Welcome
The large picture on the left above is a detail from a painting from the 15th century, believed to be by Fra Filippo Lippi. It looks for all the world like photographs from the late 20th Century, including the one shown here from Japan in 1970, the one near Big Bear Mountain, shown as # 5 in our slideshow, and the one over Tikul, slide # 4, among many others of similar shape . The prehistoric cave art on the right has a line engraving that seems a ringer for the silhouette of a UFO taken off the coast of southern Australia.
Welcome to Our Interplanetary Future : A UFO Primer for Skeptics. It is material appropriate to the sub-title that is the subject of most of the book, aimed at the skeptical or the disinterested. But I feel that the smaller portion of the material, that which is more germane to the main title, is perhaps the more important, and is aimed at all potential readers, including those well versed in the subject.
To those who do read this book, I trust that you will never again succumb, if ever you did, to the glib pronouncement: “There is no proof.” There is a virtual mountain of proof, enough to meet whatever exacting standard anyone should require. The many thousands of eyewitnesses furnishing detailed descriptions include hundreds of airline pilots, many military pilots, ordered to intercept and sometimes to shoot down these exotic craft, every astronaut and cosmonaut, at least through the 1970s, that ever went into space, ships’ captains and crews, law enforcement officers, and many thousands of respectable citizens from every walk of life. They come from over 60 countries.
Our Interplanetary Future
For many decades, as outlined above, there have been detailed reports of sightings of unfamiliar crafts in the sky and sometimes resting on the ground. The speed, maneuverability and other performance attributes of these craft have far exceeded anything within the capability of any entity on Earth. There have indeed been many mistakes and a few hoaxes, which do not affect the efficacy of the others. Though our government has denied their existence, they have confiscated every scrap of physical evidence, and conducted extensive research in an attempt to duplicate the crafts’ performance. We all hope they succeed. But, this book argues, there is no need to deny to the civilian population the other benefits to be gained, matters that could be of no interest to the military.
