The first UFO report appeared in1June 24, 947. According to this report, Kenneth Arnold, a civil aviation pilot, was searching for an inexplicably missing plane near Rainier Valley in Washington when he suddenly found nine disc-shaped flying objects in the air, each with a diameter of about 30 meters, jumping forward at an ultra-high speed of 2,000 kilometers per hour, just like plates floating on the water. The reporter used the word "UFO" in his report. Since then, "UFO" and "UFO" have become synonymous with UFOs.
Because of the great influence of this incident, in order to find out the truth, in April 1950, Edward R. Murrow, a famous reporter from CBS, interviewed Arnold again. In the interview, Arnold said that the report that he saw a UFO in 1947 "did not quote me correctly. The newspaper exaggerated my words ... I said that these objects were ups and downs, like, ah, I think they are like boats drifting on the rough water. When I describe how they fly, I say that their flight is like throwing a plate on the water. Most newspapers misunderstood me and misquoted me. The newspaper said that I said these objects were like plates. I mean, they fly like plates. " Arnold said that he saw a series of nine objects, one of which gave off a "terrible blue flash". Arnold concluded that they were a new type of winged aircraft. At the end of the interview, Moro concluded: "The report of 1947 is a historic mistake. Mr Arnold's original description was forgotten, but' flying saucer' became a household word. "
Meteorologist MacDonald of Arizona and Heck of Northwestern University first linked UFOs with aliens. In the mid-1960s, they suggested that some flying saucers were spaceships used by aliens to visit the Earth. This view is very consistent with ordinary people's fantasy and curiosity, and immediately became a hot topic of news speculation, enduring.
For more than half a century, the media reported on UFOs more than 6,543,800 times. Now in the United States alone, there are more than 200 reports about UFOs or aliens every day, including about 654.38+00 reports about catching aliens or having direct contact with aliens. There are more in the world. These reports have very specific time, place, people and events, and many of them are accompanied by photos, recordings and interviews of witnesses. If we all believe these reports, there are too many aliens in our world. With China's gradual integration into the world family, there are more and more reports about flying saucers and aliens in China. Most books on the market are translated, compiled or rewritten by foreigners, and quite a few are "news" fabricated by foreign newspapers on April Fool's Day. Some of our writers don't know whether they are really stupid or really want to get rich, but they sell them to us as true stories. Most scientists admit that our present civilization is still a naive civilization, and there are still many mysteries about the universe, the earth and human beings that we don't understand, which is why we still need scientific research and scientists. But if we attribute all the things we don't know and don't understand to aliens and explain them by aliens, it is too far from science.
In a country with free press, any "news" can be produced for commercial purposes. Flying saucers and aliens are often hyped as news stories. For more than half a century, they have created huge profits for various newspapers, radio stations, television stations, film producers and publishers, and at the same time led a serious scientific problem to a completely different road from science.
So far, there is no serious scientific research institution or serious scientist (note that it is not a "scientist" with quotation marks) in the world who claims to have discovered aliens or alien spacecraft-flying saucers.
Carl sagan, the greatest contemporary scientist, popular science expert, chairman of the Planetary Science Society of the American Astronomical Society, chairman of the Planetary Research Society of the American Geophysical Society, chairman of the Planetary Society of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and founder of cosmic biology, specifically talked about the origin of various reports about aliens and flying saucers in his famous popular science book The Devil's Haunted World. He said: "We often struggle with the fragmented and boastful UFO legends. It is not difficult to understand: what can sell more newspapers and books? What can get more attention from people? What can make people feel more interesting? What can get us through this? Is it really the crashed alien spacecraft, or are those experienced swindlers cheating those fools out of their money? Is a powerful alien playing tricks on human beings, or is it someone's point of view based on human weaknesses and defects? "
On March 38, 2006+0/0, the CIA declassified 859 secret intelligence documents on a large scale for the first time. These secret documents, which span from 1947 to 199 1 year, contain various contents, but the most interesting thing is the CIA's research on UFO phenomenon from the late 1940s to the present. The research results of the CIA on UFO phenomenon for more than 50 years confirm that the UFO phenomenon in the early stage may be a conspiracy of the former Soviet government to create social chaos in the United States; The later UFO phenomenon was caused by the secret experiment of CIA top secret spy plane. In short, UFO has no evidence to show its existence!
On April 22nd, 20001,The Times reported that the British UFO department, which was founded in 1953 and had 1500 members in the world at its peak, could receive up to 30 UFO sightings every week. Due to fewer and fewer clues available for investigation, it has been cancelled recently. On the other hand, this shows that with the improvement of public scientific and technological quality, people pay less and less attention to UFO events, and more and more people no longer associate it with aliens, but look at it more from the perspective of natural science.
Sixth, scientific exploration.
As a part of exploring the mysteries of the universe, scientists are also actively exploring life outside the earth and actively searching for information about whether there are aliens. This scientific exploration began as early as the 1950s.
From 65438 to 0959, Cocconi and Morrison wrote an article which was published in the famous British magazine Nature. According to their calculations, if intelligent life exists in other parts of the universe, and their scientific level is equivalent to our 1959 level. Then, they should be able to receive radio signals from people on earth. Similarly, if they want to send us a radio signal, we can also receive it. Although the distance is extremely far, a word will be spoken for thousands or hundreds of years, but after all, it is possible to communicate. The two of them also studied the optimal wavelength of interplanetary radio wave communication, which is 2 1 cm wavelength of hydrogen atom. Because hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, and its wavelength of 2 1 cm is also easy to be detected.
This article greatly stimulated people's enthusiasm for exploring extraterrestrial civilization and enhanced people's confidence. Because it tells us that as long as there are aliens, as long as their technological level is similar to ours, we can communicate with each other. This article is the beginning of scientific exploration of aliens.
Humans have lived on the earth for about two or three million years. Once upon a time, human beings thought that they were the spirit of all things, the only intelligent life in the universe, and even thought that the earth was the center of the whole universe. Later, with the progress of science and technology, people's eyes were broadened, and they realized that the vastness of the universe was far beyond our imagination, and the earth was really too small, and of course it was not the center of the universe. So people imagine that the universe is so vast that there may be an intelligent creature similar to human beings-aliens on other planets. This idea has deeply attracted some people who are keen on finding aliens.
/kloc-in the 6th century, when someone observed Mars with a telescope, they found many staggered meshes, so they thought it was a "canal" dug by "Mars entering". 1935, an American radio station announced that Martians had come to earth, which caused a false alarm. And an English writer created a science fiction novel called "War on Martians", which made many vivid descriptions of Martians and even triggered the birth of a series of novels and movies about Martians.
Are there Martians or not? In the era when there were only telescopes, it was always a mystery. In the 1960s, the spacecraft finally landed on Mars, which solved the mystery that has been puzzling people all the time: Mars is much colder than the earth, its surface is covered with mud and stones, and there are often strong winds, flying sand and stones, and there are no creatures on it, and of course there are no Martians.
After this mystery was solved, astronomers further analyzed that in the solar system, no other planet except the earth has the necessary environmental conditions for biological survival. Therefore, humans on earth are the only intelligent creatures in the solar system. To find aliens, we must go beyond the solar system.
1972, the United States launched the "Pioneer 10" spacecraft and flew out of the solar system on 1987. The metal sheet on the spaceship depicts the image of human beings, the earth where human beings live and the position of the solar system (see the right). 1977, the American navigator 1 brought more information to the outside world, including a sturdy record player and a gold-plated record, which contained dozens of human languages and many musical works (including China's ancient songs). Eager for aliens to receive it.
In order to get in touch with aliens, scientists even made huge and complicated equipment, trying to send information to aliens and receive information from them. However, after many efforts, people still haven't found aliens. Some stories about seeing aliens are just legends, which are difficult to be strongly confirmed.
It is also worth mentioning that there are flying saucers. Many people have seen it. I guess it's a spaceship driven by aliens, but it's just a guess.
So, are there aliens? Scientists have analyzed that there must be many planets like the earth in the universe, and some planets similar to the earth's environment are likely to have aliens. However, as our space and communication technologies are not developed enough, we must redouble our efforts to find them.
Someone saw it from the window at Guangzhou Port Technical School 10: 45 in the evening-the dormitory was on the fifth floor, and a flying saucer flew from the sixth floor. People on both floors can testify. When I picked up my glasses, I only saw a light point (it should be a light beam) fluctuating up and down at a speed I had never seen before and shooting at our dormitory. It's high and far. At that time, it took less than 1 minute from hearing someone shouting to seeing it with your own eyes. When I picked up my glasses, I was just lucky enough to see them. Then in the blink of an eye, which light spot crossed the roof of the dormitory. The whole process is only 1 minute (the time I feel).
In the solar system, no other planet except the earth has the necessary environmental conditions for biological survival. Therefore, humans on earth are the only intelligent creatures in the solar system. To find aliens, we must go beyond the solar system.
