Coffee Break: UFOs and aliens

UFO

There are many who believe we have been visited by aliens, and according to a report released by The Pentagon on Friday, the government still has no explanation for unidentified aerial phenomena they've investigated.

Since 2004, there have been 144 reports of flying objects, and the government has no explanation for 143 of them. (The one they could identify was a large, deflating balloon.)
