Another argument supporting the idea of non-human visitors is the
longevity of the reports.  If sightings had occurred only in recent
times, they might be attributable to some passing mass psychosis, an
aberrant copycat function of minds frightened by the onrush of modern
technology.  But reports of flying machines and unearthly visitors
predate man's history.  And the evidence of technology superior to
ours in the distant past is particularly compelling.  Although there
is no clear indication that such technology was the product of alien
visitation rather than some lost civilization of man, the many ancient
tales of sky-gods and their flying craft tip the scales in favor of
alien contact.

Thank you to George Knapp, Michael Lindemann, Timothy Good, Ralph
Steiner, Stanton Frideman, Jim Marrs and George Filer for the above
information

Maybe there is an awakening process now in motion:

"...well it wasn't very long before I realize that I was wrong that
infact these phenomena are not misidentify natural phenomena.."

Finally.

Brief Biography (dated 1992)

Richard F. Haines was born and raised in Seattle, Washington, and
attended the University of Washing ton (College of Engineering) and
Pacific Lutheran College (Tacoma) where he received the B.A. degree in
1960. He was awarded the M.A. and Ph.D. from Michigan State University
(East Lansing) in 1962 and 1964, respectively, in the field of
Experimental Psychology.
After working at NASA-Ames from 1967 - 1986 as a research scientist in
numerous astronautical (Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Space Station) and
aeronautical (e.g., Mgr. of the Joint FAA/NASA Head-up Display
Program, landing simulation research) projects, he was appointed Chief
of the Space Human Factors Office at NASA-Ames (1986-1988) where he
directed research and development efforts of the AX-5 "hard" EVA space
suit, habitability design research for Space Station Freedom, and
spacecraft window design.

He retired from government service in 1988 and taught at San Jose
State University as an Associate Professor of Psychology while working
part time as a scientist in the Research Institute for Advanced
Computer Science. From 1990-1991 he has provided consulting services
to NASA in various laboratory activities related to supersonic wind
tunnel automation redesign and Space Station Freedom - to - ground
bandwidth image transmission reduction.

His interest in UFO phenomena spans over 20 years with special
interests in sightings by pilots, analysis of photographic evidence,
and data on Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind. He claims that,
"these three areas contain the type of data that will bring us to a
successful discovery of the core nature of the phenomena.
