Subject: UFOs, SACs, High Powered RF Weapons & USAF

The UFO literature describes several different types of Unidentified
Flying Objects.  Some of these reports describe encounters with devices
which I would classify as structured craft of no known human design, or
structured alien craft (SAC).  The UFO literature also describes some
unusual effects of these SACs.

One of their interesting reported effects involves the performance of
automotive vehicles in the presence of SACs.  Reports dating back as far
as the 1950s state that a vehicle could become inexplicably immobile and
could not be restarted in the presence of a SAC.  There are also
reported effects on electronic devices in the vehicle powered by the
battery, e.g. the car radio can become temporarily non-functional.  Some
of these reports suggest that this disabling effect is selectively
turned on and off by the SAC.

An interesting subtlety of the effect is that  those reports which
specify the type of internal combustion engine show that gasoline
powered engines and not diesel engines are effected.  At least one
report that I read mentions that a gasoline engine was disabled while a
diesel engine near the gasoline engine continued running in the presence
of the SAC.  Gasoline engines require an ignition system for sustaining
the combustion process after it is initiated, whereas a  diesel engine
does not need a working ignition system inorder to keep running once it
has been started.

With this in mind it is interesting to note the following in a document
published by the United States Air Force Scientific Advisory Board.  The
www location of this document, New World Vistas  Air and Space Power for
the 21st Century Summary Volume,  was distributed in UFO UpDates in
February 1997.  The entire message sequence should be in the archives.
The www location of the document for your convenience is:

for those who wish to read the entire document it is about 227K long.
The sections of the document relevant to this discussion are abstracted
below from Chapter II Section 5.0

What is interesting to note is that the USAF now has a sublethal weapon
capability of the type called High Power RF (HPRF).  This is a high
power radiofrequency device which can be directed against vehicles and
electronic devices.  These HPRF weapons "can be effective against
vehicle ignition systems" for stopping and immobilizing them.   The
report does not note effectiveness against vehicles not dependent on an
ignition system, e.g. diesel engines.  Apparently there is some effect
on electronic devices although the type this effect is not specified
presumably it is disabling or destructive as it is employed as a
military weapon.

Section 5.0 Projection of Lethal and Sublethal Power

5.2.1

"Although all fixed targets can be addressed with common sensors, or no
sensors, and delivery methods may be very much the same
for all, the energy applied to the target may vary considerably with the
target type. If sublethal response were in order, High Power
RF (HPRF) weapons could be used against vehicles and electronic devices.
The deployment of HPRF by cruise missile is discussed
in the Munitions Panel Volume."

5.2.2

"It is often sufficient simply to stop moving targets. Unarmed vehicles
can be left immovable. An immobile armed vehicle becomes a
fixed target which can be destroyed with simple munitions. Of course,
stopping and destroying an aircraft are equivalent processes.
HPRF weapons can be effective against vehicle ignition systems and
aircraft control systems."
