"Its a Bird No its a Plane No its a UFO"



        “It’s a bird it’s a plane. No it’s a UFO” The Supernatural stories of UFOS and anomalous lights are considered to be a form of folklore.  The first thought of these experiences did not register in my mind as being categories of folklore.  After reading the article it started to make since.  The sights of UFOs and anomalous lights are somewhat like the sights of demons and holy spirits. Unlike many other countries The United States is very versatile every one does not believe the same things.  The religious culture may believe in the sights of demons and angels, and it is written in the Bible. Also many families teach these teachings to there children, who pass it down to their children.  All of these characteristics exemplify a form of folklore.  Some people perceive UFO’s in the same nature.  Many people believe in UFOs based on person experiences and stories told by others.  There is no real scientific evidence that reveal if UFOs are indeed real or simply an allusion of the imagination.  Many people argue this fact just like they argue the happenings in the Bible. 
            Many cultures believe in UFOs. I believe that people in other countries are more open to believe things quicker than Americans, because The United States is a very technical country we like to prove things before we believe them. The fact that UFOs stories have been told for many years makes it a legend.   These stories can also be considered as schemas. Schemas are indistinct stories that are told among a group of similar people.
            I personally do not believe in UFOs because I was never taught to believe in them and I have never experienced them.   Unlike other forms of folklore, the legends of UFOs and anomalous lights don’t belong to just one culture.  People across the world believe in such happenings.  Opposed to the tails of coyotes and spider woman, that where only told in native American cultures.
