Subject: UFOs As Nuts-And-Bolts Flying Machines


UFOs as nuts-and-bolts flying machines, Paul Hill's book

I'm approaching the subject of UFOs from a strictly 'nuts and
bolts' perspective, as advanced flying machines built by ETs  -
vs the more exotic theories I've read, one of which goes as far
as to consider UFOs "living space-dwelling creatures, coming to
Earth to mate!"...

I found support for this "nuts and bolts" approach in the book
"Unconventional Flying Objects" ISBN 1-57174-027-9 by Paul Hill
( Bio at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_R._Hill NASA
scientist, who privately acted as a "citizen's clearinghouse" of
UFO sighting data, separating wheat from chaff, for 2 decades).
It  was written in the 1970s but published post-humously in
1995.

Here follows a list of the key points
from that book from:

March 30, 1998

I just got the book Unconventional Flying Objects. It looks good
so far - up to p. 49. Call 800 766 8009, or fax 804 296 5096 or
call 804 296 2772 to get a copy. It is the UFO "smoking gun".
This book is a must-read especially for CSICOPs skeptics like
Leon Jaroff and Victor Stenger. Phillip Corso's book gains a new
credibility. Unlike Corso, Hill is a no-nonsense matter-of-fact
well-trained (NASA) engineer who knows the right stuff,
understands scientific method and conventional physics and has
detailed data and checkable analysis. Hill personally saw UFOs
and his descriptions are very detailed. Hill could be teaching
undergraduate physics or basic engineering at any California
State University. He would fit right in if he were still alive.
If NASA's Marc Millis and his friends have not yet read this
book they better now. They probably have read it but are not
going public. Indeed, Hill's book is probably the reason that
NASA Administrator, Dan Goldin, is supporting "breakthrough
propellantless propulsion".

All of my military friends reading this, especially my
special friend with combat pilot-training writing the new
manual, need to study this book ASAP! In fact, the NATO air
forces need to be advised on this ASAP. Hill's book needs to be
distributed to key NATO military. It also needs to be
distributed to Colonel John Alexander's "Nonlethal Warfare"
Network. The Navy also has a need to know because UFOs can
maneuver on the surface of and under water. Make it so.***

A few key points. I will go into more detail as I read through
the book.

These objects are real machines, not merely projections of
Jungian archetypes in the mind or intrusions of extra-
dimensional beings. I am not denying that both of the latter may
not also be playing a more subtle role. I am a bit puzzled now
about exactly where Jacques Vallee stands on the metallic
machine evidence for UFOs?

1. There are smaller disk-shaped craft that come from a larger
cigar-shaped "mother ship".

2. Sizes range from 8 inches to a 1000 feet for the mother
cylindrical craft. There is also a "dirigible" version of a few
hundred feet. The disks are in range of 1 to 30 meters. Saturn-
like vehicles with a "ring" are in 5 to 15 meter range. Conical
hat types about 200 meters.

3. Color in daylight brightly polished silver to dull aluminum.
Flat-bottoms are darker underneath in a central circular area or
in annular ring near the rim. Running lights at night in many
patterns. Blinking, theater marquee, Xmas tree. Solid lights in
red, orange, amber, yellow, blue, blue-violet, brilliant white
singly and in combinations. Solid colors resemble neon lighting.

4. Halos at night, neon-like, solid color luminescence emanating
from an envelope of air around the metallic hard surfaces.
Bullets ricochet from these surfaces. In saucers and saturns the
halo concentrates near the "ring" rim more intensely below than
above it. Sometimes an ice cream cone halo underneath the
saucer. The big cylindrical mother ships sometimes have great
white cloud.

5. Wakes: dirigibles and cylinders have plume-like wakes when
accelerating rapidly or moving a high speeds. These wakes are
gray to straw-colored in daylight, flame-colored at night. UFOs
can move slow at 100 mph without generating a wake.

6. Jitter - at times they vibrate heavily. UFO motion is jerky
and jittery at low speed. This could be an optical effect rather
than a real jitter.

7. Absence of heat near a UFO. So not much infra-red emanations.
Mild sensation of warmth. The surfaces of the UFO are not very
hot. Nothing is at a red heat.

8. Maneuvers. Hovering at any altitude is common. UFOs hover
close to the ground for long times instead of landing. The
different maneuvers include:

a. falling leaf or UFO-rock like a coin falling in water
b. silver-dollar wobble - like a coin with a slow spin on a flat
surface. This maneuver is consistently observed at the end of a
rapid descent as the UFO initiates hovering
c. acute-angle turn with rapid stop at the vertex
d. sudden reversal of direction
e. bank and turn - exactly like conventional aircraft
f. straight-away speed run either horizontal or vertical!
g. tilt to maneuver "UFOs tilt to perform all maneuvers ... they
sit level to hover, tilt forward to move forward, tilt backward
to stop, bank to turn"

9. Speed 9,000 mph at altitudes 60,000 feet, 18,000 feet,, 3,500
feet from military radar observations.

10. Accelerations are typically 100g, which is 10x larger than
our fighting air machines, but less than our small anti-tank
tube or gun-launched missiles whose internal computers and
gyroscopes are designed to withstand 9,000g back in 1975. What
would such a small missile do to a UFO at close range?

* Note this 100g figure is what is seen by external observers.
The ship itself and its occupants may be in the local inertial
frame (LIF) motion of "free-float" i.e. zero g just like our
astronauts orbiting the Earth with rockets switched off and no
spinning of the craft.*

11. UFOs observed as high as 200 miles from surface of Earth. So
they are space-capable.

12. Sound: hum, buzz, whine at close quarters. Sound rises in
both pitch and intensity seconds before and during take-off.
Steady motion either a light swish-of-air sound or running
absolutely silent. With few exceptions NO ROAR OR BOOM WHEN
MOVING AT SUPERSONIC SPEED!

13. Weight 30 tons - for an ellipsoidal craft 6 meters axial, 3
meters cross diameter. This is 965 kilos per cubic meter, which
is like our modern nuclear submarines, but is more than our jet
airplanes. UFOs have retractable landing gear three 6"x12"
rectangles in equilateral triangle of 6 meter sides with X-print
5" deep in hard soil, for a 10 meter disk.

14. Nests and rings: saucers land without extending their
retractable gear in reeds or soft ground leaving nest-like
imprints. They swirl down grass rings like the "crop circles"
perhaps? Hovering saucers form chemically and physicall altered
annular rings in the earth itself. Also charred roots and wilted
plants are found.

15. Propulsion: no visible means. There is no jet propulsion.
There is no ejection of propellant of any kind. The 100g
accelerations would require conventional jet engines that are
unattainable with known technology. This is not how they do it.
Some kind of force field is involved. These fields bend and
break tree branches, bump or slow automobiles spinning them out
of control or tipping them over, stop people by force or knock
them down.

16. High degree of nuclear radioactivity and X-rays near UFOs!
This is not healthy.

17. Merging: spheres and saucers leave and enter large cylinders
and dirigibles.

18. Occupants seen engaged in collecting plants, minerals,
water, manually and using suction hoses.

19. EMP is strong. All electrical circuitry interupted,
batteries are burned out, gasoline engines stop, diesel engines
OK. Conventional fighter aircraft attacking UFOs at close
quarters will be destroyed by EMP unless specially hardened.

20. Alien weaponry includes heat beams, paralyzing beams, force
tractor beams both as tools and weapons. UFO occupants are
apparently not mad dogs killing sadistically. Generally they use
nonlethal levels for their weapons to defend against attacks.
NATO forces should not initiate attacks unless attacked. UFOs
have pattern of intruding on our defense bases and also key
hydroelectric plants. They are also interested in getting close
to water like lakes.
