Recently, Michelle Hennessy of The Economist received a story about UFOs that initially made her question the validity of the topic. However, as she delved deeper into the conversation surrounding the phenomenon, she realized that there was more to it than just cultural fascination with flying saucers and extraterrestrial beings.

In recent years, attention from U.S defense agencies and NASA has shifted the discussion towards a more scientific exploration of what is happening in the skies above. This shift in perspective has led to a more serious and thoughtful examination of UFO sightings and their implications.
