UFO Documentaries provide valuable insights into a world that is seldom seen, giving the viewer contact with the dark and shadowy of night time ghosts in the sky. The footage used in these documentaries is often derived from home video with amateur video taken by people unable to expertly utilise a video camera. This means that the work of the documentarian is difficult and for those talented with editing and content appraisal there exists a possibility to make significant amounts of money.

By working with the plethora of amateur footage available, a well constructed and influential documentary can be constructed. The strong claims that will be made by a good UFO documentary can include the presence of government cover-ups and a social interaction between aliens and the top echelons of global power structures. The hierarchies that exist may in fact be controlled by aliens for no reason other than to amuse them and to test their equipment.

With good footage and editing the documentary can be made interesting and informative to even the most skeptical viewer. The power of the video media is immense and the technology for television broadcasting may have been a gift from a benevolent alien species that wished to provide humanity with a new tool and toy with which to entertain itself.

Only with the greatest of care should the documentarian embark on the potentially hazardous and life threatening pathway of filming UFO's. There have been several disappearances and accidents that can be linked to people trying to film UFO related material, and furthermore, the risk of abduction and dismemberment by aliens is drastically increased.

The worst and most dangerous part of the life of a UFO documentarian is the risk of being hassled and discredited by the majority of the television and film production industry, for chasing a marginal possiblity. Similar problems are experienced by cryptozoologists searching for the loch ness monster, the Yeti and the Sasquatch. The area of expertise required in order to become a UFO documentarian means that most UFO filmers are unable to get serious work in the film industry.

By devoting their time to chasing down imaginative and lonely witnesses in parts of the world so remote that the odds of seeing a UFO are higher than seeing another human being the UFO filmer becomes a strange and isolated figure. Being able to rejoin a culture as needed is crucial to the serious interaction with it, and to recognition and appreciation by other masters of the field.

Care should be taken not to marginalise oneself in a culture such as that of the UFO documentaries. The people encountered can be strange and bizarre, but are also often very nice and likable people with a genuine desire to show the world the truth that UFO's exist. Any good UFO hunter will make sure to provide credit where it is due, and is willing to allow others the opportunity to chase leads if they are unable to do so themselves. If the door is closed then information cannot be shared.

If you enjoy remote controlled aircraft, then a remote controlled Silverlit UFO is right up your alley! The Silverlit X-UFO (which doesn’t mean it used to be a UFO, I checked) is really cool-looking and I had to get my hands on it to test it out for myself; needed to see this thing fly. Got out my trust tinfoil hat just in case the thing really used to be a Silverlit UFO and would try something funny with my frequencies – darn that mind-control!

Silverlit is the company that made the “i-Cybie” robotic dog. Now it has a new creation: The Silverlit UFO. It’s an RC UFO/Hovercraft/flying Saucer with a range of 100 yards. The charging time is 100 minutes; you will need an extra battery as it only continuously flies for around 4 to 5 minutes per charge.

Inside the box you will find one Silverlit UFO, two anti-clockwise propellers, two extra clockwise propellers four rings, one rechargeable battery pack, one AC/DC adapter, one automobile adapter, one power charger, one remote control transmitter, one antenna, one instruction manual and one fifteen-minute instructional DVD; I love that it comes with a DVD. The first thing to do before you touch the thing, watch the DVD and read the manual. I think if you don’t watch the DVD you may cause a rip in the time-continuum and possibly end up eradicating existence, I’m not sure, you may just end up crashing hard and breaking it. Either option is more than I’d like to risk.

Of all the remote controlled devices I’ve tried, the Silverlit UFO has the most sensitive controls. The left stick is what controls the throttle; you press that up and down. When you press the left stick left and right that is what controls the yaw or rotation. The right stick, when pressed up and down, controls the forward and backward pitch. When pressing the right stick to the left and right you are controlling the roll.

There are a few things that need to be done before you even get the Silverlit UFO off the ground. You will of course need to charge the battery, you can do a 20 minutes quick charge just to start playing immediately or do the full 100 minutes charge; place the battery in the UFO.

This next step is an important one: pull the throttle all the way to its down position. Now you can turn on the transmitter. Set the Silverlit UFO flat on the ground; if you plan on flying it around outside you should make sure you do so only when there is no more than a gentle breeze. Turn it on with the red marked ring away from you and wait for the flashing “ready” light pattern. Slowly press the throttle up and let your UFO take to the skies.

The Silverlit UFO uses an electro-mechanical gyroscope, which can be reset by pressing the throttle up and down quickly while on the ground, to maintain its balance and stability when it’s flying around. The range on the Silverlit UFO is about 100 yards so you can really have some fun with people in the park, on the RC hobbyist’s plane field or on the beach.

The Silverlit UFOs battery only lasts for about 4 to 5 minutes in flight, but it’s five minutes worth of pure remote controlled paradise! In the instruction manual there’s mention of a mysterious “base station” accessory. I still haven’t figured out what that is supposed to be; perhaps the mothership?

To my great joy, I didn’t lose my Silverlit UFO to any rips in the time continuum (thankfully I watched the DVD) and it didn’t fly off on its own in search of cows or civilians to abduct. All in all I think this is a fantastic big kids’ toy.

The star wars alien races are diverse and varied, but they all have one thing in common. They present a clear and significant danger to the likes of humanity. We have no power to defend against the mind powers of the telepathic aliens and the Sand people or the Hut are formidable traders, scavengers and power mongers.

There is no defense against the Sith and their control of the darker parts of the force, the power of evil. Humanity cannot defend itself from the worst aspects of dark life forces. There are many UFO’s in the world’s history that have done terrible things to humans and cattle. Leaving crop circles and carvings in mountain ranges for historians and enthusiasts to find, puzzle about, and develop theories over.

It is nonsensical for the hardest and sharpest of our minds to be unable to present even a tiny amount of retaliatory defense against any number of the extraterrestrial hazards we face. If we were faced with terrible destruction and painful torture at the hands of Star wars alien races then perhaps we would be motivated to develop a strong defensive capacity. Rather than using the Star Wars laser project to shoot down ICBM’s on earth, we could turn the laser beams skywards and shoot alien spaceships down. Even better we could use the laser beams to guide the ICBM’s to the alien spaceships in order to blanket the invading craft with nuclear oblivion.

Few weapons that we do have would pose any real threat to most of the aliens in the universe, with their antigravity capacity and faster than light travel. An insignificant percentage of the earthly munitions would actually allow for extra-atmospheric combat. The oldest of the minuteman missiles would suffice for near earth combat, were it not for the effect of a high altitude burst leading to massive Electromagnetic pulse and subsequent eradication of telecommunications capacity.

As it stands, our strongest defense against species like the Star Wars alien races is our atmosphere and the low technology. We have failed to even leave this little rock called Earth, and our technological capacity is sufficient only to eliminate the species present on Earth. With our little developed spaceflight technology, there is little threat that humanity can offer to any true masters of interstellar travel. In this fashion our humble little planet shall be preserved in the wake of intergalactic conflict, unless there are resources needed or stray blasts falling in our vicinity.

Even the most zealous of PhD students, working later and later, under the watchful eyes and helpful guidance of their professors cannot imagine the technologies of the UFO masters. With many years of focused research, perhaps the technology that has been deposited here by visitors can be adapted to provide Earth with defensive capabilities. We must hope for this outcome, and strive everyday for new defenses against aliens, for there are hostile alien races out there, intending no good to humanity should they land on Earth.

Quick… what’s more fun than an RC plane? That’s right… a remote control UFO! For RC hobbyists and UFO enthusiasts and even for those who happen to fit into both categories this is pure high-flying RC bliss. There are so many people who are really getting into the RC craze, and adding UFOs to the mix just makes them all the more better. But, there is not just one or two of these toys on the market, there are many variations on this theme.

The Micro RC flying saucer by Thin Geek is unique-looking to say the least. There are four propellers, some scalloped edges, and a few cut-outs. You can move it forward or reverse, to the left or right and even hover and rotate in one place or while moving up and down. The controller has an easier mode to help give a beginner a hand.

For the kids, the RC UFO is tiny at only about 8 grams and smaller than your child’s hand. It looks like a crossbreed between a helicopter and UFO, it has a 2-channel mini propeller and the dual counter-rotating blades give it stability so it’s easier for the younger ones to keep it flying. It can be used either indoors or out and has some flashing LED lights in red, green and blue. Since there are 3 different frequencies you are able to fly three at once.

The MicroFly is not that much bigger than a silver dollar and it is the world’s tiniest flying RC toy. This little UFO easily fits inside your hand and can do take-off vertically. It can also hover and it will fly for about 7 minutes on 10 minutes of charging. There's an LED light on the top and this one is just for indoor use. It requires 6 AA batteries and one awesome feature of this one is that you can swarm your UFOs as one controller will work on several at the same time.

The 4-channel UFO helicopter is no regular helicopter. There are 4 ringed propellers that come together to form an amazing hovering UFO. It can pitch forward or backward, from side to side, spin left and right, and works both outdoors and indoors. It has a 4-channel transmitter, blue and red flashing LEDs, and has a manual with some flying tips. This toy is recommended for kids and adults ages 14 and older.

Sold to businesses as a guerilla marketing tool, and with a whopping $5,000 price tag, the Summit X-Pro definitely isn’t for children. This is a special helium-filled blimp, it is over 8 feet in length and it can hover. There is a color camera attachment, it can display logos and it has a bomb-dropping system for marketing. Fly this around and you may just see it end up in a number of UFO sighting reports.

These are only a few of the many and various UFO RC options for your flying pleasure. Take a look, do a few internet searches. These are definitely “out there!”
