UFO And ufologist
1. OBJECTS
UFO is an acronym English Unidentified Flying Object, which means "flying objects identifiers," but it is not always the object, at present, to describe these sudden appearances of heaven, who do not have a plausible explanation, is preferred definitions such as' Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena " or similar.
The history of the UFO starts June 24, 1947 with the story of an unknown American businessman who reported on his return from a trip on his private plane, he saw through the window, a series of bright objects, disc-shaped, jumping in the air that moved as if they were pebbles thrown on the water. Since then he started talking about 'Flying saucers', which became the UFO research community when he decided to deal with this topic.
But what are really UFOs? Before responding should explain how these sightings occur and by whom they are made. So should we know that the identification of UFOs has never been done by experts, ie people trained by the observation of celestial phenomena, but by ordinary people. Those who tell of having seen UFOs are always people who happen to see things never seen before and with whom they have no familiarity. Furthermore, it is usually those who believe in the presence of extraterrestrials and show available to tell, in great detail and sometimes amplifies feelings and moods that usually lasted only a few seconds.
UFO sightings around the world have now passed the million mark, and objectively look a bit 'too much to be all true. But as someone starting from the same state the opposite, namely that a million would be too many sightings to be all fake. In fact, that some extraterrestrial can happen to us here is a fact considered acceptable from a scientific point of view, but that there are alien vehicles that roam over our heads without tools permanently dedicated to observation of the sky ever reported nothing suspicious appears objectively unlikely. In fact, many of these UFO sightings have been traced to ordinary objects like planets, bright stars, airplanes, birds, satellites, etc.. and therefore, in many cases, you can not talk any more about UFOs, but the IFO (Identified Flying Object), that is, items identified.
identification, based on the stories of people who claimed to have witnessed the phenomenon is brought about by experts from various fields of human activity such as astronomers, naturalists or military personnel to air defense. Among them many inspect the sky day and night by using sophisticated tools that are able to report any suspicious object or vehicle that appears, and never disclosed the presence of uncertain situations. An interesting fact is that until recently was not even from China received no reports of unusual phenomena or unusual sightings, according to some scholars that would be due to the fact that in the past in that country, the press and other media not disclose the news of this type of sightings and not propaganda the possibility that there may be extraterrestrial vehicles that ply our skies. In China, of course, all sightings a bit 'suspicions were naturally traced to natural phenomena or, if doubt remained, were considered the result of suggestion or hallucination. Since even in this Country cinema showed strange characters in unlikely to travel in space ships and the media began to report these strange apparitions in the skies of the West rich and suspicious, people have believed to see some of them also turn over their heads.
UFOs have been seen by many different people and in possession of qualifications and specific training varies widely. They have reported seeing UFOs boys, teachers, policemen, airplane pilots, priests and even a head of state. This was Carter who told Jmmy, when he became president of the United States, he saw a few years ago, a UFO. In reality, Carter saw Venus at that period was very bright in the sky above the horizon and it was precisely in the position where the president reported that he saw the bright object. The fact that a witness sightings of a strange object is a person in good faith, educated and enjoys prestige, does not guarantee anything in this field because anyone can make mistakes of perception and interpretation. In fact, the eyes do not work like cameras that only record what they see, but are receptors that send the image that they attached to the brain and it is there that is reading and interpreting what has been seen. In humans to see, in fact, not the eye, but the brain and the brain is not content to record, but processes and decodes the image that sent the sense organ, also using the wealth of knowledge and culture available.
of UFO sightings, as we said, typically occur in short intervals, often at night and sometimes even on moving vehicles, all these things which make it difficult for even a good observation by experienced people. The pilots of aircraft, for example, sometimes fooled by some sightings that they should be familiar. It is said that during World War II aircraft gunners have fired on several occasions they believed had lights enemy airplanes approaching when in fact it was the planet Venus or some other celestial body. On one occasion, reported by the press, two crews of the American Civil Lines reported seeing a squadron of flying saucers coming to meet them, but later ascertained, even with the aid of some photos taken in the fact that it was in fact of a meteor shower, which, among other things, was not close to the aircraft as the pilots reported, but about 200 miles away.
To all this must be added the suggestion, the unacknowledged human injury and the desire to live out of the ordinary experiences. Imaginary experiences that are remembered and described as real enough common even among "normal" people, which does not make them public because they fear being ridiculed or, worse, taken for mad. However there is always some megalomaniac. There are people, for example, who told incredible things happened like that of having been abducted by aliens and taken aboard of the ship where they underwent a very thorough medical examination and then experienced a series of experiments (usually erotic) before reported to be safe and sound when it had been taken. Never occurred to these people, returning from their adventures, have brought with them some artifact certainly foreign to our technology: a gear, a button, any object that would be tangible proof of what they were saying.
Finally, there are scams and hoaxes themselves, one of which, very interesting, was organized in Britain and it spread to echo throughout the world. It was traces of a circular and other geometric figures printed on large fields of wheat and oats found by farmers or casual passersby. These discoveries began in the mid-seventies and lasted until the early nineties when the two pranksters who had masterminded the joke, having now over sixty years, decided to confess. The decision was also taken into account the fact that now he was exaggerating, especially by a press constantly looking for startling facts, which, for reasons of profit, was taking advantage of the situation that had arisen. In fact, the joke was not appreciated at all by farmers unaware that you could see the fields systematically ruined by the tracks left by the machines used by pranksters to create two tracks suspicious, and it was much appreciated by photographers and journalists who profit by taking advantage of ingenuity the simplest people, which was made to believe that it was indeed the work of aliens.
have been mistaken for UFO phenomena and objects both natural and human origin and a full list would be long and we will do it only a nod. First, there are planes and helicopters in night exercises that can easily deceive the unwary observer, especially if the wind direction moves the noise of aircraft in motion, these are the silent balloons must add that, being a considerable height, are still illuminated by the Sun when the Earth is already dark. Then there are scrap fire at satellites falling into the atmosphere like meteors that are often too confused with UFOs. They can also mislead botched or blurred photos depicting flocks of birds or even sheets of paper transported by the wind.
addition to solid objects, there are other phenomena of light such as car headlights or the limelight of nightclubs or casinos that brighten up the low clouds. Even the reflections on the windows of the car can give the illusion of a moving object in the sky. May be misleading, finally, the lenticular clouds and lightning. The latter now represent one of the most commonly accepted explanations for the sightings of objects "aliens." The phenomenology of lightning is still little known, but we know that it is able to simulate electromagnetic phenomena disks, shells, light globes, sometimes similar in appearance to a real "spaceships" of science fiction.
2. CHARACTERS
brings us to ufologists. It is generally people full of enthusiasm (and prejudices) who believe blindly in their eyewitness accounts of anyone who had seen these strange things and then to accept what is referred to as firm evidence of a phenomenon taking place. Now, since the scientific community does not take too seriously the story of encounters with extraterrestrial civilizations, ufologists have campaigned openly against the scientists who are accused of manipulating the results of research, to overlook important facts and be of service to governments UFOs do not want to hear.
ufologists, as we have said, I place the utmost confidence in eyewitness accounts without realizing that they, themselves, are not proof of anything. What does it mean, in fact, see? And the view is perhaps proof that what we saw actually exists?
There are eyewitness accounts of any kind. They were seen ghosts, the dead are raised, werewolves, Leviticus, statues of the Virgin Mary that shed tears of blood, and more. Now, since all these things have been seen, this means that actually exist? And a much higher number of sightings and even of different nature is in itself evidence of the existence of the phenomenon? On the other hand, if many people claim to have seen the same thing that you can own all these people be wrong? The monster Lockness, for example, has been seen many times and by different people, even photographed, then there exists? And the yeti, the abominable snowman, also there? Thousands of people, everywhere, have reported seeing the sun surrounded by colorful halo, move heaven and swirl around itself. What are we to make of these accounts? Worth more than these or those that relate to UFOs?
Science can not deal with these things, simply because these are events that you can not apply the research methods with which science operates. Science is in fact applied to natural phenomena, a survey technique which consists of a precise and rigorous experiment, ie at a table in the repetition of the phenomena observed in the collection of experimental data (ie measurements) and disseminating the results of its investigations. The disclosure of the results of their studies is an important step in scientific research because it is a way to give anyone who wishes to repeat the same experiments and get the same results anywhere on Earth is at any time to operate. The UFO phenomenon can not be one of the goals of scientific research, because there are all prerequisites for a serious and rigorous. In it you will take psychology or sociology, and of course the story, which already refers to a past full of apparitions of angels and saints, witches and dragons and many other characters more or less distant from the human.
However, despite the unreliability of the sightings and consequent inability to make a serious scientific research on them, it can still be an incentive to seek an explanation for some rare cases well documented, that could possibly indicate the presence of phenomena electromagnetic or abnormal weather. This is obviously a very small subset of events whose explanation must certainly be attributed to the aliens, but some bizarre properties of our atmosphere. We cite, for example, wisps, the lightning (which we have already mentioned), the luminescence of the night sky (Northern Lights, lights Hessdalen), the brightness of pre-seismic, etc.. All interpretations based on very strange and mysterious natural phenomena, but no less real and still so much more sense of childish as false equation "UFO = alien." If UFOs were really imagine what the ufologists, that ships with intelligent extraterrestrial beings on board, it would be moving objects in the cosmos violating all the laws of physics known to us.
analyze, first, the problem of speed which, for all we know, can not be greater than that of light. Well, if UFOs were spacecraft coming from distant worlds, given the size of astronomical distances and presumed rarity of technological civilizations present, these ships, even if they are unable to proceed at maximum speed possible (to our knowledge), should have traveled to dozens and hundreds of years, before coming down to us. Since it is implausible, we must assume that extraterrestrials have found ways to overcome the speed of light violating what is a taboo for us? But
travel at very high speeds appear to us impossible for other reasons among which is the same cosmic dust and hydrogen atoms in the Universe damage the mechanical means is full and would make it radioactive. To overcome this difficulty one should imagine that extraterrestrials are in possession of special materials, we do not know, able to plow through the endless space at high speeds without damage.
Then there is the problem of fuel. What is the source of energy available to them? All sources of energy that we know of, including but not antimatter that we can use for practical purposes, are not sufficient to propel a spacecraft to crazy speeds as there are those that are described by the eyewitnesses of UFO sightings .
There is also the problem of noise. Any one of us knows, from experience, that any object that passes through the atmosphere at great speed makes noise, a car, plane, missile, and even a stone or an arrow whistles produce more or less deafening when moving in ' air. UFO's nothing, absolutely silent.
Finally there is the issue of take-offs and landings that take place in complete silence and without a trace on the ground except a few insignificant burning, which could be the footprint left by any means land (including a car or a off-road), while spaceships like that should produce pits in the ground. Should take off in a spaceship leave deep burns on the ground resulting in flames that reach temperatures of hundreds of thousands of degrees and radioactive waste very apparent. But no, even in these cases nothing or almost nothing.
To justify these contradictions all ufologists believe that our extraterrestrial visitors are in possession of scientific and technological knowledge very different from those known to us, and without knowing what they say, speak of "gravitational screens" that would enable spaceships break away from the heavenly bodies without having to overcome the attraction of "hyperspace", ie a multi-dimensional space, which would allow them to travel faster than light. They speak also of vehicles gathering fuel from the interstellar medium and many other things that simply show their complete ignorance of science.
All these people claim can not be proved, and therefore, from a scientific point of view, the stories of ufologists have no value. This thing does not crowd them: For them, the phenomenon is such that it transcends our intellectual ability, therefore, the assumption must accept his own inadequacy and failure. In other words, even the UFO, like many others, is a matter of faith, something that you just have to believe.
