Many
people have seen UFO around the world .
Reports of sighting
U.F.O. (Unidentified Flying Objects)
have come from 133 countries
of the world.
Out of the 70,000 reports, 95 percent have been dismissed as fake. They have been explained as weather balloons, lightning, rockets, birds and even insects. But the remaining 5 percent have not been explained till today. And these mysterious sightings have been called U.F.O.

In
1978,a unique incident occurred in Melbourne. Pilot Frederick Valentich noticed something approaching towards him. He radioed,
"The thing is orbitting on top of me. It's hovering and it's not
an aircraft. It is " At this point the transmission broke off. Nothing
further was heard from Valentich. It
was thought that his plane
must have crashed into the Tasmanian
Sea. But no traces of the
plane were found.
On the other hand,
there occurred more reports
of mysterious objects in New Zealand. These
bizarre incidents caused Melbourne
television crew to mark
the airroute between Willington and Christ Church. The TV Cameraman
shot some 20,000 frames of 16mm film.
They documented
the presence of some mysterious objects. And when research
was carried out by Dr. Bruce Maccabee,
optical physicist at
U.S. Navy, the film revealed an
intriguing mysterious flying object that oscillated at a constant frequency
from a large bright yellowish
white circular shape to a dim yellow and red triangular shape.
Dr. Maccabee suggested that the object was throwing a
powerful
light, equivalent to 100,000 watts. He also calculated that
each object must be between 60-100 ft.
across and that they might
be travelling at the speed of 3000 miles per hour.

The
history of sighting such objects in the sky is quite ancient.Some
of the sightings were raised to the pedestal of Gods by ancient
people. Even in the biblical Book of Genesis,
Jacob dreamt of
an angel-lined ladder ascending to Heaven.

"a light glimmering at a great distance." Some
scholars have suggested that U.F.O. were
nothing else
but
spaceships from another galaxy which visited earth. The most active
propagator of this theory is the Swiss author, Erich Von Daniken. He published a book in 1968, 'Chariots of the Gods'.
In this
book he suggested that many of man's ancient works, like pyramids and the entire Summerian civilization must have been built
up by the help of the superior beings from other planets. The
serious modern research began sometime in 1947. Kenneth Arnold-a
businessman and a pilot, was flying his own private
plane when suddenly he noticed some disc like objects. The
objects, he explained were flying in a chain and must be having
a speed of 1200 miles per hour.
The
experience of Arnold was boldly
displayed in newspapers.
Following his report, a series of such incidents were reported
from elsewhere. So much so that some claimed that they had
seen seven foot beings wearing transparent suits. While some narrated
that they saw three footdwarfs A few even claimed that American
government had arrested three such mysterious men
and
that President Eisenhower had personally met them. Some still
believe in the veracity of this story.

The
sudden outburst of so many hypotheses forced U.S. Airforce
to tackle the subject seriously. The name given to the team
was Project Blue Book. The research
with barely three to four
people continued for 20 years. The consultant of the team was Dr. J. Allen Hynek, who was an astronomer with Ohio State University.
He later became associate director of the Smithsonian
Astrophysical Observatory
and Chairman of the astronomy department.
For a few years Hynek did not believe in the existence of U F O. But in 1960 he proposed that a proper research should be
conducted in this field.
It
was because of his efforts that presently there exists a centre
for UFO Studies at Evanston, Illinois. The director of the institute
is no other than Dr. Hynek. He has
divided the sighting of
U F O.'s into three classes - nocturned lights, daylight discs and radar visuals.
Hynek
further classifies three different types of encounters first,
second and third kinds. The first encounter of the UFO is simply
seen. It does not have a direct physical trace on the environment
but emotionally it does leave an impact on the observers.
He cites the case of Dale Spaur of Ohio. In the morning of
April 17, 1966, Spaur and another person stopped at the side
of
a road to investigate an abandoned car. Suddenly they saw something
rising above a nearby wood. They chased the object for more
than 70 miles at the speed of 105 miles per hour. In this chase Spaur
was helped by other policemen and radio too. The chase ended
in Conway, Pennsylvania.

In
1970, an incident occurred in Saladare in Ethiopia. A redball, making a sound like an aeroplane swept the area. It destroyed
houses and knocked down the stone walls of a bridge and
uprooted trees. Surprisingly no incident of fire occurred. In 1972,
several mysterious radioactive impressions were
discovered
in Nams Fjora. Contrary to the reports of destruction caused
by UFO, there are many cases in
which patients have got well,
and they found to their amazement that their wounds healed. The
third category of encounter with UFO
is completely different.
In this category some of the creatures of the UFO are said to
be human-like in appearance. Such encounters have usually occurred
with clergymen, housewives, physicians
and farmers.They
claimed that they flew with UFO. But
when asked to prove
it,they
merely said that they were kidnapped by Humanoids
(as UFO
beings have been nicknamed).
Most
amusing are the reactions of the people toward UFO.The
reactions of the people depict their cultural pattern. French curiously
approach towards UFO humanoids, US
citizens react with fear and hostility and the priests of Papua Guinea wave at them.
The
vital question is what are UFOs ?
Since, scientists have failed
to explain them in conventional terms - natural
phenomena, misidentification, fabrication or mental
aberration. A poll done in U.S.
in 1978 indicated that most citizens
took it to be some form of extraterrestrial intelligence.
Some scientists believe that intelligent
life might exist beyond Earth.
However, scientists reject
that UFO's are real.
In
1978, French government appointed a four-member committee,
with a psychologist. They
interviewed 11 UFO incidents
and reached at the conclusion that these people did see some
objects which were beyond the comprehension of human understanding.
US had
earlier appointed a committee under Dr.
Edward U. Condon to speculate about Extraterrestrial
hypothesis. But CondonCommittee gave the judgement about UFO . Condon said that
no such thing can be proved scientifically. Dr. Hynek did not believe
this report. Rather he blamed Condon
for not researching on
Extraterrestrial hypothesis - the cause for which Condon Committee
was formed.
French
researcher Jacques Vallee got interested in the idea. In his
book - "Passport to Magonia",
Vallee dissected the parallels between
close encounters and myths from practically every culture,
which talked about UFO. He came to
the conclusion that -
"In antiquity they were visualized as "gods'; in our time, as interplanetary
travellers . It may be that there is inherent in our species,
a sort of built-in defence mechanism that reveals itself in times
of extreme social stress. And one of its manifestations is the
phenomenon
known as UFO."-
Majority
of scientists believe that UFO is
not a spaceship or any
other earth's peculiarity. They do not know what it is. Although
Dr. Condon categorically stated that all such literature on
UFO should be banned and people who
claim to have seen UFO should
be banished.
