Glossary (159)

glossaryGlossary is an English word even though its originsa are found in the ancient Roman language: latin: "glossarium, glossa" (foreign word). In fact it indicates a list of often difficult-to-understand words followed by their definitions.

An encyclopedia of any kind cannot be considered complete without providing a comprehensive glossary.

I realized the reader who's not too much into ufology or into the paranormal may stumble upon weird words such as "flap", "orthotenie", or "mat-demat". In an effort to provide an clear resource, this glossary tries to cover most paranormal, scientific, military, ufology-related terms and acronyms.

53. Energy
Energy (from the Greek ἐνέργεια - energeia, "activity, operation", from ἐνεργός - energos, "active, working") is a scalar physical quantity that is an attribute of objects and systems that is conserved in nature. Modern physics states energy exists within matter and that it cannot be created nor destroyed. Since energy is kept, perpetual movement cannot exist.

56. ETH
Extra-Terrestrial Hypothesis. Still very popular among UFO researchers, the ETH school admits the tiny percentage of genuine UFO cases can be explained as extra-terrestrial visitors. While skeptrics point out the vaste interstellar distances, the impossibility to travel faster than lightspeed, the non-straight forward movements of UFOs, the military reports, the informed witness such as Corso and the increasing credibility of life in the Universe are definetly making the ETH a lot more possible.

58. Exobiology

Modern branch of biology that studies the possibility of life in the Universe, on other extra-solar planets. Exobiology aims at understanding four points:

  • the origin and evolution of the Universe.
  • the origin and evolution of living beings on Earth.
  • the distribution of living beings in the known Universe.
  • the existence of living beings on other worlds besides Earth.

59. Exogamy
The mating of individuals who are relatively less related genetically. In ufology, it refers to cases of sexual intercourses between abducted humans and extra-terrestrial humanoids. UFO literature on this topic starts from the Villas Boas case on. If true, it means there is genetic compatibility with some alien cultures.
