1. What is the study of UFOs called?

Answer: Ufology

Ufology is the term used for the study of UFO sightings as well as visual signs of possible alien presence such as crop circles, alien abduction and implants.
2. What secret base is said to house alien space craft and alien bodies?

Answer: Area 51

The place commonly known as Area 51 is a classified remote part of Edwards Air Force Base in Nevada. Conspiracy theorists claim it holds extraterrestrial craft; based on historical evidence, it is most likely used for the development and testing of experimental aircraft.
3. What is the term given to the type of alien that is small, skinny, and pale with a large head and two extra large dark eyes?

Answer: Greys

In the 1893 article "Man of the Year Million" by H.G. Wells, Wells had envisioned the possibility of humanity transformed into a race of grey-skinned beings who were one meter tall, with big heads and large, oval-shaped pitch black eyes. A lot of today's Sci-Fi movies use the 'Grey' as part of their plots.
4. What does the term "Close Encounter" mean to a ufologist?

Answer: Sightings or contact with alien ships and aliens

Close encounters of the first kind is visual sightings of an unidentified flying object seemingly less than 500 feet away. The second kind is an event in which a physical effect is alleged, trace like impressions in the ground. Third kind is an encounter which an animated creature is present.
5. Which planet's moon is believed to be the most likely spot to find aliens?

Answer: Saturn

One of Saturn's moons, Enceladus, is considered to be a likely spot for aliens because of oceans that can be found underground and plumes of icy particles. Geysers that erupt far longer than those on Earth is another example of why Enceladus could support alien life. Enceladus isn't the only moon that may contain alien life; Europa, a moon of Jupiter, also holds this possibility.
6. In March of 1997, a phenomenon occurred in the skies of Arizona called "The Phoenix Lights". What was determined to be explanation for this light show?

Answer: Balloons or flares

It was determined that because of wind direction at the time of the incident that the lights were indeed going in the direction of the wind. The timing and order of the lights going out, coincides with the time it would take for flares to last if they were set off one at a time.
7. What is the most common shape of a UFO that is most people's description?

Answer: Saucer

The term "flying saucer" was coined in 1930 when a meteor seen in Texas by some one who said he saw the weird light in the sky and described it as a huge comet, a flaming flying saucer, a great red glow, a ball of fire.
8. Some ufologists claim that a creature roaming the U.S. Southwest resembling a naked, red eyed dog or wolf that sucks blood from goats and cattle is actually some kind of alien creature. What name is given to that creature?

Answer: Chupacabra

Chupacabras can be literally translated as "goat-sucker", from chupar ("to suck") and cabra ("goat"). Some specimens that have been captured have turned out to be coyotes with the mange.
9. What planet in our Solar System known as the Evening or Morning Star has often been mistaken for a UFO?

Answer: Venus

Because of Venus's brightness in the morning or evening, the way it appears between moving clouds can give the planet the appearance that it is moving through the sky.
10. In 1952, the U.S. Air Force started a project to determine if UFOs were a threat to national security, and to scientifically analyze UFO-related data. What was the name of the project?

Answer: Blue Book

In 1969, Blue Book reported that there was no evidence submitted to or discovered by the Air Force that sightings categorized as "unidentified" represented technological developments or principles beyond the range of modern scientific knowledge; and there was no evidence indicating that sightings categorized as "unidentified" were extraterrestrial vehicles.

The study ran from 1952 to 1969.
