extraterrestrial hypothesis
The extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH) is the claim that some unidentified flying objects (UFOs) are best explained as being physical spacecraft occupied by extraterrestrial life or non-human aliens from other planets visiting Earth. As yet, no widely-accepted evidence exists to support these claims.
==Etymology==
Origins of the term ''extraterrestrial hypothesis'' are unknown, but use in printed material on UFOs seems to date to at least the latter half of the 1960s. French ufologist Jacques Vallee used it in his 1966 book ''Challenge to science: the UFO enigma''. It was used in a publication by French engineer Aimé Michel in 1967, by Dr. James E. McDonald in a symposium in March 1968〔http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=WWNkAAAAIBAJ&sjid=d3wNAAAAIBAJ&pg=892,4105658&dq=extra-terrestrial-hypothesis&hl=en〕 and again by McDonald and James Harder while testifying before the Congressional Committee on Science and Astronautics, in July 1968.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Testimony of Dr. J A Harder before the Congressional Committee on Science and Astronautics, 29 July 1968 )〕 Skeptic Philip J. Klass used it in his 1968 book ''UFOs--Identified.''〔http://books.google.com/books?id=u9bS1YhiSa4C&q=%22extraterrestrial+hypothesis%22&dq=%22extraterrestrial+hypothesis%22&hl=en&ei=CCBCTeHaMITGsAPDwuHgCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CDgQ6AEwAg〕 In 1969 physicist Edward Condon defined the "Extra-terrestrial Hypothesis" or "ETH" as the "idea that ''some'' UFOs may be spacecraft sent to Earth from another civilization or space other than earth, or on a planet associated with a more distant star," while presenting the findings of the much debated Condon Report. Some UFO historians credit Condon with popularizing the term and its abbreviation "ETH".
