Stanton T. Friedman is a nuclear physicist, a lecturer and a UFO researcher. He published more than 90 papers about flying saucers and “has appeared on hundreds of radio and TV programs including on Larry King in 2007 and twice in 2008, and many documentaries” (Blinn). Friedman also wrote a book, “Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience”, with Kathleen Marden (Betty Hill’s niece), in which they support the idea that we can rely on Betty Hill’s statements about her abduction. First, a few days after the sighting, Betty called her sister Janet who had seen an unconventional craft a few years earlier. Janet, after she consulted a physicist, told her sister to take a compass and place it near the car’s surface. Betty wrote her observations …show more content…
To be sure she was doing the experiment correctly, Betty asked Barney and his friend to do exactly as she did and they both obtained the same result. Frightened, Betty was starting to think her car was radioactive because of the touch of extraterrestrials. A few weeks later, Barney and his wife decided to go to a short journey to the White Mountains to let go of the stress they were feeling. When they came back, the couple were welcomed with “a pile of dried brown leaves in the center of their table” (Friedman 58). While cleaning up, they were surprise to found Betty’s blue earrings, the ones she wore the night of the abduction. She never realized she had lost them in the first place, it scared her to know that her abductors knew where she lived. However, the most surprising thing that happened after the encountered with the UFO is when Betty draw a star map. She told the investigators she saw this map
Recently, many people believed to have witnessed via a viral video, U.F.O. unidentified flying object sighting directly above the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, Israel, yet solid research quickly disproved this occurrence as another contemporary hoax. Sightings such as this one date back to June 24th, 1947, when Kenneth Arnold reportedly saw a “flying saucer” (Dash). There are many people around the world, who believe wholeheartedly in unidentified flying objects. Moreover, when Mr. Arnold made his claim of seeing a U.F.O., there were many futile arguments between believers and non-believers. Nowadays however, thanks to modern technology, people can record the alleged sighting by means such as video and still pictures.
...ary knew about the crash and that they were going to transport the wreckage to another military base. Many eyewitness accounts with similar details eliminate the possibility of merely a single person making up the entire event. The government’s contradictory reports demonstrate that their knowledge of the incident is dynamic and dependent on how they want the people to react. This matter is important because it raises the possibility that if the government is hiding information from the public about a spacecraft accident, there may be other incidents where the government is concealing the truth from the public. Despite the government’s best attempts to cover up the Roswell incident, eyewitness accounts from the common person validate the idea that an unidentified flying object crashed in Roswell, New Mexico and eternally changed the lives of several people.
Adolescence is a monster that lurks in the dreams of parents. It’s a strange new world to children and they never see coming. It’s the time of life when a world that never changes is thrown upside down. Yet, it affects more than the adolescent. It can impact families as a whole, such as the owl family shown in Larry Shles’ book, Aliens in My Nest. Squib the little owl, comes home to find his loving brother Andrew gone. Instead, it appears he has changed into a strange new creature with bumps on his beak, and clumpy feathers. His temper is short and he doesn’t appear to love his parents or brother. In response, their parents are at the ends of their ropes, and they even take Andrew to be diagnosed with owlescence, a play on adolescence. The
This paper will prove it will remain unknown if the Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) crash sighting at Roswell, New Mexico on July 4th, 1947 did happen, although the government is hiding Extraterrestrial information there. The following is a list of terms that may become confusing to some readers.
Sometimes we all feel as if no one person could or would ever truly love us as we deserve. This is the case in the Moon for the Misbegotten. A young, not so attractive, wants to be loved but fears that if she did love, her life would not be as it is now. She fears change and not because she wants the life she is leading but because it means she would have to free herself from who she pretends to be.
The UFO crash site in Roswell New Mexico in 1947 was the start of people’s interest in extraterrestrials, the discovery of military secrets and experiments kept from society, and the start, in search of answering are we alone in this universe.
Around June 25th, 1947 a pilot, Ken Arnold had reported strange objects in the sky while flying near Mt. Rainer, Washington. He stated that they flew like "saucers being skipped over water." This was where the term "Flying Saucers" derived from. The Roswell UFO Incident all started on the evening of July 3, 1947, Dan Wilmot and his wife were sitting on their front porch when they saw the distinct shape of a saucer flying through the sky. A few days prior to this sighting, military radar in the area was tracking an Unidentified Flying Object for four days. On Independence Day the radar indicated that the object had gone down about 30-40 miles Northwest of Roswell. A few days after the actual sighting from the Wilmot's, W.W. Brazel, the Foreman of the J.B. Foster Ranch went to check on his sheep after some intense thunderstorms the night prior. He happened to discover a very large amount of debris of an unknown metallic substance scattered throughout the field. It was also stated that he stumbled across a shallow trench in the ground that stretched hundreds of feet. Brazel would gather some of this debris to show family and friends. A few days after he would contact sheriff Wilcox of Chaves County. Once Wilcox had the information he needed, he contacted the Roswell Army Air Force Base, where Major Jessie Marcel was briefed to look int...
The first American woman in space, Sally Ride, paved the way for many women with aspirations in the field of science. She made great strides in the women’s movement. The women’s movement was a way for women to obtain equal rights. There were three aspects behind the women’s movement: suffrage, the glass ceiling, and feminism. Suffrage is obtaining the right that everyone in America should be granted, the right to vote. The glass ceiling is the idea of women getting equal rights at work. All women should get the position and pay that they deserve, not a position and pay based on their gender. Feminism is the way to legally protect women from men abusing them. Sally Ride created huge strides in proving what women could do. She is an inspiration for young girls to achieve their goals no matter what it takes.
Have you ever heard about the Roswell, New Mexico, UFO incident? Well if not in 1947 a UFO crashed in New Mexico. The Air Force said it was a weather balloon that crashed and it wasn’t a UFO but people that think of this crash think otherwise.
Do you believe in the moon landing conspiracy? There are various theories that skeptics compose to attempt to accuse NASA of faking the Apollo moon landings, although all these simple explanations will prove these theories wrong. The moon landing conspiracy was “claimed” to be a hoax since it was the only time the U.S. has ever landed on the moon was under Nixon’s administration, and the reason for this is after we finally made it to the moon the interest for the USSR else to make it there died out just like the flow of money that had been invested into the missions; skeptics attempt to say that it was faked since even with the technological advances we haven’t been back to the moon, but this is easily proven wrong by simply stating that the
It is summer in the year 1937. America is amidst the Great Depression; millions of people have lost their jobs and were suffering from economic hardships. Suddenly news outlet all over the nation spreads that Amelia Earhart, a woman whose accomplishments as an aviator brought hope to countless people across the nation, has gone missing during her solo transatlantic flight. Her disappearance was a mystery to the world, all the American citizens had to go off were her final communications over the radio on her plane yielding very few answers. People wanted answers, so the U.S. government sent search parties looking for the missing aviator to no avail. Unable to get answers from the government people across the nation began dabbling in conspiracy theories in order to find their own answers for Earhart’s
. At the town of Roswell an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) crash landed in the quiet little town. Many Roswell residents testified that they saw a burning object plummet toward the ground before exploding upon impact. The Air Force's initial reaction to the incident was to tell the world that they did not know what it was. This shows me evidence that they had no “protocol” for this kind of occurrence, thus the Military leader stepped in and covered everything up. This incident caught the attention of citizens of the United States, local officials, and the media. It has especially gained interest in a variety of Special interest groups/ groups that specialize in researching and investigating events that involve UFO’s.
There are many conspiracies that people say have happened at the Roswell crash in the summer of 1947 in Roswell New Mexico. Nobody knows what really happened at the crash in Roswell New Mexico but, many people say that the thing that had crashed there was a UFO and or a flying saucer which mean there being aliens. Even after 50 years the people still do not know what happened and for everybody that doesn’t know were going to go deeper into what really happened. This incident had caused a lot of chaos with the Air force and the people.
Whether or not the Roswell incident truly involved a UFO remains unclear. How ever, the military cover-up only served to fuel the fire of our imaginations. Interest continues to grow, as questions remain unanswered. Even Bill Clinton has been quoted as saying “…If the United States Air Force did recover alien bodies, they didn’t tell me about it either, and I want to know”(qtd. in Wright 105).
A UFO is an unidentified flying object. Many people believe them to be small saucer
