, the telephone hotline and the U.S. mail were the primary means of taking reports.
There Have Been 25 Reported UFO Sightings in Indiana in 2024

Goshen, Indiana is Home to the Most Recent UFO Report
The most recent report in Indiana is from Goshen where witnesses claim to have seen bright white flashing lights.
I saw it flashing bright white out of my bedroom window. I watched it hover and swiftly move back and forth for about an hour before it went higher and disappeared in the distance. My neighbors saw it also and my mom saw it on FaceTime. I have several videos of it.
This report includes video of the experience.
Do aliens and UFOs exist? It seems hard to negate the growing evidence that suggests they do.
