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

I'll start today with a concern about how the USA has been invaded by the Delta variant, comparing how many new cases occurred yesterday :                                                New Cases/Million Population #1  U.S.  143,537                 431 #2  India  40,078                 28 #3  Iran  39,049                 648 #4  Brazil  35,891               168 #5  UK  32,961                   483 #6  France  28,554            437 Florida  24,869                  1157 Texas  24,869                     489 #7  Indonesia 24,709          89 Louisiana  5,387                1149 Hawaii  549                        392 Florida and  Louisiana  are particularly suffering.  Both are low in vaccination rate, while  Florida  is especially battered because of a batty governor.  One positive about the Delta variant is that it is scaring the un-vaxed to get vaxed. The mortality rate average for the World is just around 2%, so to predict the new deaths in ten days to two weeks, multiply the new ca
