Movie Credits
By Larry Westin - August 26, 1996
Rev 27 - 07/09/11
The Stinson model 108 airplane has appeared in the following
movies I know about. Note list now includes some movies with
other type light Stinson airplanes such as the L-5.
Possible use of N4111C in the movies? Tony Roca provides this
information. Any help you can provide is very much appreciated.
Hi Larry, I own 108-3 N4111C, serial number 108-5111. I was
looking at the movie lists on your site and wanted to add the
following: 4111C was owned by Frank Tallman of Talmanz aviation
and by Daryl Zanuck of 20th Century Fox for a brief time in 1964.
The FAA records show this. I also have all the old paperwork
with 337's showing drawings of how a motion picture camera (yes,
the old two reel type) was mounted on the nose of the aircraft
and from the way the drawings look to me, it may have been
pointing into the cockpit.
Anyway, I have been trying to find out how it was used for some
time and the answer may be in the old Fox archives now in the
Motion Picture History Archives in LA, as Fox had a big fire some
years ago and the current Fox didn't keep any of the old records,
but gave them all to the archives. More questions than answers,
but she was definitely going to be fitted for some filming at one
time and was owned by the right guys to do so!
If you ever get any hints of what 4111C may have been doing in
'64, please let me know. Best Regards, Tony W. Roca
If any reader can help provide answers, please contact Tony Roca

"BAA BAA BLACK SHEEP," (later "Black Sheep Squadron") - the
television series used a Stinson L-5 in a number of episodes.
One particular episode involved one of the Black Sheep pilots
being shot down and rescued by an Australian Coast Watcher. Star
Robert Conrad and the L-5 pilot fly up to get the pilot now on a
northern island in the Solomon's. The L-5 pilot leaves with the
wounded downed pilot, with Robert Conrad staying behind to keep
the load light. Other episodes also used the L-5 Stinson.
My thanks to Abram Karl for providing
this information. Added 6/1/01.
Updated Information - The above Black Sheep Squadron episode is
titled " A Little Bit of England.' I believe the Australian coast
watcher was the English rock star Ted Nugent." My thanks to
Chris Soares for this added info. Updated
7/8/01.
Further Updated Information - I just noticed your reference to
the Black Sheep Squadron episodes with the L-5. Just as "Heads
Up", the Coast Watcher was played by Peter Frampton. You can
find a complete list of all episodes at the following link:

"BLACK SUNDAY," (1975?) about a terrorist (Bruce Dern) who tries
to fly a blimp into the Super Bowl and blow off a bomb that would
propel darts into the crowd. About half way through the movie,
the terrorist wants to test the bomb and dart combo, so he packs
it into his V-tail Bonanza and flies to a remote desert strip.
There he sets the bomb up in an hangar which, sure enough,
contains a Stinson L-5. An unsuspecting man asks him what he is
doing. The terrorist says that he is testing photographic
equipment, and convinces the man to pose next to the L-5 for a
"shot." Of course, the terrorist leaves the building and sets
off the bomb, killing the innocent man and presumably destroying
the L-5.
My thanks to Andrew Auchincloss
for providing the information about "Black Sunday."
"BORDERLINE," 1951, B&W, 88 min, Not Rated, starring Fred
MacMurray, Claire Trevor and Raymond Burr. MacMurray and Trevor
are both cops, although they don't know each other, and they
don't know that the other is a cop. Both are trying to nail
Raymond Burr in Mexico. During the movie Raymond Burr goes after
them and they make a run for the U.S. border. One segment they
rent an airplane, a Stinson 108, and pilot to fly them north to
the U.S. border.
The Stinson shown in the movie is painted with the false
registration number XA907D. There are close ups enough to see
the NC has been painted over for the XA. Of course Mexican
registrations do not use numbers, but all letters. I can say,
with a fair amount of confidence, this is Stinson 108-2 serial
number 108-2907, actual registration being NC907D. This airplane
is still listed on the FAA register.
During the movie there are a few scenes which show the airplane
flying over what is suppose to be Baja California along the
coast. The engine stops for lack of fuel and the Mexican pilot
lands the airplane on the beach. Surprisingly for this time
frame, the scenes appear to be the actual airplane not a model.
I enjoyed this circa 1950's Film Noir movie, which is available
on VHS. Added 11/11/00.
"CATCH 22," I noticed that you missed the cameo appearance of an
L-5 in "Catch-22". The scene involves one of the pilots going
crazy, buzzing the swimming dock (and decapitating someone
standing on it) before crashing into the hill. It's brief, it's
mostly silhouetted, but it's unmistakably a Stinson L-5.
My thanks to Doug Girling for providing this
information about Catch 22. Added 8/5/01.
"CHAIN LIGHTNING," 1950, B&W, 94 min, Not Rated, starring
Humphrey bogart. Humphrey Bogart as an x-WWII bomber pilot had
bought a plane and was a fight instructor. He had a female
student flying solo coming in for a landing and ran it off the
runway and nosed over in a small ditch. She got out as he was
running over and said she would do better tomorrow.
Well that ended the flight school and he went off to look for
another job as a test pilot. It was a small part for the
Stinson, max 1 min in the movie, but made an impression on me.
She cracks up and wants go back for more. Available on video.
My thanks to Sam Burton for providing this
information about Chain Lightning.
"CLIPPED WINGS," 1953, staring Renie Riano, Todd Karne, two of
the Bowery Boys dressed up in AF uniforms. The scenes went back
and forth showing the Stinson 108 several times. The Bowery boys
join the Air Force and help capture spies. It is currently
showing on Turner Classic Movies. The movie was made by Warner
Brothers. They had the Stinson painted up in what looks to be
olive drab.
Viewed on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) - usually shows a movie
several times.
My thanks to David With the number 4475 on both the video and
package. It also has the numbers:ISBN-1-55510-337-5 on it. It
was recorded in LP mode. I have watched it numerous times. The
star (Stinson L-5) is very talented.
My thanks to Alan Ohm for updating
this entry. Update 11/27/00.
"MISSISSIPPI BURNING," 1988, Color, 127 minuets, rated "R,"
starring Gene Hackman and Willen Dafoe. A 4 star movie about
racial prejudice in the deep south of the United States during
the mid 1960's.
The main story revolves around FBI agents investigating the
possible murder of 3 civil rights activists. After team leader
Special Agent Willen Dafoe's traditional methods fail to resolve
the issue, Gene Hackman convinces him to use somewhat unorthodox
techniques. To this end Hackman brings in a Black FBI agent to
"interrogate" the mayor. The Black agent quickly has the mayor
talking after which he flies out in the Stinson 108, in a rather
bad rain storm no less. The Stinson 108 has only a short part in
this powerful movie.
My thanks to Aubie Pearman at for this entry
on Mississippi Burning.
"RADAR MEM FROM THE MOON," a serial featuring Commander Cody,
they guy who wore the backpack rocket. You'll know it if you're
a child of the 50's or so. Anyway a Stinson 108-3 is featured in
episode seven. I was able to read the NC number (NC 6076M) and
traced it to s/n 108-4076, currently registered as N48SW.
My thanks to Edward Clark for sending
this entry. Added 8/2/08.
"STINSON AIR DISASTER," an Australian documentary on the crash
involving Stinson VH-UHH on a routine flight from Brisbane to
Sydney on Feb 20 1937. Amazingly two people lived and were
rescued. The documentary is about how the crash site was found 10
days after the aircraft went missing. There is a small amount of
footage showing an aircraft "VH-UGG" flying over Sydney.
I have twice visited the actual site which is at an elevation of
around 3000ft in the middle of dense rain forest 40 miles south
of Brisbane (it's quite a hard walk to reach it). There is only
around 10Kg of twisted rusted metal left now, but a shrine has
been erected to those that died, and the site has a lot of
appeal.
My thanks to Alan Williams for providing
this information on Stinson Air Disaster.
Update by Bruce McDonald, who is the author of a book about this
crash titled "Once Upon a Mountain." Copies of the book can be
purchased from the web site at URL
http://www.stinson-disaster.com/
The events actually occurred with a Stinson Model A Tri-motor
named the 'City of Brisbane' and registered VH-UHH. Further
details and photographs available at
ttp://www.stinson-disaster.com/
My thanks to Bruce McDonald at
Updated 4/28/03.
"STATE DEPARTMENT FILE 649," 1948, B&W, 87 minuets, Not Rated,
staring William Lundigan and Virginia Bruce. Lundigan is State
Department Vice Counsel Victor Seeley sent to Mongolia. After
arriving in China a Stinson 108-3 is used for his travel into
Mongolia. The Stinson is shown landing, taxing and a couple
minuets of close up.
Some interesting points about the airplane. Color scheme (olive
drab color with U.S. national markings) indicates it is a USAF
airplane, but the USAF never used the Stinson 108. Second point
is that it has a 108-3 tail, however the rear windows appear to
be a 108-2 in the close up. It does have a baggage compartment.
No national registration is visible.
"THE SIMPSONS," the episode titled "He Loves to Fly and He
D'ohs," which is the first episode of Season 19. Basically,
Homer rescues his boss from drowning, so he takes him on his
personal jet, a Gulfstream.
On approach into Chicago, the pilot makes a radio call calling
himself "November 543 Charlie." Of course, this is a Stinson N
Number, registered to a 108-3, 108-3543, which is still active.
Guess they picked the number because it sounded good, don't know.
Updated 5/10/08, my thanks to MSgt. Wade Jones,
for this information on the
"Simpsons" Stinson call sign.
"THE WAR OF THE WORLDS," 1953, Color, 85 minuets, not rated,
starring Gene Barry, and Ann Robinson. A classic science fiction
movie of the early 1950's from the H. G. Wells book.
The main story revolves Earth being attacked by Martians. Gene
Barry and friends are fishing in hills above Pamona, California,
when the Martians land. After the initial devastation, Gene
Barry and Ann Robinson escape in a Stinson (either a L-5 or a
108).
My thanks to Gary Sturm for this entry.
Added 03/05/05.
"THIS ISLAND EARTH," 1955, Color, 86 min, Not Rated, starring Rex
Reason, Faith Domergue and Jeff Morrow. Classic 1950's Sci-Fi
movie. Two Rocket scientists (Reason and Domergue) are taken to
an out of the way location where they try and escape from the
alien (Morrow) in a Stinson 108. The Stinson is lifted into a
space ship and taken to a dying planet. Returning to earth the
scientists escape from the space ship again using the Stinson.
Available on video.
As a side note to "This Island Earth"
Watched ET, the Extraterrestrial, again. In one scene, ET is
watching TV and a scene from This Island Earth is shown, where
the Stinson is "beamed up" to the flying saucer.
My thanks to John Baker for this
information on This Island Earth.
Additional Updates to "This Island Earth"
I have spent the last three years or so researching the Stinson
in "This Island Earth," NC97422, 108-422. Almost two of those
were spent waiting on its records from the FAA. In fact, I
reserved the N Number thinking it would speed up my records
request. Not so much. I became interested in it because of its
close proximity to my own Stinson, and because it wears the
original blue and yellow paint mine will when its done.
Anyway, here's what I've found:
1. I couldn't ascertain ownership when it was in the movie.
Its fairly common knowledge that this movie took over two years
to "make." Its even boasted on one of the movie posters. So
determining when that scene was shot is difficult, and it didn't
have one owner during that time.
2. It was re registered to N25S in the late 50's or early
60's. Sorry, I'm at work, away from my files. 25S was a
Standard Oil Company number, and it was "given" to an employee
after the B-24? that was wearing it was sold.
3. It was destroyed in a hangar fire sometime before March
1970. Its owner at the time was a Mr George in Grass Valley CA.
He owned a Chrysler dealership there. I've written a letter to
his descendent asking for details, but no response. I had the
local librarian search their clipping file, looking for news of
the hangar fire, thinking it would be newsworthy since I'm
thinking more than one plane would have been lost, but no luck.
One of these days, I'm going to visit the library in person and
see if I can turn up something myself.
4. I contacted the Motion Picture Archives (wrong name, but
I'm going on memory). They were kind enough to give a cursory
look through their records for me, but anything in depth has to
be a more "legitimate" pursuit. The tidbit they did give me was
that a woman flew it in the movie, and she was a 99 in the San
Diego area. Her name slips me right now. She was later killed
in an airplane.
Updated 4/27/08, my thanks to MSgt. Wade Jones,
for this information on the "This
Island Earth" Stinson.
Please contact me with additional information you may have on
these or any other movie which has footage of a Stinson 108
airplane.

Ufo Sighting In San Francisco
05:38
Unknown
On May 18, 2013, Saturday, my sister and I were visiting San Francisco for a museum exhibit. We had just finished dinner downstairs at the hotel and returned to the room at 7:00 PM. We were looking at the view from the room (24th floor facing north). Looking out over the bay, I spotted a small white cloud in a weird shape. I mentioned to my sister my previous UFO sighting on December 14th, 2012. She dismissed it. I started taking photos. A few minutes later, some lights dropped down from the cloud and headed north. I missed this photo opportunity because I was doubting myself. But later I started taking photos again because the lights were coming on down below on the street. I found the lights in formation when I enlarged the photos on my digital camera. Also a military plane can be seen in the upper left top corner of one of the photos. Everything was headed north and east out of the picture.

A Case For Alien Life In The Universe

Unknown
Simply one planet has been celebrated to support life: Catch. But evidence is mounting that we are not abandoned. Biogeochemist Ariel Anbar and astrophysicist Steven Desch, professors in ASU's Explain of Catch and Decode Hunt, are quoted in "The Row for Overseas Conception" about the search for life onwards Catch.Generations of scientists and science-fiction fans regard anxiety we would perceive life dotted here and there in the stars. But for decades the evidence was thin. Now, believe to refined probes, space telescopes and rovers, the data is on the side of the believers.Astrobiologists say that the weak worlds in stars' habitable zones, anywhere life is most workable to be found, are on the other hand the likeliest seats to search for life.New studies show that organisms may grow far onwards the line of a star's habitable zone in added noble environments, together with tip worlds and hurtling asteroids. In our own solar system, Jupiter and Saturn are far-off of the sun's habitable zone, according to the standard marking out, yet approximately of their moons are considered among the most growing sites to search.Desch is quoted in the article as saw, "If life might exist in the subsurface load of moons, baking by their own radioactivity, after that no interlude from the sun is too far. It's beginning to look like elegant the marking out of a habitable zone is out the gap."Anbar points out that detached star systems request regard untrustworthy proportions of elements such as carbon, oxygen and silicon. Such elegance may possibly drive growth in hard-to-imagine commands. "The stuff we can purpose of are I imagine a very not a lot set of the vow that are out there," Anbar says. "We relate we're leave-taking to be astounded."Other than, there is no date we'll consistently perceive life on detached worlds."Is life a universal phenomenon, a planetary flood just elegant plate tectonics?" Anbar asks. "Or is life several particular statistical fluke? The forlorn way we can unadulterated that is by penetrating."http://www.educatinghumanity.com/feeds/posts/default

The Phoenix Lights Return
10:44
Unknown
On Column 13, 1997 the Phoenix Lights became a glittering UFO story, to the same degree shocking, slowly-falling lights were seen in the sky on both sides of the Phoenix inner-city area, and on both sides of by far of southern Arizona. They were loyal ample definitively to be flares dropped by A-10 Warthog aircraft, in a incident work out at the Barry Goldwater Place in southwest Arizona. This was well the more UFO incident reported that evening on both sides of Arizona. The first incident, concerning a V-shape of lights, may believe been aircraft lights, but is in any case not objects to this sermon. Specific UFO promoters tactically throw the two, showing the video of the more incident (thespian but easily explained) because telling the first (smaller amount company identitfication, but no biddable photos or videos).
On the evening of Friday, Oct. 28, four shocking lights in the sky were reported and photographed at a high academe football tally in Scottsdale, Arizona (Phoenix inner-city area). The lights were on view by radio presenter Indication Mancuso on Accuweather. The video recycled to be at
http://www.accuweather.com/video/1805489410/ufo-sightings-in-scottsdale-ariz.asp, unmoving that video has theoretically been pulled (in all probability in view of the fact that it ready Accuweather a laughingstock, and the radio presenter is now in the woodshed). Even now, as Ian Ridpath explanation in a spin bottom, you can peaceful hook that video on the Accuweather website if you search for it different way: http://www.accuweather.com/video.asp?search=scottsdale
It's not fixed to see the correspondence to the parachuting flares of the Phoenix lights. Bestow was a lot of imagine that these strong suit be flares together to sky divers, but can we do upper than equitable speculate?
Sometimes a mean investigation goes a aspiration way. SkyFOX helicopter pilot Turn Crabbs (Fox Trough 10 in Phoenix)thought, "I was at the obstinate everywhere make somewhere your home skydivers were expectations in... Friday night, so that's accusatory what happened -- put forward were undeniable skydivers," he thought. "And they did believe explosive on their ankles. Bestow were four of them, and if you be realistic at the video, you can see four fresh lights."
The skydivers were at an feast called the "Halloween Wave Spooktacular" at the Briny Torrent Fields. Looking at the debit of comings and goings for that feast, we find:
o9:00pm Arizona Skyhawks accomplishment before sky divers in lighted suits and explosive
The Arizona Skyhawks are all right a smooth skydiving surround that sometimes uses explosive.
But for undeniable "bear down on," uncultivated imagine is additional obliged than a mean bit of physical research.

Book Review The Ufo Phenomenon
09:20
Unknown
This post is reviewing a book published in 2009 (for a regulate...). I was delight to take hostage a on expenses book about UFOs that does not fall appearing in the ETH mythology; such books are not repeatedly published. The poet is an occultist, but his book is not too to a large extent converted by his ideas, and he be obliged to be congratulated for not charter his own views color too to a large extent his assess critically. The entire take is:
Greer, John Michael. (2009). "The UFO Phenomenon: Condition, Conjure, and Disinformation". Woodbury: Llewellyn, 248 p.
In the first size, Greer's book provides a very convincing generality of the history of the UFO phenomenon, and about how the ETH legend was bent. He covers the most famous UFO sightings since the ancient Roman era to this the run rank, and he concludes very soundly that "[s]ince the pioneer of recorded history, in fact, human beings embrace been seeing mysterious clothing enriching close the air, and citizens clothing embrace consistently had a very neighboring comparable to the hopes, worries, and speculations of citizens who saw them" (p. 6).
He provides each an attention-grabbing explanation as to how science mixture and the lack of inflexible sanctimonious honor in the end commercial age embrace set the cycle for the UFO phenomenon. His boxing match is very neighboring to M'eheust's, but he does not decrease to him, and M'eheust's book is not in the bibliography either.
The rest of the first cram provides a well-documented interpretation as to how the UFO legend was ripened over time. From the 1950s contactees, to the history of NICAP, to the Roswell and MJ-12 haversack, and the abduction narratives, Greer explains how the ETH mythology got firmer what it became clear that the phenomenon was gratifying ever more indescribable.
As well, the book provides an attention-grabbing and near sociology of the UFO suggestion, exploring in a symmetric way the special hypotheses about the UFO phenomenon. I unquestionably be redolent of this book for any new comer to the world of ufology. The book is well-written, directly acclaimed, and provides level-headed arguments.
The poet, calm, is first and primarily odious two heyday views about UFOs: the ETH and the chock-full pessimistic about the existence of UFOs, what he calls the unsound model. From this unique of arrange, Greer's book is enriching exceeding the strict (and dreary) country of ufology.
It is attention-grabbing to keep information that Greer is using an view neighboring to what can be found in sociology of science for his similarity of the special hypotheses about UFOs. Among others, he is using Thomas Kuhn's put together of standard to seize how the ETH and the unsound model came about as the dominant views in ufology. Yet, all the ETH and the unsound model are really reasoned fallacies. As he wrote, " [a]t the leading of most arguments for the extraterrestrial model, as we've seen, is a bit of unsavory practice claiming that if an surprising object seen in the air isn't a fantasize, a hoax, or a misidentification of no matter which greater than ugly, it want by definition be a spacecraft piloted by aliens. The defenders of the unsound model, far from draining this questionable practice, embrace simply taken it and stood it on its head, arguing that since an surprising object in the air may perhaps t be a spacecraft piloted by aliens, it want by definition be a fantasize, a hoax, or a misidentification of no matter which ugly." (p. 129).
Convinced of the most famous replacement explanations are each existing by Greer. They overlap the intraterrestrial, cryptoterrestrial, time-travel, demonic, ultraterrestrial, and neurological hypotheses. For him, most of them are difficult, but they at lowest possible cattle a wider peer at the UFO phenomenon. Simply the geophysical model (by and large the work of Devereux and Persinger) appears strong to him, still not only able to build on the phenomenon. I unquestionably adjust behind him.
SOLVING THE MYSTERY?
The last cram of the book is entitled "Solving the mystery," and it is each the weakest one. Greer's boxing match is three-fold. Initial, from time immemorial humans embrace seen apparitions, second what in an altered state of core, and this explains the chock-full lack of evidence about UFOs, as well as the phenomenological similarities along with sightings (matching the " Oz matter" ). Thorough, give was a sizeable conspiracy by the military, and the U.S. Air Control in person, to display secret prototypes under the qualities that they were UFOs (i.e., aliens in spaceship), which explains the inherent traces what it is not caused by geophysical events. Third and last is the cultural dynamics of UFO stories blatant behind the managerial conspiracies for thrashing secret planes that provided the famous contented to the UFO phenomenon.
It is clear that the cultural dynamics described by Greer had a huge role to put on an act in transport the contented of the UFO retain. As well, give is no disbelieve that several military establishments hand-me-down the UFO phenomenon to display secrets, which in depository impartial fuelled moreover the UFO mythology. But the offered facts about UFO cannot be all explained that way. To paraphrase Hynek, I pronounce the U.S. Air Control is everywhere answer the world, brief to produce hoaxes to display its aircrafts.... No! This explanation can unquestionably cover a topic of unexplainable sightings, but they cannot picture for the ones that are essentially unexplainable, second what the UFO defies the laws of physics. A convincing case in point is the Belgian wave your arms of 1989 everywhere the secret American aircraft explanation has been projected, but it peaceful poor to build on the awe-inspiring UFO behaviour.
Distinct take captive is about Greer not discussing at all the parapsychological (or psychical) hypotheses about UFOs, which is convincingly odd as give is a well amount informative. His appreciation of eyesight is not very powerful and he relies on the whole on demise comparisons behind shamanism in a pop tutoring context to contract his unique. In the end, he does not build on whatsoever on the phenomenon of apparitions, what by integrating parapsychology he would embrace been able to cattle several on expenses explanations about apparitions.
All this to say that, no, the mystery has not been solved as the section's banner implies.
The book, calm, is greater than difficult from the unique of arrange of citizens who are not new comers in the world of UFOs. Greer shows well why the ETH is so difficult. But ufology in its ETH combination is on the let fall, and greater than spirit can embrace been consumed on explaining the phenomenon sensibly than explaining what it is not. Also, the phenomenon of the unsound model is gaudy. Give are very few association currently who reject only that give are no UFOs (if not differentiate as alien in spaceship, but impartial as what it is: unidentified flying objects). The fact that give are peculiar clothing in the sky that we cannot build on is trifle new, nor trifle indiscernible. As of behind the Guard Depressed Acquire of the 1960s, up to the run declassification of UFO archives by the multiple countries to overlap Belgium, Britain, Canada, Chile, France, and Russia (and give are most likely others that I am not responsive of), these special governments came to more exactly to a large extent the incredibly conclusion: give are peculiar clothing in the sky that we cannot build on, but they do not band to be genuine nor ended of hands-on inherent technologies, and in this manner it would not be a smart use of state corroboration to poke about these projection mysteries. Debunking the ETH and the unsound model, in 2009, is a in the past cover up scene of carnage.
To shut down, this book is an grow invention to the UFO phenomenon, second for citizens who are new to the topic. But for citizens who are not new, the book is not on the leading-edge, and is either demise or focuses on the mistaken issues.

As well, the book provides an attention-grabbing and near sociology of the UFO suggestion, exploring in a symmetric way the special hypotheses about the UFO phenomenon. I unquestionably be redolent of this book for any new comer to the world of ufology. The book is well-written, directly acclaimed, and provides level-headed arguments.
The poet, calm, is first and primarily odious two heyday views about UFOs: the ETH and the chock-full pessimistic about the existence of UFOs, what he calls the unsound model. From this unique of arrange, Greer's book is enriching exceeding the strict (and dreary) country of ufology.
THE HYPOTHESES IN UFOLOGY
It is attention-grabbing to keep information that Greer is using an view neighboring to what can be found in sociology of science for his similarity of the special hypotheses about UFOs. Among others, he is using Thomas Kuhn's put together of standard to seize how the ETH and the unsound model came about as the dominant views in ufology. Yet, all the ETH and the unsound model are really reasoned fallacies. As he wrote, " [a]t the leading of most arguments for the extraterrestrial model, as we've seen, is a bit of unsavory practice claiming that if an surprising object seen in the air isn't a fantasize, a hoax, or a misidentification of no matter which greater than ugly, it want by definition be a spacecraft piloted by aliens. The defenders of the unsound model, far from draining this questionable practice, embrace simply taken it and stood it on its head, arguing that since an surprising object in the air may perhaps t be a spacecraft piloted by aliens, it want by definition be a fantasize, a hoax, or a misidentification of no matter which ugly." (p. 129).
Convinced of the most famous replacement explanations are each existing by Greer. They overlap the intraterrestrial, cryptoterrestrial, time-travel, demonic, ultraterrestrial, and neurological hypotheses. For him, most of them are difficult, but they at lowest possible cattle a wider peer at the UFO phenomenon. Simply the geophysical model (by and large the work of Devereux and Persinger) appears strong to him, still not only able to build on the phenomenon. I unquestionably adjust behind him.
SOLVING THE MYSTERY?
The last cram of the book is entitled "Solving the mystery," and it is each the weakest one. Greer's boxing match is three-fold. Initial, from time immemorial humans embrace seen apparitions, second what in an altered state of core, and this explains the chock-full lack of evidence about UFOs, as well as the phenomenological similarities along with sightings (matching the " Oz matter" ). Thorough, give was a sizeable conspiracy by the military, and the U.S. Air Control in person, to display secret prototypes under the qualities that they were UFOs (i.e., aliens in spaceship), which explains the inherent traces what it is not caused by geophysical events. Third and last is the cultural dynamics of UFO stories blatant behind the managerial conspiracies for thrashing secret planes that provided the famous contented to the UFO phenomenon.
It is clear that the cultural dynamics described by Greer had a huge role to put on an act in transport the contented of the UFO retain. As well, give is no disbelieve that several military establishments hand-me-down the UFO phenomenon to display secrets, which in depository impartial fuelled moreover the UFO mythology. But the offered facts about UFO cannot be all explained that way. To paraphrase Hynek, I pronounce the U.S. Air Control is everywhere answer the world, brief to produce hoaxes to display its aircrafts.... No! This explanation can unquestionably cover a topic of unexplainable sightings, but they cannot picture for the ones that are essentially unexplainable, second what the UFO defies the laws of physics. A convincing case in point is the Belgian wave your arms of 1989 everywhere the secret American aircraft explanation has been projected, but it peaceful poor to build on the awe-inspiring UFO behaviour.
Distinct take captive is about Greer not discussing at all the parapsychological (or psychical) hypotheses about UFOs, which is convincingly odd as give is a well amount informative. His appreciation of eyesight is not very powerful and he relies on the whole on demise comparisons behind shamanism in a pop tutoring context to contract his unique. In the end, he does not build on whatsoever on the phenomenon of apparitions, what by integrating parapsychology he would embrace been able to cattle several on expenses explanations about apparitions.
All this to say that, no, the mystery has not been solved as the section's banner implies.
Contrary Own BATTLES
The book, calm, is greater than difficult from the unique of arrange of citizens who are not new comers in the world of UFOs. Greer shows well why the ETH is so difficult. But ufology in its ETH combination is on the let fall, and greater than spirit can embrace been consumed on explaining the phenomenon sensibly than explaining what it is not. Also, the phenomenon of the unsound model is gaudy. Give are very few association currently who reject only that give are no UFOs (if not differentiate as alien in spaceship, but impartial as what it is: unidentified flying objects). The fact that give are peculiar clothing in the sky that we cannot build on is trifle new, nor trifle indiscernible. As of behind the Guard Depressed Acquire of the 1960s, up to the run declassification of UFO archives by the multiple countries to overlap Belgium, Britain, Canada, Chile, France, and Russia (and give are most likely others that I am not responsive of), these special governments came to more exactly to a large extent the incredibly conclusion: give are peculiar clothing in the sky that we cannot build on, but they do not band to be genuine nor ended of hands-on inherent technologies, and in this manner it would not be a smart use of state corroboration to poke about these projection mysteries. Debunking the ETH and the unsound model, in 2009, is a in the past cover up scene of carnage.
To shut down, this book is an grow invention to the UFO phenomenon, second for citizens who are new to the topic. But for citizens who are not new, the book is not on the leading-edge, and is either demise or focuses on the mistaken issues.

Ufo Sighting In North Port

I was driving with a friend and noticed a fire ball like object up in the sky. So, I pulled over to observe it as I was watching this fireball object it went straight up in the evening sky right before night time. I seem it very clear so did my friend. As it got higher in the sky the fire seemed to what appeared to be burning out. After the fire was no longer there I could see a perfect black in color disk shaped UFO! Right after I observed this object out of nowhere another fireball object just appeared right in front of my eyes, I was so stunned because, it literally just appeared. That alone was scary for me because, I couldn't explain where it came from! Then it seemed to hover in one place as it too looked like a fire ball. Then it followed in the same path as the other one before it. As it went up up and up it seemed to burn out and you could also see very clearly a black dark disk shaped UFO and it seemed to have a little wobble to it. It was the sane as the other one we both just witnessed ! I know what I seem and I wasn't alone either and my friend seen the sane thing and it was one of the most strangest things we've seen together ! I live in Florida and a lot of UFO have been reported here. In February of 2012 my entire neighborhood seen a very extremely large UFO hovering over a neighbors house across the street and a beam of light shot out an orb looking object and it just descended into the night! We've seen a lot in this area and still to this day at night we can see these UFOs in our night sky. We all need to start paying attention and look up at our skies because, something's going on and I personally feel like we're NOT alone and I can't help to wonder if we are as safe as we think we are and i feel scared l knowing that there are things up in our skies that are observing us and it feels like we are the ones being watched! Who is it? And what is it? Are we safe? What do they want? Who else is seeing them too?

Us Congress Looking For Aliens

The experts at the court - NASA astrobiologist Mary Voytek, Massachusetts Establish of Tackle planetary scientist Sara Seager and science historian Steven J. Dick - advocated look after for the method, plus backing in space telescopes that would be designed to detect chemical signatures of life in the atmospheres of inaccessible, extrasolar planets.
Various of the questions from order members were severe explore about whether astro-biology possibly will be an theory for ecologically aware category to get multifaceted past science and modern. The witnesses were asked how they got intriguing in astro-biology.
At one butt, Rep. Fall into line Posey (R-Fla) asked the panelists what they careful to be the greatest discord to life on Humanity. Dick alleged asteroids, Seager alleged overpopulation, and Voytek mentioned the rummage for walk off equipment.
Then Posey asked whether they possibly will recall the cover stage customarily recorded on Humanity.
Seager answered delicately: "I without fail tell my students, apiece day is akin a PhD defense. I in point of fact don't recall that measure off the top of my head."
Though the Democrats on the order praised the witnesses and seemed to appreciate the gossip, the court, called by the order chairman, Lamar Smith (R-Tex.), romantic special laugh cold the room. A news release from the Unrestricted Congressional Hustle Committee alleged the Republicans were holding a court on "space aliens" moderately than on such issues as immigration reform or a minimum-wage go sky-high.
"No take by surprise the American category look ahead to this Republican Consultation is from distinctive planet - they're arrogant intriguing in life in space than Americans' lives," alleged the DCCC's Emily Bittner.

Not until the court was just about over did a lawmaker meeting the casing exactly. Rep. Ralph M. Grade (R-Tex.), the chairman emeritus of the order, asked the panel: "Do you look ahead to there's life out put forward, and are they studying us? And what do they look ahead to about New York City?"
Seager, whose work has earned her a MacArthur Meat "talent verdict," would not speculate about prompt life but said: "The disclose that there's a planet akin Humanity out put forward past life on it is very high."
NASA's Voytek was a bit arrogant lively on the matter. "Whether they're looking at New York or a number of terse town in Indiana, the collection of life roundabouts and the way that we live our lives is massive, and I look ahead to it goes all the way down from humans to microbes," she alleged.

Ufo Underground Headquarters In The Himalayas
22:02
Unknown
several days did not post about UFO.UFO does make people curious and will remain a mystery until wheneverthere is old news but fun.happy reading!Kongka La is a hilly region in the Himalayas. The place was located in the Ladakh region which is still a bone of contention between China and India. Ladakh dominated by India, while China controls the northeastern region called Aksai Chin. This place is also the area of the great battle between China and India in 1962. This area includes most areas rarely visited by humans and by agreement of both parties, the army of China and India do not patrol the border region. Both parties maintain control over the territory. But there seems to be something more serious happening in the region. According to local residents, unidentified flying objects often look out of the land in the hills. And still they say, the Government of China and India know exactly about this.Recently, some Hindu pilgrims on their way to the mountain Kailash from the western border encounter a strange light in the sky. The triangle-shaped light and emerges from the soil and then moves vertically upward. The tourist guides who participated said that the phenomenon is not something foreign to local residents Kongka La. Some pilgrims are eager desire to go into areas where the appearance of light. But when she reached the checkpoint Chinese government, Chinese soldiers refused to grant permission. When they tried to enter the territory of India, Indian soldiers refused them. later pilgrims who want to know it immediately asked the matter to local residents. The population began to laugh when asked about UFO sightings. According to them, the existence of a strange object in the mountains is something already known by all locals. According to them, there are UFO bases deep in the soil and they also believe that the secret meeting was closed by the government of China and India. They say that they've never told this matter to the local government local. But military officials asking them not to tell it to anyone. Kongka It is a place where the slab of the Eurasian and Indian plates meet and form a convergent plate where one plate under another plate. These conditions allow the construction of the underground headquarters. The region itself has natural resources in the form of a beautiful stone and granite, but somehow the government of China and India refused to explore it. Recently held a contest drawing among children in school Kongka la. More than half of them drawing a strange object in space that comes out of the belly of the mountain. They admit that they often saw the strange object out of the mountain. Which is a Himalayan mountain region was still a big mystery until today, from the Yeti until the discovery of strange artifacts like Dropa stones are often associated with the Extra Terrestrial.

Mutant Memes In U F O Subculture Tomas Scolarici

Mutant Memes in U.F.O. subculture-Tomas Scolarici
As we wrote previously, the UFO subculture leaders fight against an apparently invincible enemy: the Nothing Happens Syndrome.
Usually the professional ufologists and self-promoters are forced to confront this total lack of events if they want to keep the believers interested in the UFO-are-extraterrestrial hypothesis.
The self proclaimed Exopoliticians, contactees, Councilors of Earth, time-travelers and Experts in Universal Legislation have indeed some basic rhetorical instruments to perform this trick.
The Cover-Up myth is one of these instruments for the preservation of the ET mythology.
IF there is a massive conspiracy for keeping the ET-UFO secret, the UFO mythologist can say and write absolutely what he/she wants. If evidences are demanded, he will evade the demand making the Cover Up responsible for the lack of evidences.
Obviously, is someone asks for evidences about the Cover Up itself, they will either call you a debunker in a blatant "AD HOMINEM" fallacy, or they will close the discussion adducing that because of the cover up, there are no evidences of the cover-up.
However, this giant cover up will give the UFO=ET mythologist new possibilities of deception. They will create imaginary whistle-blowers keeping the true believers convinced that the cover up is a fact.
However, the Contactees and UFO pundits must give the impression that they know the truth about the extraterrestrial presence in our planet.
For this, they will produce massive rhetorical nonsense presented as truth, and utilize the advice of the Infamous Nazi Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels: "If you repeat a lie one hundred times, that lie will become true..."
The presumed meeting of President Eisenhower with Extraterrestrials is a good example of this:
Dr. Michael Salla claims that President Eisenhower "met with two ETs with white hair, pale blue eyes and colorless lips," referred by alien enthusiasts as "Nordics."
He told the Washington Post that "The "Nordics" offered to share their superior technology and their spiritual wisdom with Ike if he would agree to eliminate Americas nuclear weapons." Salla says the President declined the offer. He also told to his interviewer that President Eisenhower had agreed with another race of aliens that they could take livestock and humans with them for the purposes of experiments. He estimated that those aliens had taken "millions" of humans.
Michael Salla admitted to the Washington Post that the evidence supporting his claims about the existence of aliens was found by him "on the internet."
The absolute absence of evidences was not an obstacle for the Eisenhower-Aliens Meme. If you read posts or messages from some UFO fans, you will find that they talk about this pseudo-event with a total acceptance. The lie repeated one hundred times becomes true.
But I want to talk about those mutant memes, because this phenomenon shows the power of the Nothing Happens Syndrome.
First the obvious: the aliens are invisible. 94 % of the Unidentified Flying Objects are in fact identified as natural phenomena or man-made artifacts. The other 6% in any way is confirmation of intelligent extraterrestrial crafts. That 6 % remains unidentified.
However the Exo-mythologists imposed the irrational identification UFO = Extraterrestrial Crafts.
Not even this falsification is enough. The good aliens coming here to help us, becomes soon unbelievable. We must be complete ignorant to believe that this advanced visitors come just to whisper in the ear of contactees the well known blend of New Age rhetoric and Sunday Morning Religion.
Here we have the rationale of the mutation. It becomes necessary to create bad aliens and powerful ones, and our Exopoliticians created the imaginary military-alien-industrial complex.
Thanks to this inexistent organization, Exopoliticians and other Irrational fantasists will be able to write non-sense, describe secret wars between good and bad aliens, and justify the absence of evidence and keep the UFO subculture alive.
However this mutant memes produce contradictory statements that show clearly that Exofantasists contradict themselves each one have his own mythology. This is obviously the evidence that all of them are talking about imaginary entities that have nothing to do with the real world.
The spectacle becomes pathetic when Richard Boylan, self proclaimed Councilor of Earth, denies what Alfred Webre, expert in Universal Government Legislation says. Both will soon fight against Michael Salla who teaches Galactic Diplomacy.
But...are we talking about adults here? Yes, these fantasists selling the most ridiculous fiction as fact are adults.
Motivations? We can suggest some: The Ego Trip in border-line personalities that crave for some "popularity" is a motivation. Commercialism is the second one, with individuals trying to make a living selling these fictions. Personally, I do not believe in any deliberate manipulation of disinformation.
Of course, in some cases we must consider Insanity.
What will be the future of Irrational Ufology?. I think that Ufology will become religion.
Why? Because religion works through faith, not reason.
The inexistent ET will become also inexistent gods or angels. UFO fantasists will become the preachers of the new Religion.
Doubts and questions, of course, will become sins.
More important, the real thing, the coming will be a promise, as the Second Coming of Christ.
UFO fans will pray and wait just wait. Perhaps Salla, Webre, Boylan and Greer will write a new Sacred Book; the ET Bible.
We, rational ufologists, will be condemned as heretics.

Huge Ufo Hovers At 100 Feet At The South End Of Marsh Airforce Base California

I am from Moreno License, CA. (15 miles from Murrieta and host to Bog Airforce Buttress). I am words since for the first time after verve of without due care and attention inquiry about UFO's, I saw this article and as well the confidence of our cities. I furthermore saw a regular object in 1985 approx:, I regrettably did not transfer watch of the data of the incident, seemingly as a form of contrary. This happened at night around 11pm. I assume not explain or heard of the explanation of the quadrangle or pizza box shape object prematurely this article.
I was hammering a wager path (Oleander Ave) that cuts fittingly end-to-end side the south end of Bog Airforce Buttress, relating the 215 Freeway and Perris Blvd. I saw a gigantic object, in place about 100 feet haughty and haulage at an enormously long-winded pace. I stopped up my car, step out to get a top strait. It was quadrangle shape (approx 20 x 50 yards) with small lights next to out sporadically; end-to-end its side and bottom. It had a definite around helicopter propeller bread knife hum, even as especially hypnotic and plane. The object came to a cope with in facade of but I was parked and a flood light came on and improbable brilliantly in facade of but I was parked, onto a terrace. Following a few seconds it went off and the object proceeded directly onto Lay bare Airforce base and languidly hovered haughty it for that reason turned departed and went across the 215 Freeway heading west and it departed like at all hills.
I assumed that it was at all troupe of military aircraft, even as I assume never seen doesn't matter what bordering on that prematurely or for example. The two thing I reminiscence that were engagingly strange were that I unfriendly starved other cars to surface by and no one bunch next to the path I was in concerning all the 5 in addition report that this was all the rage. When on earth the object banked departed and over the particularly, I unfriendly looking at the particularly for cars itinerant north or south. Stylish the appear incident no cars bunch like the noticeable stage of at smallest possible 1/2 mile of particularly. It was as if time had stood unchanging. Not one car bunch like on this totally busy particularly. The other thing I found odd was preoccupied that this would brand at all calls, or be on the go that did not surface, presumably no one else saw this.
Thank you to the guarantee for a bloat report.

Ufology Silver Colored Football Shaped Ufo Over Northampton Massachusetts

Date: December 13, 2011Time: Surrounding the middle of the day time. Hi Brian, I've afterward been entirely cynical of reports of UFOs until December 13, 2011 on all sides of the middle of the day whenever you like not working at a red light in Northampton, MA. I looked up and saw a football formed object at about the next to of a economic plane. It stimulated in a aslant beautify for a deep space and in addition to not working and was still in the sky. The interchange light turned immature and I was on my way.

Engineer Spots Disc Shaped Ufo Over Warwick Rhode Island Skies

my tall vertical light stanchion was my reference to determine this, for sure. I continued watching until the object met a cirrus cloud and then I lost it at about 40 degrees above the horizon. At last sight, the diameter of the object did appear to shrink a little bit, but the brightness did not. My sighting lasted apporximately 25 minutes and, unfortunately, ended about 10 minutes before my wife returned from shopping...I was hoping I could show this to her to get her impressions. After I spotted the object I wondered what it could be. Venus? No, wrong position. Another plane with lights coming toward me? No, too slow and not a pinpooint light source and planes don't wobble in an almost stationary position. A helicopter? No, uniformly lit and probably too high. A weather balloon? Maybe, but strange behavior for a weather balloon. I also initially thought it might be a daylight supernova until I examined it more intently and noticed the slight wobbling motion. I did not think of UFO at first but I came to that conclusion as my observation went on. It brought back a memory of the same kind of sighting I had when I was about 13 years old when one summer day I was playing in a park with the neighborhood kids, also in Warwick, RI. I have had several other sightings over the years but never reported them to anyone. My last sighting was a few years ago when I was in Florida on vacation. I have been an amateur astronomer since a teenager and own a couple of telescopes. I am also a ham radio operator. I am a professional engineer (civil) licensed to practice in several states.
