A total of 473 cases spanning the period 1504 BC to 1993 are presented. Each of the two hundred thirty initial cases are presented with an abstract and comments of what took place; another 243 cases are listed in tabular form. The number of objects seen flying together ranges from two to "hundreds"; these sightings last about 23 minutes on the average. An interesting fact which was uncovered was that not only do the multiple objects often look identical in shape, size, color, reflectivity, and controllability but also that often they are described as discs, ovals, or spheres and not airplanes, gliders, blimps, dirigibles, rockets, balloons, or birds. Most of these eye witnesses simply could not bring themselves to describe the objects as being something perceptually they were not. Visual acuity being what it is (in people possessing normal 20:20 vision) even short stubby wings and tail structure protruding from a fuselage of an airplane can be seen at great distances; in other words, people can usually tell an airplane from something that is not an airplane.
Special emphasis is given to the dynamic features of flight, formation(s), shape, luminous characteristics, and other details of these marvellous aerial devices. Drawings are included for some cases to illustrate probable flight paths and related details which would be harder to visualize only by a textual description. This evidence strongly suggests that the features of these multiple aerial phenomena have not changed over the years.
While I have tried to be as accurate as possible in researching the evidence presented here there will, no doubt, be errors of omission and commission. I apologize for them and request that they be brought to my attention for correction in future editions. This evidence strongly suggests that the features of these multiple phenomena have not changed over the years.
There is also extraordinary evidence here to support the proposition that most of the aerial objects described are under highly intelligent control. When compared with the state of aeronautical technology at the time these objects were seen it is clear that man had a limited capability to build and fly aeronautical vehicles which could perform as these objects performed. I conclude that the likelihood is very high that our planet is being visited by manufactured aerospace vehicles of non-terrestrial origin which are under highly "intelligent" flight control.
