Talking about the fact that in one or another part of our planet people have seen an alien spacecraft, has gained particular popularity since the forties of the twentieth century. Cases of encounters with an unidentified flying object (UFO) have increased several times over the past couple of years.
Scientists have proven that ninety percent of them are astronomical or meteorological phenomena, as well as visual illusions, classified types of flying technology or ordinary fakes by interested parties. However, the remaining 10% of such observations simply cannot be explained.
A bit of history
Scientists believe that people have observed alien ships since ancient times. This is confirmed by numerous myths, legends and stories that describe amazing objects flying across the sky, as well as creatures that have come out of them. Based on these stories, unfortunately, it is impossible to single out the facts that actually happened. That is why ufologists concentrate their attention only on studying reports that strange objects have been seen above the Earth, starting only from the endnineteenth century. So, in 1890, residents of the northern regions of the United States observed alien ships. Americans describe them as blimp-like craft, shining with bright spotlights.
These strange flying objects flew over settlements and farms. Some of those who watched them move claimed to have even seen the pilots who were in them. There is no consensus on the authenticity of these stories. Many scientists believe that such reports are nothing more than fictional hoaxes. However, there are also ufologists who consider these observations to be reliable.
Alien ships were seen by pilots during World War II. Often strange balls flew near their planes, emitting a bright light. These unidentified objects were nicknamed "fu-fires". This term was taken from the comic book magazine that was popular at the time. At first, the pilots assumed that the luminous balls were reconnaissance vehicles or the secret weapon of Nazi Germany. However, it wasn't until after the end of the war that the German pilots also saw bright lights, believing them to be the latest British or American gadget.
In large numbers, alien ships were observed in the summer and autumn days of 1946 over Norway and Sweden. People dubbed them "ghost rockets" and considered these objects to be Russian secret weapons, which were created using German military programs. The Swedish Ministry of Defense clarified that eighty percent of such cases are nothing more than natural phenomena. However, 20% of what I sawno explanation was received.
Reports of "fu-fighters" and "airships" are more likely and plausible than stories from ancient legends. However, until now, many ufologists continue to question the reliability of the reports described above. Most researchers believe that the modern era in the study of UFOs began on 1947-24-06. It was on this day that businessman and pilot Arnold Cannet, flying over Washington State in the Cascade Mountains, saw 9 strange crescent-shaped objects.
The alien ships were only in his line of sight for three and a half minutes, but even this time was enough to make sure that they were not planes at all. Arnold transmitted his message over the radio and, landing at the airport, met the reporters who had already rushed for the sensation. Answering their questions, he described the trajectory of the UFO, saying that it is similar to the flight of a saucer thrown parallel to the water surface. Since then, UFOs have been called the "flying saucer".
Types of alien ships
Ufologists comprehensively study the nature of the behavior and size of UFOs. Such studies have identified four main types of alien ships. The first of these includes the smallest objects. These are discs or balls with a diameter of 20 to 100 cm. Such UFOs fly at low altitudes. Sometimes they are separated from large objects and then returned to them.
The second type of alien ships include small UFOs with egg-shaped and disk-shaped. The diameter of such flying objectsis 2 to 3 meters. These alien ships are often spotted at low altitude. They most often land and are carriers of small objects that are separated from them, then return to them again.
The third type of alien ships is considered the main one. These UFOs are disks with a diameter of 9 to 40 meters. The height of such a figure in the central part is equal to 1/5-1/10 of its diameter. These alien ships independently fly in all layers of the atmosphere, only occasionally landing on Earth. Smaller objects are also sometimes separated from them.
The fourth type includes large UFOs. As a rule, they are in the form of cylinders or cigars and range in length from 100 to 800, and sometimes more than meters. They are observed in the upper atmosphere, flying along a simple trajectory, sometimes just hovering in the air. The fact that alien ships of this type land on Earth has not yet been received. Anyone who has observed the "cigars" only claims that small objects are separated from these UFOs. It is believed that large ships are capable of flying in space. This type also includes giant disks observed in some cases, the diameter of which ranges from 100 to 200 m.
Basic UFO Shapes
Alien ships appear before the gaze of earthlings in the form:
- discs with one or two convex sides;
- balls surrounded by rings or without them;
- elongated and flattened spheres;
- triangular and rectangular objects.
A French group of experts studying aerospace phenomena published data according to which the most common UFOs are round in the form of balls, disks or spheres. And only twenty percent of alien ships look like top hats and cigars.
Varieties of UFOs
Unusual flying objects are observed on all continents of planet Earth. The alien ship can be described by eyewitnesses:
- round, namely in the form of an inverted bowl or plate;
- disc-shaped, with or without domes;
- hat-like, like a bell or Saturn;
- pear-shaped, egg-shaped, resembling a barrel, pear or spinning top;
- oblong like a cigar, cylinder, spindle, torpedo or rocket;
- pointed, resembling a pyramid, regular or truncated cone, funnel, flat triangle or rhombus;
- rectangular, similar to a bar, parallelepiped or square;
- very unusual, resembling a mushroom, a wheel with or without spokes, a cross, a letter.
UFO flights
Eyewitnesses indicate that all kinds of alien ships are able to move through space at great speed. In this mode, they are rebuilt instantly from a state of motionless hovering. In addition, UFOs surprise with their ability to make sharp maneuvers and instantly change the original direction to the opposite. There are many examples confirming that UFOs can fly not only in the atmosphere, but also in space. At the same time, their movement is silent and does not disturb the environment. Wednesday.
It is also interesting that during the flights of alien ships, explosive sounds that accompany our ultra-high-speed aircraft are not heard. It seems that these objects are not hindered by air resistance, since their body can be turned in any direction relative to the trajectory of movement.
But the most unusual property of all types of UFOs lies in their ability to become invisible, disappearing from the field of view of the observer. This confirms a number of reported cases.
Unusual lighting
There are many photos of alien ships from which one or more light beams depart. They resemble the lights of searchlights aimed at the ground. Some people who have observed such UFOs claim that such rays are able to move back and forth, up and down. Sometimes these cosmic spotlights "turn on" and "off" periodically.
However, there have been cases where the rays emitted by an alien ship exhibited unusual properties. They did not dissipate in space, retained the same brightness along their entire length, and ended in luminous balls. At times, the light emanating from a UFO would move slowly and then be instantly drawn into an unidentified object. Another amazing feature of such rays lies in their ability to bend, outlining any angle in the air, up to a right one. Similar cases were observed both abroad and in our country.
Appearance
Photos of alien ships taken by eyewitnesses indicate that most oftenthese objects are metallic, aluminum silver, or light pearl. Sometimes they are enveloped in a cloud, visually blurring the contours of the object. UFOs, as a rule, have a shiny, polished surface, on which there are no rivets or seams. According to eyewitnesses, the upper side of such a ship is lighter, and the lower side is dark. Transparent domes tower over some UFOs.
The middle part of the object often has one or even two rows of round portholes or rectangular windows. Some UFOs emanate rods that look like periscopes or antennas. In some cases, these parts rotate or move.
On the bottom of an unidentified object, it is sometimes possible to see 3-4 supports that extend during landing and retract inward during takeoff.
No one managed to visit inside the alien ship. There is some evidence of people claiming that they were abducted by representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations, but the authenticity of these stories is clearly doubted by ufologists.
Unusual find
At the bottom of the Gulf of Bothnia, in the area between Sweden and Finland, an unknown object was found. Ufologists around the world believe that an alien ship has been found in the area.
A huge round object was discovered by Swedish researchers of the deep sea in 2011. Scientists were searching for the wreckage of ancient shipwrecks. At a depth of 92 meters, instead of old boxes, they found a rounded object of strange origin. Its diameter isa little over 18 m.
Researchers are confident that an alien ship has been found in the area and has been in distress. This is indicated by the crumpled and pitted bottom around the object. It seems that the flying saucer, having fallen into the depths of the sea, was still trying to move.
Many experts believe that UFOs create a lot of problems for ships passing in the area. It turns off the equipment on them, and the devices simply stop working. However, this version has its opponents. They believe that in the waters of the B altic Sea there is not an alien ship at all, but ordinary rocks that have taken the form of a flying saucer over the years. However, it has not yet been possible to confirm or refute the existing assumptions. All attempts to descend to the strange object and explore it fail.
UFO in outer space
Mysterious photographs of unidentified objects were brought to Earth in 1972 by American astronauts participating in the Apollo 16 expedition. The footage clearly showed a luminous ball of unknown origin. Several decades later, when viewing photographs of the surface of the moon, white balls were also noticed on them. There were many different versions and conjectures about this. But the most plausible was the explanation that these objects are nothing but alien ships.
A luminous object similar to a lunar UFO was also found on Mars. Photographs with his image were published by NASA in the free press. Ufologists believe that this object, flying over the Red Planet at a low altitude, was clearly controlled by an intelligent being. It is assumed that the frame depicted an alien ship. It is possible that he was on a mission over Mars.
UFO in the frame
Today, there are a large number of photographs depicting unidentified objects. The first of these was taken in 1883. The author of the picture is an astronomer from Mexico, J. Bonilla.
All photos that fall into the hands of ufologists are subject to examination. Indeed, sometimes it happens that an alien ship turns out to be either a natural phenomenon or an outright fake. But genuine photographs are rarely of high quality and understandable, since UFOs always appear unexpectedly. It also makes it difficult for researchers to work.
Ufologists have several criteria according to which the authenticity of UFO footage is determined. The most basic of them is the reliability of the photographer. In addition, to confirm their pictures, the eyewitness must provide ufologists with genuine negatives or the camera itself. It is also desirable that UFO images be taken from various angles.
