Believing in the Extraterrestrial Phenomenon

Persuasive speech:
“Believing the Extraterrestrial Phenomenon”

By: Lindsay Taylor


Close your eyes and imagine yourself driving down the street. It is late, and the radio is humming in the background, but you’re not really paying too much attention to it, you have your eyes on the road ahead.

Suddenly, your focus gets shifted to two small glittering lights in the sky. Looking through the windshield to get a better view, you are expecting to see a plane. But something is strange about these lights. They are not stars, and they are definitely not planes. You pull over to get a better look, but the next thing you know, they disappear. In the blink of an eye these two bright shining dots in the sky are gone.

At this point, you feel your heart pounding. Could it be possible that you have just seen two unidentified flying objects? Even if you did, how on Earth would you go about telling anyone?

You may open your eyes.

What you have just experienced was a UFO sighting, and a true story. It happened to me.

Many of you probably think I am crazy, after all UFO’s and little green men are topics that do not sit well with most people. However, a reported 120,000 sightings have been reported in this modern age. 120,000. That’s a big number. If you presented that number in a court, it would win the case. Yet most people still refuse to believe that we are alone in the Universe. Strange if you ask me.

Through this speech I will go over the evidence to support the idea that we are not alone in the universe, and that we have not been alone for quite some time. It is my goal that by the end, you will be knowledgeable in the history of UFO and alien sightings, and that you will believe, and think twice before writing off the possibility.

Firstly, allow me to bring you into the home of Betty and Barney Hill, where the first recorded alien abduction took place. The date was September 19, 1961 and Betty and Barney were coming home from a vacation when they were interrupted by what they described as a large “craft”. After several hours of time loss and no memory of anything, Betty and Barney continued on their way home. It was not until a few days later that they started to recall the night’s events. Betty experienced several night mares and Barney was no better off, with anxiety problems. After phoning the doctor for help, some experiments including hypnosis were done and a lot was discovered. Betty claimed that the “being” that abducted her showed her a star map and pointed out their way home. She drew the map that was shown to her and it turns out that it was in fact a true star map. This was not imagined by them and though it was cast off as “amnesia”, it still does not explain what happened to the couple or the large “craft” that they saw.

If you think that was interesting, allow me to take you on a trip into the great breeches of space. As most of you know, our planet Earth and our solar system are nestled into a galaxy known to us as the Milky Way. It is also home to 100 billion stars, some even bigger then our sun. Outside of our solar system, we have already discovered 370 other planets. To put it simply, if the Milky Way was the size of a quarter, our sun would be microscopic, along with its planets, including Earth. The galaxy is so big, that if you wanted to reach one end to another, it would take 100,000 years travelling at light speed. With knowing how big it is, and how many starts habit it, there are so many possibilities of other planets like ours, with other forms of life.

Though that information is important for our present and future, it is still very important to look into our pasts. Throughout history cave drawings have been a contribution to learning different cultures. When looking at these drawings, many things can be seen. For one, in the ancient civilization Sumer the “Anunnaki” were known as “Those who from Heaven to Earth came”. These “Anunnaki” were the gods that their civilization worshiped and to many scholars they were believed to be Aliens. The Anunnaki came from a place called “Nibiru” which is translated to “Planet of the Crossing”, the Anunnaki can be seen in the Sumerian civilization as wearing clothing that looks like oxygen masks as well as space suits.

Though these are only just thoughts and opinions expressed through my lips to your ears, I hope you understand the importance and see the truth in the facts laid before you. There is enough evidence to support the accuracy in extraterrestrial life. Whether it is through personal experience, history, or science in the end, it is still your decision. However I want you to understand that in a universe as wide and ever expanding as ours, there are many possibilities. By closing your mind, you are missing out on the truth. The truth that we are not alone.
