Fastwalkers

Fastwalkers is a term used within the UFO community to describe unidentified flying objects that move at high speeds across the sky.

Fastwalkers have been observed by amateur skywatchers, military personnel, and government agencies around the world. The term “Fastwalker” was allegedly coined by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) in the 1980s to categorize these high-speed unidentified objects. Sightings of Fastwalkers have occurred across different time periods and geographical locations, with some of the most famous incidents taking place in the United States, Russia, and Europe. The phenomenon has captivated the public’s imagination and inspired numerous books, documentaries, and television programs.

Fastwalkers have been reported to travel at extremely high speeds, with some estimates suggesting velocities exceeding tens of thousands of kilometers per hour. Additionally, these objects have been observed to perform sudden, sharp maneuvers that defy conventional explanations based on known physics and aeronautics.

In 2016, the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) received over 5,000 reports of UFO sightings in the United States alone (source: NUFORC). Although not all of these sightings are classified as Fastwalkers, the high number of reported incidents underscores the widespread interest in and curiosity about unidentified aerial phenomena.

In 2017, the New York Times reported on a secret Pentagon program called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) that investigated UFO sightings, including Fastwalkers, from 2007 to 2012 (source: New York Times). This program was funded with $22 million of government money and aimed to determine whether these unexplained aerial phenomena posed a threat to national security.

In 2020, the U.S. Department of Defense officially released three declassified videos of what they called “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAP), which had been previously leaked to the public (source: Department of Defense). The videos show fast-moving objects that seem to defy conventional explanations, sparking renewed interest in the study of Fastwalkers and other unidentified aerial phenomena.

Two experts who have specifically studied Fastwalkers:

1. Dr. Jacques Vallée: A renowned French computer scientist, ufologist, and author, Vallée has been studying the UFO phenomenon for several decades. He has written multiple books on the subject, including “Passport to Magonia: From Folklore to Flying Saucers.” Vallée has advocated for a more scientific approach to studying Fastwalkers and other UFOs, considering them as a part of a broader phenomenon that may involve multiple dimensions, consciousness, and unconventional physics.
2. Dr. Richard Haines: A former NASA research scientist and Chief Scientist for the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP), Haines has focused on the study of UFOs and their potential impact on aviation safety. He has analyzed numerous cases involving Fastwalkers and other unidentified aerial phenomena, advocating for further research and collaboration between the scientific community, government agencies, and aviation professionals.

Books that mention Fastwalkers include:

1. “UFOs and Government: A Historical Inquiry” by Michael Swords, Robert Powell, et al. – This comprehensive book offers a detailed historical account of UFO sightings and government involvement in investigating these phenomena. Fastwalkers are mentioned as one of the categories of unidentified flying objects.
2. “UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities” by John B. Alexander – The author, a retired U.S. Army Colonel, looks into the world of UFOs and discusses the many myths, conspiracies, and realities surrounding the topic. He refers to Fastwalkers as one of the various types of UFOs encountered by military personnel and civilians.
3. “Beyond UFOs: The Science of Consciousness and Contact with Non-Human Intelligence” by Rey Hernandez, Jon Klimo, and Rudy Schild – This book examines the broader implications of UFO sightings and contact experiences from a multidisciplinary perspective. Fastwalkers are mentioned as one type of UFO phenomenon that researchers have studied in the context of consciousness and non-human intelligence.
