While the Pascagoula case seems to be a pretty solid one I do not believe the later sightings reported by Charles Hickson. I think everything learnt about him points to the fact that he suffered post traumatic stress at a time when that was not even something people (especially Ufologists) understood/ The drinking problem and other factors I strongly believe support PTSD as a diagnosis.

After all, what Hickson and Parker experienced (if true ) is something that they believed could not be and it shattered their world view for life.  On board percipients have never been fairly treated by Ufology.

Five Books Exploring True Alien Encounters

 Although there are some classic cases in these books the majority involve cases that are very rare, have never appeared in English before and unlike most "clump everything together to fill a book" efforts these look at aspects of cases as well as some very common but not reported on before entity and scenario types.

Someone who has been involved in Ufology since the 1980s noted: "Over half these cases I have never heard of before!"

Since 1947 it has been claimed that UFOs/flying saucers are evidence of aliens visiting the Earth.  Since the 1950s claims of encounters with landed craft and alien beings were talked about but not taken seriously.

In the 1960s the subject of UFO abduction was a "slow-burner" until the whole "Grey" abduction phenomenon and claims made by researchers such as Budd Hopkins, Prof. John Mack and Dr David Jacobs and Whitley Streiber.

But is there evidence to back up any of the claims -and what about those encountering Alien Entities but who were not abducted?

Are these people all hoaxers, psychotic or suffering from some other mental illness as some claim?

Are those people who were exposed by Ufologists against their wishes, people who wanted to report what happened and then just get back to their everyday lives -thrust into the media glare against their will?

And if US authorities were so interested that in one case at least they broke into the home of two abductees and this was later proven -why?

Why did a hard core of these people never want publicity or to make money from what happened to them?

Above all, why did a major UFO landing incident take place on a US Inbterstate road in front of a large number of observers (all willing to talk to investigators) never get investigated? If it were not for a radio presenter interviewing and taking notes we would know nothing of the case -it would be labelled "insubstantial".

James and Coral Lorenzen -the Scopolamine Kids; using a very notorious "truth drug" on alleged UFO witnesses and selling stories to newspapers.  An investigator (a veteran) showing a witness images of "aliens" encountered in other cases before any memories were retrieved.  Worst of all, the constant "pissing competition" and breaches of trust between UFO investigators.

Fully illustrated with drawings, maps and photographs some very rare or previously unpublished.

Praised by Dr Mark Rodheiger of the Centre for UFO Studies and, below, John Hanson of the Haunted Skies Project and Colonel Charles Halt the officer involved in the Rendlesham incident.

The Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) says that we may have to wait many thousands of years before any signals sent gets a response if they are detected.

The real SETI may already have established the there is alien life –and it has been visiting Earth for at least 70 years.

Once the mass of reports of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and entity encounters are sifted there remains a strong core of cases that defy logical explanation and suggest that these encounters have resulted in physiological effects and post traumatic stress.

Terry Hooper-Scharf of the CE3K/AE Project has led research into these reports for over 40 years and in this work takes a look at rare or obscure reports as well as cataloguing encounters from Germany and Portugal and focuses in on correlations in the reports and how the Dandenong (Kelly Cahill) encounter could be the best case ever reported.

Have the serious investigators and researchers looking into UFOs been unearthing better evidence of extra terrestrial life and contact with humans than established SETI ?

There have been many claims of UFO landings and encounters with alien entities since 1947 and while some such as that of Betty and Barney Hill and Travis Walton may be well known they were not the first and certainly not the best incidents. Encounter claims are a world wide phenomenon and not confined to the United States. After 50 years of the CE3K/Alien Entity Study, For this fifth book looking at CE3K/AE reports Terry Hooper has chosen some of the best and least known reports as well as some that might be known but adding much detail; Aveley, Ewloe, Kingfield and others deserve to be better known as does the case of Elsie Oakensen, Bronte Lloyd, Chapters include:

The Buckfastleigh Case -The Search Continues

 Every-so-often I put out an appeal regarding the Buckfastleigh case because, as noted, it was messed up by the UFO group involved. Never having spoken to the female (possible) percipient they told me that her nervous breakdown had "nothing to do with the sighting" -how did they know?  How did the two boys fare?   

I have since come across at least two possible "abduction" cases from the same small town and slightly further afield there are two likely "abduction" incidents but each of the women involved thought no more of the incidents (despite a joke by one's husband) and have gotten on with their lives. 

I would never consider opening up a whole life of trauma for them just to get details. I have not broached the subject of hypnosis with one likely percipient as he, too, has gotten on with his life despite still knowing there was a chunk of missing time. 

Something was obviously going on in a small (quite small) area of Devon in 1978-1979 and despite what you might read these two years were peak CE3K/AE activity years. All of those involved at the time were teenagers with no knowledge of UFOs -the world was a lot different before the internet. To give details that only someone who has studied cases would really know in one cause would be interesting. In two cases that is coincidence but more than three cases -and in the other two where those involved only joked about being abducted as they had no recall of such an experience it goes beyond coincidence. 

Ufologists and Ufology failed the possible percipients and we lost their full accounts. The main adult witness to the UFOs themselves  would have been interesting to talk to but he was far from young 47 years ago. 

I suspect that like many more that Ufologists would not investigate through prejudices we will never know the true story of what happened that night.

It may well just be coincidence but I translate and post these accounts and a few weeks later they appear as videos on this channel. I've even been asked  "What else is planned for future videos?" And I have to explain that I have NOTHING to do with the YT channel!

How artificial intelligence is helping scientists hunt for alien Earths

A machine-learning algorithm trained on synthetic planetary systems has been let loose — and in the process has identified nearly four dozen real stars that have a high probability of hosting a rocky planet in their habitable zone.

"The model identified 44 systems that are highly likely to harbor undetected Earth-like planets," said Jeanne Davoult, an astronomer at the German Aerospace Agency DLR, in a statement. "A further study confirmed the theoretical possibility for these systems to host an Earth-like planet."

Often, "Earth-like" worlds — Earth-like in the sense that they have a similar mass to our planet and reside in their star's habitable zone — are found by chance, often in huge surveys that watch thousands of stars for transiting planets. However, astronomers would like to even the odds of finding Earth-size habitable-zone planets, and hence require a more targeted means of finding candidate stars.

This is what led Davoult to develop the algorithm while she was at the University of Bern in Switzerland. Like all models based on machine-learning algorithms that learn to identify patterns and make predictions based on where the algorithm sees those patterns, it had to be trained on data. The problem, however, is that although nearly 6,000 exoplanets have been discovered so far, the information that we have on these worlds is patchy. And in general, even 6,000 worlds is not enough to train the algorithm.

So, Davoult and her colleagues at the University of Bern, Romain Eltschinger and Yann Alibert, turned to another model that is able to simulate worlds based on everything we know about planetary systems. The Bern Model of Planet Formation and Evolution has been in continuous development at the University of Bern since 2003, and is constantly undergoing improvements as more data and theoretical models become available.

"The Bern Model can be used to make statements about how planets were formed, how they evolved and which types of planets develop under certain conditions in a protoplanetary disk," Alibert said in the statement. "The Bern Model is one of the only models worldwide that offers such a wealth of interrelated physical processes and enables a study like the current one to be carried out."

The Bern Model spat out 53,882 simulated planetary systems around three different types of stars: G-type stars like our sun, red dwarfs with about half the mass of the sun, and a second group of red dwarfs with just a fifth of a solar mass.

The algorithm set about searching these simulated planetary systems for patterns or correlations, connecting the presence or absence of an Earth-size habitable-zone planet with various architectures of the planetary systems.

Some correlations are more evident than others. For example, there's a correlation between the existence of an inner rocky planet co-inhabiting a system with an outer gas giant. This is the same architecture that our solar system has, with the rocky planets closer to the sun than the gas giants.

On the flip-side, there's an anti-correlation between hot Jupiters, which are gas giants close to their sun, and "peas-in-a-pod" planets, which are strings of rocky planets of similar mass and orbital spacing that have been found around some red dwarf stars such as TRAPPIST-1 and Barnard's Star. Because a hot Jupiter is a gas giant that formed farther out from its star and then migrated inwards, knocking any planets in its path out of the way, we would not expect to find a hot Jupiter alongside such orderly rocky planets.

But there are deeper correlations too, which were identified by Davoult in earlier research. In particular, the mass, radius and orbital period of the innermost detectable planet seems to be a big signpost as to whether a system hosts an Earth-size, temperate planet or not.

For instance, Davoult found that around G-type stars like our sun, the existence of an Earth-sized habitable zone planet seems more probable if the radius of the innermost detectable planet is greater than 2.5 times the radius of Earth, or if it has an orbital period greater than 10 days.

Armed with the knowledge of these correlations, the algorithm was successfully trained on the simulated data.

"The results are impressive: the algorithm achieves precision values of up to 0.99, which means that 99% of the systems identified by the machine-learning model have at least one Earth-like planet," said Davoult.

Confident in the algorithm's ability to recognize correlations, it was then applied to real observations, providing the 44 candidate planetary systems in which there is a high probability that an Earth-size planet exists in the habitable zone of its star. Astronomers can now follow up on these targets, rather than searching stars blindly.

The algorithm will really prove its worth in the future. The European Space Agency's PLATO mission is expected to discover many thousands of transiting planets. By applying the algorithm to PLATO's discoveries, it should be able to narrow down the many thousands of systems to the few that have a higher chance of supporting an Earth-like planet, allowing astronomers to find them more quickly and efficiently.

"This is a significant step in the search for planets with conditions favorable to life and, ultimately, for the search for life in the Universe," said Alibert.

The findings are published in the April 2025 issue of the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.

Patrick Grosse and URECAT

 

Patrick Grosse's URECAT is a formal catalog of UFO related entities sightings reports with the goal of providing quality information for accurate studies of the topic. It is a very useful site at times but I have been asked (I have no idea why I am asked as I have nothing to do with it!) why so many really "solid" encounters are excluded?

It has been suggested that Grosse is a debunker and only picks cases that can be dismissed. I should point out that if you have ever concluded that then you have certainly not read through his URECAT!

If you go to the bottom of each page you will note "This page was last updated on October 8, 2018" so seven years ago.  Why hasn't it been updated?  No idea. Perhaps Grosse lost interest in the subject as that does happen and only someone "odd" might spend 50 years looking at the entity/CE3K aspect of the subject as certainly there are few people who have even bothered reading the reports or spent 20 years studying them.

URECAT is an interesting source well worth considering a read through and we can only hope Grosse updates it one day.
