Aliens are everywhere in pop culture. You see them in movies, books, television and just about every other form of media. With our modern special effects we can make them look however we want and believable enough to scare anyone if they managed to be sent back in time to a few decades ago. But the question of whether or not there are other life forms out in the universe is still a mystery.
Some of the most famous alien sightings in history were actually written off as inexplicable events for many years before being revisited by UFO conspiracy theorists. For example, though there may have been some people expressing a belief that the crash at Roswell involved an alien spacecraft, it wasn't until many years later that the event actually blew up with the help of some published interviews. For a long time people just wrote it off as a type of craft that could not be identified, which if we remember is actually the definition of a UFO. All it took were a few accounts linking the incident with extraterrestrials and it was able to take off.
A similar thing happened with an event labeled the Battle of Los Angeles. This event that happened over Los Angeles soon after the United States entered World War II involved an object objects that appeared in the sky and were fired at by anti-aircraft weaponry. It did not seem to affect the objects in the sky and various theories sprouted up after the incident claiming things ranging from Japanese aircraft, to balloons, to aliens. However, the event didn't really manage to take off until ufologists began claiming that classified documentation pointed to the incident covering up discovered alien UFOs.
All of these events are still mysteries and the real question of whether or not alien life is out there in the world goes unanswered as well. Aliens manage to captivate people ranging from the movie going public to scientists with extensive training; so regardless of whether or not these events in the past century prove to be true, it is hard to imagine giving up on a search that has intrigued us for so long.
