Full Description & Details
Thank you for your interesting insight and curiosity about this issue. Your
approach to understand physically what is going on with some UFO sightings
parallels what I do at NIDS. The gravitational lensing effect you mentioned
as a hypothesis is a valid idea given that our advisory board chairman (a
prominent physicist) and myself have proposed explanations for UFO
propulsion that are based on spacetime metric modification, which would lead
to the optical effects you outlined below. Gravitational lensing would be a
byproduct of manipulating spacetime in a tight envelope around a vehicle, or
also the effect of a traversable wormhole appearing through which a vehicle
would travel from another location in spacetime or dimensions. See my
recent MUFON Symposium paper and slides:
http://www.nidsci.org/articles/davis/davis_mufon2001.pdf
http://www.nidsci.org/articles/davis/davis_mufon2001slides.pdf
The slides, however, have examples of how a wormhole intersecting our local
space would look optically to observers. The effect would reproduce what
you described below. So yes, a gravitational lensing effect is at play.
You would be surprised as to how it occurs to only a very few people to
think about these things carefully and in-depth, like you did.

Eric W. Davis, Ph.D., FBIS Aerospace Physics & Astrophysics Div. NIDS

>> A powerful light source. A lensing or even multiple lensings. Receptive
