Probably, you are not one time a long time gazing at the sparkling diamonds star placers, trying to guess where the pulsing life, where sparks blaze of mind, where just stare into space dal eyes alien beings. And then you start to overflow the thoughts and feelings, hopes and fears...

Hope for what?

That the aliens, who will ever be able to overcome huge interstellar space, will help in solving many, if not all, urgent problems of mankind. Make each of us and the society in General, smarter, richer, healthier. After helping the needy is a sacred duty noble super-intelligent beings. Through the miraculous technologies they will quickly heal and set on the right path our poor body and soul (I'm not talking about such a trifle as economy). Yes, what to say, they make life almost Paradise. Perhaps even make happy immortality and taught how to carry grain of kindness to other planets of the vast Universe.

That's a bit too much of the desires of the Lord is good?

At the other extreme concern. What if someone else wants to conquer the Earth? These or other ways to use at their discretion and selfish need our house, and ourselves. Convincing solutions for the development of such a scenario has already been many. Human history is a good example. From the slave ages until the modern time, the powerful, often under the guise of beautiful slogans achieve General prosperity, brought only needed for their personal prosperity order.

Yes, the fight for the notorious living space and resources should never be discounted. It is always better begin to weaken a potential enemy or even take it out of the game, than to wait until it will get stronger and will be a worthy competitor in the space arena.

Concerns are reasonable. Just don't lose it. It is better to think soberly, what can be done now, before it's too late.

Between these two extreme views constantly swinging the pendulum of public opinion, then, twirling the spring of hatred, then, bowing to benevolence multimillion crowds of people in our sinful world.

Now the question: what would you do on the site of extraterrestrial intelligence, watching us and, of course, able to influence the Earthmen by "merging" of the necessary accents news agencies, entertainment and film industry, public services, in short all those who are in charge of the formation of public moods?

You will surely answer that it all depends on what goals are pursued.

Let's analyze. Suppose you want to prepare treacherous invasion. Why will configure aboriginal against himself?

But being clean water altruists, preparing a good mission for the salvation of eternal values, too, will not customize the masses of the people against the bright ambassadors of the cosmic mind. Enough with you and their natural instinct of mistrust. Do you agree?

Hence the obvious conclusion: if we start too often show touching films about compassionate aliens, gray-headed scientists will be vying with each other to assure you of the full theoretical impossibility of the existence of evil and aggressive highly developed space civilizations, and Housewives chatter about personal positive experience with gentle alien - so get ready. And it is desirable for the worst scenario. Let the best will be a pleasant surprise.

What are UFOs?
UFO is an unidentified flying objects: no one knows exactly what it is. Many researchers (called "ufologists") have a theory by which try to explain what is a UFO, but since no one can study the UFO in the science lab, all these ideas are nothing more than a scientific assumptions. It is possible to offer the following definition of a UFO that can be helpful in the consideration of this topic:

UFO is dedicated publicity observation of the object or light in the sky or on the earth, whose appearance, the trajectory of motion, action, movement, radiated light and colours have no logical or natural explanations that cannot be explained not only witnesses, but also scientific and technical experts, who try to explain the observation after studying the evidence (definition of the American UFO Association CUFOS).

Who sees UFOs?

Anyone can see a UFO. No matter the poor he or rich, educated or uneducated, young or old. Actually most of the witnesses were not even looking for UFO specially when they were lucky enough to see them. The greatest chance to see UFOs are people, sivussa in small towns or in the countryside and located far from settlements late at night.

What is it like a UFO? How quickly they move? Is it possible to get their images?

UFOs can be of any shape or size. There are small luminous spots, moving in a strange way through the night sky. They are called "night lights" (nocturnal lights; NLs). This is raspostranennye the UFO. "Night lights" is really not of much interest, as the witnesses in this case cannot be considered parts. Without them ufologist cannot learn anything new. Distant objects, usually disco or trelkovsky observed in the daytime, called "daylight disk" (daylight disks; DDs). If the witness saw a UFO from a very close distance (500 metres), such observations are called "close encounters of the" (close encounters CEs). There are three types "close contacts", marked CE-1 CE-2 CE-3. When "close encounters" observed UFOs, like plates, boomerangs, spheres, diamonds, cigars, triangles and other strange forms. They emit bright light, sometimes white or red, sometimes multicolor.

The observed velocity UFO varies widely. UFOs may long motionless "hover" in the air, then immediately fly off at high speed, and far exceeding the speed limit conventional aircraft. They can slowly move across the sky and perform incredible maneuvers, such as turns at a right angle at impossible speeds. While it is not known what force drives UFO or why they are maneuverable.

There are several undoubtedly genuine pictures of UFOs. Many so-called "pictures of UFOs" actually represent natural phenomena (such as clouds freakish forms) or light patches on the camera or the marriage of the film, which was shown at the pictures. Some pictures deliberately tampered with people who wish to convince others that they have seen UFOs. This is done for various reasons, such as the desire for fame, money, advertising their religious or philosophical points of view. Some of the most famous photographs were obtained from the poppy-Manville, Oregon, in 1950; in Rouen, France, in 1954; near the coast of Brazil in 1958; and in Lubbock, Texas, in 1951. There are also videos of UFO received in the district Hudson, new York and Belgium. These images are often found in the UFO literature.

Pictures are not sufficient proof of the reality of UFOs, as can be easily forged.

When people first saw a UFO?

Many researchers claim that UFOs were observed throughout history. There are many myths, legends and stories that describe the strange things seen in the skies, or beings that came from heaven to help people in the development of civilization. As modern scientists cannot be extracted from these stories actual facts, it is impossible to determine whether they are credible reports about real events. So most ufologists concentrate their attention on the study of the reports of UFOs since the beginning of this century.

In the 1890-ies of North America watched in the air strange disablebrowse devices with very bright lights that flew over farms and settlements. Some argued that saw the pilots driving machines. Scholars disagree about the authenticity of these stories. Many researchers believe the message data hoaxes that were distributed to local ' clubs liars", or sensatsionnyj the stories invented by journalists with a rich imagination to Newspapers was sold out. However, some ufologists are inclined to consider these observations are the first reliable messages in history.

During the second world war pilots saw near its aircraft strange, glowing balls. They called them "fu-fighters" (foo fighters) - a term derived from the expression ("where there's foo, there's fire"from "Smokey of Stover" (Smokey Stover), a popular magazine comics of the time. First, the allies suggested that "foo-fighters" are the secret weapon or razvedyvatelnoye apparatus of Nazi Germany. Only after the war they found that German pilots also saw the bright lights that were then considered to be American or British secret devices.

In summer and autumn of 1946 over Sweden and Norway was observed a large number of unusual aerial objects. They dubbed "missiles-ghosts" and believed Russian secret weapon, constructed using the German military programs for creation of missile weapons. The Ministry of defenseHN Sweden announced that 80% of 1000 "launch ghosts" can be explained by natural phenomena, but the remaining 200 cases cannot be explained either natural phenomena or Swedish or Russian aircraft or hoaxes.

Although the message "airships," and "fu fighters" more plausible and probable than ancient stories about strange "miracles" in the sky, many ufologists are questioning the accuracy of the above messages. As a result, most of the researchers said that the modern UFO era began on June 24, 1947 the supervision of a businessman and pilot Kenneth Arnold. One flew over the Cascade mountains in Washington state, Arnold saw nine objects in the shape of a Crescent, flying along the mountain ridge. Although he watched them only three and a half minutes, Arnold saw that this is not the aircraft. He has broadcast its message, and when I landed at the airport it was waiting for reporters to ask questions. "As a plate thrown parallel to the surface of the water" - as he described the motion of objects. Hence the expression "flying saucer".

How to spot a hoax?

Although over the last forty years, there have been tens of thousands of messages about UFOs, less than 1% of them turned out to be hoaxes. For the most part, the competent researchers can recognize the hoax almost instantly. The most common type of hoaxes, manipulation with a candle or a torch and a balloon filled with helium. With these simple tools to achieve that the balloon glowed and thus gave the impression of a UFO. Carefully planned and done hoax that require more in-depth study are extremely rare.

To eliminate the possibility of false alarms, you need to check the reliability of witnesses, message details, and any physical evidence, especially pictures. Before you trust to the obtained data, the researcher should check the reliability and validity of these factors. The credibility of a witness may be checked by means of interviews with neighbors, friends, relatives, colleagues. In particular, the researcher is interested to determine whether it has the reputation sincere, responsible person, or hoaxer, good sense of humor and a babbler. The researcher also studies the message to determine whether it has an incredible approval or pronounced discrepancies. For example, similar whether the elements of the message to those that can be found in science fiction or they are so unusual that was not shown in other reports about seeing UFOs? Does the witness that he had seen a UFO many times, though other witnesses cannot be located? Does the witness that important evidence of his words disappeared mysteriously or were abducted "government agents"? While these facts can't prove a hoax, they can cast a shadow of doubt on the message, and must be considered in the study.

Ultimately, the investigator must examine to proirity whether they were altered, falsified or mystified. If the readings seem fake or if they can be explained in more prosaic methods, then on their validity in the shadow of a doubt. Often experienced ufologists may at first sight to identify forged a picture of a UFO. Various clue, such as the remarkable differences between HD UFOs and the foreground and background, help to identify a fake. Computer analysis of the pictures can also be used to prove the fraud. Technical means can specify a clue and can provide evidence about the forms of objects, materials and density.

We must remember that in any study must critically and carefully examine. The more proven unreliable facts, the larger the shadow falls on the reliability of the UFO phenomenon as a whole. "The rule of thumb" in the UFO research says "if something seems too good to be true, most likely it really is too good to be true" ("If something appears too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true"; This applies not only in UFOlogy, but in life). Thus, the researcher should always critical approach to any fact.

What are the aliens? Where are they?

Because it is unknown whether the UFO spacecraft, we cannot be sure that the aliens come to Earth from other planets. Many ufologists say that there is ample evidence that UFOs are really spacecraft, managed by reasonable creatures. In addition to reports of contacts with aliens ("close encounters of the third type" or CE-3) there is a wide variety of descriptions. Some witnesses described the creature as being very similar to humans. In fact, they say that these creatures can easily blend in with the crowd on any street in any city of the world. This type of beings called "northerners" (Nordics), because they are more just like people living in Northern Europe. Other reports describe gray beings low growth with large mingalababya eyes and large "bulbous" heads. They are called "grey" (Grays). "Gray" sometimes divided into subgroups based on different physical characteristics, such as growth. In several cases, witnesses reported that saw creatures resembling robots or androids. Only in unusual cases, people claimed to have seen aliens, monsters, so often portrayed in popular movies about beings from outer space.

There are many theories, whence were foreigners, but not definitely proven. Some speculating that the aliens come from other planets, while others believe that "the parallel worlds". The hypothesis that creature from UFOs are puteshestvennikami in time from our own future also has a right to exist. The most intriguing clue to the origin of the aliens came from a report of the abduction of the spouses Betty and Barney hill. During a stay aboard the UFO Mrs. hill was shown three-dimensional map of a group of stars. She later reproduced this card under hypnosis, making the picture. Years later, a school teacher from Ohio, Margery fish, has made many models of known stellar groups in our part of the Galaxy and compared them with drawn hill star card. In the end miss fish found a match and have identified two main stars on the map as a double star Zeta time Reticuli I and II. It is interesting to note that these two stars like the Sun, and, very likely, have a planetary system - planets which may occur Rauma life.

Is it true that the aliens kidnap people?

Many claim that they were abducted by aliens and often their stories are similar to each other. Stolen explain how he has been in the round room with a domed ceiling, sun lit and filled with cold, damp air. They were lying on a special table where the aliens were conducted medical examination, using unusual scanning equipment. He undertook biological samples: hair, skin, genetic material. After the examination, they showed three-dimensional images, usually some emotional situation, such as, for example, planet of the dead from war or natural disaster. The aliens showed great interest in understanding human emotions. They communicated telepathically, pointing abducted to forget about what happened. Then they predicted future events, often a disaster, and promised to return.

After returning stolen usually remember quite a bit, noticing that inexplicably passed a certain period of time and experience physical and psychological symptoms that indicate that happened to them is strange. Unfortunately, in most cases, abductions, people in this situation can hardly control body and thus can't stop what is happening.

Although no one can prove the abduction cases, if you suddenly find yourself in this situation, try to be calm. Look around and try to remember as much as possible; ask questions. Try anything to take hold and to keep as evidence of the survey. As in life, to handle any situation you will help faith, courage and sense of humor.

Were there cases when UFOs were done harm?

From time to time, people have reported that during contact with UFOs or abduction, they were hurt or injured. Physical effects include irritation of the eyes, tan, damaging the skin, diseases. After this trial, witnesses may experience nightmares, anxiety, and may change in the nature or in the understanding of the basic principles of life. Witnesses, especially stolen, become convinced of the reality of UFOs and other paranormal phenomena, such as poltergeist or manifestation of psychic powers.

One of the most famous UFO sightings with disastrous consequences for the witnesses described the two women, Betty Cache and Vikki Landrum, and grandson of Mrs. Landrum, Colby. In December 1980, they went down the road in the desert part of Texas. Ahead they saw the bright object in the form of a faceted diamond, invergowrie flame from the bottom. Mrs. Cache stopped the car and got out to see better UFO. The object of intense heat radiated, oplevelse dashboard in her car. Frightened, Mrs. Cache returned to the car and together with the rest of them watched as the object flies. Suddenly it seemed squadron of helicopters. They approached obektu and surrounded it. Witnesses were performed at the object, followed by helicopters, until they disappeared from sight. Returning home, all three of them felt sick. After a few hours they had blisters tan on the body, nausea and diarrhea. Batty Cache were the most severe symptoms and, in the end, she needed medical help. She was hospitalized as a victim of burns. The doctor who conducted the survey concluded that all the symptoms of radiation sickness, i.e. exposure to radiation. Later, victims have sued the U.S. government, claiming that it is responsible for the harm caused. (They identified helicopters, as twin-engine helicopters Chinook (Chinook)used by the U.S. army.) The judicial process was unsuccessful, because they would never have been able to prove that UFOs or helicopters owned and managed by the American government.

Examines whether the American government UFO?

Currently, the U.S. government does not officially investigating UFO sightings, although there is some evidence indicating that different government departments continue to secretly take interest in this topic. In the past forty years, however, there were several projects and research Commission, which studied the UFO evidence, at least superficially. As UFOs are aerial phenomena, the U.S. air force from 1947 to 1969, has implemented several projects on the study of messages UFO. The most famous project "the Blue book", held from 1952 to 1969. Although over the years has received numerous reports about UFOs, including numerous testimonies of military and civilian pilots, and other technical personnel, the air force announced UFO unreal. The military has considered the reports of UFOs seriously, fearing that they may be used to confuse and interfere with the work of U.S. intelligence and communications, thus making America vulnerable to a sudden attack of some foreign powers. Some military experts have topsakal the possibility that the Soviet Union with the help of captured German scientists have developed a technology far superior to the American ones. Therefore, the air force concluded that research reports of UFOs should continue until it is proven that this possibility is unlikely. In the course of research, the air force was able to explain most of the observations of natural phenomena or wrongly identified aircraft. However, there remained several hundred messages about UFOs, not be so easy explanation.

In 1966 in America, a wave of stunning UFO sightings, widely covered in the press. Political leaders, especially congressmen have experienced intense pressure from voters, who were required to explain their observations. The Congress was organized by the special Committee, which has required the air force to give his explanations, once and for allowing this problem. In response, the air force signed a contract with the University of Colorado on the final research of the phenomenon of UFO research, which had finally resolve the issue of UFOs and give this phenomenon a satisfying explanation of each. The project was headed by Professor Edward Condon, a physicist, expressing negative opinion about life on other planets and the reality of UFOs. Several interviewees (which became known as "the Committee Condon") openly and impartially accused Professor in the sham and "flirting" with the public, thus showing its bias to this entire venture. Despite sparked a fierce debate among scientists that were fired several members of the Committee, and the Congress organized its own Symposium on UFOs, the Condon Committee continued its work and, eventually, has published the final report. In conclusion, written by Professor Condon, said that more than 20 years of experience in studying the UFO did not bring new scientific knowledge and further research is not justified. Critics have accused the Commission Condon that its report is not consistent with known data and that the whole thing was a sham from the start. Despite heated up the debate on the report of the Commission Condon, air force were clearly satisfied and used the report as a reason for the closure of the project "the Blue book" in December 1969.

Despite this, most ufologists believe that the government has an extensive databank on UFOs and secretly continued research. Their confidence was strengthened by the fact that American intelligence agencies under public pressure has published some documents showing that they collected information on UFOs, which is still classified as top secret. The government does not allow public access to these documents, despite numerous attempts by researchers to see them through "Law on freedom of information" (Freedom of Information Act; FOIA), which allows American citizens to receive any government document, the disclosure of which does not threaten national security.

In response to the government's reluctance to make public documents, a group of ufologists "Terrestrial observation UFO" (Ground Saucer Watch) began legal action to declassification of documents on UFO sightings at military bases in the 1970-ies. After "Terrestrial observation UFO" suffered financial difficulties, it took another organization "Citizens against secrecy around UFO (Citizens Against UFO Secrecy; CAUS). Although "Citizens against secrecy around UFO" argued that the disclosure of official information on UFOs can't bring damage to national security, U.S. secret agencies claimed that this would jeopardize their operations. Even when ufologists stressed that they are only interested in information on UFOs and anything related to American security, the government refused to provide the information. In the end, a Federal judge Gerhardt Hessel in closed session shared the concerns of the secret services concerning national security. Ufologists appealed the decision, utreda that the proceedings were unfair. In particular, the group pointed out that the judge was not allowed to review materials, despite the fact that the judge had every right to do. In fact, judge Gessel received only a General explanation of why the government is unable to release the documents. These lengthy explanations and gave him a base for decision making. Although "citizens against secrecy around UFO" could not win the case, the organization continues to work to get the desired documents "Law on freedom of information"

Is it true that the UFO aliens aboard crashed and was selected by the U.S. military?

Stories about the crashed UFO circulated for many years, but until recently, most people, including ufologists, considered them to be nonsense. However, recent research reveals startling evidence, which indicates that perhaps UFO crashed in the desert of new Mexico in July 1947, Farmer William Brazil found on their land wide strip, covered with a lot of strange debris. Materials with unusual characteristics prompted Brazel to deliver some of the debris in Roswell, new Mexico, to show them to the authorities. Intrigued by the debris, commander Rozalski air force Colonel Blanchard ordered two officers, intelligence officials to inspect the crash site. These were the major Jesse Marcel and captain Sheridan of Cavitt. Got acquainted with the report, Colonel Blanchard gave a secret order to have a territory. The fragments were carefully collected and taken to the army headquarters in Fort worth, Texas.

First command Rozalski base issued a press release in which it was reported that matched "flying disc", as they called UFOs. Soon this press release has been challenged and the media, who tried to find out details of the disaster, met with considerable difficulties. At a press conference in Fort worth journalists explained that the intelligence officer and other employees Rozalski airbase mistaken identification of fragments, which, in fact, belonged to meteosound with attached radar reflector. Public interest waned and events in Roswell became part UFO folklore. Most ufologists accepted the official version of the government.

It was not until the late 70's, when Jesse Marcel decided to publicly share their comments about the strange debris and other aspects Rosolska events, and history of the crashed UFO revived. New evidence shows that the government conceals the true circumstances of the crash, and the original message is selected "flying disk" was actually true. The investigation into the circumstances of the crash continues, together with pressure on the us government to end the policy of secrecy around UFO and revealed the truth about what actually crashed in the desert of new Mexico that night in July 1947.

Are there any secret of the alien base? Do US extraterrestrial technology?

Rumors about the existence of secret bases aliens exist for a long time. They say that these bases are located in different places: on the moon, on the ocean floor, more often in tropical forests. Some ufologists-extremists sure that the aliens have come in contact with the government. There are even stories about the alien objects on U.S. military bases. Some people went even further, claiming that it was working on a secret project for the study of UFOs and saw a UFO stored at military bases. Basically, people who talk about such secret alien bases or on secret projects for the study of extraterrestrial technology, are unreliable witnesses. Therefore, such certificates should podhodit with caution until we provide a reliable and independent confirmation told.

Do US extraterrestrial technology still remains a contentious issue. If history Rozalski katastrophe is true, then the answer to this question is positive and the American government has the opportunity to explore the alien technology since 1947. Could the United States to understand and to use this technology is another question. One of the researchers suggested that boomerangers UFO observed in the mid-1980's in Hudson valley, new York, was a top-secret U.S. aircraft type stealth"based on the technology of UFOs. Further research is needed to prove or disprove this hypothesis.

What is OLO?

OLO is identified flying object. In sushnosti, it is natural or artificial object, mistakenly taken for UFO. About 90-95% of all reported UFO after consideration of the communication by the experienced researcher become OLO. People take natural or other common objects for UFO, as often cannot recognize them or due to unusual weather conditions, lack of knowledge or rarity of some natural phenomena. For example, people often mistaken for UFOs planet Venus, because I didn't know how bright it is in some periods of the year. Sometimes in the role of UFO stars above the horizon, which, because of atmospheric disturbances and thermoeffect (for example, ascending streams of warm air) often flicker red and blue flowers. Stars can also be shown in the movement, approaching or moving away from the observer, which is explained by autokinesis. This psychological phenomenon in which the movement of pupils observer creates the illusion that bright object visible in the darkness, moving. Trying to identify UFO from OLO, the investigator must obtain as much information as possible about observation, not while also encouraging witnesses to give false details. It is also important that the study evidence nabludenie UFO was started as mojno before the witness remembers the details.

It is interesting to note that messages about OLO, as well as about the real UFO, in the last decade has decreased. For example, people don't confuse with UFOs Venus or new experimental aircraft. The causes of the decline in the number of messages OLO worthy of serious consideration as may shed light on the nature of the UFO phenomenon. If UFO observations are mistakenly identified natural or artificial objects, according to many skeptics, why people do not confuse these objects today? If messages UFOs are the result of mental problems, then it turns out that the reduction messages UFO associated with ululunium mental health of people. If UFOs are a manifestation of an unknown natural phenomenon, then what happened with the earthly nature, leading to a reduction messages UFO? The answers to these and other questions can provide the missing pieces to the puzzle UFO.

Involvement of UFOs to injury animals?

Haven't calm down the controversy over alleged connection between UFOs and strange cases of mutilation animals. Many researchers argues that the unusual circumstances surrounding the death of some animals, indicate the intervention of UFOs. They cite reports of strange lights or aircraft next to the fields, where later found mutilated animals. On dead animals find such physical evidence, as puncture wounds, missing body parts, lack or total absence of blood, indicating that someone deliberately and skillfully killed them for some unknown purpose. One of the popular theories on this subject is possible to carry out genetic experiments on them. Other researchers, including ufologists, skeptical about the possible communion UFO, citing evidence indicates that the earth causes such as disease and predators, can explain these seemingly mysterious deaths of animals. It also requires a systematic examination of the evidence before making a conclusion about UFOs for injured animals.

Who are "men in black"?
Where are the rumors about mysterious black helicopters?

Tell us about them as about humanoid creatures who are intimidated witnesses of UFOs or researchers and threaten them. Their facial features and behavior described as strange. Their manners and language is harsh and formal - something automatic and comic, but none the less threatening. The version about who are the men in black includes government agents and extraterrestrial biorobots. One popular theory is that they are hallucinations that people are experiencing of trauma in contact with UFOs. Another says they are notorious hoax.

Like "the men in black", talking about the mystical black helicopters that threaten witnesses. Saw them in a low flight over the houses and cars witnesses of UFOs, but never saw that they had landed. Some suggest that this is a military observation helicopters, while others believe that it is a UFO, disguised as helicopters.

It is also possible that a witness, injured by contact with UFOs identifies the usual flight path of the helicopter with his observation UFO communication, based on delusions of persecution rather than on concrete evidence.
