That's the tagline of a famous internet meme based on Giorgio Tsoukalos' History channel show, " Ancient Aliens ." But now it seems to be the official United States government line, too.
Just this past week came the latest slow-roll disclosure about UFOs and aliens in The New York Times , which, in the words of tech blog Gizmodo , "casually drops another story about how aliens are probably real."
There are even reports that the Pentagon has obtained vehicles or parts of vehicles "not made on this Earth," though former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was either misquoted confirming the story or walked back his comments to that effect later.
This may worth something:
In the Mood for UFOs? - WSJ
UFOs—unidentified flying objects—exist. Ever since the Navy confirmed the authenticity of leaked cockpit videos showing unexplained encounters with speedy flying thingamajigs, the conversation has changed. Retired Sen. Harry Reid has taken a victory lap for funding, since 2007, a secret Pentagon research office devoted to UFO-related questions. In the leaked videos from 2004 and 2015, Navy pilots observe objects in the atmosphere maneuvering with otherworldly agility. Sen.
'The Unidentified,' by Colin Dickey: An Excerpt - The New York Times
Martin Thompson, the head of Rackets for the Suffolk County's District Attorney's office, had been leading an investigation into illegal gun sales when he first learned of the plan. Listening to a wiretap of two suspects, John J. Ford and Joe Mazzuchelli, he suddenly found them talking about something very different than guns.
"Once they find this stuff, on, let's say in Tony's car, front seat," Ford is heard saying on the tape, only to be cut off by Mazzuchelli, who chimes in, "Nasty bastard glowing in the dark." Ford adds, "With this isotope, he'll start glowing in twenty- four hours."Thompson and his team had stumbled on a deeply bizarre assassination plot, one involving stolen radium, a forest fire, and a UFO cover‑up.

So said English poet Alexander Pope in his "An Essay on Criticism" in 1711. Some people attribute the quote to Shakespeare, but when they do that, they, well, err.

In the newspaper business, to err is to write a correction, and I've written my share over the years.
You mishear something, you write something you were "sure" you knew, you misread your notes. Your mind skips ahead to the next paragraph and you write the wrong name or date.

Space oddity: Mexican group claims alien base offers hurricane protection | World news | The
Members of the Association of Scientific UFO Research of Tamaulipas, or Aicot, believe that an inter-dimensional underwater base of extraterrestrial origin has protected the coastal cities of Ciudad Madero and Tampico from hurricanes for more than 50 years.
Aicot's president, Juan Carlos Ramón López Díaz, claims to have visited the base – known as Amupac – via astral projection, which he says he induced through meditation and a pescatarian diet.
Skyman: Blair Witch director Dan Myrick of Fort Myers, Florida returns to roots
Dan Myrick wanted to get back to basics. For the former Fort Myers director, that meant ditching a big Hollywood production, picking up a hand-held video camera and shooting on the fly with a stripped-down crew.

"I sort of just wanted to get back to my roots and do something simple and containable," Myrick says, "and something I could control."
The result is "Skyman," a documentary-style film about a man who claims he was visited by an alien when he was 10. Now, 30 years later, he's returning to the desert for another possible encounter with the "skyman."
UFO theories end up on space archaeologist's junk heap - InDaily
Last month the Pentagon's Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force (UAPTF) re-emerged from the shadows after it was forced to officially release videos of UFO sightings that had been leaked to the media.
The UAPTF is responsible for recording sightings of UFOs in the United States and despite assertions the program was disbanded in 2012 it continued to operate within the Naval Office.
The once-secret agency was thrust into the spotlight following the authorised release in May of previously leaked footage of encounters between US military pilots and UFOs.
'No, an alien has NOT landed on NI beach' - UFO link ruled out | Carrickfergus Times
Dozens of the creatures, about the size of a grapefruit, appeared on the beach at Whitepark Bay last week. But holiday makers, dog walkers and locals were all baffled by what it was.
The News Letter newsroom was also stumped, with one seasoned but shocked newshound describing it as "creepy".
Now working for the Wildlife Trust in England, he says they have also been getting photographs of the same creature to identify from other beachcombers around the UK.
