FLYING SAUCER
When Kenneth Arnold reported his 1947 daylight sighting of nine boomerang-shaped UFOs over the north west of the USA, a newspaper covered the story and called the crafts "flying saucers" because Arnold said that their movements were similar to that of a saucer skipping across the surface of a lake despite the fact that the UFOs weren't saucer-shaped. The name stuck.

FLYING SAUCER REVIEW
The longest running UFO journal in existence, running since the 1950's. Unfortunately not the authoritative journal it used to be in its heyday due to changes of editors. The current editor, Gordon Creighton believes that we are all being controlled by alien forces of some sort and that we can do nothing to stop them. He is also convinced that a significant percentage of the Earth's population is half-alien-half-human, and some people are completely alien.

FLYING SAUCER INFORMATION CENTER
7803 Ruanne Court, Pasadena, Maryland 21122, James H. Wales : Update Founded in 1954 Acts as a clearing house for the distribution of UFO information to the general public. Laura Mundo began this organization in 1954.

Group feels the Earth is in danger due to upcoming radical changes in the atmosphere (sunspot activity) and Space Beings are here to help. They will be able to either solve the problem or take selected Earth people to safe locations (inside their insulated spaceships) until the atmospheric activity calms down. When humans return to Earth after surviving the atmospheric instability, they will begin the Universal Way of Life, which is a standard way of life on other planets. Also believe Space People living on Earth today are to here to monitor us and help.

FOIA
Abbreviation for Freedom of Information Act. The US Congress in 1966 acted to increase public access to government records. It provided that any records, documents, memoranda, statements of policy, and other similar materials be made available to those persons who requested it.

Certain documents were exempted from disclosure and this included this such as National Security, Trade Secrets, ongoing investigations, maps of minerals & wells etc.

Since the FOIA act many UFO researchers have managed to obtain many remarkable documents from various government agencies which indicated that UFO are the subject of much investigation and secrecy.

However, there are still many UFO documents which have not been released, despite various court cases by groups such as CAUS.

FOO FIGHTERS
Shiny metallic-looking spheres seen floating in the skies in World War II from about 1943 onwards. Both sides believed that they were new rockets being developed by the other side. After the war, neither side claimed to know anything about them. Each of the following wars have had many sightings of these spheres. This term is now sometimes used to describe any UFO that displays any aggressive maneuvers.

FORT, CHARLES
Charles Fort was probably the first UFOlogist. He was born in 1874 in Albany, New York where he became a reporter and writer. After years of studying old news reports he found a pattern of strange aerial phenomena that had been reported throughout the years. He instantly became interested in the subject of UFOs and started writing many books.

He was concerned that the subject of UFO was not being taken seriously by science, and said "Science is established preposterousness, Science of today - superstition of tommorrow. Science of tomorrow - superstition of today". He died in 1932. Books: The book of the Damned - 1919 New Lands - 1923 Lo! - 1931

FUFOR
A non-profit, tax-exempt organization based in Washington, D.C. whose mission is to provide grants for scientific research and public education projects dealing with the UFO phenomenon. Since 1979 has raised more than $150,000.00 from more than 2000 contributors.

Also sponsors and awards the annual Donald E. Keyhoe Journalism Award." The Fund sponsors such projects the release of U.S. Government documents concerning UFOs under the Freedom of Information Act, computer-aided analysis of UFO photographs, research into major UFO sightings around the world, research into "Operation Majestic 12", psychological testing of people who reported being abducted by apparent aliens, international symposiums and conducts interviews and lectures.

The Fund takes the position that many reported UFOs cannot be identified as conventional aerial vehicles or phenomena. Thus, UFO reports are potentially of enormous significance and merit serious scientific research.

GHOST ROCKETS (GHOSTROCKTEERS)
In 1946, over two thousand UFOs were observed flying above Scandinavia. They looked like conventional missiles with a flame exhaust at one end, but traveled at varying speeds and performed various exotic maneuvers at these speeds. There were reports at the time that some had landed and exploded. Neither East nor West admitted launching these rockets.

Western scientists analyzed fragments from these missiles and said that they were made of an organic substance that resembled carbide. When a Greek investigation publicly announced in 1967 that these were not missiles, the investigation was ordered to close by the Army and further information was covered in a blanket of secrecy.

GIZAN - (OR GIZAHN)
The 'Gizeh People' have been referred to by the Pleiadians (Billy Meier contacts) as well as others. This 'may' have some connection with the strange 'people' and technology allegedly encountered in deep abyrinthine recesses beneath Egypt, who were sometimes reportedly seen by explorers, and who are said to dress like 'ancient Egyptians'. There is allegedly, according to Leading Edge Research, a huge cavern deep beneath Egypt which is inhabited by people with close ties with the U.S. 'secret government'. Some sources indicate that the 'Giza People' may be a 'controlled' society with the reptilians being the dominant power, although there is still much mystery as to what the "Gizeh Empire" is all about (Evadamic-Draconian).

GODMAN AFB
This is the Air Force Base where Captain Thomas Mantell was requested by the bases control tower to investigate a UFO they had picked up on radar. As a result of this encounter Mantell plane crashed and he was killed. His last message to the control tower was: 'It appears to be metallic object......tremendous in size....directly ahead and slightly above .....I am trying to close for a better look'.

GOLDWATER, BARRY
Senator Barry Goldwater, former Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, has made several unsuccessful attempts to examine UFO evidence stored at Wright-Patterson. In a letter (28th March 1975)from the Senator to UFO researchers he wrote:

"The subject of UFOs is one that has interested me for some long time. About ten to twelve years ago I made an effort to find out what was in the building at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base where the information is stored that has been collected by the Air Force, and I was understandably denied the request. It is still classified above Top Secret. I have, however, heard that there is a plan underway to release some, if not all, of this material in the near future. I'm just as anxious to see this material as you are, and I hope we will not have to wait much longer." Of course we are still waiting!

GOOD, TIMOTHY
Timothy Good is one of the most prominent British UFO authors. Most of his work to date has revolved around the Government cover-up of the phenomenon. He is also a member of the London Symphony Orchestra as a violinist. Books: Above Top Secret (1988) Alien Update (1995) Alien Con tact (1995) Alien Liaison (1991) The UFO Report

GRAILS

GRAY, GORDON
Alleged member of MJ-12. Gray had been schooled as a lawyer and had spent the years 1937-47 as a newspaper publisher. In post-war Washington Gray's reputation as a gentleman with intelligence, reliability, and without political ties or debts made him an attractive addition to the alleged MJ-12 team.

In 1950, Gray was appointed special assistant to President Truman on National Security Affairs; and in 1951, he was directing the Psychological Strategy Board.

GREYS/GRAYS
The most common type of alien seen in CLOSE ENCOUNTER cases. Height varies from two feet to five feet, are humanoid, and usually have black bug-like eyes, little or no nose and a small slit for a mouth.

GREENS
Humans of 'normal' size, yet who possess an olive-green skin color. They claim to be from a subterranean or cavernous realms beneath Europe which they refer to as 'St. Martin's Land' (Evadamic).

GREEN FIREBALLS
On 16th February 1948 a secret conference was held at Los Alamos to discuss the UFO phenomena, in particular the so-called 'green fireballs' which were then being widely reported in the area.

Among the scientists and military officials present were the nuclear physicist Dr Edward Teller and Dr Lincoln La Paz, an astronomer from the University of New Mexico whose expert opinion was called on throughout the conference.

La Paz was absolutely convinced that the green fireballs were not conventional fireballs or meteorites, and described his own sighting on 12th December 1948: "This fireball appeared in full intensity instantly - there was no increase of light .... It's color, estimated to be somewhere around wave length 5200 angstroms, was a hue green, such as I had never observed before in meteor falls before. The path was as nearly horizontal as one could determine by visual observation...Just before the end...the green fireball broke into fragments, still bright green".

Various secret documents have been uncovered through the FOIA which state that the subject of 'green fireballs' , "relate to the National Defense of the United States" and "are considered top secret by Intelligence Officers of both the Army and Air Forces".

The study of the green fireballs was put under investigation of "Project Twinkle"

GROUND SAUCER WATCH
It is a UFO Investigation Group.

GRUDGE, PROJECT
GRUDGE Contains 16 volumes of documented information collected from the beginning of the United States investigation of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO's) and Identified Alien Crafts (IAC). The project was funded by CIA confidential funds (non-appropriated) and money from the illicit drug trade. Participation in the illegal drug trade was justified in that it would identify and eliminate the weak elements of our society. The purpose of project GRUDGE was to collect all scientific, technological, medical and intelligence information from UFO/IAC sightings and contacts with alien life forms. This orderly file of collected information has been used to advance the United States Space Program.

GULF BREEZE
Gulf Breeze, Florida is a location where a series of UFO sightings have taken place since 1987, but the most concentrated period of sightings was between November 1987 and May 1988 and were centered around Ed and Frances Walters.

During this period, Ed claims that aliens have attempted to abduct both him and his wife using a blue ray, but failed. He also claims that he knew when another encounter with a UFO was imminent because he would feel a humming noise in his head. When he got this humming noise, he would rush out with his camera and would take a picture of the UFO which would be waiting for him in the sky.

The Walters took a total of forty photos with various cameras over that period and all of them were evaluated by various scientists and were proved that they were not faked. The most impressive photos included a blue ray that was used to transport people to and from the UFOs, a UFO photographed that was partially obscured by a tree (very hard to fake) and also the same UFO hovering above a highway with a reflection on the road of the bright light on the underside of the UFO.

GUESTS
Guests were/are aliens exchanged for humans who gave us the balance of the yellow book. At the time i saw the information there were only 3 left alive. They were called (ALF's) Alien Life Forms.

GYPSIES
Several sources refer to the Gypsies as having some connection with the UFO mystery. Other sources suggest a connection with high-tech subsurface kingdoms such as Agharti, etc. The knowledge which the Gypsies allegedly possess of an ancient war, UFO craft, and so on is supposedly a carefully guarded secret among various Gypsy tribes. Some claim to have traced the Gypsies back to ancient India or surrounding regions. The infamous Philadelphia Experiment information source, Carlos Allenda, was allegedly part of a Gypsy clan with knowledge of past and present "history" on alien cultures which have interacted behind the scenes in Terran affairs (Evadamic).
