Three UFO Arguments - or maybe not
"Sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects have been recorded throughout history. In more recent times, UFOs are often
reported by credible and experienced witnesses. Among them, we find pilots, police officers, and military personnel. Yet,
Ufology is not being treated a serious
subject and many still doubt that our planet has ever been visited by extraterrestrial intelligence. Why is that?
Are there any solid facts that clearly speak...?"

The Reality as Seen by Former High Level Government and Military Officials
Pilots to Tell Their UFO Stories for the First Time
Group to call on US Government to Re-Open its Investigation
|
The American public is not alone when it comes to sighting what the US Air Force has labeled Unidentified Flying Objects
(UFOs).
So too have former governors, high level military and government officials, highly trained airplane pilots and
aviation experts.
The phenomenon is real.
It happens worldwide.
|
|
No one is sure about its nature. Experts from seven countries will divulge what they have discovered about UFOs at
a November 12 panel discussion moderated by former Arizona Governor Fife Symington (R) at the National Press Club.
Just one year ago, pilots, mechanics and managers from United Airlines witnessed a metallic disc-shaped object hovering
over the United Airlines Terminal at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. The clearly observed object shot straight up leaving a
hole through the clouds. Despite the clear aviation safety issues involved, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
never investigated the incident and dismissed it as weather. This head-in-the-clouds refusal
to investigate stands in sharp contrast to efforts by governments of other countries to understand these incidents.
|
|
“I believe that our government should take an active role in investigating this very real phenomenon,” said Symington,
who was a witness to the famed ‘Phoenix Lights” incident seen by hundreds in Arizona while he was governor.
|
“This panel
consists of some of the most qualified people in the world with direct experience in dealing with this issue, and they
will bring
incredible, irrefutable evidence, some never presented before, that we simply cannot dismiss or ignore,” he said.
The group, using previously classified documents, will discuss many well-documented cases, including two investigated by
the US government.
The first involves a Peruvian Air Force pilot who fired many rounds at a UFO which was not affected.
|
The second was an Iranian Air Force pilot’s attempt to fire at a UFO, but whose control panel became inoperable.
“This case is a classic that meets all the necessary conditions for a legitimate study of the UFO phenomenon,”
stated the US Defense Intelligence Agency document on the Tehran incident. Both pilots will come forward to speak
about these events publicly for the first time.
