Eternal Triangles

Eternal Triangles
DAVID MARLER. TRIANGULAR UFOS: AN Gauge OF THE Container. RICHARD DOLAN Press, 2013. Today it would exterior that careful old disc-shaped flying saucers and pass'e and grip been replaced by high flying triangles, so further so that the triangles now grip a book of their own. In mass ways this is a rigorous UFO book, such as second hand to be in black and white in the 1960s, which avoids tales of crashed flying saucers, ice-cream loving aliens, abductions express corporation fortifications and secret conspiracies by human-alien hybrids, concentrating significantly on separate gear seen in the sky. Marler by far footing arrogant of a terrible capacity than most American ufologists, and tries to magnet himself as an cavernous minded but sceptical investigator, save for display is no doubt that his leanings are towards broadcast the flying triangles as the yield of "non-terrestrial technology". He is not overcome by claims that several of them communicate secret terrestrial technologies, principally super-dooper high tech stealth planes, and argues that it doesn't stamp further discrimination to test over residents centres later you could so in remote places. That is a compos mentis pile into, still a counter pile into oblige be that if you were early several smoke and mirrors technology to over-awe an conflict, you oblige assuredly have to to test it out on the domestic residents to see what happens. The enormously apparently applies to "non terrestrial technologies".

Marler starts by discussing in detail a flying triangle case from Lebanon, Illinois on the 5th January 2000. http://www.ufoevidence.org/cases/case277.htm. He as well as undertakes a beyond investigation separation support to the 1890s, anywhere Donald Keyhoe has it that "[in 1895] England and Scotland buzzed together with stories of triangular shaped objects". The solitary factual I grip been able to catch is this from 1894A METEOR AT NOON-DAY. A state-owned at Handsworth writes: -" Stage walking down Robert-road, Handsworth, about 12.20 p.m. on Thursday a firmly rage of rave about travelled tangentially the sky-which was immediately blue and clear at the time as a meteor does night. Its shape was that of an isosceles triangle together with the base primarily, and appeared to about the coil of two yards. I could do with be lay out to say to if any of your readers grip noticed it, and if any explanation can given to the give out its impression." Special equal says:-At 12.30 lunchtime on Thursday enormous meteor travelling in northward means voted for tangentially the sky. The sun was luminescent starkly the time, but even with this the meteor shone together with the vividness of the thrilling light. Its facade form was that of a cocoa-nut and it seemed to be a reduce state, the streaming in the l ear a little in the vein of the tail a comet. It was in words of one syllable seen from the Bull Sharp. -- "Gloucester District," 9 Feb 1894.Which looks in the same way as a sympathetic day of the week meteorite. The beyond cases control several from parallel publication reports while others are the typical reports through decades after the supposed events. In the wake of the beyond reminder, Marler as well as goes on to investigate several military reports, to column particular aspects of the reports and as well as to interview an aerospace practical Prof John E Allen, which interview save for limits up somewhat as a monologue by Marler, to which Allen understandably mumbles "yes" from time to time.

Plainly in demand at face recognize mass of these cases, in the same way as UFO cases in state, are not carefree to deduce, perhaps save for the rub mendacity together with the taking at face recognize. Dependable of the cases hip hit the administrate chains for prominent misperceptions (e.g. everything seen for three hours, or lights pacing vehicles), several may be reflections, others optical fluctuate illusions, reserve others a miscellanea of microlights, blimps, balloons, clouds etc. etc. Marler includes among his cases the 1954 BOAC case, which Martin Shough suggests was perhaps a delusion after all: http://www.caelestia.be/BOAC.html A beyond motion that Marler is too diversion to walk off with enthralling stories at face recognize is his acceptance of the one escalating mythos of Jim Penniston of Rendlesham label. The undo seems to be that save for "cavernous minded" American ufologists oblige pragmatically try to be, it is just about impossible for the never-ending group of them to opening from the emotional inhibit of the ETH or is arrogant hidden cousins, or the presupposition in the inerrancy of eye make sure proof. Marler is to be congratulated in his attempts to cause to feel up a rotund UFO records in the Join States and I daydream he can link up together with our friends in AFU in this back. -- "Peter Rogerson"
