Unconventional Flying Objects unveils Paul R. Hill's compelling journey from a NASA scientist to a groundbreaking researcher of UFO phenomena. After a personal sighting in the 1950s, Hill engineered a flying platform replicating UFO manoeuvres, challenging official silence on the subject. Drawing on years of analysis, this posthumously published work argues that UFOs operate within the laws of physics, making the technology behind them both understandable and achievable.

Paul Hill was a well-respected NASA scientist when, in the early 1950s, he had a UFO sighting. Soon after, he built the first flying platform and was able to duplicate the UFO's tilt-to-control maneuvers. Official policy, however, prevented him from proclaiming his findings. "I was destined," says Hill, "to remain as unidentified as the flying objects.

Unconventional Flying Objects is an excellent reference guide for the researcher, a wake-up call for the sceptic - and a great mystery story for all trying to understand how the UFOs can really work.

Paul Hill was a well-respected NASA scientist when, in the early 1950s, he had a UFO sighting. Soon after, he built the first flying platform and was able to duplicate the UFO's tilt-to-control manoeuvres. Official policy, however, prevented him from proclaiming his findings. "I was destined," says Hill, "to remain as unidentified as the flying objects."

For the next twenty-five years, Hill acted as an unofficial clearing house at NASA, collecting and analysing sightings' reports for physical properties, propulsion possibilities, dynamics etc. To refute claims that UFOs defy the laws of physics, he had to make "technological sense... of the unconventional object."

After his retirement from NASA, Hill finally completed his remarkable analysis. This book, published posthumously, presents his findings that UFOs "obey, not defy, the laws of physics." Vindicating his own sighting and thousands of others, he proves that UFO technology is not only explainable, but attainable.
