With so much information in circulation about UFO encounters and
extra
terrestrials that even the most skeptical person finds it
difficult to ignore the evidence supporting their existence. Equally
hard is to argue that every one who claims to have seen an UFO or
extra terrestrial is faking it. We have experiences of people showing
great courage and making immense personal sacrifices in order to stand by what they have seen or experienced.
We cannot set them aside as instances of aberrations of human behavior.
In some ways the UFO experiences remind us of the religious
experiences people undergo. People have been claiming to have
experienced self- realization for centuries or encounters with higher celestial beings
and incredible miracles. We
have people amidst us who have undergone psychic experiences, near death experiences and
paranormal behavior. Life changing events do take place in the lives
of numerous people during spiritual practices. Can we say that these
people are making false claims or acting under self induced hallucinations?
For a subjective experience to be
accepted objectively by others, either it must be experienced
simultaneously by more than one within the same space and time or it
must be comparable with
similar events experienced by others in different times and space. The UFO
encounters experienced by a wide section of people across the globe and
over a time frame of several centuries stand this test.
The available accounts of UFO encounters help us to draw some
hypothetical conclusions about their shape and appearance and the way they work.
Hypothetically speaking, if the UFOs exist,
they should exist in different shapes, sizes, models and versions. Like
the our automobiles and aeroplanes they must be products of years of scientific research
and hard labor supported by large facilities and complex manufacturing
processes. They should
come from numerous unrelated and even competing sources as well.
Also, the
UFOs need not have to exist hear and
now. They need not have to exist in our time and space. Most important of all
they need not have to fit into our theories of existence and our field of sensory experience. Some of
the UFOs encountered in our environment may be mere
projections, a flash from the past or a glimpse of the future. People may
see them because of an opening of the mind, or the flowering of a secret capability or
hidden potential with in them that alludes to a reality that is incomprehensible in
the present but a possible reality in some distant future.
Possible
features and mechanism of the UFOs
1. Interaction with light
The UFOs seem to be capable of absorbing and reflecting the light in
ways not yet understood by us. Since they reflect the light differently
or filter the spectrum of light in peculiar ways,
they are difficult to be seen or photographed. The way they appear to
us, such as cylindrical, circular or conical objects, may be even
misleading as they interact with the light differently. This seems to be one strong reason why we have such poor
visual evidence of the UFOs. The following incidents are a few examples
that explain why it is difficult to detect the UFOs in our environment.
- What is interesting is that the landmark is less
than 40 feet high, and the area it was photographed is a high
street. There were a lot of shoppers that day and the public never
noticed it. It was hanging there, invisible except to the camera.
Looking objectively, the object would have been quite large had it
been visible. It made no noise. (source: UFOEvidence.org)
- The date was Saturday, August 6th at about 5:00 PM.
I did not see the object in the sky. It only became visible when I
downloaded the images onto my computer. (source: UFOEvidence.org)
2. Camouflage techniques
Probably the UFOs are also capable of merging into the background
color seamlessly as many animals on this planets do to escape detection.
This could be one reason why people often see UFO intermittently as if
they are there one minute and gone the next. Common
sense dictates that if you are on an interstellar voyage venturing into unknown frontiers
you have to develop very sophisticated and superior
methods of camouflage to stay undetected and face the enemy in the event of a strategic combat.
3. Biomechanical devices or biological creatures
The UFOs do not seem to be purely mechanical objects. Some of them may be
biomechanical devices capable of learning, adapting and surviving, made of particles and energies that are beyond the realm of our
current knowledge of consciousness and quantum physics. Think of them as
some
kind of giant artificial intelligences programmed to travel long
distances guided by their own intelligence, making rationale decisions
or meeting with situational challenges and survival issues as they
journey from one point to another within the vast spaces of the
universe. Some UFO may be giant sized pure biological creatures,
floating in the interstellar space, living in small communities and
capable of traveling at the speed of light. Like the giant whales often
pushed to the sea shore, they may enter a planetary space by accident or
chance.
3. The UFOs defy or repel gravity
The UFOs seem to be capable of absorbing, controlling, channeling, reflecting
and even repelling gravitational and magnetic forces in a manner
somewhat similar to the way the earthly objects interact with light
energy. This capability gives them some
superior advantages. First the UFO would never have to worry about
coming into collision with any planetary object or being sucked in by a
giant planet or a black hole. Secondly it can easily
deflect any missile or object directed at it by a hostile force. Thirdly the
UFO doesn't have to spend extra energy or thrust to escape the
gravitational field of each cosmic object they explore. Fourthly it
would keep the internal systems of the UFO free from the disturbances
caused by the gravitational forces. Most important
of all such a mechanism would render the UFOs capable of moving at
extraordinary speeds with in the environment of a planetary object
without the need to undergo major adjustments.
Hostile of Friendly ?
It is not necessary that the UFO are keeping a regular and continuous
watch of the earth. It is not necessary that they have any ambitious
project to invade the earth or occupy this planet. The universe is vast
and unlimited. There is no scarcity of any material or planetary
resources in this universe. With
countless galaxies and myriad planets the universe beckons and
challenges superior intelligences to explore and understand its
immensity and mystery rather than conquer and control some superfluous
objects for some short term gain.
It is however possible that there are some inimical
and hostile forces out there and someday one such force may come out
with a grand scheme to outwit us and destroy us for some ulterior
motive. But if we ever come into contact with them or have to face them,
I believe the survival mechanism in our collective consciousness will
equip us with necessary knowledge and skills to deal with the
situation. Or else we will have to undergo intense struggle to prove our
worthiness in the process of natural selection on the universal scale.
Aren't we a threat to the UFOs?
One question that needs to be answered by us someday is when human
beings advance technologically and enter into a galactic age,
whether they will be capable of living in harmony with other
intelligences of the universe or become a
threat to the extra terrestrial intelligences. With our propensity for
aggression, competitiveness and need to control it may be no one wonder
if we are categorized by other intelligences into a hostile variety. It
is possible we may be already on their watch
list with plans drawn about how to deal with our aggressive and destructive
nature when the time comes.
