  • 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.

    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. Percival Lowell’s arguments with the astronomical community about the canals he mapped/observed tend to mirror some of the argu- ments found in UFOlogy.

  • 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 night operator of the Chicago-and- Alton Railroad, Paul McCramer, stated that he came sufficiently close to the craft to see a man emerge from it to repair the machinery. Traces were found over a large area.

  • ALIEN TALES.Pdf
    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.

  • Book Reviews
    Book Reviews Review Symposium The UFO Handbook. By Allan Hendry. Doubleday/Dolphin Books, Garden City, N.Y., 1979. 297 pp. Paperback, $8.95. Reviewed by Philip J. Klass The UFO Handbook is one of the most significant and useful books on the subject ever published. It is the result of Allan Hendry's relatively brief experience as the chief investigator for J. Allen Hynek's Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS), where Hendry personally investigated 1,307 UFO incidents during a 15-month period from mid-1976 to late 1977. The book is subtitled "A Guide to Investigating, Evaluating and Reporting UFO Sightings," and it fully lives up to this claim. But it also could be subtitled "The Disillusionment of a Would-Be UFO-Believer." In the book's Foreword, Hynek says that Hendry "has arrived at some very striking and unexpected results, and has exploded or thrown into serious question some of the 'instinctive' conclusions of even very experienced UFO investigators, myself included." This is a remarkable admission from a man who has himself spent more than 30 years in investigating UFO cases, including more than two decades as a consultant to the U.S. Air Force. Hynek admits that his long experience in the field had prompted him to "recognize the importance of finding out just to what extent misidentification, wishful thinking, emotions, and hallucination enter into the UFO problem, [but] I regretfully failed to make such a study. Allan Hendry is the first to attempt such an important evaluation." It would have been more accurate if Hynek had qualified his statement to read: "Allan Hendry is the first UFO-proponent to attempt such an important evaluation." Hendry writes that he first became interested in UFOs in 1972, after meeting Philip J.

    KEPTICS UFO NEWSLETTER SUN #62 SBy Philip J. Klass 404 'N" S! SW Wash1ngton DC 20024 March 2000 Copyright 2000 1970s Data Helps Identify January 5th Illinois UFO As Extraterrestrial •The UFO Handbook; authored 21 years ago by Allan Hendry--then director of the Hynek Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS)- -provides valuable insights to explain UFO sightings by multiple witnesses during the pre-dawn hours of Jan. S, 2000, in west-central Illinois. UFOiogists and the news media were especially impressed because of the unusual descriptions of the UFO and because several of the witnesses were small-town law enforcement officers. Hendry's book reports the results of his investigation of 1,307 UFO reports submitted to CUFOS- -many of them by law enforcement officers. Hendry discovered that 360 of these UFOs- -nearly 28% of ALL the UFO !ightin_u~ort~d to CUFOS- -turned out to be bright planets and stars, as highlighted in Chapter 2, titled: •The UFO Imposters: Nocturnal Light IFOs (identified flying objects). • In a later chapter Hendry analyzed the professional backgrounds of those who had submitted UFO reports that turned out to be IFOs. Law­ enforcement officers had the worst record: 94% of their UFOs turned out to be IFOs. BRIGHT CELESTIAL BODIES GENERATE WIDE VARIETY OF UFO DESCRIPTIONS One of the characteristics of UFO reports generated by bright planets/ stars, Hendry learned, is the "large variety of shapes reported." Also a variety of colors: "Starlight can be refracted into a rapid sequence of colors. Red, white, and blue are the most common.... The effect is especially prominent when the planets /stars are near the horizon." (Emphasis added.) Hendry als~ cautioned about the autokinesis effect: "If one stares intently at a star in the dark without a frame of reference, it can appear to 'wander' about in the sky..

  • Unidentified Flying Object
    Unidentified flying object An unidentified flying object (UFO) is any aerial phenomenon that cannot immediately be identified or explained. Most UFOs are identified or investigated as conventional objects or phenomena. The term is widely used for claimed observations of extraterrestrial spacecraft, and was coined as an anacronym by Project Blue Book project head Edward J. Ruppelt. Another widely used term for the phenomenon is "flying saucer." Studies and investigations have been conducted by various governments worldwide, along with private individuals and organizations. In the United States, studies began in the late 1940s and have included Project Grudge, Project Sign and Project Blue Book. The latter was ended in 1969-70 after the Condon Committee officially concluded that the subject failed to merit further study. However, an unpublicized study named the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program was funded by the U.S. government from 2007-2012, and a successor program named the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force is currently operational. Unidentified lights and flying objects have been reported in the skies for much of human history. Skeptics including various scientists, and organizations such as the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, state that the entire topic can be explained as conventional objects or phenomena, while Ufologists suggest various unproven theories. Public polling indicates a considerable portion of the U.S. population feels that their government is withholding information on the subject. Photograph of a purported UFO in Passaic, New Jersey, taken The topic of UFOs has been, and is currently, popular in worldwide culture in fictional on July 31, 1952 movies, television and other media.
