Estimates of Optical Power Output in Six Cases of Unexplained Aerial Objects with Defined Luminosity Characteristics
Jacques F. Vallee, 1550 California St. #6L, San Francisco, CA 94109
An analysis of six cases of unexplained aerial phenomena observed by
qualified observers over a twenty-year period in various parts of the
Earth and in known physical conditions yields estimates of optical power
output ranging from a few kilowatts to thousands of megawatts. This
paper surveys the methods by which this parameter can be derived from
witnesses' statements, it discusses the various hypotheses one could
propose to account for the observations and it calls for a broad re-examination
of sighting files in an effort to apply this methodology to a larger
sample and to better understand the luminosity characteristics of the
reported objects.
