In 1947, a weather balloon crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, setting off decades of debate about aliens and UFO's. Since that time there have been many reports about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). Some of these have been identified making them Identified Flying Objects (IFOs). Join us for a live chat looking at the history of UFOs and IFOs as well as diving into the report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena from the office of the Director of National Intelligence in this interactive program.
You can tune in to the webcast on this page or on YouTube Live, where you can also submit your questions for our experts.
