It was recently reported by CNN that the U.S. Navy confirmed the leaked UFO video footage is real. They didn't specify what the objects in the video are, but they said they were unidentified and it's not an internet hoax.

There was also a large event that was organized online to storm Area 51 this September. Aliens, UFO's and conspiracy theories have been a hot topic lately.
