The UFO Trail
Written by

Research into UFOs these days is carried out by a vast network of groups and organisations, which are spread quite evenly around the globe, and who are all aiming for the same goal! That is, the answer to’ what it is that is being seen by thousands of people from each corner of the world, under a multiple of different circumstances? Yes you’ve got it; I am of course referring to the UFO Puzzle!

Now, the reason I found myself a part of the UFO puzzle some years back’ was when I had the occasion to view a very strange and large object. It was a huge red and orange coloured object that was approaching the ground fast. And just in case you thought that I was looking at a meteorite, this was the size of a house.

(For a further look at this sighting please go to my web site and read my article “ Just A Coincidence “

I run the Internet UFO e-zine “ Down To Earth “ and have been researching UFOs for over ten years. I have in this time, been in contact with numerous groups, researcher’s, and of course the general public. And the common thread which still seems to underlie, the reporting of UFOs to researcher’s like myself by the public is the “ I don’t want to sound crazy, but I think I saw a spaceship “ mentality! And I of course, reassure those people who do take the time and effort to, phone, e-mail, or write to me concerning such events, that they are not crazy.

You see, I personally think that part of the problem from the public’s perspective is two fold: One, they see ufologist’s as a group of anoraks, who get together and look at the sky with blinkered religion waiting for ET to land. Or they (the public) are in fact taken in by the media description of the UFO subject and it’s inevitable attachments (Heavens Gate cult etc.)

So what can we as ufologist’s do to make the public more aware and more understanding, of just what modern UFO research entails? I mean how often do you find yourself as a UFO researcher, reassuring people that they are not nuts, and that the world populous does in fact report these things (UFOs in many forms) again and again, year after year? For example, does the public know that, even more prevalent in research in to UFOs today, is the adding of Science to the investigation. Although science has been used in past cases, it is clearly being used more so today than it has ever been. And one must say, that there have been some cases, which have been revalidated, and new answers given, this mostly from science based research. We must get this message across to the public.

But of course science cannot answer everything. If this were the case, we would have no UFO puzzle today? Science is a tool for exploring the methods behind such amazing aerial displays. The physics behind such exotic behaviour often shown by UFOs can and is be theorised by many individuals.

So where does this leave us today (*us the UFO research community), regarding the ever-increasing reports of UFOs seen around the world? I can only speak for myself, as someone who has had many sightings and weird experiences within my years of UFO research. I can say, that the UFO puzzle is in fact still just that a huge puzzle, which over the last 40 or so years, has still yet to be fully pieced together. But today we do have a more sharp and refined professional take on the investigation of UFOs, and to this we can surely gain the answers we are seeking.

I would like to show my respect and appreciation to all those UFO researchers and investigators across the UK and the world, on committing their time and effort into unravelling and piecing together the huge UFO Puzzle!
