plasmas.' The development of lightweight, compact, high-field superconducting
magnets has also led to much work on the potential benefits to be derived from
placing a magnet within a high-speed vehicle to interact with a plasma around
the vehicle. Such a combination might be used to reduce vehicle heating, control
aerodynamic drag, exert control forces on the vehicle, provide power for its
operation, open a "magnetic" communications window, and change the vehicle
radar profile. In addition, the magnets might be used to provide shielding against
space radiation. Numerous reports cover such applications.13-17
A review of this literature and an extrapolation of exsiting technology suggest
that with considerable effort an entirely new EM approach to hypersonic flight
might be developed which, in many respects, could duplicate UFO characteristics.
In turn, this leads to the notion that observed UFO behavior is not so unreason-
able as might at first appear to be the case. The measurement of EM parameters
of UFOs could well provide information on both UFO characteristics and new
propulsion.
