The Story Behind my Topic

The Story Behind My Topic

I choose this topic because I've always been entertained and fascinated by the idea that there might be other beings or creatures other than on our planet. For example; The year 1952 had the most reported UFO sightings. The first flying remote control device was made in 1884, so why would the sightings sky rocket now? I find this topic interesting because I've always believed in the paranormal, myths, legends, etc. Wouldn’t it be cool to find out that there are other living things on other planets?
