The murky world of UFOs, government coverups and America's secret planes will be the topic of March Field Air Museum's UFO seminar and family days on Saturday.

"UFOs and Things That Go Bump in the Night" will try to explain flying saucers and alien sightings such as Roswell and Area 51. Resident UFO-ologist and museum volunteer Bob Mauger, 65, of Norco, will discuss how several suspected alien aircrafts are usually top-secret government airplanes.

"There's a lot you don't realize is out there," Mauger said. "Some things in the sky are totally unexplained."

The U.S. government used secret surveillance planes in World War II and to keep tabs on Cold War rivals, and still uses some today, Mauger said.

Reported UFO sightings were later discovered to be U.S. Air Force planes such as the XP59, the first U.S. jet; the U-2 spy plane; the SR71; and the F1-17 Nighthawk, Mauger said. The incident that spawned the term "flying saucer" likely involved the Horton 229, a German airplane used by both the U.S. and the Soviet Union, he said.
