As early as 1948, in order to explore the mysteries of UFOs, the U.S. Air Force implemented a famous "Blue Book Project." This project was discontinued in 1969 and was studied for 22 years. At the beginning of 1977, all information and files related to this project were sent to the U.S. Archives. The content included 12,600 sighting reports, of which 12,000 UFO reports were explained by the authorities with known objects, such as airplanes. , balloons, clouds, meteors, birds, artificial satellites and light reflection, etc. But the other 585 UFO reports cannot be explained by general physical and atmospheric phenomena. Scientists take all kinds of UFO reports seriously, so the mystery of many UFO reports is quickly revealed.
After analysis, scientists have concluded that UFOs may be a natural phenomenon, or they may be an illusion or a hoax. For example, Project Blue Book records a famous UFO incident that occurred in 1948: "At 3:40 in the morning on July 24, 1948, a pilot and a co-pilot were flying a DC-3 aircraft. They saw an object passing above and to their right, rising rapidly and disappearing into the clouds for about 10 seconds... This flying object seemed to have a power device such as a rocket or jet, and it emitted about 15 rays from its tail. Meter-long flame. The object had no wings or other protrusions, but had two rows of bright windows. "In fact, there happened to be a meteor shower that night, so astronomers believe that this strange object was actually a shooting star in the distance.
As we all know, the human eye sometimes sees some small dots as a line, or some irregularly shaped objects as a familiar thing, even at a certain viewing angle and in a certain weather. Under certain conditions, even some reasonably well-sighted and reasonable people may see a star or an airplane as some other object. Astronomer Menzel encountered such a situation: On the night of March 3, 1955, while flying in the Arctic near the Bering Strait, he suddenly saw a bright UFO flashing red and green lights from the horizon. Shoot southwest toward the aircraft. About 100 meters away from the plane, it suddenly stopped. The diameter of the flying object is about one third of the full moon. It suddenly disappears on the horizon and then returns. At this time, Menzel suddenly realized that this was a vague image of Sirius. Sirius seemed to be looming because the mountains in the distance blocked the starlight.
Some UFO incidents still cannot be explained satisfactorily. So, is it certain that they are alien vehicles? The answer is: not sure. According to the observation results of modern astronomy, the diameter of the Milky Way is 80,000∽100,000 light-years. In such a vast space, the few civilized worlds interviewing each other is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Some scientists have calculated that if there are 1 million civilized worlds in the Milky Way, each world must launch 10,000 spacecrafts every year before one of them can come to the earth. It can be seen that we should adopt a cautious attitude towards UFO incidents and do not take rash actions when there is insufficient evidence. For example, on January 7, 1948, American pilot Mantell flew a plane to track a "flying saucer", and the plane crashed and everyone died. Later investigations revealed that the "flying saucer" was an "upper atmosphere and other altitude detection balloon" used for scientific experiments. In the rocket launch documentary filmed in the United States on December 15, 1963, UFO footage unexpectedly appeared. Later it was discovered that the UFO was the bright planet Venus. Relevant British departments investigated 1,631 UFO incidents from 1967 to 1972. The analysis showed that 203 of them were man-made celestial objects (satellite or other aircraft debris), 108 were balloons, 705 were aircraft, and 121 were Belonging to optical phenomena in the atmosphere, the 170 objects are actually some bright celestial objects. Of the remaining 279 cases, 106 cases still await further investigation and research.
In 1968, academic research on UFOs was launched by Colorado State University in the United States. The famous physicist Dr. Condon presided over and led the UFO research work. Dozens of experts and scholars participated in this academic study. Activity.
Finally, they wrote a 1,500-page academic report "The Scientific Study of UFOs," which was reviewed by the National Academy of Sciences and published in 1969. The report concluded: There is no basis to prove that UFOs are aliens, and no further research is needed. Accordingly, the U.S. Air Force terminated the "Blue Book Project" in December 1969.
Although the "Blue Book Project" is over, many people are not satisfied with the above-mentioned academic report because the report avoids some unexplained phenomena and people criticize this as an unscientific attitude. Some scientists, led by American astronomer Dr. Hynek (1910-1986), who served as a consultant for "Project Blue Book" for 20 years, founded the UFO Research Center in 1973 and published the magazine "International UFO Report". Dr. Hynek was once a flying saucer denier, but he eventually came around. In 1976, he told reporters: "Pretending ignorance of UFO materials until denying the personality of witnesses is not allowed by the conscience of scientists. Contempt and ignorance are by no means part of the scientific method."

Who discovered the UFO first? This is a question that is difficult to verify with certainty. It is generally believed to date back to the 1870s. As early as January 1878, Martin, a farmer in Texas, was working in the fields when he suddenly saw a round object flying in the sky. At that time, 150 newspapers in the United States rushed to report Martin's discovery. This was the earliest "UFO" report in the history of mankind. The English name for "UFO" is "Unidentifled Flyig Object", and its abbreviation is "UFO". Since then, UFO has often referred to a strange luminous flying object that appears in the sky or near the surface. According to a 1954 U.S. Air Force intelligence document, "UFO" refers to any object in the sky whose performance, aerodynamic characteristics and certain special details are different from any type of aircraft or aircraft currently known to people. Missiles, or objects that cannot be identified as common (such as balloons, stars, flocks of birds, etc.). Some people believe that the appearance of UFOs is a natural phenomenon on the earth; some people believe that they are spacecrafts coming from deep space. Because its appearance is irregular and fleeting, and there are many false descriptions, even high-level scientists cannot explain all UFO reports.
During World War II, some British and American air force pilots claimed that they had spotted round luminous objects many times over the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, calling them "Hu Lai Fighters." According to their accounts, these "fighters" have superb flying skills. They can sometimes fly around the pilot's plane and pass by it; sometimes they can chase the plane and leave quickly. At first, they mistakenly thought that these "Hulai fighter jets" were new weapons of German fascism, but later they discovered that they were not hostile in any way.
On June 24, 1947, U.S. Federal Police Chief Kenyon Arnold flew a plane on a rescue mission to find a crashed C-46 transport plane. At about 15 o'clock, he flew to the vicinity of Mount Lenny in Washington. Just as the plane rose to an altitude of 3,500 meters to search for traces of the crashed plane, Arnold suddenly noticed a flash of light next to the string of the aircraft! He immediately made a big turn in the air to find where the flash came from. Arnold is an experienced pilot. He followed the light source with his eyes and found nine sparkling and dazzling objects arranged in a trapezoid shape, flying from north to south in front of his plane, zigzagging through the mountains. "Each flying object moves forward in a leaping manner, like a saucer floating on the water." "Their radius is estimated to be about 15 meters." He dictated this to people afterwards. This incident caused a sensation in the United States and was widely reported by the news media.
Arnold also made measurements based on the ground background (mountains) and calculated that the flying speed of the luminous object was no less than 2,700 kilometers per hour. This was an unbelievable super speed at the time because supersonic aircraft had not yet been invented in the world.
When newspapers published the above news, reporters used the term "flying saucers".
The U.S. Air Force (AAF) was very concerned about this matter and conducted a long-term investigation. They suspected that it was a flying saucer. The secret weapon of the Soviets was at the time when the United States and the former Soviet Union were launching a Cold War. However, the aviation industry believes that the Soviet Union's technology will not be that advanced, and then suspects that it may be the Americans' own stuff. Because the U.S. Navy launched the XF5-1 project more than ten years ago to develop the most secret weapon at the time. The Navy called it "Flying Pancake" and it looked like a flying saucer. It has a pair of 16O0 horsepower engines. When "floating" in the air, its maximum speed is 680 kilometers per hour, which can be reduced to 67 kilometers per hour when landing. Later, for unknown reasons, the Navy canceled the project. Of course, ordinary people cannot understand the truth about such military secrets involving national security. Just as UFOs became a mystery of public concern, the American aerospace engineering community became increasingly interested in the shape, structure, and aerodynamic performance of flying saucers.
In 1953, the American Nokheed Aircraft Company proposed a design patent for a disc-shaped biconvex aircraft, whose appearance was similar to a flying pancake. Its patent report states that its advantages are high flight speed and vertical take-off and landing capabilities. This shape makes the structure stronger and the whole machine remains stable during vertical takeoff and landing; and the smooth contour curve makes it more aerodynamically advantageous. Did Lockheed Aircraft Company build a flying saucer? Researchers found no direct evidence. At almost the same time, the British were also engaging in such actions. The famous Evolu Company was also developing flying saucers. Later, they cooperated with the Canadian government, established a factory outside Toronto, and proposed a circular wing design. However, this design was not accepted by the Canadian side, and the cooperation eventually fell through. Later, the U.S. Air Force took a fancy to this design and formally signed a contract with the company in 1954 to propose a top-secret weapons system project code-named "606A". According to people familiar with the matter, this flying saucer-type aircraft has a diameter of 30 feet (9.1 meters) and a top speed of 1,600 miles (2,574 kilometers) per hour. Due to the instability of this aircraft, it is always the biggest drawback. The military abandoned the project in 1961.
Although "UFO" and "flying saucer" are not the same concept, the scope of UFO is wider. But since then, the word flying saucer has been often used as a synonym for UFO, and it immediately became popular all over the world. Reports of various discoveries came one after another to the police, the Air Force Ministry, news agencies and delivered to the scientists' offices. By 1968, the United States alone had collected 12,618 "flying saucer" reports.
On August 8, the "World UFO Conference" was held in Dalian. UFOs have not yet been recognized by the mainstream scientific community, and most of the approximately 200 people attending the meeting had no knowledge background in related professional fields.
It is understandable to regard the "UFO Conference" as a gathering of private UFO amateurs. It is worth noting that a group of people who claimed to have encountered aliens, had "third kind of contact", and had "special abilities" appeared at this party, casting a veil of mystery over private UFO research. . Experts refuted these classic UFO cases one by one, and pointed out that the so-called aliens and "third kind of contact" have not been scientifically proven so far, and are therefore unscientific. If folk UFO research still relies on mysterious philosophy and superstition to confuse the public, It is inevitable to fall into the trap of pseudoscience again.
Are aliens flying on his back?
Expert: The person involved may be moderately paranoid.
Huang Yanqiu is a farmer in Beigao Village, Feixiang County, Hebei Province. In 1977, Huang Yanqiu disappeared mysteriously three times in a row. He claimed that he did not take any human transportation. He was carried by two unidentified flying men and flew over a thousand kilometers to Nanjing and Shanghai overnight. The third time he disappeared, he actually crossed the border. 19 provinces and cities, covering most of China. This bizarre flying man incident is known as one of the three unsolved UFO cases in China.
How is it possible to fly more than 10,000 kilometers without using any means of transportation? As humans who cannot escape the gravity of the earth, how can we fly? Is this a true story or a lie?
49-year-old Huang Yanqiu looks several years younger than his actual age. When this Hebei farmer, who was planning to build a wedding house for his second son, walked on the streets of Dalian, he often subconsciously looked toward an uncertain distance in the sky, as if waiting for something to appear.
"Are you really sure you have seen aliens?" the reporter asked.
“Actually, I didn’t know what was going on at the time, and I didn’t know how I got to Nanjing and Shanghai.” This farmer, who is regarded as the first person in China’s classic UFO cases, recalled his 21-year-old I fell into distress during that "bizarre" experience.
On the night of July 27, 1977, Huang Yanqiu, who was returning home from work, lay down to sleep after dinner. However, he "woke up" to find that he was in Nanjing. According to Huang Yanqiu's own description, he arrived in Nanjing from 10 pm on the first night to 7 am on the next day. The difference was only 9 hours. During these 9 hours, Huang Yanqiu traveled from his hometown in Hebei Province to Nanjing. Gao Cun arrived in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province.
Handan and Nanjing are at least 1,000 kilometers apart, and it is still 45 kilometers from Huang Yanqiu’s home to Handan. In the 1970s when transportation was underdeveloped, how could Huang Yanqiu travel in 9 hours? How about traveling from rural Hebei to Nanjing, the capital city of Jiangsu? It was certainly a sensation.
What happened next was even more bizarre, "Two policemen bought another ticket and sent me to the Shanghai Deportation Station." Moreover, on July 28, 1977, the day after Huang Yanqiu disappeared, a telegram was sent to Feixiang County from Shanghai, thousands of miles away, asking the villagers to come to Shanghai to pick up the man. "
One night in early September 1977, Huang Yanqiu, who had returned to his hometown, once again "encountered a mysterious kidnapping": he went home to sleep at about ten o'clock that night, but "when I woke up, I found that I "He's in Shanghai again." This time, his fellow villagers in Shanghai sent him back to his hometown.
In September 1977, Huang Yanqiu mysteriously disappeared for the third time, and this time he was out for the longest time. He visited the most places. According to his description, he was carried by two people who could fly over 19 provinces and cities in 9 days, arriving in eight places: Lanzhou, Beijing, Tianjin, Harbin, Changchun, Shenyang, Fuzhou and Xi'an. The city has flown more than 10,000 kilometers in total, and it only takes one or two hours to reach each city. It is estimated that the average flight is at least 20 kilometers per minute, and the flight speed is close to the speed of sound.
This is the case. Typical alien abductions of earthlings, except for the oral accounts of the parties involved, there is no direct evidence to prove these three bizarre flights. However, in 1987, 10 years after the incident, some domestic UFO investigators wrote the first report. A report believed that the matter was related to aliens and UFOs.
“Actually, I didn’t know that aliens were responsible for this matter at the time. When they interviewed me in 1987, they told me that it might be possible. It was aliens who did it. "Twenty-eight years have passed since the incident, but the pain buried in Huang Yanqiu's heart has not diminished. On the contrary, it has become more and more serious.
Li Chunbo, a postdoctoral fellow at the Advanced Brain Function Laboratory of the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, believes: This is quite typical. "Sleepwalking" means that once a person falls asleep and wakes up in another place, he cannot recall the past or present. "I don't understand it either. Experts say I am sleepwalking. I don't admit it, but I don't know the past either. what happened. "Huang Yanqiu said.
In December last year, Huang Yanqiu underwent a comprehensive test at a polygraph center in Beijing. Two weeks later, the test results came out: Huang Yanqiu failed the polygraph.
p>Experts from the Mental Health Department of Beijing Anding Hospital said that it is impossible for normal people to fly, and this kind of thinking has exceeded the physiological tolerance of normal people. But Huang Yanqiu feels that it is natural, and she still believes that she is normal. There is a deviation in the logic of thinking. The doctor suspected that Huang Yanqiu was "moderately paranoid."
A forest worker on a northeastern farm was shocked by aliens?
Experts denounced it as a "lie"
At the "UFO Conference", the organizer said that it would invite another earthling who had had bizarre encounters with aliens and flying saucers to Dalian. But until the end, this person did not appear.
It is understood that the Heilongjiang forest farm employee who claimed to have been injured by a flying saucer was named Meng Zhaoguo. Now I work in the cafeteria of a university in Northeast China.
In 1994, Meng Zhaoguo, who worked at the Hongqi Forest Farm in Heilongjiang Province, claimed to have been knocked down by aliens on Phoenix Mountain and taken into a flying saucer by the aliens. This matter is listed as another important Chinese UFO unsolved case.
On June 7 of that year, Meng Zhaoguo claimed to have seen a big screaming monster on the southern slope of Phoenix Mountain. He tried to get close to it several times, but was knocked back by an invisible electric wall. The news quickly spread throughout the forest farm. On the third day, June 9, 1994, Meng Zhaoguo led the forest farm officials and workers straight to the place where the monster stayed. People prepared telescopes, cameras, and tape recorders, hoping to leave evidence of the monster. But after walking for about five kilometers, they still didn't see the place where Meng Zhaoguo found the monster.
Even with telescopes, people still found nothing. That's when the miracle happens. Meng Zhaoguo took the telescope, shouted "I saw it", and then fell to the ground and twitched all over. He looked like he had been "injured by aliens". After that, the news that "the forestry workers were injured by flying saucer aliens" quickly spread across the country and was published in newspapers.
Very similar to Huang Yanqiu’s story, Meng Zhaoguo’s “alien encounter” is also just one person’s narrative. There is no direct evidence to support it, and some of it is just people’s inferences and speculations. And imagination, naturally, this matter has become a UFO unsolved case. Investigators believe that what is certain is that since UFOs are defined as unidentified flying objects, the first thing that can be affirmed is that the stationary white object that Meng Zhaoguo “saw” on the mountain cannot be called a UFO because “there is no evidence to prove that it was previously Fly by”.
UFO researcher Zhang Qianyi thinks this story sounds like a big lie and lacks credibility. Because news about the collision of comets and wood happened to appear at that time, it was possible for such lies to have a happy ending, suspected of being a UFO. Psychologist Yang Yiyin believes that many people are very susceptible to suggestions from others and will unknowingly form their own thoughts and judgments based on their relationships with others.
Experts believe that when some people face themselves and the expectations of others, they will shape their own experiences. This is not intentionally to deceive people, but to subconsciously shape their experiences. Such a motivation to achieve Consummation. "Clinically, it is a memory disorder, the term is confabulation. This situation occurs in many mental disorders."
According to reports, the former leader of the polygraph detection team of the Ministry of Public Security organized the development of China's first polygraph test. Yang Chengxun, an expert on lying, believes that Meng Zhaoguo's story is "deliberately fabricated. There is no such thing at all. We can judge that he is lying, but there is another situation, such as a hallucination, some mental I have this memory in my mind, so it is difficult for you to judge through a polygraph test."
He believed that Meng Zhaoguo's encounter with aliens "may be a very special psychology. experience, rather than a real experience”.
Where did the flying stick come from?
Experts revealed the answer. It turned out that the optical mechanism of the camera lens was causing trouble.
In recent years, many people have claimed to have seen a mysterious "flying stick".
The earliest flying stick was photographed by Americans in 1994. This is the first time humans have recorded it. Jus, an American independent television producer, discovered something unusual flying across the sky on a video tape he had taken.
From the appearance, what Jus found was a cylindrical object flying very fast. Because the shape of this flying object is like a stick, Jus named it flying stick. Jus published his findings and attracted widespread attention. Soon, people all over the world were filming flying sticks.
Its description is: The body is as slender as a stick, ranging from hundreds of meters in size to a few centimeters in size, flying rapidly in the air. Some people even regard this as a message communicated between aliens and earthlings.
What’s interesting is that almost all “flying sticks” were taken by the parties involved with cameras or cameras. In real space, people have never seen such “flying sticks” coming and going without a trace with their naked eyes. Flying Stick".
Just in May this year, a pharmaceutical factory in Northeast China claimed to have photographed a "flying stick". Beijing UFO researcher Zhang Jingping and a reporter from CCTV went to Jilin and not only photographed the "flying stick", but also had the honor to solve the mystery of the flying stick.
Zhang Jingping told reporters: The first discovery of "flying stick" was the video surveillance equipment of this pharmaceutical factory. On the evening of May 21, the monitor of Zhenguo Pharmaceutical Factory suddenly noticed a white light flashing rapidly on the monitor. When the video data was played back, it was discovered that the monitor captured a long flying object flying rapidly over the factory, about three meters long, and flying at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour. From the appearance, it is obviously not artificial.
Soon, the meteorological department also ruled out the possibility of lightning. One night a week later, the mysterious flying object appeared over the pharmaceutical factory again, and this time it was a clear day.
At first Zhang Jingping and others thought it might be something like insects, but after shooting for many days, they still found no trace of the flying stick. Just when he was about to give up the search, the camera in Zhang Jingping's hand shook violently due to a slip of his foot. While the camera was shaking, he discovered something strange in the lens.
Zhang Jingping began to suspect that the appearance of the flying stick might be related to certain properties of the camera. Because all previous flying stick news only appeared on the camera. Zhang Jingping learned that the shutter speed of the pharmaceutical factory's camera was one-sixteenth of a second, so he adjusted the shutter speed of his camera to close to one-twelfth of a second.
When he passed by a floor lamp, a magical scene appeared. Various small flying insects that originally flew normally turned into countless large and small flying sticks. The shapes of these flying sticks were similar to those of flying sticks. The posture is exactly the same as the flying stick that people have photographed before.
The truth is revealed. It turns out that the appearance of the flying stick is just a false appearance of the camera. For example, when shooting a moving vehicle with a slow shutter speed of 1/8 second, since the car is moving, using a shutter speed of 1/8 second cannot effectively "fix" the car. The car will appear slightly blurred, but the background will be stationary. , so it is clear. This creates a contrast between movement and stillness.
The flying stick photographed by Zhang Jingping is a nocturnal moth. Due to the attraction of the infrared rays of the camera, the rapid flight of moths, and the shutter speed of one sixteenth of a second of the camera, the flying stick was finally created.
“If we adjust the camera shutter to this speed, we will find that flying sticks are everywhere.” Zhang Jingping said.
How to spot the "Third Kind of Contact" scam
About UFOs and aliens' third kind of contact, almost nothing has been confirmed by scientific experiments. People's misunderstandings and superstitions about UFO myths have been exacerbated by false rumors.
Zhu Jin, director of the Beijing Observatory, believes that life on earth is definitely not unique. The earth is just a very ordinary planet orbiting the sun, and the sun itself is a very ordinary star. There are about 200 billion stars like the sun in the Milky Way. Each star may have its own planetary system like the sun, so among all these planets, it can be said to be unimaginable if only the earth has life.
At the same time, he believes that no matter how developed the earth's capabilities are, so far humans have absolutely no ability to fly to the edge of the solar system in their lifetime. If aliens travel to the earth from other planets through the universe, From a human perspective, it is also very, very impossible.
Researcher Wang Sichao from Purple Mountain Observatory said: Many cases claiming close contact with UFOs are not credible. There are several conditions to determine whether a third-category contact has occurred: First, there must be evidence, and the elimination method cannot be used.
For example, since you claim to have been in contact with aliens, you must get the aliens’ things, and you can’t make empty claims. And the thing you get must be something that humans on earth cannot build in order to be credible. And it must be identified by experts. The person involved cannot say that it is something from outer space or aliens, and it must be made of materials that are not found on the earth. This condition is not harsh, but unfortunately, none of the current cases of UFO and alien contact meet this requirement.
Secondly, those who claim to have seen aliens and flying saucers must have witnesses from unrelated groups at the same time. For example, if several people in one place saw a flying saucer, it does not count. They must have seen it in several places at the same time. .
Finally, the DNA of aliens must be different from that of earthlings. This also requires scientific evidence to prove that they are real aliens.
He believes that based on the current level of science and technology, the possibility of extraterrestrial civilization cannot be ruled out, but all this must be confirmed by rigorous scientific experiments.

UFO, what we usually call UFO, is the abbreviation of English U-nidentified Flying Object. The first large-scale report on UFO in the world was in 1878 In 2001, American farmer Martin saw a round object in the sky. In June 1947, American Arnold saw nine white saucer-shaped mysterious objects flying in the sky while flying a plane. He called them flying saucers. After they were widely reported by the news media, people became accustomed to using the term flying saucer. UFOs are called UFOs with vivid names, and there have been such sighting reports in our country in recent years.

UFOs refer to unknown origins and unknown spaces , objects of unknown structure and unknown nature, but floating and flying in the air. In English, it is "unidentified flying object", abbreviated as "UFO", and in Chinese, it is collectively called: "UFO" (also known as UFO in Hong Kong, and transliterated as UFO in Taiwan, and some people call it flying saucer).
Before the term UFO appeared, there was only the term flying saucer in English to refer to such objects. Flying saucers often cause misunderstandings.
Some people believe that many UFOs are actually alien aircraft. Hollywood has made many science fiction movies on this theme, but so far no conclusive evidence has been found.
Beginning in the 1940s, saucer-shaped flying objects were discovered over the United States, which were called "flying saucers" at the time. At first I thought it was a new Soviet reconnaissance weapon. This was the beginning of contemporary interest in UFOs, and people later began to pay attention to UFO reports from around the world.
Many UFO photos have been identified as hoaxes by experts, and some are believed to be ball lightning, but there are always some discoveries that cannot be explained based on existing scientific knowledge.
