The "Second Kind" refers to a classification of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) that are associated with physical evidence. This includes sightings where the presence of a UFO has left behind tangible traces, such as scorched earth, unusual markings, or radiation. These physical effects suggest that the object interacted with the environment in a measurable way. In the context of UFO research, the Second Kind is significant because it provides more concrete data for investigation compared to mere sightings. Researchers often analyze these physical traces to understand the nature of the phenomena, which can include various theories about extraterrestrial life or advanced technology.
