Book Review: Identified Flying Objects by Robert Loftin

When I picked up this book I wasn't expecting to get a little history of Ufology. I suppose that I should have known that was what I was going to get considering that the book was published in '68. The author touches on sightings as way back as 1860. Actually the book was chock full of sitings and this was the only aspect of the book that made it a little difficult to read. The format Date, Area, Sighting was used in about 30 some pages toward the end of the book. However the sightings listed are perfect examples of further research topics and the reason I am interested in the first place, so I really cannot complain.

One of the biggest points that Loftin makes through out the book repeatedly is "Why would the Air Force spend almost $500,000 of taxpayers' money on this investigation if they knew there was no such thing as a flying saucer or UFO?"

Overall, Loftin provides a very medial view while discussing both sides, public and government sides of the UFO topic.

Loftin passed away a few after the book was published. I took the liberty of adding him and this book to goodreads.com username: highwaycatcherRelated articles

Man Summons UFO

This is pretty neat, considering the new caster claims they set the time, place and day. I will totally believe this guy can summon a UFO if they could do this multiple times. He states that he has learned how to summon the UFOs from the Old Testament! I would be convinced if I witnessed it myself and not just advertised on the news.

Eric Davis, Physicist, Explains Why Scientists Won't Discuss Their UFO Interests

Google


Dr. Eric W. Davis, FBIS received his Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of Arizona in 1991. His fields of specialization include spacecraft exploration of the outer solar system, planetary sciences, relativity theory and cosmology, space mission engineering, and NASA Breakthrough Propulsion Physics.

He's aware of the public perception -- mostly from skeptics and debunkers -- that no legitimate scientists would ever touch the subject of UFOs.

"They're wrong, naive, stubborn, narrow-minded, afraid and fearful. It's a dirty word and a forbidden topic. Science is about open-minded inquiry. You shouldn't be laughing off people. You should show more deference and respect to them ... Scientists need to get back to using the scientific method to study things that are unknown and unusual, and the UFO subject is one of them."

Eric has authored papers and given recognized presentations on quantum vacuum (zero point energy), traversable wormholes, warp drive and antimatter propulsion physics. He has also been recognized by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics for outstanding contributions to national defense and space public policy, and received recognition from the State of Arizona Economic Conversion Council for contributions to commercial conversion of small-medium space and defense businesses in Arizona.

While speaking at the SSE event (see above) during the question and answer session, Dr. Davis was asked whether UFOs had “. . . guided [the] thinking and research” of such speculative matters as warp drive and traversable wormholes.



Dr. Davis responded, “Secretly yes and overtly no.” He explained that because “. . . UFOs don’t have credibility with mainstream academic researchers,” and because policy-makers and funding agencies “. . . don’t like the topic of UFOs,” some members of the group were forced to “. . . consider it under the table.”

...I think I love this guy!

UFO Files: Alien Abductions: The Evidence

Google

The Evidence? Hardly. I wasn't a huge fan of this video because evidence was something it did not provide. It's just another video to take you think.

I had heard of Fire in the Sky and the Walton Case before watching this video as well, and I have to say that my mind is still very undecided as to how much of their story I believe.

The topic of sleep paralysis angers me because who is to say that abduction phenomena cannot involve sleep paralysis? Who is to say that they are not one in the same? Who is to say that you actually have to leave your bed in order to be abducted? Personally I believe there are different levels of abduction, just like there are different levels of encounters. Perhaps dreaming is a form of abduction. Perhaps there is a transference of information throughout your REM sleep.

Just something to think about!

P.S. I am not sure why they chose to zoom in on Stanton Friedman's face like that...

UFOs over Washington D.C. 1952

"The 1952 Washington, D.C. UFO incident, also known as the Washington flap or the Washington National Airport Sightings, was a series of unidentified flying object reports from July 12 to July 29, 1952, over Washington, D.C. The most publicized sightings took place on consecutive weekends, July 19–20 and July 26–27."
-Wikipedia

I do not recall ever hearing about these sightings in all of my research and at the end of this film I can see why. It was kept more secret then the H-Bomb!

The Best UFO Footage of 2013: Video Compilation

Here are the clips that I found really interesting while I was watching this UFO sighting compilation video from 2013. There are a few ads throughout the video but you are able to quickly skip over them. It's worth it!

From about 6 minutes to 13 minutes of the video there are several lights sighted. Even though the eye witnesses possessed the inability to keep the camera still through out the 7 minutes it appears like a very genuine UFO sighting. Notice how the lights twinkle at first with no apparent pattern then the objects seemed to break about and the lights remain lit. The objects appear to huddle and hover near each other. They then follow each other out of the cameras view one by one until they meet up once again and there appears to be even more objects in the sky than had originally first appeared. Almost as if they join up to conspire and then break apart to fulfill their individual missions. It seems like this portion of the compilation is being filmed in a foreign Spanish speaking country. If anyone would like to offer a translation to this portion of the video in the comments I would be very grateful!

At 18:35 you see two orbs of light that seem to be stars at first but you will notice that they are slowly drifting away from each other despite the zooming in an out of the camera.

At 22:25 You see a UFO sighted in Brazil. I find this interesting because I have immediate relatives from Brazil and also because I have not seen a sighting of this kind before. The object looks like a ferris wheel! From what little Portuguese I do understand there were different videos of the object from different perspectives! That means that there were several eye witnesses of the object turning in the sky.

At 23:49 you see what look like birds in the sky over Mexico but after watching their formation and flight patterns it is not hard to see that they truly are unidentified flying objects. They almost move like kites in the air. They all see to have the same shape and color patterns and I feel like you can almost see what you could describe as 3 circular lights in a triangular pattern as you watch them turn and maneuver in sync with each other.

30:23 This sighting strikes a little close to home since I live in the Florida city mentioned in the news segment. I had never seen this segment before as I do not watch the local news. I have had my own sightings in the area myself but I don't have any hard evidence as I do not have a video camera or did not have my DSLR on me at the time. I know that there have been other sightings in the area before and I actually find them comforting because it means that I am not the only one. It also brings me great joy that I am not the only person that keeps her eyes on the sky! The Lee County are is actually mentioned twice in this video.

UFO FRESNO strange red blinking light and green light!

After reviewing this video I believe that due to it's horizontal flight pattern and consistent speed the object maintains that it is a plane. Red and green lights are very common on man made aircraft, however the light patterns are not of that in which I have seen before! Also if you read the comments on You Tube the viewers say that there was more than one object in the sky and they were like objects. Some of the witnesses say there was no sound and others say that there was a sound coming from the craft. There being more than one object in the sky leaves me a skeptic on this specific UFO sighting. If there was more than one object and both objects follow the same flight pattern or seem to follow one another draws my curiousity. Watch this video and tell me what you think!

UFO FRESNO strange red blinking light and green light! 8:20pm 11/20/12 Craft was heading northwest from southeast. About 5 thousand feet, appeared to have no sound. Camera sony trv-103 about 20 times zoom. Clear calm night.
