Almost 50 percent of Americans, according to recent polls, and millions of people elsewhere in the world believe that UFOs are real. For many it is a deeply held belief.
For decades there have been sightings of UFOs by millions and millions of people. It is a mystery that only science can solve, and yet the phenomenon remains largely unexamined. Most of the reporting on this subject by the mainstream media holds those who claim to have seen UFOs up to ridicule.
On Feb. 24, "Peter Jennings Reporting: UFOs — Seeing Is Believing" takes a fresh look at the UFO phenomenon. "As a journalist," says Jennings, "I began this project with a healthy dose of skepticism and as open a mind as possible. After almost 150 interviews with scientists, investigators and with many of those who claim to have witnessed unidentified flying objects, there are important questions that have not been completely answered — and a great deal not fully explained."
"Peter Jennings Reporting: UFOs — Seeing Is Believing" airs Thursday, Feb. 24 from 8-10 p.m. ET on ABC. The program will be broadcast in High Definition.
This two-hour primetime special reports on the entire scope of the UFO experience — from the first famous sighting by Kenneth Arnold in 1947 to the present day. The program draws on interviews with police officers, pilots, military personnel, scientists and ordinary citizens who give extraordinary accounts of encounters with the unexplained. Also included are the voices of professional skeptics about UFOs, including scientists who are leading the search for life forms beyond Earth elsewhere in the universe.
The program explores the facts behind the enduring mystery of the incident at Roswell, N.M., and looks into the strange stories of alien abductions. Among the UFO cases presented:
Minot Air Force Base, N.D., October 1968 — Sixteen airmen on the ground and the crew of an airborne B-52 witness a massive unidentified object hovering near the base.
Phoenix, March 1997 — Hundreds witness a huge triangular craft moving slowly over the city.
St. Clair County, Ill., January 2000 — Police officers in five adjoining towns all independently report witnessing a giant craft with multiple bright lights moving silently across the sky at a very low altitude.
Today if you report a UFO to the U.S. government you will be informed that the Air Force conducted a 22-year investigation that ended in 1969 and concluded that UFOs are not a threat to national security and are of no scientific interest. But as one of the world's leading theoretical physicists says in the program, "You simply cannot dismiss the possibility that some of these UFO sightings are actually sightings from some object created by … a civilization perhaps millions of years ahead of us in technology."
"Peter Jennings Reporting: UFOs — Seeing Is Believing" is produced by PJ Productions and Springs Media for ABC News. Mark Obenhaus and Tom Yellin are the executive producers.
UFOs are real! Their hear to stune our beebers.
Where were you?
These pilots convince me,,pilots are very astute observors and not a bit hysterical.
Professional airline pilots are on now!!!
If the show is to be the least bit factual, they need to have an extended interview with General Johnson Jameson. He'll reveal the secrets...
Is it possible that the atomic bombs going off at the end of the war precipitated interest in our world by others?
These pilots are the best evidence.
I get mine time shifted automagically by ABC.
T-minus 2:27 and counting.
I agree... and they have to know it is not necessarily a career-enhancing move to report a UFO. Probably why there aren't more by big iron drivers.
I thought there was a federal law, something like a 100K fine if a commercial pilot discloses seeing something unusual...
Anyone not on the UFO PING LIST, and wanting to be on, please let Las Vegas Dave [backup list] and I know and we'll be happy to put you on the list. Or off, if requested!
Cheers for starting this thread.

First Hour: Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku will discuss the ABC special Peter Jennings Reporting: UFOs (airing tonight) which he is featured in.
The SF Bay Area. North of San Jose, 5 miles south of Moffett Field. I grew up watching airplanes on approach to Moffett (their landing pattern was right over our house). I still look at anything in the sky. I know aircraft. If what I saw as an aircraft, it was not like any I'd seen before. I don't know what it was, but it didn't change my life. I just consider it an interesting object I noticed one night.
By 1952 there was an enormous wave of sightings, focussed on Washington D.C.
Three radars were picking up targets in D.C. (I am not sure whether to believe this or not...they aren't sourcing this very well.)
what is a big iron driver? Whatever it is, it is hot {to quote Paris Hilton}
If the space aliens were landing at prime time and revealing the secrets of the universe, it still wouldn't be enough to make me watch Peter Jennings.
"Is it possible that the atomic bombs going off at the end of the war precipitated interest in our world by others? "
I give my vote to the Dean Scream causing it
Twenty years ago we lived in St. Louis county in a rural area. One night, my 10 yo daughter yelled for me to come into her room, she could see a UFO outside.
I went in saw nothing, and then reassured her that there was no UFO, because the F-15's (F-15s?) from McDonnell Douglas would scramble and chase it.
As soon as I said, that, four of them flew right over our house, low, fast, and loud.
I have no opinion, after that, as to what it could have been.
Yeah, add me to the list. I like to follow what's going on.
quix, we were so worried about you,,where were you??? Next time you go incommunicado, let someone know!
Big Airplanes that carry People! :-)
