Flying discs in the sky, mysterious lights in the sky, and speculated government cover ups all make up the makings of a perfect UFO story. Think back to Roswell, where an alleged aircraft crashed into the desert of Roswell. At first, the official story was that a weather balloon had crashed. Years later the story grew to conspiracy. Was it actually an alien object that had crashed? Adding fuel to growing fire was the fact that the government had sealed the area off. A few eye witnesses might have claim to have seen some flying disc, but are perceived to have their heads poorly screwed on. With Hollywood amping up these exterrestrial themes in movies such as 'E.T.,' 'Men In Black,' 'Aliens,' 'Species,' and countless of others; is it any wonder as to why people might have their own little ideas on UFOs?
Frostburg students spent their library time this afternoon studying, tutoring, and minding their business. Obviously not thinking about UFOs or conspiracies. When asked, 'do you believe that UFOs are exterrestial?' most of the students were wide eyed and proceeded to laugh at the question.
Psychology major Lea Anna Atkins, from Elicot City Maryland, states "Um no because I've never seen one so I think it is too far fetched," laughed the Frostburg State Sophomore.
Her thinking is not far off from the opinions of others. In fact, the existence of aliens just seemed like an out of this world concept.
"No because I am a science major. I am a logical person so I think there's a reason for everything. Not everything is aliens," Freshman Keith Davidson from Keyser West Virgina states.
Not differenciating from her was Amber Hanning, a sophomore majoring in
"I don't because UFO means unidentifying flying object and that could be anything, not alien." - Amber Hanning
"I think it is George Bush" Dominque Woods says.
