UFO Information Report

Are UFO’S real?

UFO’s are known as an unidentified flying object. They are unknown because people haven’t gotten their hand on them. UFO’S were first discovered on June 24, 1947. There are lots of UFO sightings and most of them are from Russia.

What do UFO’S look like?

From above UFO’S are bright and small. You can’t see them properly but at night they have a bright glow and you can probably see them a bit clearer. They are nearly similar to the planet Saturn because it has a ring around it. The main part of the UFO is the circle. Some UFO’S have a hole underneath so they can land properly.

The history of UFO’S

UFO’S were first known as flying saucers and they were first seen in 1947. There were a group of 9 UFO’S flying near Mount Rainier in Washington while a businessman was flying in his small plane. There has been over 50 UFO’S found on area 51 but haven’t found any aliens in them.

Sighting of UFO’S

There has been 1,267 sightings of UFO’S over the country in the past 3 years. There has been a rumor that an alien abducted a woman last year. UFO’S have been sighted a lot in America and especially around New York.

UFO’S were first discovered on June 24, 1947. There are lots of UFO sightings and most of them are from Russia. UFO’s are known as an unidentified flying object. They are unknown because people haven’t gotten their hands on them.

This week we have been learning to write an information report. My group got to choose a topic to write about and I decided to choose if UFO'S were real or not. I choose this topic because it was really interesting and there had been story's of people seeing UFO'S and people being abducted by aliens.
