Over the course of his thirty years of investigation into UFOs, including his own field research, photographic evidence, and meticulously compiled case studies, Philip Imbrogno has provided fascinating new insight into paranormal phenomena. In this book, he reveals for the first time the detailed findings of prominent paranormal experts as well as his own firsthand experiences.
Using the latest quantum theories, Imbrogno sheds new light on classic UFO cases, government cover-ups, and the hidden connections between UFOs and other unexplained phenomena-from crop circles and animal mutilations to angels and jinn (or genies).
Imbrogno's insider knowledge spans the very early UFO reports to present-day sightings. He personally investigated four of the best-known UFO flaps of the modern era—Hudson Valley, Phoenix lights, the Belgium sightings, and the Gulf Breeze Florida sightings—and shares information never released before, including photographic evidence that something very unusual is taking place on planet Earth.

ROSWELL: THE STORY THATWILL NOT FADE AWAY
It has been more than six decades since the beginning of what has been called the “modern” UFO era, and although the phenomenon seems to come and go in cycles, there is no indication that sightings and close encounters have vanished to become part of our mythology. It all began on June 25, 1947, when Kenneth Arnold (fig. 1), a private pilot, witnessed a number of unknown objects flying over the Cascade Mountains in Washington State at great speed. When he was asked by the media to describe what the strange aerial objects looked like, he replied, “They looked like saucers skipping across water.” Thus the term “flying saucer” was born to describe the unknown aircraft that Arnold saw that day. The truth of the matter is, Arnold never said that they were saucer-or disk-shaped—he was trying to describe to the press how the objects moved across the sky. When he drew the unknown aircraft he witnessed for federal investigators, his artistic representation showed the mystery object as looking like a boomerang or chevron and not a saucer. However, they were still called flying saucers by the media, and from that time until today, the citizens of planet Earth have reported seeing thousands of them each year to the government leaders of the world, who have just turned their backs on the reports as if they did not exist.
Because of the great magnitude of sightings, the matter was turned over to the Air Force, where several project studies were carried out from 1951 to 1969 to determine if the mysterious objects were a threat to national security. Many UFO researchers whom I have talked with over the years now think that these projects, which had the names Sign, Grudge, and Blue Book, were nothing more than a public-relations front by the government to make people think that the reports of UFOs were being taken seriously, when in fact many were not. During that time, the Air Force was indeed interested in UFO reports, but only those that were sighted over or near military bases or other secured areas. The Air Force and other government agencies treated many of the people who had witnessed something truly incredible as crazy or claimed they were pathological liars looking for publicity. The negative effect of this attitude was that those people who had UFO encounters were afraid to report them because they were afraid that they might be labeled as nuts. Recently, due to the efforts of a civilian group called Citizens Against UFO Secrecy (CAUS), who obtained official government documents using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), it became clear that many of the civilian reports were taken seriously by the intelligence organizations of this country. The documents proved that the governments of the major powers of planet Earth were very concerned about the sightings of flying saucers and what they might possibly represent.
ALIENS BECOME PART OF OUR CULTURE
Today there is a renewed interest in UFOs, aliens, life on other planets, and extraterrestrial contact. The twenty-first century has marked a new era of discovery for the human race with the exploration of the surface of planet Mars and the launch of the New Horizons spacecraft to Pluto. According to the International Astronomical Union, during the past thirteen years over two hundred planets outside our solar system have been discovered circling stars within our sun’s galactic neighborhood. This is an indication that the galaxy might be teeming with life, and perhaps contains many technological civilizations. The movies in our local theaters and on television are filled with stories of alien contact and, through this same media, images of extraterrestrials and UFOs are being used by many businesses to help sell their products. Most people today now embrace the idea that we are not alone in the universe and many expect first contact within their lifetime. The idea for the movie Men in Black (MIB) did not come from an imaginative Hollywood screenwriter—it was taken from actual reports of witnesses who were visited by mysterious men after a close encounter. Although the elusive MIBs claim to be government agents, no agency will acknowledge that they exist. Their message to the witnesses of a UFO is always the same: be silent or face the consequence.
So why is there still such a great interest in UFOs after all these years? The answer may lie in the fact that the governments of the world may have had actual contact with a race of aliens for several decades and are slowly trying to introduce the idea into our culture. Although no one, including myself, has proof that this has actually taken place, it could explain why images of the “gray” alien beings with the large heads and eyes can be found on pencils, lunch boxes, television, and in video games and the movies. They are becoming quite familiar figures to the next generation of the twenty-first century, a generation that may be undergoing programming to accept them without fear. Also, millions of people around the world continue to report encounters with an alien intelligence, and many claim to have made contact with the pilots of the UFOs. These incidents are too numerous to ignore, and they can no longer be denied. Is there any hard evidence that we have been visited by an extraterrestrial intelligence in modern times? UFO researchers feel the strongest evidence for this comes from an alleged crash and recovery of an extraterrestrial spacecraft just outside Roswell, New Mexico, by the United States government in 1947.
During the first week of July 1997, I received a call from a TV producer who told me that she was planning to do a program on UFOs that was to be aired in the fall. As the conversation continued, she said that she was very surprised to reach me since she thought I would surely be at Roswell for the fiftieth anniversary of the “UFO crash.” I told her that I really didn’t see the point in going, because what took place there happened fifty years ago and there would be nothing new to discover since the trail is now cold. The Roswell incident has always been somewhat of an enigma to me. Did a spaceship from another world really crash in the desert of New Mexico? Most people who have read about the Roswell crash do not know that the object that was allegedly recovered was not a disk, but delta in shape. Because it did happen so long ago (by human standards), and because most of the people who were around at that time have passed away or were too young to remember, it’s difficult to find out what really took place. Also, when a story is told over and over again for many years, it has a tendency to become more fantastic and detailed than the original version.
Since it is not the purpose of this book to rehash the Roswell case, I will not get into the finer details of the alleged Roswell, New Mexico, UFO crash. I do feel it is important to cover the basic information for those who know little or nothing of one of the most famous (or infamous) UFO incidents of modern times. You must be very careful about what you read about the Roswell incident, because over the years it has developed almost a cult following all over the world, and much of the information contained in many publications both printed and electronic has very little to do with the real facts. During the mid-1980s, I was fortunate enough to obtain the original news stories from a number of papers including the New York Times and the San Francisco Chronicle. After reading these first accounts of what took place at Roswell, it was quite clear how greatly recent television presentations and books on the Roswell incident deviated from the original 1947 stories. The following is a synopsis of the Roswell incident, based on information from the 1947 news stories and my own investigation, and from the files of the late Dr. J. Allen Hynek, files that were given to me several months after his death in 1986.
