Introduction
Recently there has been a great deal of articles, videos and recent government recognition that Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO’s) are increasingly being reported and digitally captured as images and video, by all different people from all varying walks of life. I have seen many TV programs that show these images and videos supported in some cases by those that witnessed these UFO’s. Media, TV and Internet, have others who try to explain away these sightings and make comments such as “the UFOs move so rapidly that the ‘G’ forces would be far to great for humans, therefore they may have ‘Aliens’ on board”. Or they maybe like the 1977 film ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ and communicate through musical notes.

Ancient and Modern Aliens
Having watched many TV programs called ‘Ancient Aliens’, you have to wonder how many hundreds of the Ancient structures were supposedly designed and built by humans that did not have the skills of tools to construct such structures; some of which had stones that weighed over 50 tons that were transported from different locations and then raised to significant heights. There are many carved rock images that have the physical features but different looks to normal humans. I believe that’s why today we have Modern Aliens depicted as beings having a skinny bodily structure as humans but having big heads and eyes. A representation in the old ‘Eagle Comic’, Alien ‘Mekon’ as part of Dan Dare’s adventures, that I used to read as a boy.

Lets Assume that UFO’s Exist
UFO’s that have been reported appear to be ‘Saucer’ shaped structures or are purely ‘Lights’ in the sky both of which travel at lightning speed in all different directions. As an Aircraft Engineer, these ‘vehicles’ bare no relationship to our current knowledge of Flight, ‘G’ Forces or Propulsion. Even the latest space vehicles or missiles that we consider to be fast (8000 miles per hour, in air) , we have nothing that would compare to these UFO’s, that may travel at the Speed of Light of 186,000 miles per second. Therefore it is difficult for us to accept that the UFO’s are real vehicles from other parts of the ‘Universe’ that have technology in excess of our current mathematical and engineering fundamental’s. However, there have been so many sightings of this nature that we may have to think ‘Outside the Box’.

Outside the Box – Speed Of Light and Light Years
Let us think ‘Outside the Box’ and state that UFO’s are real. If so where do there come from? If we consider the distance from our Sun, to our nearest neighbour the Alpha Centauri Solar System is 4.3 to 4.4 Light Years away from our Sun. ‘One Light Year is equivalent to 5.88 Trillion Miles’. Therefore, given that these UFO’s came from our nearest Solar System neighbour they would have to travel almost 26 Trillion Miles. It would take around 4.4 of Earths Years to travel to the Earth, going at the Speed of Light (186,000 miles per second). If we consider this as Conventional Travel I don’t think this is remotely possible even thinking ‘Outside the Box’.

Lets Assume Aliens Exist
Given that we have discussed the UFO’s that may exist, what about the occupants, the Aliens, if there are any. As we have recently seen, the increase in Humanoids and the expansion of Artificial Intelligence is rapidly increasing. It is quite conceivable that Aliens are in fact very advance Robots that have developed their own intelligence and communication systems, which is not like the humans communication systems. However, they may well be like an Advanced Network System where all communication is digital or a more advanced transfer system. Aliens may look like modified Humans with skinny Bodies and big Heads like the Mekon. They may well be designed as a machine to undertake tasks within the UFO. As I have already said that they may not be any Aliens on board the UFO, which itself is the collector of data from our Planet Earth.

My Own Personal View
It is very hard to dispute what people have witnessed seeing Saucer Shapes and Lights in the sky that move rapidly in various directions or hover at times. In some cases there is no logical explanation for these phenomenon and it is hard to dispute what was experienced. If these were Extraterrestrial Craft where did they come from. We have seen that the closest Planetary system is almost 26 Trillion Miles away. There is no evidence that they came from our own Planetary System, therefore, with an open mind, it is unlikely that these sightings are Extraterrestrial Craft. I do not believe UFO Craft or Aliens exist, but we still have to wonder why and how our ancestors had the knowledge and ability to create such significant precise structures many thousands of years ago such as the Gobekli Tepe (9600 BC) and the Sphinx and Pyramids (2500 BC).
