UFO's and Defense What Should we Prepare For

I
I From the year one thousand to the year 1500, chroniclers mentioned various sightings
ofluminous spheres, wheels, lances, or bars moving more-or-less rapidly in the sky. The
monastery at Detchani, built in Yugoslavia between 1327 and 1335, is decorated with
I frescoes that represent angels enclosed in sorts of vessels flying in the sky.
(Even further back in time), during the reign of Charlemagne, it is reported that
Agobard, Bishop of Lyons, succeeded in saving from the stake three men and one woman
I who had descended from an airship, claiming to be returning to earth after having been
kidnapped by celestial beings who allegedly showed them wonders.
Elsewhere, luminous celestial phenomena similar to modern UFOs seem to have been
I relatively frequent in China and Japan, particularly in the Middle Ages.
Several other Latins, Dion Cassius, Pliny the Elder, Titus Livy, Julius Obsequens, and
I
even Cicero relate the appearance oflights in the sky, glowing shields, multiple moons and
suns, [and] golden flying spheres.
As for the _testimonies reported by the Greek chroniclers, these are fewer in number. •

Daimachos recounts that a globe offire crossed the sky several times during the 78th
Olympiad. Anaxagoras asserts that he saw celestial lights the size ofa large beam.
Appearances ofbeams and shields offire are described several times, by Homer among
others.
I Appendix 7 - Reflections on Various Psychological, Sociological, and Political
Aspects of the UFO Phenomenon
I Note: these reflections apply primarily to the United States; many ofthem, however,
can be transposed to other countries
A large number of Americans are convinced of the physical reality of UFOs, of their
I extraterrestrial origin, and of the fact that the U.S. government is systematically covering
I up the truth with lies and disinformation.
Most of the recent American works that have been published on the subject end with
this conclusion, and almost all of them close with a demand for a partial or full lifting of
I the alleged secrecy. The media frenzy surrounding the Roswell affair (cf Appendix 5),
which experienced a resurgence at the end ofthe 70s after a more than thirty-year
blackout, and which has not ceased to go from new development to new development for
I 15 years, is a typical illustration of this line of thought. By admitting that the
extraterrestrial hypothesis is the good one, the secret, say some, would be kept out of
fear of panic reactions, which, they assure, would not fail to occur, as demonstrated by the
I unfortunate experience of the radio program "The War ofthe Worlds" broadcast by
Orson Welles in the United States in 1938 (only nine years prior to Roswell). This
explanation should not necessarily be rejected; however, it does seem a bit narrow. In
I fact, the roots of the matter probably go deeper, and the sociopsychological motivations
seem to be more complex.
7.1 The UFO Paradox
I While a majority of Americans seem to support the idea of the existence of intelligent
I extraterrestrial [beings], a very strong resistance remains in scientific circles, among
leaders, and in most of the media to the idea that these entities, whatever they may be,
have been able to or continue to visit our planet and travel our solar system.
The idea is ridiculed by much of the media. At the same time, in this spirit, most
