A NEW FSR CATALOGUE: The effects of UFOs on Animals, Birds, and smaller creatures Part 1

This document, authored by Gordon Creighton, serves as the first part of a catalogue investigating the effects of UFOs on animals and birds. Creighton notes that his work was inspired by a suggestion from Dr. J. Allen Hynek to compile such cases. He argues that while many UFO reports are dismissed or explained away, the consistent reports of animal terror and behavioral changes in the presence of UFOs warrant serious scientific study. Creighton posits that the 'UFO Phenomenon' may be an environmental factor or an external force that is fundamentally inimical to life on Earth. He expresses frustration with critics, specifically mentioning the Condon Report, Dr. Donald Menzel, and Philip Klass, for their failure to address these specific biological and behavioral anomalies. The document includes a catalogue of 15 historical incidents ranging from the reign of Alexander the Great to 1901. These cases describe various encounters where animals—including horses, cattle, and dogs—exhibited extreme fear, panic, or physical paralysis when in proximity to unidentified aerial objects or 'airships.' The author suggests that these reactions provide evidence of a phenomenon that is not merely a psychological projection but a tangible, albeit mysterious, influence on the natural world.
