“UFOs: Are Aliens Among Us?”

With thousands of UFO and alien sightings over the past decades, can it really be doubted that entities from distant galaxies aren’t here among us? But where are they? Hiding in plain sight? Why haven’t they announced their presence to the world? In my talk, I will assess the multitude of claims of extraterrestrial contact and define what I believe to be the answer to the alien enigma.
