10 Recent UFO Sightings We Want To Believe

UFO sightings are a relatively common phenomenon, referring to reports of unidentified flying objects. Often, these reports are accompanied by suggestions that the unknown objects are extra-terrestrial, paranormal or secret military projects.

The term ‘UFO’ was originally created by the United States Air Force in 1953, so as to categorise the high number of reports at the time. In the decades following World War II, and particularly during the Cold War, UFO sightings were widely reported on due to an increased interest in national security.

UFOs have become commonplace in popular culture, and are a mainstay in media such as films, television shows and documentary series. In particular, The X-Files brought about widespread discussion regarding the possibility of extra-terrestrial visitors, along with the idea that there is an international conspiracy to cover it all up.

This list takes a look at some of the most compelling UFO sightings from the last few years. From mass sightings to unusual video ‘evidence’, the entries listed here will truly make you want to believe.
