Book excerpt: THE RAW MATERIAL OF UFOLOGY Over a period of a dozen years, John Timmerman ran a traveling UFO exhibit for the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) that appeared in malls from Seattle to Dallas to Nova Scotia, and from Guam to Puerto Rico. In the process he spoke to hundreds of people from around the world who came in off the street and described their own UFO sightings and experiences. Timmerman ended up with nearly 1,200 taped interviews, firsthand testimony with the lingering taste of truth. Their stories present the UFO phenomenon in all its raw glory, describing lights, disks, cigars, boomerangs, and objects where the structure was... well... indescribable; close encounters of all kinds, landing traces, physiological effects, vehicle interference, entities, radar cases, jet scrambles, crashed disks, morphing objects; and cases of such concentrated weirdness they'll just make you shake your head, leaving you puzzled and uncomfortable - if not totally floored. A mighty strange universe is providing this entertainment. JOHN TIMMERMAN graduated from Cornell University in Sociology and had a long and successful career in business. He was intrigued almost immediately by the UFO phenomenon when sightings began, and in the 1950s he was one of the volunteers for Project A at Ohio Northern University in a long-forgotten chapter in UFO history. In 1978, after attending a lecture by astronomer J. Allen Hynek, he volunteered with CUFOS, taking on a variety of responsibilities, ranging from case investigation to Treasurer. He was editor of the CUFOS Associate Newsletter and developed and manned the CUFOS display, allowing him to record the many reports detailed in this book. MICHAEL D. SWORDS graduated from the University of Notre Dame in Chemistry, Iowa State University in Biochemistry, and Case Western Reserve in the History of Science and Technology. He was a professor of Natural Science at Western Michigan University for 30 years and spent 20 years of scholarship and service with CUFOS, including editing the peer-reviewed Journal of UFO Studies. He now writes a blog called The Big Study.

Download or read book American Cosmic written by D.W. Pasulka and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than half of American adults and more than seventy-five percent of young Americans believe in intelligent extraterrestrial life. This level of belief rivals that of belief in God. American Cosmic examines the mechanisms at work behind the thriving belief system in extraterrestrial life, a system that is changing and even supplanting traditional religions. Over the course of a six-year ethnographic study, D.W. Pasulka interviewed successful and influential scientists, professionals, and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who believe in extraterrestrial intelligence, thereby disproving the common misconception that only fringe members of society believe in UFOs. She argues that widespread belief in aliens is due to a number of factors including their ubiquity in modern media like The X-Files, which can influence memory, and the believability lent to that media by the search for planets that might support life. American Cosmic explores the intriguing question of how people interpret unexplainable experiences, and argues that the media is replacing religion as a cultural authority that offers believers answers about non-human intelligent life.

Download or read book UFOs written by Leslie Kean and published by Crown. This book was released on 2011-08-02 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Impeccably researched, this riveting journalistic investigation separates fact from fiction, and documents the unexplained mysteries of—and government reactions to—actual UFOs. “A treasure trove of insightful and eye-opening information.”—Michio Kaku, PH.D., bestselling author of Physics of the Future Leslie Kean, a veteran investigative reporter who has spent the past ten years studying the still-unexplained UFO phenomenon, reviewed hundreds of government documents, aviation reports, radar data, and case studies with corroborating physical evidence. She interviewed dozens of high-level officials and aviation witnesses from around the world. Among them, five Air Force generals and a host of high-level sources—including Fife Symington III, former governor of Arizona, and Nick Pope, former head of the British Defence Ministry’s UFO Investigative Unit—have written their own breathtaking, firsthand accounts about UFO encounters and investigations exclusively for this book. With the support of former White House chief of staff John Podesta, Kean lifts the veil on decades of U.S. government misinformation about this mysterious phenomenon and presents irrefutable evidence that unknown flying objects—metallic, luminous, and seemingly able to maneuver in ways that defy the laws of physics—actually exist. With a Foreword by John Podesta “The most important book on the phenomenon in a generation.”—Journal of Scientific Exploration “Written with penetrating depth and insight, the revelations in this book constitute a watershed event in lifting the taboo against rational discourse about this controversial subject.”—Harold E. Puthoff, PH.D., Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin “Kean presents the most accurate, most credible reports on UFOs you will ever find. She may not have the final smoking gun, but I smell the gunpowder.”—Miles O’Brien, science correspondent for PBS’s NewsHour
Download or read book The Expanding Case for the UFO written by Morris K. Jessup and published by . This book was released on 1957 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From the craters of the moon, the jungle-ridden cities of prehistory, the world's scattered Pygmy tribes, and the columns of yesterday's newspaper comes new and thought-provoking evidence for the existence of space life." Such were the words on the original dust jacket of this, the first edition of "The Expanding Case For the UFO." First released in 1957, "The Expanding Case" was the sequel to perhaps the most notorious book in the history of ufology: "The Case For the UFO," which drew the interest of the U.S. Navy and resulted in the infamously annotated "Varo Edition."The annotator of the book, Carlos Allende, claimed to have been a witness to the Philadelphia Experiment. Allende seemed to think that the book's author, astronomer M.K. Jessup, knew more about the experiment than he was admitting, and had maybe played a role in it."The Expanding Case For the UFO" was the last book ever written by M.K. Jessup, and it ties together many of the controversial threads first exposed in "The Case for the UFO." This special reprint features the original "lost" introduction by noted zoologist Ivan T. Sanderson.As evidence to how dangerous this material was at the time, it was only two years later that Jessup - after experiencing threatening phone calls and alarming synchronicities "too unbelievable to describe" - would be found dead in a park in Dade County, Florida - supposedly a "suicide."While Allende claimed Jessup killed the hitman sent to terminate him, and was able to escape by trading identities with the hitman, the facts remain obscured - like the UFOs themselves - in a most intriguing fog.

Download or read book Aliens and Ufos written by Angelo Tropea and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new and compelling book which argues for the reality of Aliens and UFOs.Through a series of interesting and convincing “exhibits” and comparisons a legal case is made for the existence of Aliens and UFOs 'beyond a reasonable doubt.”In Section 1, the introduction of this book, legal evidence and the different levels of proof are discussed. The author proposes introducing evidence that is competent, relevant and material and that more than suffices to prove the case for the existence of Aliens and UFOs under the strictest evidentiary standard, “proof beyond a reasonable doubt.” Throughout the book numerous examples in the form of exhibits are provided. Section 2, “Ancient Historical Perspective,” includes selective examples of Alien and UFO sightings by our ancient ancestors – from cave dwellers to Christopher Columbus. They establish the fact that Alien and UFO sightings and encounters have been documented since the dawn of man. Much of the references to Aliens and UFOs are depicted or described in the limited terms familiar to the witnesses of the time and often explained within a restrictive religious framework. Section 3, “Application Of Scientific Reasoning,” presents scientific testimony for the existence of countless alien worlds and the almost certainty of intelligent life. It introduces man's attempt to scientifically classify and understand encounters while at the same coming to the realization that our understanding may be limited and elementary. Section 4, “Common Sense Argument,” discusses the relatively short span of man's existence, as compared to the probable longer span of older civilizations. It argues that we should be open to accepting the reality that we may not be the center of the universe and that we may still have much to learn. Section 5, “Recent Historical Perspective,” cites examples of recent Alien and UFO encounters. Radar, visual sightings, physical evidence and testimony of direct alien contact emphasize the fact that sightings and encounters are continuing and are becoming increasingly well documented. Section 6, “The Testimony Of Experts,” provides testimony – indirect and circumstantial (as in the case of Astronomer Carl Sagan) and very direct (as in the case of Astronaut Gordon Cooper). Section 7, “Select List Of UFOs In History,” contains numerous descriptions of UFO and Alien sightings – all providing strong proof that aliens and UFOs do indeed exist and are as real as astronauts and the space vehicles that transport them.

Download or read book Science and the UFO s written by Jenny Randles and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1991-01-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate about UFO's has raged for as long as people have stared into the heavens. Yet to this day the scientific establishment has steadfastly refused to engage in systematic study of what they are. This book examines why. Randles and Warrington establish by detailed case histories of many UFO sightings that unexplained phenomena certainly exist. Picking their way expertly through the maze of misinformation and fantasy, they examine the possible explanations, rejecting the 'standard' view- that UFO's are alien spaceships- in favour of more scientifically based and testable ideas. They suggest ways in which scientific standard should be applied and consider the fruits that such enquiries might yield- and the potential consequences for mankind of explaining the hitherto inexplicable.
