C. Dear Dr. Brown: Pursuant to Contract No. F44620-67-C-0035 between the United States Air Force and the University of Colorado, I transmit herewith the final report of the Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects. As you know, the University undertook this study at the urging of the Air Force, not only for its purely scientific aspects, but in order that there might be no question that any of the matters reported herein reflect anything other than strict attention to the discovery and disclosure of the facts. I want to take this occasion to assure you that, under the direction of Dr. Edward U. Condon, the study has been made and the report prepared with this thought constantly in mind. The Air Force has been most cooperative, both in respect to furnishing the project with all information in its possession bearing upon the subject matter of the investigation and, equally important, in pursuing most scrupulously a policy of complete noninterference with the work of Dr. Condon and his staff. There has never been the slightest suggestion of any effort on the part of the Air Force to influence either the conduct of the investigation or the content of this report.

  • Cap 1 Ufo, Alieni E Misteri
    CAP 1 UFO, ALIENI E MISTERI Ufo e misteri (ritaglio da un sito di ufologi) Si assiste ad un’ondata di avvistamenti UFO nel mondo. L’Umanità è preparata per un contatto extraterrestre? Sono molti gli avvistamenti UFO negli ultimi tempi. Sono sempre di più le persone che ammettono di avere visto sfere di luce o quant’altro. ü Anche le ultime dichiarazioni del ex consigliere di Obama, Jhon Podesta, non lascerebbero dubbi, dicendo a sorpresa: “dobbiamo ammettere che abbiamo incontrato gli alieni e che siamo in contatto con loro da anni”. Non è il primo politico a fare un’ammissione di questo tipo. ü Anche l’ex ministro della difesa canadese Paul Hellyer, più volte ha detto pubblicamente che ci sono molte razze aliene intorno a noi, e nemmeno molto lontane. ü Anche il primo ministro russo Medvedev, nel 2012 in un fuori onda televisivo disse: “insieme alla valigetta con i codici di lancio dei missili nucleari, al capo del Cremlino viene consegnato anche un fascicolo top secret. Tutte le notizie dettagliate su questo argomento potete ricavarle dal noto film americano Men in Black. Quella cartella contiene informazioni sugli alieni che hanno visitato il nostro pianeta. Non posso dirvi quanti extraterrestri ci sono tra noi, perchè questo provocherebbe il panico”. Ma l’umanità è preparata per un contatto extraterrestre? Molte persone si chiedono, se ci sarà un contatto con gli alieni, o se già avvenuto e ce lo stanno nascondendo. Ma cosa accadrebbe se oggi atterrasse un’astronave aliena sulla terra e tutti la vedessero? Forse si disintegrerebbe tutto il sistema, a livello religioso, a livello politico, a livello sociale, a livello economico.

  • UFO Report F1 V1 Progressive Development and Synthetic Analysis of the UFO Question Considerations and Hypothesis, Explanatory Diagrams
    Sezione Ufologica Triestina [email protected] UFO Report F1 V1 Progressive development and synthetic analysis of the UFO question Considerations and hypothesis, explanatory diagrams. General notes and concluding considerations. © Luciano perla The diagrams present in the following pages, two outdated (D1 and D2), the first version dates back to the years 70), represent an attempt to graphically synthesize a logical-deductive analysis of the facts and events presented by the UFO case. Analysis and deductions that then converge for the extraterrestrial origin of these objects. However today the fact of the extraterrestrial origin of UFOs appear substantially discounted, since it represents (for a long time) the conclusion that more adheres to the facts, nevertheless this conclusion does not at all leave the time which it finds. Since passed this point, and thus taken effective awareness of this reality, this entails entering into the merits of what this implies for our culture and our civilization. The first 2 diagrams represent the first phase or level of discussion, if so it can be defined the development of the UFO question, represented, precisely, by the collection, verification and analysis of the facts, and subsequent hypotheses and/or conclusions. Phase that has lasted for almost six decades (...). As you can see, in this summary analysis of the UFO question is also included an interpretation in mythical terms, although, in fact, today this interpretation is decidedly unrealistic, and therefore no longer taken into account, as a possible explanation of "Phenomena". In 1958, in fact, C. G. Jung, proposed a solution for this phenomenon in psychological terms, with his book, "On things that are seen in heaven ", Bompiani 1958, as a modern myth of unconscious projections.

The " contactees " of the early s said that the " space brothers " they met were peaceful and benevolent, but by the mids, a number of alleged alien abductions ; including that of Betty and Barney Hilland of the apparent mutilation of cattle cast the ETH in more sinister terms. Though the ETH was mentioned, it was generally given little credence.

  • UFO Hazards .Pdf
    CHAPTER 13: ENEMY ATTACK AND UFO POTENTIAL FEW RESIDENTS of the United States, except for those in Hawaii, have experienced an enemy attack on their hometown in this century; some think they have. The Great Los Angeles Air Raid of February 26, 1942, began at 2:25 A.M. when the US Army announced the approach of hostile aircraft and the cities air raid warning system went into effect for the first time in World War II. "Suddenly the night was rent by sirens. Searchlights began to sweep the sky. Minutes later gun crews at Army forts along the coast line began pumping the first of 1,433 rounds of ack-ack into the moonlight. Thousands of volunteer air raid wardens tumbled from their beds and grabbed their boots and helmets. Citizens awakened to the screech of sirens and, heedless of the blackout warning, began snapping on their lights . The din continued for two hours. Finally the guns fell silent. The enemy, evidently, had been routed. Los Angeles began to taste the exhilaration of its first military victory. "(1) ------------------ THE UFO THREAT--A FACT In this chapter we will now turn our attention to the very real threat posed by Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), whether they exist or not. The well-documented and highly publicized War of the Worlds radio drama by Orson Welles shows how even a perceived existence to alien creatures can cause very real disaster-like conditions and panic among a given populace. In addition, if the apparent visits by alien beings and their space vehicles should pose any type of threat, it will, as always, be the fire service that is called upon to provide the first line of life-saving defense and disaster mitigation.
