Pentagon: 'No credible evidence' of aliens yet, but tracking over 650 potential UFO cases

<p>Do you believe in aliens? Do you think life, not originated on Earth, may occur outside the blue planet? Well, some people do!&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now and then people have come up with outrageous theories related to their so-called encounter with extraterrestrial life.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Recently, a woman has claimed that she has seen several Unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and now she is too scared to leave the house.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per a report by UK-based tabloid The Mirror, the 51-year-old Sacha Christie fears that she may be abducted... by the aliens.&nbsp;</p>

Scientist wants to probe interstellar object 'lying in the Pacific Ocean'</a></strong></p>

<p>As quoted by the website, Sacha said: "It's very hard to explain my encounters, as it's hard for me to believe what I've seen."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I've spent my whole life trying to think of other scenarios, of things that it could be, but the only conclusion is that it's other life forms and UFOs," she added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She added that "looking at the sky, it scares me, as I don't know what I'm going to see next."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The report added that Christie is a stay-at-home mother from Liverpool, Merseyside. She has seen lights flying across the sky as she claims that those were UFOs. She even had a joint encounter with some friends while on holiday in Wales in 1997.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, she apparently suffers from PTSD due to her experiences. For the unversed, Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that is basically triggered by a terrifying event, either after experiencing it or witnessing it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As quoted, she said: "I saw Steve outside looking at the sky, I ran out there to see what was wrong. He was pointing at these fluorescent lights in the sky that seemed to be getting bigger the closer they moved towards us."</p>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
<p>"As the clouds were so low, the shadows and shape of the UFO made it look like bright rippling jellyfish in the sky. It was fascinating. That's when something reached out of the hedge and touched Louie's foot. I really couldn't believe it; I was in shock</p>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
<p>"Louie had told me that something had touched his foot and I believed him, but I wanted to look at the lights more, to understand what was going on. I stood there for another minute or so, when I suddenly heard something running barefoot in the mud behind me.</p>

<p>"All of a sudden, it bumped into me as it ran past and my chest exploded. Before I even realised it was happening, I was running back to the house in a panic, in complete hysterical blindness, I couldn't see where I was going. I just knew I needed to run" — Sacha Christie said.</p>

Sounds BIZARRE but this woman is seriously scared of aliens after 'nine UFO sightings'

<p>A Harvard scientist wants to investigate a meteor that is said to be an alien technology and currently lying at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Last week, a document released by the United States Space Command (USSC) stated that researchers discovered the first known interstellar meteor to ever hit Earth.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per the document released by US Space Command, the officials noted that a meteor that made an impact on Earth on January 8, 2014, was an interstellar object.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>ALSO READ |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/nasa-insight-lander-captures-images-of-sunrise-on-mars-473049">NASA InSight lander captures images of sunrise on Mars</a></strong></p>

<p>The object, measuring just 1.5 feet across, is named CNEOS 2014-01-08. Researchers noted that it crash-landed along the northeast coast of Papua New Guinea.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the latest development, Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb claimed that the object is apparently a piece of alien technology. "Our discovery of an interstellar meteor heralds a new research frontier," Loeb wrote in The Debrief.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The fundamental question is whether any interstellar meteor might indicate a composition that is unambiguously artificial in origin. Better still, perhaps some technological components would survive the impact," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Significantly, Professor Loeb spent decades studying astronomy and reportedly he is probing the possibility that life exists beyond Earth.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As reported by Daily Mail, he suggested that the object can be investigated by taking it out using a magnet in order to examine it. He added that retrieving the object could be an opportunity to fulfil a lifelong dream of getting his hands on alien technology.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"My dream is to press some buttons on a functional piece of equipment that was manufactured outside of Earth," Loeb also wrote.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The document released by USSC noted that the velocity and trajectory of the meteor suggested the space rock was apparently from deep space, meaning the extrasolar in origin.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The paper also mentioned that this discovery will help enable a new method for studying the composition of interstellar objects. The new method will be based on spectroscopy of their gaseous debris as they burn up in the Earth's atmosphere.&nbsp;</p>
