UAPs: an article by: GF Willmetts.

History

It’s time to examine the shift in military attitudes, particularly within the American forces, towards Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), now renamed Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). This name change likely aims to lend new credibility to these occurrences without sparking panic or speculation about alien invasions. The only related news featured aircraft from the USS Nimitz in 2020, capturing a metallic object on visual and instrumental displays as it flew over the sea before accelerating away at speeds surpassing their Mach capabilities. This event couldn’t be kept secret due to the number of witnesses aboard. This marked a pivotal shift in the perception of these phenomena, with the global community slowly acknowledging the possibility of more activities over the decades.

Despite these revelations, life continues as usual, with people absorbing the news without significant changes in their daily lives. Is this because UAPs maintain their distance, or have people’s perspectives shifted subtly? If there has been an increase in military surveillance worldwide, it has been discreet, as the response to UAPs differs significantly from the immediate interception and warning given to Russian aircraft invading British airspace.

UAPs

UAPs can accelerate from a standstill to Mach 12 within seconds without leaving contrails, suggesting similar engine mechanisms across different sightings. This doesn’t necessarily imply a single species or origin but indicates an environmentally friendly technology. Observations show that petrol-driven cars in close proximity to these phenomena stall until the UAPs leave the area. It would be intriguing to know if electric cars are affected similarly, as this seems to be an electromagnetic effect. However, this doesn’t explain the UAPs’ rapid acceleration, potentially hinting at an inertialess drive technology.

The various shapes of UAPs, including cigar and triangular forms, don’t conform to traditional aerodynamic designs, suggesting advanced flight technologies beyond our current understanding. The circular shape of some UAPs might indicate a circular magnet inside, though this is speculative. Compared to these phenomena, terrestrial aircraft seem primitive.

To understand UAPs better, one must examine the available photographs. While there are numerous books on UFOs, few focus solely on photographic evidence, with many being out of print possibly due to rights issues. The 2012 book “UFOs On Film” is a valuable resource, providing insights into sightings before the existence of aircraft. The author, B.J. Booth, also runs a website, www.ufocasebook.com, featuring not only photographs but also film footage of UAPs.

The goal is to identify similar UAPs captured by different individuals in various countries, reducing the likelihood of hoaxes. Approximately a dozen shapes have been identified, with the cigar shape being the least photographed. Recent readings, like John Sladek’s 1978 book “The New Apocrypha: A Guide To Strange Sciences & Occult Beliefs”, provide connections between different sightings, including those of moving light balls, also known as foo fighters, which have been observed since World War II.

Analysis

The different shapes of UAPs might represent technological evolution or variations among species. The triangular UAPs with three lights, first observed in the early 1990s, might represent a new species or technology. The purpose of these lights is unclear, as they might serve functions beyond illumination, such as heat vents or information receptors. Some UAPs don’t exhibit lights, supporting this theory.

Not all photographs are blurry; some clearly show the metallic composition and distinct shapes of UAPs. Considering that the SR71 Blackbird’s hull is made of titanium plates to prevent overheating, UAPs might utilize similar metals or composite alloys. Infrared photographs or footage could provide valuable insights into the heat signatures and energy dispersion of these phenomena.

One might wonder why UAPs don’t mimic terrestrial aircraft if they wish to blend in. Perhaps they prefer their designs, or our aircraft shapes are incompatible with their technology. There hasn’t been any significant conflict between UAPs and humans, suggesting a possible curiosity or observational intent on their part. Military forces have never been authorized to approach or engage with UAPs, possibly due to standing orders or lessons learned from past encounters.

While it’s tempting to assume that different UAPs represent separate colonies or species, this remains speculative. They might take turns appearing in our skies to conceal their numbers or affiliations, without necessarily harboring malicious intentions. Despite the wealth of photographs, film footage, and radar trails, the communication methods of UAPs remain a mystery, as they don’t use conventional radio wavelengths. Various alternative communication methods, including laser signals or communication jammers, might be in use, remaining undetected by our current technology.

Photography

Photography of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) is challenging without auto-focus or anti-shake features on cameras. Images of airborne objects tend to be blurry unless the objects are relatively stationary, which UAPs can be. Given that their electromagnetic drives affect electrical equipment, it’s surprising that modern and mobile cameras aren’t impacted. However, this interference seems to depend on proximity, as evidenced by military aircraft successfully capturing footage of UAPs.

Colony

Discussion about UAPs often centers on sightings rather than their purposes or destinations. It’s presumed that UAPs have an Earth-based operation center. If they possess stealth or invisibility technology, it’s curious why they don’t always use it. For now, let’s hypothesize that UAPs conduct limited flights, unconcerned about human reactions.

Considering the possibility of multiple alien species on Earth, it might be logical for them to live collectively if they maintain friendly relations. The consistent use of electromagnetic engines across different UAP sightings suggests shared or independently developed technology that humanity isn’t ready for.

Motivation

Drawing from science fiction, we might consider principles like the First Directive, which advises against interference with native species. Given humanity’s struggle with issues like global warming, aliens might be waiting for our extinction before claiming Earth. With evidence of their presence dating back centuries, this theory isn’t entirely far-fetched.

Our telescopes, including Hubble and James Webb, have identified many exoplanets in the habitable zone. However, the existence of sentient life on these planets remains uncertain. Humanity, a relatively young species, faces potential extinction, whereas other creatures, like dinosaurs, thrived for longer periods without intelligence.

Abductions and Interactions

Recent abduction reports often involve tagging or testing individuals, possibly to check for infections that might affect either species. Abduction stories have been popularized and fictionalized in media, but real-life abduction cases rarely make headlines. The selection of individuals for abduction doesn’t seem representative of humanity’s diversity, raising questions about the abductors’ intentions and criteria.

Various theories about UAPs and aliens abound, from them being tourists or outcasts to being drones sent by extraterrestrial species in hibernation. The true nature and intentions of these entities remain unknown, sparking imagination and speculation. Their appearance and activities might be influenced by human behavior and global events, or they might be entirely independent, with goals and motivations beyond our understanding.

If UAPs are indeed operated by aliens resembling mythical creatures, it would prompt a reevaluation of our mythologies and beliefs. Regardless of their origins and identities, the presence of UAPs and their apparent interest in nuclear materials send a clear message against nuclear warfare. Perhaps, following Occam’s razor, the simplest explanation is that these entities seek to coexist peacefully with humanity, observing without interfering.

Whether SF

Avoiding science fiction (SF) clichés in discussions like these is challenging. It’s improbable that any abductees, if they exist, are still held captive, reminiscent of the 1977 film ‘Close Encounters Of The Third Kind’. Typically, individuals reportedly abducted for testing are returned within days. These examinations likely focus on identifying infections that could harm either humans or the alleged extraterrestrials. If these beings intended to conquer us, considering their purported long presence, it would likely have happened already.

The image of the ‘Greys’ is so ingrained in our collective consciousness that their actual appearance might not shock us. However, we can only speculate about the appearance of other extraterrestrial species. If the Greys are the only ones conducting abductions for medical purposes, their biology might be significantly different from ours, making them resistant to our diseases. Consequently, other extraterrestrial species might have biologies closer to ours, potentially requiring permanent quarantine to prevent cross-species infection.

While there’s a tendency to believe all extraterrestrials are humanoid, this might be wishful thinking. Nonetheless, reported sightings often describe humanoid beings. Living undetected among us would be challenging for these beings due to potential nutritional differences and susceptibility to diseases, among other factors.

The acknowledgment of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) by various countries’ military and intelligence services is a positive development. This transparency might vindicate those who have reported sightings and could be interpreted as a sign of maturity by these hypothetical extraterrestrial observers.

If extraterrestrials are indeed redistributing various species across different planets and returning to Earth periodically, they might bring back original hominins—albeit more technologically advanced ones. The reaction to such beings, especially if they demonstrate superior leadership qualities, would be fascinating to observe.

One intriguing consideration is how we would perceive extraterrestrials that resemble the alien species depicted in our science fiction media. Would we attribute to them the same traits assigned to their fictional counterparts?

If any of the scenarios outlined above hold true, a formal introduction of extraterrestrials at a neutral location like the United Nations would be preferable to avoid showing favoritism to any particular country. In such a delicate situation, misinterpreting peaceful overtures as declarations of war—due to, say, the presence of giant robots—would be an unfortunate mistake we must avoid.
