Aerial Deceptions 2

Further Quantitative Analysis of UFO (UAP) Phenomena Across Theology and History

What if the most important question about UFOs is not what they are—but how they are interpreted?

Aerial Deceptions, Version 2 expands the analytical framework introduced in the first volume by examining anomalous aerial and encounter reports across multiple centuries, cultures, and interpretive systems. Rather than proposing a single explanation, this book asks a more difficult question: why do radically different historical traditions describe extraordinary experiences in structurally similar ways—and where do those similarities break down?

Building on modern case analysis, Version 2 introduces a transparent scoring framework (the expanded P-Scale) to compare contemporary sightings, historical reports, ancient texts, and folklore without collapsing them into a single theory. Appendices include modern databases, ancient sightings, and pre-modern traditions treated explicitly as stress tests, not proofs. Similarities are measured, differences are preserved, and identity claims are deliberately withheld.

This volume places special emphasis on methodological restraint. Experiences are separated from explanations; narratives are distinguished from interpretations; and historical material is evaluated within its cultural and theological context rather than retrofitted to modern assumptions. Scholars from psychology, religious studies, folklore, and anomaly research are used not to settle the question—but to discipline it.

Aerial Deceptions, Version 2 is written for readers who are dissatisfied with both uncritical belief and reflexive dismissal. It does not argue that all anomalous experiences share a single cause, nor does it insist they are unrelated. Instead, it demonstrates how patterns can be analyzed rigorously without being overinterpreted—and how discernment can be applied without prematurely closing the inquiry.

This is not a book of answers.
It is a book about how answers are too often assumed.
