Memories Of A Young Ufologist

Memories Of A Young Ufologist

From some of my earliest memories as a child, I’ve always had a fascination with the paranormal and the strange. I remember in school as a young boy attending a book fair and while most of the kids were buying books on animals and such things, I was buying a book on the Loch Ness monster.

And ever since then I’ve been hooked on all things paranormal, such as Lake Monsters, ghosts, Bigfoot and in particularly UFOs. I was always interested in UFOs for various reasons, however one reason was it seem more plausible and more realistic to me as a point of interest.

Bigfoot was too far off in the Woodlands for me to go hunt for it, the same for the Lake monsters. My interest in ghosts and spirits became greater as I got older and learned more about it. The spiritual world actually fascinates me quite a bit these days. Nevertheless, UFOs have intrigued me since I was a child and continue too.

One big reason why UFOs interested me so much was because they were literally coming from another galaxy, from another planet and were supposedly landing here on earth. Not only did I find that greatly interesting but also made me feel like I was part of it or potentially could be part of it.

Essentially UFOs were spotted across the world, one day they could be Mexico and the next day they could be in my front lawn and to a young child, it was quite exciting. Needless to say, they never did land in my front lawn but my interest in them has never waned.

Personally speaking, within the paranormal world UFOs and ghosts/spirits would be the most plausible to me although you should always have an open mind. I also find the subject of Bigfoot quite interesting but not as probable, however, possible.

I remember as a child reading about UFOs and wondering how it was possible for them to travel such long distances and exactly who were these aliens and were they malevolent or benevolent toward us. I have always had a great imagination and this helped to facilitate my interest and questions about UFOs and the paranormal in general.

I remember my first alien contact story which had me completely fascinated, it was the Billy Meier case. Billy Meier is an infamous Swiss farmer, who claimed to be in regular contact with alien beings and produced numerous incredible photographs and movies, especially for the time. As a youngster, I found the story to be incredible however as an adult I truly feel the man is an ingenious hoaxer, as the majority of people who study the case now believe as well.

None the less the Billy Meier case helped propel my interest in UFOs exceedingly, as well as the Betty and Barney Hill case. Only time will tell if disclosure happens, particularly in the United States, but peoples interest in UFOs only seems to be getting greater and greater as time passes by.

Unidentified Flying Objects

UFO stands for unidentified flying object. A UFO is an object that is sighted in the sky that appears to be abnormal, unusual and cannot be identified as a recognizable object by the observer.

A UFO can be anything that is readily unidentifiable. UFOs are objects that tend to have characteristic and qualities that are unfamiliar and remarkable. They may come in unusual shapes and possess incredible speed, bright light and are able move with agility. Many objects reported as UFOs in the first instance turn out to be identifiable objects, but there are reported sightings of UFOs that are indeed objects that cannot be identified.

The actual term ‘UFO’ is quite new and was first used in 1952 to describe these objects sighted in the sky. Often they have been termed ‘flying saucers’ or ‘flying disks’, due to the appearance of some sighted UFOS,  and alien spacecraft, because of their qualities that make them appear not to be from Earth. Back in the late 19th century and early 20th century sightings of UFOs were reported as ‘mystery airships’, and during World War II the term ‘foo fighters’ was used to describe UFOs by American fighter pilots.

Each year, there are many UFO sightings. The first most publicized sighting of a UFO happened in the United States in 1947 and was reported by Kenneth Arnold, a private pilot. In fact, it was from this incident that the terms ‘flying saucer’ came to the fore to describe UFOs. Many of reported UFO sightings turned out to be mistaken and they turn out to be a man-made object or a natural phenomenon. They turn out to be aircraft, balloons, and different types of clouds, light phenomena like mirages, meteors, comets and planets viewed from afar in the sky. Some UFO sightings can also be the result of hoaxes.

However, there are a small yet still significant number of UFO sightings that have not been explained, and are indeed reports of Unidentified Flying Objects. There at about 5 to 20 per cent of sightings reported that are yet unexplained. Many reports of sightings are from trained observers including pilots and military personnel.  The number of UFO sightings has reportedly been on the ride during recent years, with about 500 sightings being reported each month.

UFOs are generally believed to be objects that are extra-terrestrial in origin. In other words, UFOs are said to be alien spacecraft.  This is because the objects that are sighted as UFOs display unconventional technological characteristics, including the object’s flying qualities and appearance, which neither belongs to a natural phenomenon or human invention. For this reason it is believed that UFOs are not objects from Earth, but rather, from outer space.

Apart from the extra-terrestrial hypothesis on UFOs, there have been other hypotheses including the inter-dimensional hypothesis which claims that UFOs are objects that have crossed over from other dimensions or a parallel universe. There is also the psychosocial hypothesis which accounts for UFO sightings as the result of misinterpretation due to popular culture influences. Another hypothesis is that UFOs are advanced or experimental military aircraft that possess the unique characteristics ascribed to such sightings.

Stereo-B Triangle UFO

An odd triangle shaped object captured on video December 27 – 29 by NASA’s Stereo- B spacecraft is the latest video which UFO hunters and conspiracy theorists believe depicts an enormous triangle  UFO in outer space heading towards Earth.  NASA’s Stereo-B spacecraft is one of two probes parked on either side of the sun which together produces a 360 view of the inner solar s system.

UFO hunters claim that the video depicts Venus, Earth and on the opposite side heading towards Earth; a mysterious huge triangle shaped UFO. According to the claims of the UFO conspiracists, in comparison with the planetary objects within view the actual size of the UFO would be immense.

This is not the first time that UFO hunters have discovered what they believed to be a gigantic UFO among images captured by these stereo probes. However, this time the team of scientists at NASA who work with the data from the probes decided to address the claim directly.

In a nutshell, the scientists at NASA explained the UFO seen on the on the video is actually just a trick of light. The NASA scientists wrote, at the same time as the strange looking feature (UFO) starts becoming visible, the very bright planet Venus enters the field of view from the lower left.

The scientists emphasized that Venus and the triangle seen opposite each other across the middle of the field remain in step as they move and this is because the strange triangle shaped object is actually an internal reflection of the planet Venus within the telescope optics.

In this optical phenomenon, incoming light reflects back and forth both off lenses and mirrors inside the telescope. The shapes of artifacts produced by the scattered light typically are triangles and circles of various sizes depending on the relative orientations of those lenses and mirrors within the telescope. In fact, this effect has been observed many times before, according to scientists and NASA. So what do you think was the ufo real?
