Two nuclear scientists reported seeing a very bright yellow object above a cloud bank on the western horizon, moving slowly. The object then accelerated northward and disappeared behind a tall bank of clouds. About 10 minutes later the same or a similar object appeared traveling from north to south, stopped and hovered in the northwest sky for about 30 minutes. The object then diminished in apparent size and was hidden by clouds near the horizon. When viewed through 10 x 60 binoculars, the object had a conical shape and was reflecting sunlight. Its length was computed to be about 60 feet.

  • 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 10 5.Pdf
    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.

  • Alien Civilizations
    ALIEN CIVILIZATIONS What is Panspermia? Panspermia, pan meaning ‘all’, and sperma, meaning ‘seed’ is the theory that life is present throughout the Universe, distributed by meteoroids, planetoids, asteroids, comets, and also by spacecraft, particularly in the form of microbes. The Panspermia theory proposes that the microbes (microscopic life forms) that can endure the effects of space, like for instance, extremophiles (microbes that can withstand extreme temperatures), get trapped in debris that is expelled into space after collisions between planetoids and small Solar System bodies that shelter life. Some of the organisms may be scattered dormant for some amount of time before randomly colliding with other planets or intermingling with planetary disks. If met with the ideal conditions on a new planet's surface, the organisms become active and the process of evolution begins. Panspermia is not meant to address how life began, just the method that may cause its distribution in the Universe. How civilizations are categorised based on their energy use (Type 1, 2 and 3) The Kardashev scale is used for measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement, based upon the total amount of energy a civilization utilizes. The scale is categorised into three types called Type 1, 2, and 3. A Type 1 civilization utilises every available resource existing on its home planet, Type 2 derives all the energy of its star, and Type 3 harnesses it from huge swathes of its galaxy. The scale is hypothetical, but it appropriately puts energy consumption in a cosmic perspective. It was first postulated in 1964 by the Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev (Kardashyov).
