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.
You know no one wanted to see this show more than your humble narrator. Well, the Grays or the Government (one and the same?) have conspired to knock out my cable today. TV and hi speed internet are both out. I jury rigged some wires so I can barely make out the audio and the video. Looks like a howling snow storm, but I can make out gray shapes of the show.
Plans within plans.
thanks

My money's on that explanation for abductions.
Sleep paralysis. Vivid dreams.
Use some common sense, 'abductees'.
I agree. Even from a psychological aspect, believing THAT way objectively REQUIRES !!!MORE!!! FAITH than believing the other way--than believing that a significant--however small--number of observers are absolutely honest, accurate and objective.
Actually, Aliens took over the U.S. government in 1961 during congressional recess. In the next session they began the take over by planning JFK's assassination to install the android know as Johnson. Many of us now have microchips implanted in the back of our skulls and...oh no!..their coming!.....I have to go! lol
Heck, I've experienced frightening sleep paralysis episodes repeatedly in my life.
The puppet masters behind the government are NOT to be trusted.
I still believe that Bush honestly and honorably tries to do the honorable, patriotic thing as much as he can get away with it and still stay alive.
Mr. RR, estimated about two hundred yards in length (and about that far above us). It was massive. Nearly blocked out the sky from our view. And totally silent.
I am a bit hesitant to mention our sighting. So many people laugh and think we are "bonkers". But, we know what we saw.
A side note: we were out that night trying to relive our courting years (doing a little "necking" after 30 years...at that time...of marriage.)
These are deep-seated themes of human nature. It's no surprise that they would show up in vivid dreams and under hypnosis.
Peter Jennings is a loser liberal talking head. But try not to shoot the messenger here. Makes you sound narrow.
WHO ARE THEY? Big business? Extra-terrestrials? Masons? Bildebergers? NASCAR?
I had it once. Don't know why, but it is like waking up in your head, but in a body that is utterly dead. In fact, that was the first thing I thought, "Great, I've died in my sleep." Eventually, somehow I woke up. It was the weirdest thing. Since all these abductions seem to happen when people are going to sleep, I think this is the best explanation... oh well, here they go stealing my thunder on the show lol
Yeah, abductees. Must.....keep....mind....open.....wants....to.....snap.....shut. So many of them seem like Cali flakes, how can a person keep an open mind when they start reliving their "trauma?" Especially when Whitley Streiber starts yapping.
I do not believe that the full breadth of the phenomena can be mushed into one tidy little box--even the demon box.
I do believe that virtually all the known ET races are either in cahoots with satan and/or are demons in bioengineered 'bodies.' etc.
I believe our government have craft that are hardware--technology--not demon materializations.
I do believe that there are materializations of demons which do appear as craft. I just don't believe that all craft are that.
all of the above.
Yep. When I was younger, I'd wake up in paralysis states two or three times per year. It happens less often now. It can be quite frightening at first, but then you remember what's happening and you gradually come out of it.
