Ample Evidence for the Existence of UFOs

Ample Evidence

We learn the most about the aliens and their spacecraft from broad daylight encounters, at close range, by multiple witnesses, of landed space-craft with aliens around. There are thousands of such cases, from all periods of the UFO era, and from all over the world. The details of such cases rule out all alternatives to "interstellar spacecraft" as interpretations of the phenomena. They cannot be hallucinations because of the multiple witnesses. They cannot be ordinary aerial phenomena, just mis-identified, because they are seen on the ground. We know they are not some super-secret human projects, because the aliens are clearly non-human. And the surprising fact that the UFO surprisingly have no rockets or visible means of propulsion and the fact that all the aliens are unexpectedly humanoid means the data is reproducible.

These are the kinds of observations described in Charles Bowen's 1969 book The Humanoids, one of the classics of the field. This all important book can be obtained from The Flying Saucer Review, Snodland, Kent, ME6 5HJ, U.K. Each individual observation is independent from all others. Between 1947 and 1969, when these observations were made, there were no programs like "Encounters" or "Sightings" on TV to give a sympathetic treatment to UFO experience. The media were united with the authorities and academia in laughing off such reports. And the aliens in science fiction (then and now) were nothing like the real aliens. The fictional aliens are aggressive non-humanoid BEMs (Bug-Eyed Monsters) for the most part, like those in the movie "Aliens," or "Independence Day." Nor does the Starship Enterprise in any way resemble real space-craft. Figments of imagination tend to resemble those other figments of imagination found on TV or in movies and books.

Each list in The Humanoids is produced by a different scholar, and presents observations from a particular year or a particular place. Their most remarkable discovery, as indicated by the title, is that all of our visitors are humanoid. By cross-referencing space-craft and aliens, we can make a rough estimate of the number of species visiting us, which I would put at 20-30 with a factor of two margin of error.

But are the aliens space-travelers? Many of my friends in the UFO field don't think so, preferring to regard them as interdimensional travelers, or even time travelers, because that is part of the disinformation spread by the aliens themselves. Why not? Why couldn't this be true? Because there is absolutely no evidence of "interdimensional" anything, much less "interdimensional travelers." And as Stephen Hawking has pointed out, if time travel were possible, we would be overrun by tourists from the future. Yet not a single credible case of a time traveler has ever been reported. In any case, these species are quite varied. Surely they could not all be from our own future. It took a special set of circumstances for evolution on Earth to produce an intelligent species, and if we were to disappear, it might be hundreds of millions of years before similar circumstances arose again. It might be never. Why couldn't there be "interdimensional travel?" Occam's razor (really Newton's razor). It is unsupported speculation. It is an untestable alternative. We know that there are other planetary systems distant from us in space. For many reasons, scientists think it likely that there are other planets with life. The UFO phenomenon itself shows us that evolution proceeds in much the same way everywhere (quite a surprise to the SETI physicists, should they ever read this book). Nearly every scientist believes there is ET out there somewhere. The only dispute is how many, how close, and how do they get here, if they do. Of course, I have shown that there is ample evidence that many species of ET do get to Earth, so the only remaining question is how?

Very close contact sometimes took place. In number 188 from Vallee's list, a citizen got into a wrestling match with a furry humanoid, about thirty-five pounds in weight, with claws and glowing eyes. Neither were harmed, but this incident and many others show that the aliens are not apparitions. They are flesh and blood, as real and solid as ourselves.

Their obvious unwillingness to make official contact puzzled the early investigators such as Charles Bowen. UFOs do not land on the White House lawn, or on Devil's Tower in Wyoming, and say "Take me to your leader." Why not? It is easy to understand if they are anthropologists rather than missionaries, traders, or conquistadors. Human anthropologists try not to change the culture of the primitive tribes they study, and aliens seem to follow the same rule. Some come in disguise, not very believable but still good enough to fool the "extraordinarily stupid." All the species that have visited us have confined their landings to lightly populated rural locations. Another kind of disguise is provided by disinformation. When very close contact takes place, when UFO aliens give messages to humans, such as those in Randolph Winters The Pleiadian Mission, the material given to humans is cleverly constructed disinformation, designed to fit into popular mythologies, such as a belief in Atlantis, but filled with absurdities which will surely discredit this material with scientists.

How do we know they can jump light-years in an instant? Because that is the only practical method of interstellar travel. An alien species which could pass for human told a Swiss farmer that it took them seven hours to travel to the Pleiades. Half that time was spent levitating themselves into deep space, where they made an instantaneous jump of nearly 400 light-years, and then spent another 3.5 hours entering the star system. This alien also told Billy Meier many outrageous lies. But the alien might have told the truth here, knowing we have no way of verifying or refuting such a statement.

The history of the UFO phenomenon provides some evidence for instantaneous jumps over light-years. During WW II, both German and Allied night pilots were disturbed by what the English called "foo fighters," which were small glowing metallic spheres which sometimes accompanied night flights, darting towards the flight or away from it. Both German and Allied flyers thought this was some secret weapon invented by the other, even though the "foo fighters" never did any damage. "Foo Fighters" is now the name of a rock group.

UFO sightings only became common after 1947, about two years after the first explosions of nuclear weapons on Earth. I do not think this is a coincidence. I suggest that the "foo fighters" went back to their home worlds and reported that Earth had entered a new and interesting phase. This fact spread along the "grapevine" to the 20 or 30 other space-traveling species in our neighborhood of the galaxy. It has been estimated that there are 50 million civilizations in this galaxy, so the ones that visit us are likely all from stars nearby that we can see in the night time sky with a pair of binoculars.

We became interesting when we invented nuclear weapons, but not a world government or any way to control their use. Scientific conferences were held. Expeditions were planned. They were probably curious to see if we would self-destruct, which must be a common danger for intelligent species. Since it takes time to organize local conferences and scientific expeditions, for them to start arriving two years into our nuclear age is only possible if they can jump light-years.

The only phenomenon which in any way resembles the jumping of light-years is teleportation, an unconscious feature of many poltergeist cases (see the chapter "Seven Reproducible Facts"). When an object reappears after teleportation, it flutters down like a leaf, as if it were nearly weightless, and only gradually regains its normal weight.

The same "falling leaf" phenomenon has been observed of flying saucers (see Vallee's case 133). This phenomenon has not been reported in the popular press. The "falling leaf" behavior may even account for the flying saucer's shape. It might make them more controllable in an atmosphere just after teleportation, before they can resume normal mass.

Also, no power supply or propulsion mechanism has been found in crashed UFOs. Oh yes, UFOs have crashed. One crashed in 1947 near the top secret 509th bomber group, stationed at Roswell, New Mexico, the only bomber group in the world capable of delivering nuclear weapons at that time. Most witnesses say it crashed during a violent thunderstorm on July 4, although some say July 2 or July 3.

For many decades, the subject of UFOs was classified above top secret, two points higher than the H-bomb, and had the highest classification of any topic. Witnesses were threatened with their lives.

The chief witnesses today were mere children at the time, and details about these crashes have only come out since about 1985, in part due to the Freedom of Information Act, and in part due to the declassification of much of the material. (See Crash At Corona, by Friedman and Berliner, Paragon House: New York, 1992.) The UFO was one of the crescent shaped types. It showed signs of information processing equipment, using optical fiber, but no sign of power plant or propulsion.

What happened to those aliens, and the crashed spacecraft? According to Colonel Philip J. Corso, (Ret), who had control over part of the materials between 1961 and 1963, the one live alien was shot dead when he tried to run away. Not very hospitable. The dead aliens were autopsied. No DNA analysis was made, because DNA hadn't been discovered in 1947. The craft and the pieces were spread around to various military R&D groups. No one has ever been able to figure out what made the craft fly, nor where it obtained the energy for flight. But back-engineering the crash debris had something to do with the invention of the laser, optical fiber, the transistor, the integrated chip, Kevlar bullet proof vests and directed particle beam weapons, according to Corso. (See The Day After Roswell). An alien spacecraft was shot down in 1974 over Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany, according to Corso, perhaps by one of these particle beam weapons.

My conclusion is that UFOs not only exist, they are one of the best documented facts in human history.

Bowen's book may be the most important single classic book in the field. But there are others, most notably Frank Edwards Flying Saucers --- Serious Business, which is the best sources for the early sightings after 1947, well-documented sightings from the late forties, fifties and early sixties. Of course, there are countless books on UFOs, but I prefer the older classics, since they date from a time when the media and fiction were nothing at all like the reality. This tends to rule out figments of the imagination. Actually, we know quite a bit about the aliens.
