FJ: How can you explain the UFO phenomenon, which _ includes eyewitness accounts by many millions of often credible observers for more than 60 years, yet has left virtually no physical trace evidence, all of it equivocal, and has been documented by only a handful of relatively convincing, however unsubstantiated, photographs? SF: Ted Phillips has collected more than 3,500 physical trace cases from more than 80 countries. Several crash recoveries have produced pieces of strange material: think Roswell, Aztec, Varginha, etc. There have been at least six large- scale scientific studies, which most people have not read. There have been many multiple-witness radar visual cases. Some pictures have passed muster with scientists like Dr Bruce Maccabee. There is a ton of evidence. many FJ: If you were given all the powers you desire to expose the UFO phenomenon on a worldwide basis, how would you go about it?

News people would be briefed. There's no point in doing this if one is not prepared for the consequences, which might include major planetary power shifts. FJ: A few researchers conclude that UFOs are thought-forms or mental projections conjured by aliens from their home world many light years away. This would explain why so many flying saucers are often seen to materialise and dematerialise; why they are noiseless, even while travelling at high speed, avoiding air friction, which invariably produces sound. As such, these vehicles have no difficulty travelling beyond the speed of light, because even our mainstream scientists admit that thought is faster. The aliens, according to this view, are very good at thought-forms—so much so that they can actually give them at least some degree of physicality at will, enough at least to create a fleeting radar blip or leave behind tinsel-like metal. Such an hypothesis is lent credence by so many abduction reports that consistently portray the experiencers willpower utterly dominated by the aliens’ thought processes and the occurrence of mental telepathy. How do you feel about this? SF: | think it ignores the best data, the radar visual cases, the is are FJ: Some testimony about the Roswell crash described the interior of its downed flying saucer as devoid of a propulsion system. If true, does such a characterisation suggest that the disc, and perhaps others like it, was entirely controlled and operated, not in and of itself but by some outside source? SF: | know of no reason to say there was no propulsion system. The Roswell debris field was a couple of miles from the wreckage of propulsion and other systems. It is not uncommon when aeroplanes go down or explode above ground to find wreckage miles away. FJ: If you could meet or communicate with the extraterrestrials, what would you tell hem?
