UFOs: The semiotic lacuna
My fascination with the Zamora/Socorro symbol – no matter
which one is the real insignia he saw on his observed alien [strange] craft –
is not augmented by UFO symbols reported by observers of the phenomenon, and
highlighted in the literature.
Why not?
There is a dearth of credible witnessing of writing or
signs/symbols on UFOs or the alleged uniforms of beings associated with a UFO
encounter.
There are these (which I’ve covered at this blog and
others):

But are their any credible (authentic) signs or symbols ufologists could research (or better, have a qualified expert, a semiotician, review)?

There are none.
The Socorro insignia/symbol is a creation of a human
agency [CIA/Hughes Aircraft].
The UMMO symbol was a hoax.
The Adamski-provided symbols on Orthon’s shoe-imprints and
film slice are contrivances – and not good ones – by “Professor” Adamski.
An absence of signs or symbols can mean a number of things:
UFOs are figments of imagination, where a symbol cannot be
induced, unless hoaxed (as an imagined UFO doesn’t have the linguistic neural,
syntactical connection necessary to replicate a symbol):
Alien [ET] cultures don’t rely on linguistics (where symbols
are an integral part) but use another form of communication (telepathy?):
An extraterrestrial civilization employs emotions (or
something else) to communicate, without a need to verbalize or create language
associations; that is, aliens would not use thought or thinking like the human
model of reason and language, as one sees in whales or dolphins.
The lack of received transmission sounds, verbalizations
(“voices”) in UFO encounters via aircraft or on the ground indicates a
non-hearing kind of communication where one might see symbols employed. But as
there are no such symbols, one has to conclude that UFOs are either a false
phenomenon or space craft containing species so unlike Earthlings that connecting
with them will not be, cannot be, a rational interplay.
Although Betty Hill proclaimed a map and book aboard the UFO
that allegedly abducted her and her husband, Barney, the inclusion of both in
her testimony bespeaks either a confabulation or an induced hallucination
anchored in human reality, not alien reality.
While a few UFO encounters [the 1967, Police Officer
Schermer episode, for example, where a serpent insignia was seen on an alien
uniform -- http://www.ufoevidence.org/cases/case659.htm
-- such imagery comes by way of hypnosis and, thus, have the intrusions of
memory material implicit in them.
Of course, any supposed recorded (witnessed)
extraterrestrial intrusion might be an observation of a civilization so removed
from a need for linguistics, and symbols or signs, that to expect any is a
human projection only.
With odds against ET visitation – Earth is too
inconsequential for the many reported UFO sightings – a lack of symbols seen on
the tangible phenomenon is either caused by that lack of neural ability to
insert symbols or signs upon an hallucinated vision or UFOs are a phenomenon
devoid of communication aspects; that is, a natural or unknown amorphous
phenomenon.
