Object passed beneath the plane before crew could avoid it
Daily Mail A passenger plane came within 300 feet of crashing into a 'UFO' flying over Glasgow, an official investigation has found. The plane was less than 10 seconds away from hitting the object as it flew over Baillieston on the outskirts of Glasgow at 3,500ft … |

Hi all,
I have been reading the 2008 book by Dr Michio Kaku, the well known physicist. (click here.) The book is titled “Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration of the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation and Time travel.” The book was published by Allen Lane. London. ISBN 978-0-713-99992-1. (Click here.)
The work is divided into three parts, class I, class II and class III impossibilities. He defines these as:
Class I – “These are technologies that are impossible today but that do not violate the known laws of physics, so they might be possible in this century, or perhaps the next, in modified form…”
Class II – “These are technologies that sit at the very edge of our understanding of the physical world. If they are possible at all, they might be realized on a scale of millenia to millions of years in the future…”
Class III – “These are technologies that violate the known laws of physics…If they do turn out to be possible, they would represent a fundamental shift in our understanding of physics…” (pp.xvii)
Surprise:
It was therefor surprising that in part 1, class I impossibilities, that there is a chapter titled “Extraterrestrial UFOs.”
Kaku covers the search for extraterrestrial life, SETI, where are they? Plus information on extra-solar planets, before touching on the topic of UAP.
UAP:
“Some people claim that extraterrestrials have already visited the Earth in the form of UFOs. Scientists usually roll their eyes when they hear about UFOs and dismiss the possibility because the distances between stars are vast. But regardless of scientists’ reactions, persistent reports of UFOs have not diminished over the years.” (p.147.)
Kaku then notes that “UFO sightings actually date back to the beginning of recorded history.” (p.141) citing biblical and other sources. Mention is made of Project Blue Book and the 2007 release of French government files (click here.)
As to the cause of the majority of reports, Kaku lists Venus, swamp gas, meteors, atmospheric anomalies, radar echoes, weather and research balloons, aircraft and deliberate hoaxes. “At least 95 percent of sightings can be dismissed as one of the above.” (p.150.)
“But thus still leaves open the question of the remaining few percent of unexplained cases.” (p.150.) He cites as examples, the 1986 JAL flight 1628 case; (click here) the 1976 Tehran aircraft encounter (click here) and the 1989-1990 Belgium wave.
However, “What is frustrating to scientists is that, of the thousands of recorded sightings, none has produced hard physical evidence that can lead to reproducible results in the laboratory. No alien DNA, alien computer chip or physical evidence of an alien landing has ever been retrieved.” (p.150.)
“Allowing for the moment that such UFOs might be real spacecraft..” (p.150) Kaku poses the question what propulsion system could they use?
Using the reported characteristics of unexplained cases he postulates “…a vehicle propelled by magnetism ” (p.151) and goes on to examine potential nanotechnology.
This section concludes with “Given the rapid advance in SETI and discovering extra-solar planets, contact with extraterrestrial life, assuming it exists in our vicinity, may occur within this century…” (p.153.)
Comments:
It was interesting to find this piece in such a work. Unfortunately, it is a cursory overview, but at least if doesn’t totally dismiss the topic out of hand, even noting that there remain unexplained cases.
I looked up the biography to see what books on UAP, that Kaku had referenced as the source(s) of his information. There aren’t any. There are also no footnote references to the topic.

Hi all,
Introduction:
In a previous post I drew readers’ attention to the fact that Melbourne researcher, Paul Dean, had located a Department of Civil Aviation file which reported an unidentified aerial object on radar, over Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, on 3 April 1966, three days before the Westall incident.
The file, file series MT1298/1, control symbol VTI-66/319 is titled “Unidentified Aerial Object 3/4/1966 Tullamarine” barcode 12598126 was found in the Melbourne office of the National Archives of Australia. It has just been digitised.
The contents:
The 11 page file starts off with a form titled “Report on Aerial Object Observed.” The date of the incident is given as 3 April 1966 and the time as 2015 to 2027 local time. The reporter’s name was J Reinmuth who was using the CSF radar at Tullamarine, Melbourne’s international airport.
The object was first seen at a range of 54.5 nautical miles at an azimuth of 55 degrees (ie. roughly north-east.) The observer’s attention was first drawn to an “Unidentified plot in proximity to inbound route.” Its speed was given as 60 knots in a north-easterly direction. The direction of flight was stated to be north-east from first observed position. It was travelling in a straight line. It was seen at 61 nautical miles bearing 055 degrees magnetic. The wind direction at the time was from the south-west. A check of aircraft in the area at the time revealed that the nearest plane was “TJA on normal inbound route.”
At 2040hrs the object was “…still observed on radar at 64 nautical miles.” At 2043 hrs still 64 nm where it was last observed.
The next two pages are headed “Department of Civil Aviation Air Safety Incident Report” number VTI-66/319. The date of the event is given as 3 April 1966. The event is labelled “Unidentified Aerial Object.” Under the heading “Action by regional investigator” in handwriting is “It appears likely that the object was a met balloon and this aspect is being investigated.” Signed Woodward SIAS 6 Apr 1966.
The Victorian Bureau of Meteorology was asked if the object could have been a met balloon. On 4 Jul 1966 they responded “It appears that the object could have been a meteorological balloon, with radar reflector attached, released from the RAAF Base, Laverton. The position and movement of the object are consistent with the time of release of a balloon and the winds which affected at that time.”
Comments:
1. The speed and direction of movement of this radar only observed object, do indeed seem consistent with a weather balloon. However, it should be noted that the Bureau of Meteorology’s analysis concludes “…could have been a meteorological balloon.” Thus this conclusion is not 100% certain.
2. As an aside it should be noted that the Melbourne newspaper “The Age,” on Thursday 7 Apr 1966 page 6, carried a short item about the identity of the object reported at Westall High School, Clayton South, Melbourne, the day before, part of which reads:
“Object perhaps balloon
An unidentified flying object seen over the Clayton-Moorabbin area yesterday morning might have been a weather balloon…The weather bureau released a balloon at Laverton at 8.30am and the westerly winds blowing at the time could have moved it into the area where the sighting was reported…”
3. A search of the RAAF’s UAP file file series A703, contrtol symbol 580/1/1 part 5 which carries reports from April 1966 failed to reveal a report from Reinmuth.
