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.
From Petey Jennings, no less!
You are kind, honorable and courageous. Thanks tons.
Mostly I just collect puzzle pieces . . . it has been interesting whom The Lord has 'arranged' me to meet over the years . . .
in addition to knowing my close relative.
How?!
ABC is not helping with their hokey style in which they have filmed this.
I would assert, it's the puppet masters behind the government.
John Lear (of Lear jet family) L1011 airline pilot.
I am with you. The pilots, now they are hard to refute.
Heck, I want to know. Imagine what they could tell us.
Supposedly, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" is based on a true story. And Jacques Vallee was intimately familiar with all the shenanigans.
In "Communion", there is a short blurb where Whitley Streiber descibes people being sent to another star system on a UFO. Many go insane.
I took a UFO course in college. Almost anything that comes from the government is coverup or disinformation.
Sadly, though, the believer side tends to attract some, well, let's just call them "unusual" people. And that effects the credibility.
sw
Lear is the guy with the Eisenhower story, right?
Ahhhhh, and which side of the issue are you accusing of 'group think?'
That was one of the best shows in years!

You are scaring me! There are so many of us, I will just maintain a very low profile and they will miss me entirely.
