UFOs It has begun

Researchers talk about UFO landing sites, 1970s/80s/90s -update with some notes

I tried a few times up until his death to ask Ted Phillips how I could get to see the test results from his "decades" of gathering samples and carrying out analyses. I know that my messages WERE received but no responses. This seemed to be odd from a man who wanted to see Ufology be scientific and convince the scientific community about UFO reality. 

I have searched for technical papers, which researchers are expected to publish for peer review (science). Nothing. 

CUFOS only has the notes ("Catalogue") which are pointless since, as I repeatedly pointed out, this contains a number of historical cases for which we have NO evidence and also includes reports from Vallee of known hoaxes and so forth. NOT in the least bit scientific and the "catalogue" was shocking.

After Phillips' death his work was inherited by Thomas M. Ferrario who claimed that Phillips said various things which seem odd but, hey -Phillips cannot tell us if true or not. Ferrario also claimed in intervioews that he was continuing the "highest scientific standards" as set out by Phillips.  I have tried to get some sort of conversation going with Ferrario and my last email from a few months back read:

"Hi. My name is Terry Hooper-Scharf and I am based in the UK. From 1977 -2007 I "Officially Unofficially" investigated UFOs Reports as Head of the Anomalous Observational Phenomena Bureau (AOP B) and from 1974 to date I have specialised in CE3K reports and run the CE3K/Alien Entity Project. I was hoping that you might be able to help me with a query.

One thing I keep getting asked by more science orientated folk is why is there no physical evidence of UFOs. I have tried to look on the internet for any of the work carried out by Ted Phillips that lists evidence found and what tests results showed. To date I have failed. So can I ask if there is a data base of the evidence and test results I can access? I'm hoping you'll have the answer! My thanks in advance. Terry"

Straight forward and polite inquiry, right? Not a word in response and I have tried Face Book messenger and email. Then a whilke back I watched his interview in which he exposed the fact, well, just came out with it and he had never mentioned this on serious UFO podcasts, that he was into the whole Illuminati, pseudo-religious almost cult UFO belief -don't believe me? https://terryhooper.blogspot.com/2022/09/the-dave-emmons-and-tom-althouse-show.html

I could actually feel the blood drain from my face in disbelief. It was quite clear that Ferrario had totally opted out of science and into fringe cult.

There are no papers or test results available and what you see in the video above ("contaminated" soil floating on water while "normal" soil absorbs water ) can be faked.  Is this something of a bitter pill to swallow? Yes. For years our response to debunkers was that Ufology had some scientists involved and we pointed to Jacques Vallee (which nowe makes me feel like a moron) and we also stated that Ted Phillips, a friend and collaborator of Vallee's, had gathered hundreds of samples and had just as many analyses carried out -hard science.

I think that we were all conned. Whether financial or other reasons were involved I have no idea.  However, and I have asked as many people as possible, no scientists have seen Phillips' work and analyses. It's a pot full of flying monkies.  It might be why, when I was watching Phillips interviews he kept querying aspects of UFOs that his analyses etc were supposed to have covered.

There are scientists associated with Vallee and others who are also playing the "we have analyses proving we have exotic materials" and then they tell us the tests have not yet been carried out.

One of the commonest materials submitted as being UFO related is aluminium alloy.  I have handled these and analyses often come up with strange results "not of this Earth" YET I know exactly where the samples came from and even submitted samples as "test pieces".  Aluminum alloys can be broadly separated into two categories which are: cast aluminum alloys and wrought aluminum alloys. The cast alloys of aluminum are those which contain > 22% alloying elements by composition: wrought alloys of aluminum contain ≤4%. And there are three basic types of Aluminum comes in three basic types: 1100, 3003, and 6061. The grade of the aluminum will determine the end-use application. 1100 is a lower-cost material than 6061 but cannot be used for high-temperature applications like cooking utensils or pot lids.  Two samples of aluminium I had tested were taken from an old bus depot and repair sheets kept in store: "Composition not known on this planet".

I publish all the test results and I have even shared some "UFO samples" which were declared to be of a genuinely "unknown material/composition" and even sending a photograph of the sheet the material came from resulted in nothing but a couple declarations that I had no idea what I was talking about and/or had been "deceived".

I have asked UFO organisations such as MUFON i9n the United States as well as BUFORA in the UK for any copies of analyses of materials claimed to have originated from a UFO. Several times. Several times polite requests, messages received but no responses. The Ubatuba, Brasil UFO fragment is often cited as being of unknown origin. Truerr BUT not extra terrestrial origin as pointed out in a 2004 paper by P. SturrockComposition Analysis of the Brazil Magnesium https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Composition-Analysis-of-the-Brazil-Magnesium-Sturrock-Sturrock/c1f8a88ed69cf2a6dcccacebe992db42df814bef

"Some of the surviving fragments of the Brazil magnesium that purportedly had their origin in the explosion of a UFO have been subjected to surface, internal and isotopic analyses. The surface composition of four of the specimens has been determined to better than 1 part per million (ppm). There are some similarities, but also significant differences, so it is clear that the specimens were subjected to different influences. 

"Some of the impurities (such as sodium and calcium) may be due to seawater or sand, but many of the impurities are incompatible with such contamination. Some of the impurities (titanium, chromium, iron, cobalt, selenium, strontium, yttrium, niobium, palladium and barium) may point toward an origin in a technological device or devices. Two specimens of Brazil magnesium, together with four comparison specimens, have been subjected to internal analysis by a laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrograph (ICP-MS) instrument. 

"This analysis shows that the Brazil specimens contain calcium at a few thousand ppm and (as found by the Colorado Project) both strontium and barium at a few hundred ppm. One specimen also contains titanium at a few hundred ppm. This analysis indicates that the existing Brazil samples are not as pure as magnesium specimens readily available in the 1950s. Some of the specimens have been subjected to isotopic analysis. 

"The only departures from normal isotopic ratios are small differences that may be attributed to fractionation as a result of heat treatment. The origin of these fragments remains a mystery. There is no evidence that the specimens are of extraterrestrial origin"

All I can say is that the Ubatuba is one of those mythical things within Ufology and you can read more about it at UFO Casebook https://www.ufocasebook.com/ubatuba.html

We need to see analyses carried out openly by recognised labs and those analysis results openly published -this can be done online these days- so that scientists can peer review and where possible request samples to carry out their own analyses. 

Like Vallee's fiction heavy UFO Landings Catalogue I think that we can safely ignore the Phillips Physical Traces Catalogue unless data is released as it, too, is fiction heavy.

If I am wrong and there are papers and analyses please feel free to correct me (and I am not talking about an odd article Phillips may have written for a magazine) and I can correct my statement.

Ancient Apocalypse, Fact Or Fiction? Episode 1

UFO Classified with Erica Lukes -Thoughts and a few swear words included

Erica Lukes' last show last night and she mentions needing UFO records to be archived at different locations so they can be shared and mentioned the AFU but she was thinking more in the US. That makes sense because trans-Atlantic travel to look at papers that used to belong to a person who lived 30 miles away at one point is insane.

Another kick in the teeth as she and Jack Brewer (an alleged very experienced veteran Ufologist who tends, admittedly, to think CE3K reports are modern folklore) discuss abductions and that they tell us "nothing" about what we are seeing up in the sky and that shows why 50 years of work means nothing: I did point out to both in a comment that you need to seperate Hopkins, Jacobs and co from serious researchers -no comment though the ones before and after mine were responded to.

These are people who claim to be looking for the facts and to move the subject on but who/what might be flying these UFOs is unimportant. Other comments from guests show they want to be the intellectual elite but it is NOT all "modern folklore"

*Does folklore given you a dose of radiation?

*Does folklore cause physiological effects in a person?

*Folklore causing mental shock and post traumatic stress disorder??

* Folklore that blinds a person and creates long term health issues?

I actually READ books. I have a shelf full of fairylore books from the 19th century to early 20th and none of these effects are noted (even if Forteans misquote and twist aspects of some accounts).

Well, ***** me for 50 years I thought that I was investigating Close Encounters of the Third Kind and alien entity reports all in association with UFOs to try7 to get to the truth and all I was doing was becoming a folklorist.

I have been enjoying the show but at least four times now we have had 'veteran Ufologists' who dismiss CE3K accounts or simply sit on their asses and say "What's all this little guys stuff about?" Seriouisly; what the fuck have you been doing during your "decades in research"? Picking your nose?

I tend to try to keep things polite but we know the Old and New Ufologists are just publicity seeking bad researchers, liars and frauds chasing the money. Now we have people want to smash all of that out of the way bu8t "let's ignore the silly CE3K cases -they mean nothing". About time that people who keep claiming that they want to make Ufology a serious subject (heard that since the 1970s so many times I lost count) but it is not. Look at the bright shiny things in the sky -let's find out what they are! Someone at the same time reported a landing and "little guys" -we can ignore that.

That is not making UFOs a seruious topic., That is the same shit we had in the 1950s (where only money making contactees were welcome because they put paying bums on seats). Same in the 1960s. Same in the 1970s. Same in the 1980s (after that bunko team of Hopkins and Jacobs got started only abductees were accepted with no one questioning anything and "no abduction? Not interested" was the norm.) Same in the 1990s. Same in the 2000s and it looks as though it will continue on under "new more evidence based researchers".

Some aircraft or helicopter lands unexpectedly we check it out to see who is flying it. Oh bless the sainted "veteran Ufologists" that we should ever look at who/what might be flying or inside seemingly constructed craft that cannot be identified.

Am I angry? I am fucking livid. I now at least know not to bother to share information with since I only specialise in 'folklore'. This is exactly why Ufology will NEVER be taken seriously and the messengers of deception within it will keep running the show and earning the big bucks.

The Cryptid Almas Zana | RRM -added comments

Using art imagery that has nothing to do with an almas or Zana does not help this badly researched and full of errors video. But...its cryptozoology.

When Brian Sykes and his team carried out DNA on remains it was found that Zana was of African (West African I believe) ancestry so probably started out as a slave. in fact, I wrote this in 2015:

The myth of Bigfoot has titillated people over the centuries, with sightings recorded in the Himalayas and northwest America.

Now a leading geneticist claims to have found the best evidence that a woman who lived in 19th century Russia could have been a yeti.

Professor Bryan Sykes of the University of Oxford believes that a towering woman named Zana, had a strain of West African DNA that belonged to a subspecies of modern humans.

Her resemblance has been described as that of a wild beast, and "'the most frightening feature of which was her expression which was pure animal", one Russian zoologist wrote in 1996 according to a report in the Times.

The man who organised various eyewitness accounts of Zana wrote: "Her athletic power was enormous.

"She would outrun a horse and swim across the Moskva river, even when it rose in violent high tide.'"

Some have argued that she was a runaway Ottoman slave, but Professor Sykes says her "unparalleled DNA" refutes that theory.

Analysis of her DNA revealed that she was "100% African", but bore little physical or genetic resemblance to any modern African group, according to Sykes.

He believes her ancestors came out of Africa over 100,000 years ago and lived in the remote Caucasus for many generations.

Zana was eventually "tamed" by the nobleman who bought her as a servant and kept her on his estate in Tkhina in the Republic of Abkhazia, according to local accounts.

She was described as being incredibly muscular, slept outdoors and ran around naked until she died on the estate in 1890.

Some of the professor's colleagues doubt his previous findings – which include a claim that an unknown species of bear might account for yeti sightings in Bhutan.

Despite the lack of hard proof from the analysis of the alleged "yeti hairs"', he says he has developed a strong sense that "something is out there" after speaking to dozens of witnesses.

Professor Sykes could not say if the yeti, Bigfoot or the Russian almas is the best candidate for a surviving race of human "apemen".

He said: 'Bigfoot has many more people trying to find it. But I suppose either the yeti or the
alma/almasty, which live in inaccessible and very thinly populated regions, is the most likely.'

Sykes claims to have made further discoveries about Zana since he wrote the book, and says that he will publish them in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

There you have it. Zana and her origins were identified over 8 years ago and I know that cryptozoology can be slow but this is ridiculous...oh, of course, cryptozoologists also like to twist or ignore facts to keep mysteries going -far more lucrative.

As with Ufology, if cryptozoology presents a mystery that is not it has to be exposed so that, eventually, we can get to the REAL truthful data.

Jacques Vallee: UFOs Are NOT Physically Real -But I Have A Fragment Of One!

I have been reposting this article for a very good reason; Vallee's "scientific study of UFOs" is being churned up again and yet, as this article notes, his research seemed to be a form of copy and paste of anything he heard that fitted his story and got him more book deals and lucrative lecture fees.   

The man is pushing "UAP" and debris from a crashed UFO when he has declared he does not believe UFOs are extraterrestrial. He is also co-author on a book he appears to have carried out no research for about a very quickly proven 1940s UFO crash hoax. And when you look at his "connections" in Ufology you see what is going on.

The latest claim is that Vallee was part of the United States Air force Project Blue Book investigation into UFOs. I've not seen Vallee claim this but others and I cannot help thinking they are confusing Vallee with the character from Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind movie!

Everyone is entitled to have an opinion and be heard including Vallee but they must also be open to scrutiny and their research (Vallee's is not peer reviewed) and claims examined.

 PHOTOGRAPH: CHRISTIE HEMM KLOK

After watching Erica Lukes chat (well, her guest did all the talking!) last night (see previous post) it was interesting to see yet another person querying Jacques Vallee. ImDB lists Vallee as also being an actor (I write nothing!). You go to Wikipedia and it states:

"Jacques Fabrice Vallée; born September 24, 1939) is an Internet pioneer, computer scientist, venture capitalist, author, ufologist and astronomer currently residing in San Francisco, California and Paris, France."

In case you are wondering what a venture capitalist or sometimes simply capitalist, it is a person who makes capital investments in companies in exchange for an equity stake. The venture capitalist is often expected to bring managerial and technical expertise, as well as capital, to their investments. A venture capital fund refers to a pooled investment vehicle (in the United States, often an LP or LLC) that primarily invests the financial capital of third-party investors in enterprises that are too risky for the standard capital markets or bank loans. These funds are typically managed by a venture capital firm, which often employs individuals with technology backgrounds (scientists, researchers), business training and/or deep industry experience

Basically, Vallee puts up his name to, say, Skinwalker Ranch, and he makes cash out of it. Everyone has to make a living and research cannot be carried out without finances (tell me about it).  Hey, Vallee has done pretty good out of thois since the 1960s. He's a good self publicist and a very poor researcher. Proven.

Let's look at the facts here. Vallee has a claim to fame that he was involved in tracking what we call the Black Knight satellite in the 1960s and he wrote up the data and presented it to his boss. His boss, for a reason that makes no sense.  Remember: the French have always been at the forefront of science which is why in the past you mention the Frenchj Academy of Sciences and people were in awe. The French, military, scientific and Space agency have all been at the forefront when it comes to UFOs as well and that goes back to the early 1950s. Yet, here we have Vallee stating his boss was not going to get invbolved in the UFO business and destroyed all the evidence (the report).  Here is where I have to call bull shit.

You are a scientist/researcher. You make notes, copies of any photographs or other materials such as maps, etc and you keep them in a raw data file. From that you have a Working Data File which is where you are defining and tidying up, referencing material. this leads to THE finished file. Every scientist, working researcher does this (and any with brains keep paper files because ifg the computer blows...).  But here, Vallee, this genius, had a report. Nothing else. No copies.  I first read about this in the early 1970s when Vallee's first two books (Challenge To Science and Anatomy of a Phenomenon) were must reading for Ufologists since, after all, he was French and a scientist! I even discussed the story with Franklyn Davin-Wilson who thought there had to be more to the story as he, too, wondered about "standard back up files".

We then had Vallee's various 'analyses' of UFO landings and Franklyn pointed out date discreprancies  three times for just one case. Hey, any researcher can miss one thing until it us pointed out and corrected. Vallee never correctsa the record.  Vallee is above the menial tasks.  When I was going through UFO books and publications looking to catalogue UFO sightings I found that, outright, Desmond Leslie and George Adamski (pardon the language) book The Flying Saucers Have Landed was so full of faked and badly reported incidents (reports of meteors became "disc shaped object" and so on). Then I found that the Vallee books were not trustworthy. Believe me I spent a couple weeks trying to double check everything because I had this stupid belief that Vallee as a scientist had -must have- researched everything. I really was jhust sitting there in disbelief and still thinking either I had misinterpreted (!) or others had reported inaccurately. In the end I realised that Vallee was a poor researcher.

Well known hoaxes have been included in his data base as well as in his books. Vallee was in a position as a "scientist" to simply check official archives or have someone check for him. Did he even lift a finger to check his data? No. Vallee does not have to do the menial. We have, thanks to his sham research still got reports of a UFO crash/occupant case in France in 1790 that never happened as well as the Quimper-Corentin UFO/occupant account -again fictitious (you can read Some Things Strange and Sinister or look for the accounts on this blog).

Others use Vallee's data for their own -Ted Phillips' Physical Trace Data Base (anyone seen it?)  that you can find online is very basic and full of known hoaxes, misidentifcations and includes Vallee data. As Franklyn onc e told me: "Bad Data In = Bad Data  Out".  

In fact, Vallee has the habit of citing the same cases and also telling us of a report (a story in fact since it has nothing that would make it a "report") "from a person I know" and we have to take his word for it that this actually happened -no real date or time and in some cases no accurate date. That is not the work of a scientific researcher but someone putting a book together to make money.

I know whgat readers are thinking: "Well why has no one else pointed this out?" They have. The problem is that Ufology, particularly in the United States where Hynek introduced Vallee, there is this attitude of bending the knee in reverance when the name "Jacques Vallee" is uttered. When someone writes online or states in a You Tube video: "He's a scientist and a cool Frenchy guy looking into UFOs!" it ought to  result in a hand out of vomit bags.

Here is another point...in fact it is a major point: 18th February, 2022, Vallee told Wired that "after six globe-trotting decades" he still doesn't know what UFOs are:

 https://www.wired.com/story/jacques-vallee-still-doesnt-know-what-ufos-are/   

What the actual **** has he been doing for sixty years?? If -if he partook of such a menial task- Vallee would have been abvle to easily categorise reports into a natural (unknown phenomenon -UNP) and what appear to be constructed craft (UFOBs).  He would have also had the thgird category of Insufficent Reports (over 50% of reports). This man, this genius, this pioneer after 60 years has not found that out?   What's he been doing -opening a camembert ranch full of paranormal activity??

For over four decades in fact, Vallee has been selling books, lecture tickets, getting air time on radio, podcasts and TV telling everyone that (apologies for the phrase) "flying saucers" are not real. Not physical. It's all multi-dimensionbal and intermixed with the same (made up) phenomenon that brought humanity fairy folk of all types. He thinks the idea that UFOs might be extra terrestrial "boring" and looks to the multi-dimensional theory.

Again, I ask wtf sort of scientist is Vallee?? The multiverse is a fantasy theory. There is no hard or even anecdotal evidence of any such thing. It is good for sci fi TV, movies and comic books but not when it comes to real science. And what sort of scientific mind thinks that actually finding evidence of extra terrestrial life visiting our planet is soboring thatb they have to sit back, sip their cammomile tea nad yawn.

Also, if it is all non-physical, not real then wtf is this piece of metal Vallee is selling people on having come from a flying saucer? Oh, not many people have seen this item and the fragment Vallee takes on tour is "a replica".

I corrected some of Vallee's work and sent it to Flying Saucer Review the journal of Ufology so that accurate data was out there. Charles Bowen felt that "readers might not accept that Dr Vallee was wrong" and Gordon Creighton.. well, Vallee's work basically backed up his own personal theories and when I spoke to him by phone he emphasised "Dr Vallee" and "Mr Hooper".  I tried similar with the MUFON Journal in the 1990s but word was passed along to a MUFON associate who was a friend that "We will leave Dr Vallee's research to speak for itself" (yeah, Vallee puts bums on lecture room seats).

There are others who have tried to point out faults in the data offered, it's what they call peer review in science -it does not exist in Ufology and never has- but all such 'attacks' on Vallee's credibility were stifled. We are talking polite, referenced articles here and not debunking attacks. Ufology is about money making, socialising and entertainment. All the "portals" opening and locations actually started wiuth the fictional   real life paranormal TV shows and then it got picked up by the Bigfoot fringers and now it has settled as a Ufology thing.

As I have stated before, Vallee's book Messengers of Deception could be easily retitled Vallee: Messenger of Deception.

Do not get me wrong on this; in the past I emailed and even wrote to Vallee to (politely) point out various problems in his data. I somewhat foolishly thought that as a scientist he might well respond. Not once. I ain't gonna earn him a dollar.

Now, if he ever wanted to respond to any of my criticisms then I would publish them, unedited and without comment to correct the record. I am willing to be proven wrong based on the  presentation of facts. That is how research works.

Since 1947 it has been claimed that UFOs/flying saucers are evidence of aliens visiting the Earth.  Since the 1950s claims of encounters with landed craft and alien beings were talked about but not taken seriously.

In the 1960s the subject of UFO abduction was a "slow-burner" until the whole "Grey" abduction phenomenon and claims made by researchers such as Budd Hopkins, Prof. John Mack and Dr David Jacobs and Whitley Streiber.

But is there evidence to back up any of the claims -and what about those encountering Alien Entities but who were not abducted?

Are these people all hoaxers, psychotic or suffering from some other mental illness as some claim?

Are those people who were exposed by Ufologists against their wishes, people who wanted to report what happened and then just get back to their everyday lives -thrust into the media glare against their will?

And if US authorities were so interested that in one case at least they broke into the home of two abductees and this was later proven -why?

Why did a hard core of these people never want publicity or to make money from what happened to them?

Above all, why did a major UFO landing incident take place on a US Inbterstate road in front of a large number of observers (all willing to talk to investigators) never get investigated? If it were not for a radio presenter interviewing and taking notes we would know nothing of the case -it would be labelled "insubstantial".

James and Coral Lorensen -the Scopolamine Kids; using a very notorious "truth drug" on alleged UFO witnesses and selling stories to newspapers.  An investigator (a veteran) showing a witness images of "aliens" encountered in other cases before any memories were retrieved.  Worst of all, the constant "pissing competition" and breaches of trust between UFO investigators.

2017 is the time to assess the past evidence and look at the faults within Ufology.

Not everyone is going to be happy -debunkers or ufologists.

The Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) says that we may have to wait many thousands of years before any signals sent gets a response if they are detected.

The real SETI may already have established the there is alien life –and it has been visiting Earth for at least 70 years.

Once the mass of reports of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and entity encounters are sifted there remains a strong core of cases that defy logical explanation and suggest that these encounters have resulted in physiological effects and post traumatic stress.

Terry Hooper-Scharf of the CE3K/AE Project has led research into these reports for over 40 years and in this work takes a look at rare or obscure reports as well as cataloguing encounters from Germany and Portugal and focuses in on correlations in the reports and how the Dandenong (Kelly Cahill) encounter could be the best case ever reported.

Have the serious investigators and researchers looking into UFOs been unearthing better evidence of extra terrestrial life and contact with humans than established SETI ?

1973 –Year of the “Global UFO Wave” 

1973 –The “Year of the Humanoids” 

1973 –The year of the Pascagoula alien abduction claim 

1973 –Several witnesses observed two Unidentified Flying Objects: one temporarily landed on a US Interstate road while the other hovered close-by. An entity appeared from the landed object. A car driver approaching from the opposite direction stops, turns his/her car and races off. This is classed as a Major Incident in Ufology. 

1973 –a driver observes a landed UFO and entities and opens fire with his gun when he felt threatened. A High Strangeness account. 

Neither of these cases was investigated despite requests for local investigators to do so. Even in 2020 the idea of opening up either as a cold case was flatly Rejected by America’s ‘top UFO investigation’ group. 

Reports now probably lost to history. 

1973 –a year in which UFO reports from African-Americans were frowned upon and ignored. Nothing has changed.

Well, So It Was The Chinese All Along?

Well, I was right again.

I'm sure Elizondo will say "I never said they wuz aliens!"

Most UFOs are 'Chinese surveillance' drones and 'airborne clutter,' Pentagon officials reveal

By Brandon Specktor

 published 4 days ago

The U.S. government has officially started to explain some of the most infamous UFO encounters of the last decade, with China and weather balloons as top offenders.

Intelligence agencies in the U.S. have spent the last few years analyzing footage of hundreds of recent UFO encounters, and they want the American people to know: It's still not aliens.

According to several U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) officials who spoke anonymously to The New York Times last week, many recent sightings of UFOs — or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), as the government prefers to call them — are likely just observations of foreign surveillance operations or airborne clutter, such as weather balloons.

Several UAP incidents have been officially identified as "relatively ordinary" Chinese surveillance drones, the anonymous officials said. China has previously stolen plans for advanced U.S. fighter planes, and is interested in how the U.S. trains its pilots, the DoD officials added.

Other UAP sightings recorded by military aircraft, which appear to show airborne objects moving in seemingly physics-defying ways, are likely the results of optical illusions. This includes the infamous video known as "GOFAST," which was recorded by a U.S. Navy aircraft and leaked to the media in 2018. (The video, along with two other leaked films of military encounters with UAPs, was eventually declassified by the government.)

While the object in the GOFAST video appears to be zooming over the water at incomprehensible speeds, this is just an optical illusion created by the angle of the recording relative to the water, the DoD officials told The Times. In reality, the object is moving at no more than 30 mph (48 km/h), the officials added.

A classified UAP report delivered to Congress this week by the DoD's intelligence agencies likely includes the findings reported by The Times. The new report adds new details to cases described in a document that officials publicly released in June 2021, describing 144 alleged UAP incidents reported by U.S. government personnel between 2004 and 2021.

The 2021 report acknowledged that, due to a lack of high-quality data, most alleged UAP encounters could not be conclusively explained. However, the report offered several blanket explanations for UAP in general, including "technologies deployed by China, Russia, another nation, or a non-governmental entity," as well as "airborne clutter" such as birds and weather balloons. 

Nowhere in the report were aliens or extraterrestrials mentioned — however, that did not stop alien conspiracy theories from arising, due in part to the government's general lack of transparency about UAP incidents.

Sue Gough, a DoD spokesperson, told The Times that the government was committed to sharing whatever UAP information it could without putting national security at risk. Government officials also tend to refrain from discussing UAP incidents publicly because there is simply not enough data to conclusively explain them, Gough added.

"In many cases, observed phenomena are classified as 'unidentified' simply because sensors were not able to collect enough information to make a positive attribution," Gough told The Times. "We are working to mitigate these shortfalls for the future and to ensure we have sufficient data for our analysis."

As the DoD continues its investigation into UAP sightings, NASA has also launched an independent UAP study team, which will operate from October 2022 to mid-2023. According to NASA, the team will focus on collecting and analyzing as much UAP data as possible, in order to develop new methods for identifying the unidentifiable objects in America's skies.
