UFOs and Colour Change.

At night they are primarily visible by self-generated light and only secondarily by reflection, and virtually all colors of the spectrum are reported, with a change in color often observed as the UFO accelerates.'
Dr J Allen Hynek - Speech to the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

The Emerging Picture of the UFO Problem



As Doc Hynek mentions above in his speech to the A.I.A.A sometimes UFOs have been observed changing colour (possibly due to acceleration) and there's some relevant speculative articles and info below about the subject from folks such as NASA's Paul Hill, the Rand Coporation and researchers Otto Binder and Dimitris Hatzopoulos.



Brightness and color changes are also noted, and while the sample is small (82 cases) NICAP found the following: Of the 25 cases showing a change in brightness, 23 of the changes occurred at the moment of a velocity change (a change of either magnitude or direction). Concerning the change of color, 23 cases showed a color change related to acceleration. While the supporting data are not conclusive, it appears that the spectral shift is to the red upon acceleration.

The RAND Corporation, 'UFOs: What to Do'



All UFO colors stem from energetic, ionizing radiation or radiations, generated by the UFO, which ionize the air.
Of all the visible colors, red and orange correspond to the least energy. They are also the two most common colors associated with UFO low-power operation, such as hovering or low-power maneuvers. The electrons have been given the ionization energy, but not much more, and cascade down in small energy drops corresponding to red or orange. This is statistically probable, as there are more small drops available than big ones.

]UNCONVENTIONAL FLYING OBJECTS, A Scientific Analysis by Paul R. Hill



The glow / luminescence in various colours around the UFO (apparently shape depends on UFO's shape as well as its current maneuver, so the UFO's outline as seen by external observer can change), is thought to be due to ionization of surrounding air (atmosphere around the UFO "lights up", much like what happens in neon-lamps), hereafter referred to as "UFO plasma sheath". Brightness/color changes of the "UFO plasma sheath" seem to be related with thrust/acceleration

Color Changes

Now we come to a different and more spectacular category - the UFO's (still mostly seen in the nighttime) that change colors.Here a remarkable pattern emerges in which the color changes are almost certainly related to the UFO's movements - hovering, speeding up, slowing down, descending, ascending, and high-speed acceleration.

A rough scale would relate the colors to motions in this way:

White - when hovering or moving at uniform speed.
Red and orange - when accelerating.
Blue or blue-white - at extremely high speeds.
Green - when making right-angle turns or performing other aerial maneuvers.

Bethune Incident:



Suddenly its angle of track changed, its altitude and size increased as though its speed was in excess of 1,000 miles per hour. It closed in so fast that the first feeling was we would collide in midair. At this time its angle changed and the color changed. It then [appeared] definitely circular and reddish orange on its perimeter. It reversed its course and tripled its speed until it was last seen disappearing over the horizon

Testimony:

Since then I’ve learned from the boys upstairs why we saw different colours as it was coming toward us. The colours were around the perimeter. And it turned from a yellow to an orange to almost a fiery red and then almost a purplish-red. And they said that that had to do with the amount of energy being used or dissipated. It had to do with the UFO power settings. When it slowed down, close to us, in a fraction of a second, it was back to the yellow range. And it was foggy around it or a plasma mist.

Palmar Dam Incident:



Besides the incredible speed did the UFO display any other signals of a possible extraordinary origin?
Yes. A peculiar thing was seeing the object changing colors while increasing its acceleration. It went from yellow to orange then turned red. It moved away at an enormous speed until it disappeared from our sight. In a second attempt to intercept it, the object did the same thing: when the Pucara got closer, the UFO vanished at an incredible speed towards the West. Without much they could do the pilots simply quit the pursuit and returned to the base.



Bariloche Incident:



"At the moment when I started the last descent, I suddenly saw a white light which came directly on us at full speed in front of me, before instantly stopping at a hundred meters. When I started again the manoeuvers, the object made an odd turn to accompany our descent turn and to pace us at a hundred meters of us. After a while, the saucer, the size of an airliner, changed color, two green lights appearing at the ends with an orange gleam in the center which ignited intermittently,"
Flight Captain Jorge Polanco

Karl, great to see you again, this is a good report, I've posted another thread on colours of ufos but changing colours when accelerating is interesting...

When I first began reading about differing colours I wondered if it was an indication of a command input, that of course would also signify that the ufo was unmanned and controlled remotely...

UFO colour change reported by police in this freaky case from Wisconsin in 1975 (narrated by Mr Spock)).




Ashland, WI (AP) - Authorities in a four-county area of Northern Wisconsin have reported several recent sightings of unidentified flying objects, with nine deputies in Ashland and Iron counties saying they saw four UFOs at one time.

At the time of the sightings, officials said, police radios were garbled or went out of service and witnesses said they saw the objects moving, changing colors, and heading toward a common position in the sky..

Ashland County Undersheriff George Ree, who investigated, said he found no evidence of a landing. He left their home and drove about two miles to meet with deputies. Then, he said, he and the deputies saw four UFOs, one brighter than the others. They said the brightest one moved, changed colors, and then became stationary while three smaller objects headed toward it.

Good to see you too matey and very nice to be here - god knows what's going on when it comes to the colour change aspect of these objects but there's certainly some healthy speculation out there - there's also another case here from 1953 where a U.S. pilot witnessed a 'brilliant round white object with small ray-like appendages' descend in a falling-leaf motion - the object then reversed its direction and began to climb using the 'reverse falling-leaf maneuver' whilst changing colour from white to orange.


Also found U.S. Naval Reserve Lieutenant Bethune's comments very interesting when he was discussing 'the boys upstairs'.

I've read descriptions similar of this, appendages coming out and around the ufo but not with an acceleration and colour change like that...Quite an interesting report, it seems this material the object is made of is definitely flexible and possibly could be organic in nature, bioengineered perhaps...

Indeedy mate and very freaky stuff -your comments also put me in mind of this radar confirmed case from RAF Boulmer in 1977 - apparently the British MOD document for this incident was said to be so sensitive that "an extra three years was added to its 25 year release date".

"There were bright objects hanging over the sea.The closest object was luminous, round and four to five times larger than a Whirlwind helicopter.
The objects separated. Then one went west of the other, as it manoeuvred it changed shape to become body-shaped with projections like arms and legs".

Flight Leiutennant A.M. Wood. - RAF Boulmer,Northumberland.
UFO also correlated on multiple radar and witnessed by two RAF personnel

Fundamentally strange stuff mate and not the first time UFOs have stopped wristwatches - policeman Val Johnson's timepiece lost 14 minutes (link) and have also read about them interfering with avionic systems, motors, headlights, radios, house lights, weapons systems and compasses.

The Levelland flap really IS an interesting series of separately located sightings (in the same timeframe all seemingly reporting the same thing) and below is a relevant rebuttal from atmospherical physicist Dr James E. Mcdonald.to the USAF's bullshit ''ball lightning' explanation.

Atmospheric physicist Dr. James McDonald completed a study and determined that there had been no storm in the area, and thus no source of excessive moisture to interfere with the automobiles' electrical systems:
"In a two-hour period near midnight, November 2-3, 1957, nine different vehicles all exhibited ignition failures, and many suffered headlight failures as objects described as about 100-200 ft long, glowing with a general reddish or bluish glow, were encountered on roads in the vicinity of the small community of Levelland, Tex.

This series of incidents became national headline news until officially explained in terms of ball lightning and wet ignitions. However, on checking weather data, I found that there were no thunderstorms anywhere close to Levelland that night, and there was no rain capable of wetting ignitions. Although I have not located any of the drivers involved, I have interviewed Sheriff Weir Clem of Levelland and a Levelland newspaperman, both of whom investigated the incidents that night. They confirmed the complete absence of rain or lightning activity. The incidents cannot be regarded as explained."
With no "severe electrical storm" to "stimulate the populace into a high level of excitement," the official explanation falls apart.

Cheers.
