Peter Sturrock / Sturrock Panel Report

Summary:

"Velasco presented information on radar cases drawn in part from the files of GEPAN/SEPRA. He pointed out that one catalog (the "Weinstein catalog" now under development at GEPAN/SEPRA), with 489 cases in all, contains 101 (21%) radar/visual cases (cases that involve both radar detection and visual observation), and the files of the US Air Force Blue Book project contain 363 cases of which 76 (21%) are radar/visual cases."

Peter A. Sturrock , Ph.D.
Brief Biography

"Peter A. Sturrock studied mathematics at Cambridge University (with an interruption for radar research from 1944 until 1947) and was awarded the University Rayleigh Prize in 1949, a Ph.D. in 1951, and a Prize Fellowship at St John's College in 1952. After research at the National Bureau of Standards, the University of Paris, the Cavendish Laboratory, and the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Sturrock went to Stanford University in 1955. After research at CERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research (1957-58), he returned to Stanford and was appointed professor in 1961. He was Professor of Applied Physics from 1961 until 1998, and is now Emeritus Professor of Applied Physics and of Physics. He served as Director of the Center for Space Science and Astrophysics from 1992 until 1998, and as President of the Society for Scientific Exploration from 1981 until 2001. He has also served as Chairman of the Plasma Physics Division of the American Astronomical Society, as Chairman of the Solar Physics Division of the American Astronomical Society."

"His research interests have included electron physics, particle accelerators, plasma physics, solar physics, astrophysics, and scientific inference. He has received the annual prize of the Gravity Foundation (1967), the Hale Prize of the American Astronomical Society (1986), the Arctowski Medal of the National Academy of Sciences (1990), and the Space Science Award of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (1992)."

Radar evidence is considered physical evidence and can be used in a court of law. That is why many military and intelligence officials around the globe have said that the UFOs are not ours. And, there's other evidence as well.

"According to von Ludwiger, there are many events, involving both visual observations and radar responses, in Swiss airspace but the radar records are not publicly available. However, one case for which radar records were released occurred on June 5, 1996 at about 2:30 p.m. Six employees, including radar operators, of the military ATC at Dubendorf, Switzerland observed from their building in Klothen a large silvery disk apparently at a distance of 1700 meters. It appeared to be rotating and wobbling at an altitude of 1300 to 2000 meters. There was a corresponding recording of a target by three radar devices."


And, large silvery disk have been reported for centuries.

Getting to the AIM/FAR shortly, UFOs are known to exceed the speed of sound as noted by the Belgian Air Force in 1990.

QUOTE

No Sonic Booms

Colonel de Brouwer has gone on to explain that the maneuvers executed by these objects were done at altitudes virtually impossible for the F-16 interceptors launched for investigation to duplicate. Equally alarming, when fully considered, is the fact that these aircraft operated at speeds which definitely broke the sound barrier, but with no shock wave registering, and no sonic boom being heard by ground observers.

"Everything indicates that this object was intelligently directed to escape from the pursuing planes. During the next hour the scenario repeated twice. . .

"This fantastic game of hide and seek was observed from the ground by a great number of witnesses, among them 20 national policemen who saw both the object and the F-16s. The encounter lasted 75 minutes, but nobody heard the supersonic boom which should have been present when the object flew through the sonic barrier. No physical damage was reported. Given the low altitude and speed of the object, many windows should have been broken."


Yet, UFOs produce no sonic booms despite the fact they are tracked at supersonic and hypersonic velocites. Mankind hasn't solved that problem and that fact can be found in your 2007 AIM/FAR, Part 91, 91.817, and Appendix B, Authorizations to exceed Mach 1 (sections 1, 2, and 3).

QUOTE

From the radar data and eyewitness accounts, it is evident hat the UFO was an intelligently controlled flying craft since it reacted to each of the aircraft's lock-ons and even shot at the F-16s with a jamming signal, as confirmed by the lead F-16 pilot during a video interview, and the witness accounts are that of a triangular-shaped craft the size of a B-747.

The question now arise: what aircraft of mankind is capable of such advanced performance as demonstrated by that triangular-shaped flying craft that was seen by thousands of people over multiple nations?

So, what has been gathered from the information above, the UFO was an artificial flying object, and the UFO has been described by eyewitnesses as a triangular-shaped craft, the size of a B-747, which reacted intelligently to radar lock-ons, as confirmed on radar, and in addition to airborne radars, the craft was tracked on multiple ground-based radar systems as well, which means that the craft was an artificial flying object whose performance characteristics far exceed anything known to mankind.

Let's say that the ETH is not confirmed. What other hypothesis is there for the appearance and performance of said UAPs?
Life form? How is that not even more fantastic than ET? Plasma? Might explain SOME sightings, but certainly not all.
Any other hypothesis? How about some kind manifestation from the collective human psyche - sort of like poltergeists?
Interdimensional phenom? SkyEagle seems to me to have the most solid basis for his argument. Everyone else hints at
other explanations, but so far no one has given any, just that it can't be ET. Tell us what you think it is, not what you think
it isn't.

That is actually an interesting idea, but it appears that these things have "their own mind", i.e. they do not depend on how humans think or want etc. Just like plasma, it could very well explain some sightings.

Why not? What do we know of the capabilities of, if there are such things, other dimensions or other "levels of existance"? These manouvers could very well be their "hello", only it looks and acts as something completely different (for example, as flying objects).

It certainly looks like it is aliens we are dealing with, and for all we know, it could be. I do agree that there is some arrogance in the scientific mainstream to bother with this (and perhaps rightly so, after all, how are we going to study it?), but it also lies on the UFO community. In other words, there isn't much we can present to prove anything, not even that they are aliens from another planet.

This is not evidence.
It is an alleged data set, with nothing to substantiate its authenticity.

It does indicate some extraordinary, if not impossible movement. It is thus dubious, although not necessarily false, anything is possible...although the explanation may be less than forthcoming.

We continue to see massive vertical acellerations up, and down, and horizontal velocity accelerations of immense scale, and at 18 seconds we see about a -15g diving turn and a 700 MPH vertical velocity from 5000 feet...right into the ground...boom!

At any rate, this supposed data set proves little, as it is unidentified and unsubstantiated.

There is no way to conclude anything about this data.

Throw in the pilots story and a couple of ground based radar operators....in the end all you have here is a mystery, not an alien spaceship.

REPORT ON THE OBSERVATION OF UFOs DURING THE NIGHT OF MARCH 30-31, 1990
Report written by the secretarial staff, Belgian Air Force

a/ This is the first time a radar contact has been made, in corrrelation with different sensors of the Air Force (CRC, TCC, RAPCON, EBBE and F-16 radar), and in the same area as visual observations. This has to be explained by the fact that the March 30-31 UFOs have been noticed at +/- 10000 feet altitude, whereas in the former cases there was always talk of visual contacts at very low altitude.

b/ The visual evidence, on which this report is partially based, come from gendarmes on duty, whose objectivity cannot be questioned.

c/ The UFOs, as soon as seen by the F-16 radar in the "Target Track" mode (after interception), drastically changed their parameters. The speeds measured at that time and the altitude shifts exclude the hypothesis according to which planes could be mistaken for the oberved UFOs. The slow moves during the other phases differ from the behaviour of planes as well.


Radar registrations March 31st - result of research.

"Research was done by professor August Meessen, professor of physics at the Catholic University of Louvain-la-Neuve and member of Sobeps since its foundation. After a first analysis the professor concluded that 'the only reasonable hypothesis is that it concerns UFOs of which the performance clearly indicate their non-terrestrial origin'.

_________________________________________________________________

OBSERVATIONS

"The F16 flew 3 times through the observation field of the ground observers. At the third passage the ground observers notified a change in the behaviour of the light spots. The most luminous started to blink very intensively while the other disappeared. Consequently, the most luminous spot started to dim gradually."


CONCLUSIONS:

The BELGIAN Airforce was unable to identify neither the nature nor the origin of the phenomena. However, it had sufficient elements to exclude following assumptions:

a. Balloons. Impossible due to the highly variable speeds (confirmed visually and by radar).

b. ULM. Same as for balloons.

c. RPV. Impossible due to the hovering characteristics.

d. Aircraft (including Stealth). Same as for RPV. No noise.

e. Laser projections or Mirages. Unlikely due to lack of projection surface (no clouds). Light spots have been observed from different locations. Light spots moved over distance of more than 15 NM. Form of inlighted part of spots has been observed with spectacles. Laser projections or mirages can not be detected by radar.

Classic Status:

"The Belgium wave has obtained classic status in UFO lore. With over 1,000 witnesses, confirmed radar sightings, plane radar lock-ins, and military confirmations, the fact that an unknown craft moved across the country of Belgium cannot be denied. The case is also important for its unique information sharing. Civilian and military officials were forthcoming with the reports, and set a model for others to follow in their pursuit to uncover the mystery behind the UFO enigma."

But that is a point of view. All that humans have experienced lies in the material reality, thus everything humans see and experience can be classed as "material". Take "my" sun-example: The sun looks like it is coming up and going down, our world does not move, and everything in the sky looks like it is going around us. The reality is very different.

That is the point with flying saucers. They haven't even begun to talk to us, no one have accepted them being here, nothing is resolved. We give aliens god-like features like unimaginable intelligence, that we humans are too stupid, where they are supposed to live, how they get here and so on. But the only hard proof we got is pictures and some videos, and eventual claims of abductions and witnesses. We don't even have an "unknown" material, not even the smallest spoon from one of these abductions.

While I agree with you, I can understand the need in some to have a physical item before they are convinced. However, nobody else has come forward with what they THINK it is if not a duck. So they debunk your evidence all day long, but they offer no better explanation for it. Possibly if someone did come forward with what they truly thought, those who disagree would come out in force against them and that's...scary.

And as it appears, it has been around for just about the whole human history.
But that is a point of view. All that humans have experienced lies in the material reality, thus everything humans see and experience can be classed as "material". Take "my" sun-example: The sun looks like it is coming up and going down, our world does not move, and everything in the sky looks like it is going around us. The reality is very different.

That is the point with flying saucers. They haven't even begun to talk to us, no one have accepted them being here, nothing is resolved. We give aliens god-like features like unimaginable intelligence, that we humans are too stupid, where they are supposed to live, how they get here and so on. But the only hard proof we got is pictures and some videos, and eventual claims of abductions and witnesses. We don't even have an "unknown" material, not even the smallest spoon from one of these abductions.


A far as human technology, my understanding is that the US (and other governments) are decades ahead in secret tech from what we think of as state of the art. When certain techs have finally been revealed, it appears they have already been around for quite awhile, so anything that has yet to be revealed is likely to be even more advanced. I think such secret techs can account for at least some (but not all) of what civilians think of as being UAPs/UFOs. The fact that UAPs have been around for most of human history tells us that there is something more happening.

It was people who observed more closely and did not follow the status quo that showed us that the earth orbits the sun. They paid dearly for such unpopular positions. But no one has gone to the sun to confirm such ideas. Why can't more careful scientific observation be used to clarify this issue of UAP? Why is it that even when scientists come out in favor of the ETH, they are immediately derided? OK I'll agree - let's not jump to conclusions, but let's get the skeptics and the believers to cooperate with the scientific community to make a serious study (not a debunking effort or the opposite). If studying the stars can tell us info about galaxies millions of light years away, why can we use that same ingenuity to unravel this mystery too? I personally believe it is ET, but I have no problem with finding out otherwise. Just making statements like "Its not ET, we don't know what it is" adds nothing to the debate or the quest for answers. What do the radar data sets tell us? Even meteorologists use such data in their scientific endeavor, so why can't that be valid for UFO study?

I don't remember where I saw this, but some doctor had removed foreign objects form several alleged abductees. The findings about those objects posed more questions than answers - not exactly proving or disproving either way.

I can only speak for my self of course. I have never denied the existence of UFOs, and I do realize that there are things that have been seen, that are unexplained...UFOs, in other words.

But, Unexplained does not mean alien!! Never has.

I know that these aliens on Earth beliefs may be strongly held and are often tied in with self-image, passionate whishes or perceptions about the world around us. They can, however, be in the way when looking at the "evidence" objectively.

Me, as a skeptic, I do what I always do, look for anything BUT the "aliens are here" explanation. Then, in the end, after all and every possible known explanation is looked at, then and only then, might we have something interesting left to take serious.

So far I havent seen one, that can ONLY be explained with alien spaceships.

Of coarse unexplained does not mean alien, but alien can't be outright rejected either. We don't have a definitive answer. Rejecting the ETH because some people are passionate about the idea is not going to help find the answers. I saw a program that talked about plasma being a possible explanation. That seems probable for some sightings. The idea of secret techs may also explain some sightings, but since these UFOs have been around for most of human history, that can only go so far. I think that ET factors into many but not all sightings. I don'feel this thread has addressed the what else part enough yet. Perhaps manifestations of the human psyche (not hallucinations, but subconsciously originating physical manifestations) should be considered. I believe truth is stranger than fiction, so whatever the ultimate answer may be (if we ever get an answer) will not be disappointing.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS?

Hi Strange.
As a matter of curiosity, is that F8 your function key?

More to the point, Wait a minute!!!
I agree with Sky, to a point. My thought is that SOME of the UFO sightings are human objects, such as a couple I've seen. Those craft, while unidentified, could be either, but I'm inclined to think they were ours. Sky and I disagree mainly on where, what, why, and who some of these craft belong to: my experience in covert operations indicates that some, or many, of these sightings originate with black projects, and that we have technologies that are generally unknown. The upshot of that is that Sky seems to think that those highly advanced craft would follow the rules, while I don't think they would. In essence, they are "hiding in plain sight", as I used to do with things like Christmas presents. My presents were never discovered, even though they were not wrapped and in plain sight, even as large as a bicycle. The covert world does the same type of thing (which is where I learned the finer techniques). And so I think there are quite a number of sightings that could be explained in this way.

Unfortunately, there are also sightings that cannot be explained as such. Those (I've had some myself) I categorize as true UFOs, and denial doesn't make them cease to exist. So, I'm relatively certain that UFOs are real, but cannot, by any stretch of imagination, determine whence they come. It seems most likely that they are visitors from elsewhere (that makes them ET). And so I tend to agree with Sky, et al, in their contention that these things exist. In fact, I tend to think it's utterly ridiculous to deny them, considering the size of the universe, right?

Sky and I had a discussion about all this, and in the end, I think we decided to agree to disagree. Sky is convinced of the rules, I'm not.

So, to finish this in short, Yes, I think UFOs exist, Yes I think some are ET, and Yes, to think otherwise is overlooking a helluva lot of evidence.

They are ducks, not meese.

On the contrary, it should put people to a more skeptical view of the phenomenon.

Radar tells us that the phenomenon likely takes on a physical shape, but as even skyeagle said, sometimes they don't even show there, yet are perfectly visible to the human eye. What radar can't tell is if the object constantly is physical, or only during certain times. Can it tell if the object is something that projects physical data to conceal it's real properties?

For the record and any other curious souls, Strange F8 refers to the idea that truth is stranger than fiction and so whatever fate (F8) may befall, it will be most likely very strange.

While I agree that much of today's sightings may be secret tech, as I have stated before, that cannot account for those sightings that have occured throughout human history.
However niether does ET account for every sighting. That's why I'd like to hear some real thoughts/opinions otherwise. Thank you for your honest response to my inquiry.
Wouldn't it be hilaroius to find out that some movie like Mars Attacks or Spaced Invaders had it right by accident - that ET is, apart from being tech advanced, really rather stupid and that's why they don't make contact.

I myself have seen something strange but I'm not sure if it was ET, meteor or satellite. Just a light with a tail that seemed move too quick for a plane and too far across the sky to be a meteor.

True that sightings are random and therefore hard to study, but there are hot spots of activity that may be good places to start. Also, if we started with an alternate hypothesis and looked specifically to corroborate or discorroborate (is that a real word?) we may uncover some new insight into what's happening. What does the fact that UAPs can appear visually yet not on radar actually tell us. Certainly there is something more scientifically that can be gleaned from closer study of whatever data exists. According to documents released through the Freedom of Information Act, the US military has regarded UFOs as a threat on several occasions, so why not study them closer. Also, what does it mean that some of them seem to change shape? I wonder, if we put aside the ETH DEBATE long enough, if studying the existing data would be sufficient to spur new discoveries? As far as implants, some objects found don't seem to be identifyable as being of earth origin or not, but how did they get there and why can anything be found in the first place? It all seems enigmatic, but perhaps something important may be discovered by serious consideration of the data. If we put aside the arguments and our pet theories, could we make some headway in researching this phenomenom? I'd like to think so.

I can't wait to hear from others about their ideas...

Here's one of my good ones, the thing that overflew every week. It was black, and had five lights arranged equidistant on the leading edges of the wings (?). It was more or less triangular in shape, smaller than a commercial jet, larger than a corporate jet. The flight path was approximately 1200 ft altitude, absolute, or about 200 ft above my house. Speed was 35-40 mph (a bit less than 33kt), slower than the traffic on the through street below my house. There was little noise, best described as a muted dull roar, quiet enough that if you didn't know it was there you'd likely miss the sound. First time I saw it was because of the lights, not the sound. One could, I suppose, call this thing ET, but somehow I don't think ET would drive down the same street consistently, week after week, as if on a schedule. This one I chalk up to our own technology; what that is, I'd really like to know, because I suspect that some of the antics Sky speaks of could be performed by such a craft, if they use what I think they use. No further comment.

A globe of unknown diameter, I suspect about 30 ft or so, spherical as nearly as I could tell, flew over Great Falls MT in 1964. Things were a little mixed up then, so I don't remember the exact date, but I think it was October. Time was about 9:30 pm, and the thing was soundless, glowing almost as a fluorescent light, and had a westerly course from Malmstrom AFB. Four F4 Phantoms followed the globe but it accelerated to a speed the F4s couldn't possibly match. What was that? Well, the Phantom was our premier fighter at the time, and a few other planes were faster than the F4 on afterburner, but those were naturally classified. The F4 could go around 1400, and those guys were giving it all they had but couldn't catch the thing, so I'll guess it was ET.

What do these things use for power? Here are some suppositions. There has been much research into the nuclear aspects of power generation, but since these require large amounts of shielding, they aren't in the running. Let's suppose Dirac is right. Suppose there is a sea of incoherent energy that is ubiquitous, and all that needs to be done is to orthorotate the energy to form an unlimited source. This energy would be freely available regardless of universal position, and a vehicle would need only the means to tap that energy. [This is NOT an unsupported speculation; there is much evidence that the Dirac sea exists, and some theorists contend that permanent magnets utilize that energy to maintain their state. Including myself.] Suppose that some civilization, ourselves included, learned to tap this unlimited energy. Suppose that civilization also, through their knowledge of physics and non-physics, knows that the wave/particle duo is in fact either or both at any instant. Suppose that all fields are merely different manifestations of the same things, as all physical elements are composed of the same particles. Suppose that quantum physics shows that the Clark idea of 'massless particles' is true, and mass is nothing other than 'sticky energy', as many now believe, and the stickiness is due to the binding energy.

Let's grok this (grok = understand the spirit of it) set. No mass is equivalent to stating that lightspeed can be exceeded by nullification of the mass properties. While this may require large amounts of energy, that's not a problem for a people that can convert the Dirac sea. Distance, therefore, is not a factor. What happens with an extremely powerful electromagnet? The thing seems to shimmer a bit, waver, or not be quite solid (I have seen this a lot in my field, dealing with powerful magnets). For instance, to magnetize samarium cobalt or neodymium, very potent fields must be applied. This is done (usually) by charging a large capacitor bank to several hundred volts, then discharging this power through a one or two turn coil on a spindle in which the samarium is immersed. When you watch this thing fire, the entire area near the core seems to shiver and bend for the instant that the field exists (a fraction of a second).
Let's assume, for a time, that the fields that make the universe can be manipulated (no reason to think they can't since we control individual fields) such that mass can be made to appear as a blob of energy, with no fixed form, but at the same time consists of the material (now a form of massless energy, perhaps wave energy, but coherent). Since this blob is massless, it has no inertia (at least not the kind we know of in public circles), and could feasibly be accelerated quickly, almost instantaneously to extreme velocities. It could change direction instantly without adverse reaction. In other words, it could and would disobey all the standard laws by which we normally abide. It could use gravity as a thrust device, or even the flow of the Dirac sea, and so wouldn't need "engines" as we know them.
If the beings (quite possibly us) in such vehicles were also transformed into this form, there would be no adverse effects from inertia either.

Let's posit one more thing. Let's say that a device could be built which would manufacture an intense electric (therefore magnetic) field, a field so powerful that it isolated the object from mass, energy flow, time, and so on. Wouldn't such a device be capable of the activities mentioned above? If a device is isolated from the universe, then it might also be isolated from the same "laws" we put so much faith in, might it not?

These little technological mentioned above are not fiction. A tremendous amount of research has been done regarding fields and field interaction. There are still unknowns (to me, not necessarily to everyone), but there are some things that do indicate someone knows something. For these reasons, I state that many UFOs are human items, NOT ALL, but many. Since the sightings go way back, my inclination is to think that it's probably part us/part ET at this time.

Regarding the theories above, by the way, in my researches into magnetics, I've seen some things happen that indicate what was stated as possible might well be true. I have neither the facilities nor the time to go deeply into the matter (though I'd like to), so I limit myself to what I can accomplish in the field. Now, I've had some discussions with others on these forums, and some think I'm nuts. I'd like to say, however, that when pressed for answers, they have none, and resort to name calling, questioning qualifications, and so forth. So if you're one of those, and you want to argue, prepare yourself for some interesting questions that demand good answers (not some sleazy mathematical thesis, either).

But, what does it mean when military and commercial aircrews both report a metallic saucer-shaped craft the size of a ship, which is confirmed on airborne and ground-based radars, along with its performance capabilties, which was also recorded by those systems that far exceeded even the capabilities of NASA's hypersonic X-43?

Not even close to being our aircraft, and that is why I posted references in the 2007 AIM/FAR, Part 91, 91.817, and Appendix B, sections, 1, 2, and 3, in order to make a point that the UFO could not have been ours and we didn't have an aircraft capable of such drastic maneuvers, much less the size of a B-747.

And furthermore, we don't fly our secret aircraft in the manner that UFOs are known to do and in places where such aircraft would be forbidden by the military, after all, there are reasons why classified are classified as such. Second, we didn't have aircraft capable of hovering and then zooming off into a climb at 9000 mph within the earth's atmosphere and not create a sonic boom, and it is inconceivable to think that we use our secret aircraft to degrade our own strategic nuclear missile capability.

Even our latest military aircraft and those of the next generation still on the drawing boards, are still tagged to be powered by conventional power systems.

Are you to say that this incident was caused by one of Lockheed's "Skunk Works" aircraft and the way the military operates it valuable secret assets that is suppose to remain hidden from the eyes of the public?

"Malmstrom AFB - UFO Sighting"

N M C C
THE NATIONAL MILITARY COMMAND CENTER
WASHINGTON DC 20301
8 November 1975
0600 EST

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD

Subject: Unidentified Sightings

1. 0308 EST FONECON from NORAD Command Director: at 0253 EST
Malmstrom AFB Montana received seven radar cuts on the height-
finder radar at altitudes between 9,500' and 15,500'. Simultaneously,
ground witnesses observed lights in the sky and the sounds of jet
engines similar to jet fighters. Cross-tell with FAA revealed
no jet aircraft within 100NM of the sightings. Radar tracked the
objects over Lewistown, Montana at a speed of seven (7) knots.
Two F-106 Helicopters from the 24th NORAD Region were scrambled
at 0254 EST and became airborne at 0257 EST. At the time of the
initial voice report personnel at Malmstrom AFB and SAC sites
K1, K3, L3 and L6 were reporting lights in the sky accompanied
by jet engine noise.

2. 0344 EST FONECON, same source:

Objects could not be intercepted. Fighters had to maintain a
minimum 12,000' because of mountainous terrain. Sightings
had turned west, increasted speed to 150 knots. Two tracks were
apparent on height-finder radars 10-12 NM apart. SAC Site K3
reported sightings between 300' and 1,000' while site L-4 reported
sightings 5NM NW of their position. Sightings disapeared from
radar at position 4650N/10920W at a tracked speed of three (3)
knots.

3. At 0440 EST, NMCC intiated contact with the NORAD Command
director who reported the following:

0405 EST: Malmstrom receiving intermittent tracks on both
search and height-finder radars. SAC site C-1, 10NM SE of
Stanford, Montana, reported visual sightings of unknown objects.

0430 EST: Personnel at 4 SAC sites reported observing inter-
cepting F-106's arrive in area; sighted objects turn off their
lights upon arrival of interceptors, and back on upon their departure.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

0440 EST: SAC site C-1 still had a visual sighting on objects.

4.NORAD stated that Northern Lights will sometimes cause phenomena
such as this on height-finder radars, but their check with weather
services revealed no possibility of Northern Lights.

5. NMCC notified Washington FAA at 0445 EST of the incidents
described above. They had not received any information prior to
this time.

6. 0522 EST FONECON with NORAD Command Director: At 0405 EST
SAC Site L-5 observed one object accelerate and climb rapidly
to a point in altitude where it became indistringuishable from
the stars. NORAD will carry this incident as a FADE remaining
UNKNOWN at 0320 EST. since after that time only visual sightings
occurred.

And, are you to say that this incident was caused by one of Lockheed's "Skunk Works" aircraft? Remember, the UFO phenomena is a worldwide phenomena and not limited to the United States, and the phenomenon has been reported for centuries, long before the existence of Lockheed's "Skunk Works" and before mankind's first flight in an aircraft.

Flying saucer perturbed the air traffic at Bariloche airport.

SAN CARLOS DE BARILOCHE 02/08 (AFP) = On Monday morning, around ten eye-witnesses reported that, moving at high velocity and defying all known laws of physics, a white flying saucer perturbed the air traffic at the San Carlos de Bariloche airport, located 1 800 km S-W of Buenos-Aires, during 15 minutes on Monday to Tuesday night.

The observation stated on Monday at 23:30 GMT (Tuesday 01H30 HB) while Aérolinas Argentinas flight 674, en route from Buenos Aires with 102 passengers and 3 crew members was on final approach to land on the runway of Bariloche airport, an in vogue winter resort located on the first slopes of the Andes.

"The pilot of the plane had to accomplish a desperate escape maneuver not to collide with an unidentified flying object (UFO)" said several members of the Argentine military air forces. These testimonies were confirmed by Major Jorge Oviedo himself who "also saw a UFO" and who stated that "a power failure occurred at the same time in the city and all recording and measure apparatus at the airport were jammed". Several inhabitants claimed they saw the UFO just before the power failure.

"We were 15 minutes away from landing at Bariloche. The local air traffic controller gave us clearance for initiating the instrument landing procedure. We came down from level 120 (i.e. 12,000 feet) to level 30 (i.e. 3,000 feet; around 1,000 meters) said pilot Jorge Polanco.

"As I was initiating final descent, I saw suddenly a white light in front of the plane, moving at high speed directly towards us before stopping instantly around 100 meters away. When I re-initiated the approach procedure, the object turned in a strange way to accompany our descent turn and kept a trajectory parallel to that of the plane, still 100 meters away " said the pilot.

" My plane was working properly, but after a while, the color of the saucer (the size of which was comparable to that of a liner), shifted. Two green lights at the extremities and a slowly flashing orange one at the center appeared ", he added.

" As I was almost landing, the runway lights and those of the airport shut off at once. I therefore had to apply full throttle to climb again to 3 000 feet, tempting to perform an escape maneuver, but always accompanied by the UFO, which eventually climbed at a supernatural speed. I did not believe my eyes and I was very anxious, as were my fellow crew members " added Polanco who stated that " the UFO was not moving in accordance with known laws of nature and physics ".

"When the lights came back, I initiated again the final decent. The UFO then disappeared at very high speed towards CERRO OTTO (a local mountain) ", concluded the pilot, who admitted he stayed " five minutes in the pilot cabin feeling sick once on the ground ."

Reported in newspapers around the world, including the San Francisco Chronicle and LA Times.

True that sightings are random and therefore hard to study, but there are hot spots of activity that may be good places to start.


Hessdalen, Norway is such a place and the study started 25 years ago and is still ongoing.

What does the fact that UAPs can appear visually yet not on radar actually tell us.


Well in Hessdalen it's been discovered that a vast majority of UAP observed are surrounded by plasma. Plasma can both reflect or absorb RADAR waves.

Here's one of my good ones, the thing that overflew every week. It was black, and had five lights arranged equidistant on the leading edges of the wings (?). It was more or less triangular in shape, smaller than a commercial jet, larger than a corporate jet. The flight path was approximately 1200 ft altitude, absolute, or about 200 ft above my house. Speed was 35-40 mph (a bit less than 33kt), slower than the traffic on the through street below my house. There was little noise, best described as a muted dull roar, quiet enough that if you didn't know it was there you'd likely miss the sound. First time I saw it was because of the lights, not the sound. One could, I suppose, call this thing ET, but somehow I don't think ET would drive down the same street consistently, week after week, as if on a schedule. This one I chalk up to our own technology; what that is, I'd really like to know, because I suspect that some of the antics Sky speaks of could be performed by such a craft, if they use what I think they use. No further comment.

A globe of unknown diameter, I suspect about 30 ft or so, spherical as nearly as I could tell, flew over Great Falls MT in 1964. Things were a little mixed up then, so I don't remember the exact date, but I think it was October. Time was about 9:30 pm, and the thing was soundless, glowing almost as a fluorescent light, and had a westerly course from Malmstrom AFB. Four F4 Phantoms followed the globe but it accelerated to a speed the F4s couldn't possibly match. What was that? Well, the Phantom was our premier fighter at the time, and a few other planes were faster than the F4 on afterburner, but those were naturally classified. The F4 could go around 1400, and those guys were giving it all they had but couldn't catch the thing, so I'll guess it was ET.

What do these things use for power? Here are some suppositions. There has been much research into the nuclear aspects of power generation, but since these require large amounts of shielding, they aren't in the running. Let's suppose Dirac is right. Suppose there is a sea of incoherent energy that is ubiquitous, and all that needs to be done is to orthorotate the energy to form an unlimited source. This energy would be freely available regardless of universal position, and a vehicle would need only the means to tap that energy. [This is NOT an unsupported speculation; there is much evidence that the Dirac sea exists, and some theorists contend that permanent magnets utilize that energy to maintain their state. Including myself.] Suppose that some civilization, ourselves included, learned to tap this unlimited energy. Suppose that civilization also, through their knowledge of physics and non-physics, knows that the wave/particle duo is in fact either or both at any instant. Suppose that all fields are merely different manifestations of the same things, as all physical elements are composed of the same particles. Suppose that quantum physics shows that the Clark idea of 'massless particles' is true, and mass is nothing other than 'sticky energy', as many now believe, and the stickiness is due to the binding energy.

Let's grok this (grok = understand the spirit of it) set. No mass is equivalent to stating that lightspeed can be exceeded by nullification of the mass properties. While this may require large amounts of energy, that's not a problem for a people that can convert the Dirac sea. Distance, therefore, is not a factor. What happens with an extremely powerful electromagnet? The thing seems to shimmer a bit, waver, or not be quite solid (I have seen this a lot in my field, dealing with powerful magnets). For instance, to magnetize samarium cobalt or neodymium, very potent fields must be applied. This is done (usually) by charging a large capacitor bank to several hundred volts, then discharging this power through a one or two turn coil on a spindle in which the samarium is immersed. When you watch this thing fire, the entire area near the core seems to shiver and bend for the instant that the field exists (a fraction of a second).
Let's assume, for a time, that the fields that make the universe can be manipulated (no reason to think they can't since we control individual fields) such that mass can be made to appear as a blob of energy, with no fixed form, but at the same time consists of the material (now a form of massless energy, perhaps wave energy, but coherent). Since this blob is massless, it has no inertia (at least not the kind we know of in public circles), and could feasibly be accelerated quickly, almost instantaneously to extreme velocities. It could change direction instantly without adverse reaction. In other words, it could and would disobey all the standard laws by which we normally abide. It could use gravity as a thrust device, or even the flow of the Dirac sea, and so wouldn't need "engines" as we know them.
If the beings (quite possibly us) in such vehicles were also transformed into this form, there would be no adverse effects from inertia either.

Let's posit one more thing. Let's say that a device could be built which would manufacture an intense electric (therefore magnetic) field, a field so powerful that it isolated the object from mass, energy flow, time, and so on. Wouldn't such a device be capable of the activities mentioned above? If a device is isolated from the universe, then it might also be isolated from the same "laws" we put so much faith in, might it not?

These little technological mentioned above are not fiction. A tremendous amount of research has been done regarding fields and field interaction. There are still unknowns (to me, not necessarily to everyone), but there are some things that do indicate someone knows something. For these reasons, I state that many UFOs are human items, NOT ALL, but many. Since the sightings go way back, my inclination is to think that it's probably part us/part ET at this time.

Regarding the theories above, by the way, in my researches into magnetics, I've seen some things happen that indicate what was stated as possible might well be true. I have neither the facilities nor the time to go deeply into the matter (though I'd like to), so I limit myself to what I can accomplish in the field. Now, I've had some discussions with others on these forums, and some think I'm nuts. I'd like to say, however, that when pressed for answers, they have none, and resort to name calling, questioning qualifications, and so forth. So if you're one of those, and you want to argue, prepare yourself for some interesting questions that demand good answers (not some sleazy mathematical thesis, either).


Far from argue, I'd like to know more of what you're doing in this area. What do you think of Hutchinson? I don't know what to think except that I'd love to see such things in action. Great post, thanks.

We can already state that seemingly 'inertia-less' entities seem to account for the majority of 'unknowns' or UAP. BUT, this seems to have been the case for hundreds of years. That is a fatal blow to the "Exotic Technology" hypothesis.

I think the acknowledgement that UAP exist as an observable phenomena that has yet to be scientifically explained is a "revolutionary breakthrough" itself.

Far from being a fatal blow, it is more of a support for the hypothesis of some of the current sightings being human. Since the inertia-less maneuvers have been around for centuries, if not millenia, those early sightings bolster the contention that we humans can also develop such technology. And, it seems, that in fact we have done substantial work in these areas.

As a vague for instance, during WWII, it was found by submariners that there were many occasions of St. Elmo's Fire when the boats went submerged. The source was determined to be tight toroidal plasma emitted during the operation of the electrical contactors supplying power to the drive motors. When contact was made or broken, the very large currents being switched emitted these things; eventually, hardware was added to subdue the problem. The phenomenon was of great curiosity to many scientists/engineers, and subsequent research has yielded numerous advances in electric/magnetic field knowledge.

Just such discoveries as above, and discoveries involving the electric/magnetic fields around unipolar devices are providing us with a great deal of knowledge, much of which has yet to be divulged to the general public, including the science community. More often than not, general science is living in the technology and theory developed in educational institutions, which is decades short of current. I received quite a shock when I went from college to industry, especially since I went into aerospace. There are many uninformed people who maintain that the advances of science come from those institutions, but the facts are that either government research, government funded research, or privately funded research are the sources of current science and technology, where it really matters. Since it's virtually impossible to maintain any form of secrecy within educational institutions, those government agencies involved in darker projects don't go there. It's that simple.

As to Hutchinson, I'm indecisive. I've seen a couple of videos of his "levitation", but don't have enough information about the function to make any decision, either way. Some have said he has been "debunked", but my personal belief is that most debunkers haven't enough information, or have ulterior motives to make their claims of fakery. Sort of like this: I don't believe every UFO sighting; likewise, I don't believe everything debunkers say, offhand. I need more information, usually.

At present, to answer what am I doing, I'm limiting my research to energy acquisition. There have been several devices, some my designs, some others' designs, that have yielded answers to the orthorotation idea. The use of inertia combined with magnetics will yield exceptional energy gains. Also, the fortuitous use and re-use of driving electrical energy will do likewise. Tuned circuitry to accomplish magnetic amplification, therefore increased energy gains is also very promising.

In the first case, modified switched reluctance electrical generators are capable of providing more output than input. Yeah, yeah, it's impossible to get something for nothing, but what happens in these things is that the permanent magnet field is path-switched rather than driving the generating coil through the field, such that the PM field actually does the work of intersection of the generating coil. Since there is attraction of the rotor to the flux path, that attraction can be stored in a flywheel (inertia), and re-used to extract the rotor from the field, providing a net zero magnetic drag. In this fashion, the only friction to be overcome is in the bearings, so a small motor can be used to drive a much larger rotor, provided some form of starter is used to get the device up to speed.

In a pulsed switched reluctance motor, proper drive phasing and on/off time will allow recovery of electrical drive energy. Texas Instruments has a section on the web devoted to sr motors and drive systems. Some of these drives can be modified to accomplish energy recovery to near 90%, or in other words, the magnetic recoil generates recoverable electrical energy. This means that (in that instance) out of each 100 watts of electrical energy used to drive the SR rotor, 90% is recovered; or, the motor is 90% efficient with regard to electricity in v. electricity out. This entirely neglects the mechanical energy produced in turning the rotor. Properly done, the efficiency of the electrical-mechanical conversion can be as high as 92%, practically speaking, usually a bit less than that. What I'm saying, then, is that while using up (non-recoverable) 10 watts, the motor is producing roughly 90 watts of mechanical power. You see?

A generator can be built that uses a fluctuating field to "steer" fixed fields within a toroid. The fluctuating field must be driven, but if the driving circuitry is composed of an isolation transformer with a tuned secondary, the input needs be nothing more than a tickle. Essentially, the fields between offset magnets are brushed back and forth within the toroid, and generating coils are placed in appropriate locations to take advantage of the fields switching between magnets. Can't say much more about this, still in experimental stages. If interested, the device is patented and you can get the patent and theory here: http://magneticpowerinc.com/patent.html

Other projects I'm not prepared to comment on at this time.

Unexplained Sightings Met With Denial
By Leslie Kean
Special To The (San Francisco) Examiner

"In January, the leading international news service Agence France Presse reported that a Siberian airport was shut down for an hour and a half while a luminescent unidentified flying object hovered above its runway."

Although it's hard to imagine such an event taking place in the industrialized United States, a compelling October 2000 study by a retired aerospace scientist from NASA-Ames Research Center shows that similar incidents have occurred in American skies over the last fifty years."

"Aviation Safety in America - A Previously Neglected Factor" presents over one hundred pilot and crew reports of encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) which appear to have compromised aviation safety."

"Author Dr. Richard F. Haines, formerly NASA's Chief of the Space Human Factors Office and a Raytheon contract scientist, is currently Chief Scientist for the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP), a research organization founded last year."

"In stunning detail, pilots and crew describe a range of geometric forms and lights inconsistent with known aircraft or natural phenomena. Bizarre objects paced aircraft at relatively near distances, sometimes disabling cockpit instruments, interrupting ground communications, or distracting the crew."

"The data include fifty-six near misses. Impulsive responses by pilots to an approaching high-speed object can be hazardous; in a few cases such reactions caused passengers to be thrown from their seats and injured crew. However, Haines states that a threat of a collision caused directly by UAP does not exist "because of the reported high degree of maneuverability shown by the UAP."

"While flying over Lake Michigan in 1981, TWA Captain Phil Schultz saw a "large, round, silver metal object" with dark portholes equally spaced around the circumference, which "descended into the atmosphere from above," according to his hand-written report. Schultz and his first officer braced themselves for a mid-air collision; the object suddenly made a high speed turn and departed."

"Veteran Japan Airlines 747 Captain Kenju Terauchi reported a spectacular, prolonged encounter over Alaska in 1986. "Most unexpectedly two space ships stopped in front of our face, shooting off lights," he said. "The inside cockpit shined brightly and I felt warm in the face." Despite the FAA determination that he and his crew were stable, competent and professional, he was grounded for speaking out."

"In 1997, a Swissair Boeing 747 over Long Island just missed a glowing white, cylindrical object speeding towards the plane. According to a FAA Civil Aviation Security Office memorandum, Pilot Philip Bobet said that "if the object was any lower, it may have hit the right wing."

"Ground systems operators have also been affected by UAP. "The element of surprise means a decrease in safety because it diverts the attention of air traffic controllers that should be focused on landing planes. That is a danger," says Jim McClenahen, a recently retired FAA air traffic control specialist and NARCAP technical advisor."

"Aviation Safety in America" does not attempt to explain the origin of these mysterious objects. But Haines writes that hundreds of reports, some dating back to the 1940's, "suggest that they [UAP] are associated with a very high degree of intelligence, deliberate flight control, and advanced energy management."

"In the 1950's, pilots and crew reported seeing flying discs, cigar-shaped craft with portholes, and gyrating lights, all with extraordinary technical capabilities. Documents show the unexplained objects were considered a national security concern. By order of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, commercial pilots were required to report sightings and the unauthorized release of a UFO report could cost them ten years in prison or a $10,000 fine."

"To keep this information from the public, officials ridiculed and debunked legitimate sightings, angering some pilots. According to the Newark Star Ledger in 1958, over fifty commercial pilots who had reported sightings, each with at least fifteen years of major airline experience, blasted the policy of censorship and denial as "bordering on the absolutely ridiculous."

"These pilots said they were inte
