“In those same decades, most UFO sightings were made in the daytime and frequently at close range, when shapes and surface features could be distinguished, thus making positive identification of normal sights easier and the descriptions of unusual sights more detailed. When all normal explanations had been eliminated, the witnesses could concentrate on those aspects of the experience which were most abnormal.” MadeEasierShapesNormalAspectSightSurfaceDecadesWitnessRangeFeaturesExplanationDescriptionUnusualDistinguishedUfoIdentificationAbnormalDaytime Author:Don Berliner
“These abnormal aspects included the shapes of UFOs and their behavior. Most of the UFOs seen in the daytime were said to have had simple geometric shapes-discs, ovals, spheres, cylinders-and surfaces that looked like metal. Such shapes are not only nonexistent among known aircraft, but contrary to all known theories of flight, in most cases offering control and performance disadvantages rather than advantages.” SaidSimpleKnownCasesTheoryShapesBehaviorAdvantageAspectPerformancesSurfaceContraryFlightSpheresMetalsOfferingUfoDisadvantagesAbnormalAircraftDaytimeDiscsOvalGeometricCylindersGeometric Shapes Author:Don Berliner
