“Abstract: Careful review of a vast array of relevant evidence clearly leads to the conclusion that some unidentified flying objects are intelligently controlled vehicles whose origin is outside our solar system. All the arguments against the extraterrestrial origin seem to be based upon false reasoning, misrepresentation of evidence, neglect of relevant information, ignorance of relevant technology, or pseudo sophisticated assumptions about alien appearance, motivation, or government secrecy...” SeemsGovernmentMotivationTechnologyInformationObjectsIgnoranceEvidenceArgumentCarefulAppearanceFlyingConclusionAliensAbstractAssumptionReasoningNeglectControlledReviewsRelevantVehicleSophisticatedSecrecyUfoSolar SystemPseudoExtraterrestrialMisrepresentation Author:Stanton T.
