![]() Under Project Blue Book (1947 to 1969), the Air Force investigated UFO's then in 1977, NASA was asked to examine the possibility of resuming UFO investigations. Air Force (USAF) and NASA have had intermittent, independent investigations of the possibility of alien life on other planets however, none of these has produced factual evidence that life exists on other planets, nor that UFO's are related to aliens. No branch of the United States Government is currently involved with or responsible for investigations into the possibility of alien life on other planets or for investigating Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO's). It would be a waste of our limited time to go chasing down mere hearsay. There are plenty of possibilities for credible approaches emerging from our own scientific literature. To do real work, to really determine how to build the next generations of vehicles, we need our own information. Yes, the wings are a clue, but just that, a clue. Even if UFOs were completely real, which is doubtful, and even if I had a film of one in front of me, it wouldn't be of much help.įor example, if someone in the previous century saw a film of a 747 flying past, it would not tell them how to build a jet engine, what fuel to use, or what materials to make it out of. Science fiction can be useful to give you some mental picture to get you started thinking about the real issues, but it is no more useful than that. Even if the stories are correct, they are only as useful as science fiction. First there is this signal to noise ratio problem. Its been suggested that we might have something to learn by studying UFO stories. It doesn't matter if it has or has not been done by someone else. If we humans are going to figure out how to build space vehicles, then WE have to build our own space vehicles. That whole subject is really irrelevant to our own human quest to travel to space. On the subject of UFOs the signal to noise ratio is so abysmal, that it does no good to listen. There is an expression that engineers use: "signal to noise ratio." It refers to the difficulty of getting the real signal, say a voice over the telephone, to stand out and be heard above all the noise and clutter that is also on the line.
