Aerial Phenomena: Reviving Ufology for the 21st Century

51K5DhQzgnL._SY300_

Antonio Paris recently published Aerial Phenomena: Reviving Ufology for the 21st Century. In his opinion, Antonio believes evidence of extraterrestrial life remains elusive as ever. The lack of physical and scientific proof, beyond a reasonable doubt, has pushed UFOs to be regarded along with Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, the chupacabra, and leprechauns: subjects nestled together in the occult section of your local bookstore or library. This unfortunate occurrence, according to Antonio, is a direct result of a once-worthy subject that was hijacked by a convergence of armchair UFO investigators, conspiracy theorists, hoaxers, and people publishing cheesy photos and videos of alleged extraterrestrials or flying saucers. In hopes of reviving Ufology, therefore, Antonio founded the Aerial Phenomenon Investigations Team to investigate UFO phenomena from a nuts and bolts perspective. His book, in its strictest sense, provides the reader insight into API’s UFO investigative process, synopses of 50 UFO investigations completed by API, an analysis of UFO phenomena, and his vision for reviving Ufology. The book, moreover, provides future investigators a guide on the tools and processes needed to conduct a proper investigation into the phenomena.

Book will be available on Amazon on August 1st, 2013.

Synopsis: The witness of this investigation saw and took a photo of a strange black object in the sky. According to the witness, the object appeared like a balloon.

Evidence Submitted: Photo

Initial Action: Case opened as an AN1.

Investigation and Findings: API identified the object as a man-made “solar hot air balloon”. These mini hot air balloons are made from trash bags and heated by the sun. Once airborne, the object will float with the wind until sunset or sunlight is obscured by clouds. These objects, moreover, can travel a long distance and are often reported as “black UFOs.”

Object Details: Man-made object.

Synopsis: On 10 Jan 13, at 0800, witness was driving near Arizona City, AZ when he noticed a strange object in the horizon. The witness then used a camera to take a photo of an object that appeared in the shape of a classic “flying saucer”.

Evidence Submitted: Photo

Initial Action: Case opened as an AN1.

Investigation and Findings:  Investigation complete. There was no indication on anything in this case but a perfect example of a lenticular cloud formation. There were no other objects or odd cloud sightings reported by UFO reporting databases from others in that area during that time frame. The “metallic” appearance mentioned by the WITNESS actually appears to just be the sun glinting off the cloud prominently. With no other evidence to the contrary, Investigator is confident closing this case as “Solved: Identified as classic lenticular cloud formation.”

Object Details: A lenticular cloud.

UFO Report: I was young about 8, I went to find friends to play, no one was to be found so I went to field adjacent to friends house. I heard a sound like a high powered turbines kicking down. I ran to clearing near road and seen two fighter jets in what looked like war games, in which was not abnormal seeing that an Air Force base was 20 miles away and remember the adults in the area after the fact complaining that jets were breaking house windows. But back to point. I seen these jets in combative maneuver shooting down a dashing silver object and went out of control at blinding speed fallow by what I thought was an explosion that knocked me back about  20ft. When I awoke probably a few hours later I heard a low fan sound that to my surprise was Big Cargo planes 3. Two we’re sky blue with solid white star in the middle and one blackish green flying in to the woods. Shortly after a High canvas troop transport rolling in the same direction. My father at the time had a bar that was in direct sight of the direction that this craft went down. I went to the bar and asked him if he seen the thing that went down, and he replied to me “I didn’t see anything and neither did you… You forget about it…”
