''UFOs are the Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse." - Dr. Lincoln La Paz Acknowledgements: I would like to thank pioneer UFOlogist Vincent Gaddis for the gift of his collection of UFO newspaper clippings covering the early years of the UFO mystery, as well as George Earley who took the time and the trouble to copy considerable material for my use from his UF0 files, and Stanton Friedman, who was equally helpful by permitting access to his extensive library dealing with aerial phenomena. Furthermore, Lucius Farish has pro­ vided some vital items, good advice, and strong encouragement. Similarly, Dr. Richard F. Haines gave a lot of help, as did Lawrence Fawcett. In addition, Claude Mauge of France and Hilary F.vans of England provided information and newspaper clippings from European sources. T~ Benson of New Jersey was kind enough to share some rare UFO News Bullet1ns which might have been otherwise unobtainable. Considerable assistance was given by rtarv Taylor who has accumulated a large collection of UFO books and assorted UFO ~aterial and has made all of it available to researchers. Richard D. Kloian of RicMond, California, is making a strong start in UFO research and has done extensive investigations of info~ation to be found in the New York Times. Ander Liljegrenrs-Arklvet for UFO Forskning, based in Norrkoeing, Sweden, is one of the world's best sources of UFO data and is recommended to anyone seriously considering the study of UFOs. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to Earry J. Greenwood for providing so much material from his vast UFO collection which must equal or even exceed that of major UFO organizations.

"The two civilians were Daniel L. Cramer, of 825 E. Elma St., Ontar1o, Calif., and his cameraman, Allen P. ~hite, of 5670 N. Viceroy St., Azusa, Calif. They are co-owners of an aerial photo company and have been flying to­ gether for three years. Cramer has been flying 19 years for the Army and commercial airlines and has logged more than 10,000 flying hours. He said \lhite has spent years in the air as a cameraman and during the war for the Royal Air Force. They didn't say whether they had got pictures of the 'things.' "They were returning fram Pakersfield and were over Pasadena at an alt1tude of 4,000 ft. when they sighted three circular aircraft fly­ ing near the mountains. Both men saw the objects simultaneously, according to Cramer, and both noted that they were a brilliant orange color and that the lead aircraft had a white circle painted in the middle. "'I irrlmediately threw our plane, a Cessna 180, into a tight circle to keep the three craft in our windshield,' Cramer said, while White tried to take our aerial Cal'\era out of its 1'\0unt but 1vas prevented by the centrifugal force exerted by our tight turn.' "'The three craft l'lade a complete circle around us at a distance of 4-5 miles,' C::ramer said,'covering the distance in 30 seconds. They made another half circle and disappeared to the test.' He said they computed the speed of the aircraft at 1,200 miles an hour by using their plane as the hub of a circle and knowing the craft took 30 seconds to c~lete a full circle at a distance of 4-5 l'liles.' "Cramer est il'lated the craft to be SO ft. in diameter and said they left no rocket trail. •we had them in sight for a full 45 seconds,' he said, 'and they were clearly outlined l'lost of that time against the mountains.'

Reliable Witnesses, Crackpot Science: Ufo Investigations In Cold War America, 1947-1977 Abstract This dissertation explores efforts to design and execute scientific tuds ies of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in the United States in the midst of the Cold War as a means of examining knowledge creation and the construction of scientific uthora ity and credibility around controversial subjects. I begin by placing officially- sanctioned, federally-funded UFO studies in their appropriate context as a Cold War national security project, specifically a project of surveillance and observation, built on traditional arrangements within the military- industrial-academic complex. I then show how non-traditional elements of the investigations – the reliance on non-expert witnesses to report transient phenomena – created space for dissent, both within the scientific establishment and among the broader American public. By placing this dissent within the larger social and political instability of the mid-20th century, this dissertation highlights the deep ties between scientific knowledge production and the social value and valence of professional expertise, as well as the power of experiential expertise in challenging formal, hegemonic institutions.

His comments Rsuggest that UFOs are approaching a mythological status and there appears to be little future in resolving the matter. I also took note of this comment: It is an unattainable goal to solve 100% of all circulating reports. There will always be unexplained events but it does not mean they are unexplainable. We will always have bad input data. There will always exist people willing to deceive us. There will always be wrong anal- ysis or biased interpretation on such observations.

They’re so smart they figured out how to get here, but were too stupid to avoid crashing into our planet.” Noodles slumped into his seat. “But something can always go wrong, right?” “Not if you’ve avoided every little particle in outer space be- tween here and your home planet. Do you know what happens if you’re going at the speed of light and you hit something the size of a pebble? You’re toast! They’re that smart.” Noodles thought for a moment. “What if they took a worm- hole?” “Great!” I threw my hands up in the air and slammed them 2 HIGH STRANGENESS down on the steering wheel. “Now you’re saying they’ve learned how to bend space…but not how to avoid huge chunks of dirt?” I did an alien-as-surfer-dude impression: “Hey Zork, what’s that?

  • A Culture of Extraterrestrial Belief
    LIGHTS IN THE SKY A Culture of Extraterrestrial Belief ife outside of Earth has long been a topic of debate and discussion; if it exists, the form it takes, and what impact Lit might have on human history. As things stand, there are no definitive answers to these questions, because there is no certainty as to the existence of alien life. Regardless of the lack of certainty, there is still a community of belief that life exists; that belief has in itself has had an impact on the world.
