In part one of our New Years series, we explore the basics of UFO research and classification, including the different types of UFO sightings and encounters that have been reported. We also delve into specific examples from UFO reports in the state of Maine, including a famous incident from the 1970s in the Allagash Wilderness. We discuss the various theories that have been proposed to explain this and other UFO sightings, and consider the potential implications for our understanding of the universe and our place within it.
