	The Formulation and Predictions of the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Note that at this point, we are not concerned with the origin, since the alternative hypothesis is simply that the objects exist without regard to the origin of the objects.
		The misidentification hypothesis is an utter failure in both logical process and in explanatory appeal, as detailed in the page on skeptical logical trickery and as judged by the inability to explain the most challenging cases, but the ETH is scientifically valid and superior to the alternative.
		The misidentification hypothesis has a gaping flaw in its ability to explain the observations, and the ETH is a scientifically valid hypothesis that is the simplest available to explain globally repeating, highly reliable observations by eminently qualified observers of solid objects under intelligent control with propulsion technology irreproducible by human knowledge.

	THE
		Further, recent objections to the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence based on the Fermi Paradox [6-8] are invalid [9] because they are based on the unsupported assumption that ETI or their artifacts are not now present in the Solar System.
		If the hypothesis is correct, then unless the programme has only just begun, some evidence of this extraterrestrial exploratory activity should be apparent within the confines of the Solar System and thus could be detected by a suitable observational effort [10-11].
		Extraterrestrial data concealed in DNA, representing a low-mass self-replicating artifact, has been suggested as a carrier of extraterrestrial information [25, 28], but attempts to decode possible "virus messages" have been unsuccessful [29].

		Although the intelligent-design hypothesis is sometimes viewed as a Trojan horse for introducing certain theological hypotheses into science, intelligent design can be performed by entities that are both nonhuman and nontheological, and the scientific community has actually dealt with several important examples of these.
		They concluded that it could be some interstellar radio broadcast, and tested the hypothesis that the source was on a planet orbiting some other star by looking for a telltale changing time delay as the signal crossed different amounts of the planet's orbit over time.
		Thomas Gold published this hypothesis in 1967, and the later observation of pulsars' periods increasing was perfectly consistent with it--pulsars are spinning down.

	Fermi Paradox
		Physicist Enrico Fermi asked: "If there are extraterrestrials, where are they?" The fact that no convincing evidence had been found of extraterrestrial activity in or near the solar system suggested to him that there were no intelligent extraterrestrial societies in the Galaxy.
		To advocates of the extraterrestrial hypothesis of unidentified flying objects, or the paleocontact hypothesis, the answer was simple: intelligent beings from the stars had arrived.
		Abstract: The assertion that extraterrestrial intelligences (ETI) do not exist based on the apparent contradictions inherent in the Fermi Paradox, rests upon an unproven and untenable presumption: That ETI are not now present in the Solar System.

	Jinn information - Extraterrestrial hypothesis
		But there is much evidence for the likelihood that deceptive jinn are masquerading as extraterrestrials.
		We aren't likely to find life on other planets when we insist that it must be the same as our life, and apparent to our five senses.
		But there are grounds for looking at the likelihood that deceptive jinn are masquerading as extraterrestrials.

	Extraterrestrial hypothesis - The Black Vault Encyclopedia Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The Extraterrestrial hypothesis (sometimes shortened to ETH) is the hypothesis that UFO reports are best explained as creatures from other planets, occupying physical extraterrestrial spacecraft visiting Earth.
		Those in favor of an extraterrestrial explanation cite something obvious in support of their theory: the phenomenon appears to be extraterrestrial--it uses all the trappings of 'aliens' and 'spaceships'...
		Fort occasionally suggested that extraterrestrials were responsible for a wide variety of events: Inexplicable artifacts, mysterious disappearances (and strange appearances), and bizarre lights reported in the sky or in the oceans.

	ufo - UFOS at close sight: arguments pro and con the ETH hypothesis, a discussion
		I propose that, admitting extraterrestrial presence would have as goal a physical survey of the Earth, there might be no encounter at all, as encounter is probably not required to a physical survey.
		Even worse for this hypothesis, there is not one single evidence that Earthlights "manipulate space and time," on the contrary they seem severely bound to space when they are observed almost exclusively at seismic location or fixed location, and I know of no physical evidence that they would manipulate time in any way.
		Discarding the extra-terrestrial hypothesis on the grounds that the extra-terrestrial beings would not conform to what we expect them to be or do is pure nonsense.

	The Temporal Doorway - Comments On The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis
		At the first level of theorization, we have the OEH - the objective existence hypothesis, which states: "UFOs are an objectively existent phenomenon, not a subjectively (i.e.
		If this hypothesis fails, there is no need for the ETH or any other hypothesis which depends on objective existence.
		Indeed, it remains reasonable at this point to state that even basic ETH can be no more than a working hypothesis, and of the ETH, the most solid part of the working hypothesis is that UFOs are objects of an artifical and technological nature.

	Extraterrestrial hypothesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The hypothesis is supported by a substantial number of individuals within the scientific community, and many organizations have been set up to actively study UFO sightings and contact reports in relation to ETH.
		The behavior of extraterrestrials reported during alleged abductions is often inconsistant and irrational.

	Interdimensional hypothesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This hypothesis has been offered as an alternative to the extraterrestrial hypothesis, which proposes that unidentified flying objects are technological artifacts of other civilizations from distant worlds in our own universe.
		The interdimensional hypothesis proposes that these objects are a modern manifestation of elements, particularly mythological creatures, which have appeared throughout recorded history and possibly since earliest humans walked the earth.
		This is a slight variant of the more accepted extraterrestrial hypothesis, that assumes such craft and beings arise from stellar systems from within our own universe.

	SETV- References to Pertinent Works
		A code of contact for the case that an extraterrestrial signal or message is received seems to be mandatory for mankind and a revised text of the already existing "Draft Declaration of Principles Concerning Activities Following the Detection of Extraterrestrial Intelligence" prepared by' the SETI Committee of the IAA, is suggested here.
		The classes of extraterrestrial signals likely to be detected, beacons and leakage signals, are considered, and options in the specification of gating and thresholding for a high-spectral resolution, high-time-resolution signal discriminator are indicated.
		The hypothesis is based on the following assumptions about (1) that they exist in abundance in the Galaxy; (2) that they are benevolent toward earth-based life forms, and (3) that the lack of any human detection of extraterrestrials is due to an embargo designed to prevent any premature disclosure of their existence.

	Then there's Science (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		There is nothing extraterrestrial in the data, and therefore, the inclusion of extraterrestrials in a hypothesis intended to explain UFOs is "multiplying variables unneccessarily" - a violation of Occam's Razor.
		According to the scientific method, we formulate the null hypothesis and attempt to falsify it.
		The null hypothesis is "the pen is not under the couch".

	extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH)
		The belief that at least some unidentified flying objects are extraterrestrial spacecraft.
		The extraterrestrial hypothesis became more popular and sustained, however, following the UFO wave which began with Kenneth Arnold's sighting of "flying saucers" in 1947.
		In both cases, the extraterrestrial explanation was not immediately sought by the public but was encouraged by speculation in the media.

	UFOs Essays and Articles at eNotes
		Those who argue in favor of the extraterrestrial hypothesis argue that the universe’s vast size makes life and the development of many technologically advanced civilizations highly probable.
		For believers in the extraterrestrial hypothesis, a government conspiracy to belittle UFO sightings and hide evidence of human/alien contact conveniently explains the consistent government denials concerning UFOs as well as the lack of physical evidence.
		Philip J. Klass, a UFO investigator who has written numerous books debunking claims of extraterrestrial visitation, argues that “the only credible evidence of a ‘UFO coverup’ that I’ve been able to find is by those who make such accusations against the government, and by producers of many TV shows.

	The humanity & ET
		Therefore, the intelligent extraterrestrial life is manifestly more than a simple working hypothesis for at least some influential members of the scientific community, so that it is studied by a recent science named the exobiology.
		So, they consider an extraterrestrial visit on the Earth to be not very probable, all the more so as they don't think it is under a special attention that would make it a priority goal of travel.
		The extraterrestrial that try, for personal purposes, to manipulate a part or the whole of the humanity have certainly the means of determining what human "profile" is likely to give the best "puppets".

		The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis The belief that the beings who abduct and are associated with unidentified flying objects are coming from other planets in our physical universe.
		Very few of us are comfortable with this as part of our working hypothesis, but life becomes a more marvelous adventure if it can be embraced.

	National Institute for Discovery Science: The Scientific Search for Evidence of Extraterrestrial Intelligence in the ...
		Abstract: It is shown that the scientific rationale, which supports the hypothesis that evidence of ETI’s (extraterrestrial intelligence’s), or their artifacts, may exist in the Solar System, can be based on established astronomy, biology, geology and paleontology, given the assumption that interstellar spaceflight, based on physics as yet undiscovered, can become a universal activity.
		This therefore suggests that extraterrestrial spacecraft, if any have visited us, would almost certainly display characteristics that were inexplicable to us because their technology would be based on science as yet unknown to us.
		This is the weakness of astronomical SETI where the basic hypothesis is that ETI’s are out there sending signals, or that their technology is radiating at frequencies that could not possibly come from any natural source.

	A RE-EVALUATION OF THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL ORIGIN OF THE CAROLINA BAYS
		Nonetheless, because the terrestrial or extraterrestrial hypothesis which eventually becomes accepted must account for salient features associated with the bays, the characteristics are reviewed.
		Whereas morphology and alignment are not conclusive proof of an extraterrestrial hypothesis, and although we recognize valid weaknesses in the existing meteoritic swarm or shower hypothesis, we believe that most of these objections should not serve as a deterrent for a re-examination of additional extraterrestrial alternatives.
		Although the shower hypothesis (Melton and Schriever, 1933; Melton, 1934, 1950; Prouty, 1952; and Wells and Boyce, 1953) may account for a sufficient number of objects to form half a million bays, it is doubtful that there was sufficient mass to survive atmospheric passage.

	Nine Theories of Extraterrestrial Contact
		This theory assumes that the aliens have an advanced interbreeding program (David Jacobs, The Threat), and that their aims are not at all benign but downright sinister.
		New Age theories of alien contact tend to present a mixed bag of grand, starry-eyed plans and divine intentions involving a diverse cast of non-human species, some benevolent and some otherwise.
		Salvationism is an ideological virus of extraterrestrial origin.

	UFOs and the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis (ETH) - UFO Evidence
		A hypothesis is creatively put forward, with accumulated empirical evidence acting to either falsify the hypothesis or substantiate it (at least until a "better" hypothesis eventually overshadows it).
		The notion of extraterrestrial intelligent life presupposes the existence of extraterrestrial life itself, and this brings up the problem of our definitions of life, not to mention our definitions of intelligence in the former term.
		One can begin to see that the question of "advanced" ETI (and, by extension, that a UFO could be of extraterrestrial origin) can only be speculated upon in a far and honest manner by incorporating the probabilities of the many complex variables (from physics, astrophysics, biochemistry, evolutionary biology, psychology, etc.) into one large equation.

	UFO and Ancient-Astronaut Paradoxes
		UFO enthusiasts point that these alleged extraterrestrial spaceships undoubtedly have technology much in advance of ours, but they go on further to claim that we are in no more position to judge their capabilities than (say) someone living in the Amazon jungle would have to judge a helicopter's capabilities.
		So IMO the most plausible hypothesis is that the saucer shape is a byproduct of that misbegotten term, "flying saucer"; from this discussion, the most likely shape of an extraterrestrial spaceship that travels fast in the Earth's atmosphere would be a missile or airplane shape.
		Thus, if extraterrestrial visitors had used nuts and bolts in their construction, they would likely have used a few standard sizes of these fasteners, but those sizes would have differed from the corresponding sizes in corresponding Earthling fasteners.

	Inflation-Theory Implications For ET Visitation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Therefore we reexamine and reevaluate the present assumption that extraterrestrials or their probes are not in the vicinity of Earth, and argue instead that some evidence of their presence might be found in certain high-quality UFO reports.
		The extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH), that intelligent life from 'elsewhere' in the universe could be visiting Earth, has become less implausible through suggestions that the velocity- of-light constraint=97 'they can't get here from there'=97is not as restricting as had been assumed previously.
		Therefore, one of the recommendations made by the moderator of a 1997 panel of scientists is that journal editors should change their policy of refusing to even seriously consider publishing articles related to the UFO phenomenon, so that this difficulty may be alleviated [36].

		This is especially true when an alleged paranormal phenomenon grows to such large proportions that it demands some sort of explanation, as has certainly become the case with the UFO phenomenon.
		The belief that the UFO phenomenon is the result of actual alien visitors to Earth is known as the extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH).
		Although Matheson states that he is not attempting to determine the truth of abduction accounts, he concludes that approaching the abduction narrative as a modern mythology is very instructive to understanding the evolution of the narrative and its place in modern culture.

		The main global explanations are then reviewed, from secret crafts to extraterrestrial manifestations; In a third part, will be examined measures to be taken regarding defence, from information of pilots, both civilian and military, to strategic, political and religious consequences, should the extraterrestrial hypothesis be confirmed.
		The hypothesis of secret weapons is also regarded as very improbable, the same as "intoxication" at the time of the cold war, or just natural phenomena.
		Since the extraterrestrial origin of UFOs cannot be ruled out, it is therefore necessary to study the consequences of that hypothesis at the strategic level, but also political, religious and media/public information levels.
