The first thing I did for my search after I got my topic was recall information that I already knew. I already knew that UFO stood for unidentified flying object, and that there are many people who people who believe in UFO's and that there are many people who do not. As you can see, coming into this paper I really didn't know very much about UFO's.

My search started in the high school library when the class all went down to research. We were supposed to find five sources on our topic. I went to the computer to see if there were any books (not checked out yet) about UFO's, because I remembered that I saw some books about UFO's, one time when I was younger. I was in luck, there were about three books about UFO's still in the library. So I quickly checked them out before someone else could. After that, I looked if there were any magazines about UFO's. I must have looked for about thirty minutes

When I got home that day, I sat down and started to read the books that I had checked out earlier in the day. I was really interested when I started reading that there were people who claim to have seen strange occupants exit the saucers. Some even said that the occupants invited them in the saucer. A man named Herbert Schirmer, who is a police officer, stated that he saw a football shape object land and two occupants approached him. They took him inside the craft and he met the leader who had a high forehead, long nose, and shrunken round cat eyes (Nardo 11).

I also learned that there was a "Project Blue Book," which was the name given to the project concerned with the analysis of thousands of individual UFO reports recorded over a span of twenty years (Hynek 11). I was amazed that people have a better chance of seeing a UFO if you live in the southwest or the northeastern parts of the United States (Hynek 270). I really got into one book in particular because it had a lot of interesting information in it. An example is even thought UFO's are analyzed and most can be explained there is still 23% for which there was no explanation (Greenfeild 76).

and class was about to end when I finally came acrossed a magazine called Scientific America. This magazine had two articles titled "Where are they?" and "Where They Could Hide." Judging by the titles of the articles, I figured this must be a good source.

My next search was again in the high school library, but this time I logged onto the internet. I got lucky because the first site that I clicked on had lots of information. Lee Krygtek talks about the three kinds of encounters that people can have. Enc
