Some real science:   August was   earth’s hottest on record . June and July also broke records.  More so,  summer of 2023 was Planet Earth's hottest by a large amount . This is science Wednesday, and flying saucers are considered to be so far from reality to NASA SETI researchers, that this posting today might reduce my credibility with them.  But, after all,  NASA did finally create a position for UFO Czar , so maybe this would be a good time to assess where we are with unidentified flying objects ( UFOs ), now re-termed UAP for unidentified anomalous ( or aerial ) phenomenon. Some history about  czars : Czar Nicholas II abdicated in 1917 and that was the final one, although they later had Stalin, and now Putin, so the authoritarian nature of their leadership has not changed at all. President Woodrow Wilson selected Bernard Baruch to head the War Industries Board during World War I, only a year after Nicholas went.  Thus, Baruch was the War Czar. Wikipedia  actually has a list of

Today, I'll re-look at a subject largely discredited in higher academic circles:  flying saucers.  The more common term is UFO, or unidentified flying object, coined by the Air Force in 1952.  However, a new one has just surfaced, unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP, generally linked to the Navy-led UAP Task Force established by the Pentagon in 2020.  Adam Goldsack already in 2021   wrote a book   with this term.   Read this article   to catch up on all the recent hoo ha delving into early sightings and what Congress is doing today. Although I don't believe in the type of flying saucers the media now and then tosses out at you, I've nevertheless looked into this subject, and here are some of my past postings: ALIENS and FLYING SAUCERS  (2018)....there were many more earlier articles. WHY THIS SUDDEN UPSURGE OF INTEREST IN UFOs?  (2021).  This was Part 1, and there were three parts. Part 2 Part 3 ON THE MATTER OF KNOWN AND UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS  (2023) But first,

An Unidentified Flying Object ( UFO ) is exactly that, an object not yet identified.  The object can range from something we'll never identify to weather balloons to alien flying saucers to whatever.  I had a three part series in August of 2021.  Feel free to glance at them, beginning with   the first one .  Then   Part 2   dealt with that confusing "official" government report that maybe went too far in giving credence to the subject, ending with   Part 3   on best films and documentaries. To begin,  two-thirds of Americans believe in extraterrestrial intelligence life . Of interest here is that around half of our population senses that some of those UFOs, like flying saucers, are linked to some intelligent life in our universe.  Here is a breakdown of who believes. I searched for a while and could not find any poll of scientists.  I do know that when I worked on NASA's search for extraterrestrial intelligence program at the Ames Research Center, zero percent believe
