It is one of the most tantalising official accounts of an encounter with a UFO – deemed so credible it even convinced a UK government minister who investigated it. Now, for the first time, the sighting of a flying saucer by an RAF fighter pilot and the subsequent high level inquiry it prompted can be revealed.
The sighting occurred in 30 July 1952, when Flight Sergeant Roland Hughes was on a training flight over West Germany in a de Havilland Vampire FB9. As he was returning to base, he reported being intercepted by a "gleaming silver, metallic disc" which flew alongside his aircraft before speeding off. The mystery object was also detected by RAF radars on the ground, which recorded it travelling at speeds far in excess of any known aircraft. (Telegraph,UK)
Albert Einstein once said that, "past, present and future are an illusion." My own home grown model that I use to try and get a handle on this is: Think of the universe as one great hard drive containing everything that can ever be. So using the above as an example; whenever information is accessed, say Flt Sgt Hughes' UFO sighting on 30 July 1952; to pilot (A) the experience happens in his space/time, the 30 July 1952. But according to Einstein, say in 100 years pilot (B) has the identical experience. Both parties witness this UFO event in what we and they would call their respective "present."
It is we who designate past, present, future through our experience of what seems obvious: we're born, live and die in that order. It's this obviously logical progression that makes us define the past, the present and future in this way. But as Einstein states; it is an "illusion." For if we happened to exist outside our 3 dimensional space/time, we'd experience all possible events simultaneously!
This might help explain what is termed ESP, precognition and the paranormal, which is usually - but certainly not exclusively - experienced by people whom we might call sensitives. What seems to be happening is that they are accessing information, which from a strictly conventional perspective, would be regarded as not at all possible.
Quantum physics and Einstein inform us however, that what we term and experience as "reality" is anything but.
No one really knows what consciousness is, what it's capable of and what it's ultimate destiny may be. (Photos: Copyright Control)
