I'm going to have to ask for provide evidence of experiments and testing he has done in the form of a peer-reviewed paper in a reputable journal. There are many people these days calling themselves "scientists" who have never done any work, interviewing people and speculating is not science.
Do you have any evidence that such things exist or is this more speculation?
Anecdotal evidence often contradictory or conflicting with nothing but the persons say so. Why has no UFO or alien ever been caught in a crowded street with CCTV? Why is it always blury smudges on photos or abductions at night in the middle of nowhere?
There are far more people in the world who report seeing/feeling God, that doesn't mean such a thing exists
I once studied UFOs, investigated abductees, read hundreds of books about it. But I left the field as tactical retreat because I realized we are dealing with an intelligence that is more than extra-terrestrials. They are made of energy that is beyond the Standard Model. And they can interface with the brain and mess up one's sanity. So to avoid insanity. I just left it and ceased all contacts with all abductees. If I shared any detail. You'd just tell me it's anecdotes. One must walk the walk and be in the field and experience them. And this forum is not to entertain possibilities but to debunk them at will (because people here already concluded they were not real).
The reason UFOs were not caught in crowded street with CCTV or images blurry is because they can scan 1 mile perimeter for any monitoring device and avoid them. They are more effectively if they are clandestine. This is because they are not your typical alien, and it's useless to appear at the backyard of the white house.
About scientists putting paper in peer-review journals. Who will be the peers to review them since all of you physicists rejected already any investigation or study of UFOs and also concluded they were all hoaxes. About Jacques. Jacques Vallee is a reputable scientist. There are many others. But unfortunately, there are not a whole lot. The reason is because physics is a compartmentalized field. For example. Brian Cox and Lisa Randall work at Particle Accelerators. Witten at the Center for Advanced Studies. They focus on their area of expertise and the institution limit their reach to other fields. Physics community are like a flock of birds. They dwell on popular topics and rejects anything outside of the circle. They outcast members who are outside. This is why those scientists left to study UFOs are those who were rejected from institutions. This means they don't have support from you guys because you only support those working at Large Hadron Collider for instantce. Let's take the case of Stanton Friedman. His biography is:
"Nuclear Physicist-Lecturer Stanton T. Friedman received his BSc. and MSc. Degrees in physics from the University of Chicago in 1955 and 1956. He was employed for 14 years as a nuclear physicist by such companies as GE, GM, Westinghouse, TRW Systems, Aerojet General Nucleonics, and McDonnell Douglas working in such highly advanced, classified, eventually canceled programs as nuclear aircraft, fission and fusion rockets, and various compact nuclear powerplants for space and terrestrial applications."
Then he went to study UFOs and was immediately treated as outcast by the physics community. This is because the physics community only look for phenomena that is supported by the Standard Model and some extra like Higgs, Supersymmetry, changing neutrino. This is all they want to look for. They narrow their views on them only. When thousands report UFOs. They treat them as nuts because it is not in the Standard Model.
Now physicists are struggling on the unification. Lee Smolin said there is zero experimental support on string theory. Physicists don't even know what form the M-theory may take or what is its fundamental principle. See his book "Trouble with Physics" for the details.
You know what. UFOs may offer clue to what form the final unification may take. Superstring research discovered not just new exotic stuff like strings and brane. What if there are others. That is. What if UFOs are made up of brane-like stuff or other exotic ingredients beyond the Standard Model??! (clue, clue)
It is possible that physicists would only understand UFOs after M-theory is formulated. But without any guiding principles or any clues, How can they fortulate them in the first place? What if they miss M-theory? Then physics will continue to reject UFOs for the next 200 years.
