"Have probes of extraterrestrial origin conducted surveillance missions in Earth's atmosphere?"


James McDonald, a renowned atmospheric physicist and co-founder of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics at the University of Arizona, presented compelling evidence supporting this hypothesis at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in December 1969. However, remarkably, McDonald's important conjecture has largely faded from the attention of scientists today. This is likely to change, according to former Science Museum (London) curator Tom Williamson, in his book. The reason for this shift is straightforward: a significant portion of the scientific evidence supporting McDonald's idea, much of which was conducted in the former Soviet Union and later Russia and Ukraine during the 1980s and 1990s, has mysteriously disappeared.


Fortunately, thanks to the wonders of Google Translate, Williamson has been able to piece together a provisional, alien-free (and UFOlogy-free) account of this missing science in his book. By meticulously analyzing and translating Russian and Ukrainian scientific publications, Williamson has uncovered a wealth of information that sheds light on the enigmatic phenomenon of UFO sightings and the potential for extraterrestrial surveillance missions in Earth's atmosphere.


Through his research, Williamson has uncovered evidence suggesting that the Soviet Union and its successor states conducted extensive surveillance programs using balloons and other aircraft equipped with sophisticated sensors. These programs were designed to monitor the activities of foreign governments, military installations, and scientific research facilities. The Soviet Union, in particular, had a long-standing interest in UFOlogy and believed that extraterrestrial intelligence was a real possibility.


The missing science includes detailed descriptions of the equipment used in these surveillance missions, as well as the methods and techniques employed to collect and analyze data. Williamson has also uncovered evidence suggesting that the Soviet Union and its allies shared information on these surveillance programs with other countries, including the United States. This collaboration was likely driven by a shared interest in protecting national security and advancing scientific knowledge.


Despite the compelling evidence presented in Williamson's book, there are still some skeptics who argue that the missing science is simply the result of sloppy record-keeping or the disappearance of physical documents. However, Williamson has done a thorough job of documenting his findings and presenting them in a clear and concise manner. He has also collaborated with other researchers and experts in the field to verify his conclusions.


In conclusion, the question of whether probes of extraterrestrial origin have conducted surveillance missions in Earth's atmosphere remains a topic of debate and speculation. However, the evidence presented in Tom Williamson's book suggests that there is a significant body of scientific evidence that supports the possibility of such missions. While the exact nature and purpose of these missions may remain a mystery, it is clear that the search for answers to this intriguing question is ongoing.
