Are UFOs real?
Welcome to our information page regarding the question: are UFOs real? What was once primarily a subject of speculation is now also receiving attention within aviation, defense, and scientific research.
Although there are numerous reports of UFO sightings, it is important to remember that a UFO (nowadays UAP ) is simply an unidentified object or phenomenon. A lack of immediate recognition can occur for a variety of reasons, including human error, natural phenomena, or known advanced technology.
However, 3% to 5% of the notifications remains inexplicable, even after thorough investigation by scientists. It is precisely this small but important part that shows the phenomenon is real. Below, we dive into the facts and patterns. We conclude with a clip from former President Barack Obama, who confirms that there are objects in the sky whose nature we simply do not know.
An important caveat is that the impression is often created in society that there is a connection between UAP and extraterrestrial life, whereas this has not (yet) been publicly proven.
Facts and Patterns
Eyewitness accounts: There are numerous eyewitness accounts from people, including pilots, military personnel, and ordinary citizens, who have seen unidentified phenomena in the sky. On our YouTube channel you will find a collection of testimonials from trained observers.
Sensor registrations: Some UFO sightings are supported by radar recordings or other active or passive sensor systems, detecting objects that exhibit unusual movement patterns.
Credible Witnesses: Sometimes the reports come from highly credible sources, such as commercial airline pilots, military personnel, police or other trained observers.
Historical Records: There are historical records of unidentified aerial phenomena dating back to ancient times, long before modern aviation existed.
Physical Evidence: In some cases, there is physical evidence such as photos or videos. Evidence from governments is often subject to secrecy; however, for several years now, governments have also been releasing more information. Since May 8, 2026, the U.S. Department of War has been publishing the released UAP files on a special page, by order of President Trump.
Governments: Several governments have acknowledged the existence of UFOs and are actively investigating them. Some of these countries include Argentina, France, China, Russia and the United States. The latter has a special department (AARO) established within the Pentagon. In addition, NASA does research and has appointed a special director for this purpose.
