Truth is out there: UFOs just plasma
May 08, 2006
LONDON: Britain's defence intelligence chiefs have come up with a detailed scientific explanation to solve the mystery of unidentified flying objects.
After a four-year inquiry, they have concluded that most UFO sightings can be explained by a little-understood atmospheric phenomenon.
Defence Intelligence Staff scientists describe how glowing "plasmas" of gas are created by charges of electricity. Airflows then sculpt the plasmas into aerodynamic shapes which appear to fly at extraordinary speeds through the sky.
Their report is emphatic that UFOs do not come from alien civilisations or hostile powers, but equally it does not dismiss those who claim to have seen them as fantasists or hoaxers.
Instead, the scientists say such plasmas can play tricks on the mind, creating vivid impressions.
They note that "local (electromagnetic) fields ... have been medically proven to cause responses in the temporal lobes of the brain".
As a result, UFO witnesses may suffer from "extended memory retention and repeat experiences" induced by the plasmas.
Their report says that, though UFOs have "defied credible description" as to their cause, they are confident they now have "a reasonably justified explanation".
It goes on to recommend that the findings on UFOs - of which more than 100 are sighted in most years - could be developed for "novel military applications", adding that Russia is already investigating such weapons.
The report has been released under the Freedom of Information Act following an application by David Clarke, a lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University, and Gary Anthony, a fellow researcher.
The pair will give a presentation on the results this week.
Very interesting story, seems like a plasma anyway since my last sightings. Damn stupid Scientists lied!
And so others thing too including weather and politics... etc
