Natural Science Forum / Physics / General Physics / July 2008UFOs and Plasmas
A long, long time ago when UFOs were often in the news I remember reading that a reasonable explanations was many sightings were of plasmas. I suspect that's true, but has anyone developed these ideas further? > A long, long time ago when UFOs were often in the news I remember reading > that a reasonable explanations was many sightings were of plasmas.

Yeah - UFOs are fueled by ceruloplasmin and butterfat, http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/bovine.htm  SignatureUncle Al http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/ (Toxic URL!

Given the non-linear electrical properties of air (notably conductivity), it is possible for an electrostatically charged mass of air to be 'self-limiting' in a limited way, such that ionized air is confined by the non-conductivity of the non-ionized air which surrounds it. The detailed explanation lies in plasma physics and requires an understanding of non-linear differential equations. > the > most reasonable explanation is that ufos are lies and hoaxes ...or simply mis-identifications of natural phenomena by people too ignorant, stupid, or drunk to realize what they are looking at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7489457.stm Tom Davidson Richmond, VA On Jul 5, 9:08 pm, raam...@gmail.com wrote: > On Jul 5, 6:10 pm, "W. eWatson" <notval...@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > what the hell's 'plasma' ?

" This wouldn't mean much to an American unless he related it to a baggage buggy at the airport, where a fee is paid to obtain the cart and a refund obtained when it is returned. In Britain the buggies are chained together and rather than pay someone to round them up in the grocery store's parking lot the customer is expected to return them and is rewarded by getting his pound back. Move 'em on, head 'em up, Head 'em up, move 'em out, Move 'em on, head 'em out Rawhide! Set 'em out, ride 'em in Ride 'em in, let 'em out, Cut 'em out, ride 'em in Rawhide. They are chromium plated steel these days, not rawhide, but they are still for meat shopping.

See: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/7489457.stm Einstein asks if the moon is there when not observed. Maybe there is a moon for each person and sometimes the moon can just move elsewhere in the sky. noke > Maybe there is a moon for each person and sometimes > the moon can just move elsewhere in the sky. Every person does have thier own moon, want to see mine. LOL sorry could not resist. :) SignatureJames M Driscoll Jr Spaceman > A long, long time ago when UFOs were often in the news I remember > reading that a reasonable explanations was many sightings were of > plasmas. I suspect that's true, but has anyone developed these ideas > further? Apparently, there's no one with something longer than a 10' pole on this subject. Some more Googling turned up the leading proponent of plasmas as good explanations of many UFO sightings. Philip Julian Klass. He died in 2005. There's a Wikipedia entry for him. > A long, long time ago when UFOs were often in the news I remember reading > that a reasonable explanations was many sightings were of plasmas. I suspect > that's true, but has anyone developed these ideas further? Sorry bunky, but UFOs is an "off limits' topic in science in general and in this newsgroup in particular! Any attempt to hold an intelligent discussion on the subject will be met by a frontal debunking attack in which you will be ridiculed, the idea that UFOs might exist (no matter what they might be) will be made fun of, and your mental state will be evaluated as insane by a number of people with no credentials in psychiatry, psychology or mental health. In short shut up and let us sweep this topic under the rug. Discussion of it is NOT permitted! |
