UFO sightings increased because of films

| August 18, 2009 | 0 Comments

As files on the UK’s experiences with UFO’s are released, it seems that once the figures have been crunched certain dates or rather year’s show up as being prime years for UFO encounters.

Take 1996, nothing really spectacular happened in that year although according to the recently released documents from the Ministry of Defence there were 609 UFO sightings, whereas the year before the figure was only 117, 1996 was the year when Independence Day was released.

The prime year for sightings was 1978, this was the year when Close Encounters of a Third Kind was released in the UK, and the records show that during the year there were over 750 reported sightings.

According to David Clarke, a UFO expert from Sheffield Hallam University believes that there is a direct link science fiction and UFO sightings.
