Best products from r/UAP

Since no one else has mentioned it, I have to give a recommendation to the one person I think exemplifies UAP, Jacques Vallee.


In particular:

Messengers of Deception: UFO Contacts and Cults

Dimensions: A Casebook of Alien Contact

And of worthy must reads imo:Confrontations – A Scientist's Search for Alien Contact

Free Download link


Im sure all his work is fascinating(still havent read Wonders in the Sky), but these books in particular gave me a wonderful new view of uapology, as I was studying psychology at the time, and very interested in how our brains create their own realities. They are fresh, very scientifically focused(read: sometimes boring), and based on his own work, with an approach most ufologists arent familiar with. Until I read this stuff I had a very nuts & bolts view of the phenomenon.


He has created some of the best scientific foot work for UAP study,...that unfortunately, few in the scientific community have yet to embrace, yet his work in classification and sticking to some of the best unexplained cases, has to make any non-believer question the issue.


I would suggest more Vallee links, but his wiki has some great pdfs on the bottom of it already,...wonder if anyone will bother to open them,...?

I'm pumped about this new sub. Hopefully we can weed out all of the bullshit and actually feel good about directing others interested in the material here and know they'll be properly educated on the subject. Kudos to everyone involved in setting this up.

I do have a few suggested additions to the sidebar--

Notable Scientists & Military Personnel

• Major Donald Keyhoe - 1958 interview w/Mike Wallace
  
  
• Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter - the third Director of Central Intelligence (DCI), the first director of the Central Intelligence Agency created by the National Security Act of 1947, a NICAP board member and good friend of Donald Keyhoe. Conflict of interest, much?

  I'm sure I'll have a bunch more to add, but I have to actually get some work done today haha. Again, well done peoples!

For those who have followed the good professor (or his blog), you'll be glad to know he's finally delivered the long promised goods. This one is likely to be an instant classic and must have for UFOlogists and UAP interested academics.

This was referenced in Jacques Vallee's extremely interesting book UFO Chronicles of the Soviet Union. According to his notes it was translated by NASA as Technical Memorandum no. 75665 (1980). It also seems to have been published by CUFOS in this edition.

Can /r/UAP hunt down a digital copy of this report? Go redditors, go!

While we wait, I will reproduce what Vallee quotes from the report. He is particularly interested in the Soviet emphasis on the polymorphous aspect of the pheomena:

> These changes include change of shape of the object (transition from one shape to another); separation of one object from another; the connection of one object to another; "extinction" of a luminous object; gradual dissipation of an object; organization of a new object. (Vallee, 171)

and

> When such changes occur, we speak of several phases of forming. In each phase, the objects have a stable shape. Any change means a transition to the next phase. Phase of the phenomenon can be distinguished by other characteristics, for example, by a change in the parameters of motion. In order to emphasize that the matter has to do with changes in shape, we call the corresponding phases "forming phases". (Vallee, 172)

The report is said to confirm Vallee's Law of Times (explained in his book Challenge to Science), which says that close encounters peak around 9-10pm. According to a graph Vallee shows, the Soviet paper included 207 reports.

I'm circling back around to let you know of a book I'm reading right now. It was written by a NASA scientist who witnessed a UAP. He was not allowed to even mention the incident because the official line of NASA is to deny that UFOs exist and his employment was dependent on following the policy.

What I love about this book is that it is a scientific analysis from an actual rocket scientist's engineering viewpoint. The other part I like is that he looks for the similarities in events and then uses known physics to explain much of the characteristics of a UAP.

It's a technical but good read for those looking for a scientific/engineering viewpoint: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JRMRK8M/ref=oh_aui_d_detailpage_o00_?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm surprised that the book "Project Identification - The First Scientific Field Study of UFO Phenomena", by Harley D. Rutledge, was left out of that list...

Do you have any specific claims of his you want addressed?

I think Randle focuses on Roswell, which is a massive clusterfuck of misinformation and straight up lies.

I don't know if anything of importance will come of it.

Randle has done a good job explaining that whatever did crash at Roswell wasn't a Project Mogul balloon: http://kevinrandle.blogspot.com/search/label/Project%20Mogul

But maybe it was something else that was confidential. Humans have put a lot of weird shit in space:

Regarding Roswell, I don't think the US has "faster than light" or anti-gravity machines, I don't think it was ETH.

I think some technology of the US might've crashed, and then a mythology of aliens was built up around it, in this specific case. Whether that is intentional or not is up for debate, and who honestly knows?

Consider whether the US wanted to hoax a crashed alien flying saucer...they could do that with ease.

Regarding Abductions, I don't think there is very much to it.
