To the degree that the engineering characteristics of UFOs can be estimated by empirical observation, in
my opinion the above-referenced, recently-published book by Paul Hill provides the most reliable, concise
summary of engineering-type data available. [1] The data were compiled over decades of research by a
Chief Scientist-Manager at NASA's Langley Research Center [2] who acted as an informal clearinghouse
for UFO-related data. The strength of the compilation lies in its thoughtful separation of wheat from chaff,
and the analysis of the former into coherent patterns, including detailed calculations. Perhaps surprising to
the casually interested, under careful examination the observations, rather than defying the laws of physics
as naive interpretation might suggest, instead appear to be solidly commensurate with them, as the
following discussion shows.
One of the most consistently-observed characteristics of UFO flight is a ubiquitous pattern in which they
tilt to perform all maneuvers. Specifically, they sit level to hover, tilt forward to move forward, tilt
backward to stop, bank to turn, and descend by "falling-leaf" or "silver- dollar-wobble" motions. Detailed
analysis by Hill shows that such motion is inconsistent with aerodynamic requirements, but totally
consistent with some form of repulsive force-field propulsion. Not satisfied with paper analyses alone, Hill
arranged to have various forms of jet-supported and rotor-supported circular flying platforms built and
tested. Hill himself acted as test pilot in early, originally-classified, versions, and found the above motions
the most economical for control purposes. Pictures of these platforms are included in the text.
In an effort to examine the force-field propulsion hypothesis yet further, Hill analyzed a number of cases
involving near-field interactions with an apparent craft in which some form of force was in evidence. These
include examples in which a person or vehicle was affected, tree branches were parted or broken, roof tiles
were dislodged, objects were deflected, and ground or water were disturbed. Under close analysis the
subtleties of these interactions combine to point unequivocally to a repulsive force field surrounding the
craft, while discriminating against propulsion mechanisms involving jet action, pure electric or magnetic
effects, or the emission of energetic particles or radiation (although the latter may accompany the
propulsive mechanism as a secondary effect). Further detailed investigation indicates that the particular
form of force field propulsion that satisfies observational constraints is what Hill labels a directed
acceleration field; that is, a field that is, in general, gravitational-like in nature, and, in particular, gravity-
canceling. [3] Such a field acts on all masses in its sphere of influence as does a gravitational field.
Corollary to this conclusion is that observed accelerations ~100 g's relative to the environment could be
sustained without on-board high-g forces.
One of the consequences of the above identification of field propulsion type by Hill is his conclusion,
supported by detailed calculation, computer simulation and wind-tunnel studies, that supersonic flight
through the atmosphere without sonic booms is easily engineered. Manipulation of the acceleration-type
force field would, even at supersonic speeds, result in a constant-pressure, compression-free zone without
shockwave in which the vehicle is surrounded by a subsonic flow-pattern of streamlines, and subsonic
velocity ratios. An additional benefit of such field control is that drops of moisture, rain, dust, insects, or
other low-velocity objects would follow streamline paths around the craft rather than impact it.
Another puzzle resolved by Hill's analysis is that craft observed to travel continuously at Mach 4 or 5 do
not appear to generate temperatures sufficiently high to be destructive to known materials. In other words,
UFOs appear to prevent high aerodynamic heating rates, rather than permitting a heating problem, then
surviving it with heat- resistant materials as is the case of the Shuttle whose surface temperatures can reach
1300 degrees C. The resolution of this potential problem is shown by Hill to derive from the fact that the
force-field control that results in the prevention of shockwave drag as discussed above is also effective in
preventing aerodynamic heating. In effect the airflow approaches, then springs away from the craft,
depositing no energy in the process.
A further example of the type of correlation that emerges from Hill's analytical approach is provided by an
analysis of the economy of various flight-path profiles. It is shown that high-angle, high- acceleration
departures on ballistic-arc trajectories with high-speed coast segments are more efficient than, for example,
intermediate-level, horizontal-path trips, both in terms of required impulse-per-unit-mass and time-of-flight
parameters. This he correlates with the observation that UFO departures are of the dramatically high-angle,
high-acceleration type.
Also of interest is Hill's analysis of the spectra and intensity of an apparent plasma sheath surrounding such
craft, the details of which correlate with what one would expect in terms of it being a secondary effect
associated with the propulsion system, for example, a blue shift and intensity increase during a "power-up"
phase, and the opposite during hover or landing maneuvers. An additional fine point that emerges from this
analysis is resolution of the paradox that observation on a direct line-of-sight to a near part of the craft can
reveal a metallic-like structure while the attempt to observe the outline of the craft, necessarily by an
oblique line-of-sight, results in an indistinct blur. Analysis shows this to be a reasonable outcome of an
expected re- absorption of reflected light by the surrounding plasma in the longer- length path associated
with the more oblique view.
Another typical nugget of information is found in Hill's discussion of the results of the analysis of a
possible UFO artifact, the famous Ubatuba magnesium fragments claimed to have originated from an
exploded unidentified craft near Ubatuba, Brazil. Laboratory analysis of the samples found the magnesium
to be not only of exceptional purity, and anomalous in its trace composition of other elements, but 6.7%
denser than ordinary pure magnesium, a figure well beyond the experimental error of the measurement.
Hill's calculation shows that this observation can be accounted for by assuming that the sample contained
only the pure isotope Mg26, rather than the naturally-occurring distribution among isotopes Mg24, Mg25
and Mg26. Since the only isotope separation on a significant scale in terrestrial manufacture is that of
uranium, such a result must be considered at least anomalous, and possibly as evidence for extraterrestrial
manufacture.
Additional calculations concerning the parameters of interstellar travel (including relativistic effects), and
the energetics of such travel, have been performed and are included in tabular and graphical form. The
wealth of material in these sections, along with discussion of the broad implications of this material, reveal
the dedication and thoroughness of Hill's approach to his self-assigned task.
In the final analysis, one must conclude that Hill has assembled as good a case as can be made on the basis
of presently available data that the observation of some "unconventional flying objects" is compatible with
the presence of engineered platforms weighing in at something around 30 tons, which are capable of 100-g
accelerations and 9000-mph speeds in the atmosphere. Perhaps more important for the technical reader,
however, is Hill's supporting argumentation, based on solid analysis, that these platforms, although
exhibiting the application of physics and engineering principles clearly beyond our present-day capabilities,
do not appear to defy these principles in any fundamental way.

Ion - Propelled Aircraft
An ion - generated wind will lift and propel this
incredible magic carpet of the future

IT WAS DOWNRIGHT SPOOKY. Without a sound, the peculiar, spiky contraption rose straight up,
hovered awhile, climbed higher. Then it did a few graceful turns, stopped again, and just sat there silently
in midair.
It seemed like levitation - some trick to overcome gravity. I could not shake off the feeling that i was
attending a kind of spiritual seance, or maybe a Buck Rogers show, instead of an engineering
demonstration. The eerie scene took place in the big barn like laboratory of Electron-Atom Inc., research
firm in Long Island City, New York, devoted to the development of a new kind of flying machine. I had
been invited to watch a scale model being put through its paces by remote control. What we saw was by far
the oddest aircraft since the Wright Brothers' motorized kite. It had no prop. No jet. No wings. In fact, it
had no moving parts at all looking somewhat like an old-fashioned bedspring, the rectangular rig is the
nearest thing to a magic carpet. It needs no runway, takes off vertically and is expected to climb as high as
60 miles. It can crawl through the air like a snail, or go faster than a jet. Nobody yet knows the speed limit.
