Are UFOs Real? A Pentagon Program Tried to Find Out

FILE -- Robert Bigelow, a billionaire aerospace entrepreneur and longtime friend of former Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), in North Las Vegas, Nev., April 29, 2010. Working with Bigelow’s Las Vegas-based company, Bigelow Aerospace, the Defense Department's program to investigate UFOs produced documents that describe sightings of aircraft that seemed to move at very high velocities with no visible signs of propulsion, or that hovered with no apparent means of lift. During an interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes,” Bigelow said he was “absolutely convinced” that aliens exist and that UFOs have visited Earth. (Isaac Brekken/The New York Times)
