Are UFOs ridiculous? Today (October 14th, 2000, as I am writing this) while I was posting the reader feedback to this site, I read over an announcement of discussions of spacecraft propulsion being held in the near future at JPL, and I began to recall certain comments made by Carl Sagan in one of his books. According to Sagan, UFOs were obviously ridiculous and mythological because the reports of the craft always described them as violating the laws of physics. As well, most of those reporting such objects were untrained observers and were often found to be ‘nutty' as well. Now those of you who have read my story page will know that I am one of those ‘nutty' untrained observers, and those who have viewed the animation files posted on that page will understand how I, and others, could have easily have been fooled when seeing such things, and mistake them for a UFO. Those who have visited my Newspaper gif page will also know that among the other untrained observers of these craft were RCM Police officers and EMO officers, a good part of the population of the town of Melville, and not just myself (as I keep telling people, these events were community events and not just the lone reports of one single lone nutcase like myself). Are UFOs ridiculous? Do they violate the laws of physics? According to Sagan ‘our engine to the stars is, and will always be, the Newtonian rocket engine.' This type of engine shoots fire out the backside and, employing the Newtonian law of action with an equal and opposite reaction, the craft will then be propelled forward. Sagan noted that UFOs are reported to float in the air, and also move about without spewing out fires, and thus are obviously not employing a Newtonian rocket engine, and thus were obviously impossible, violating the laws of physics. I described objects that had a phosphorescent glow, like those glow in the dark toys (this was a distinctive kind of light, and very recognizable.) This type of material gathers and stores light energy, and then releases it slowly over a period of time. Now this type of phosphorescent material is a natural solar battery, and so we can assume then that the objects are ‘solar powered' using only some of the light energy they capture to illuminate the craft and storing the rest as electrical energy. A few years ago I watched as a magnetic disc was levitated off the ground in an experiment. Using the principle of magnetism, the disc was accelerated, lifted off the pad, and then hung motionless in the air, floating over the pad. First point. Objects floating in the air do not violate the principles of physics. This assertion by Sagan was false. Second, there are other ways to accelerate objects than by employing a Newtonian rocket engine. This assertion by Sagan was also false. The flotation of this object was achieved using ‘electro-magnetism'. There is an intimate connection between electricity and magnetic fields, and there is also a not very well understand relationship between gravity and magnetism (the graph of an object following into a gravity well and the graph of an object falling into a magnetic field are identical). The earth, the sun, and other planetary bodies are giant magnets. The idea that some type of craft could generate electrical energy and then employ the principle of magnetic attraction and repulsion to accelerate and hover a craft are not ‘ridiculous' nor are they violations of the principle of physics. The science behind them is at present simply unknown (on this planet). Objects in such a field experience ‘anti-gravity' and this idea is hardly unknown either, and as I mentioned the relationship between gravity and magnetism is not yet well understood. Now that a craft could glow in the dark, or float motionless in the air, or suddenly accelerate, none of this violates any known principles of physics. But there are those sudden accelerations, and those sudden right angle turns. Anyone who saw the movie ‘Space Balls' will recall how the space craft went to warp speed, and one of the characters flew across the room and got plastered against the far wall of the ship. Now I will report that I have seen these objects made sudden changes in direction, and I have also seen them accelerate upwards and disappear to a pin point in just a matter of seconds (compare this to the space shuttle that takes several minutes to reach space). Now having seen this myself, I know that somehow that can be done without violating the laws of physics, but it was one thing that I saw that I could not explain. A few years ago I watched an amazing demonstration reported on CNN. A scientist placed a frog into a magnetic field, and then the frog began floating in mid-air as though it were in outer space. As I mentioned there is an not well understood relationship between gravity and magnetism (or is it becoming understood, but is top secret?) It has always been a principle of magnetism that magnets only operate on materials subject to magnetism. A frog is not subject to magnetism, and yet a frog experienced ‘anti-gravity' and floated in mid-air. This old truism about magnets has obviously now been proved false. (By the way, just to prove that this anti-gravity effect does not just work on frogs, the scientist also floated a white rat, and some other small animal that I can't remember.) And this leads me to speculate about the nature of the relationship of gravity to magnetism and its application to sudden acceleration and changes of directions I have observed these UFOs making. If it is possible to isolate (a frog for example) from the effects of gravity then it should be possible to isolate that same frog from the effects of g-forces. Since it seems obvious that UFOs use both electrical energy and electro-magnetism to achieve flight and acceleration (defying gravity in the process) it should also be possible to use the same magnetic effects to isolate that frog from the effects of the g-forces involved in sudden acceleration. It then remains to prove the case by sending a frog out into space at great speeds, making a few of those sudden right angle turns in the process, and then bring that frog back safely to the earth. We will then know all the basic principles needed to mimic the flight performance of these space craft I have been describing. Based on that amazing demonstration of frog floating I saw on CNN we are actually much closer than we might think. So are UFOs ridiculous. Certainly not. I would welcome any critiques or any additional suggestions from readers that would help me to strengthen the points I am making in this essay. I received a URL. I surfed over to the site and watched an mpeg of a floating frog, and so I post the URL he sent me here:Do reports of UFO sightings describe craft
that violate the laws of physics?
The URL to the mpeg (about 1.5 megabytes) -> Floating Frog Mpeg.
There are also links at the site to a usenet discussion of the frog floating experiement.
