UFO WAVES: an INTERNATIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHY Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos FOTOCAT Project Ballesterolmos@Yahoo.Es UFO WAVES: AN INTERNATIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHY Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos FOTOCAT Project [email protected] Introduction In the study of UFO phenomena there are several topics that emerge as key issues for the understanding and potential resolution of this worldwide enigma. The subject of UFO waves and UFO flaps is, evidently, one of these. Compiling bibliographies of research items has been a recurrent interest in my investigative life (1-7), as I have always thought that, as in mainstream science disciplines, progress is linked to the knowledge of prior work in the field. Those who ignore what their senior colleagues have produced on a given matter waste time duplicating past efforts or are unable to build upon previous finds. Over the years, the field of ufology has produced many authoritative bibliographies. With a few exceptions, these are general lists of literature, sometimes annotated, but usually not organized by topic (8-28). Nevertheless, these assist the researcher and represent an academic advancement. As I am committed to the concept of achieving a synthesis of knowledge in some of the main areas of the study of UFOs (29), I think a more pragmatic approach is to design a series of very specific, subject-focused bibliographies. As a practical example, I have combed through my files to create a thorough bibliography of articles and papers related to the mystery of UFO waves, those periods when UFO reporting increases noticeably and suddenly with respect to average historical records. I have been assisted by a number of top scholars who have contributed references, actual materials, pdfs and online links to create what is intended to be a comprehensive list of the literature on this subject published all over the world. It is a fact that, over the years, different UFO researchers have been working in the same areas without each other’s knowledge, sharing common interests, motivations and objectives. One example is Edoardo Russo, leader of the Italian Center for UFO Studies (CISU), who compiled a rather extensive bibliography on this same theme in 2005. Mr. Russo has been very generous in ceding all the data he collected to the current bibliography. Another researcher that has kept a meticulous thematic register of UFO papers is French scholar Claude Maugé. Thanks to his open collaboration, I have consolidated his records into the present bibliography as well. The material here presented ranges from initial ideas and informal conjectures to articulated statistical work and formal studies on the shaping and development of waves and their relation to external factors, and on the existence of any periodicity or temporal 1 pattern within. Major books and monographs focusing on specific wave periods all over the world have also been included. I have listed the bibliography by chronological order of publication. By doing so, I want to give a sense of history of the progress of ufology, adding a temporal flavor to it: who first stated this or discovered that. There is one aspect I have purposely avoided in this compendium. That is the robust research conducted to prove or disprove the relationship between the rise of UFO reports and geophysical variables such as faults (first suggested in France by Fernand Lagarde) or seismic activity, the so-called Tectonic Strain Hypothesis (first proposed in Canada by Dr. Michael A. Persinger). Although these factors might also influence levels of UFO reporting (i.e. waves), I have excluded the ample existing literature on the basis that this distinct line of inquiry in the field of geophysics merits a systematic bibliography of its own. The literature of sociology and popular culture amply covers episodes of mass delusion, war fears, short-term collective hysteria and the like. I have excluded these related topics from the present bibliography unless there is a direct relationship to alleged accounts of the apparition of unusual aerial vessels, flying machines or aircraft. I have also excluded any articles proposing, investigating or refuting the theory of “orthoteny.” Although those alignments were first discovered in data of the 1954 wave in France, similar straight-line patterns have claimed to be found elsewhere. Whether this is simply a pure statistical artifact or not, it cannot be considered relevant to flap periods. This bibliography is not an end in itself. My main goal is to encourage UFO students in academia to analyze the problem of these reporting surges with a view to interpreting and modelling the underlying mechanisms that generate them. The response to this question will enlighten us as to the nature of UFO phenomena. To this purpose, I have striven to facilitate, when existing or known to this compiler, online sources where the reader can consult or download the actual essays. I have also indicated with a ℗ sign when the author owns the paper in a .pdf format. For a number of books and monographs I have provided publisher information. Moreover, when I have found a given book (at least temporarily) available from Amazon, I have added the proper link. Likewise, when a work is devoted to a very particular wave and the title does not disclose its timeframe, I have included the wave date in brackets, following the item’s heading. Selection has proved to be tough when deciding between countless magazine or journal articles devoted to episodes from UFO wave periods, or when having to extract material from others’ input. Especially when many articles are written discussing a wave on either skeptical or believer grounds (e.g. the 1989-1992 wave in Belgium.) The basic premise in order to allocate a reference here is that it has to give quantified data on a flap, an overview of a wave (start, unfolding and termination) or an insight into causes and antecedents to its 2 development, not merely a series of stories and anecdotes or case studies. This has proved difficult to ascertain when the actual article is not at hand to read so I followed the principle that too much is better than too little. If there are items not fulfilling such requirements, any new edition will clean them up. The bottom line in selecting an optimal item is that it is crucial for the understanding of a given UFO wave, as well as any work that investigates the statistics of a wave, or sets forth any theory on periodicities or cycles discovered within a longer period where several waves have occurred. An important single contribution is the outstanding work performed by researcher Loren E. Gross with his series of UFOs: A History monographs compiled from 1971 to 2005, with case reports from all over the world encompassing the 1896-1963 period along with ~100 booklets with some 11,000 pages of case material. This bibliography will include references to his massive work for the early waves up to 1957. I am inviting fellow researchers to report any mistakes and to supply any references I may have missed. I am also requesting readers to provide any links to works already included here that are available on the internet. Finally, I would appreciate any contributions of pdfs of essays (already cited or new), in order to complement an archive that before long will be shared with everybody through a dropbox-type system. The present compilation also attempts to correct two major flaws detected in the evolution of the literature on this subject. To this effect, it is aimed at: (1) Highlighting the importance of much research work made in Europe in the early decades of UFO publications, which were neglected or ignored by English-speaking ufologists, and, therefore, never verified, tested or improved. (2) Calling for an intelligent synthesis that firstly summarizes all finds and secondly concentrates the accumulated knowledge of this problem so far, which is a much-needed step before we can carry out a global analysis of the underlying causes of the wave phenomenon. To this objective, and after this publication, I will encourage the formation of an ad hoc taskforce of volunteers to study the collected materials, which will be the object of a separate communication. Finally, this essay serves to pay a heartfelt tribute to the pioneering and painstaking work carried out by many scholars, some of them unheard by later generations.

    SUNlite Shedding some light on UFOlogy and UFOs Since we are surrounded by them all of our lives, I still find it quite remarkable that so many adults can observe a stellar body and see fit to call it in as a “UFO.” Furthermore, what does it say about the total UFO phenomenon when these adults are often in groups and watch these stars for hours? Allen Hendry (The UFO Handbook) Volume 10 Number 5 September-October 2018 Front: Mars dominated the southeastern evening sky for July and August. Left: A collection of Mars images I obtained this last August. It is interesting to note how the vari- ous features appear to the eye. My images do not show any “canals” but, when staring at an eyepiece for hours, the very minute details can appear to look like lines.

  • A Time to Talk Sense About Ufos
    A Time To Talk Sense About UFOs UFOs—The Public Deceived. By Philip J. Klass. Prometheus Books, Buffalo, N.Y., 1983. 310 pp. $17.95. Reviewed by Elmer Krai For many centuries, the subject of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe has intrigued writers, theoreticians, and laymen. Since World War II, however, nearly everyone has become curious about the subject, and the rhetoric in some quarters has gradually moved from curiosity to speculation to belief that intelligent beings not only exist elsewhere but that they have already visited us. A Gallup poll in mid-1978, for example, revealed that 57 percent of adult Americans believe that UFOs are "real." Is this belief justified or is it a myth? On the surface, it would appear that there is some basis for it. The worldwide scientific community generally agrees that the search for intelligent life elsewhere is a legitimate, though low-priority activity. Rational citizens are persuaded by the argument that if our civilization can send astronauts to the moon and spacecraft beyond, then technologically advanced civilizations could very well send explorers to our neighborhood of the universe. And much of the UFO and other popular literature has asserted for over thirty years that we have been visited. In reality, it is a myth. While almost all scientists concede that there is at least a mathematical possibility that intelligent life may exist elsewhere, several scientists and other professionals since at least 1953 have convincingly refuted the assertion that UFOs represent alien spacecraft, beings from another "dimension," or something genuinely new to science.

The blue light was steady and projecting under the object. It was lighting up the area directly under extending a meter or two out. At this point of positive identification I relayed to CSC, SSgt Coffey. Positive sighting of object...colour of lights and that it was definitely mechanical in nature. This is the closest point Penniston relayed that he was close enough to the object to determine that it that I was near the object at any point. We then proceeded after it.

He eventually arrived at a “beacon light”, however, he stated that this was not the light or lights he had originally observed. He was instructed to return. - J. D. Chandler January 1981 statement We climbed over the fence and started heading towards the red and blue lights and they just disappeared. Once we reached the farmer’s house we could see a beacon going around so we went towards it. We followed it for about 2 miles be- fore we could see it was coming from a lighthouse.

    Main subject: The Milky Way contains about 300 billion stars, each of them with its own planetary system. With this knowledge in mind, one day during a lunch break in Los Alamos, in the middle of a happy conversation between physicists on extraterrestrial life, Enrico Fermi suddenly asked: "But if they exist, where are they?" They exist - statistically they have had every chance to develop a civilization and also reveal themselves. Their numbers are not lacking, so, where are they? For at least a century, we humans have been emitting our radio signals into space, which have now reached a million-billion-mile radius, bringing with them the evidence of our existence to hundreds of stars by now. Nobody has answered us yet. Are we really alone in the universe? Are we really so unique? This is perhaps the biggest question we have ever asked ourselves. Are there aliens? And how are they made? What thoughts do they have? What would happen if we met them? What do we really know about life in the universe? What are the testimonies and evidence of scholars and people who have experienced rst-person revelatory experiences? The presence of extraterrestrial intelligence that periodically visits our planet is now scientically proven. In the last sixty years, at least 150,000 events have been documented for which any hypothesis of "conventional" explanation has not proved to be valid. Yet, many still do not believe in the extraterrestrial theory, in part because the political and military authorities continue to eld a strategy of discre- dit. The ten episodes of the series, lasting 48 minutes each, deal with the human-alien relationship in its various facets - from sightings to meetings, from more or less secret contacts, to great conspiracy theories.

Something strange has been happening, perhaps for thousands of years, mostly ignored, covered up, debunked, but it still happens. Every day someone becomes part of the mystery. ‘Others’ amongst us are reaching out to us, be it from outer space, other dimensions, other realms, etc. Beware, some might not have the best intentions. But I feel this is a necessary process for our species to make that giant leap forward and become the Universal citizens that we were meant to be. 1975 was the year of the high profile Walton abduction and of SAC base intrusions. It was also a year of unrelenting humanoid activity and encounters almost at a worldwide scale. The United States was in the midst of an epidemic of mysterious and bizarre cattle mutilations. It remained the focus of activity as far as humanoid encounters. The same states reporting the cattle mutilations reported humanoid encounters.

For the past twenty years over 11,000 UFO sightings have been reported and examined by FTD. Yet, no positive evidence has been formd that UFOs pose any threat to the sec1.1.rity of ti:ds cormtry. In addition, t he evidence examined denies t he existence of flying saucers from onter space, or any similar phenomenon popularly associated with UFOs. Since FTD is an intelligence organization, the fifty million people who believe in UFOs also believe FTD and the Air Force are withholding information from them.Mercer This has simply resulted in a greater demand for information (which does not, in f act exist) and this in turn has further discredited FI'D and the Air Force.

  • Inflation-Theory Implications for Extraterrestrial Visitation
    Inflation-Theory ImplicationsJBIS, for VExtraerrestrialol. 58, pp. 43-50 Visitation, 2005 Inflation-Theory Implications for Extraterrestrial Visitation J. DEARDORFF1, B. HAISCH2, B. MACCABEE3 AND H.E. PUTHOFF4 1. 1689 S.W. Knollbrook Pl., Corvallis, Oregon 97333, USA. 2.

Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin, 4030 W. Braker Ln., Suite 300, Austin, Texas 78759, USA. Email: [email protected] It has recently been argued that anthropic reasoning applied to inflation theory reinforces the prediction that we should find ourselves part of a large, galaxy-sized civilisation, thus strengthening Fermi’s paradox concern- ing “Where are they?” Furthermore, superstring and M-brane theory allow for the possibility of parallel universes, some of which in principle could be habitable. In addition, discussion of such exotic transport concepts as “traversable wormholes” now appears in the rigorous physics literature. As a result, the “We are alone” solution to Fermi’s paradox, based on the constraints of earlier 20th century viewpoints, appears today to be inconsistent with new developments in our best current physics and astrophysics theories. Therefore we reexamine and reevaluate the present assumption that extraterrestrials or their probes are not in the vicinity of Earth, and argue instead that some evidence of their presence might be found in certain high-quality UFO reports. This study follows up on previous arguments that (1) interstellar travel for advanced civilizations is not a priori ruled out by physical principles and therefore may be practicable, and (2) such advanced civilisations may value the search for knowledge from uncontaminated species more than direct, interspecies communica- tion, thereby accounting for apparent covertness regarding their presence.
