Hill at least a couple times and thereby (as far as I'm concerned) stationed herself on solid ground when it comes to making observations of UFOs and their characteristics. To my mind, anyone in the area of UFO research should read the book and reasoned research done by this capable scientist beginning back in the early fifties after he had his own sighting in 1952. As an aeronautical engineer working out of Langley Field in Virginia from the late forties and hence NASA in his later years he became an unofficial clearing house for UFO reports in that agency (though not sanctioned by it) for many years. I would place him in the same rank as Hynek, MacDonald and Wilbert Smith. Hill wrote the book on thrust vectoring. That's what stabilizes the rockets nowadays instead of those fins that we used to see in science fiction stories before the actual things came along. Hill had his sighting in broad daylight and thought to himself,"Hey we can't do the things these things are doing, and neither can the Russians." He reasoned right then that they had to be intelligently controlled vehicles and most likely extraterrestial. With what he had seen, and from reports from APRO he began to form his theories and some forty years later his wife published them. Mr. Hill died in 1991. I found the book facinating even though the math can be a bit daunting but stick with it. It should answer some very tough questions for you. There is a forward by Robert M. Wood, Ph.D. in Physics, Cornell University -1953. Mr. Wood was an Aeronautical Engineer from 1953-61 and Research Developement Manager from 1961-93 at McDonnell Douglas Corp. in Huntington Beach, California. There is also a critical comment under the title by Apollo 14 Astronaut, Edgar Mitchell-Sc.D.
