Flying saucers. Unexplained lights. Tic-tacs in the skies. UFO sightings have confounded government officials, witnesses and enthusiasts for more than 70 years.

“We’ve shared our skies with these vehicles for a long time, and as we put stigma behind us, we can collectively take a sober, scientific approach to better understand what these are and where they come from,” Luis Elizondo, former director of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, told CNN.
