quotations about UFOs
I believe in UFOs, in that, I believe there are unidentified objects flying in the air, which haven't gotten a definitive categorization. And when they do get an explanation, it's weather balloons, or Venus, or airplanes, or fireworks, or drones, or a hoax. It's never aliens.

Accounts of enormous, silent triangular-shaped ships are now being reported every week, with dozens of videos, and even more photos and drawings, surfacing. Triangle UFOs have been spotted all over the world, with notable sightings documented in California, South Carolina, Texas, Buenos Aires, Maryland, Virginia, and the United Kingdom. One witness in Illinois even wrote in to MUFON about how they experienced missing time after watching multiple triangle crafts eerily survey their campsite.

Here's the thing. A huge percentage of the population is now carrying around their own personal tricorder, which will record audio, video and take amazing pictures, even of a dimly lit alien spaceship. And yet, there still hasn't been any definitive, scientifically proven evidence for aliens. Google is watching everywhere I go, and reminds me that I visited Home Depot last week. You'd think the occasional trip to an orbital research facility would get picked up.

When science progresses on various planes, then such visitations become less accidental and more planned. However, since the inhabitants of each plane are bound by the particular materialized patterns of their 'home,' they bring this pattern of camouflaged vitality with them. Certain kinds of science cannot operate without it. When the inhabitants of a plane have learned mental science patterns, then they are to a great degree freed from the more regular camouflage patterns ... the flying saucer appearances come from a system much more advanced in technological sciences than yours. However, this is still not a mental science plane. Therefore, the camouflage paraphernalia appears, more or less visible, to your astonishment. So strong is this tendency for vitality to change from one apparent form to another, that what you have here in your flying saucers is something that is actually not of your plane nor of the plane of its origins. What happens is this: When the 'flying saucer' starts out toward its destination, the atoms and molecules that compose it (and which are themselves formed by vitality) are more or less aligned according to the pattern inflicted upon it by its own territory. As it enters your plane, a distortion occurs. The actual structure of the craft is caught in a dilemma of form. It is caught between transforming itself completely into earth's particular camouflage pattern, and retaining its original pattern.

To begin with, many aspects of UFO sightings have to do with the paranormal; yet psychic phenomena, paranormal phenomena have been consistently pushed under the rug by most UFO investigators. That is due in part to the fact that witnesses tell you such things only after you have gained their trust. But very often they are a challenge to the beliefs or the world view of the investigators. They may not be ready to hear it or they may not publish it because they think it would damage their credibility. And since they are in the business of giving credibility to the subject they don't want to reveal the paranormal aspects of it.

What struck me more than the book's UFO stories, however, was the common thread weaving among them of breathtaking alterations in consciousness associated with the experiences -- sensations of leaving the body, of flying through the air or being "carried along by the wind," and receiving "startling and novel insights into the nature of reality" that reverberated thereafter with profound, life-changing effects.

Speaking of Jane Roberts
We are part of a symbiotic relationship with something which disguises itself as an extra-terrestrial invasion so as not to alarm us.

lecture on UFOs
Some reputable scientists deny and others assert that UFOs do appear to people from time to time. Some scientists have reached the place where they think they can prove that these are possibly visitors from outer space. Some Christian writers have speculated that UFOs could very well be apart of God's angelic host who preside over the physical affairs of universal creation. While we cannot assert such a view with certainty, many people are now seeking some type of supernatural explanation for these phenomena. Nothing can hide the face, however, that these unexplained events are occurring with greater frequency around the entire world and in unexpected places.

Angels: Ringing Assurance that We Are Not Alone
Yes, there were a handful of incidents. Knowing of my interest in UFOs, a breathless naval aviator called me one day to report that he was present minutes earlier when a Navy jet landed after being circled by a UFO in broad daylight. The Navy did not pursue the issue as far as I could tell. I also recall the Maui Optical Tracking Facility, which tracks satellites, recording a flight of four or five fiery UFOs traversing the night sky. Nobody knew what to make of it. But no government official expressed the slightest interest even after the tape was featured on ABC's Nightline. I found the utter lack of scientific curiosity due to political correctness highly frustrating.

There's a fascinating frailty of the human mind that psychologists know all about, called "argument from ignorance." This is how it goes. Remember what the "U" stands for in "UFO"? You see lights flashing in the sky. You've never seen anything like this before and don't understand what it is. You say, "It's a UFO!" The "U" stands for "unidentified." But then you say, "I don't know what it is; it must be aliens from outer space, visiting from another planet." The issue here is that if you don't know what something is, your interpretation of it should stop immediately. You don't then say it must be X or Y or Z. That's argument from ignorance. It's common. I'm not blaming anybody; it may relate to our burning need to manufacture answers because we feel uncomfortable about being steeped in ignorance.

Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier
It's disclosure at a civilian level. Some people are really crass about it -- "Oh, you have no proof." We do have data here. We have thousands and thousands of people reporting them and telling us what they are. Are they extraterrestrial craft? Couldn't tell you. Interdimensional? Couldn't tell you. But with high numbers of these things, anything is possible.

Whenever we discuss this topic, and move on from asking whether they are here to why they are here, we will always end up with labels of gods, demons, angels, and more. Human beings love to categorize and judge things they do not understand, but if we take a step back and look at the evidence objectively, we'll see that the most common theme in contact stories is care for our planet, as well as a spiritual understanding of ourselves and the nature of the universe.

Don't you believe in flying saucers, they ask me? Don't you believe in telepathy? -- in ancient astronauts? -- in the Bermuda triangle? -- in life after death? "No," I reply. "No, no, no, no, and again no." One person recently, goaded into desperation by the litany of unrelieved negation, burst out "Don't you believe in anything?" "Yes", I said. "I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be."

The Roving Mind
A few years ago I was driving through the Nevada dessert with my family close to the famous area 51 military base. Now you're only allowed within a certain distance of the base but believe me I got as close as I could. And what I saw was unbelievable. I've never seen anything like it, there were crafts, they were erratic -- objects going from one point in the sky to the other in split seconds and disappearing and reappearing -- it blew my mind.

I think we have to ask ourselves a key question, and then bring it forward. "Are there UFO cases that are sufficiently well-documented to warrant a scientific investigation of the phenomenon?" In my view, the answer is yes.

While most sightings have conventional explanations, I think it is stunning how many reports come in regularly to groups like MUFON, with impressive detail, including photos or videos. I often hear from skeptics, "If UFOs are out there how come nobody ever gets a video with all the smartphones around?" That is ignorant, it happens all the time!

The question is not: "Are UFOs real?" People are definitely seeing something. The question is: "What exactly are they seeing?"

Other Worlds
The question of extraterrestrial contact opens up a pandora's box of questions and concerns, and it's no coincidence, I believe, that all of this is happening at a critical time on our planet. This is part of the major consciousness shift that's happening on the planet right now, as we step into the world that's been hidden from us for years. Extraterrestrial disclosure has the potential to completely change the way we think about multiple aspects of human life, as it is and would be the biggest story in human history to date.

The things is, the Media keeps the topic perpetually dumbed down -- either consciously or unconsciously -- by attaching caricature photos like the one to the left. It's too easy to dismiss the theory of visitation if every time you portray 'believers' (which in fact is a misnomer) as Alex Jonesian kooks.
