Analysis (Final Project): You have read two texts, watched a video, and viewed a website about the existence of UFOs and alien life forms. All four texts explain the theories behind the existence of UFOs and alien life forms. However, each source suggests that the writers understood the existence of UFOs and alien life forms based upon their own observations and/or research. Create a project that explains the various sources/views on the existence of UFOs and alien life forms. For you project, make your own claim about the existence of UFOs and alien life forms. Be sure to support your claim with clear reasons and supporting evidence that show how at least two of the sources add to your understanding of your claim. You should also include how one of the sources provides a counter claim to your claim about existence of UFOs and alien life forms. Support your response with relevant textual evidence and inferences drawn from the sources provided.
