Two Types of Phenomena:
- UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) = Metallic looking objects
- UAPs (Unidentified Atmospheric Phenomena) = Light phenomena in round or irregular shape, which can pulsate
Sometimes occur together. Often interchangeably used by laypeople, but should be categorized separately.
Characteristics / Classification
5 Observables:- Anti-gravity lift
- Sudden and instantaneous acceleration
- Hypersonic velocities without signatures
- Low observability, or cloaking
- Trans-medium travel
Statistical Foundations:
“Therefore, according to all experiences of UFO investigators, only about ten percent of witnesses report their sightings to official agencies, and among pilots, it's at most five to ten percent”(“Results from 40 Years of UFO Research”, p. 10 Haines, 2000)
Reasons Why the Topic Has Gained and Still Gains Little Attention:
- UFO Taboo (p.9 – “Results from 40 Years of UFO Research” (March 2015, Illobrand von Ludwiger))
- Anthropocentric Worldview
- Four Narcissistic Injuries
Strategy of Ridicule
“With apathy comes the ability to accept the silliest of explanations – whatever they may be – just to fend off the necessity of having to think about the unthinkable.”(Hynek 1977/1978)
“Taking UFOs seriously means questioning one's own seriousness.”(Kean, 2010, p. 9 “Results from 40 Years of UFO Research”)
“When skeptics, who claim they can identify all phenomena and use lies, simplifications, and witness defamation, can really clarify a single case out of an overwhelming amount of UFO sightings, then they think they have explained all cases.” p.9
“It is easier for scientists to accept newcomers like quasars or black holes that already fit into the theoretical structure of physics than those that do not.” p. 13
Worldview Change
(…) This leads to the conclusion that we must accept a six-dimensional reality in which phenomena of parapsychology are already being technologically perfected by foreign intelligence, and that man is more than just a material being in space and time. – Blurb “Results from 40 Years of UFO Research” (March 2015, Illobrand von Ludwiger)
Outlook:
“We are facing a Copernican shift of our space-time limited worldview that will change all areas of life and knowledge.” (p.10)
