O.K., but unfortunately Burish's story works without any usual UFO sighting. This would be an installation of hardware hightech in undergroud labs on this planet. It is no overflight.
And therefore the difficult question rises of how credible this Burish story is. Just have a look at www.projectcamelot.org
Look for "Dan Burish and Stargates" - three parts.


Thanks!

When it comes to single witness testimony, I like to have viable supporting evidence and verifiable documentation.

Citizens... saying they had seen strange objects in the sky.



UFOs exist. They are objects that fly and are not identified. Nothing more, nothing less.

Hyper-religious belief that UFOs are craft built and controlled by ET is a fantasy, as fully evidenced by how you build your religion from such non-evidence as this document.

Did my hypothesis miss, sky? What was the reaction to and result of the UFO sighting you reported? Have you had other sightings that you reported? What resulted from those reports? Is there any impartial record of your report(s) and the fallout from them?

Coming to terms with reality, my friend, can be very difficult especially after all these years.

In many cases, the UFOs were identified by highly trained and experienced flight crews with many years of flying time, as "spaceships" or "flying saucers" and radar and other means were used to verify their encounters. The trackings on those objects have confirmed that the objects were those of intelligently controlled crafts and the specifics of their maneuvering capabilities exclude all aircraft.

In the Bariloche UFO encounter, the UFO was identified as a "flying saucer."

QUOTE


Bariloche Flying Saucer

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 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.

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 ".

________________________________________________________________________

Bariloche :
On July 31, 1995, a UFO prevented two planes from landing at San Carlos de Bariloche airport (1800 km S-W of Buenos Aires). The first plane was a Boeing 727 from Aérolinas Argentinas (flight 674) with 102 passengers et 3 crew members on board. The second was a plane from the Argentine " Guardia Civil " with 7 persons (including the pilot) on board.

The pilot of flight 674, while preparing to land, had to execute a desperate escape maneuver to avoid colliding with an UFO. During the 15 minutes that lasted the phenomenon, the UFO followed a flight path parallel to that of the Boeing, ca. 100 meter away. Almost all passengers of flight 674 supposedly saw the phenomenon. However, the air company refused to release a list of their names.

http://ufologie.net/press/courrierdelouest3aug1995.htm


The Bariloche incident was mentioned in the COMETA Report as well.

http://www.ufocasebook.com/cometamain.html

The reason why I apply 'ET' is some case files is because I already know that we don't have such technology that has been demonstrated by those UFOs, otherwise, we would be using such advanced technology for everyday air travel at hypersonic speeds and not worry about sonic booms.

Were you aware of what the highly bias Colorado Study wrote in its report about the 1956 Lakenheath UFO incident? When I said that science has verified UFO case files, you should have followed up on what I was saying, because you would have found just how true it was.




And, up to 1/3 of the Colorado Study's UFO case files remain unexplained to this very day because there are no earthy explanations..

First a study is not scientific proof, its a few people that form a think tank and make a range of hypothesis, some mundane, some extraordinary. nor is it really anything at all. Second 52 years old? Can we not use such archaic information? Once again there is no smoking gun, because there is no Gun!! You ever ask yourself why every picture of UFO's or video's of UFO's is always blurry distorted or just poor quality? Because if it was clear, you'd see that it was something completely mundane, and not some supernatural voodoo air craft from mars! The quasi-science that you post here is, in my opinion, quite dangerous because it gives the opposite direction of truth through the guise of science, where in reality it is anything but science. And is anything but evidence or proof.

I have never seen a photo that wasn't either blurry or low quality, or a hoax or fake. There are some real talented hoaxers out there but there are also some really gullible people too. And trust me I've seen a TON of photos and videos. I used to be a rabid believer like most here, but thank god common sense got a hold of me.

Well, you have not seen many photos Im sorry, but there are photos that show craft that are clear, but the problem is, are they real or fake. Its so easy to fake movies and photos these days, but that does not mean that when a photo or movie crops up that is clear, it does not mean its fake, or real, but clear photos and movies are out there. I am a huge believer in unexplained ufos, but that does not mean i believe they are ET, but there is more than enough evidence that some ufo's are unexplained, and need further investigation.

I have to say this too. It is common sense that makes me believe what i believe.

That's you creating a strawman defense. This is the same as your "They ask for [valid, verifiable] scientific evidence, and I present [flawed, outdated, innaccurate, anecdotal, irrelevant, or unverifiable information that I claim is] scientific evidence, but the skeptics won't buy it" argument.


Am I not going to get an answer to my questions about what happened after you reported your sighting in Vietnam? What about the sighting itself? What do you recall of that? Just let me know if I should drop the subject, but I really am curious.

Are all these credible high ranking fine people with top secret clearance crazy or lying!?

I dont know.

So? Maybe, maybe not.

Have you ever seen one jot of proof that any of whats been sighted, reported, filmed, or photographed has ever, in any way, been shown to be alien. I do not deny that some things might be alien. Im all for that. What I do deny is that there has been any proof of it.

You see, I do not deal in belief. I deal in knowledge. There is a vast difference between the two. You may believe all you want to. But knowledge requires a higher standard than that which propels belief.

There is no reason to get upset about it. What needs to be understood is the burden of proof that science and its method requires.

As believers begin to build the case about UFO = Aliens, the foundation of this is built on hear say, speculations, theories, guess work, assumptions, beliefs and emotions.

But there are no real scientific evidence or Facts.Until we can prove 100% that these are not earth based ships - we are guessing. So, what it all comes down to is EVIDENCE..!!!

Were is it!?

No BS, I want the undisputed hard scientific proof that there is other life in the universe...!!

****Skyeagle.....Dont post any of the old stuff, please!!!


sorry, i just have to say that i believe in knowledge too and i think that real clever knowledge goes hand in hand with the belief! They say that ignorance is bliss, and i find this to be very true!

I have questioned and sought answers to everthing biological and scientific and spiritual and the knowledge of the one went hand in hand with the other!

they also say that genius is closest to madness, because when one learns too much, they sometimes see the real truth.... and quite frankly aliens, different kinds of aircraft, i mean come on, it's not even that ridiculous is it! there's a big old sky out there and there is more balls spinning in the air than ours!

Sorry, I didn't read the report you posted as I was just skimming while I take a little break from the joys of life here. With your track record, though, (read that as: lack of credibility,) I wouldn't expect others to put much effort into it either.

Also, I will take what was lacking in your response as meaning, "No, I will not recount my UFO experience in Vietnam or the aftermath." I strongly suspect I know why you made that choice.


Thank you for your patience with me. Carry on.

How can this be, you ask, well first of all we know were it is, even though its REALLY far away. We know were Pluto is going to be in space at a given time....So NASA sent the New Horizon probe to check it out? New Horizons is still too far from Pluto for LORRI, Long-Range Reconnaissance Imager, to resolve any details on Plutos surface – that wont happen until summer 2014, approximately one year before closest approach.

Doesn't matter Hazzard. I think you know better than most of us, that he's a debunker. And, as he claims skeptical debunkers do, he's not interested in the truth, as much as he's consumed with destroying the arguments of those he percieves to be p*ssing on his church's altar.

This is not so much a discourse for the truth, but one designed to attack those more empowered and autonomous, and ultimately to bring down the 'establishment'. I remember seeing somewhere a comment to the effect that those of skyeagle's vintage comes from a time that complete distrust of the government was par for the course...

When can we expect airborne and ground-based radar data on Pluto that we have now for UFOs? How about ELINT data on Pluto that we now have on UFOs? When can we can expect physical trace evidence from Pluto that we now have from UFO landing sites? When can people expect to see Pluto close-up with their own eyes that millions have been doing over the centuries in regards to flying saucers and objects of other shapes? When can we expect Pluto to fly along side of aircraft that UFOs have been doing for decades?

In the mean time you can review photos of UFOs that are clear enough to see that they are not conventional aircraft.

You folks are trying to use logic and reason to convince someone to whom logic and reason are foreign to the safe, warm personal reality he has constructed. Sky appears to have some pretty serious problems, and continuing this "argument" is not helping his state any. Be warned: When his posts start to be punctuated with words in all-caps, things will slide downhill quickly. That step comes soon after ridiculing irrelevent misstatements in order to obfuscate the point, and self-aggrandizement as a replacement for authoritative pronouncement.

Actually, I am implying that physical evidence on hand is not required to prove anything.

The skeptics demand direct physical evidence before they will believe anything, and I say that direct physical evidence is not required, but they come back and say that physical evidence is required, so I respond by saying, if that is the case, then where's the physical evidence on Pluto?

So using their skeptical logic, because they can't produce any physical piece of Pluto, it therefore does not exist.

QUOTE
Solid proof. With a real scientists.


To let you know, some of the folks who were tracking flying saucers at hypersonic speeds were scientist, and they even documented their findings.

QUOTE
How Scientist Tracked A Flying Saucer

Naval Commander Robert B. McLaughlin, head of the Naval missile program at White Sands (who unequivocally stated that the flying saucers being spotted by White Sands personnel, including himself, were not only real but extraterrestrial in origin). Moore's sighting is also found in a number of government documents, including those of the CIA, whose scientists were very impressed by it.

"In its January issue TRUE said that the flying saucers are real and interplanetary. Its story was widely supported by the nation's press and radio. TRUE's findings are here confirmed by Commander McLaughlin, a rocket expert at White Sands Proving Ground, who worked independently of this magazine's investigation. He reveals how a troup of Navy men and scientists tracked a flying disk with a precision instrument and tells of flights he and others witnessed."

"General Mills/Mogul balloon expert Charles B. Moore, while tracking a test balloon with a theodolite, made important UFO sighting with 4 Navy technicians, (Akers, Davidson, Fitzsimmons, Moorman). After tracking it across the sky, the whitish-silver, elliptical object, roughly 100 by 40 feet, disappeared in a sharp climb, calculated at 18,000 to 25,000 mph [5-7 miles/sec] , at an altitude estimated at 60 miles. At one point the UFO climbed about 25 miles in only 10 sec [or about 80 G's acceleration!!."

1. The Saucer, at the time it was first sighted, had been going at an extremely slow speed, perhaps 1 mile per second.

2. Despite the relative slowness, I could not determine its shape, although I judged it was similar in size to Saucer No. 1 because it was visible at an altitude above 25 miles.

3. It accelerated to a speed far in excess of anything obtainable with present day rocket motors.

4. The object passed within 5 degrees of the sun and was still visible to the naked eye. This would hardly have been true if the the object had been a meteor.

5. Again, there was no evidence of a propulsion system.

Sky, you're smart enough to know the holes in this point you made, and the illogic you had to employ to make it. I know you are. I believe that somewhere in you, you still have the capability for rational thought. I don't have to believe that UFOs are ET's version of a Volkswagen Beetle to know that you are articulate, and a skilled gatherer and recaller of data.

To paraphrase from one of my earlier posts: You may be right. One day, we may have proof. But your whimsical methodology has destroyed your credibility, possibly beyond repair.

I don't expect you to understand any of this any more than I can expect our family dog, friendly and loveable as she is, to understand ethics. And this conversation is just about as useful as me trying to explain ethics to her.

But I would still like to know what happened in Vietnam. If you won't tell, do you have any reliable, impartial web links where I can get more information?

Well, I would have to say that the picture bears a striking resemblance to a "clay pigeon" that has just been released, and the sling arm (dont know if it is because I cannot scale it) on the extreme right of the photo looks very like a "Clay Pigeon" sling, especially with the "knobbly" retainer on the end. Do you know if there is just the one picture, or is there a sequence or film of the event??

The Video however was really intriguing, and I cannot even begin to think of any source that might be able to reproduce that!!

What difference does that make? Are there any crystal-clear photos of the planet Pluto? This photo is clear enough to see that it isn't a B-29

Soon!!! What does that mean? Will it include direct physical evidence as well?

When can we expect airborne and ground-based radar data on Pluto that we have now for UFOs? How about ELINT data on Pluto that we now have on UFOs? When can we can expect physical trace evidence from Pluto that we now have from UFO landing sites? When can people expect to see Pluto close-up with their own eyes that millions have been doing over the centuries in regards to flying saucers and objects of other shapes? When can we expect Pluto to fly along side of aircraft that UFOs have been doing for decades?

In the mean time you can review photos of UFOs that are clear enough to see that they are not conventional aircraft.

I find these "ageist" comments very objectionable, it pre-supposes that those of us over a "certain age" have nothing worthwhile to contribute. Yet I would say to those of you that are still wet behind the years, have considerably less to contribute. Your experiences are vastly sub-ordinate, your grasp of real social - interraction, and networking outside of your favourite bars, and very small group of friends tends to colour your perceptions, and possibly, even your autonomous ability to think outside the box. So it is, and so it has always been, the younger generation always believes it holdsALL of the answers.

Well, I have also stated that there were times when I disagreed with UFOlogist.

After all, while they were still concentrating on Charles Moore's false Mogul balloon trajectory, I was busy saying that Moore's false trajectory was moot because there were no such flight to begin with. I came to that conclusion when I could not find any records of any such flight, so years later, here come the UFOlogist and even some skeptics, jumping on my bandwagon, that no such flight took place. That is a clue that I tend to go further than even UFOlogist.

You see, I tend to go beyond even where UFOlogist are willing to go, but eventually, they soon discover why I have gone to such great lengths, and Project Mogul is just one example of a few.

Another are the MJ-12 documents and the disagreements I had with UFOlogist in Europe on the Belgian UFO incidents. Some have said that it was an American F-117, while others said that it was another type of secret aircraft. Now, it has been determined that those UFOlogist were wrong on both counts, but I told them why there were wrong in the first place! It took an official declaration from the United States to the Belgian government to set the record straight. Besides, the military doesn't conduct test flight in such a reckless manner anyway.

I am not really bragging, but I have already posted several examples for other websties that proved my facts were right on the money! I guess you missed Tim Printy's admission and why he was forced to make a correction on his website.

If you have been following up on things, you would have found where I provided other examples where corrections were made as well, so it has nothing to do with what is in my own mind, but those of facts, and nothing less.

Since you missed the fireworks, and I don't know how as I have posted this before, I am presenting you with the websites on what transpired.

Yes, he did deliver, and in fact, some of those cases were found to not have eartlhy explanations.

To further add, my own base at Hill AFB was involved in one of the cases that was presented at the Disclosure Project. I fact, the investigation into that particular incident were documented by the Boeing Aircraft company and other government contrators, but it seems that you were unaware of those facts.

Even the FAA revealed that in another case presented at the Disclosure Project, documents and data tapes sent to Washington D. C. for analysis have proven that JAL incident did in fact, involved UFOs and that one UFO was in fact, gigantic, and it seems that you were unaware of those facts as well.

The pilot said that the saucer-shaped UFO was larger than two aircraft carriers and weeks later, other aircrews, including those of the Air Force, have confirmed their encounters with a simiilar UFO that was larger than ships in the general area.

Other case files presented by the Disclosure Project have been verified as well and in some cases, the documents are available under the FOIA.

You see, it pays to do your homework. So no, I am not bragging at all, just presenting reality for what it is!

UFO Photos Investigation

"It is concluded that by careful consideration of the parameters involved in the case of recognizable objects in the photographs, distances can be measured within a factor-four error ... If such good measure could be made for the UFO, we could distinguish between a distant extraordinary object and a hypothetical small, close model."

Hartmann then noted that his photometric measurements indicated that the UFO was intrinsically brighter than the metallic tank and the white painted surface of the house, consistent with the Trent's description that it was a shiny object. Further, the shadowed surface of the UFO was much brighter than the shadowed region of the water tank, which was best explained by a distant object being illuminated by scattered light from the environment.

In his conclusion, Hartmann reiterated this, stressing that all the factors he had investigated, both photographic and testimonial, were consistent with the claim that "an extraordinary flying object, silvery, metallic, disc-shaped, tens of metres in diameter, and evidently artificial, flew within sight of [the] two witnesses."


Further Investigation

"Dr. Bruce Maccabee, an optical physicist, analyzed the original negatives and found no support for Sheaffer's time lag claim. He also repeated Hartmann's calculations in much greater detail, including corrections for lens grease and obtained about the same results as Hartmann originally did."

"(One other important aspect of Sheaffer's dirty lens hypothesis is that it fails to explain why it didn't affect all objects in the photos, and not just the UFO. All the nearby objects in the photo were all sharp with high contrast, but the objects in the distance such as a barn, a house, trees, and hills (and the UFO), were of low contrast, exactly as would be expected from absorption and scattering of light.) Maccabee calculated the UFO to be over 1 kilometre away, and about 30 meters in diameter and 4 meters thick."

Utter rubbish, Sky. We've been over this many times already. We have just as much evidence for the existence of Pluto as we have for our sun. We know Pluto exists because it can be observed and measured at will. Its position is known with extreme accuracy and can be reliably predicted years in advance. Its properties have been measured many, many times and these observations can be repeated and verified by anyone with the proper equipment at any time they wish.

Scientific proof is not about holding a piece of something in your hand. It's about experimental results and observations that can be repeated and independently verified by other researchers. Can I touch the sun? No, but that doesn't prevent me from knowing with absolute certainty the time at which it will rise tomorrow morning. Can I grab a radio wave out of the air and hold it in my hand? Of course not, but I can easily prove that my favorite station is broadcasting by simply turning on my car radio.

I can tell you exactly where Pluto is at any given time and you can observe it, measure it with any instrument you wish, and verify the results against the current scientific database. If you really want to hold a piece of Pluto in your hand, then all you need to do is build a ship and fly there. It's a known location. Now, please tell me where I can find an extraterrestrial spacecraft tomorrow at 20:00 UTC. I want to know exactly where it will appear, how fast it will be moving, its overall size & shape, and precisely which measurable characteristics uniquely identify it as an alien spacecraft.

If you can't do this, then please stop claiming that there is as much evidence for the existence of extraterrestrial spacecraft as there is for Pluto.

You, and other skeptics are totally, and I do mean totally, missing the point!! I am not implying that Pluto does not exist.

If you take at look back into history, you will find skeptics demanding direct physical evidence on hand to prove the existence of UFOs, while dismissing the data evidence in the same breath. I have stated that physical evidence on hand would be nice, but is not required.

If that were the case, then that would be a little problem because we don't have any direct physical evidence on Pluto that we can hold in our hands. I hope that straignten things out a bit.

So in the absence of direct physical evidence, it then comes down to the data. However, we have eyewitness accounts that is supported by the data--that in reference to UFOs. In addition, we have physical trace evidence taken from UFO landing sites.

"...can tell you exactly where Pluto is at any given time and you can observe it, measure it with any instrument you wish, and verify the results against the current scientific database.


And, there is data on UFOs that can be examined time and again. Data that we don't have on Pluto.

I can't do that anymore than I can tell you when the B-2 bomber will overfly Washington D.C. or the so-called "Aurora" will overfly Texas. I can't even tell you when a Cherokee 140 will overly San Francisco, CA., but does that mean it doesn't exist? Of course not! I hope you see the fallacy of your argument in that respect and you know, I can take it down even further!

In fact, during the time the CIA's A-12 was in its test stage, no one could provide any information on where that aircraft would appear overhead next, yet the aircraft did exist, and it was faster and flew higher than the SR-71.

That goes beyond silliness. Analysis has failed to show the existence of air and microbes in the photograph also. How do you account for that?

Analysis can only detect what the camera detected. Camera and film quality from 1950 are de facto hindrances to using photographic evidence from that era as proof of anything. I believe there were strings involved, and my proof of this theory is below.

This image is a merge of Plate 23 and Plate 24 from the Condon report. I used the two wires across the top of the plates as my references. The only 2 things I did to correct the images for perspective were:

1. Zoomed Plate 24 so that the wires across the top were the same size and reference points on them matched with Plate 23.
2. Rotated Plate 23 so that the wires lined up, resulting in a very close approximation of how the two shots would have appeared if they had been taken from the same vantage point. The image in Plate 23 was taken from a point to the right and back from where the photo in Plate 24 was taken.

To create the red lines, I simply rotated the image the base of one of the "objects" was horizontal, and drew a perpendicular line vertically from it. I repeated this for the second "object." Notice that the perpendicular lines converge exactly on the lower line.

A rational examiner will also note that the smallest details we can make out in the photographs are well above the width of a piece of twine. In fact, there are many, many vertical artifacts in the picture that exceed this width. Whether these are artifacts from the photographic process, development process, or the age of the photos, I don't know, but they all combine to make the photos less definitive than a mindless believer may wish them to be.

Very, very interesting indeed.

And here I am, a lowly amateur with a spare 5 minutes, offering a simple explanation and following it with a demonstration.
