Physical Analyses in Ten Cases of Unexplained Aerial Objects with Material Samples
Jacques F. Vallee, 1550 California St. #6L, San Francisco, CA 94109
A survey of ten cases of unexplained aerial phenomena accompanied by
material residues shows a broad distribution of natural elements, many
of which are metallic in nature. They can be roughly described as belonging
in two categories: "light materials" of high conductivity such as aluminum,
and "slag-like materials" reminiscent of industrial byproducts. Most
of the cases under consideration strive to meet four criteria: 1) the
literature gives sufficient ground to support the fact that an unusual
aerial phenomenon occurred, 2) the circumstances of the actual recovery
of the specimen are reported, 3) there is data to suggest that the specimen
is in fact linked to the observed aerial object, and 4) physical analysis
has been performed by a competent laboratory of known reliability. In
several instances the sample is available for continuing study by independent
scientists. In the absence of a firm chain of evidence and of professional
field investigation, most cases cannot lead to a definite conclusion
about the nature of the phenomena that gave rise to each specimen, but
much can be learned from the methodology involved in such analysis.
Furthermore, compilation of similar cases on an expanded basis may eventually
lead to the discovery of underlying patterns.
