A
Short Introduction to Ufology

An
introduction to the field of ufology and the subject of
unidentified flying objects. R
Comprehensive
Assessment of the UFO/ETI Phenomenon
CSETI / Steven M. Greer,
MD
A comprehensive
analysis of the UFO phenomenon, as well as original
research and experiences of members of the CSETI (Center
for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence) CE-5
Initiative Working Group, has enabled us to make some
specific conclusions about UFOs, Extraterrestrial
Intelligence and their motives. The summation of this
analysis, which follows, is intended to assist both
groups and individuals in their efforts to understand
this complex subject. We have recorded only those
conclusions for which we have a high level of
certainty.
Comprehensive
Briefing Document / Project Starlight - Assessment
Summary
Steven Green,
M.D. / CSETI (Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial
Intelligence)
The
summary from the comprehensive assessment of the UFO
phenomenon by CSETI. "Some UFOs are extraterrestrial
spacecraft (ETS) which are piloted by extraterrestrial
biological entities (EBEs) who originate on another
planet, and most likely another star system."

Is
There a Case for UFOs?
Don Berliner, The Fund for UFO
Research, 2002
About the only point that can be made
concerning UFOs without the risk of starting an
unpleasant controversy is that they are supremely
controversial. Any discussion of their nature, their
origins, their significance and, indeed, their very
existence, has led to long-term arguments that have yet
to reach any generally agreed-upon conclusion.
Refuting
Fermi: No Evidence for Extraterrestrial Life?
John B. Alexander, NIDS
(National Institute for Discovery
Science)
To state
there is no evidence suggestive of intelligent
extraterrestrial life simply belies the facts. Decades
in duration and global in nature, there are too many
hard sensor data-points and millions of eyewitnesses to
ignore. It is only through ignorance or pomposity that
one can say no evidence exists. R
Summary
Of The UFO Phenomenon
Mark Cashman, MUFON
Connecticut
If the
only strange things seen in the sky were a few oddly
moving lights, or some specks glinting in the sun, there
would be no UFO problem. But there have been many close
observations of these strange objects. In addition,
physical traces of various kinds have been left behind,
and witnesses have experienced physical and medical
effects, including injury and death. Of all of the
reported sightings, between 5 and 25% (depending on the
sample) remain unidentifiable to expert examination.
These are the real UFOs.
Terminology
of UFOs
Don Berliner, UFO
Briefing Document
The frequently used term "Close
Encounters" was coined by the late Dr. J. Alan Hynek as
part of a terminology designed to categorize different
types of UFO experiences. There are six main
categories R
The Case for
Extraterrestrial UFOs
Don
Berliner, Fund for UFO Research
(FUFOR)
While most
sights described as UFOs turn out to be misidentified
known natural and artificial phenomena, many hundreds do
not. It is these that form the core of the UFO mystery.
That UFOs constitute a distinct category of describable
sights is based on hundreds of highly detailed and
consistent descriptions by professionals (especially
airline and military pilots) of their close-up, broad
daylight observations of unique flying machines.
The Case
for the Extraterrestrial Origin of Flying Saucers
(PDF) 
Stanton T. Friedman, Nuclear
Physicist
Careful
review of the vast array of relevant evidence clearly
leads to the conclusion that some unidentified flying
objects are intelligently controlled vehicles whose
origin is outside our solar system. All the arguments
against the extraterrestrial origin seem to be based
upon false reasoning, misrepresentation of evidence,
neglect of relevant information, ignorance of relevant
technology, or pseudo sophisticated assumptions about
alien appearance, motivation, or government
secrecy.
The
Case for UFO Reality
The
UFO Briefing Document, Don Berliner, et.
al.
If a close
look is taken at the best available evidence, it is
possible to deal with what is known about UFOs, and what
may reasonably be assumed. The point we will make is
that the evidence to support the conclusion that UFOs
are unknown aircraft/spacecraft seems to be
overwhelming. R

UFOs
- A Challenge to Mainstream Science
Patricia B. Corbett
An excellent,
award-winning overview of the UFO phenomenon, the
evidence, and mainstream science. Examines why
scientists do not look at the physical evidence;
describes what the existing evidence is; and guides the
reader to many books, reports and databases that contain
evidence of UFO reality. In addition, lists many of the
world leaders, scientists, astronauts, military
personnel and other credible people who have witnessed
UFOs themselves, adding convincing personal testimony to
the available data. R
