There has been a lot of talk of UFO's and Aliens. Always has been a big interest if mine. And me being a member of my local MUFON network helps me keep from being to outlandish and stick to the science as much as possible. I would strongly suggest anyone interested in this kinda subject to join the local MUFON network. They tend to lend more to the scientific method rather then pure speculation.
Also, another reason why UFO's maybe so popular this year is document that the FBI just released and declassified in their latest online record database call The Vault. This is the FBI' s own database.
A document that was written to the director of the FBI in 1950 3 years after the the Roswell incident has surfaced and is creating a big buzz.

This document describes the finding and collecting of strange beings that are 3 feet tall, dressed in a metallic suits and something similar to G-suits. Why the FBI released this information, and if there is any creditability to it is still up for debate. But this is official correspondence between a field officer and the Director of the FBI.
The FBI recently released a lot of interesting documents about there investigations. Including, the majestic 12, ESP, mind control, even the murders of biggie and Tupac. Makes for some interesting reading and the format is a good break from the crazy speculation you see on extremists websites and tv shows.
Also, in the video there is a interview with a man who is claiming that the American people need to prepare for the full disclosure of the fact that we in contact with a extraterrestrial race. Some theorize that the government and certain media outlets are leaking information a little at a time to soften the blow to religious fanatics and to help stem mass public panic and civil unrest. To prepare us from the big news. So when it hits we can accept it more easily. Kinda like when Ricky Martin came out of the closet. Just making what was once speculated about, officially true.
