Hi Storm,
For you and anyone else who's interested:
Paul Hill really was a brilliant guy. You can still buy his book at Amazon. It has 23 reviews, 22 of them are 5 star reviews (and the remaining one is a 4 star), so I’m not the only one who thinks his book is brilliant.
His book shows that ufology
can be a science. Many elements of the RFI are recognizable in Hill’s book as common features of UFO encounters.
Paul Hill tried to find an explanation for UFO propulsion that simply fits the witness observations – as any scientist should do. His approach is very thorough: He takes every known physical particle and every known physical force and tries to find out if a propulsion system that uses a particular particle or field would fit the available data. In this process every possibility is eliminated but one: A repulsive force field that acts on mass. If this technology would be available to possible extra-terrestrials, it would explain:
1. Ultra-fast accelerations (so fast that a craft can seem to disappear in front of your eyes)
2. Ultra tight curves (that are basically the same as ultra-fast accelerations)
3. Without crushing possible occupants (in fact they feel no acceleration forces at all ..)
4. Without a sonic boom
5. Without burning up due to air friction
BUT Paul does not stop there. He recognizes that a possible theory of their propulsion system also needs to explain two common phenomena of UFO sightings:
1. Radiation with an energy between 25 eV and 3 million eV (see my previous post). This radiation typically has the effect of heating the soil beneath a hovering UFO without leaving residual radioactive radiation. This phenomenon is also observed by Halt and his men on the Halt tape.
2. (Very) high electric fields. This is also observed in the RFI: Malfunctioning radio’s, vehicles, light-alls and the definite feeling of static electricity in the air.
The combination of ionizing radiation and high electric fields would produce a glowing “halo” around a UFO. The color and intensity of this halo (which basically is a glowing plasma) varies and probably is connected to the amount of energy that the propulsion system needs to produce. This plasma “shell”, if very intense, would make the actual craft hardly visible. This may be the reason why John just saw lights that seemed to project an image of a craft. The plasma shell is responsible for the fact that a UFO seen at night looks like a glowing ball of light, while a UFO seen in daylight seems to have a fuzzy outline.
At the end of his book, Paul Hill speculates about physical reactions that would produce a repulsive force that acts on mass, and produces X-rays plus high electric fields as a by-product. He finds one in the physics literature, but is already at the fuzzy borders of our physical knowledge at that point (and admits to that).
You may find it surprising, but gravity is one of the least understood forces of nature and a possible intelligence that is a million years or more ahead of us would certainly have a better understanding of it and may even be able to manipulate it.
There are many more aspects of UFO’s. Most of them are not understood, such as the strange, strongly delineated lighting effects like the beam that Halt saw.
What frustrates me is the fact that UFO’s are a taboo in science and because of that we hardly made any progress since Paul Hill finished his book around 1975. Maybe, in 2020 or so, the science taboo on UFO’s will finally have disappeared. Hopefully scientists will still know Hill’s book by then. His analysis of the data is not speculative at all, he does the math (and is good at it).
Buy this book! Do it before this "lighting beacon in the dark forest of ufology" is out of print and we are in the Dark Ages of ufology again!

Well, John, I'm just trying to contribute my share and keep a constructive discussion going. If that is not the intention of this forum I may be on the wrong forum.
