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.
In case you are keeping track:
Three books on UFOs. - The Washington Post
UFO sightings happen in clusters. The same is true of books about UFOs. While clusters of UFO sightings are called "flaps," there is no similar term for clusters of UFO books. I propose calling them a "Sagan" (despite the risk of implying that there are billions and billions of them).
Scoles successfully navigates between otherizing (making people into bizarre, foreign objects) and going native (becoming one of the group observed). She is charitable, treating those she meets as rounded individuals full of hope and pain, not as a motley collection of rubes and charlatans to be mocked. Yet, she maintains her position as an outsider journalist making sense of the intricate stew of conspiracy theory, spectacle and kitsch.

Is it vindication at last? The New York Times has recently reported that a supposedly canceled Pentagon project to investigate strange aerial phenomena is still showing a pulse. The clandestine effort, originally known as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, was said to have ended in 2012. But, apparently, it's still doing its thing under the auspices of the Office of Naval Intelligence.
So, where there's smoke, there's fire, right? If the feds are still forking over tax dollars to delve into odd goings-on in the sky, it must be because they've got convincing evidence for extraterrestrial visitors. At least that's the hope of the 100 million Americans who seem willing to swear on the Good Book that UFOs are, at least in some cases, alien craft.

A UFO — or unidentified flying objects — is an unknown object in the sky. When people talk about UFOs, they’re mostly talking about flying saucers that people believe come from other planets.
Back in May, The New York Times reported that Navy fighter pilots had strange encounters with mysterious flying objects eight times between 2013 and 2019. According to the reports, the fighter pilots and other military officials couldn’t explain where the flying objects had come from.
Many things are taking place:

Wow" "What is that man?" "There's a whole screen of them. My gosh." "They're all going against the wind. The wind's 120 knots from west." "Dude." "That's not — is it?"

Are the aliens us? UFOs may be piloted by time-traveling humans, book argues | Space
Unidentified flying objects (UFOs) have captured the public's attention over the decades. As exoplanet detection is on the rise, why not consider that star-hopping visitors from afar might be buzzing through our friendly skies by taking an interstellar off-ramp to Earth?
On the other hand, could those piloting UFOs be us — our future progeny that have mastered the landscape of time and space? Perhaps those reports of people coming into contact with strange beings represent our distant human descendants, returning from the future to study us in their own evolutionary past.
