American Made Alien
A recent, nation wide poll shows that 45 percent of Americans today believe Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO's) have visited Earth in some form (Rhodes 18). The same poll taken in the 1950's shows that under four percent of the US people believed aliens even exist. What could have caused the American people to go from under four percent believing in the existence of UFO's in the 1950's, to almost half today? This question is easily answered when one opens a TV guide or checks the newspaper when deciding what movie to see on a Friday night. With the mass media hype, the ever-increasing movie production, and the millions spent on new merchandise every year, it is not hard to see how so many Americans today have been fooled into believing Aliens exist. Some time during the first week of July 1947, a local New Mexico rancher, Mac Brazel, was on his way out to check his sheep after a long, hard rain and lightning storm the night before. On his way out to the pasture, he noticed a large amount of unusual debris. As he looked closer, he noticed there was a long gouge several hundred feet in the ground with strange, unrecognizable debris all over the area (Missler 54). Brazel gathered a few of the pieces, took them to his nei
Though the Roswell incident is the biggest "alien event" to occur in the history of the US, gaining more press coverage and national interrest than any other alien phenomenon, the Roswell incident is only one of many "sightings" alien supporters are using to back up their claim that aliens exist, and are making landings, visits, and flights on and around our planet every year. What most people don't know is that over 90 percent of all UFO reports prove to be IFO's. -Identified Flying Objects (Rhodes 62). With the help of the media, the movie industry, and large merchandise corporations, anti-government and pro-alien supporters have successfully convinced a whopping 71 percent of Americans today that our US government wants us to believe that we are alone and are even taking measures to keep things like alien sightings from us (Rhodes 18). Is this true? "To date, no one has produced any evidence of a government Alien/UFO cover-up" (Rhodes 60). A senior researcher for the Committee for Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal recently said; "There is no evidence that men in black are anything other than hoaxes or urban legends...It just grows and every so often, is renewed. These things never go away" (Rhodes 60). The belief that our government is covering up alien sightings is as fictional as the hit TV show that bases many of its shows on this phony belief, The X-Files. Astronomer Alan Hale once said, "If you are making an extraordinary claim, the burden is on you to produce the extraordinary evidence to prove that you are correct; the burden is not on me to prove that you are wrong" (Rhodes 57). Following this statement by Hale, The ICR (Institute for Creation Research) made the statement "To date, there is not one iota of real evidence in either science or the Bible that intelligent beings were either evolved or created anywhere in the universe except on earth. In any case, it is the planet earth which is the focal point of God's interest in the Universe. There is no need to look, because there couldn't be anyone out there." It is understandable that alien supporters would be angered by statements like this, but the fa
