This book was written in response to the number of requests to simplify the science of "Black project" aerospace technology often called the UFO phenomenon. This introductory book breaks down the science of the UFO How-To Aerospace Technical Manuals into an easily comprehensible reading, with single examples of the various methodologies, simplified explanations, and a section addressing the most commonly asked questions. Whereas the other books in the UFO How-To Aerospace Technical Manuals are in depth encyclopedias on their given Title topics, "The Basics" gives a concise, direct view with a "sampler plate" approach, touching on the major technologies in propulsion and power systems that operate craft that possess almost supernatural abilities. That glowing ball of light you saw? That propulsion system is in here. The glowing craft streaking across the sky at thousands of miles per hour making hairpin maneuvers--that propulsion system is in here. Plasma thrusters, fusion technology--it's in here.
