ASTRONOMER CALLS FOR MORE EFFORT IN "NEW SCIENCE" OF UFO RESEARCH
|
|
|
|
PENSACOLA, FL (JULY 7) UPI - The study of UFOs has been a taboo topic even
|
|
among those who study the paranormal, but an astronomer told participants at a
|
|
UFO symposium Saturday that a bigger effort must be made in the "new science."
|
|
|
|
"We are like aboriginies, and a Coke bottle falls out of the sky," said Brian
|
|
T. O'Leary, an astronomer and author about worldwide UFO sightings. "We don't
|
|
know what to make of it."
|
|
|
|
O'Leary, of Phoenix, Ariz., was among the speakers at the 21st annual Mutual
|
|
UFO Network symposium being held in northwest Florida through Sunday. The event
|
|
has attracted 700 people, from experts in the field to average people
|
|
interested in flying saucers and extraterrestrials.
|
|
|
|
Pensacola was chosen for the symposium because of more than 200 purported UFO
|
|
sightings in the area since 1987. The most infamous sighting was in November
|
|
1987 in nearby Gulf Breeze, when Ed Walters claimed he took pictures of UFOs
|
|
outside his home.
|
|
|
|
The Gulf Breeze sightings are among the topics to be discussed at the
|
|
symposium. Other topics range from an update on Alabama sightings to a
|
|
discussion about religion and UFOs.
|
|
|
|
O'Leary said he has been interested in the study of the universe since he was a
|
|
boy, and was a mainstream scientist until he had some psychic experiences,
|
|
including a near-death incident.
|
|
|
|
He said the 19th century gave the world its model of the universe, a world
|
|
where the atom was the smallest object and the universe had immutable laws. But
|
|
Albert Einstein and others found reality was different.
|
|
|
|
Over the years other areas of science have opened up, including the study of
|
|
mind over matter and the fields of parapsychology. But even experts in those
|
|
fields shun UFOs.
|
|
|
|
"UFO research is the black sheep of the black sheep of science," said O'Leary,
|
|
referring to researchers in the paranormal. "UFOs are a taboo subject."
|
|
|
|
O'Leary likened the mainstream's resistance to a grieving process. First there
|
|
is denial, then fear, then bargaining, and eventually acceptance. "Many haven't
|
|
gone beyond denying," he said.
|
|
He noted that the Cold War between the West and East has ended, and it is time
|
|
the world align itself as a species. He called for additional scientists to
|
|
study the "new science."
|
|
|
|
O'Leary said the new science sees individuals as part of a greater whole, to
|
|
the point where some see the earth as a living organism and people as cells of
|
|
that whole. He likened a single person to being a flea on an elephant.
|
|
|
|
He also showed a slide of the supposed UFO photographed by Walters in 1987. It
|
|
showed what appeared to be the bottom of the UFO, from which a portion of the
|
|
inside appeared. "Maybe even this is a living organism," he said.
