Dr. BAKER.
Fine,
thank
you,
Mr.
Roush.
I
should
like
to preface
my
remarks
by
stating
my
preference
for the
term
"anomalistic
observational
phenomena,"
as
opposed
to
the
term
"unidentified flying
objects."
Mr.
RousH.
I
observed
you
were going
to
say
that
and
I
wonder
about
some
of
my
Hoosiers
back
home
using those terms.
Dr. BAKER.
It
comes
trippingly
off
the tongue.
Mr.
RousH.
It
might
not
only cause
some
Hoosiers but
some
laymen
some
problems. It
might
be
easier
to say
UFO's.
You may
go
-ahead.
Dr. BAKER.
I
call
it
AOP.
From
the data that
I
have
reviewed
and
analyzed
since
1954,
it
is
my
belief
that there
does
exist
substantial
evidence to
support
the
claim that
an
unexplained
phenomenon—or phenomena—is
present in
the environs
of the
earth,
but that
it
may
not be
"flying,"
may
not
always be
"unidentified,"
and,
perhaps,
may
not even be
substantive"objects."
In
the following statement
I
will—
(1)
Present
a
summary
of the
analyses
that
I
have accom-
plished to
date—those
that
have
led
me
to
believe
that anomalistic
phenomena
exist;
(2)
Explain
the probable inadequacy of our
current
terrestrial
sensors in observing
and/or
defining the
characteristics
of theanomalistic
phenomena;
(3)
Suggest a number
of
tentative hypothetical sources for the
phenomena, and
the
justification
for
their
scientific
study;
(4) And,
finally,
I
will
make
specific
recommendations con-
cerning the
necessity
for
new
types of
closely related observational
and study programs which might be implemented
in
a fashion
that would permit the
detection
and
quantitative analysis
of the
anomalistic
phenomena.
