Aerial Anomalies International info

INTRODUCTION

Since prehistory, man has been observing unusal happenings
in the sky. Those occurences have been given various names
to suit the trends of the times. However, in almost every
instance, the identifying nomenclatures used were either
inaccurate or misleading for the various forms of reported
experiences.

Historically, we have used a variety of names such as angels,
flying shields, mystery airships, phantom planes, ghost
rockets, flying saucers and unidentified flying objects to
describe aerial phenomena. But those terms are both
restrictive and lacking in accuracy. The phenomena that we
study ranges from micro specks in the sky to macro masses
sometimes comparable to unnatural structures.

Observations by witnesses of truly enigmatic occurences in
the sky fall into two broad categories: (1) Natural aerial
phenomena and/or (2) Unknown aerial phenomena (having an
apparent intelligent source). Both categories deserve
serious disciplined study. It is essential that we differen-
tiate between the two categories and classify, when possible.

Because of this crucial need, we do not go beyond the point
of referring to anomalous aerial phenomena by other names
such as spaceships, flying saucers and UFOs. To do so would
be equivalent to stating that we study spaceships, flying
saucers and unidentified flying objects; none of which would
be accurate. We use such terms only as historical and
reported references; not as verified identifiable nomen-
clatures.

We oppose the use of misleading names which help to give
the press, public and scientific community a totally false
impression of actual aerial phenomena. In order to overcome
the stigma attached to this subject, we need the help and
support of the most experienced and knowledgeable people
available.

Investigators, researchers and serious students of aerial
phenomena are encouraged to share their works and findings
with us. We endeavor to make as much factual information
available as possible to both our associates and to the
public at large. Should you wish to participate in our
activities or have a work published and distributed,
please contact us for details.
