Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of the recent UFO sightings around the world. These sightings have sparked fresh interest and even concern over the possibility of Unidentified Flying Objects floating around in North American airspace. Though one of those recent sightings has been confirmed to be a Chinese balloon, the other recent sightings have not been claimed by the US, Canada nor any other countries. In this episode we’re going to be going over the very brief history of UFO sightings in the United States.
