- INTRODUCTION
-
- Since prehistory, man has been observing unusal happenings
- in the sky. Those occurences have been given various names
- to suit the trends of the times. However, in almost every
- instance, the identifying nomenclatures used were either
- inaccurate or misleading for the various forms of reported
- experiences.
-
- Historically, we have used a variety of names such as angels,
- flying shields, mystery airships, phantom planes, ghost
- rockets, flying saucers and unidentified flying objects to
- describe aerial phenomena. But those terms are both
- restrictive and lacking in accuracy. The phenomena that we
- study ranges from micro specks in the sky to macro masses
- sometimes comparable to unnatural structures.
-
- Observations by witnesses of truly enigmatic occurences in
- the sky fall into two broad categories: (1) Natural aerial
- phenomena and/or (2) Unknown aerial phenomena (having an
- apparent intelligent source). Both categories deserve
- serious disciplined study. It is essential that we differen-
- tiate between the two categories and classify, when possible.
-
- Because of this crucial need, we do not go beyond the point
- of referring to anomalous aerial phenomena by other names
- such as spaceships, flying saucers and UFOs. To do so would
- be equivalent to stating that we study spaceships, flying
- saucers and unidentified flying objects; none of which would
- be accurate. We use such terms only as historical and
- reported references; not as verified identifiable nomen-
- clatures.
-
- We oppose the use of misleading names which help to give
- the press, public and scientific community a totally false
- impression of actual aerial phenomena. In order to overcome
- the stigma attached to this subject, we need the help and
- support of the most experienced and knowledgeable people
- available.
-
- Investigators, researchers and serious students of aerial
- phenomena are encouraged to share their works and findings
- with us. We endeavor to make as much factual information
- available as possible to both our associates and to the
- public at large. Should you wish to participate in our
- activities or have a work published and distributed,
- please contact us for details.
