Unit 10: LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS
UFOs are strange flying objects that some people report they have seen in the sky and believed to be spacecraft from another planet. Many scientists do not believe so. They say that if people see a UFO, it might be an aircraft, a weather balloon or a meteor. However, there is still evidence for people to believe in the existence of UFOs.
