1996: SAUDI JETLINER SEES UFO IN TWA 800 CRASH ZONE

A Saudi Airlines jetliner encountered “a bright greenish object” while flying at 12,000 feet early Thursday morning, December 12, 1996. The encounter took place over the ocean about ten miles south of East Moriches, Long Island, New York. According to the USA Radio News broadcast on Friday, the Saudi jetliner was coming into John F. Kennedy International Airport at 6 a.m. when the flight crew spotted “a greenish-white object with a long tail.” The object was traveling from east to west, the same bearing as the Boeing 747, but at a higher altitude. According to the CNN report of the incident, the mysterious object was picked up on the Boeing 747’s cockpit radar set. “At least one crew member saw the object for about […] Read More

1999: RE: The Evidence for Alien Abduction

Recently I posted an extract from John Rimmer‘s _The Evidence for Alien Abduction_ which suggested that there may be gender differences in the way that males and females experience, interpret or report abduction experiences. What bothers me about the whole abduction phenomenon is that it seems absolutely random – at the moment. Now if I were an alien, who would I abduct? That would depend on the purpose of said abduction, of course. *If the purpose was mainly medical or scientific, as in ‘studying that funny species inhabiting planet Earth’ or trying to cross-breed both species, I would abduct people who live alone, in outlying areas. That would eliminate the risk of my alien craft (which you humans call UFOs 🙂 being spotted, and […] Read More

1993: Clinical Discrepancies between expected and observed data in patients reporting UFO Abductions: Implications for Treatment

RIMA E. LAIBOW, M.D. Child and Adult Psychiatry Cerridwen 13 Summit Terrace Dobbs’ Ferry, NY 10522 (914)693-3081 Clinical Discrepancies between expected and observed data in patients reporting UFO Abductions: Implications for Treatment ABSTRACT: IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS PAPER MAKES NO ATTEMPT TO ASSIGN OR WITHHOLD EXTERNAL VALIDITY RELATIVE TO UFO ABDUCTION SCENARIOS. Patients who believe themselves to be UFO abductees are a heterogeneous group widely dispersed along demographic and cultural lines. Careful examination of these patients and their abduction reports presents four areas of significant discrepancy between expected and observed data. Implications for the treatment of patients presenting UFO abduction scenarios are discussed. INTRODUCTION If a patient were to confide to a therapist that he had been abducted by aliens who took […] Read More

1945: 1,400-MILE SPEED IS ATTAINED BY SUPERSONIC FLYING DEVICES

THE NEW YORK TIMES. October 27, 1945. Page-1: 1,400-MILE SPEED IS ATTAINED BY SUPERSONIC FLYING DEVICES By Russell Porter Special to THE NEW YORK TIMES. BUFFALO, Oct. 26–Special flying devices in the supersonic field, built for the Government in cooperation with other organizations, have attained speeds of 1,400 miles an hour, almost twice the speed of sound, Dr. C. C. Furnas, director of the Curtiss-Wright Research Laboratory, revealed here today. Dr. Furnas said that he was speaking of true flying devices, not artillery shells or rockets and that they were being flown in tests “somewhere in the United States.” In some cases the devices have wings, and they do not depend on propellers or atomic energy for power, but this was about the only […] Read More
