Information Report- Why Aliens Are Real

Why Aliens Are Real

Do you believe in Aliens? Some people say that they have been abducted or seen UFO’s. In this report, we will talk about sightings, researchers/scientists, and some evidence on why I think Aliens exist.

Many people have seen UFO’s. Have you? NASA has spotted many aliens on Mars. Edgar Mitchell, the sixth person to walk on the moon, claims that “Aliens have contacted humans several times”.    

Dr Boyd Bushman was working in area 51 and has picture of a real life alien. Some researches agree that aliens once visited the ancient Egyptians to tell them the story about their descendants.

In 1883 an astronomer named Jose Bonilla in Zacatecas,  Mexico, took his first photograph of a UFO. Is Area 51 hiding aliens? Many people think that area 51 is hiding sorceress and aliens. There is footage on videos that there was aliens walking around the gates of area 51.

Did this make you believe in aliens?  People are still seeing UFO’s everyday. Also many people are being abducted by them.

This week we were learning how to write an information report. Nazella and I chose to write a report on why we think Aliens are real. We have talked about sightings, researchers/scientist, and some evidence.

Blog Analyses

Today LS2 had to create a graph about their blogs.  First we had to think back to when we first started using our blog.  Our LI was to carry out a statistical inquiry.  I started using my blog last year and at the end of the year I managed to post 104 posts.  This year up to May I have posted 104 post,  and this might be because in LS2 we get more digital works that we can publish on our blogs.
