Essay on the Possible Correlazion Between the Geographical Distribution and the Directions of UFOs Based on the Spanish Wave of 1968-1969
13-34
Abstract: A study of the frequency of occurrences and distribution of the flight directions of UFOs during the Spanish wave of 1968-1969 shows that, when the three parameters of direction, course, and frequency of occurrence of said direction, are considered as vectors, the resultant sum of these vectors indicates precisely the centers of maximum UFO information: that of aerial observations (NE Spain), when considering the directions in which the objects were seen to appear; and that of Type I cases (SW Spain), when considering the directions in which they where seen to disappear.
Some subsequent considerations show that the line which joins both centers of information, NE-SW, seems to play an important part in the development of the geographical location of the sightings of the wave.

UFO Activity: Cosmic Consciousness Conditioning?
55-62
Abstract: This paper describes a possible approach to the study of UFO reports: a tentative set of hypotheses which may explains the 'physical', 'biological', 'psycho-social', and 'spiritual' implications of UFO phenomena. UFO reports are considered in light of the hypothesis that the UFO experience tends to increase the level of cosmic consciousness of the UFO witness. Also, the emerging pattern of UFO reports is compared with the views of persons who claims to have obtained prophetic visions of events which are to occur during the next twenty-five years.

Are UFOs Poisson-Distribuited?
65-71
Abstract: This paper introduces a new concept in the study of UFO waves. Little has been done with the abundant wave data of the past. The POISSON distribution, a statistical distribution for random and rare occurrences, is explained and applied to the author's data on the 1954 fall wave at Austria. It is shown that the 94 cases reported in the 12 week-period are not related in a casual sense and therefore no 'outside driving force', but a heavy publicistic amplification effect on the reporting of new cases is likely to have produced the 'wave' structure. As the POISSON concept may shake several other 'wave' structures at closer examination, general effects of this Austrian result and possible further tests on the validity of the concept are discussed.

A Statistical Approach to the UFO Basic Data for the Institution of an "Recognition Filter"
72-105
Abstract: This paper aims to show a new statistical method to process data interesting UFO research. Mainly it is shown how one can gather data referring to the same set of phenomena or similar type objects, out of the spread-out group of UFO reports. All this will be obtained through the analysis of statistical relations shown by the different sets of data under quantitative aspects through the analysis of correlation coefficients among one sight and the other ones. After a theoretical explanation we will present an easy example which may show in practice to implement such a research. Anyway this example refers to a real situation, even if the set of data is not a very large one, but which is a typical and frequent case. The most important conclusion drawn which appears from this numerical set, the 'filter', in fact allows to recognize the phenomenon besides imprecision and randomness of the gathered data.

On the chance of witnessing celestial or aerial events
15-29
Abstract: The chances of witnessing celestial or anomalous aerial events are derived by considering the volume of sky available primarily to the ground-based observer as compared to the entire earth's atmosphere at a height of about 15 kilometers. The fraction of time spent observing compared to a twenty-four hour day and the fraction of volume of sky for observing are also used. Aircraft pilots' and astronomers' chances are also given some consideration. The results are applied to the chances of detecting meteors and anomalous aerial events. The conclusions indicate that the chance of witnessing an anomalous event (UFO) is extremely low and even improbable. Thus reconciliation with data gathered on reports of witnessing anomalous events implies a 'selectivity'. A further conclusion is that the presence of a few fast-moving anomalies could account for the global scale of the reports of anomalous aerial phenomena.

Anomalous lights in the daylight sky
31-67
Abstract: Several observers, one of them a technical competent employee of a military installation, observed two very bright lights or luminous objects in a clear, midday, summer sky. The lights were observed to remain apparently stationary and also to approach and recede along different trajectories. The duration of the observation was from three to five minutes. Despite an intensive investigation the objects remain unidentified.

Dramatic chase in Spain
71-85
Abstract: A family of five, returning home at night by back roads, was followed by a bright light which chased the car persistently over a distance of about 40 Km for almost an hour.
When approaching the village of Cheste (near Valencia, Spain), the UFO, now at a close range, moved ahead and above the car, and extended legs.
The incident was terminated by the approach of another vehicle, moving in the opposite direction on that usually deserted road. One of the witnesses (age 15) was violently ill during the incident, and indisposed for some time afterwards. Damage to the battery of the automobile was attributed to the incident, and it had to be replaced the following day.

1954/55 The Austrian share
87-134
Abstract: Masses of UFO experiences were reported at Austria in the 1954/55 period 99 of which remained unidentified. The hard core of the material consists of gendarmerie/police reports collected by the Austrian government and for the first time released to Ernst Berger in 1973. 28 case histories, the most interesting part of the material, are presented in detail. By means of a full statistical analysis methodically equal to an earlier study by BERGER on 1972-77 Austrian report patterns structures of the 1954/55 flap are extracted and compared with the results of VALLEE, BERGER and others.
The "CE III"
J. SCORNAUX
Considerations on the nature of humanoids
137-176
Abstract: The nature of humanoids reported by UFO witnesses remains very controversial. Their existence as intelligent extraterrestrial beings meets very much reticence in the human mind. There is undoubtedly a mental block caused by fear, but there are also more elaborated arguments. The resemblance between Man and humanoids is one of these, but the question of the resemblance that other intelligent beings may bear to us remains very open among biologists. I do not think that human imagination can explain the appearance of humanoids. In general, they resemble us both too much and too little. An argument against the material nature of the humanoids is that their morphology is far too variable from one case to another. Several answers are possible to this objection. But a more fundamental argument is based on the instant or on the spot disappearance of humanoids. I now give a few examples of this behaviour, both in the open air and in confined spaces. I propose the explanation that these cases are projections of images, created either by electromagnetic waves or by some parapsychological means. But all the ufonauts are not images, or perhaps only a part of the observation corresponds to a projection because some of them left footprints or had physical contact with the witnesses. I also give a few examples of such cases. I present several hypotheses about the nature of material humanoids and discuss the concept of a 'reassuring' hypothesis. I propose foe discussion the hypothesis that part of the humanoids might be human beings captured by the beings governing the UFO phenomenon.

Using pendulum technique in the investigation of UFO experiences
179-218
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to provide information about technique for uncovering subconscious memories, so that UFO field investigators may consider the technique for possible use in investigations. The pendulum technique is described, with references to historical development and contemporary usage. Procedures are presented for learning the use of the pendulum technique, including illustrations to guide the interested reader. A brief review is presented of the literature on field investigation of UFO experiences; an emphasis is given to the reports of Close Encounters of the Third Kind (CE III), including reports of 'loss of time', or partial amnesia, which may occur during UFO sightings. Results of using the pendulum technique are described in two UFO cases: one case obtained preliminary information about a possible 'loss of time' experience during a UFO sighting; the second case obtained preliminary information about a possible 'hidden' UFO experience. The UFO cases are presented as examples for preliminary investigation of the CE III experiences. When field investigators obtain information about CE III cases, they are encouraged to consider possible arrangements for a consultant in hypnosis to assist UFO witnesses in exploring and evaluating their subconscious memories of their UFO experiences.
Abstract: In an attempt to evaluate objectively the claims of UFO 'abductees', imaginary abductions were induced hypnotically in a group of volunteers who had non significant knowledge of UFOs. Eight situational questions comprising the major components of a typical abduction account were asked of each subject.
Although the researchers expected major dissimilarities, an averaged comparison of data from four imaginary and four 'real' abduction narratives showed no substantive differences. Also, extensive patterns echoing well-established details from 'real' UFO reports emerged from the 'naive' subjects' imaginary sessions.
There is as yet no satisfactory explanation for the patterns and other similarities between imaginary and 'real' abductions. But, more significantly, there are parallels between these patterns and the 'image constants' or recurrent descriptions of forms, color, and movement reported by subjects in drug-induced hallucination experiments, and in so-called 'death' narratives, among other mental processes. Thus there is reason to accept at least some parts of 'real' abductees' stories as accurate reflections of what their sensory mechanisms have reported.
However, despite the many similarities, there are crucial differences - such as alleged physical effects and multiple witnesses - which argue that UFO abductions are separate and distinct from imaginary and hallucinatory experiences. With these distinctions in mind, an abduction model is proposed:
Witnesses really perceive images - from whatever source - such as bright and pulsating lights, lattice-textured forms moving randomly in the sky, lighted tunnels, humanoid figures, etc. These abduction constants are combined with data from the imagination, memory, and existing UFO data known by witnesses to create a 'real' UFO encounter. The subjective reality of the intense hallucinatory structure convinces the witnesses that the entire experience is a physically real event. Subsequently they may report the 'truth' as they have experienced it, although actual occurrences remain unclear.
The complexities of the UFO phenomenon are affirmed by the above model since still unexplained are many puzzling matters, including the greatest mystery of all, the nature of the stimulus which initiates the imagery in the witness and so triggers the abduction sequence.
The writer prefers a dualistic UFO hypothesis. But while there is a continuing absence of unambiguous physical evidence, this study concludes that UFOs are - in psychological terms - unquestionably real, and further, that non-physical UFO research is promising.

UFO drawings by witnesses and non witnesses: is there somethings in common (part II)
Abstract: Previously, the author found that no readily discernable differences could be found between drawings of 'what a UFO looks like' by people who claims to have seen one from others who claim never to have seen one (Haines, 1977). Since this finding may have resulted simply from the relatively small sample size (136 valid drawings) further tests were administered. The mean results of 458 more valid drawings are presented here. The results may be summarized by pointing out that the 'Have' seen group drew (1) a higher percentage of valid i.e., not ludicrous drawings, (2) a higher percentage of UFO shapes at some angle relative to the edge of the (drawing) card, (3) a higher percentage of two or more shapes on the card, (4) a lower percentage of shapes in side or isometric view, and (5) a lower percentage of symmetrical drawings. Neither the mean width-to-height ratio of the UFO outline shape or its dome (if drawn) differed between the two participant groups. Also, the other major UFO outline and dome measurements were not drawn differently by either group. Finally, and perhaps more significantly, the 'Have' seen group drew a smaller number of miscellaneous details such as apertures (Windows?), markings, wavy lines around the shape, etc. These findings are compared to those obtained in the previous study and discussed in terms of the perceptual impact the UFO encounter appears to have on one's willingness and/or ability to reproduce a UFO shape.

A theoretical framework for the problem of non-contact between and advanced extra-terrestrial civilization and mankind: symbolic sequential communication versus non-symbolic non-sequential communication
273-288
Abstract: A general set of ideas is proposed to suggest that advanced extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) might, probably, never be interested in communicating with such a primitive species as ours.
According to the author, symbolic sequential language is the most primitive kind of language intelligent beings may use. Advanced intelligences may better communicate via a non-symbolic non-sequential language, which is able to convey much more bits of information per unit of time at a low cost of distortion, thus nearly eliminating the problem of cloudy symbolic concepts which is so huge a factor of noise in human communication.
What is most interesting is that we may well be in presence of a terrestrial species having evolved a more advanced mode of communication: the dolphin!

A statistical survey among Italian astronomical observatory
307-314
Abstract: This statistical survey was performed between the years 1977 and 1978, among the most important 14 astronomical and astrophysical observatories in Italy. It had the purpose to probe the opinion of a major slice of the Italian scientific community about the UFO subject and to know whether the staff of some observatories had directly sighted some UFO phenomena. This informative test did not supply us with new and unexpected information. However it is a clear document emphasizing the mediocre standard of information and sensibility of the scientific environment upon the UFO question.
Such an investigation, if addressed to other scientific circles too and regularly repeated, could be a suitable way to assess time to time possible developments of the scientific opinion about the UFO subject.

Narrow-Band Acoustic Analisys of a Recoreded UFO Sound
1-12
Abstract: The recorded sound ascribed to the St. Helens, Oregon UFO is analyzed and found to
have unique properties: the absence of even harmonics and of any frequency higher than
3000 Hert2. While such acoustic composition can be produced a rtific ia lly by, say, an
electronic synthesizer, it appears to have no easily identifiable natural origin.
Thus, even apart from possible UFO connection, the sound is of considerable scientific interest

The McMinnville Photos
13-68
Abstract: On June 8, 1950 the local newspaper in McMinnville, Oregon published two photos of
a 'flying saucer" which had been taken by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Trent, along with a brief
report on when and how the photos had been taken. The story was circulated nationally by
the International News Service, which also obtained the original negatives but did not
return them to the Trents. The photos received national attention viien the Colorado
investigators analyzed them. The conclusion presented in the "Condon Report" was that
the evidence was essentially consistent with the claim that "an extraordinary flying
object. .. fiew within sight of two witnesses."
Later investigation indicated that the evidence referred to in the Report was not
conclusive and that there seemed to be some discrepancies between the photographic
evidence and the witnesses' story. A subsequent investigation of the original negatives
reconfirmed Hartmann's conclusion about excessive brightness of the bottom of the image
of the unidentified object (U0) and eliminated the claim that there was a relatively long
time lapse between the photos. Computer-aided analysis by CSV) revealed no indication of
a suspending device and did suggest a possibly excessive edge distortion which could be
attributable to atmospheric distortion if the object were far away, as suggested by the
photometric analysis.
I have carried out an extensive investigation into the background of the sighting
since 1974 and have concluded from communication with people who have met the Trents that
they could not perpetrate a hoax like this. I have concluded also that it cannot be shown
from either verbal or photographic evidence that the case was a hoax. When considered
along with other evidence that strongly suggest that unusual objects have been seen by
many technically trained, credible observers (see, for example, Project Blue Book Special
Report f!4 ), the Trent case is especially valuable because of the clarity of the photos.
