> What is a UFO?

UFO - unidentified flying objects are:
no one knows exactly what it is. Many researchers (called "UFO")
have a theory by which the attempt
explain what is a UFO, but as
no one can learn a UFO in the science lab, all these ideas are 
no more than educated guesses. You can offer the following 
definition of a UFO, which can be useful when considering the 
topic: 

UFO - a publicly available surveillance
object or source of light in the sky or on the
land, whose appearance, trajectory,
action, movement, light emitted and
Colors do not have a logical or natural
explanations and can not be attributed not only witnesses, but 
also scientific and technical experts who try to explain the 
observation after studying evidence (for the definition of the 
American UFO Association CUFOS).



> Who sees UFOs?

Anyone can see UFOs. Has no
values ​​of the poor, he or rich, educated or uneducated, young 
or old. In fact, most of the witnesses not even looking for 
UFOs specifically, when they fortunate enough to see them. The 
greatest UFOs have a chance to observe people in zhivuschschie

small towns or in rural areas as well, located far from 
populated areas late at night. 


> In what looks like a UFO? How fast can they move? Can we get 
them pictures? 

UFOs may be any shape or size.
There are some small spots of light traveling in a strange way 
the night sky. They are called "night lights" (nocturnal 
lights; NLs). This is the most rapostranen.ny type of UFO. 
"Night Lights" at the not really of great interest,

as witnesses in this case can not
consider the details. Without them, ufologist can not learn 
anything new. Distant objects, usually a disco or a cup-like, 
observed in the daytime are called "Daytime wheels" (daylight 
disks; DDs). If a witness saw a UFO very close distance (500 
meters), such observations are called "Close Encounters" (Close 
encounters, CEs). There are three type of "close contacts" 
conditionally designated CE-1, CE-2, CE-3. When "close 
contacts" observed the UFO-like plates, boomerangs, spheres, 
diamonds, cigars, triangles and other odd shapes. They emit a 
bright light, sometimes white or black, sometimes multicolored. 

The observed rate of UFOs varies widely. UFOs may be a long 
time motionless Hangs in the air, then instantly fly away at 
great speed, and much more exceeding the speed limit of 
conventional aircraft. They can slow

move across the sky and perform incredible maneuvers such as 
turns at right angle at high speed is impossible. Until

It is not known what force moves
UFO or why they are so maneuverable.

There are some undeniably true
pictures of UFOs. Many so-called "UFO photos" actually depict 
natural phenomena (such as the clouds of fancy shapes) or light 
patches on the camera or marriage of the film, which is 
manifested in the photo. Some photos are intentionally tampered 
with by people who wish to convince others that they saw a UFO. 
This is done for various reasons, such as thirst Fame, money, 
advertising their religious or philosophical points of view. 
Some the most famous images were obtained in

Mack Minville, Oregon, in 1950, in
Rouen, France, in 1954, off the coast of Brazil in 1958 and in 
Lubbock, Texas, in 1951. There are also videos of UFOs obtained 
in the Hudson New York and in Belgium. These images are often 
found in UFO literature. 

Photos are not sufficient proof of the reality of UFOs, as they 
can be easily tampered with.



> When people first see UFOs?

Many researchers argue that UFOs
observed throughout history. There are many myths, legends and 
stories that describe the strange things seen in the sky or 
beings who came from heaven to help people in the development 
of civilization. Since modern scientists can not distinguish 
from these stories the actual facts, it is impossible to 
determine whether they are reliable reports of actual events. 
Therefore, most ufologists concentrate on the study of UFO 
reports from the beginning this century.


In 1890 North Americans have seen in the air dirizhableobraznye 
strange apparatus with a very bright spotlight, who flew over 
the farms and towns. Some have claimed that they saw the 
pilots, operate the controls. Researchers disagree about the 
authenticity of these stories. Many researchers believe these 
messages hoaxes that were distributed

local "club of liars," or sensatsonnymi stories invented by 
journalists with imaginative, well to the newspaper

sold out. However, some ufologists
inclined to consider these observations first
reliable reports in history.

During World War II pilots have seen their aircraft near a 
strange, bright glowing balls. They called them "Foo Fighter" 
(foo fighters) - a term that arose on the basis of expression 
("where there's foo, there's fire ") from" Smokey Stover "

(Smokey Stover), a popular magazine of comics at that time. 
First Allies assumed that the foo-fighters "are

secret weapon or razvedyvaetlnymi
apparatus of Nazi Germany. Only
After the war, they found that German
Pilots have also seen the bright lights, which are then 
considered to be American or British secret devices. 

In summer and autumn of 1946 over Sweden and
Norway observed a large number of unusual aerial objects. They 
christened "Ghost rockets" and believed the secret

Russian weapons, constructed using German military programs
to establish a missile. Ministry
Swedish Defence announced that 80% of 1000
"Ghost rockets" can be explained by natural phenomena, but the 
remaining 200 cases can not be explained either by natural 
phenomena or Swedish or Russian Aircraft, nor a hoax. 

Although reports of "dirigible balloon" and "foo-fighters" is 
more plausible and likely than ancient stories of the strange 
"miracles" in the sky, many ufologists call into question the 
reliability of the above posts. As a result, most researchers 
said that the modern UFO era began June 24, 1947 observation

businessman and pilot Kenneth Arnold. One Flew over the Cascade 
Mountains in Washington State, Arnold saw nine objects in the 
crescent-shaped, flying along the mountain ridge. Although he 
saw them only three and a half minutes, Arnold was convinced 
that it's not an airplane. He passed on his radio

message, and when he landed at the airport was already waiting 
for reporters to ask questions. "Like a plate thrown by 
parallel surface of the water" - as he described the motion 
objects. Hence the term "flying saucer". 


> How to recognize a hoax?

Although over the past forty years there were tens of thousands 
of UFO reports, menne 1% They turned out to be hoaxes. More

part of competent researchers can
identify hoax almost instantly.
The most common type of hoaxes
- Manipulation with a candle or a torch and a ball filled with 
helium. With these uncomplicated instruments seek to

ball of light and thus produced
impression of a UFO. Carefully planned
Realized and hoaxes, requiring further study are extremely
rare.

To exclude the possibility of false messages, you need to check 
the reliability of witnesses, details of messages, and any 
physical evidence, especially photographs. Before trusting the 
information received, the researcher must verify the 
authenticity and validity of these factors. The reliability of 
the witness can be tested through interviews with neighbors, 
friends, relatives, colleagues at work. In

Specifically, researchers are interested to determine whether 
it has the reputation of a sincere, responsible person, or 
hoaxer, a prankster, and babbler. Researcher also examines the 
message to determine whether it incredible assertion

or pronounced discrepancies. For example, if the elements are 
similar to those posts, that can be found in science fiction or

they are so unusual that did not show
in other reports of UFO sightings? Whether the witness claims 
he saw a UFO many time, although other witnesses can not find? 
Whether the witness claims that the important proof of his 
words have disappeared mysteriously way or have been abducted, 
"government agents"? While these facts do not may prove hoax, 
they can casts doubt on the message and should be considered in 
the study. 

Ultimately, the investigator must
examine the testimony to proerit whether
they are changed, falsified, or mystified. If the readings seem 
false or if they can be explained more prosaic methods, then to

their justification lies the shadow of a doubt.
Often experienced ufologists may at first
glance forged photograph UFOs.
Various clues, such as the marked differences between the 
clarity of UFOs and the objects of the anterior and posterior 
Plan to help identify fraud. Computer analysis of images can 
also be be used to prove a forgery.

Technical means can provide a clue and can provide evidence 
about the forms of objects, materials and density.


It must be remembered that in any study
should be critically and carefully examine
testimony. The more proven unreliable
facts, the greater the doubt lies
the credibility of the UFO phenomenon in general.
"The rule of thumb" in the research
UFO says "if something seems too
good to be true, it probably really is too good to be true 
"(this rule operates not only in ufology, but also in

life). Thus, the researcher should always approach is critical 
to any fact.

> Which of the aliens themselves? Where are they?

Since it is unknown whether
UFO spaceships, we can not
be sure that the aliens arrive on
Earth to other planets. Many ufologists argue that there is 
sufficient evidence that UFOs are really spacecraft, managed 
intelligent beings. In addition to reports of contact with 
aliens (Close Encounters the third type, or CE-3) there exists a

number of different descriptions. Some witnesses describe the 
creature as being very similar to humans. In fact, they say 
that these creatures can easily mingle with the crowd on any 
street in any city in the world. This type of creatures called 
"northerners" (Nordics), since they are all like the people 
living in northern Europe. Other reports describe the gray 
creatures low growth with high mindaleobraznymi

eyes and a large onion-like heads.
They are called "gray" (Grays). "Grey"
sometimes divided into subgroups on the various physical 
characteristics, such as growth. In several cases, witnesses 
reported seeing creatures that resemble robots or androids. 
Only in very unusual cases, people have claimed to have seen 
Aliens, monsters, so often portrayed in popular movies about 
the creatures from outer space.


There are many theories, where were the aliens, but there is 
definitely proven. Some speculate that the aliens have arrived 
from other planets, then others believe that the "parallel

worlds. "hypothesis that the substance of the
UFOs are puteshstvennikami time
of our own future as a right to exist. The most intriguing clue 
to the origin of newcomers came from a report about the 
kidnapping couple Betty and Barney Hill. During his stay aboard 
the UFO Mrs. Hill was shown three-dimensional map of the stars. 
Later, she replicated the card under hypnosis, to make a 
drawing. Years later, school teacher from Ohio, Margery

Fish has made a lot of models known
stellar groups in our part of the Galaxy and
compared them with drawn Hill star
card. In the end, Miss Fish found
agreement and identified two main stars
on the map as a double star Zeta Reticuli I and II. It is 
interesting to note that these two stars like the sun and are 
very likely have planetary systems - planets which may raumnaya 
life. 


> Is it true that aliens are abducting people?

Many claim that they were abducted by aliens, and often their 
stories are similar to each other. Kidnapped tell, as it 
appears in a round room with domed ceiling, bathed in bright 
light and filled with cold, moist air. They lying on a table, 
on which aliens held medetsinskie survey, using an unusual 
scanning equipment. Were taken biological samples: hair, skin, 
the genetic material. After survey, they were shown 
three-dimensional images, usually some emotional situations, 
such as, for example, the planet died from war or natural 
disaster. The aliens showed great interest in understanding 
human emotion. They communicated via telepathy, pointing Stolen

forget about what happened. Then they predicted future events, 
often disaster and promised to return.


After the return of stolen usually remember quite a bit, noting 
that inexplicably took a certain period of time and experience 
physical and psychological symptoms, indicating that the them 
there was something unusual. Unfortunately, in most cases the 
kidnappings, the people in such a situation can not practically

control his body and thus
can not prevent what is happening.

Although no one can prove abduction cases, if you suddenly find 
yourself in this situation, try to remain calm. Look around and 
try to remember as much as possible, ask questions. Try 
something to seize and leave in his evidence

survey. As in life,
cope with any situation you can help
faith, courage and sense of humor.



> Were there any instances where a UFO was causing people harm?

Occasionally, people report that during
time of contact with UFOs or abductions, they
hurt or injured. Physical effects include eye irritation, 
sunburn, skin injury, illness. After gone through, witnesses 
may experience nightmares, anxiety, and may be altered in

nature or in understanding the basic life principles. 
Witnesses, especially stolen, become convinced of the reality 
of UFOs and other paranormal phenomena, such as a poltergeist 
or a manifestation of psychic powers. 

One of the most famous UFO sightings
with disastrous consequences for witnesses
described the two women, Betty Cash and Vickie
Landrum, and Mrs. Landrum's grandson, Colby. In December 1980 
they traveled by road in a desolate part of Texas. Ahead of 
them saw a bright object in the form of cut

diamonds, flames erupted from the bottom
part. Mrs. Cash stopped the car and went out, the better to see 
a UFO. The object emitted a intense heat melted the dashboard 
of her car. Terrified, Mrs. Cash returned to the car and 
together with other watched as the object flies. Suddenly, a 
squadron of helicopters appeared. They approached and 
surrounded him of the object. Witnesses watched the object, 
followed by helicopters until they disappeared from sight.

After returning home, all three felt
ill. A few hours later they
blisters appeared tan on the body,
nausea and diarrhea. At Betty Cash was the most
severe symptoms and, eventually, she
medetsinskaya needed help. She was
hospitalized as a victim of
burns. The doctor who conducted the survey,
concluded that all the symptoms point to radiation sickness, 
that is, exposure radiation. Later, the victims have filed a

court for the U.S. government, arguing that it is responsible
for harm. (They identified the helicopters as the twin-engine 
helicopters Chaynuk (Chinook), used by army

USA.) Trial was unsuccessful,
because they could never prove that a UFO or the helicopters 
belonged managed by the U.S. government.
