Disney Does UFOs

by Charles Lear, author of “The Flying Saucer Investigators.”

UFO documentaries and television specials play a big part in introducing people to the subject. Sometimes they’re well researched and made with care by creators with a passionate interest in the subject, and sometimes they’re made mostly for the sake of making money. In the case of a television special made by the Walt Disney Company titled Alien Encounters from New Tomorrowland that was aired in 5 U.S. cities in February and March of 1995, it was created as a means to promote a new ride at Walt Disney World Resort. While fairly typical of the UFO-related television presentations of its day, the matter-of-fact statements by narrator Robert Urich to the effect that aliens are visiting Earth in spaceships and abducting its human inhabitants, and that there are government documents that prove this, caused some to speculate that the documentary was made in partnership with U.S. government officials as part of a disclosure process.

A UFO and Humanoid in Space (Ho-Ho-Ho)

by Charles Lear (repost)

Astronauts have reported UFOs since the beginning of human space exploration. Some sightings can be explained as ice particles, satellites or debris, but others remain a mystery. In 1965, a report involving not only a UFO, but an occupant as well, was received by mission control and was recorded in official records. This was on top of another earlier report just a few days earlier.

On December 15, 1965, less than four years before Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon, NASA was carrying out a difficult mission. Gemini 6 was in orbit and heading towards Gemini 7, which had been launched several days before on December 4. Gemini 6 was maneuvered to within a few feet of Gemini 7 to see if NASA had the capability to link two vehicles in space. This was an extremely difficult maneuver at that time and it proved to be successful. Gemini 6 was then moved off and the crews of both craft settled in for a well-earned nap. Aboard Gemini 6 were Walter M. Schirra, Jr. and Thomas P. Stafford. The men onboard Gemini 7 were Frank Borman and James Lovell.

Prior to this moment, on December 4, during their second orbit, Lovell and Borman had a UFO sighting and Borman contacted Capcom:

Borman: Ah Gemini 7 here. Houston, how ya read?

Capcom: Loud and clear seven. Go ahead.

Borman: I got a Bogey at ten o’clock high.

Capcom: This is Houston. Say again seven.

Borman: I said we have a Bogey at ten o’clock high.

Capcom: Gemini 7, is that the booster or is that an actual sighting?

Borman: We have several … looks like debris up here.  Actual sighting.

Capcom: Estimated distance or size?

Borman: We also have the booster in sight.

A Nuts and Bolts UFO Guy and the Marley Woods

by Charles Lear, author of “The Flying Saucer Investigators.”

Ted Phillips

For some UFOlogists, as they go through many years of research and investigation, their opinions and beliefs shift and change. Such was the case for Ted Phillips, whose involvement spanned over five decades from 1964 until his death on March 10, 2020. For much of that time, he specialized in physical trace cases and considered UFOs to be nuts and bolts craft piloted by flesh and blood extraterrestrial creatures. His views changed, particularly due to his investigation of a paranormal hotspot in Missouri that he and fellow researchers called “The Marley Woods” in an effort to conceal its location. Towards the end of his life, he saw the UFO phenomenon as being more complex than he’d previously considered it to be. Read more

A 1665 UFO Report From Stralsund, Germany

by Charles Lear, author of “The Flying Saucer Investigators.”

People have probably been reporting strange things in the sky for as long as they’ve been able to communicate. Chris Aubeck is a researcher who reaches far back in the historical record searching for UFO cases and is a founder of the Magonia Exchange, which is a group dedicated to the collection and archiving of fortean reports. In the June 2015 issue (page 11 of pdf) of Edge Science magazine, he and National Aviation Reporting Center On Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP) associate Martin Shough detailed their investigation of a 1665 report from Barhöfft, Sweden (now part of Germany), near Stralsund, that received a lot of attention at the time. The article is an excerpt from their 2015 book, Return to Magonia. Read more

NASA and the UFO Problem

by Charles Lear, author of “The Flying Saucer Investigators.”

According to the sighting report forms (pages 2 and 4 of pdf) filled out by Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter for the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena and the International UFO Bureau on September 18, 1973, he and 10-12 other men observed a UFO he described as a light that was “at one time, as bright as the moon” for 10-12 minutes in Leary, Georgia. According to the form, they were outside waiting for a 7:30 p.m. Lions Club meeting to start. During Carter’s presidential campaign in 1976, a reporter from the National Enquirer asked him if he would release all the information the government had on UFOs if he was elected. He is quoted in the June 8, 1976 edition of the Enquirer as saying “If I become President, I’ll make every piece of information this country has about UFO sightings available to the public and the scientists. I’m convinced that UFOs exist because I have seen one.” When he was elected, the White House began receiving letters from UFO enthusiasts who wanted to know when he was going to make good on his promise. One of these is included in the article by Philip J. Klass, headlined “NASA, the White House, and UFOs” published in the Spring/Summer 1978 Skeptical Inquirer: Read more

BOOK: THE LITTLE BOOK OF ALIENS

 

  • We may be the last generation that doesn’t know if we’re alone in the Universe.
  • The science of astrobiology is exploding and for the first time we have the capacity to search the distant stars for life, intelligent or otherwise.
  • Given the stunning progress that science is making in the search for cosmic life, should they be taking UFOs seriously as another way to find it?
  • If we find alien life, what should we expect it to be like? Will it be like us? Will we be able to talk to it? Will it want to make contact or conquest?

BIO: Astrophysicist Adam Frank is a leading expert on the final stages of evolution for stars like the sun, and his computational research group at the University of Rochester has developed advanced supercomputer tools for studying how stars form and how they die. A self-described “evangelist of science,” he is also committed to showing others the beauty and power of science, and exploring the proper context of science in culture.

A 1973 UFO and Occupant Report From Bahía Blanca, Argentina

by Charles Lear, author of “The Flying Saucer Investigators.”

Argentina, especially in the area of Bahía Blanca, has had its share of high-strangeness UFO reports ranging from cars being lifted up in the air to abductions. This week, we’re looking the 1973 case involving Dionisio Llanca, a truck driver who reported he’d had an encounter with a UFO and three creatures. When questioned under the influence of hypnosis and Pentothal, he recounted being taken aboard a spacecraft, but could not recall the details when in his regular, conscious state. Whatever criticisms one might have of abduction tales told by people under hypnosis, the circumstances around the case, as reported in newspapers in the region, were unusual and mysterious. Read more
