From Quiz Explaining The Unexplained

Answer: It was an illusion of light and shadow on a rock formation

In 1975, the Viking 1 spacecraft sent back a haunting picture of what looked to be a giant humanoid face on the surface of Mars. Conspiracy theorists had wondered if an alien civilization had constructed the feature. After subsequent probes visited Mars it was confirmed that the "Face on Mars" was formed by shadows hitting the rock formation at just the right angle to give the illusion of a face on the surface of Mars.

From Quiz Roswell UFO Crash

Answer: W.W. Brazel

In the first week of July 1947, there was indeed a crash of some kind of unidentified object. Much of the debris was scattered on the farm of W.W. "Mack" Brazel. This story seems hard to refute unless many people were telling tall tales. The Roswell Army Airfield public information officer, Walter Haut, initially admitted the military had recovered a "flying disk" and even gave a press release to that effect to the local paper. But later that same day the Commanding General of the Eighth Air Force, Roger Ramey, retracted the story stating that it was a weather balloon that had been recovered and not a "flying disk". Don't you think that the US army would be able to tell the difference between a weather balloon and a flying disc?! If not, then "army intelligence" is truly an oxymoron. After years of research, I'd like to add that I firmly believe it was a "flying saucer". Was it a secret government project, a vehicle from somewhere in our universe, or could it have been from another dimension? It boggles the mind to think about.

From Quiz Is It A Bird, Is It A Plane?"

Answer: R.A.F. personnel

The lights were seen by on duty service personnel at R.A.F. bases close to Rendelsham Forest, which is in Suffolk. Although the authorities insisted that there was nothing strange happening and that there was no threat to national security, no explanation was forthcoming. Because the witnesses were servicemen the reports were more believable than many, and the belief that the lights were from alien spacecraft has persisted ever since.

From Quiz UFOs

Answer: Unidentified Flying Object

If you don't get this one, research UFOs. An unidentified flying object means that it is an inexplicable object in the sky.

From Quiz The Legendary Roswell Incident

Answer: 1940s

From Quiz UFOmania

Answer: Mac Brazel

One official explanation for the recovered 'aliens' is that 'dummys' were being used in military parachute tests.

From Quiz Aliens and UFOs

Answer: Bermuda Triangle

A legendary triangle of Ocean lies between three places in the Atlantic Ocean. The places are Bermuda, Puerto Rico and the United States (Fort Lauderdale). Ships, people and aeroplanes have been reported mysteriously disappearing off the face of the earth whilst traveling inside this triangle. It soon acquired the name 'Devil's Triangle' owing to superstitions that the devil was at play on this stretch of ocean and gobbling up weary and lost travelers with great delight, but what actually was at play inside this triangle of rough water, is it really the devil, or perhaps aliens are using this spot as their home base on earth? Maybe it really does contain a mystical vortex that sucks people down into a third dimension.

From Quiz They're Here!

Answer: Area 51

The place commonly known as Area 51 is a classified remote part of Edwards Air Force Base in Nevada. Conspiracy theorists claim it holds extraterrestrial craft; based on historical evidence, it is most likely used for the development and testing of experimental aircraft.

From Quiz Is It A Bird, Is It A Plane?"

Answer: Jimmy Carter

The report made by Jimmy Carter said he had seen a strange white light in the evening sky. He watched it change colour from white to red to blue then back to white before it disappeared. He said he believed it was a UFO. However, by the time he became President in 1977 he had changed his mind, and stated he believed he had seen some sort of military aircraft, not extra terrestrial activity.

From Quiz UFOs

From Quiz Aliens and UFOs

Answer: Greys

Among the mysteries of modern UFOlogy is the origin of the entities know as the Greys. These small beings are the most commonly observed entities reported by abductees aboard extraterrestrial craft, and are believed to be the ones most responsible for human abductions. There are many things that we do know about the Greys, derived mostly from abductee reports, but there is far more that we do not yet know or understand.

From Quiz Winds From Other Worlds

Answer: The White House (residence and office of the President) in Washington, D.C.

Eyewitnesses saw a fleet of UFOs hover over the White House and the Capitol Building, detecting six sets of lights in patterns that were very unusual. At the same time, air traffic controllers at three nearby airports saw the same objects on their radar screens. They stayed in place, then shot up to a higher altitude, then quickly reversed back and hovered again. None of these types of flight patterns were possible for aircraft of that time. The government later issued a statement that there had been extreme fluctuations in the temperature in the area, which cause the radar equipment to malfunction and produce images that were not really there. It seems unusual that the same type of phenomena would be detected in the same way in three different airports due to that type of malfunction. Furthermore, what of the eyewitness accounts?

From Quiz They're Here!

Answer: Greys

In the 1893 article "Man of the Year Million" by H.G. Wells, Wells had envisioned the possibility of humanity transformed into a race of grey-skinned beings who were one meter tall, with big heads and large, oval-shaped pitch black eyes. A lot of today's Sci-Fi movies use the 'Grey' as part of their plots.

From Quiz Is It A Bird, Is It A Plane?"

Answer: Space debris

Military aircraft were scrambled when radar detected around 20 unidentified objects in the skies over Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1986. When the aircraft arrived the objects mysteriously disappeared.

From Quiz Aliens and UFOs

Answer: SIGN

In the late 1940s, the Air Force Office of Intelligence Requirements (AFOIR) began the process of investigating reports of unidentified flying objects from the public. The division within the AFOIR was known as the Collections Office (AFOIR-CO) and was headed by Colonel Robert Taylor, III. This division would assemble the reports and prepare them for the AFOIR. As reports were gathered at the AFOIR-CO in the capacity of an interim project, personnel within the Pentagon began calling the project, 'Project Saucer'. This name would later be used to identify press releases by the Air Force. Even though Project Saucer was only an interim in-house project by the AFOIR, the term, 'Project Saucer', would be used by the public throughout the late 1940's and well into the early 1950s. What was not known at this time was the fact that Project Saucer would evolve three more times, spanning just over 17 years. Its first genesis came to be an official secret investigation that would be code-named: Project SIGN. By 1949 Project SIGN's code name would change to Project GRUDGE and in 1952, it would become known as the infamous Project BLUEBOOK, which it would keep until its demise at the recommendations of the University of Colorado's Condon Report in 1969. This was the same year that the United States Air Force 'officially' absolved itself of the UFO phenomenon investigations. But in the beginning history pointed in a different direction. The project would shed its interim status and become OFFICIAL and very SECRET.

From Quiz Winds From Other Worlds

Answer: cars

Several people driving their cars in Levelland, TX, in 1957, saw glowing, egg-shaped objects in the air. Their engines stalled at the same time, but the cars started up again once the egg-shaped object was gone. Authorities later claimed that the malfunctions were due to electrical storms in the area, and once again, the investigation was inconclusive. In another example, over a dam near Baltimore, MD, in 1958, there was another egg-shaped object hovering over a bridge. This time, the two men in a car decided to get out of their vehicle and hide behind it when it went dead on them. When the object rose straight up in the sky and disappeared, their car started easily. In Trumbull County, OH, in 1986, after several 911 calls were received reporting a UFO in the area, a respected police officer drove out to investigate. Once again, when he got near enough to see the strange glowing object, his vehicle lost power and wouldn't start. When the object disappeared, his cruiser once again worked normally. These are just three examples of the strange effects that these unidentified flying objects appear to have on human-invented forms of locomotion.

From Quiz Roswell UFO Crash

Answer: If crumpled it would return to its original shape

This is a strange one indeed. According to witnesses who claimed to have seen and or handled this foil, if crumpled, it would return to its original shape. According to Dr. Jesse Marcel Jr., when he was 11 years old his father woke him and his mother up in the middle of the night to show them items that he had found in the debris field of the UFO crash. The "foil" was part of the find. Jesse Jr. had supposedly put a small piece of it in his pocket about the size of one of his fingers. After several days he took it out and put it in a cigar box. As he placed it in the box he noticed that it unfolded itself and flattened itself out.

From Quiz Is It A Bird, Is It A Plane?"

Answer: Melbourne

Students and teachers from two schools in Westall, Melbourne, reported seeing a UFO land in a field close to their buildings before taking off again and flying over local houses. Sceptics put it down to a military aircraft on exercises, but witnesses continue to believe that what they saw was an alien spacecraft.

From Quiz Close Encounters With Another Kind

Answer: High altitude balloon

It is your choice to believe if they were trying to conceal the UFO or if it was real.
