UFO QUOTES III
quotations about UFOs
It is a well known fact that not only do UFOs hide in clouds, but they actually create the cloud around them.
SCOTT WAREING
"Off Their Rockets: Flying saucer-shaped cloud sparks fears UFOs are hiding high above us in the skies over Europe", The Sun, June 10, 2016
The things is, the Media keeps the topic perpetually dumbed down -- either consciously or unconsciously -- by attaching caricature photos like the one to the left. It's too easy to dismiss the theory of visitation if every time you portray 'believers' (which in fact is a misnomer) as Alex Jonesian kooks.
ERIC FROM PLANET EARTH
"Picture Prompts: U.F.O.s", New York Times, April 26, 2017
In many cases [UFOs] behaved like a hologram that had mass. In other words, if a hologram could also interact with the environment, if it could put holes in the ground and burn the vegetation, you'd have a good approximation of what the UFO is. In other words, it is not an object like that car over there is an object. It looks like a car, it feels like a car, but it isn't a car. It's something totally different which can look like a car if it wants to.

I have to argue about flying saucers on the beach with people, you know. And I was interested in this: they keep arguing that it is possible. And that's true. It is possible. They do not appreciate that the problem is not to demonstrate whether it's possible or not but whether it's going on or not.
RICHARD FEYNMAN
The Meaning of It All
I know for a fact the first UFOs reported in modern times, just before the crash at Roswell, were boomerang shaped and were reported as 'flying saucers' to describe the motion of their flight, like a saucer skipping over water. Yet immediately after, people saw and photographed saucer-shaped objects. Boomerang-shaped objects were rarely seen. Now people mostly report seeing large triangles instead of discs or boomerangs, because that is what they are told to expect to see.

Why were my visitors so secretive, hiding themselves behind my consciousness. I could only conclude that they were using me and did not want me to know why ... What if they were dangerous? Then I was terribly dangerous because I was playing a role in acclimatizing people to them.
WHITLEY STRIEBER
Transformation
In highly industrialized countries, the media are a powerful influence. They shape images and beliefs. Why is it, then, that so many UFOs are reportedly observed in other countries, in Africa, in China, and in Latin America, for example, and even in the Antarctic? In Russia, scientists investigated the phenomenon while that country was still governed by communists. UFOs were frequently reported, although the government-controlled media avoided the UFO hype of western countries. The answer suggested here is that the contents of the collective unconscious most recently created in the industrialized countries are readily picked up worldwide, through morphic resonance.
RODERICK H. BOES
Paranoid Awareness
Were genuine aliens to find us ... the chances were fairly good they would appear in a form beyond reckoning, shaped by the requirements of their environment. It was only for the convenience of the costume department of Star Trek that people believed in humanoid aliens.

One theory which can no longer be taken very seriously is that UFOs are interstellar spaceships.
ARTHUR C. CLARKE
New York Times, July 27, 1975
It was the darndest thing I've ever seen. It was big, it was very bright, it changed colors, and it was about the size of the moon. We watched it for ten minutes, but none of us could figure out what it was. One thing's for sure, I'll never make fun of people who say they've seen unidentified objects in the sky. If I become President, I'll make every piece of information this country has about UFO sightings available to the public and the scientists.
JIMMY CARTER
remark during 1976 Presidential campaign
You see a lot of UFOs with closed eyes and opened mind.
TOBA BETA
My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut
Maybe [aliens] have been in our lives a lot longer than we want to admit. People have always seen strange things--elves and fairies--and now we don't. Now we see them, right?

There is no doubt that there is life out there; the mathematics of it lead you to that absolute conclusion. In my mind, there is no doubt that the universe teems with life in all its form.
WILLIAM SHATNER
"Mystical LOST city that will rewrite history found under Earth by US archaeologist", Daily Star, April 19, 2017
Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us?
RONALD REAGAN
address to the United Nations General Assembly, September 21, 1987
UFO behaviour is more akin to magic than to physics as we know it ... the modern UFOnauts and the demons of past days are probably identical.
PIERRE GUERIN
Flying Saucer Review, Vol. 25
These left me in no doubt that something was trying to communicate with us, but that direct communication would be counterproductive. It seemed to be an important part of the scheme to create a sense of mystery.
COLIN WILSON
Alien Dawn
The UFO manifestations seem to be, by and large, merely minor variations of the age-old demonological phenomenon.
JOHN A. KEEL
UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse
Unidentified Flying Objects are as real as the Earth going around the Sun. The evidence comes from three major sources -- eyewitness accounts, six official scientific studies and declassified government documents. UN statistics state that since the 1940s, 150 million people all over the world have reported seeing UFOs. This includes Air Force generals, astronauts, Prime Minister of a country (Granada), former American Presidents (Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan), officials, scientists, military officers, civilians, military pilots, radar operators, police officers and journalists.
SABIR HUSSAIN
"Believe me, UFOs are for real", Deccan Chronicle, July 31, 2016
If, as some suggest, people who see UFOs are imagining them or simply seeing things, should this not be cause for some worry, since one in 10 people cannot trust their own eyes?
CHRIS A. RUTKOWSKI
The Big Book of UFOs
It may seem surprising that something so advanced as an interplanetary vehicle could crash. However, if UFOs are truly physical spacecraft from other planets, then it should also be possible that they might malfunction.
