One wonders how many blimps populate the skies over NY City on a given day. Left: An image of my toy UFO that I used to see if amateur astronomers could detect an object dur- ing their observations. In my one test, they did.

I may attempt this little experiment a few more times in the future to see if I get a similar response. I just hope I don’t get banned from the observing site for these antics.

  • UFO WAVES: an INTERNATIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHY Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos FOTOCAT Project [email protected]
    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.

  • Hypotheses About the Origin of Ufos
    Hypotheses About the Origin of UFOs H. Beck and Iliobrand von Ludwiger 1. Introduction Ever since the first appearance in modern times of "flying saucers" in the skies above Mt. Rainier the question of their origin has been a subject of debate for the general public and UFO researchers alike. The strange maneuvers performed by UFOs in the air at high speeds soon made it evident that a conventional explanation would not do justice to the phenomenon. Almost from the beginning doubts were felt by some about a terrestrial origin of the craft. Others considered the possibility of their being secret weapons, since technical developments for military purposes tend to be ahead of civilian efforts. But in this case the gap between flight characteristics of UFOs and commercial craft performance was - and still is - so great that it seemed impossible to have bridged it. As time went on the number of UFO observations increased a great deal and many new details became known. Today, the spectrum of observations covers a wide variety of phenomena like lights in the sky, daylight disks, landings, UFO occupants, depressions in the ground, scorched vegetation and other landing marks, strong magnetic fields in the vicinity of UFOs and, more recently, hundreds of thoroughly investigated abductions. One might think that the complexity of the phenomenon, which so obviously violates established scientific concepts, would have discouraged authors from trying to develop theories explaining where UFOs come from. Actually, though, the opposite is true. There is no shortage whatever of ideas attempting to explain the origin of UFOs.

  • Psychosocial Hypothesis
    Socio-Psychological hypothesis (Ufology) - Kook Science http://hatch.kookscience.com/wiki/Socio-Psychological_hypothesis_(Uf... Socio-Psychological hypothesis (Ufology) From Kook Science The Socio-Psychological hypothesis (SPH), or psychosocial hypothesis (PSH), is a hypothesis in ufology that proposes some UFO contacts are best explained as being culturally shaped visionary experiences, as opposed to being direct encounters with otherworldly or interdimensional forms and craft. Further Reading Carl Jung, "Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies" (1958) Michel Monnerie, "Et si les ovnis n'existaient pas?

It is often contrasted with the better known extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH), and is particularly popular among UFO researchers in the United Kingdom, such as David Clarke, Hilary Evans, the editors of Magonia magazine, and many of the contributors to Fortean Times magazine. It is also popular in France since the publication in 1977 of a book written by Michel Monnerie,[1] Et si les ovnis n'existaient pas? (What if ufos do not exist?).

    NATURE OF THE ALIEN : ETs, DEMONS OR GOV'T PLOT? : PT 01 Copyright 1994 - 2018 Bill's Bible Basics Published On : April 30, 1997 Last Updated : January 19, 2018 Series History, X-Files Fox Mulder And "I Want To Believe", Strong Appeal Of New Age Thought & UFOlogy, Nobody Is Immune To Deception, Cult Tragedies, Veil Of Deception And Darkness The Fall In Eden And The Modern Quest For Esoteric Knowledge, Spiritually Backslidden America, Crop Circles, UFO Sightings, Do Aliens Exist?, My Personal Perspective, Be Open To Other Possibilities, Theological Views Regarding Extraterrestrials The following series is an updated and much-expanded version of an article I originally released in April of 1997 entitled "Nature of the Alien". In this series, I share a lot of new information regarding the alien and UFO phenomenon, which is not included in the original article. As such, I encourage my long-time readers to take the time to study it. To acquire a balanced understanding of my views concerning the alien and UFO phenomenon, I likewise encourage you to also read "Alien Life, Extrasolar Planets and Universal Atonement", "Keeping Things in Proper Perspective: ET, Where Are You?"and other articles which are listed at the end of this series. The original 1997 version of this article was the result of a two-year study I conducted regarding New Age thought and UFOlogy. The vast majority of the material which I read and archived, was obtained from the Internet, and there was, and still is, plenty of it. If one takes the time, he will find all kinds of interesting topics to explore, including MJ-12, Bill Cooper and the famous Krill Papers, the Space Brothers, the strange goings-on at Area 51 S-4, Pleiadian channeling, the photon belt and moving into a higher dimension, secret underground alien bases such as "Dulce", Remote Viewing, the Philadelphia Experiment, the Roswell UFO crash, the quatrains of Nostradamus, the Hollow Earth theory, Zacharia Sitchin and the Twelfth Planet, alien abductions and alien-human hybrids, and a lot more.

  • Ambiguous Intrusions: the Ufo / Alien Encounter Phenomenon and the Politics of Repression
    AMBIGUOUS INTRUSIONS: THE UFO / ALIEN ENCOUNTER PHENOMENON AND THE POLITICS OF REPRESSION By NIGEL D’SA Integrated Studies Final Project Essay (MAIS 700) submitted to Dr. Paul Kellogg in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts – Integrated Studies Athabasca, Alberta April, 2014 ii Abstract Despite a growing body of scholarly and scientific literature, the topic of UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) – and the related question of alien encounters – still elicits profound scepticism, dismissal, and ridicule within the academic community and the sciences. This reaction is indicative of a ‘UFO taboo’ – a concerted effort to marginalize and suppress recognition of the UFO. The UFO taboo operates in society as an ‘epistemology of ignorance’ that relegates the subject to the realm of science fiction, tabloid journalism, fringe theories and collective cultural fantasy. A literature review of the leading scholarly work on the subject will serve both to contextualize the history of the UFO problem, and counter the inviolability of the taboo. This paper will outline some disciplinary perspectives beginning with an examination of the political theory behind the taboo. The school of Transpersonal Psychology, the pioneering work of John E. Mack, and a parallel approach in Anthropology will help us conceptualize the most controversial aspect of the phenomenon: the alien abduction experience. The paper concludes with a summary of the major explanatory hypotheses for UFOs and abductions, and points to the need for an international interdisciplinary research project. This paper makes no attempt to solve the UFO problem. But by asking what the UFO – through its insistent presence and our strange apathy towards its presence – can tell us about our world, our systems of knowledge, and our systems of rule, the paper argues for the importance of the phenomenon and the onus that is placed on science and the academy to legitimate its study and contribute to our understanding of it.
