• "And I saw this thing just come sailing slowly in from the woods, cross the river and just come floating across my garden. It was lit up something terrible. It wasn't going very fast, just slowly along. It was only about six foot long and not quite a foot thick. It looked to be flat on the top and bottom but you couldn't tell, it was lit up so bright. It had whitish lights on the top and bottom, like my kitchen lights, and little red lights on the side. There were six or seven of them, kind of pointed in back like tear drops. It didn't make any noise. Talk about light, you could see just as plain all the way to the end of the garden. It crept crawling along and then it passed behind my woodshed and suddenly everything went black. That's the last I saw of it. It was really nice to see, though. It was pretty.. prettiest thing I've ever seen in my life."

As it moved out over the field I could start seeing more portions of the top half which was domed shaped and concaves on the side of the dome - sort of like a lemon squeezer."

• "After 30 years of research it is obvious that UFO traces represent the most direct approach to resolving the UFO mystery.. When they leave traces behind, we have something tangible to examine long after the object is gone. I believe the data indicates constructed machines under some sort of intelligent control which can interact with their surroundings in a very physical way. What these machines are or where they might originate are open questions. These questions simply cannot be answered by ignoring the facts."

• "Among the hundreds of so-called 'UFO reports' each year, a sizable fraction of those clearly observed by reputable witnesses remain unexplained - and difficult to explain in conventional terms. There is a modicum of physical of physical evidence, radar cases, residual cases and some films – and photographs in support of the unexplained cases.. In answer to the skeptical objection that the alleged unexplained cases have not been thoroughly investigated, that is exactly my point. They should be. The circumstantial - and sometimes physical - evidence indicates something real is going on for which no satisfactory explanation currently exists."

• "There is no doubt in my mind that today if not many times over the past fifty years we have had the surveillance capabilities to completely monitor the activities of certain UFO flights and know exactly when they’re going, where they’re going, how they’re going, where they appear form and leave to, all the characteristics about them - we have radar based devices that will not only show the distance, direction and azimuth of an object and all that but will also how shape. We have devices the army has developed for tracking projectiles - they check the acoustic wave and when something crosses over they can immediately track that data and go back to the source.. I don’t believe any of these things fly over our country today without being known and if somebody wanted the UFO mystery to completely disappear they could in five minutes release enough data to show exactly what’s going on and is not going on."

• "And I saw this thing just come sailing slowly in from the woods, cross the river and just come floating across my garden. It was lit up something terrible. It wasn't going very fast, just slowly along. It was only about six foot long and not quite a foot thick. It looked to be flat on the top and bottom but you couldn't tell, it was lit up so bright. It had whitish lights on the top and bottom, like my kitchen lights, and little red lights on the side. There were six or seven of them, kind of pointed in back like tear drops. It didn't make any noise. Talk about light, you could see just as plain all the way to the end of the garden. It crept crawling along and then it passed behind my woodshed and suddenly everything went black. That's the last I saw of it. It was really nice to see, though. It was pretty.. prettiest thing I've ever seen in my life."
Adolph Birkland, Two Harbors, Minnesota, September, 1974 (Bob Pratt Archives).

• “The UFO was over where the beach was.. hovering I would say maybe a hundred, two hundred feet in the air. It was silver. It was your basic UFO.. it was definitely completely metallic with a silver dome on top and a silver dome on the bottom of it, like two plates put together. And it had little lights around it.”
George Gray describes UFO witnessed whilst driving along the Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica.

• "This thing had landed in the roadway. It took up the whole width of the road and overlapped onto the pavements. It wasn’t on the ground, it had about eight massive suckers. The centre was still, but the outer rim was spinning slowly and it had white lights flashing, like a camera flash. There were about 30 of us staring at it. We could hear it humming."

• "I looked up and this is when I seen the huge object above my house and over parts of the barn. I judged it to be at least 150 feet across, it was saucer shaped with a high dome, it was very shiny on the underneath, it was a porcelain type finish.. and I was getting a tremendous shock all over my body, my hair was standing up and I had an electrical static feeling on the hair on my arms and on my head. As it moved out over the field I could start seeing more portions of the top half which was domed shaped and concaves on the side of the dome - sort of like a lemon squeezer."

When you don't hear something that does incredible maneuvers, makes 90 degree turns, starts and stops and accelerates at hundreds of miles an hour, then you have to start considering that maybe we are dealing with something that is not made on this earth."

• "In my view and in that of millions like me, there is no question as to the existence in multiple of these advanced machines and in diverse forms-discs, crosses, wedges, triangles, boomerangs, cigars.. The question is not whether they exist but rather are some of them here to do our species harm or good?"

Captain Guillaume Kervendal, French Gendarmerie.
• "We've got a lot of similarities in descriptions of the UFO sightings and then there's some differences as well.. of course back in the early years we were getting a lot of reports of the big discs, back in the late sixties for example around here we had a lot of reports of very large, solid, sometimes battleship grey, metallic domed shaped objects - some with portholes or windows in them. Some of them very low to the ground, even reports of them on the ground."
Researcher Stan Gordon - Chestnut Ridge, Allegheny Mountains, Pennsylvania.

• "I have found there are real objects under in intelligent control being seen on the ground and in our skies worldwide. The unknowns have varied over the decades from 22 percent in my own civilian files, 30 percent in the University of Colorda Condon Committee scientific studies, to at least 40 percent (recently revised) found in the U.S. Air Force Project Blue Book military investigations. This is not acceptable, no matter who is doing the investigations."

• "Here you have the statistics now published on the official French website of the National Centre for Space Studies and what does it say? It says that about 28% of their UFO files are 'unknown' unidentified flying objects.
If we go back in time you had in the U.S. a very important study which was called 'Special Report 14' (PDF) by the Batelle Memorial Institute for Project Bluebook and they found a 25.5% 'unknown' rate so we are now finding these kinds of figures for the French files."

• "Much more disturbing are the indications from my limited review of BB cases that there may be as many as possibly 4,000 Unexplained UFO cases miscategorized as IFO's in the BB files. McDonald similarly stated in 1968 at his CASI lecture that from his review of BB cases he estimated that 30-40% of 12,000 cases were Unexplained, or about 3,600 to 4,800. These are mostly military cases and many involve radar."

• "Objects like these have been tracked on radar and other instruments, left puzzling ground traces, stopped motor vehicles, interfered with electrical systems and provided other kinds of evidence of their physical and technological presence."
Researcher Jerome Clark.

• "After 30 years of research it is obvious that UFO traces represent the most direct approach to resolving the UFO mystery.. When they leave traces behind, we have something tangible to examine long after the object is gone. I believe the data indicates constructed machines under some sort of intelligent control which can interact with their surroundings in a very physical way. What these machines are or where they might originate are open questions. These questions simply cannot be answered by ignoring the facts."

• "Over a thirteen year period roughly I started amassing a huge collection of casefiles and material and then parsing the data to look for commonalities in the reports - common characteristics. I worked up a working profile if you will of these triangular UFOs, put together a comprehensive timeline showing that these reports not only went back to the 1980's and 1990's but in point of fact went back to the 1970's, 1960's, 1950's and 1940's."

British Ambassador Gordon Creighton.

• "Among the hundreds of so-called 'UFO reports' each year, a sizable fraction of those clearly observed by reputable witnesses remain unexplained - and difficult to explain in conventional terms. There is a modicum of physical of physical evidence, radar cases, residual cases and some films – and photographs in support of the unexplained cases.. In answer to the skeptical objection that the alleged unexplained cases have not been thoroughly investigated, that is exactly my point. They should be. The circumstantial - and sometimes physical - evidence indicates something real is going on for which no satisfactory explanation currently exists."
Researcher Richard Hall.

• "There is no doubt in my mind that today if not many times over the past fifty years we have had the surveillance capabilities to completely monitor the activities of certain UFO flights and know exactly when they’re going, where they’re going, how they’re going, where they appear form and leave to, all the characteristics about them - we have radar based devices that will not only show the distance, direction and azimuth of an object and all that but will also how shape. We have devices the army has developed for tracking projectiles - they check the acoustic wave and when something crosses over they can immediately track that data and go back to the source.. I don’t believe any of these things fly over our country today without being known and if somebody wanted the UFO mystery to completely disappear they could in five minutes release enough data to show exactly what’s going on and is not going on."
John F. Schuessler, Executive Director of MUFON (Ret.)

• "The way an intelligence analyst at the National Security Agency put it to me, Richard he said, for a considerable period of time there has been a cultural intrusion of other intelligent life into the psychosphere of humanity and for our own political, economic, social and cultural reasons we see it and we know it and we discuss it in popular culture but we limit our discussion with an official refusal to acknowledge its reality."
