Ok... more simple question - which parameter (and parameter value) is responsible for distinguishing between ET vehicle and unknown phenomenon?


The ciriteria I use is the same the military uses, but doesn't tell the public. The three simplest are:

* Performance Chracteristics (confirmed visually, on radar, and ELINT systems

* Lack of Sonic Booms despite supersonic flight

* Visual descriptions. For an example, saucer-shaped metallic flying vehicles

Tie the three together and what we have is an object that has been identified as a metallic flying saucer capable of supersonic speeds and not leave behind a sonic boom with performance charateristics that have been confirmed visually, on multiple ground-based and airborne radar and ELINT systems.

Now, compare what we have already, and what has just been identified above to determine if the supersonic flying saucer was ours or not.

The Air Force has made that determination more than once. ( Not ours).

Because that would be unfounded speculation. Most of the explanations offered are based on phenomena that have been verified with empirical proof. Where no clear explanation is available, then theories based on scientific research are put forward. If I were to stub my toe and developed a bruise on it I could claim that evil toe-hating fairies sprinkled magic dust on it to make it turn purple. I would be proven wrong in an instant because medical science has proof that the reason for the discoloration is due to broken capillaries under the skin, not because of fairy dust.

The same goes for aliens. There is no proof that aliens have ever visited earth. Until such time when empirical proof of ET comes forward they will remain in the same category as the toe-hating fairies.


That is hardly a fair analogy as there is a physical condition anyway, what i mean is in the event of say the dogon tribe (i wont go into that just look them up if u are not aware of them) that is a situation quoted as a hoax but without the consideration of anything extra terrestrial, or maybe cases like over the bermuda triangle. (and be aware of lack of flotsam an jetsam) possibly just accidents maybe not. The best scientists are those that are open minded after all if we all had a determination to insist something could not be then we would all KNOW the world is flat we would be SURE we are the centre of the universe. And as for no proof Is that not slightly naive? After all if our governments where noble venerable institutions (ha! as if) then here is one reason not to admit aliens have or are visiting earth______ Radio broadcast of war of the worlds, look that up and see what happened, and anyway there is proof .... and you will see it soon enough

Sorry if we went a bit astray, Hazz....I honestly don't see that there is anything that can currently be called evidence for ET as we can currently not exclude all other possibilities. Sure, there are some strange and unexplained sightings, but they remain just that - unexplained.


But, some of those objects were described by aircrews--military and commercial--that the UFOs they encountered were metallic saucer-shaped flying vehicles and radar systems tracked those vehicles at hypersonic speeds, which left no sonic boom behind.

QUOTE

Aircraft Encounter Over TEXAS

"In December 1952 Lieutenant Sid Coleman was Radar Officer aboard a B-29 bomber near Galveston. When watching the radarscope, Coleman observed two UFOs which he tracked at a speed in excess of 5.000 miles per hour, quite impossible for planes of the day. The captain of the plane, John Harter, suggested that Coleman recalibrate his set as the sighting was impossible but the sighting was immediately confirmed by the navigator on his radarscope. Eventually four UFOs were seen on the radar screen."

"From the plane, they were also able to make visual contact with the object, watching it as a blue-white streak moving fast near the bomber. Shortly after this, there was a repeat with several more objects whizzing past their plane. Crew members watched the UFOs perform maneuvers to avoid hitting the plane. In the end a larger object absorbed the smaller craft and fled at 9.000 miles per hour."





Question is: Do we have such vehicles capable of hypersonic flight and capable of hovering 200 miles above Earth, as scientist in New Mexico noted in their own document after observing the objects doing just that?

Sorry, I didn't mean to give the impression that my intention was to brush you off wink2.gif And, no, the map is not evidence. It has been touted as such, but it's creation is simply flawed (several times over). Betty drew it from memory from a map that she allegedly saw on the ET ship and it was described as astounding as the map fit the double star system Zeta Reticuli, and what made it even more impressive was that one of the stars in the map wasn't discovered before after the map was drawn. Two things really make the map irrelevant:

1) Distance measures. There are no distances indicated whatsoever on the map. Given the amount of stars visible from Earth one can draw almost anything with a limited amount of stars and find a match in the night sky.
2) Alien perspective. Since we must presume that Aliens didn't draw the map as seen from our perspective here on Earth, but from their own where ever that might be, the amount of star systems that would fit grows to an incredible large number, as now we have to consider any angle.

Thus, the map is really only a few interconnected dots on a piece of paper, that's all. She could probably have drawn a horse and found a match somewhere in the night sky wink2.gif

Cheers,
Badeskov



NOT 100% sure what u referring to but the lack of mapped stars does not nessacarily mean its false, unless of course the woman is an astronomer why woould she have noted everything and what do u mean that their perspective is different again says who we would have a map of our view and a new view if w were visiting elsewhere purely as a confirmation an navigation aid. Now also is the woman meant to be a memory magician i mean how many stars would satisfy you. The answer is you wont accept the possibility it could be real, if there had been a map of five whole galaxies with each star listed named an numbered in a new perspective cross referenced with our earth perspective you would say sorry too perfect must be a hoax so u see u have to choose to say it might be or to say no way it cant be an in never will be and then stop looking for proof and wait for it to fall in your back yard

CHAPTER ***III
UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS
DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS - USAF
UNITED STATES AIR FORCE ACADEMY

"...on 24 July 1957 Russian anti-aircraft batteries on the Kouril Islands opened fire on UFO's. Although all Soviet anti-aircraft batteries on the Islands were in action, no hits were made. The UFO's were luminous and moved very fast."

"We too have fired on UFO's. About ten o'clock one morning, a radar site near a fighter base picked up a UFO doing 700 mph. The UFO then slowed to 100 mph, and two F-86's were scrambled to intercept. Eventually one F-86 closed on the UFO at about 3,000 feet altitude. The UFO began to accelerate away but the pilot still managed to get within 500 yards of the target for a short period of time. It was definitely saucer-shaped."

"As the pilot pushed the F-86 at top speed, the UFO began to pull away. When the range reached 1,000 yards, the pilot armed his guns and fired in an attempt to down the saucer. He failed, and the UFO pulled away rapidly, vanishing in the distance."

TEXAS has had some very big UFO incidents over the years. It has been recently revealed that the pilot of an F-117 stealth fighter also confirmed the UFO in this incident and eventually, NORAD admitted that it tracked the object as well.


QUOTE
America West B-757 UFO Encounter

The next day, the controller made another check with NORAD, and he was told that they had indeed tracked another unknown target the night before that was at first stationary, but then accelerated and stopped again very rapidly. These quick darts were estimated at somewhere between 1,000 and 1,400 mph.

RB-47 UFO Encounter

"An Air Force RB-47, equipped with electronic countermeasures (ECM) gear and manned by six officers, was followed by an unidentified object for a distance of well over 700 mi. and for a time period of 1.5 hr., as it flew from Mississippi, through Louisiana and TEXAS and into Oklahoma.

The object was, at various times, seen visually by the cockpit crew as an intensely luminous light, followed by ground-radar and detected on ECM monitoring gear aboard the RB-47. Of special interest in this case are several instances of simultaneous appearances and disappearances on all three of those physically distinct "channels," and rapidity of maneuvers beyond the prior experience of the aircrew.

It would be nice if you had quoted me in the entirety. But I will re-iterate my question from this post:

QUOTE
Plain out wrong. You are making unsubstantiated conclusions. But let me see if I understand you correctly.

We are currently talking about the Belgian radar data you posted?! If I read your posts correct, you conclude that no weather (or atmospheric) phenomena whatsoever could be responsible because a 1969 report concluded that a 1952 UFO event couldn't have been caused by temperature inversions?!

I am sorry, but that is how I read it. If my interpretation is correct, would you kindly point me to the specific paragraph in said report that makes that conclusion (even regarding phenomena not yet discovered at that time).


So, can you tell me if my interpretation of your posts is correct?! I.e., that you mean that the data in a report from 1969 dealing with a specific UFO radar case and a specific weather phenomena can be extrapolated to all UFO radar cases and all atmospheric phenomena?! That is basically what I read from it.

But as going for advance technological data, you conveniently overlooked this contaning an example of such data, showing that it actually exists naturally and the summary of my post was:

QUOTE
Not only do such phenomena have erratic trajectories, move fast, have high acceleration capabilities and react to external stimuli, they can also be rectangular. Or have other geometric shapes. Sounds familiar?!


How about we start with that data!

When they are reluctant because of fear of any adverse reaction, it is easier to simply say; "unknown" and leave it at that, without admitting that it was ET. That way, they can sleep better at night wihtout explaining how they arrived at that conclusion in the first place.

But, there are those who are willing to testify under oath, that they are ET and say it publically.

The video is available if you have Real video. Also, an Iranian official went public already in regards to the 1976 Iranian UFO incident, as an extraterrestrial incident. That incident was also tracked by NORAD and our own intelligence services and even the DoD, had documents on that encounter that went all the way up to the White House.

The President of Brazil went public with documents after analysis confirmed that the flying saucer was authentic.

Also, I reviewed that link and scratching my head as to how is that suppose to explain metallic saucer-shaped vehicles with portholes, rotating beacon lights and visually confirmed as such, at which point, the vehicle proceeds to maneuver around an aircraft, sometimes for as long as an hour and a half before zooming off in a climb at hypersonic speed?

Are you implying that aircrews encountered plasmas and ball lightining when the descriptions of the encounter matched neither of those?!

Hello there is plenty of hard evidence that ufos exist starting by the BIBLE to ancient artifacts even pictures them in Egyptian art - many ancient cultures and religions testify of them also Christ told us it would be like in the days of Noah in the end times - in the days of Noah they were coming down already at that time to mate with human women which produced giants as offspring -today it is well known that they are abducting and using humans to create hybrids also millions around the world can testify that this is really happening and that they are real and they are here



That is not hard evidence. There is a major question as the validity of The Bible in the first place. There is no hard evidence in Egyptian art of alien contact. Maybe the people who drew pictures of ship-like things were painting kites or balloons they could make or some other culture. All the evidence you cite is not hard, it's inconclusive. Hard evidence is evidence that can't easily be disputed. Now when you see an alien craft on CNN and three little green men jump out, that's what I call hard evidence. But saying that some painting or religious text from thousands of years ago is hard evidence is not going to convince anyone except the most gullible.

It would have been nice if you hade quoted some more. Lets see what comes right afterwards:

QUOTE
Calling it the "greatest secret of the 20th century," the officials, who termed themselves "witnesses" of UFO-related events, described a series of military investigations they said they saw: crashes of alien spacecraft, bodies of alien beings, secret government documents, even James Bond-style "erasures" of people who knew too much.
"The individuals who have these sightings range from airline pilots and military pilots to police officers, some of the people your lives depend on, on a daily basis," retired Air Force Lt. Col. Charles Brown told a roomful of skeptical reporters.
"They are very reputable, dependable people," he said. "The field is filled with hoaxes and scams," said Dr. Steven Greer, director of the Disclosure Project, which had gathered the witnesses. "But it doesn't mean all of it is."

The 20 witnesses, he said, were a fraction of the 400 people who are willing to testify under oath and under congressional immunity about a secretive portion of the government they say has gone out of control.


So it is Dr. Greer and his sidekick, Air Force Lt. Col. Charles Brown, making this assertion. Did those 20 (and 400+) witnesses ever come forwards to prove that assertion? No, they didn't.

Thus, this statement is basically useless as evidence in this case.

Sonic Booms

Dryden assists Northrop in sonic boom research
By Gray Creech
Aerospace Projects Writer

In efforts to reduce problems created by supersonic flight over land, Dryden researchers recently played vital roles in the airborne and ground measurement of a shaped sonic boom.


http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Newsroom/X-Press/...3/new_boom.html



The Air Force has conducted faster-than-sound test flights since 1947, and today most Air Force fighter aircraft are capable of supersonic speed. Consequently, supersonic training flights that simulate actual combat conditions are necessary to ensure the success and survival of aircrews during wartime. However, Air Force procedures require that, whenever possible, flights be over open water, above 10,000 feet and no closer than 15 miles from shore. Supersonic operations over land must be conducted above 30,000 feet or, when below 30,000 feet, in specially designated areas approved by Headquarters United States Air Force, Washington, D.C., and the Federal Aviation

Who says this is not the result of their peculiar political and cultural baggage- trying to discredit the opposition, or buy off the support of others, who in their ignorance, would go for the hype and bait of "anti-U.S.", or "pro-Brazil" or some other version of political party manipulation or payoff.

Plasma phenomena has been shown to be able to behave just like your radar data indicates. Where is the scientific elimination of that?

I already did, and went into great detail as well, so apparently, you still do not understand the nature of what the data evidence represents, especially since the radars of both aircraft were in STT mode. In that regard, there were no radar glitches and the signature was not indicative of any natural phenomena.

I already did, and went into great detail as well, so apparently, you still do not understand the nature of what the data evidence represents, especially since the radars of both aircraft were in STT mode. In that regard, there were no radar glitches and the signature was not indicative of any natural phenomena.

So I made the claim and you refused to refute it.


Presuming that we are still talking about the Belgian Radar Data, on the contrary, I have shown you links to a report stating that plasma phenomena can indeed:

* Be detected by radar (and we are not talking hazy distributed returns, but surface returns just like an aricraft would exhibit
* Can move very fast
* Can accelerate and make sharp turns
* Can have geometrical shapes
* Reacts to outside stimuli

Can you please tell me specifically what piece of data tells us that it can't be an atmospheric plasma event?! A radar in STT mode has no bearing on this as a plasma phenomena would yield a surface reflection, thus the radar would see a very nice, localized, fast moving return from such. You can't filter it out either, so you would have something moving like an aircraft, just with capabilities far beyond ours.

That data I provided is not indicative of any natural phenomena and as I provided yesterday, an example of what I was talking about in regards to throwing a rubber ball against a concrete wall and then, throw a bowling ball against that wall and note the difference in sound.

Radar "ghost angels" are sometimes picked up on radar but the radar filters them out and besides, radar controllers can easily identify such phenomena on their scopes as noted by Harry Barnes, senior radar controller, and are just filtered out, so what you are proving to me is, you have no concept of what radar signatures regarding those of natural phenomena and those of solid objects are all about.

I have to stop you right there!! The F-16's radar is an all-weather, multi-mode radar so what does that tell you if the radar is operating in STT mode or even in TWS or ACM modes? Once again, the data does not reflect any signature of any natural phenomena so it is surprising to me as to why you think the object could have been the result of any atmospheric phenomena..

There is another point that proves the object was NOT the result of any natural phenomena, known, or unknown. Do you know what it is?

It wasn't dealing with any specific case, but the Washtington D.C. incidents was one of those that was explained away as the result of mirages caused by temperture inversion, but that was proven incorrect in the 1969 Air Force Study. I have more to add from what I have posted before.

QUOTE

Temperature Inversions

The official explanation for the objects seen on radars was 'temperature inversions'. UFOlogists believe that temperature inversions could have been the cause of the blips seen on radar, although highly unlikely. They also point out that this does nothing to explain the hundreds of visual sightings, both from the air and from the ground. In fact, it is apparent that Project Bluebook also discounted this explanation as the Washington DC Lights case was officially classified as 'unknown'.

Pilots also disagreed with the temperature inversions explanation and noted that they were perfectly aware of temperature inversions in the area that night (they are in fact quite common in the Washington DC area). They indicated that they never believed the lights they saw were temperature inversions and wonder why the explanation was so easily accepted by the public since it was common knowledge that the known temperature inversions were at 1000 feet and the objects they spotted were much higher, often in the 8,000 to 10,000 feet range.

Radar operators at Washington National Airport (using a Type ASR-1 radar) and Washington ARTC Center (using a MEW radar) were also skeptical of the temperature inversion theory. Radar controller Barnes stated: "Inversion blips are always recognized by experts, we are familiar with what weather conditions, flying birds, and [other] such things can cause on radar." The operators noted that temperature inversions on radar are typically weak returns and move at a slow ground speed. These blips were distinctly clear (reported as "a very good return" and "solid") and often traveled and unbelievable speeds.


Also, the objects gathered together and surrounded an F-94 that was sent to intercept them, and the frightened pilot called back to ground controllers on what to do?

Dr. James E. McDonald

Dr. James E. McDonald, a physicist at the University of Arizona and a prominent ufologist in the 1960's, did his own analysis of the Washington sightings. After interviewing four pilot eyewitnesses and five radar personnel, McDonald argued that the Air Force explanation was "physically impossible" (Clark, p.661). Harry Barnes told McDonald that the radar targets "were not shapeless blobs such as one gets from ground returns under anomalous propagation", and that he was certain the unknown radar blips were solid targets; Howard Cocklin agreed with Barnes

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1952_Washingt...C._UFO_incident


"Menkello, F. G. "Quantitative Aspects of Mirages," Report
No. 6112, Menkello is a first lieutenant, USAF, Environmental
Technical Applications Center. "It is easy to show that the 'air
lenses' and 'strong inversions' postulated by Gordon and Menzel,
among others, would need temperatures of several thousand degrees
Kelvin in order to cause the mirages attributed to them."



In the concluding portion of Carlson's article, he quotes well-known pro-UFOlogist Bruce Maccabee, a Navy physicist: "Maccabee believes there were solid objects in the air over Washington fifty years ago. 'And I think those solid objects were not made by us.'... Like KIass, Maccabee buttresses his argument with an official government report. It's called 'Quantitative Aspects of Mirages' and it was issued by the Air Force in 1969. 'They proved in their own study there wasn't enough temperature inversion to cause this effect,' he says. 'The Washington sightings cannot be explained as a radar mirage.'"





Dr. McDonald said it was impossible and the 1969 Air Force Study concurred.

On the contrary, but apparently you either didn't read what I wrote regarding your rubber/bowling ball example or simply didn't understand it, by all means of respect. So let me be very clear. A plasma when reflective will exhibit a surface reflection! A plasma will therefore act like a big metal shape with respect to radar. This is the important distinction to make and understand, as by far most weather phenomena (like thunder clouds and otherwise) exhibit distributed reflection throughout their volume, thus the hazy appearance on a radar scope and the ability to actually filter it out (by means of hardware or software).

Consequently, a plasma will be the equivalent of a metal shape (radar wise), can travel at hypersonic velocities (without a sonic boom), can have very high acceleration rates and have geometrical shapes. Can you tell me how to differentiat and filter that out?! And how can radar controllers identify something like that when the likelyhood of them actually ever encountering it is rather small?!

The F-16 radar (AN/APG-66) is indeed an all-weather, multi mode radar with a whole host of modes, none of which are exclude-phenomena-not-known-or-too-similar-to-an-aircraft. I honestly don't see what Single Target Track, Air Combat Maneuvering or Track While Scan has to do with this. These modes cannot eliminate what I described above, mainly just up the odds of tracking it.

Again, a reflective plasma does not give the same return as a rain cloud, but rather that of a solid object!

OK, now we are getting somewhere. So the above concludes that mirages or temperature inversions could not have been the cause of what was described in 1952 in Washington. Fine. How does this have any bearing whatsoever on the radar data you posted? Or my plasma explanation?

Once again, you have proven to me that you have no idea of the relationship between solid radar contacts and those of natural phenomena nor the specifics of air intercept radars. I can't make that fact any simpler than that!

Because the data does not reflect any signature of any natural phenomena and this was one of those radar/visual cases, so natural phenomena was already excluded by that very fact, which means that you were not familiar on what the data revealed nor of the incident in quesition.

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.

Emphasis mine. No. Reflective plasmas tend not to have a signature of normal natural phenomena. Which I have iterated over and over, but I guess to no avail.

Uhm, yes it does. Radar signatures are based on reflections from an illuminated target and how that reflection looks determines what we are looking at. And a distribued reflection (weather) is vastly different from a surface reflection (aircraft, or reflective plasma).

I think I see where you are going with this, so what I would like for you to do is to do some homework for me and I will give you something to go on so you can answer your own question.

The radar of the F-16, or other air intercept radars for that matter, is of the "lookdown" type, and what does that mean? They use ?????? technology to eliminate ground-based reflections or clutter if you will, to where they will only track an aircraft-type target and disregard all other reflective objects and since it is also an all-weather radar as well, weather-related reflections as well.

In fact, it can also disregard reflections of ocean waves to where only the beam return of an aircraft is only displayed. Remember, I mentioned before that the radar of a multi-mode system and I just told you what it can do, but I would like for you to tell us how it is done and why reflections that you and badeskov think is possilbe, does not happen.

Review the video where the lead F-16 pilot stated that he didn't believe that the object was weather-related and I never believed it either.

I am going to pose the same message as I had done to Stella since the radar system is of the all-weather "lookdown" type that eliminates clutter from other surfaces except aircraft. On sea modes, how does it eliminate refletive clutter from ocean waves and depicts only returns of aircraft?
.

Here is what I wrote to Stella and I pose the same to you.

So to prove that you are not here for the purpose of debunking, how about confirming what I have just said? To sum it up, pilots cannot afford to be distracted by weather-related phenomena on their radar scope when they are on a life and death mission in an airborne dogfight arena where a simple mistake of just two seconds can spell your doom.

And how exactly does the radar determine whether this reflection which reads like an aircraft is created by an actual craft or a phenomena which reflects the beams the same way as an aircraft?
