If this is what you mean by "The South American" phenomenon, then my answer to just THAT part of it is: I have the hypothesis that there was a "normal" [I.E. not hostile] claim of a flap in that area which attracted Brazilian military attention. This attention imprinted ideas in the minds of the locals. Some initial local got hurt in the rural bush. Some rumor or claim was made that it was by a UFO. Some sympathetic health worker gave the person TLC, and may or may not have encouraged the thought. Slowly, via stuff like this, it grew into a series of such claims by locals getting treatment and TLC at care stations, or perhaps by one very UFO friendly health worker/administrator. The thing grew in numbers and elaborate claims. Westerners got wind of it, and took "vacation" forays to the area where they were regaled with amazing tales by the administrators and locals alike. Myths were made out of no UFO phenomena other than maybe occasional nocturnal lights. [I have no doubt that people were injured "in the jungle" and needed serious health care, what I doubt is their accompanying tales.]<br /><br />Now if by the South American phenomenon you mean the "hairy dwarves" episodes of the 1954 wave, then I don't read those cases as particularly hostile. In those cases the reports could be read as saying that "we started the fights". Either way, no serious harm befell. If you're talking about something like Fort Itaipu, then the damages seem secondary effects of exposure to the close encounter and still not obviously deliberate. One might as well accuse UFOs of deliberately damaging people like Michalak in the Falcon Lake case if one wants to take that position. <br /><br />The "South American" phenomenon is a bad label unless defined. The whole range of the UFO phenomenon occurs there. <br /><br />Regarding UFO phenomenon favoring sites where blood has been spilled, I'm afraid that I see no evidence for that. Most UFOs manifest high in the air, and Ted Phillips' landing trace catalog shows no such correlation on the ground to my reading. UFOs seem interested in the living not the dead.The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-65970667508501747192013-04-07T19:57:50.016-07:002013-04-07T19:57:50.016-07:00Dear Prof

Your post here also struck a chord with me because i also think UFO phenomena are heavier on sites where much blood has been spilled, Thus my curiosity on South American Cases. As side note , here in Java much of the history is violent too but there is no UFO in the traditional sense, but many many many form of high strangeness usually in traditional 'ghost/apparation/mystical/BoL' stuff.. no silver disc here<br /><br />regards<br />miloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-37557102227209301562013-04-07T06:58:51.538-07:002013-04-07T06:58:51.538-07:00The US military has never released their foo fight...The US military has never released their foo fighter information so that we could even begin to try any correlations.

IIRC europeean history are pretty much bloody since before even the romans and there must be many places of killing on europe. would BoL also prefer sites with war history ?

Some of those same regular contributors have been extremely personally-smearing to me in the past --- most uncollegial --- and I've felt little "warmth" towards them due to that. There's a difference between arguing against an idea and demeaning a person. Many of these people seem to take enjoyment out of personal attacks [particularly when cloaked in a thin veil of academic-sounding verbiage, and safely at a distance.]The Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07811807639219365621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019724693487670016.post-59736634253849645202011-05-25T14:37:10.712-07:002011-05-25T14:37:10.712-07:00Agreed, a high coincidence that the foo-fighters a...Agreed, a high coincidence that the foo-fighters appeared during WW II.
