In Plain Sight: An investigation into UFOs and impossible science

Product Information

The excursion into the UFO rabbit hole at the beginning is an excellent starting point for the review. But I wanted to wrap my head around this topic and I wanted answers, and I wanted it very much, and in the course of that I began to believe that maybe some of these cases may be the real thing. These events also all happened just before a sighting event in New Mexico, USA, that, for many, is the origin myth of the great modern extra-terrestrial conspiracy theory – Roswell. Theories they might be Soviet rocket tests were dismissed because the objects had no exhaust, were completely silent, and were seen flying horizontally and often super slowly in formation.

Bizarre, sometimes mind-blowing and utterly fascinating, in this new edition of In Plain Sight , Coulthart explains why there is cause for optimism that 'the biggest story ever' might finally be about to break. Meanwhile, a young soldier's survival instincts set off a corrupt plan with far-reaching consequences.An award-winning journalist investigates a story largely ignored by mainstream media but right there, in front of our eyes . The United States needed to detect and identify all craft in its airspace; it was a major issue of national security. Probably the best book to read _right now_ about UFO stuff, as it covers old cases for a while and then jumps into more recent developments (the US Navy videos, Admiral Wilson docs, and the Salvatore Pais patents). Quick, let’s go back to reality, with some hardcore science by a temporary Einstein, who doesn’t believe in UAP: Sabine Hossenfelder https://youtu. He covers the recent history over the last few years, including tom Delong's role in forming to the Stars and the key players involved with this.

I prefer the less loaded term ‘UAPs’ because ‘UFO’ is so often taken to mean flying saucers and little green men. She clearly remembers the two military policemen first came to the family home, so she directed them to Annie’s workplace, where her colleagues watched her being escorted away. He gets people to talk, he interviews some interesting people and he lays out why the 'official' explanation of many famous UAP sightings are nonsense.Since the 1930s, the empty high plains of southeastern New Mexico have been a test area for the United States’ space and aerospace technology. I once reported a story in the Gulf of Carpentaria in Far North Queensland, interviewing a venerable Aboriginal elder known as Blue Bob, who knew the landscape like the back of his hand. In the first part of this book, the author goes through a large number of reported UAP (Unexplained Aerial Phenomena, the term he prefers to UFO) sightings; these come so thick and fast that it seems he wants to convince the sceptical by the sheer frequency of the sightings. But sceptics often say witnesses to UAPs should always be ignored because witness evidence is notoriously unreliable. He also offers an "estimated" speed of 104,895 mph for a UAP, believing, as many non-scientists do, that you can convince by the accuracy of your numbers, without realising that this undermines the whole concept of an "estimate".

His motivation for survival is the very thing that ends up betraying him, setting into motion a wicked plan that will change the world forever. They were not aircraft belonging to us and, as far as I could find out, they were not aircraft belonging to any other powers,’ Jones later acknowledged. The strongest cases are those with multiple witnesses, radar evidence, and records in old official documents that can be unearthed.

One reason for my scepticism was because two months earlier, in October 1978, across the Tasman Ocean in Australia, a 20-year-old Melbourne-based pilot Frederick Valentich had disappeared while piloting a tiny Cessna aircraft over Bass Strait on a flight to King Island. Now imagine about 60 alien civilizations, from complete different distances away, doing the same trick. Some time back, that is what I started doing with the phenomenon of UAPs because, frankly, they are the biggest unsolved mystery of our age. Under political pressure to allay public concern, and with the intense scrutiny of the world’s media, the Royal New Zealand Air Force delivered a report into the incident one month after the Kaikoura sighting and announced it had solved the puzzle, asserting that everyone on board the plane was simply confused by ‘natural but unusual atmospheric phenomena’. Almost every one of the sightings reported in this book happened near a US military base or US military exercises which might be due to the author's sampling techniques, though I suspect he would prefer to think that aliens have chosen to monitor the US military.

So, in cases like Roswell, he concedes that there is just not enough evidence to say anything conclusive. In mainstream journalism, the dominant view has always been and generally continues to be that such notions of dark conspiracies are batshit crazy, and heaven help you if you transgress from that position. The distinct impression I get is that this Australian author is trying to incite American readers to push their government to come clean about UFOs. however, coulthart is careful to never actually claim anything is true other than what he can independently verify. Two days later, two American military policemen walked into Annie’s workplace in town and asked her to come with them.
