Across the world, millions of people have witnessed massive UFOs in our skies. They have not only seen the alien craft, but have experienced a phenomenon that utterly defies our current understanding of science and physics. The fact is there have been dozens - possibly hundreds - of UFOs that have crashed on planet Earth. Mankind has witnessed these crashes, communicated with the visitors, and even left our planet with them once they are able to return to their world. But the most shocking revelation of all is the reason why they come.
