Hmm interesting, I'll check out that link when I'm awake enough to read it ... thanks
I actually saw where you can download the first 2 Chapters of the book on Scribd, so I downloaded them, and will likely read them over the next couple of days.
I have two of them I bought six or seven years ago when they were still cheap. One is on loan to my neighbor and the other is in storage in a box somewhere.
In the end he was inconclusive and reluctant to speak about which way he was leaning. I think that may have changed later as he narrowed down the possibilities.
He did say they took an interest in him and appeared at his house and school.
Here is some good reading:
Google News Archive Results for 'Project Identification: The first Scientific Study of UFO Phenomena' : UAP
Read the March 22nd 1988 paper article. Be aware that when you have to skip pages in the paper, it doesnt co-relate with the page it shows at the top. Look for the page on the paper itself.
Here is an interesting statement:
" Youve got to be careful when you predict", he said. "I havent said its extra-terrestrials. It might be man made. I believe religion has to be considered also. This may have something to do with religion".
Yeah I actually read the chapters before going to sleep ... they were more brief than I had thoughtToo bad its just 2 chapters, the last half is better.The time exposure pictures he included show exactly how the lights move. They sort of "jiggle" or bounce, maybe a better word would be "waft".
Since the discussion has turned to UFO's i am going to tell what I actually saw one night just a few months before I received my university degree.
I was driving home for spring break in my last year at Murray State University. (April,1966) It was an all night drive, and it was a clear night. As there had been a recent spate of reports of sightings, I was praying, Lord, if these things are real, let me see one tonight. And I watched the sky as I drove.
About 2 AM I was crossing the Ohio River bridge from Covington, Kentucky, into Cincinnati, Ohio. I saw a distant light in the western sky, and began to watch it. At first, it seemed to be a flame, so I decided that I was staring up the tail of a jet plane with its afterburner on. But then I realized it was headed toward me, not away from me. After a while, it appeared to be a row of lights, so I decided I was looking at the windows of a large airliner with its cabin lights on. But it was still approaching me, so this could not be true.
By this time I was in the city of Cincinnati, and going very slow, as there was no other traffic in the streets (As I said, it was around 2 AM.) The "thing" kept coming closer, and I was now able to see that it was a rectangle with flames racing over it. IN a few minutes it passed directly over my head, I estimated about 200 feet up and going forty miles an hour.
But as it passed so close, I saw that it was not on fire at all. It was a rectangle covered with incandescent light bulbs that were being flashed like a theater marguee to simulate flames racing over it.
As it passed to where it was directly over my head, so I could no longer see it because of the roof of the car, I shook my head, and said, well, you've seen one, and stomped on the gas pedal to go on. But then, I said, "Wait a minute, you're a scientist! (I was just about to receive a degree in science.) You can't accept it that easily!" I stomped on the brake and stuck my head out of the window and looked back at it. And as I did, it passed for a fraction of a second through a lighted area where I could see, for only a moment, a very normal but completely darkened biplane immediately above it and obviously carrying it!
So yes, I once saw a UFO. But I converted it into an IFO. It was obviously some kind of a hoax designed to excite people, for some twisted reason.
That last is similar to other researchers linking these events to paranormal. I think it very informative some believe these were in telepathic contact with human observers.
I have felt this way. Many times, when my family would be studying the bible, and praying, these would show up outside the sliding glass window in a field.
Other times we were in the kitchen, they would be accompanied by a sub-sonic rattling of the house to get our attention to look outside.
I know the New Madrid fault is close by, but, no, thats not what these things are. They are intelligent.
Soon I stopped even paying any attention to them because I pretty much figured out what they are by their actions. They gave themselves away through their manipulation/timing of events. Its my observation they can read a persons mind and jump around in the timeline.
The closer you get to God, the more Satan tries to pull you away from Him.
Your scientific credentials are open to dispute as bias is unscientific. Your personal experiences certainly cannot explain those of others. To suggest it does, is unsound---the antithesis of scientific.
Nah, that can't be true. After all, if you see a flying thing you can't identify, it has to be a fallen angel, not a biplane.So yes, I once saw a UFO. But I converted it into an IFO. It was obviously some kind of a hoax designed to excite people, for some twisted reason.

Or as we in Tennessee call it, a bad dream.Abductees have been recorded during their "abduction," and on film they never went anywhere, it was all in their head, a vision.

The common line in pretty much all contact or abduction accounts is "I woke up and...". Yep, I'm sure you did.
Did you know that Jimmy Carter say a UFO?
In 1973 Carter said (Sheaffer 1998:20–21)
"There were about twenty of us standing outside of a little restaurant, I believe, a high school lunch room, and a kind of green light appeared in the western sky. This was right after sundown. It got brighter and brighter. And then it eventually disappeared. It didn't have any solid substance to it, it was just a very peculiar-looking light. None of us could understand what it was."
Speaking in a 2005 interview, Carter states:
"all of a sudden, one of the men looked up and said, 'Look, over in the west!' And there was a bright light in the sky. We all saw it. And then the light, it got closer and closer to us. And then it stopped, I don’t know how far away, but it stopped beyond the pine trees. And all of a sudden it changed color to blue, and then it changed to red, then back to white. And we were trying to figure out what in the world it could be, and then it receded into the distance."
Jimmy Carter UFO incident
When Carter was in office he ordered that everything the Federal Government had on UFOs be disclosed to the public. The UK was a lot more reluctant and didn't actually release all the information on UFOs until much more recently.
Hang on there a minute, what kind of scientific proof or credibility does he need to relate an experience. That's not only irrelevant but audacious and rude. This seems a strange place to find a statement like that but I would simply respond:
Define Science
I really think your just using the word as a clutch phrase but I'll give you the benefit of a doubt, what's the word actually mean. Do you know? Do you care?
Read anywhere on this board and you will see it.

What is unique to our time, that didn't exist when Paul wrote?
The ufo deception, Satan wasn't conditioning people to believe UFOs exist in the days of Paul, as he is doing today.
