Unidentified
flying objects (UFOs) have been a source of concern, anxiety, and
ridicule for more than three decades in the United States, and for
centuries on a global scale. The question in the case of UFOs is not
whether there is other intelligent life in the universe, but whether it
has visited Earth, and if not, then what accounts for the thousands of
reports of strange lights and phenomena which seem to have no other
explanation? The 1977 film Close Encounters of the Third Kindrekindled interest in the UFO debate for a short time, and the 1982 movie E.T. the Extraterrestrialrefocused attention on the possible existence of other intelligent life in the universe.
We
start this book with an historical review of sightings of and contacts
with UFOs and aliens. This review is followed by commentary on U.S.
Congressional, and U.S. Air Force investigations into specific UFO
sightings and contacts. While a majority of this book is taken from the
1983 Congressional Research Service publication The UFO Enigma,
Additional information is provided through hyperlinks (such as the
two provided in the paragraph, above, research performed by
other entities, commentaries by witnesses and respected UFO logists both
supporting and contradicting the conclusions reached predominantly by
Air Force investigating entities, the Central Intelligence Agency, and
the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Since
1983, the U.S. federal government has ended its investigation of UFOs.
The reason given is that the Air Force, in their investigations,
determined that UFOs posed no threat to the nation. They arrived at that
conclusion despite the opinion expressed in a Central Intelligence
Agency memorandum of December 2, 1952 indicating “At this time, the
reports of incidents convince us that there is something going on that
must have immediate attention….Sightings of unexplained objects at great
altitudes and traveling at high speeds in the vicinity of major U.S.
defense installations are of such nature that they are not attributable
to natural phenomena or known types of aerial vehicles.
The
editors of this work agree that there is likely no threat posed by
UFOs. There are no known incidents of UFOs purposely attacking ground,
airborne, or spaceborn vehicles. On the contrary, there are incidents
which appear to be efforts to warn aircraft and spacecraft from
approaching too close. What appear to be warning shots were “fired” on
several occasions over the years. Given the technology required to
create an extraterrestrial vehicle – possibly faster than the speed of
light – one can comfortably presume that their technology is also
capable of producing effective weapons. If so, this strongly indicates a
non-hostile intent.
The
question, however, remains whether or not there is reason to continue
investigations in that UFOs may have something to teach us. If UFOs are
extraterrestrial visitors or entities that have managed to penetrate our
dimension from another dimension, this may well be possible.
A
first step might be to attempt to communicate with our visitors. It’s
quite possible that they have tried to communicate with us, but as far
as we can determine no attempts have been made to answer their possible
messages. One possible example of their attempted communication would be
the quite amazing Wroughton, Wiltshire, United Kingdom
crop circle, a complex presentation based on the first ten digits of
Pi. If this was created by extraterrestrials as an attempt to
establish communications, we earthlings could have answered with another
crop circle showing that we recognized pi and upon that could build a
“language” through which we could communicate one with the other.
With
our government firmly out of the picture, having abdicated any
responsibility they may have to monitor the UFO phenomena, private
organizations have taken over that responsibility. While they lack the
resources available to the federal government, at present they – and a
few foreign government entities – are all that is available.
