Welcome to the Tipping Point Program. I'm Dr. Mark Hitchcock, and I'll be your guest host today on the program.

I'm the pastor of Faith Bible Church in Edvin, Oklahoma. I'm a professor at Dallas Theological Seminary.

I'm also a contributor here on N-Times.com, and Jimmy's asked me to fill in for him today, and it's a great privilege to be with you today. And to talk to you about something that has been on my mind a lot. I haven't written an article or done a video on this yet. I'm really looking forward to today's time to kind of go in a little bit of depth today and talk and kind of weigh in on an issue that has been out there in the news a lot lately.

I'm sure a lot of you've seen. And that is the whole topic of UFOs, of unidentified flying

objects. They're called that. A lot of times they're called UAFs now, but still the old terminology

is still just UFOs. And as many of you know, I'm sure you've seen in the news that the government

here recently has kind of done a data dump where they just let out all of this information that's been previously classified about UFOs.

And some really startling videos have been released.

And on a lot of the major news networks, they've had, you know had experts come on that they're interviewing,

talking about just this whole phenomenon of UFOs.

And the one thing I've noticed about all this is it's a lot of things happening that are

unexplainable.

And different people have kind of their different theories about all this, but no one really

knows for sure.

It's just kind of like in the,

almost like the beginning stages of people really trying to understand and discern what's happening.

So I thought, again, I will weigh in on this today. And what I want to do is I want to just talk a little

bit about UFOs in general and tell you a story about kind of my interest in this and how I came to have a little bit more

information about this. And I want to draw some conclusions at the end that I think will be

helpful for you. So basically, my interest in UFO started about 30 years ago. My wife, Cheryl,

and I, we drive every year out to Rio Dosa and New Mexico. Cheryl's parents for many years had a house there in an area called Alto, which is just north of Ria Doso. We still go out there every year now, but we'd go out there all the time back then and stay with her parents. And back in the day, when we'd drive out there, you'd go and you'd have to drive through the town of Roswell, New Mexico. Now, if you know anything about UFOs, you immediately know, that's the UFO capital of the world. Now, when we go now, there's a road that takes you around Roswell, so we don't really go through the town. You kind of miss the traffic. But back then, you had to go right down through the middle of Roswell. We started going out there in the early 90s. And for about five years, we would drive through Roswell and you'd

see, you know, all kinds of souvenir shops and places of all kinds of memorabilia about UFOs.
