UFO sightings in Tennessee

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Bright white lights and strange, triangular shaped objects, Tennesseans are reporting some unusual things overhead. For decades many people have reported seeing UFO's. A recent poll shows one in 12 Americans have seen a mysterious object in the sky, and that a third of adults believe it's likely aliens have visited earth. While some say the increase in volume of reports in Tennessee are enough to make any investigator sit up and take notice, others say it's all in their heads.

Here is a clip from 'My Fox' Memphis which is interesting, especially the pilot sighting. Although I agree with the skeptic that a 'light in the sky' is usually just a light in the sky, I cannot disagree more with the skeptic on his statement that pilots and people are poor observers - Pilots and people are good at describing what they see and if anything, they are great witnesses. There is a problem when people interpret what they see without due caution and without an open mind. If we have a pilot that says he saw an object that he cannot explain, has taken a moment to attempt an explanation, and still cannot interpret what he saw, then it need proper investigation. To brush it off saying 'it's nothing but a light' is a poor solution. As the MUFON investigator so rightly explains - were not claiming it's necessarily extra-terrestrial - but what is it??? It's within the real of possibility that there is an unknown species that resides on earth which has the ability to make these craft - or beings from another dimension, time travelers or perhaps even a 'time-warp' where we are seeing a future event at an earlier time. We cannot take 'extraterrestrial' away as an option either - it is a possibility when there is no rational explanation. What is required is an explanation of these events that are clearly happening, and for that matter, have been happening throughout history. Here is the clip - please take a moment to look at the second clip which analyzes some of the issues I have discussed

The Anatomy of a MUFON investigation

Tag along as MUFON investigates the intriguing case of The Fayetteville Incident. This show was aired on Discovery during 2008 as part of their UFOs Over Earth series. In this show how the MUFON investigators check out what some may believe is a 'tall tale' from a gentleman in Fayetteville. It turns out that it isn't such a tall tale, and there is some interesting evidence. At the end of the investigation, it doesn't turn out quite like you may expect. This documentary shows how difficult it can be to investigate and prove beyond doubt UFO sightings and close encounters. One gets a close up view of the professional work done by MUFON.

By the way - I personally do believe his story, but being a scientist - I have to express some doubt. There is no rock solid evidence, but it doesn't mean it didn't happen. There are parts of the story that have similarities to other sightings, but there is no genuine corroborating evidence. How frustrating this must have been to the folks at MUFON. So close but so far - this case shows the problems in investigating these stories. It does seem that if there are entities and UFO craft, they make sure hide and leave minimal evidence. That is certainly part of the mystery.

McDonnell Douglas studied UFO's in the 1960's

According to Dr. Robert Wood, Retired Deputy Director of McDonnell Douglas, his company studied UFOs in the 1960s. This was part of an effort to understand future forms of space travel, before Lockheed! After suggesting they look into UFO's, he was appointed to head up a team to study the issue and come back with recommendations. After reading many books he came to the conclusion that UFO's were real, came from space and deserved study. As a result they undertook a study of the phenomenon to the point of interviewing abductees and contactees. Take a look at this very interesting interview.
