What is a UFO?

UFO, UFO means UFO in Chinese.

UFOs in the air. Internationally known as UFO, commonly known as UFO. There were more than 300 complete witness reports before the 20th century. According to eyewitness reports, UFOs are mostly disc-shaped, spherical and cigar-shaped. Since the late 1940s, the number of UFO sightings has increased dramatically, which has caused a debate in the scientific community. Negative scientists believe that many eyewitness reports are not credible, and UFOs do not exist, but people's illusions or eyewitness misinterpretations of natural phenomena. Affirmers believe that UFOs are a real phenomenon and are being confirmed by more and more facts. By the 1980s, there were about 654.38 million+eyewitness reports all over the world. UFO sightings and sighting reports can be divided into four categories: daytime sightings; Witness the incident at night; Radar imaging; Close contacts and related physical evidence. Some sightings were also filmed. People have made various explanations for UFO, including: ① a natural phenomenon that has not been fully understood; ② Misunderstanding of known objects or phenomena; ③ Psychological phenomena and fraud; (4) The product of advanced extraterrestrial civilization. Many countries in the world study UFOs. There are about 350 monographs and nearly 100 periodicals about UFO. A group of experts from all over the world participated in this work. China has also established a folk academic research group-China UFO Research Association, which is mainly composed of scientific and technological workers. The popular science publication UFO Exploration in China was founded in 198 1.

Uncover the truth of UFO incident: the full record of UFO investigation

One afternoon in March 2004, a routine military flight turned into a crazy search for objects that seemed to fly side by side with the plane. Neither radar nor naked eye can see this flying object; Only infrared rays can detect it. The Mexican military announced the infrared records of the unidentified objects encountered during the flight, which immediately caused an uproar in the media.

Alejandro Franz, the captain of the UFO research group in Mexico, decided to investigate the matter himself. Franz's attitude is suspicious. Although he also believes that UFOs have visited the earth, he always feels that investigators can't draw a conclusion until all possibilities are ruled out.

Captain Franz himself is a pilot. He wants to retrace the flight route of the military plane and turn it around where the pilot meets an unknown object. Because he thinks the unknown object may still be there.

The plane arrived at the first place where it came into contact with UFOs. Franz instructed the pilot to turn to the northwest, which was the direction pointed by the infrared camera at that time. He has seen light in that direction before-this should be the direction that the military is tracking.

Captain Alejandro Franz said, "I have flown over the Gulf of Mexico hundreds of times. You can see these lights in the Gulf of Mexico almost every night all year round. As long as weather conditions and visibility are good, any pilot can see them from 140 and 150 miles away.

Truth: Franz saw the target he was looking for-a huge offshore oil drilling facility-Tarail, about 60 miles from the coast, and nearly 65,438+000 miles from the last contact point. Seen from an altitude of 654.38+05000 feet, the whole building still looks enormous. Some drilling platforms are as high as 40 stories, and the flame can jump to hundreds of feet, which is produced by burning excess gas in order to reduce the pressure inside the oil well.

Franz affirmed that this is the source of UFOs. But will the flames here really affect the infrared surveillance system on military aircraft 100 miles away? Why do they look like they are flying?

Jim Zeflin was asked to explain the problem. His job is to train infrared equipment technicians and issue them with certificates. He himself used this technology to inspect oil refineries and oil rigs.

Jim Zeflin said: "First of all, we are not sure that these objects can fly. Some people may think that these objects are moving, but this is actually an optical illusion. This is because clouds move relative to objects, thus creating hallucinations. Other than that, there is no other explanation. It is quite possible that what we see is an unusually high temperature heat source. In this case, because we are at sea, it may be the reflection of the heat source on the sea surface. It may be flames and smoke, or it may just be flames. I hope UFOs exist, but I can't find any evidence here. "

Modern people love and hate UFOs and alien pilots; This situation has been going on for more than fifty years. Others think that the history of aliens is much longer than ours; They occasionally make some efforts to lead mankind in the right direction. Otherwise, how could there be the Egyptian pyramids? And Nazca paintings in Peru can only be seen from the air? How could Europeans in the Iron Age draw humanoid creatures in spacesuits?

Jamie Mosan, a UFO investigator, said, "These creatures who have a way to come to earth may be smarter than us."

Ben Redford, the executive editor of Skeptic, said: "This possibility certainly exists. Maybe aliens came to the earth and helped the ancient Egyptians build the pyramids. The problem is: there is no relevant evidence. This assumption implies that human beings are incapable of completing this project, which is an insult to human beings. "

Complete record of UFO investigation

All strange theories were overturned in the face of scientific evidence.

People who specialize in this kind of research call themselves UFOs. They divide intimate contact and whispering between people into four categories:

The first kind of contact refers to witnessing UFOs at close range without leaving any concrete physical evidence. An amazing encounter over Mexico one afternoon falls into this category.

The second contact is that in addition to witnessing UFOs, there are concrete and tangible traces of alien visits. Crop circles that have caused a lot of controversy can be classified as this kind of contact. The strange circular pattern that appeared on a meadow in Mexico not long ago is thought to be related to UFOs.

Of course, there is the famous third kind of close contact, which is a kind of real contact-usually through telepathy, talking to aliens.

The last one is the fourth kind of close contact, that is, being kidnapped by aliens.

Let's start with the most basic question: when did humans get hooked on UFOs? Not surprisingly, modern people's attention to UFOs began in the early years of the Cold War and gradually warmed up. At that time, people used to look up at the sky to guard against reconnaissance planes and flying missiles. The event that really set off an upsurge in the world happened in June 1947.

At that time, Kenneth Arnold was flying over the Cascade Mountains in Washington State on a private jet when he suddenly saw a blue and white flash in the distance. Looking closely, he clearly saw some UFOs flying over the mountains, which was very fast and flexible.

Arnold told the story to the local newspaper, which triggered a UFO craze. In the same year, another landmark event happened later, and its influence continues to this day. Believers are filled with awe, while doubters are bored. This is the Roswell incident.

In the suburb of Roswell, New Mexico, some strange debris appeared on a farm near the US Army Airport. The next day, a local newspaper published an exclusive report, boldly claiming that an alien spaceship was captured by the military.

Truth: The military quickly came out and explained that these fragments were actually the remains of a weather balloon. But this explanation is not enough to save the situation; What's more, they really want to cover up the truth: the so-called weather balloon is actually a spy balloon that is being secretly tested. This is an epoch-making beginning.

UFO craze and Roswell incident.

After Roswell, thousands of UFO sightings appeared, and the "conspiracy theory" was heated up. There are countless photos and images of flying saucers everywhere; Some are not very convincing, while others are very real.

In the relevant records, the most prominent thing happened in Mexico City-at noon that day, darkness enveloped the city, and dozens of people photographed mysterious objects from outer space at the same time.

1991July 1 1 With the total solar eclipse, Mexico City gradually fell into darkness. Thousands of people pointed their cameras at the sky to photograph this spectacle. UFO researcher Guillermo Alekin will never forget that scene. Guillermo Arreguin said: "I went to the roof to shoot the total solar eclipse, but I saw a bright spot in the sky. So, I aimed the camera at it. I realized that I was shooting a UFO swinging back and forth, not a planet or a star. "

In the next few days, UFO sightings appeared everywhere, which really made the media busy. Jamie Mosan, a famous investigative journalist in China, hosted a 10 hour program to discuss UFO sightings. He invited the audience to go back and look at the photos taken with the home camera at that time.

Jamie Mosan said: "After this program was broadcast, many people called to say that they saw it. You can clearly see that a luminous object looks like a metal with a black shadow underneath. This is a silver dish-shaped object. We don't think this is a star, nor is it a distortion problem of the camera. This video proves that flying saucers do exist. That day completely changed my life, because from that moment on, people just wanted to hear me talk more about UFOs. "

Others think the evidence is not that influential. Mario mendez acosta, a writer, once debated with Mosan about the solar eclipse of 199 1 year. He believes that the public's enthusiasm for UFOs is mostly caused by Mossan himself, not by alien visits.

Truth: To uncover the truth about UFOs in Mexico, you may not have to go to other planets to find clues. Tom cullen, a Swedish astronomer and photographer, believes that UFO witnesses in Mexico City did see strange scenes, which did not belong to the earth. But not necessarily by aliens. In the video of Mexico City, it was dark because of the solar eclipse. You can see several clouds floating in the sky, and then the camera zooms in and aims at the object.

There is a computer software in the market that can describe the sky anywhere in the world on any day. With it, Tom can recreate everything that happened over Mexico City. The computer is simulating the moment when the moon passes in front of the sun. The sky darkened and several celestial bodies lit up. At the location where the UFO was shot, an unusually bright object appeared.

Tom cullen said, "We can see Venus very clearly here. I can say with certainty that this is the highlight of people shooting in Mexico City. "

Looking out from the sun, the second star is Venus, which is second only to the sun and the moon in brightness in the sky. However, why does it look like a vague alien spacecraft? Tom believes that this is the problem of the camera itself-when the lens focuses on the bright spot in the distance, it produces a three-dimensional effect. The black line on the picture is not the chassis of any object, but the illusion caused by the camera. In this way, a very ordinary celestial body has become somewhat mysterious.

UFO during the total solar eclipse in Mexico city

Daily celestial movements may not explain all UFO sightings in Mexico. This strange-looking object hovers near the active volcano of Popocatepet. This is obviously not a planet or a star, and it is definitely not like an airplane from the way it moves. This is an object photographed by architect Mario Ramirez, who lives at the foot of this volcano. Like many local residents, he also believes that volcanic activity will attract UFOs to visit Mexico. He said that at 1988, he saw a formation of spacecraft flying into the crater.

Mario Ramirez said, "I saw a very big spaceship, about 300 meters in diameter, with many lights and windows on it. It rotates around the center and then flies to the volcano. I once saw that about 30 of those spacecraft formed a group, flew out of the crater at a very fast speed, and then flew into space. They live in a volcano. "

In 2000, Ramirez was studying a group of rocks near the volcano, which he thought might be some kind of ancient astronomical symbol. At this time, something caught his attention.

Mario Ramirez said, "I was on the rock, observing Popocatepete volcano. I set up the camera, and at that moment, I suddenly saw a flash of light. I wonder: Why is there a flash on the mountain? " Ramirez later discovered that he was shooting an object hovering in the distant mountains. It hovered in the air for nearly 2 minutes, and then disappeared behind the peak.

Truth: What does disappointing expert tom cullen think of this mysterious object? Tom cullen said: "I think the video about the volcano is like a close-up. Whatever the intention, it may just be a big bird. " If you look closely, you will find that this thing is flapping something, like an extension of the body. I don't think this is an alien ship. "

Next, we need to look at some traces of suspected UFOs and see what this may be. In September 2004, a series of circles appeared on a small piece of remote land near Guadalajara. The owner of this land invited Daniel dominguez, an architect and UFO researcher, to investigate the matter. They spent several nights on field trips and saw spherical light with their own eyes.

Daniel dominguez said: "It passed directly above our heads, and the brightness became stronger and stronger, then gradually weakened and continued along the original route. Domingos said that light changed the grass, which is beyond the reach of man-made objects. "

During the four weeks, they drew a circle and monitored its changes. At the same time, they collected soil samples to test the radiation. Domingos believed that the circle was caused by radiation.

Daniel dominguez said: "From the evidence we have, I tend to think that these circles are the products of some kind of light energy, and the objects that produce this light energy come from other planets."

But Dr Laura guzman thinks the answer may lie in the soil. She is a mycologist at the University of Guadalajara, and can be said to be a female authority in the field of fungal research in Mexico. But what is the relationship between fungi and UFOs?

Laura guzman said: "This is a very large mycelium, which usually grows around the roots of wood or plants."

The mycelium will grow outward from the center of the circle, so it is often called "fairy circle". Some fungi will kill a whole circle of grass, while others will make the grass grow better and greener than the surrounding area-especially after absorbing rotten organic matter, such as dead roots.

Truth: Laura guzman said, "Wood can stimulate the growth of fungi, so sometimes there are many fairy circles on the ground, because wood is buried under the soil. From a scientific point of view, I think that fungi caused the fairy circle and there is no other explanation. "

There are thousands of fungi in the soil, only 50 of which are known to cause the fairy circle. In order to prove that the Fairy Circle is caused by fungi, Dr. guzman took the collected samples back to the laboratory and observed them under a microscope. She had to find evidence-tiny protrusions on a single fungal cell confirmed her guess.

So, why did Domingos think that these circles were caused by the radiation of UFOs? Dr guzman tested the samples and found no obvious signs of radiation. So the second kind of intimate contact turned out to be contact with fungi.

UFO is the abbreviation of "UFO". Most of this UFO looks like a plate, so it is also called "UFO". There are many records about UFOs at all times and in all countries. With the development of space industry, people can explore more and more distant space and learn more about the universe. Therefore, in recent decades, there has been a UFO craze all over the world, many books and periodicals have been published, many research institutes, associations and clubs have been organized, and a series of research reports have been published. Many articles and books in this field have also been translated and published in China.

China is an ancient civilization with rich history books. In these books, there are many records about UFOs. For example, the Chronicle of Emperor Cheng records that "we will meet again in autumn and August in the second year of the founding of the People's Republic of China (32 BC)", that is, besides the moon, there is also a luminous object in the sky. Hanshu records that "in the second year of Jianyuan (AD 39), Wu Shen appeared day and night in summer and April", that is, luminous objects similar to the sun appeared in the sky at night. According to Historical Records, one evening in the sixth year of Xuanzong (A.D. 12 19), a big star flew from the southwest, and drums sounded in the air.

Many places in China have their own historical records, called "local chronicles", which record the local astronomy, geography, climate, population and customs, among which there are many records about UFOs. "Songjiang Fu Zhi Xiang Zhi Yi" said that it was like a flying object in a house, flying headless and disorderly to the sea, leaving a ditch in its path; "Records of Jingxian County's Disaster and Ji Lu" records that something passed by, and Zhang started like a basin cover, radiant, flying from northeast to southwest; "Xiajin County Chronicle Continuation" records that a fireball flies in the northwest, northwest to northeast, southeast and northwest.

The records in recent decades are more detailed and vivid. 1947 July 18 Wujin news reported (Changzhou, Jiangsu) that at 9: 20 pm, a football-sized CD moved slowly from southwest to northeast for about 10 minutes; 1in July, 965, more than 30 geologists in Xinjiang recorded that in the evening, when enjoying the cool air, they found a light in the sky. An oblate object flies from west to east with a height of about 3000-4000 meters. It is yellow and white, falling, rebounding, falling again, and gradually disappearing after a few minutes. The next day, everyone looked separately and found no trace. 1977 In Yuncheng, Shanxi Province, Warrior Chai recorded that at 8: 30 pm, a disc-shaped white shiny object was found in the north, with a light band around it, which was bigger than the moon and flew to the southwest.

Extract a few more foreign reports. On August 3rd 1976, at 0: 25pm, the pilot flying from Nasher to Tunisia reported that a UFO flying from north to south was found near1000m. Five UFOs flew from north to south, were seen by citizens and captured by radar. US Army Captain Derek described an incident that happened when he was listening in the air: the base ordered the fighter plane to "take off urgently" to approach a UFO from the north, and two planes took off. The pilot reported that "it was a round metal object with strong light, like a basin, without wings or signs, and it was an object that had never been seen before". The base ordered the missile to "shoot it down" and the captain replied "I understand". The pilot of another plane was in an abnormal state, and his speech was confused and he couldn't understand. Colonel William Hamm, a pilot of the US Air Force, told his personal experience: 1950 12.7. I was flying a jet fighter and suddenly received an urgent order of "UFO flying" ... I found that thing, which shone brightly from a distance. The radar on the plane also caught it, and the speed was incredible. Suddenly, the UFO seemed to have something wrong, suddenly tilted and headed straight for Mexico. When Captain Baggins and I came back, we borrowed a small plane from a nearby civil airport to look at the crash site. From the top, there is a camouflage net, and many Mexican soldiers are digging it. When we got off the plane, we could clearly see that there was a white luminous metal disk that we had never seen before, with a diameter of about 10 meter, which was obliquely inserted into the ground and semi-buried. There is a dome of1.8m on the disk. When we get off the plane, we can see it again.

Unidentified flying objects appear in vast areas. They are disc-shaped, spherical, cigar-shaped and cylindrical ... Workers, farmers, soldiers, teachers, students, cadres and soldiers all claim to have witnessed them ... The ancients lacked scientific knowledge and gave them the superstitious color of "god" and "ghost". Later, some people said that it was Venus, the light of fishing teams, the light of insects and the light of thunder and lightning. With the development of the aerospace industry, we can send an aircraft to the moon, land on Venus and Mars, and fly to Uranus, Neptune and the edge of the solar system ... So, will UFOs also be an aircraft launched by intelligent creatures on a planet for exploration? UFOs remain a mystery. What is this? From where? What does it have to do with humans? ..... Humans are seriously thinking and hard exploring.

You won't be comprehensive. The so-called UFO means UFO in Chinese, but it is not just a flying saucer. All unexplained flying objects or phenomena are observed by human beings, including flying saucers, atmospheric phenomena, unrecorded celestial phenomena formed by foreign celestial bodies and so on.

UFO, commonly known as flying saucer, is the abbreviation of undefined flying object, which refers to all unidentified or unidentified flying objects; UFOs identified by experts and scientists. This word first appeared in the investigation report of the US Air Force in the 1940s.

According to thousands of UFO reports, this phenomenon can be roughly divided into five categories:

Known flying objects or known natural phenomena, known living substances, such as balloons, spacecraft, satellite rocket wreckage, insects, birds, etc. ;

Second, hallucinations and psychological phenomena of certain social groups or individuals in specific circumstances;

Third, the unknown natural form, biologists believe that there should be a fourth form in nature besides solid, liquid and gas, but this has not been confirmed;

4. Unknown natural phenomena, such as the earth's light fireball and spherical lightning plasma;

Five, people can't make, can't fully understand the intelligent aircraft or flying objects, that is, people often say "flying saucer" and "alien".

On June 24th, 1947, American businessman Kenneth Arnold was flying over Mount Rainier, Washington, when he suddenly saw nine luminous objects moving rapidly in formation like plates. This is the beginning of modern people's research on UFOs, but it is not the first time that humans have seen UFOs. It has been recorded in The Classic of Mountains and Seas-Ancient Natural History of China in the Spring and Autumn Period, and this kind of UFO has also been recorded in later history books. /kloc-the academy of sciences in the 0 th and 9 th centuries also has detailed reports. In addition, there are also records about UFOs in prehistoric ruins, buildings, rock paintings and relics of various countries. 1942, a foreigner took a UFO photo in the street of Tianjin, which was considered by experts to be the earliest UFO photo data of human beings.

According to hundreds of thousands of UFO reports, phenomena can be roughly divided into five categories: first, known flying objects or known natural phenomena and known living bodies, such as balloons, airships, satellite rocket wreckage, insects and birds; Second, hallucinations and psychological phenomena of certain social groups or individuals in specific circumstances; Third, unknown natural life, biologists believe that there should be a fourth kind of life in nature besides solid, liquid and gas, but this has not been confirmed; 4.
