UFO shapes. Types of UFOs

A comprehensive study of the properties of the “behavior” and size of UFOs, regardless of their shape, allows us to conditionally divide them into four main types.

1. Very small objects, which are balls or disks with a diameter of 20-100 cm, which fly at low altitudes, sometimes fly out of objects larger size and return to them. There is a known case that took place in October 1948 in the area of the Fargo airbase (North Dakota), when the pilot Gormon unsuccessfully pursued a round glowing object with a diameter of 30 cm, which very skillfully maneuvered, evading pursuit, and sometimes itself quickly moved towards the plane, forcing Gormon to avoid a collision.

2. Small UFOs, having an egg-shaped and disc-shaped shape and a diameter of 2-3 m. They usually fly at low altitude and most often land. Small UFOs have also been repeatedly seen detaching from and returning to the main objects.

3. The main UFOs, most often disks with a diameter of 9-40 m, the height of which in the central part is 1/5-1/10 of their diameter. The main UFOs fly independently in any layer of the atmosphere and sometimes land. Smaller objects can be separated from them.

4. Large UFOs, usually shaped like cigars or cylinders, 100-800 meters or more in length. They appear. mainly. in the upper layers of the atmosphere, do not perform complex maneuvers, and sometimes hover at high altitudes. There have been no recorded cases of them landing on the ground, but small objects have been observed repeatedly being separated from them. There is an assumption that large UFOs can fly in space. There are also isolated cases of observation of giant disks with a diameter of 100-200 m.

Such an object was observed during a test flight of a French Concorde aircraft at an altitude of 17,000 m above the Republic of Chad during solar eclipse June 30, 1973 The crew and a group of scientists on the plane filmed and took a series of color photographs of a luminous object in the shape of a mushroom cap with a diameter of 200 m and a height of 80 m, which followed an intersecting course. At the same time, the contours of the object were unclear, since it was apparently surrounded by an ionized plasma cloud. On February 2, 1974, the film was shown on French television. The results of the study of this object were not published.

Commonly encountered forms of UFOs have variations. For example, disks with one or two convex sides, spheres with or without rings encircling them, as well as oblate and elongated spheres were observed. Objects of rectangular and triangular shape are much less common. According to the French group for the study of aerospace phenomena, approximately 80% of all observed UFOs were round in the shape of disks, balls or spheres, and only 20% were elongated in the shape of cigars or cylinders. UFOs in the form of discs, spheres and cigars have been observed in most countries on all continents. Examples of rarely seen UFOs are given below. For example, UFOs with rings surrounding them, similar to the planet Saturn, were recorded in 1954 over Essex County (England) and over the city of Cincinnati (Ohio), in 1955 in Venezuela and in 1976 - over Canary Islands.

A UFO in the shape of a parallelepiped was observed in July 1977 in the Tatar Strait by members of the crew of the motor ship Nikolai Ostrovsky. This object flew next to the ship for 30 minutes at an altitude of 300-400 m, and then disappeared.

Since the end of 1989, triangular-shaped UFOs began to systematically appear over Belgium. According to the description of many eyewitnesses, their dimensions were approximately 30 by 40 m, with three or four luminous circles located on their lower part. The objects moved completely silently, hovered and took off at enormous speeds. On March 31, 1990, southeast of Brussels, three credible eyewitnesses observed how such a triangular-shaped object, six times larger than the visible disk of the moon, silently flew over their heads at an altitude of 300-400 m. Four luminous circles were clearly visible on the underside of the object.

On the same day, engineer Alferlan filmed such an object flying over Brussels with a video camera for two minutes. Before Alferlan's eyes, the object made a turn and three luminous circles and a red light between them became visible on its lower part. At the top of the object, Alferlan noticed a glowing lattice dome. This video was shown on central television on April 15, 1990. Along with the main forms of UFOs, there are many more different varieties. The table, shown at a meeting of the US Congress Committee on Science and Astronautics in 1968, depicted 52 UFOs of different shapes.

According to the international ufological organization “Contact international”, the following forms of UFOs have been observed:

2) oblong: rocket-like (with and without stabilizers); torpedo-shaped; cigar-shaped (without domes, with one or two domes); cylindrical; rod-shaped; fusiform;

3) pointed: pyramidal; in the shape of a regular or truncated cone; funnel-like; arrow-shaped; in the form of a flat triangle (with and without a dome); diamond-shaped;

4) rectangular: bar-like; in the shape of a cube or parallelepiped; in the shape of a flat square and rectangle;

5) unusual: mushroom-shaped, toroidal with a hole in the center, wheel-shaped (with and without spokes), cross-shaped, deltoid, V-shaped.

Classification of UFOs by type:

If you mean UFO spacecraft humanoid civilization, then it is better to classify them as the ECs themselves do. Ships are divided into five types.

2. 2nd tier ship or Base. Range - Star system. Volume up to several thousand cubic meters. The length is several kilometers. Carries an average of 5 ships of the 3rd order. Cases where giant flying cities were observed and there are sightings of UFOs of this class. Designed for several hundred humanoids.

3. Ship of the 3rd order (see photo.). Radius of action planet. Volume from several tens to one hundred or more cubic meters. Some of them can carry ships of the 4th and 5th order, others cannot. This UFO can be piloted by both humanoids and biorobots.

4. Ship of the 4th order. The size is several tens of cubic meters. Performs tasks according to its specialization, just like we have communication satellites, for weather observation, television satellites, etc. Piloted by biorobots.

5. Ship of the 5th order. Size from several cubic meters to a dozen or more. Designed for two or three biorobots. Performs the functions of an autonomous module with a specific task. Often, in case of crisis situations, biorobots are programmed to self-destruct along with the ship.

Some UFOs like to hide among the clouds. Others use psi-field radiation. This radiation, due to the repolarization of air molecules, creates a psi-field around the object, blocking the radiation of information outward from the ship. Thus, it becomes invisible to human consciousness, which perceives the object as an insignificant detail of the landscape and therefore does not fix it in consciousness. But the camera doesn’t care and it records all the photons of light falling on its film. From here known case manifestations on photographic film of a UFO that the photographer did not see.

For for many years sightings, eyewitnesses left numerous descriptions of UFOs. Flying saucers differ from each other in shape, color, size, flight speed and even smell. Ufologists are unable to identify any patterns in the appearance of UFOs. Unidentified objects are unpredictable. Even with simple calculations of which UFOs are observed more often, scientists get different numbers each time. Approximate statistics are:

Ball. Balls (spheres) make up the lion's share (approximately 32%) of the cases recorded in my database. As a rule, they are light or luminous; witnesses even used the word “shining”. Fire, red, orange, and silver balls are very common. Diameter - from 15 cm to 500 m. They can change shape, size, color. Humanoid creatures also appeared from the balls.

Attention! Cases have been described when the effects of spherical UFOs disabled power supply systems, on-board equipment and aircraft control systems, caused significant harm to human health or led to his death! There is also an attempt to abduct a person by a spherical UFO. IN to a greater extent this applies to small balls (up to several meters in diameter), and in the largest - formations with sizes from an orange to a soccer ball. ( It's about not about ball lightning - that's a topic for another discussion).

Disk. The share of recorded disk observations is about 9%. The color scheme is the same as that of the balls. The dimensions indicated by eyewitnesses in the descriptions are units and tens of meters. Can carry various lights. Can change shape. They were noticed during various disasters or before them. There is a known case when a small fiery disk easily dragged a train behind it.

"Cigar". The share of cigar-shaped UFOs is slightly less than discs - 8%. Most often they are silver in color, but orange, green, and black cigars are also mentioned. Dimensions from several meters to (there is also such a case) 3 km (!). Sometimes cigars release smaller objects. Once an attempt was made to fire rockets at a two-hundred-meter cigar. The missiles disappeared along with the fighter that fired them.

Ellipse. About 7% of UFOs have an elliptical shape. Sizes from 12 to 150 m.

"Plate". Classic, as many believe, for a UFO shape. Indeed, it looks like it’s upside down, or like two plates put together. Mostly silver, “metallic” color. Dimensions from tens to hundreds of meters. “Plates” make up about 5% of all observations.

Triangle. There is also a variety - a triangle with cut off vertices. The color is mainly black. Dimensions - from 3 to 140 meters. Observed in 3% of cases.

Cylinder. Like triangles, there are about 3% of them. Color - silver, luminous. Can release smaller objects.

Sickle. 2% of unidentified objects have a crescent shape. Dimensions - about 30 meters. When flying, it can leave a foggy trail - a trail. However, the trail was also observed in objects of other forms, including those described above. It is believed that many sightings of sickle-shaped UFOs are associated with tests of a partial orbital bombing system.

Conversations that in one or another part of our planet people have seen an alien have gained particular popularity since the forties of the twentieth century. Cases of meetings with last couple years have increased several times.

Scientists have proven that ninety percent of them are astronomical or meteorological phenomena, as well as visual illusions, classified types of flying equipment, or ordinary fakes on the part of interested parties. However, the remaining 10% of such observations are simply impossible to explain.

A little history

Scientists believe that people have observed alien ships since ancient times. This is confirmed by numerous myths, legends and stories that describe amazing objects flying across the sky, as well as the creatures that emerged from them. Based on these stories, unfortunately, it is impossible to identify the facts that actually happened. This is why ufologists focus their attention only on studying reports of strange objects being seen above the Earth only since the end of the nineteenth century. So, in 1890, residents northern regions The US has observed alien ships. American people describe them as airship-like devices shining with bright spotlights.

These strange flying objects flew over settlements and farms. Some of those who observed their movement claimed that they even saw the pilots who were in them. There is no consensus on the reliability of these stories. Many scientists believe that such reports are nothing more than fictitious hoaxes. However, there are also ufologists who consider these observations to be reliable.

Alien ships were seen by pilots during World War II. Often strange balls flying near their planes emitted a bright light. These unidentified objects were nicknamed "foo-fires." This term was taken from a comic book magazine that was popular at the time. At first, pilots assumed that the glowing balls were reconnaissance vehicles or secret weapons fascist Germany. However, only after the end of the war it was discovered that German pilots also saw bright lights, considering them to be a British or American new device.

Alien ships were observed in large numbers in summer and autumn days 1946 over Norway and Sweden. People dubbed them "ghost missiles" and considered these objects secret weapon Russians, which was created using German military programs. The Swedish Ministry of Defense has clarified that eighty percent of such cases are nothing more than natural phenomena. However, 20% of what was seen was never explained.

Reports of "foo fighters" and "airships" are more likely and believable than stories from ancient legends. However, many ufologists still continue to question the reliability of the reports described above. Most researchers believe that modern era The study of UFOs began on June 24, 1947. It was on this day that businessman and pilot Arnold Cannett, flying over Washington state in the Cascade Mountains, saw 9 strange crescent-shaped objects.

The alien ships were in his visibility zone for only three and a half minutes, but this time was enough to make sure that these were not planes at all. Arnold broadcast his message on the radio and, upon landing at the airport, met the reporters who had already rushed to get the sensation. Answering their questions, he described the trajectory of the UFO, saying that it was similar to the flight of a plate thrown parallel to the surface of the water. Since then, UFOs have received the name “flying saucer”.

Types of alien ships

Ufologists comprehensively study the behavior and size of UFOs. Such studies have made it possible to identify four main types of alien ships. The first of these includes the smallest objects. These are disks or balls with a diameter of 20 to 100 cm. Such UFOs fly at low altitudes. Sometimes they separate from larger objects and then return to them.

The second type of alien ships includes small UFOs that are egg- and disk-shaped. The diameter of such flying objects ranges from 2 to 3 meters. These alien ships are often spotted at low altitude. They most often land and are carriers of small objects, which either separate from them or return to them again.

The third type of alien ships is considered the main one. These UFOs are disks whose diameter ranges from 9 to 40 meters. The height of such a figure in the central part is equal to 1/5-1/10 of its diameter. These alien ships fly independently in all layers of the atmosphere, only occasionally landing on Earth. Smaller objects are also sometimes separated from them.

The fourth type includes large UFOs. As a rule, they are shaped like cylinders or cigars and range in length from 100 to 800, and sometimes more, meters. They are observed in the upper layers of the atmosphere, flying along a simple trajectory, sometimes simply hovering in the air. There has been no evidence yet that alien ships of this type are landing on Earth. Anyone who observed the “cigars” only claims that small objects are separated from these UFOs. It is believed that big ships capable of flying in space. This type also includes giant disks observed in some cases, the diameter of which ranges from 100 to 200 m.

Basic forms of UFO

Alien ships appear before the eyes of earthlings in the form of:

Disks having one or two convex sides;

Balls, surrounded by rings or without them;

Elongated and flattened spheres;

Triangular and rectangular objects.

A French group of specialists studying aerospace phenomena has released data according to which round-shaped UFOs in the form of balls, disks or spheres are most often found. And only twenty percent of alien ships look like top hats and cigars.

Types of UFOs

Unusual flying objects have been observed on all continents of planet Earth. The alien ship can be described by eyewitnesses:

Round, namely in the shape of an inverted bowl or plate;

Disc-shaped, with or without domes;

Hat-shaped, like a bell or like Saturn;

Pear-shaped, egg-shaped, resembling a barrel, pear or top;

Oblong, like a cigar, cylinder, spindle, torpedo or rocket;

Pointed, resembling a pyramid, a regular or truncated cone, a funnel, a flat triangle or a rhombus;

Rectangular, similar to a bar, parallelepiped or square;

Very unusual, resembling a mushroom, a wheel with or without spokes, a cross, a letter.

UFO flights

Eyewitnesses indicate that all ships are capable of moving through space at tremendous speed. They switch to this mode instantly from a state of motionless hovering. In addition, UFOs surprise with their ability to make sharp maneuvers and instantly change the original direction to the opposite. There are many examples confirming that UFOs can fly not only in the atmosphere, but also in space. Moreover, their movement is silent and does not disturb the environment.

It is also interesting that during the flights of alien ships, the explosive sounds that accompany our super-fast aircraft are not heard. It seems that these objects are not hampered by air resistance, since their body can be turned to either side relative to the trajectory of movement.

But the most unusual property of all types of UFOs is their ability to become invisible, disappearing from the field of view of the observer. This is confirmed by a number of recorded cases.

Unusual lighting

There are many photos of alien ships from which one or more light rays are emanating. They resemble the lights of searchlights aimed at the ground. Some people who have observed such UFOs claim that such rays are able to move back and forth, down and up. Sometimes these space spotlights periodically “turn on” and “turn off.”

However, there have been cases when the rays emitted by an alien ship exhibited unusual properties. They did not disperse in space, retained the same brightness along their entire length, and ended in luminous balls. At times, the light emanating from the UFO would move slowly and then instantly be pulled into an unidentified object. One more amazing feature Such rays lie in their ability to bend, outlining any angle in the air, up to a straight line. Similar cases were observed both abroad and in our country.

Appearance

Photos of alien ships taken by eyewitnesses indicate that most often these objects have a metallic, silver-aluminum or light pearl color. Sometimes they are enveloped in a cloud, visually blurring the contours of the object.
UFOs, as a rule, have a shiny, polished surface with no rivets or seams. According to eyewitnesses, the upper side of such a ship is lighter, and the lower side is dark. Transparent domes rise above some UFOs.

The middle part of the object often has one or even two rows of round portholes or rectangular windows. Some UFOs emit rods that look like periscopes or antennas. In some cases, these parts rotate or move.

On the bottom of an unidentified object, it is sometimes possible to see 3-4 supports that extend during landing and retract inward during takeoff.

No one was able to visit the inside of the alien ship. There is some evidence of people claiming that they were abducted by representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations, but the authenticity of these stories is clearly doubted by ufologists.

Unusual find

An unknown object was discovered at the bottom of the Gulf of Bothnia, between Sweden and Finland. Ufologists around the world believe that an alien ship was found in this area.

A huge object with a round shape was discovered by Swedish deep sea explorers in 2011. Scientists were searching for the wreckage of ancient shipwrecks. At a depth of 92 meters, instead of ancient boxes, they discovered a round object of strange origin. Its diameter is just over 18 m.

Researchers are confident that an alien ship has been discovered in this area and has suffered a disaster. This is indicated by the crumpled and pitted bottom around the object. It seems that a flying saucer, having fallen into sea depths, was still trying to move.

Many experts believe that UFOs create many problems for ships passing in the area. It turns off their equipment, and the devices simply stop working.
However, this version also has its opponents. They believe that in the waters Baltic Sea there is not an alien ship at all, but ordinary rocks, which over many years have taken the shape of a flying saucer. However, it has not yet been possible to either confirm or refute the existing assumptions. All attempts to go down to the strange object and explore it end in failure.

UFO in outer space

Mysterious photographs of unidentified objects were brought to Earth in 1972. American astronauts participating in the Apollo 16 expedition. The footage clearly showed an unknown origin. Several decades later, when viewing photographs of the lunar surface, white balls were also noticed on them. Various versions and there were many guesses about this. But the most plausible explanation was that these objects were nothing more than alien ships.

A luminous object similar to a lunar UFO was also discovered on Mars. Photographs of him were published by NASA in the free press. Ufologists believe that this object, flying over the Red Planet at low altitude, was clearly controlled by an intelligent being. It is believed that the image shows an alien ship. It is quite possible that he carried out some kind of mission over Mars.

UFO in the frame

Today there is large number photographs showing unidentified objects. The first of them was taken in 1883. The author of the photo is astronomer from Mexico J. Bonilla.

All photos that fall into the hands of ufologists undergo examination. After all, sometimes it happens that an alien ship turns out to be either a natural phenomenon or an outright fake. But genuine photographs are rarely of high quality and understandable, since a UFO always appears unexpectedly. This also makes the work of researchers difficult.

Ufologists have several criteria according to which the authenticity of UFO footage will be determined. The most basic of them is the reliability of the photographer. In addition, to confirm their photographs, the eyewitness must provide ufologists with original negatives or the camera itself. It is also desirable that photographs of the UFO be taken from different points.

How to determine what is unknown? UFO is a publicized sighting of an object or source of light in the sky or on the ground whose appearance, trajectory, actions, movements, emitted light and colors have no logical or natural explanation and which cannot be explained not only by eyewitnesses, but also by scientific and technical experts who attempt to explain the observation after examining the evidence.” This is the definition of the American UFO Association CUFOS. UFOs are observed on earth, in the atmosphere, stratosphere, space and hydrosphere, that is, under water (NPO - unidentified underwater objects).

What do UFOs look like?

At night, in some cases these are clots of light, often of a regular geometric shape: a sphere, lentil, cylinder, in other cases - luminous single points or a group of points.

During the day, these are the same lights, but it is more difficult to distinguish them against a light background due to less contrast. Therefore, observations are recorded less frequently during the day. But sometimes during daylight hours you can see unidentified flying objects in the form of a dense body, sometimes even giving the impression of a metal structure.

However, one should not rush to conclusions, because some natural or technical phenomena or objects can be mistaken for UFOs. This can usually include:

"UFO: undeclared war” in “Evening” chilling details were given...
More often this happens in the dark, when they appear before people in the form of luminous objects and stand out most, attracting our gaze against the background of the night sky. Most of the observations fall on summer time when observers sleep less and spend more time fresh air and nature, far from civilization and large cities. UFO sighting activity peaks in the predawn hours.
As was written above, UFOs are observed everywhere: on earth, in the atmosphere, stratosphere, hydrosphere (underwater), in space... And there is evidence of sightings of unidentified flying objects within the Moon. There is probably no place on Earth where UFOs have not been observed: they were depicted in rock paintings, described in ancient manuscripts, their images are even found on ancient icons. There is evidence of observations of UFOs in the polar regions of our planet, covered with many meters of ice, which, apparently, does not seem to be an obstacle for them at all - they pierce this shell without consequences and disappear from sight at enormous speeds, leaving behind a hole and blocks of debris scattered to the sides ice.
UFOs are observed on radio radar screens and sonar screens and are not always visualized, which leaves observers completely confused. It also happens the other way around - what is seen with the eyes is not detected by technical means.
On land they most often appear in sparsely populated areas. Judging by the places where UFOs are frequently observed, we can say that they are attracted to certain places on our planet, called geopathogenic zones.
How do UFOs move?
Evidence of the reality of UFOs... But no less amazing is this detail...
Unidentified flying objects do not have a strict trajectory and law of motion: according to observers’ descriptions, small UFOs are nearby earth's surface capable of moving as they please - smoothly, chaotically, making unimaginable turns and instantly changing both the speed of movement and the trajectory. They can descend from above and fly up, they can fly horizontally beyond the horizon, and fly, repeating the terrain. And it also happens that the object simply disappears or scatters to the sides, dividing into several parts. The manner in which UFOs move begins to appear during long-distance flights. Objects were observed flying horizontally in zigzags or “diving” as if on waves.
There are photographs showing group flights of UFOs, both in strict formation and with chaotic movement in a group. Large observed objects most often move in a straight line, without sudden changes in the direction of movement.
The recorded flight speed range is from 0 (hovering) to 72,000 km/h - in earth's atmosphere! And the speed of lunar luminous objects reached more than 100 km/s. At the same time, the acceleration achieved by UFOs and the overloads during their maneuvers, by earthly standards, are prohibitive, both for biological species, and for technology. It is also curious and cannot go unnoticed that it has never been reported shock wave, which would accompany technical equipment crossing the sound speed barrier.
The landing and takeoff of the UFO are also not typified. The object can remain hanging in the air, land on a body, retractable telescopic rods or other type of support. Take-off is usually described as follows: first - a slow rise of several meters, hovering for a few or tens of seconds, then - a rapid start and transformation into a disappearing point in the sky. However, there are other takeoff options.
UFO polymorphism
This distinguishing feature such objects. They are able to change their shapes, break up into sectors, combine from several into one, stretch into cigar-shaped shapes, take the form of protozoa geometric shapes or objects well known to us.
Watch out for UFOs!
As it turns out, there are other aliens from other worlds...
When meeting with a UFO, you must be careful: only in 5% of cases are these contacts positive for the contactee. As a rule, meetings do not pass without a trace: anything can happen to people, from temporary paralysis motor system and to physical or mental injury. Deaths have also been recorded.
According to statistics, many people were simply kidnapped. There are also a few known cases of returning back to Earth. What happens to the abducted people can only be guessed from their memories under regressive hypnosis– as a rule, the memory of contactees is simply erased, and they cannot remember something on their own. We are probably just research objects for the aliens.
However, exceptions are also known - when contact brings the discovery of new abilities, the cure of diseases, pleasant sexual contact (female contacts with earthly men), obtaining information, excursions into their world, etc.
Types of UFOs
A conditional division of observed unidentified flying objects can be carried out according to the size of the objects:
1. Very small objects, which are balls or disks with a diameter of 20–100 cm, moving at low altitudes, sometimes flying out of larger objects and returning to them.
2. Small flying saucers, egg-shaped and disk-shaped and with a diameter of 2–3 m. They usually fly at low altitudes and most often land. Small UFOs have also been repeatedly seen detaching from and returning to larger - main - objects.
3. Major unidentified flying objects, most often disks with a diameter of 9–40 m, the height of which in the central part is 1/5–1/10 of their diameter. The main UFOs fly independently in any layer of the atmosphere and sometimes land. Smaller objects can be separated from them.
4. Large UFOs, usually shaped like cigars or cylinders, 100–800 m or more in length. They appear mainly in the upper layers of the atmosphere, do not perform complex maneuvers, and at times can hover at high altitudes. There have been no recorded cases of them landing on the ground, but small objects have been observed repeatedly being separated from them. There is an assumption that large UFOs can carry out space flights. There are also isolated cases of observation of giant disks with a diameter of 100–200 meters.
Forms, UFO device
Something is happening in the Universe that we are not yet able to comprehend with our minds...
About 80% of all observed flying saucers are shaped like disks or balls, and only 20% are elongated.
Flying objects in the form of disks, spheres and cigars have been observed in most countries on all continents. Triangular-shaped UFOs began to be recorded from the end of 1989, and on their lower part there were 3 or 4 luminous circles. As a rule, UFOs move absolutely silently, hover and take off, instantly developing enormous speed.
But, focusing on eyewitness descriptions, one must take into account that they may not record the real shape of the UFO. Objects referred to as spheres, ovals and ellipses may actually be disks tilted at an angle to the horizon. A disk-shaped object may look like a ball from below, like an ellipse from below and from the side, and like a spindle or mushroom cap from the side; an object shaped like a cigar or an elongated sphere may appear like a ball from the front and back; a cylindrical object may look like a parallelepiped from below and from the side, and like a ball from the front and back. A parallelepiped-shaped object may look like a cube from the front and back.
Most UFOs look like metallic bodies of silver-aluminum or light pearl color. At times they are shrouded in a cloud, as a result of which their contours seem to be blurred. The surface is often shiny, as if polished, and no seams or rivets are visible on it. The top side of an object is usually light, and the bottom is dark. Some UFOs have domes that are sometimes transparent. In some cases, one or two rows of rectangular “windows” or round “portholes” were visible in the middle of the objects. On some UFOs, rods similar to antennas or periscopes were clearly visible. There have been cases where these rods have moved or rotated.
Inside the bottom of a flying saucer there are sometimes 3 or 4 supports, which extend out during landing and retract inward during takeoff.
The most important characteristic feature UFOs are the manifestation of unusual properties not found in anything known to us natural phenomena, nor from technical means created by mankind. At the same time, the impression arises that individual properties of these objects clearly contradict the laws of physics known to us.
Unusual Effects
There is talk of a surgical procedure, humiliating examinations by alien beings...
The unusual nature of the effects associated with the curvature of space convinces many ufologists of the existence of a reality beyond direct observation. The compression of space can explain many strange messages from contactees, who claimed that the UFOs they had been inside were relatively small on the outside, but inside they were led along a long corridor for a long time, showing vast rooms. That is, for an external observer, an unidentified flying object can have arbitrarily small dimensions, up to balls or disks with a diameter of 150–200 cm, but in reality its size inside is several tens of meters.
As you can see, concepts such as shape and size do not have a meaning for UFOs. of great importance and can be changed by pilots at any time. This unusual perception can be explained, for example, by the compression of space around these objects.
In addition, data on the size of flying saucers reported by eyewitnesses is in some cases quite relative, since they are difficult to determine by eye with sufficient accuracy. Linear dimensions can only be determined when the distance from the observer to the object is known. But determining the distance in itself presents great difficulties, because human eyes, due to stereoscopic vision, can correctly determine the distance only within 100 meters.
At night, UFOs usually glow, and sometimes their color and glow intensity change with changes in speed. When flying rapidly, they have a color similar to that produced during arc welding; at a slower rate - a bluish color. When falling or braking, they turn red or orange. However, it happens that UFOs hovering motionless glow with a bright light, although it is possible that it is not the objects themselves that glow, but the air around them under the influence of some radiation emanating from these objects.

A comprehensive study of the properties of the “behavior” and size of UFOs, regardless of their shape, allows us to conditionally divide them into four main types.

1. Very small objects, such as balls or disks with a diameter of 20-100 cm, which fly at low altitudes, sometimes fly out of larger objects and return to them. There is a known case that took place in October 1948 in the area of the Fargo airbase (North Dakota), when the pilot Gormon unsuccessfully pursued a round luminous object with a diameter of 30 cm, which very skillfully maneuvered, evading pursuit, and sometimes itself quickly moved towards the plane, forcing Hormon to avoid the collision.
2. Small UFOs, egg-shaped and disc-shaped and with a diameter of 2-3 m. They usually fly at low altitude and most often land. Small UFOs have also been repeatedly seen detaching from and returning to the main objects.
3. The main UFOs are most often disks with a diameter of 9-40 m, the height of which in the central part is 1/5-1/10 of their diameter. The main UFOs fly independently in any layer of the atmosphere and sometimes land. Smaller objects can be separated from them.
4. Large UFOs, usually shaped like cigars or cylinders, 100-800 meters or more in length. They appear mainly in the upper layers of the atmosphere, do not perform complex maneuvers, and sometimes hover at high altitudes. There have been no recorded cases of them landing on the ground, but small objects have been observed repeatedly being separated from them. There is speculation that large UFOs can fly in space. There are also isolated cases of observation of giant disks with a diameter of 100-200 m.

Such an object was observed during a test flight of the French Concorde aircraft at an altitude of 17,000 m above the Republic of Chad during a solar eclipse on June 30, 1973. The crew and a group of scientists on the plane filmed a movie and took a series of color photographs of a luminous object in the shape of a mushroom cap with a diameter of 200 m and a height of 80 m, which followed an intersecting course. At the same time, the contours of the object were unclear, since it was apparently surrounded by an ionized plasma cloud. On February 2, 1974, the film was shown on French television. The results of the study of this object were not published.

Commonly encountered forms of UFOs have variations. For example, disks with one or two convex sides, spheres with or without rings surrounding them, as well as oblate and elongated spheres were observed. Objects of rectangular and triangular shape are much less common. According to the French group for the study of aerospace phenomena, approximately 80% of all observed UFOs were round in the shape of disks, balls or spheres, and only 20% were elongated in the shape of cigars or cylinders. UFOs in the form of discs, spheres and cigars have been observed in most countries on all continents. Examples of rarely seen UFOs are given below. For example, UFOs with rings surrounding them, similar to the planet Saturn, were recorded in 1954 over Essex County (England) and over the city of Cincinnati (Ohio), in 1955 in Venezuela and in 1976 over the Canary Islands .

On the same day, engineer Alferlan filmed such an object flying over Brussels with a video camera for two minutes. Before Alferlan’s eyes, the object made a turn and three luminous circles and a red light between them became visible on its lower part. At the top of the object, Alferlan noticed a glowing lattice dome. This video was shown on central television on April 15, 1990.
Along with the main forms of UFOs, there are many more different varieties. The table, shown at a meeting of the US Congress Committee on Science and Astronautics in 1968, depicted 52 UFOs of different shapes.

According to the international ufological organization "Contact international", the following forms of UFOs have been observed:

1) round: disc-shaped (with and without domes); in the form of an inverted plate, bowl, saucer or rugby ball (with or without a dome); in the form of two plates folded together (with and without two bulges); hat-shaped (with and without domes); bell-like; in the shape of a sphere or ball (with or without a dome); similar to the planet Saturn; ovoid or pear-shaped; barrel-shaped; similar to an onion or a top;
2) oblong: rocket-like (with and without stabilizers); torpedo-shaped; cigar-shaped (without domes, with one or two domes); cylindrical; rod-shaped; fusiform;
3) pointed: pyramidal; in the shape of a regular or truncated cone; funnel-like; arrow-shaped; in the form of a flat triangle (with and without a dome); diamond-shaped;
4) rectangular: block-like; in the shape of a cube or parallelepiped; in the shape of a flat square and rectangle;
5) unusual: mushroom-shaped, toroidal with a hole in the center, wheel-shaped (with and without spokes), cross-shaped, deltoid, V-shaped. Generalized NIKAP data on UFO sightings various shapes in the USA. for 1942-1963. are given in the following table:

Notes:

1. Objects, by their nature classified in this list as spheres, ovals and ellipses, may in fact be disks inclined at an angle to the horizon.
2. The luminous points in this list include small brightly luminous objects, the shape of which could not be determined due to the great distance.
It should be borne in mind that in many cases, observers' readings may not reflect the true shape of objects, since a disk-shaped object may look like a ball from below, like an ellipse from below, and like a spindle or mushroom cap from the side; an object shaped like a cigar or an elongated sphere may appear like a ball from the front and back; a cylindrical object may look like a parallelepiped from below and from the side, and like a ball from the front and back. In turn, an object in the shape of a parallelepiped from the front and back may look like a cube.
Data on the linear dimensions of a UFO reported by eyewitnesses are in some cases very relative, since with visual observation only the angular dimensions of the object can be determined with sufficient accuracy.
Linear dimensions can only be determined if the distance from the observer to the object is known. But determining the distance in itself presents great difficulties, because human eyes, due to stereoscopic vision, can correctly determine the distance only within a range of up to 100 m. Therefore, the linear dimensions of a UFO can only be determined very approximately.
UFOs usually look like metallic bodies of silver-aluminum or light pearl color. Sometimes they are shrouded in a cloud, as a result of which their contours seem to be blurred.
The surface of the UFO is usually shiny, as if polished, and no seams or rivets are visible on it. The top side of an object is usually light, and the bottom is dark. Some UFOs have domes that are sometimes transparent.
UFOs with domes were observed, in particular, in 1957 over New York, in 1963 in the state of Victoria (Australia), and in our country in 1975 near Borisoglebsk and in 1978 in Beskudnikovo.
In some cases, one or two rows of rectangular “windows” or round “portholes” were visible in the middle of the objects. An oblong object with such “portholes” was observed in 1965 by members of the crew of the Norwegian ship Yavesta over the Atlantic.
In our country, UFOs with “portholes” were observed in 1976 in the village of Sosenki near Moscow, in 1981 near Michurinsk, in 1985 near Geok-Tepe in the Ashgabat region. On some UFOs, rods similar to antennas or periscopes were clearly visible.
In February 1963, in the state of Victoria (Australia), a disk 8 m in diameter with a rod similar to an antenna hovered at an altitude of 300 m above a tree.
In July 1978, crew members of the motor ship "Yargora", traveling along Mediterranean Sea, observed flying over North Africa a spherical object, in the lower part of which three antenna-like structures were visible.
There have also been cases when these rods moved or rotated. Below are two such examples. In August 1976, Muscovite A.M. Troitsky and six other witnesses saw a silvery metal object over the Pirogovsky reservoir, 8 times the size of the lunar disk, slowly moving at an altitude of several tens of meters. Two rotating stripes were visible on its side surface. When the object was above the witnesses, a black hatch opened in its lower part, from which a thin cylinder extended. The lower part of this cylinder began to describe circles, while upper part remained attached to the object. In July 1978, passengers on the Sevastopol-Leningrad train near Kharkov watched for several minutes as a rod with three brightly luminous points emerged from the top of a motionlessly hanging elliptical UFO. This rod was deflected to the right three times and returned to its previous position. Then a rod with one luminous point extended from the bottom of the UFO. Inside the lower part of the UFO there are sometimes three or four landing legs, which extend during landing and retract inward during takeoff. Here are three examples of such observations.
In November 1957, Senior Lieutenant N., returning from Stead Air Force Base (Las Vegas), saw four disk-shaped UFOs with a diameter of 15 m on the field, each of which stood on three landing supports. As they took off, these supports retracted inward before his eyes.
In July 1970, a young Frenchman, Erien J., near the village of Jabrelle-les-Bords, clearly saw how four metal supports ending in rectangles were gradually retracted inside a round UFO with a diameter of 6 m that had taken off.
In the USSR, in June 1979, in the city of Zolochev, Kharkov region, witness Starchenko observed how a UFO in the shape of an overturned saucer with a row of portholes and a dome landed 50 m from him. When the object dropped to a height of 5-6 m, three landing supports about 1 m long, ending in the likeness of blades, telescopically extended from its bottom. After standing on the ground for about 20 minutes, the object took off, and it was visible how the supports were retracted into its body. At night, UFOs usually glow, sometimes their color and intensity of the glow change with changes in speed. When flying rapidly, they have a color similar to that produced by arc welding; at a slower rate - a bluish color. When falling or braking, they turn red or orange. But it happens that objects hovering motionless glow with bright light, although it is possible that it is not the objects themselves that glow, but the air around them under the influence of some radiation emanating from these objects. Sometimes some lights are visible on a UFO: on elongated objects - on the bow and stern, and on disks - on the periphery and on the bottom. There are also reports of rotating objects with red, white or green lights.
In October 1989, in Cheboksary, six UFOs in the form of two saucers folded together hovered over the territory of the Industrial Tractor Plant production association. Then a seventh object joined them. On each of them yellow, green and red lights were visible. Objects rotated and moved up and down. Half an hour later, six objects soared up at great speed and disappeared, but one remained for some time. Sometimes these lights come on and off in a specific sequence.
In September 1965, two police officers in Exeter (New York) observed the flight of a UFO with a diameter of about 27 m, on which there were five red lights that flashed on and off in the sequence: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st. The duration of each cycle was 2 seconds.
A similar incident occurred in July 1967 in Newton, New Hampshire, where two former radar operators observed through a telescope a luminous object with a series of lights flashing on and off in the same sequence as at the Exeter site.
The most important characteristic feature of UFOs is the manifestation of unusual properties that are not found either in natural phenomena known to us or in technical means created by man. Moreover, it seems that certain properties of these objects clearly contradict the laws of physics known to us.

Classification of UFOs by type

If by UFO we mean a spaceship of a humanoid civilization, then it is better to classify them as the ECs themselves do. Ships are divided into five types.

1. 1st order ship or Matka. Base station in the Galactic sector. Range: Galaxy. Volume from thousands to tens of thousands of cubic meters. The length is measured in kilometers. Includes all kinds of technical structures, energy reserves and basing facilities for thousands of humanoids. The form is the most varied. Inside it can carry 7-10 ships of the 2nd order.
2. 2nd tier ship or Base. Radius - Star system. Volume up to several thousand cubic meters. The length is several kilometers. Carries an average of 5 ships of the 3rd order. Cases where giant flying cities were observed and there are sightings of UFOs of this class. Designed for several hundred humanoids.
3. Ship of the 3rd order (see photo.). Radius of action planet. Volume from several tens to one hundred or more cubic meters. Some of them can carry ships of the 4th and 5th order, others cannot. This UFO can be piloted by both humanoids and biorobots.
4. Ship of the 4th order. The size is several tens of cubic meters. Performs tasks in its specialization, just like we have communication satellites, for weather observation, television satellites, etc. Piloted by biorobots.
5. 5th order ship. Size from a few cubic meters to a dozen or more. Designed for two or three biorobots. Performs the functions of an autonomous module with a specific task. Often, in case of crisis situations, biorobots are programmed to self-destruct along with the ship.
Some UFOs like to hide among the clouds. Others use psi-field radiation. This radiation, due to the repolarization of air molecules, creates a psi-field around the object, blocking the radiation of information outward from the ship. Thus, it becomes invisible to human consciousness, which perceives the object as an insignificant detail of the landscape and therefore does not fix it in consciousness. But the camera doesn’t care and it records all the photons of light that fall on its film. Hence the well-known cases of UFO manifestations on photographic film that the photographer did not see.
