Ninety Five Percent of Reported UFOs Are IFOs but the Unexplainable Five Percent Is Enough for Kent Senter to Believe That UFOs Are Real

His first UFO encounter happened when he was 10 years old. This is the claim by Kent Senter of Burlington.Senter recalls witnessing a sizable orange oval giving out a downward beam, hovering above the trees without any noise near Washington, D.C.

The witness can’t exactly figure out what he had just spotted. He was totally shocked.

Senter is now 59 years old and he has been investigating UFO reports for over 25 years. When asked about his approach in conducting UFO sighting investigation, he answered that he goes with what he can prove and goes from there.

Senter claimed he spent tens of thousands hours observing the evening sky, and he had only seen two craft. The first one when he was still a child and the second one in Durham in the mid-eighties. After his second UFO sighting, he decided to research about UFOs and eventually co-founded the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) North Carolina chapter, a non-profit group dedicate in investigating UFO sightings nationwide.

Senter said that around ninety five percent of UFO sightings can be reasonably explained as meteor, airplane, satellite or Venus. One good example for this is the helicopter-like craft that spotted by Senter and his co-worker hovering over Interstate 85 when conducting a regular security check at a Durham hotel in 1980s. The suspected alien UFO appeared to go up high in the sky and disappeared. They found out later that the UFO was a Russian satellite re-entering the atmosphere.

However, Senter stated that approximately five percent of reported UFO sightings are unexplainable after thorough investigations and this small percentage of mysterious objects or lights in the sky is enough for him to believe that UFOs are real and human race is not the only intelligent being in the universe.
