** UFOs - Are they for real?A discussion. What is a UFO? The term Unidentified Flying Object refers to any object, which is flying and cannot be identified. This can be just about anything you can imagine, from planes seen at funny angles to secret experimental aircraft. It can also mean meteorites or planets such as Venus or Jupiter which can sometimes look like they are moving. There is an endless list of things which when seen by the untrained eye will not be readily identifiable. When a UFO is reported (if someone actually bothers and actually knows who to report it to) this is what most of them turn out to be, 90 to 95%, probably more, are in fact perfectly identifiable objects to those who know their sky. Most UFOs are not UFOs at all. It is the remaining 5 - 10% which are the most interesting, these have been reported for many, many years. These are objects that cannot be identified that have no explanation. Now this does not mean they are from outer space, they could be (and in many cases probably are) experimental or advanced military aircraft. The UFO could of course be a case of misadventure, like Pink Floyd's giant inflatable pig which escaped into the sky and was seen by pilots of aircraft flying over London. But these do not explain everything. There are some aircraft which fly into the airspace of countries all across the world are tracked on radar and are even sometimes chased by the military aircraft. The thing that sets these aircraft apart is their characteristics, these are unusual shapes such as black triangles, glowing orbs, cigar shapes and of course the famous "flying saucer". These craft can do some decidedly odd things, they can hover silently, they can do seemingly impossible manoeuvres and whiz off at incredible speeds. When they are tracked on radar they have been found to be doing acceleration which no human could survive. That is of course when they can be tracked, most of the time they cannot be tracked on radar due to what is presumably some sort of stealth type technology - this must be very advanced stealth technology as none of the current publicly known stealth aircraft are completely radar invisible. These UFOs are peculiar in other ways as well, for a start they usually involve some sort of exceedingly bright lights. Secondly there are occasions where electrical equipment has ceased to work while the UFO is in the vicinity, when the UFO disappears (usually at very high speed) the electrical equipment all starts working again as if nothing had happened, no explanation has ever been found for this. Those who have been unfortunate enough to get in close contact with these craft have ended up with serious radiation burns, or worse, dead. These are the type of incident which interests "proper" UFO researchers. There can be no doubt that there is something decidedly odd is flying about in our skies, official documents from various countries are testament to this, and no one knows who or what they are. The usual explanation is that they are perhaps some form of experimental aircraft however the fact they have very bright lights goes against secret aircraft as they would hardly want to go around advertising their presence. The black triangle could of course be a stealth aircraft but there is a problem here as well, there are reports of black triangles in the sky going back well over a hundred years. Another point that can be made against experimental craft is that even they would not be capable of the sort of feats performed by some UFOs and even if they could the pilots would be killed doing them. You could point out that these are by nature experimental craft and would do more then we would expect but we would have some idea how to theorize how it would be done, in the case of UFOs we have simply no idea how they do their feats, using existing advanced technology they would simply be impossible to recreate. The other explanation for UFOs is of course that they are no from this world at all but from a different planet. The first problem with this is Einstein's theory of relativity which prevents travel faster than light, this would make travel between the stars difficult to stay the least but not entirely impossible. Some scientists have proposed how faster then light travel may be possible but these usually involve using impossibly difficult techniques, needless to say faster than light travel is not due any time soon. I have also proposed a method of travelling faster than light but it involves building gravitational engines which may or may not work (see Gravity and how to avoid it). There is of course the possibility that an advanced alien civilization has achieved faster then light travel and are visiting us but we don't know if there are any other civilizations out there never mind advanced ones. Then again we equally do not know if there are //no// civilization out there, the question is open at the moment. You can throw all the theories you like about but we just do not know if we are alone or not. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Recent discoveries on potential fossils from Mars and of certain molecules on the moons of Jupiter do however seem to be pointing in the direction that life in the rest of the universe may be inevitable. So, the question remains, are UFOs for real? Yes, there is something unknown in our skies, that much is a fact. Is it from another world is another question altogether, the abilities of the craft would suggest that they could be be and there is no longer any solid reason why "they" should not be visiting us. That however does not constitute proof that they are from another world and until we know that they are going to remain unidentified. Until then we must make our own judgement based on what we do know, I am lead to the view that something is visiting us, mainly due to the performance of these aircraft. I happen to think that these are just //too// advanced to be from our own world and besides, what sort of aircraft emits radiation? When we have the answers we will know, until then I cannot rule the extraterrestrial hypothesis. **
