Hello everyone,

It is with great pleasure that I announce one of the greatest features to The Black Vault - a new Case File Database.  In short, this database allows investigators, researchers and eyewitnesses to add valuable case files to the internet, whether they be a unusual military, UFO, Ghost, or other Paranormal type sighting.

Check out the new system at: http://www.theblackvault.com/m/events/home/

There are some amazing features to explore, which include the ability to upload videos, photos, documents, witness testimony, and whatever else you may need, but it also maps out the entire database on a global system - allowing you to view cases in your area, or anywhere in the Globe.  To take it a step farther, the mapping system is actually hooked into Google Street View and Google Satellite View, so researchers can literally view the landscape or walk around the area where the sighting took place -- all in The Black Vault Case File Database.

Some of the other features including browsing the files by country, region or state, browse them by date, search by keyword, or even add yourself as a witness to an event

I invite you all to check out the new system, and contribute your own case files and sightings that you have encountered. 

I appreciate your time, and I believe this resource can strongly revolutionize the way we categorize and catalogue this type of data.

Please submit any feedback you have to me at john@greenewald.com

Sincerely,

John Greenewald, Jr.

In special reports, this week's files cover Scientific World Views, Dr. Peter A. Sturrock, Stanford University,Wilbert Smiths' Top Secret Canadian UFO Memo, Mormon prophet Joseph Smith, Mars Inca City, Green Fireballs, "The Roswell Legacy by Jessie and Linda Marcel, Tiwanaku Bolivia, May be the Oldest City, Yahweh (God) and His Flying Machines, U.S. Naval Commander: We'll Stop Iran from Mining Hormuz Strait, Argentina and California UFOs Similar, and Invitation to Seth Shostak of Seti is Turned Down

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Alabama, Alaskan, Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, and Texas.

Sightings of UFOs were also reported in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Mexico, and England in the United Kingdom.

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Scientific World Views .. Earth is Center of Universe.

For several thousand years scientific thought believed the Earth was stationary and the center of the universe with five planets, the sun, and stars revolving around our Earth. Aristotle was the chief component of this thinking and anyone observing the world around them could agree with  this philosophy including the church from 300 BC to 1600 AD. The belief was based on sound reasoning and observation. The earth did not appear to moving as the sun, planets and stars rotated around it, though this scientific fact turned out to be wrong. Along came the invention of the telescope and Newton's scientific principles that the Earth revolved around the sun, and our sun was just one of many suns.

The Newtonian world view is what we are operating under today, although science is changing with some new findings. Just take a minute and observe the world around us. We are told the Earth is moving around the sun at thousands of miles an hour. I'm seated here looking at the sunset in the Florida Keys, and there is a slight breeze. I have no real evidence our Earth is moving and what I'm told is true. Science is just starting to accept there may be intellect life outside Earth.

Our search for the truth concerning UFOs is difficult because the world view for most people does not include the large UFOs that I have observed. Ufology has a difficult task in gaining acceptance of its evidence for the existence of UFOs simply due to the average scientist's worldview that cannot accept the concept of extraterrestrial visitors or UFOs. Our world view does not really allow for alien space visitors because scientific thought simply believes the distances between planets are too vast for any visitors to reach Earth. The internet, mass media, letters to the editor, better evidence, and our testifying will hopefully change people's world view that we are not alone.

Dr. Peter A. Sturrock, Stanford University

"The definitive resolution of the UFO enigma will not come about unless and until the problem is subjected to open and extensive scientific study by the normal procedures of established science.

In their public statements (but not necessarily in their private statements), scientists express a generally negative attitude towards the UFO problem, and it is interesting to try to understand this attitude. Most scientists have never had the occasion to confront evidence concerning the UFO phenomenon.
Emeritus Professor of Space Science and Astrophysics and Deputy Director of the Center for Space Sciences and Astrophysics at Stanford University

Wilbert Smiths' Top Secret Canadian UFO Memo Now Public

Through the diligent research efforts of researcher Nick Balaskas, a draft of the original "Project Magnet" Top Secret Memo by Director Wilbert Smith, Senior Radio Engineer in the Canadian Department of Transport to his superiors in November 1952. The memo has been recovered from the Archives at the University of Ottawa and represents a different World View.

The memo was the beginning of the Canadian government official program (Project Magnet) to investigate flying saucers that Wilbert Smith headed up from December 1950 to August 1954.

Wilbert Smith had Canadian proof in the reality of flying saucers visiting Earth. In the memo, Smith outlined five key items about flying saucers that he had discovered while in discussions with top U.S. officials working on the flying saucer problem. These were:

Mormon prophet Joseph Smith

Kenneth Larson writes that Joseph Smith (1805-1844) worldview changed when he met extraterrestrial visitors. As a 14-year-old boy he had been praying in a wooded glen near Palmyra, New York, on about September 26, 1820. Smith said, he looked up and saw a bright object in the clear sky that grew in magnitude, slowly descended, lit tree branches in bright color, and landed on the ground. Two brilliant Personages appeared standing in the air looking exactly alike and made clear by voice that they were the glorious Father God and His Son Jesus Christ.

Also, the visiting angel or space visitor Moroni visited Joseph Smith about eight times between September 21-22, 1823 to 1827 and gave Joseph advanced information of a religious nature and that Joseph had been chosen by the Lord God to receive religious information that would enlighten the human race on earth. So the Snowflake UFO of November 5, 1975, could have had a basis in religion or possibly related to the possible UFO with occupants that visited Mormon Joseph Smith in 1820. Out of this came the two books The Book of Mormon and Pearl of Great Price and information about ancient Egypt and the planet Kolob near the chief planet where God resided and stars and astronomy, gold plates, Hill Cumorah, Urim and Thummim, and the religious themes of Joseph Smith and his dedicating on August 3, 1831 of Independence, Jackson County, Missouri, as the site of the glorious New Jerusalem. So seem to involve religious matters as well as historical records, astronomy, science, ancient Egypt and Israel, astrophysics, and the recent discovery by scientists of over 33 exoplanets similar in shape and temperature to our planet Earth and the exploration of space and other worlds, etc. Thanks to Kenneth Larson

Gary Mansfield writes, "I have seen, documented, and analyzed more investigative sightings and digital footage than I wish I had ever become aware. I repeatedly find myself at odds end with people that are professionally dismissive, not to say the least obnoxious in their classical scientific disregard for any acknowledgement in what is obvious and true observational and objective field data. What I have repeatedly been confronted with in our extensive research are representations of biologic and highly intelligent objects, as exhibited by their responsive and interactive behaviors, not to disregard their strange morphing and often audible recorded signatures. Sounds too real to be true? Yes, that is exactly where I to first began this journey. But they do exist, and they are constantly in transit above our heads, and thru our skies in a seemingly curious and observational attitude. Open your eyes people! The truth is just beyond your fears of seeing and truly believing! Thanks to Gary Mansfield, Field Investigator.

Mars Inca City

Norman Bryden writes, "With the damage being done to our world don't people think being honest about civilization on Mars would be the smart thing to do? The Martian landscape is quite revealing and says many things about the integrity of the scientific community. Being dishonest about life beyond Earth erodes the public's trust. There's no shame in correcting the error. This area of Mars named Inca City by NASA appears to show intelligent life. Perhaps it's time to put away the anti-science and get on with the science of Mars and extraterrestrial life for it seems so far no damage to our world is enough for many alleged scientists to admit the facts. If they had the courage and ability they could be open and honest about the data as other worthy scientists have been in the past. The reason science is in such big trouble is due to the dishonesty in the scientific community. Earth has the need to know.

Editor's Note: NASA plans to drop nearly $310 million from the budget for its Planetary Science division in 2013, a 20 percent cut that affects future missions to Mars. The administration is cutting the budget making it less likely of any announcement of life on Mars,

Green Fireballs

George, How much have you investigated green fireballs? I am working with investigators about my sighting back in 2002... I saw a green fireball up close and personal... What I saw was not any space junk or meteor entering or skipping off the earth's atmosphere... What I saw was exactly what looked like a giant chrome ball bearing only made out of liquid.. The leading edge was rippling...It was bigger than a Volkswagen...long neon green tail and was dropping sparks on the neighbor's trees and made a hissing sound like a tire losing air. Thanks to Ben Garfield

Note: It is my opinion these are alien probes and not asteroids. The craft appear to use nanotechnology and miniaturize until they choose to expand to full size. Regards, George Filer

Argentina and California UFOs Similar

Aquasol -- On January 25, 2012, Mr. Moreno was testing a Motorola cellular MB525. His companion warned about the presence of an UFO so he swung around and took this photo.

Paradise -- Doug Depue writes, "The Argentine photo in last week's Filer's Files resembles the type of UFO I encountered on November 13, 1959, Friday the Thirteenth, at the Big Oak Flat area of Paradise Ranch in California. I am adding scans of my article in British UFO magazine concerning this sighting plus a slide scan of the Big Oak Flat. Regards, Doug Depue

U.S. Naval Commander: "We'll Stop Iran from Mining Hormuz Strait

Vice Admiral Mark Fox, commander of the U.S. 5th Fleet reports, "Iran has increased the number of small, fast patrol craft in the Strait of Hormuz, some of which have been outfitted with a large warhead for a suicide run at U.S. vessels. It also has boosted the number of mobile coastal-defense cruise missiles. They have a capability, and we take that capability very seriously and are prepared for it. The U.S. Navy would move to stop any Iranian attempt to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz as an "act of war the international community wouldn't tolerate. Iran's inventory of thousands of mines "represents an indiscriminate and very difficult maritime problem, comparable to the improvised roadside bombs used in Iraq and Afghanistan to kill U.S. troops.' Fox told reporters at his Bahrain headquarters.

Threats by Iranian officials that Iran could close the Persian Gulf by blocking the Strait of Hormuz is a sign that international isolation and sanctions are taking a toll on Iranian leaders, but probably do not indicate Tehran's intention to launch such an attack except under extreme circumstances, such as an Israeli or US airstrike on its nuclear facilities. The threat is probably part of a larger Iranian strategy to deter attacks on its nuclear program by threatening to stop oil shipments. A growing discontented Iranian population needs someone to blame for their declining economic conditions upon. Riots and the killings of key nuclear scientists may be part of a growing anti-government trend. Thanks to Newsmax.com

Tiwanaku Bolivia, South America May be the Oldest City

Tiwanaku or Tiahuanaco is a mystery because of its age estimated to be 17,000 years old and its spectacular stone technology. Today there is little doubt that Tiwanaku was a major sacred ceremonial centre and focal point of a culture that spread across much of the region. Tiwanaku is an important Pre-Columbian archaeological site in western Bolivia. Tiwanaku is recognized by Andean scholars as one of the oldest and most important precursors to the Inca Empire.

The ruins of the ancient city state are near the south-eastern shore of Lake Titicaca, located 45 miles west of La Paz.

Gateway of the Sun, Tiwanaku

Tiwanaku is thought to have been a moral and cosmological center to which many people made pilgrimages. The ideas of cosmological prestige are the precursors to Tiwanaku powerful empire.^.. In 1945, Arthur Posnansky an engineer who spent years studying the ruins estimated that Tiwanaku dated to 15,000 BC using archaeo-astronomical techniques. The blocks, many of them weighing upwards of 200 tons, are in some cases held together by large metallic, I-shaped couplers.

Others were held together by silver rivets. The system used here is reminiscent of that used in the Egyptian ruins on Elephantine Island on the Nile. Most researchers believe that the metal was actually poured into I-shaped slots carved into the rock using melted metal.

Some of the docks and piers in this area are so large that hundreds of ocean going ships could dock comfortably; yet there is only a Lake Titicaca. Nothing oceanic' is near these docks except a prehistoric coastline indicated by chalky deposits of ancient salt water fossils. Lake Titicaca, languishing miles away, is nearly 100 feet lower than the ruined docks. A tremendous geological upheaval occurred several thousand years ago raising the entire region ten thousand feet above its former coastline and tumbling these huge stones. But could a sudden, violent tilt of the axis of the earth occurring some 12,000 years ago have been responsible? Geologist will not admit to such an occurrence in spite of the evidence as outlined in Geology

Tiwanaku location between the lake and dry highlands provide key resources of fish, wild birds, plants, and herding grounds for animals particularly llamas. The Titicaca Basin is the most productive environment in the area with predictable and abundant rainfall, which the Tiwanaku culture learned to harness and use in their farming.

In the earliest farming known in America, the high altitude required the development of artificially raised planting mounds separated by shallow canals filled with water. The canals supply moisture for growing crops, but they also absorb heat from solar radiation during the day. This heat is gradually emitted during the bitterly cold nights that often produce frost, providing thermal insulation. Significantly, the experimental fields recreated by University of Chicago's Alan Kolata suffered only a 10% decrease in production following a 1988 freeze that killed 70-90% of the rest of the region's production.

Large buildings with 20 ton stones fit perfectly together as shown when a needle cannot even penetrate between the stones.

The elites of Tiwanaku lived inside four walls that were surrounded by a moat. This moat, some believe, was to create the image of a sacred island. Inside the walls there were many images of human origin that only the elites were privileged to visit, despite the fact that images represent the beginning of all humans not only the elite.

 Arthur Posnansky estimated that Tiwanaku dated to 15,000 BC, the ruins matching astronomical alignments 17,000 years old. The ancient people built a stone pyramid known as the Akapana that is cross-shaped pyramidal structure that is 257 m wide, 197 m broad at its maximum, and 16.5 m tall. At its center, there is what appears to have been a sunken court.

Looters excavation has damaged the pyramid. The exact identity of the ancient builders is unknown. The largest stone block within the Akapana, which consists of andesite, is estimated to weigh 65.70 metric tons. Tahuanaco is another ancient civilization whose timeline came and went, leaving behind megalithic monuments that are without explanation as to their mathematical design and construction. Considered by some as the oldest city in the world, much of Tiwanaku's creation defies the laws of physics and mathematics even by today's standards. Many monuments bear close resemblance to those created by other ancient cultures. According to anthropologists dark unsophisticated cavemen and hunters roamed the Earth at this time. Yet we can visit the ruins of once majestic cities and pyramids with stones weighing thousands of tons.

As with many other sacred sites throughout the planet Tiwanaku remains an enigma indicating visitors from other planets or the very least ancient civilizations left behind by unknown beings and carvings of unknown or ancient animals...

Invitation to Seth Shostak of SETI is Turned Down

Dr. Harry Willnus writes, "I've been following the UFO phenomenon for over 55 years. I heard Hynek speak and I recall he noted that Seth Shostak who is associated with the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) had limited knowledge of the UFO field. I'll be attending the 21st Annual International UFO Congress Convention in Scottsdale, AZ from Feb. 22-26. I have offered pay for a full ride for Seth Shostak to attend.

Dr. Seth Shostak Senior Astronomer, SETI Institute wrote, " Thanks, Harry, but I think I'll pass on this.

Sightings in the United States

Alabama UFO

HUNTSVILLE -- On February 9, 2012, at work a couple saw something floating in the sky and a slow movement they know it was a UFO. It was very low and no sound, of the craft early to night, thanks to Carol & Leo LaPlante

Alaska Red lights

Anchorage -- Robert Mackey writes, "Finally the snow has been cleared, on the highway to Seward, for the first time in months, and I was totally amazed about a new fault line down the highway for miles on end. There was a large crack in the highway about two inches wide going on for miles. It was crazy because the highway had just been repaved in the last five years. The earth is moving underneath creating huge cracks, and in some places the highway has been lifted as I drove down it. There were five wrecks on the way to Anchorage today/ Police and emergency crews had their hands full. Water was pooling all over the highway making travel very dangerous on a newly redesigned highway thanks to Robert Mackey. On January 23, 2012, red lights came over the mountains in line formation.

Arizona Light

PARKER -- My wife called me outside at 7:15 PM on February 8, 2012 to observe a light that was moving south across the eastern sky. I grabbed my camera and got a few photos before it disappeared. The best of the group is included. It is the bright light in the center of the photo. It stopped and then ascended, headed east, and disappeared. It was at least 1/2 mile distant and of a similar height. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Disc and Rectangle

SAN FRANCISCO -- I was with my mom and son at Pier 39 and decided to take a picture of Alcatraz Island to post on Face- book from my Droid Bionic on full zoom. I never noticed the object in the sky until I looked at the picture.

It is to the left of the picture. Thanks looking into this matter. I thought it was quite significant. Regards, John M. Poulson

CHINA LAKE -- J.S. writes, "On February 8, 2012, I saw this thing again circling the town and base. Its lights were flashing like a police light bar and there was a blue halo around the red ventral light. It flew with what looked like a wing at a 30 degree offset to its direction and would occasionally crab' and move diagonally to its direction. I waved at it as it stopped dead in its tracks, for as long as I kept waving. Then it started to creep slowly forward in spurts as I stopped waving and continued on its journey moving counter clockwise across the town. It had a blue halo around its red ventral light and stayed in the area for an hour. Thanks to J.S.

Florida Lights

FORT LAUDERDALE -- I went out to put a letter in the mail box on February 7, 2012, when I saw a bright white light above my neighbor's house in the distance. It changed to a bright orange color and started to pulsate. I went inside to get my Mom, and her boyfriend and they both saw it for at least five minutes. I continued to look at the object taking several pictures on my cell phone. It wouldn't stay in one spot, but flew around, ascending and descending for at least 30 minutes. A few times it completely flickered off and back on again. After about 45 minutes it went below my field of vision behind my neighbor's house. When I looked at my pictures and noticed another green light higher up that showed up in the pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Indiana UFOs

ROSSVILLE -- I got home from work around 11:45 PM, and noticed a blinking human craft in sky. I saw another ufo two nights ago but did not report it. I stepped out of my car and stood outside freezing for an hour observing three ufos in separate parts of the sky. They had very bright green lights with some kind of orange flashing lights. I used binoculars but I could only make out two lights. There was a stealth bomber shaped craft with regular flashy lights low to ground circling the area. The most prominent ufo just hovered and veered from left to right and up and down and glowed blue green. I was alarmed by the howling of every animal in my neighborhood every couple of minutes. The way the brightest ufo seemed to maneuver like it was evading some type of attack, perhaps from the obvious human aircraft circling around the sky. I had to go inside because I was freezing to death. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Massachusetts Huge Craft

Easthampton -- Driving north on Route 5 in Holyoke, at 8:15 PM, on February 2, 2012, I noticed lights obscured by trees to the east. Initially I thought it was a large military aircraft; a C-5A flying very low. Once it cleared the trees on a southwest path, it crossed over my car. It was dark so I could only see lights and a bit of a wing. It was extremely large, bigger than a C-5 and it was a swept wing with no distinguishable tail.

There were three very large white lights, one on each wing and one on the front that were not blinking. There was one smaller red light on the belly that was blinking steadily. As it passed over my car it was completely silent. There was no sound of an engine or distinguishable power source. It continued southwest and I lost sight of it. Thanks to http://www.ufocasebook.com/

New Jersey Lights

MINOTOLA -- I was working in my shop in my back yard on January 27, 2012, and heard a low flying jet plane flying over. I went out to take a look at the aircraft but could not see but noticed a bright white light moving to the southeast. The light was as bright as the sun but very small, silent, and about four miles away moving towards clouds to the south. I ran to get my camera and just caught it before it moved into the clouds fully. I tried to get a second shot but it moved into the thick of the clouds.

I then looked at the picture and barely saw the object on the LCD screen, but when I zoomed into the object I expected to see a plane, but I saw three points of light! This case is under investigation by Ken Pfeifer of MUFON New Jersey.

New York Orbs

LONG ISLAND -- Martha Nassauer writes, "I already reported seeing these white orbs every night when it is clear. These lights do amazing things, intercepting each other, and maneuvering, putting on a new show every time I watch. My family and friends have also witnessed these orbs. When I see an orb shooting across the sky it always seems to be accompanying a "shooting star. Thanks to your links I was able to find plasma beams, and that we are witnessing a war of sorts, between our technology and "theirs.

My only issue is why our government being so quiet about it? If I am able to see these EVERY night, than surely I am not the only person. I was very concerned about one recent incident where a round orb that was dark in the center came directly over my head. I felt it was able to detect I was monitoring it that evening with my telescope. I would like to know if these objects are dangerous. I have numerous stories to report. I would gladly invite you, or anyone from your organization to visit us here on the eastern end of Long Island, New York, so you can see them for yourself. Thanks to Martha Nassauer

North Carolina Bright Object

HICKORY -- On the night of February 7th 2012 I went outside to look at the full moon and noticed a very bright object to the northwest that seemed to hover and flicker as if spinning. After watching for about five minutes all of a sudden a fire ball shot from this object. I went inside to get a camera to try to photograph this object. I used my Sony Sure Shot 8 Meg. to try to get a picture. I took several as I tried to zoom in closer to this bright light. To my surprise when I downloaded the pictures to my computer I was amazed to see that one of the pictures looked like some type of craft, round in shape with a bulging center, the color of the center was green. This object hovered as if hanging around for several hours and just disappeared. I wasn't scared as I have met several people in this field and I just wanted to document this object. I am told that I live in a Hot Bed for anomalous activity, so I am always looking up when time permits. I do know it is not a plane, remote toy, hot air balloon, etc. I really don't think we are alone in this world as I have witnessed many strange anomalies in my area for the past several years.

Tennessee Moving Orange Light

Orange Light is moving from left to right. This is just a few of the photos.

Pauline writes, "Moving image to the Mountain? It is a series of other orange blimp like' images. You can follow the progression of it as it heads toward the Viking Mountain Range and then to the right. This thing was an orange star looking thing in the same place and position for several months but because of its twinkling colors I would take a picture of it now and then. One night it started to move! I couldn't believe it as I had gotten myself thinking it was just a star... It moved ever so slowly...just like the recent image of what I labeled 'blimp'!

The TWO incidents were basically visually the same. The difference was, one stayed as I saw and pictured it, the recent one the camera picked up the weird changes as BOTH headed 'toward' the lighted area tower on the mountain, but the one that had been a star for so long also had another light above the mountain. The recent one moved 'along the top ' of the Mountain and it too headed toward the tower. There also was another lighted image that in the pictures was blue. When the 'blimp' got closer, toward the light is when it made changes and flew past the lighted area and straightened out again. Thanks to Pauline Petsel [morningsunshine354@msn.com]

Worldwide UFO Reports

Australia Moving Bright Stars

Warnbro -- Dr Phillip Arena writes, "On February 6, 2012, at exactly 2AM, I stepped outside to let the dog out and cast my eyes up to the Southern Cross, and saw a bright star with a faint golden tinge to it. It occurred to me that there are no stars that bright in that location (much brighter than Sirius). I therefore looked back and the star was gone. However, as I continued to look at that area, there were now three small stars, clearly moving. Two stars moved slowly towards each other and the third moved in an arc around the lower of the two stars (at a faster pace). They literally appeared as stars and therefore must have been moving incredibly fast. I watched them for 30 seconds and went back into my house and grabbed binoculars and camera, but the stars vanished. Thanks to Dr Phillip Arena

Brazil Triangle

I noticed this YouTube video from Brazil did not mention the two ufo's in the sequence. It may be missed because the speed of transit is so fast, but frame by frame, the second UFO a wedge or triangular shaped unit transits before the explosion' and after it occurs. Three frames at 1:02 and three frames at 1:15.

Is this a US attack craft? Anyone with some calculating ability could determine the speed and distance based on the vehicle ground traffic on the highway. The 2^nd ufo vector changes in 1/30 of a second Thanks to Michael in Burnaby BC Canada

Germany Disc

In August 13, 2011, I flew from Budapest to London when I made this photo. Another airplane flew near us, so I did not look at the object near the high cloud.

I just focused on the clouds and the wing. A few days later I noticed what is on the photo.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mexico Separate Videos

Tijuana -- Residents witnessed a spectacular multicolored UFO-OVNI on February 7, 2012. After a little while the camera stops moving and the object is moving erratically. Also the people in the video seem pretty genuine with their comments and reactions.

A new UFO-OVNI video filmed in Tijuana is flat out amazing; it was larger than a jet with bright multicolored flashing lights that put on a spectacular show. A second video of the same object was posted by another witness and the video is pretty impressive and other people' in Tijuana witnessed the UFO. Thanks to http://www.ufocasebook.com/

Spain Jet Fighters Chase UFO

Mediterranean Sea -- In a video, two Spanish military jet fighters are videoed chasing a UFO over the Mediterranean Sea in Western Europe. This video was published on 27 January 2012, and was recorded by fishermen.

                 Magnetometer measures abnormal high value of local magnetic field  during simultaneous observation of an unidentified flying object

            In 2008  the 9^th of October, around 22h00 local time , a registration took place of an  

            extreme high value of the local geomagnetic field

            The Bx component was measured by means of a ringcore fluxgate magnetometer in

            our local, private observation station in Sint Katelijne Waver , Belgium

            The total duration of the magnetic anomaly was 7 minutes.

            After the event, recalibration of the magnetometer by means of a Helmholz coil

            system took place confirming the correct measurement value .

            Raising the magnetic field to a total value of 60 microTesla , 40 microTesla above

            the normal value of the Bx component was real.

            Comparing the registration of Dourbes indicates clearly that the anomaly was very

            local. In Dourbes ,on a distance of more than 100Km ,there was no effect .

            On the right moment of the event ,there was no explanation for it at all.

             A week later there was an e-mail from Caelestia , Antwerp questioning

            if  it was possible for looking at some possible disturbance in the magnetic

            field without saying anything more.  Indeed it was!

            A lady and her daughter had reported a visual observation of an unidentified

            flying object to the “ melding point “ of there organization.

            The visual observation took place at approximately 1Km away from our

            magnetic station.

            Big surprise was that the time window for the visual observation was exactly the

            same as for the magnetic anomaly.

            Interrogation of the witnesses resulted in the explicitly denying that it was a

            classic airplane, no wings, no tail , no pulsating navigation lights at all.

            She described it as an oval object with quite a lot of bright lights on its

            perimeter and  making no noise .  It was so strange  that she and also her 

           daughter  became very frightened .

            This is the story that gave start to the following investigation report.

            Initially it was the purpose of proving it was possible to an amateur to build a

magnetometer instrument with limited means and with a  minimal knowledge

            of the necessary physics of electronics and magnetism.

            After some time of fighting instability problems it became possible making

            registrations with the same accuracy as those of our official station in Dourbes.

            In 2004 , November 9^th  came the confirmation during the magnetic storm due to

            a sun-eruption a few day’s before.

            Comparing point by point it showed the same picture between our registration and

            that of Dourbes: thereby proving the possibility of  building an accurate home made

            instrument.

            After November 9^th  the equipment stayed in service with reduced sensitivity

            Registrations were made each day until in 2008 on October 9^th a very big anomaly

            took place. It happened after approximately 10 year of operation .

           Report of a geomagnetic anomaly 

                                 Place : Sint Katelijne Waver    --   Belgium

                                 Time:  October  9^th   2008

                                             21h50  Local Time

                                  Measurements:  executed with ringcore –fluxgate

                                                              magnetometer

                                  Calibration : with Helmholz  coil configuration

                               Registration of Bx component of geomagnetic field

                               Coordinates:  51 degrees 4 minutes  7 seconds   North

                                BUFON  Workgroup Metrology   :  Magnetic Events    

1.     Introduction: magnetometry  : measuring discipline for studying physico-magnetic

                                                       events.

                            geomagnetism:  study of earth-magnetic field behaviour

                             magnetometer : measuring equipment for determination and

                                                      quantization of magnetic events.

2.     Magnetometer

Among different kinds of magnetic measurement devices , those of the type

“fluxgate ‘is chosen in our research .

3.     Earth magnetic field:

The earth magnetic field is a quasi stationary vector field during low sun

activity periods.  The slow varying flux results in practical no induced voltage

in a simple coil detector . So a special solution has to be used, namely a flux-

gate magnetometer .

4.     Ringcore- fluxgate magnetometer:

This type is usable for the job

The sensor is made of a set of 2 windings over a fully closed magnetic core:

one winding for excitation purpose and the second one as detection coil.

The excitation winding is supplied with a symmetrical rectangular waveform

driving the core alternatively in saturation for both polarities of the voltage.

Returning out of the saturation pulses are produced in the detection winding

equally in amplitude with no external magnetic flux present

Any external field e.g. a magnetic field component Bx (= 20microTesla) ,will influence the produced pulses in a way that for one polarity there is an adding effect and for the other one a diminishing  effect .This asymmetry in the detection winding, due to the external field ,will create a net value proportional to the external field component. Integration and amplification act give an exact image of this external field , in our case the Bx component of the geomagnetic field .Digitizing and amplifying by a 10bit AD converter and Compaq Laptop results in a final print out

5.     Detection station at Sint Katelijne Waver

A visit to the Geophysical Station of the KMI  ( Royal Institute of Meteology) in Dourbes  represents the beginning idea of  building a home-made station

It was clear that is should be possible to build one if the minimum knowledge of

magnetism and electronics is present.

The choice of a location in Sint Katelijne Waver was not an obstacle due to the rural character of the region . There is no heavy industry and other disturbing activity is not present at the moment. In the beginning results were compared with those of Dourbes on a daily base as well with other amateur stations from the SAM group in the Netherlands and Germany .

In 2004 there was a serious magnetic storm on November the 9^th. This was THE opportunity to compare in detail our own registrations point by point  with those of Dourbes .The result of this analysis affirmed correctness of our measurements and affirms the possibility of running a home-made station with good result.

6.     Technical evaluation

The frequency of the pulses injected in the excitation coil is 1200c/s

The Nyquist criterion indicates then that de usable bandwidth for analog content in the signal is 600c/s. After this first sampling follows an integration of the pulses to determine the slowly varying component in the signal.

Very fast sampling with an AD converter is executed on this slowly varying signal and the mean values between two successive minutes stored over a period of 24 hours. The print-out shows the slowly varying component plotted each minute.

Our installation possesses only 1 measurement channel that means that there are only data for 1 component of the field namely the Bx component  (20microTesla).

Dourbes measure not only the Bx component  but also the two other By and Bz.

The amplitude of those three components from the geomagnetic field are practical the identical from place tot place at the same latitude that means on a global base.

A local disturbance will not be detected as such when the distance to the station is to great  ( due to the cubicle attenuation by the distance).

 
7.     The station in SKW (Sint Katelijne Waver) as possible UFO Detector

In studying reports of UFO phenomena the lack of measured data took my attention. Some characteristics are luckily well known for the disc like UFO as the very strong dipole magnetic field (100Tesla) and also the magnitude of it in the near proximity of the object where the Faraday effect reveals this high value.

The Sint Katelijne Waver event on 2008 October shows clearly very high peak

at 21h50 local time lasting for a total 7 minutes : in detail 2 peaks 4 minutes separated from each other .

          The local measured value has an amplitude of 60microTesla that is 40microTesla above

           the normal quiet value of the Bx component (20microTesla ).

           Some calculations ,supposing a source value of 100 Tesla on a distance of 2.5Km gives , a raising of 40 microTesla above the normal 20 microTesla is exactly the measured value!

That was the second surprise!

After  detection of the anomaly we  made a recalibration between the Helmholz coils

At that moment there was no explanation for the high values: airplanes and helicopters gave absolutely no disturbing signals at all. At that moment there was no explanation for the high values: airplanes and helicopters gave absolutely no disturbing signals at all.

The local field component was strongly interfered by an extreme high disturbing field

Because no other natural local source can be indicate seems it logic to look for something very special :  possibly the magnetic field of a nearby UFO ?

Knowing from the early UFO literature about the possible MHD driving system of a disc UFO creating a dipole field of 100 Tesla we may calculate the expected magnetic field in function of the distance taking into account that de attenuation behaviour over the distance represents a cubicle law .This calculation gives us results of approximately 40 microTesla !

The limit values for our apparatus are on maximum the sensitivity side 1 microTesla and on the saturation side 85 microTesla .The measured value of 60microTesla is comfortable between those two limits

              8.     The calibration  Helmholz configuration

           A Helmholz calibration system is setup by two coils placed on a distance from each other equal to     
           the radius of the coil. The coils are electrically connected in series .

The system gives the possibility to create a homogeneous magnetic field between the coils in the axis line. This field is direct proportional to the current through to coil configuration .It was possible to recreate the field of 40 microTesla raise in the sensor part of the magnetometer by putting it in the axis of coil set. This field gave together with  the always  present Bx field a reading of the total field of 60microTesla on the output of the magnetomer. 

          9.     Some remarks and conclusion

We had no notion of the visual observation at the moment of the registration of  the magnetic anomaly .

It is during the recalibration of the magnetometer that I realized that the registered values were so high and so out of  proportion .

Such high value were ,to my knowledge, never measured

The anomaly was very local and undetectable in Dourbes due to the big distance .

Calibration with the Helmholz equipment approved the correctness of the results.

Taking onto account :

1.     Both phenomena happened during the same narrow time window of

a few minutes.

2.  It was a flying object ,could not identified as known and looked as                                

                an oval or disc under a certain angle, with bright lights on  its

                 circumference ,no noise at all.

3.  Calculations shows there is a good agreement between the idea

     of  an unnatural source as an UFO and the measured and estimated     

     values .

                        The conclusion can be ‘a flying object of unknown type  creating big magnetic

                        field disturbances around it and in its environment”

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Alaska, California, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Washington.

Sightings of UFOs were also reported in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Eire, Mexico, and England in the United Kingdom.

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Mars Strange Structures

Tube like structures are about 400 feet in diameter and cross over and split similar to roadways of an intelligent designed transport system. It seems logical that an alien intelligence on Mars would live underground or inside buildings and tubes.

Nanny Claims She's being Abducted

The nanny from Flushing, Fran Drescher, may in fact be the nanny from outer space. That's if you believe the actress' dramatic story about being abducted by aliens -- something she truly believes happened to her.

"You know, it's funny because Peter (Fran's ex-husband) and I both saw [aliens] before we knew each other, doing the same thing, driving on the road with our dads," Fran tells me, in all seriousness. "We were both in junior high, and met a few years later, and realized we had the same experience. I think that somehow we were programmed to meet. We both have this scar. It's the exact same scar at the exact same spot."

But ex-husband Peter Jacobson wasn't so convinced, and says Fran got the small scar on her hand from a drill bit or burning herself holding a hot cup of water. But Fran says, "No way; I told him, that's what the aliens programmed us to think," Fran explains. "But really, that's where the chip is."

Star Child Born after Abductions

The Reed's truly believe their alien encounters involved gene manipulation, and why the amplification of insight documented was so apparent in the children. Much has been witnessed by others outside an academic and testing environment, with academic and medical testing supporting something vastly elevated.

With regard to this heightened ability Thomas shares a thought regarding another possible level or plan within ourselves, an understanding that 99.99% of us can't access, this insight is fueled by his son. He suggests that perhaps we are not ready to access or even understand this, or is it something that has just yet to fully develop. We cannot access more than a fraction of our brain to begin with, so why have it? Even those with 140 - 170 IQ's that suddenly become a member of Mensa, are not using any addition part of the brain, just using it a tad more proficiently. It's safe to say we're barbaric in nature, would it not be used for the wrong reasons. Even In its mildest examples in or around the Reed's home it has lasting impressions, and at times troublesome realizations.

Thomas with his Tiger friend.

With that said many whom they have spoken with that have also had a similar abduction encounter, were exceedingly intelligent, most were adolescents with high IQ's, healthy and were primarily RH Negative. All by chance? (Healthy and advanced in multiply ways already, w/ immaculate blood cells, no coatings)

They share a theory that we will one day find that the RH Negative factor may have many variations as blood types themselves. Leading Tom to feel because the rh. negative factor or cell is flawlessly clean and in its pure form, it's also key to something much larger. Such as having traits to something other than prehistoric man, and having some relevance in the stimulating of regions within our brain. Combined with other factors, promoting an elevated consciousness, or a better word, wakefulness.

This elevated awareness and heighten ability is quite evident in Tom's brother's youngest child and his son, the abilities are also medically documented, support by their school records, to include IQ testing and epidemic placement. He has yet to find any other link or association that would support or have contributed to the level in which these two can almost flaunt this wakefulness at times. Per the boy's school records, Chance is a remarkable boy testing well in the superior rang and classified at 127% in the country, per the Gifted Matrix, the Exceptional Student Evaluation, a KABC-11, and The Kaufman Achievement. Chance has also experienced surprisingly accurate foresight in relation to seemingly ominous but deceptive or harmful situations. He predicted a considerably detailed event, weeks prior to the actual occurrence, involving a woman, a white automobile, and several occupants. It's recorded that the boy normally achieves, more than twice the national standard of coincidental accuracy when selecting numbers and or Zener cards. Chance has routinely exercised a much greater then chance ratio, when tested for Coordinate, Outbound, Beacon, and Associative categories of remote viewing. His blood type is A Rh Negative' and his nick name is Chance. Thanks to Tomas Reed.

Obama Freezes Iranian Assets in US as Iran Begins Military Exercises

I do not like the idea of a war with Iran as I have visited there numerous times and like the people. However, leaders often move us into war that our military must fight. Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard began military exercises Saturday in the country's south, the latest show of force after threats to close the strategic Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for tough Western sanctions. State media announced new maneuvers in southern Iran involving ground forces and rocket firing units.

On Thursday, Israel's defense minister, Ehud Barak, suggested the world is ready to consider a military strike if sanctions fail to rein in the Islamic Republic's nuclear program... Iran's leader Ayatollah Ali Khomeini replied with a hard line threatening to stop 40% of the seaborne oil that passes through the Strait. Ships from the UK, France the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln recently moved into the Persian Gulf to protect the 17 oil tankers that leave the Persian Gulf each day. U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said sanctions remain the best approach to pressure Iran. But he told U.S. airmen Friday that Washington keeps "all options on the table and would be prepared to respond if we have to."

Editor's Note: The politicians can easily get us into another losing war. A colonel friend told me each time we kill a Taliban fighter in Afghanistan, his brothers and cousins join the fight against us. Despite what you are told in the news we are losing.

Costa Rican Disc

Lake Cote -- In a letter sent to a group called Main Karinya Directory in Costa Rica, an extremely compelling account was revealed of the taking of a photograph of a silver disc-shaped UFO in 1971 in Costa Rica. The UFO, tapered upward to a dome or central control unit, was photographed over Lake Cote as part of a Costa Rican mapping program. A state-of-the-art camera was used, pointing downward and snapping photographs every 17 seconds.

The UFO appears to be entering the water, as no water splash is seen, and one small side of the disc is hidden from view. Allegedly, the UFO was moving from right to left, at about a 30 degree angle. As the photo is rotated for display purposes, this would be from top to bottom.

The photograph itself reveals a very detailed view of water, the shoreline, and trees. It is one of the very few photographs taken of a UFO entering or exiting water. It is rare that a photograph of a UFO receives such a clear cut validation by well known investigators. The UFO is exceptionally large. Locals claim the area leads to an immense city containing over 500 buildings built many years ago by extraterrestrial visitors.

In 1989, noted researchers Richard Haines and Jacques Vallee examined the photograph and released the following Photo Analysis statement:

"In summary, our analyses have suggested that an unidentified, opaque, aerial object was captured on film at a maximum distance of 10,000 feet. There are no visible means of lift or propulsion and no surface markings other than dark regions that appear to be nonrandom... There is no indication that the image is the product of a double exposure or a deliberate fabrication" - [Haines, and Vallee, 1989].

Australian Prime Minister (Correction)

Last week I quoted Prime Minister Julia Gillard as making inflammatory statements stating Moslems need to adapt to Australian customs. Correction she did not make those statements, most were made by the previous Prime Minister John Howard who told the media that immigrants should adapt to Australian culture, language and beliefs or leave the country. Apparently some of his statements were changed to make the article more inflammatory. I goofed in repeating the article. I was sent the article by a friend who was also fooled.

Norman Oliver writes about Lucius Farish

Lincolnshire, U.K. -- Norman Oliver writes, "Having read of the death of Lucius Farish last weeks Filer's Files #5-2012, I would like to tell of my Appreciation' for Lucius. From the late 1960s, I was a Council member of BUFORA - The British UFO Research Association, and edited its Journal for many issues. "I was saddened to learn of the death of Lucius Farish. Back in 1967 Lou and I commenced a monthly tape correspondence about UFO research and events in each of our countries that lasted several decades. In 1987, Lou took over the role of organizing the UFO Conferences held each April in beautiful Eureka Springs, Arkansas and invited me to be the first British speaker there. I was invited back on seven occasions. I always felt that Lou was, a 'hub' of UFO information, not just in the U.S.A., but worldwide and he will be sadly missed by Ufologists everywhere. He was both a gentleman and a gentle man and I feel his loss deeply as, I am sure, do many others worldwide. Goodbye, Lou - it was an honor to have known you "Norman Oliver, 'Stepping Stones'.

Yahweh (God) and His Flying Machines

Bill Bean writes the Bible tells of UFOs and the glory of God's craft. In Hebrew chariots, the glory of the Lord and clouds refer to anything that flies like UFOs.

The Hovering Vehicle Glory and Light in

Exodus 40:34-38

Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle... And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys: But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up. For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys. The flying object remained in the presence of the nation wherever it went.

Spinning Chariots of Fire Take Elijah Up

2 Kings 2:11-12

And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw it, and he cried my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.

Elijah and Elisha are talking and suddenly a bright cavalry of glowing vehicles appears and Elijah ascends into the sky in a spinning-flying vehicle. The word translated into horses, 'cuwc', means rapid flight. This is most likely the army spoken of where hosts appears.

Sightings in the United States

Alaska Red lights in line formation

Anchorage -- We were waiting in the parking lot at 7:30 pm on January 23, 2012, and I looked at these red lights coming over the mountains in line formation. I thought it was military parachuting or exercises or something until the red spheres spread apart hovered and then went straight up slowly at the same pace and then disappeared. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

California Cylinder

CHINO -- I was at the Children's Museum at a birthday party around 4 pm, talking to my wife's cousin when a bright light flickered just over the two story building. He was taking pictures of the party so I asked him to take some pictures of the UFO. He took six pictures within thirty seconds as the object moved away and up till we finally lost it. He then shows me the pictures on the cameras screen that looked very small till he zoomed in close and wow; I was very excited about the whole event. Here is one of the zoomed in pictures. I'm always looking up and was in the marines and know that wasn't a plane or a helicopter even though the Ontario airport is only five miles away. I have lots more photos. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Whittier -- We saw more orbs moving and dancing on February 3, 2012! Looking around like a humming birds. Sometimes small as a baseball, others large like a plane. They changed color from white to orange. G.A. Whittier. More to come! Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Lights

ORLANDO -- I was headed to Disney on February 6, 2012, waiting for the bus at 6:38 am, when I saw lights and took video and pictures that show three lights. There is nothing to indicate any mass or structure. It had grown to about half dollar size by then. The video has strange distorted noise. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Kentucky Object

PATHFORK -- I was outside late that evening when I noticed a strange 50 foot in diameter black cloud came up over a low ridge line on September 5, 2009. This cloud was traveling south and following five very large black birds that never moved their wings and just glided along. The birds had a wing span of about 16 feet with slender long bodies for their size.

This black cloud was about 60 feet above the black birds trailing behind them and flying toward us descending. I told my wife to grab the camera to take pictures of this strange cloud. I lost sight of the black birds as my wife took the picture. The flash of the camera caused the black cloud to immediately changed direction and speed off at an incredible speed. We were shocked that exactly where the black cloud is was this strange craft with another even larger craft higher up not visible to us. In the pictures I estimate the craft was 12 feet in diameter, 16 feet high bell shaped craft with a dome shape bottom. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Maryland Lights

Clear Spring -- Driving down Draper Road I noticed lights high in the sky on February 1, 2012. I thought they were from a tower but realized there is no tower where I saw the lights. As I got closer they flew in front of the car at tree level. I stopped the car at Draper and Harvey Road and rolled down the window to take a picture. I listened but there was no sound. I followed as it flew over the ridge behind our house and disappeared leaving me in awe. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Michigan Lights

ALBION -- On January 29, 2012, about midnight my two friends and I witnessed the most amazing orange lights in the eastern sky. We could see it move behind tree limbs. We watched for an hour and realized it was not what we see all the time. I got my camera and tripod and started to film something through my viewfinder I cannot explain as it maneuvers and changes shape. We were freezing and when we came back outside it was gone.

Minnesota Orb

MINNEAPOLIS -- I was waiting on my front porch for a delivery on February 3, 2012, when I noticed a very large bright object moving slowly in the sky.

It stopped suddenly and did not move for several minutes as two commercial airplanes flew past it. When it moved again I ran into my house and retrieved my video camera and filmed it moving closer and descending. It stopped and hovered for 18 minutes above the house across the street. I took screen captures from the video and blew them up and saturated them with color. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Missouri Lights

RAYTOWN -- I was outside taking pictures and noticed a bright light in the sky, so I took a picture of it and this is how it turned out. This is not the first time I've found something really strange going on in the photo. I wanted to attribute the weirdness to a low battery or improper settings but my battery tested fine and it was set on normal nighttime setting built into the camera. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Abduction

Wood Ridge -- On February 1, 2012, I was sleeping from 11:15 PM to 4 AM when I had to use the bathroom. I was restless and finally fell back to sleep when I had the feeling of being held down. It was around 5:45 am which is 15 minutes earlier than I usually wake up. I was trying to wake up but I couldn't, I started kicking slowly and tried opening my eyes. I tried screaming, but could not make any noise.

After kicking harder I started opening my eyes and saw that my hands were being held against my chest by a being that was standing on the left of my bed. I kicked on last time and then was able to speak and said, "Get off of me! It started awkwardly running towards my window where it disappeared. The lights were off but I could tell the being was short around four feet tall and slender like a child, completely naked with no body hair, and dark grey in color. I did not see any facial features.

North Carolina Triangle

STATESVILLE -- Around 6:45 pm on January 19, 2012, I was and driving home from work and noticed 20 plus round flickering bluish orbs flying across the sky. They almost looked like fireworks. I heard no sound. I called my wife to come outside and she observed them also. They gradually spread apart and began moving around in small circles and disappeared slowly. This event took around five minutes before they all vanished. Later, my wife and I were eating at the dinner table and heard a low humming or rumbling outside. She stated, " What is that?" We went outside and saw an object flying fairly low and slow for an aircraft. It was just above tree top level. It appeared to hover and was in the shape of a triangle making a low hum. As it came closer, the body of the craft appeared to be very dark, almost transparent with a bright red blinking light on the bottom, with three white lights on each end of the triangle tip.

It appeared to be in a turn and moved over toward us as it seemed to notice us. It was pretty big. Making a complete circle around our area as we noticed an identical craft descend heading north toward the first craft. We became very scared and ran back toward the house until the second craft passed on. The craft met up with the other craft and they began to fly off toward Highway 40 toward the north with those red blinking lights seen for over a mile away. I immediately contacted MUFON NC. My wife and I are still frightened. Thanks to MUFON CMS and Thanks to Ken Pfeifer www.worldufophotos.com

New York Buzzing

QUEENS -- I was listening to music until about 5 am, on January 31, 2012, Tuesday morning when I heard a loud buzz coming from behind my house. I looked east out of my bedroom window to see what was making that strange buzzing sound. I saw a flat, slow moving object, with reddish strobing lights traveling south a few hundred feet behind the neighborhood trees. At first I thought it might be a conventional aircraft because I live near JFK, but realized it was not anything I had ever seen. It was a silvery gun metal color when it suddenly blinked off. I immediately felt a headache and went to bed. A few seconds later I heard the buzzing sound again and observed it again further south. It slowly drifted away casing the buzzing sound..

Weird Objects over Pennsylvania

GROVE CITY -- For some reason the thought of UFOs jumped into my head on my way home from the grocery store on January 7, 2012, at about 9:45 pm. As I turned onto my road in the distance I saw them. This orange orb broke into three similar size orange orbs. The primary one did not move and the other two shot away at 45 degree angles. The orbs then leveled off and travel south one behind the other parallel to the ground. So I sped up my car almost wrecking it as I pulled into my driveway.

I ran inside to tell my wife. She said, "The thought of UFOs had entered her mind too before I arrived and she didn't know why. At the same moment of her strange thoughts she said, "I heard a scratching noise at the window and had just let the dog out minutes before I got home to see what it was. The thirty orange orbs unfortunately had gone before she could see them. They were traveling just above the tree line in a snake like motion glowing orange for fifteen minutes. I took photos with my Nikon D300. Thanks to MUFON CMS and Thanks to Ken Pfeifer www.worldufophotos.com

Tennessee Flying Object

Pauline Petsel writes, "About January 12, 2012, I looked outside to see if there were any more flashing lights in the sky which I'd been photographing off and on for three years. I found several others watching this stuff and a group called Sky watchers formed. We keep in contact through Face book.

One woman who lives five miles closer to the Viking Mountain range takes pictures similar to mine. We have both been seeing things every night the last three months from 8:45 to 9:15 PM.

Washington Pinkish/Grayish Saucer and Disc

BREMERTON -- On February 3, 2012, about 8 PM, I was exercising in my TV room and looked out the window and I noticed a disc shaped white object traveling at a rapid speed in a SW direction paralleling the Olympic Mountains. After about 10 second it zigzagged then disappeared from sight.
I live near an airport and know aircraft; this did not act at all like an airplane. Attached is a picture of the view from the position of the window. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Lake Chelan -- I was taking my dog outside on January 24, 2012, to go to the bathroom and was looking up in the sky admiring how beautiful the night sky is and I spotted a saucer shaped object that was grayish/pinkish in color gliding through the air.
It was huge, from where I was on the ground and judging how high it was in the sky I would say it was maybe the size of 3 city blocks big. It had no lights or anything that would normally draw your attention to it; it was more like a silhouette against the night sky. It made no noise and simply glided through overhead. I would never have noticed had I not been looking up right at it. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

Noosa River -- I had just pulled up in my car at the Mouth Car Park, at 8:05 am on February 1, 2012, when a Sea Eagle/Kite landed in a Pandanus Palm directly in front of me. I thought cool and grabbed my 4 megapixels camera, and proceeded to take a series of six photo`s of the creature. It is quite unusual that one should land in this area as they are shy and I never seen one before in 30 years of going there. When I got home and copied photo`s to my computer I noticed on the third photo of the six had two lights in the background. They weren't there when I took the photo`s. The objects only appear on the one photo, taken only seconds apart. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Brazil Sci Fi-Like Creature Terrorized

A newly found Paleozoic predator looked like a cross between a tiger and a Komodo dragon. He was large, dino-era carnivores that hunted their prey with quick, opportunistic strikes.

Brazil 260 million years ago was the stomping ground of the recently discovered Pampaphoneus biccai, aka the "Pampas Killer, according to new research.

This formidable predator was at the top of the food chain and looked like a creature from a science fiction novel. Project leader Juan Carlos Cisneros told Discovery News that gazing at this animal "would be like looking at a mixture between a tiger and a Komodo dragon. The new species is described in the latest Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. http://news.discovery.com/animals/ancient-predator-paleozoic-brazil-120116.html#mkcpgn=emnws1

Canada Power Plant

PICKERING POWER PLANT -- I can't believe your last post about Lake Ontario sightings. I and a friend witnessed something strange near the Pickering Power Plant over Lake Ontario, after 12:30 AM, on June 14, 2007. There is video footage, and he has a better quality camera than what I have. He phoned me two days later telling me his camera has captured this UFO. What I had witnessed with the aid of binoculars was about 5 or 6 lights-orange in color.

They were blinking on and off along a straight bottom row of the craft. Light sequence from right to left-on and off. The object was in fact stationary, as we both viewed for about a minute with binoculars. Then both of us began filming this thing at less than two miles away. Altitude was 1500 feet high and after about two minutes, the craft vanished as a low flying Cessna came in right where the object was sighted apparently to investigate the UFO. Civilian aircraft are restricted from flying near the nuclear power plant.

Eire Triangle

Prospecthill -- Sittting on my balcony during a clear summer day I looked out as I always do and saw down the road there were two people walking towards me. I noticed a whirlwind a little further away, across from the park there were two black dots at first. Thinking someone was flying a kite I watched closer. To my amazement they were not kites, not birds, not planes, and nothing I have ever seen.

They were shaped like boomerangs as there were two of them. One was a little smaller and seemed to be looking at something. The other was larger in shape and was ascending up into the sky. The other smaller ship was hovering, then it turned or flipped and the sunlight reflected off its solid black shape. They were following what looked like a pattern and kept rising up, hovering as they ascended up, the smaller one following slowly behind. I watched this for about 15 minutes and they just disappeared up out of view into the sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mexican Police Engage in UFO Chase

By Juan Galvan - Mexicali, Baja California "A UFO with white lights, blue and yellow flashes" -- The first report was received from the airport area, and [the object] was even seen by C-4 operators manning the safety cameras that appear to have recorded it on January 24, 2012.. The sighting prompted the mobilization of police officials. Martin Ruelas, supervisor of the western sector, was able to see it with his own eyes, but it was too fast and it was impossible to follow. An Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) prompted an intense mobilization by elements of the Public Safety Forces of the City of Mexicali, arising from citizen reports about the presence of a strange device in the air. Alejandro Monreal Noriega, general commander of Patrols in the Direccin de Seguridad Pblica Municipal (DSPM) reported that the first news item was received from people living in the vicinity of the airport.

Even C-4 operators, responsible for urban security cameras, saw the object in their systems and it appears to have been recorded. Furthermore, hundreds of phone calls were received at the "066" number, reporting the flying object's presence. It was seen around the airport and subsequently flying at dizzying speeds toward the new guard post after citizens reported seeing it over the Marn Industrial Park, and subsequently in the Rivera Campestre district and related areas.

Martin Ruelas, supervisor of the DSPM's western region, saw it and stated that it was a sizeable round white object with visible blue and yellow flashes. He added that the object was seen high in the sky and moved up, down and sideways at very high speeds, vanishing from sight after heading south from the valley of Mexicali. Deputy Commander Medina, from the valley's southern area, also saw it and said it was too fast and impossible to follow, as it changed direction suddenly. A "chase" by patrolmen ensued, but since the object changed position within seconds, they simply relayed its location in order to have the nearest unit continue the report. Unfortunately, it was impossible to obtain an answer. Monreal Noriega stated that consultations were made with airport authorities and SEDENA, as well as their U.S. counterparts.

UK England UFO sightings Horse Mutilations

North Kent -- Rachel Hovenden writes, People have reported seeing UFOs in the sky after hearing fighter jets flying above north Kent at the weekend. People across Gravesend and Dartford reported hearing the low-flying fighter jets on January 27, 2012, apparently chasing UFOs with bright lights. Adrian and Jessica, from Istead Rise, posted on the site: -- It was moving in an unusual pattern (unlike conventional aircraft) and did a tight abrupt circle before shooting off in such a fast fashion that the two jets that appeared were too late to catch up with it." Matt, from Dartford, also posted, saying: "I see LOTS around 50 [sic.] What appeared to be bright lights / stars, at first glance in the sky? "We looked out on the patio toward the sky and saw a reddy orange shaped object (which was very low in the sky) and was an oval shape but quite large. An as yet unconfirmed is that it was an RAF training exercise. rhovenden@thekmgroup.co.uk

UFO WAS INCHES FROM CAR, SAY ELDERLY COUPLE

Barnard Castle -- On January 26, 2012, two pensioners Bruce and Priscilla Wetherill, both 84, say a flying saucer hovered inches from their car as they drove home at night. They described a "frightening brief encounter, which happened between Gainford and Barnard Castle. They pair say they saw something strange in the sky as they drove past a wooded area near Arlaw Banks. Mrs. Wetherill said: "We saw this thing heading towards us -- it was coming right at us and was as low as the car and huge. It was very frightening. "Bruce kept driving but we both ducked down, expecting it to hit us. I thought, This is it, we've had it'. The Wetherills said the UFO, which was shaped like a flying saucer, was dark on top but glowed underneath and made no sound. At the last moment, it lifted up and narrowly missed the car, they said. Mr. Wetherill said: "It was an amazing thing -- it came so close to us that I thought it was going to crash on us. -- We were waiting for an explosion, but then it disappeared. The 84-year-old said the UFO disappeared into the sky. "I'm a realist, but I know what I saw and it was unbelievable". If I lived to 200 I would never see anything like it again, Mr. Wetherill said. Mrs. Wetherill, said the UFO had steel-like tentacles hanging down. The couple said the flying saucer came so close that they expected to see scratches on the roof of their vehicle. But when they investigated, there were none. http://www.teesdalemercury.co.uk/teesdale-news/story,3874.html

Four Black Stallion Mutilations Occurred in January

The owner of the Stallion Sammy was interviewed and claims three animals in just over two weeks have had exactly the same injuries. I'm scared as the RSPCA and the Police, may be covering it up. We have rang the Police and they have said look it is a mutilation. But the Police are saying to other people it's not a mutilation, and the RSPCA are saying it's not. How do they justify the removal of the genitals if it's not a mutilation?

A butcher who helped to move the horse said there were all clean cuts. I'm really worried, I know it's nothing natural and nothing done by wild life, he (Sammy) had a mare in the field with him, and she was perfectly fine?

The police took pictures but the public cannot see them. On 18th of January a pregnant mare was discovered mutilated in Dartmoor. Its owner was told by the police not to make it public and told to keep quiet about it. A pony named Barney was killed in Carmarthenshire. Some of the attacks were on pregnant mares from January through June when the next generation of animals would be born.

The number of attacks in such a short time is puzzling given the party line by the authorities that the perpetrators of the mutilations were satanic cult members. The equine community is on their guard and vigilant to further attacks and some owners were now sleeping with their animals.

The latest attacks on three sheep and goats occurred on a farm near Bodmin. Also three goats on another farm have been killed in the same sort of way. Police have drawn a blank so far in their investigation of a stallion, called Erik who was badly mutilated in a Cornwall field.

An Update of the pony mutilation in Devon is that the case has been closed, and blamed on natural causes, like Barney the pony in Wales a few weeks ago. However owners are very adamant his injuries were not that of an animal and are now taking this public. The vet who did the post mortem disposed of the body without the owner's consent and worked for the RSPCA. The area around the mutilated animals are without foot prints or vehicle tracks and point to the perpetrators coming by air. Numerous farmers claim they have seen unconventional aircraft for 50 years.

Alien Abduction or Sleep Paralysis?

(c) Kathleen Marden 2012

I have personally been embroiled in the UFO abduction debate for 46 years and professionally involved for the past 21 years. As the niece of Betty and Barney Hill, the first abductees to gain public recognition in the United States, I find this unsolved mystery fascinating. On February 22, 1966, I observed an unconventional flying object hovering approximately less than 1000 feet above me. There were five other witnesses. I have observed additional anomalies that have been linked (by some researchers), to alien abduction phenomena. I have, however, never experienced sleep paralysis. I wish that I had so that I could describe it from a personal perspective. Without firsthand knowledge of this psycho-physiological process, I must rely upon information from those who study it professionally and the testimony of those who have experienced it.

Several skeptical scientists have suggested that sleep paralysis is the best explanation for nocturnal bedroom abductions. Nearly all abductees/ experiencers (depending upon one’s emotional response to the event), disagree. Those who were initially taken from an external environment (car, campsite, forest, field), after having a close encounter with an unconventional flying object and/or observing non-human entities, and experiencing approximately two hours “lost” time, are not convinced that  that their subsequent bedroom abductions are sleep related anomalies.

Many abductees/experiencers have no memory of being taken from an external environment. They have only vivid memories of being taken from their beds during the night by humanoid figures and later returned with new, unexplainable marks on their bodies. Others wonder if they might have been abducted because they have observed strange lights in their bedrooms at night or observed the floating face of an alien figure above their beds.

Skeptics and scientific ufologists remind us that in the absence of substantial evidence, we cannot accept anecdotal abduction accounts as real. Our perception of the events that occur during the night, while we are sleeping or partially awake, could possibly be distorted by our sleeping minds. REM sleep, visual imagery, and sleep hallucinations can be confusing.

One thing is clear. All of us experience paralysis as a function of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. More dreaming occurs during REM sleep than in another stage of sleep. The paralysis prevents us from acting out our dreams and harming ourselves or others. It is most frequently reported to occur when we are falling asleep. But it can also occur upon waking. Some people have a sleep disorder that that interferes with normal REM sleep, causing them to act out their dreams. This condition requires medical treatment because REM sleep disorder sufferers have injured themselves or family members while in acting out in REM sleep.

Sleep paralysis is related to REM but is a different entity. It can occur just before falling asleep or waking up. You will have conscious awareness of your surroundings but not be able to move anything except your eyes. You might observe shadowy figures in your bedroom and your heart might pound, as a sense of fear jars you into wakefulness. About 30-40% of those queried by sleep study scientists report that they have experienced sleep paralysis. It is simply a sign that their bodies are not moving smoothly through the stages of sleep.

People with narcolepsy, a condition characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness and REM activity within ten minutes of falling asleep, are more likely to experience sleep paralysis accompanied by hypnagogic or hypnopompic hallucinations than the general population. Sleep paralysis alone is characteristically different than the colorful imagery described by people who have experienced H/H hallucinations.

There is conflicting information about H/H hallucinations and I have not been able to find conclusive answers with regard to its prevalence among human populations. HH ahllucinations can last up to several minutes and affect an estimated 5% to over 12% of the normal population. However, David J. Hufford wrote in The Terror That Comes in the Night, that 50% or more of Yasuo Hishikawa’s narcoleptic subjects reported that they had experienced H/H hallucinations.

Hypnagogic (between waking and sleeping) and hypnopompic (between sleeping and waking)  hallucinations occur when factors such as stress, extreme fatigue, medications, and mental illness cause the part of the brain that distinguishes between conscious perceptions and internally generated perceptions to misfire. This results in internally generated visions, sounds, feelings, smells or tastes. H/H hallucination experiencers often see colored geometric shapes or parts of objects. Others might observe the full image of a person, monster or animal. Sometimes lines or the outlines of figures are observed. Sensations of floating or flying are common, along with hallucinated buzzing sounds. H/H hallucinations can be frightening. The hallucinations can last from seconds to minutes and are usually accompanied by a brief period of sleep paralysis. They are experienced as being as real as real.

I once personally experienced a hypnopompic hallucination, without sleep paralysis. My husband and I were sleeping soundly when the telephone jarred me into partial wakefulness in the middle of the night. I didn’t answer the phone because I “saw” my husband walk toward it, as if he were going to answer it. Even though the room was dark I perceived that he was clothed in a brightly colored red and black plaid flannel shirt. The almost fluorescent colors were brighter than what can be observed in natural sunlight. I was perplexed because the phone continued to ring even though I “saw” my husband lift the receiver from the cradle. Almost immediately I was startled by the awareness of his presence in the bed next to me. My hallucination vanished and I answered the phone. It is the only hypnopompic hallucination that I have ever had, but as a lifelong student of human perception, I found it interesting and informative.

Some sleep scientists contend that an experiencer’s perception of alien abduction while sleeping or awake in bed is most likely attributable to sleep paralysis, perhaps with hypnopompic hallucinations. They suspect that extraterrestrial entities are generated in hypnagogic and hypnopompic sleep states. Sleep hallucinations might be related to dreams because they are more elaborate and enduring than sleep paralysis alone. Hypothetically, we might be sleeping and perhaps dreaming about alien entities. When we start to move up out of REM sleep we might experience a hypnopompic hallucination and “see” nonhuman entities in our bedroom that we perceive as real. After a few seconds or minutes, we become fully awake but remember the onset of an abduction/contact as if it were real.

If we experience a combination of sleep paralysis and H/H hallucinations, we will suffer intense fear and wake up paralyzed, unable to move anything except our eyes. We might observe shadowy figures standing beside our beds or hovering overhead. If we attempt to cry out we find that we can’t utter more than a nondescript sound. We’re locked inside paralyzed bodies, unable to speak or move, except for our eyes. Our hearts pound and we strain to breathe as if there is a weight upon our chests. We are acutely aware of surroundings. Shadows transform into frightening shadowy images and sounds intensify. We struggle to break free from our dreadful predicament, and within seconds we are fully awake. This occurs to some of us when we emerge from REM sleep and our natural paralysis continues for a few seconds. I have never met an abductee/experiencer who believes that their ET contact experience was sleep related.

I have, however, spoken with individuals who have experienced HH hallucinations throughout their lifetime. Most report the observation of geometric shapes or disconnected body parts. One observed the upper torso and face of a monster. Two have observed alien heads that were not connected to bodies.  These details are not consistent with the reports that I have received from abductees/experiencers.

Many abductees/ experiencers have described distinctly different demarcations between sleep paralysis, H/H hallucinations and real abduction experiences. They insist that they were fully awake at the onset of an alien abduction or visitation. They might even have received a telepathic message earlier in the day that they would be visited. They did not wake up paralyzed. It was only after they cried out or attempted to fight or flee that they became paralyzed. Some might even remember being transported through solid objects, such as a wall, roof or window, to a craft. Most have observed non-human entities and might even retain a complex memory of being examined on the craft and/or being taught a lesson. They are later returned to their beds. Prior to their experience some witnesses report that they were nervously glancing at their alarm clocks, unable to sleep due to their anxiety about an impending abduction. Having noted the time on their alarm clocks prior to and after their experience, they can think of no prosaic explanation for the lost time. Sometimes bed partners and family members sleeping in the house recall identical experiences on the same night.

Sleep paralysis and HH hallucinations are not an acceptable explanation for “Jennie Henderson’s experiences. At age 16, she and a companion were in route to a high school basketball game when they were stopped and immobilized by an unconventional craft and “lost” two hour’s time. At first the craft resembled a helicopter in rapid pursuit of their vehicle. The silent teardrop shaped object hovered directly overhead and the engine of the Volkswagen died. As if only a moment had passed the car restarted and the teens were once again on their way to their destination. Jennie anticipated meeting her younger brother there and transporting him home at the end of the school event. Upon their arrival, they discovered that the event had ended nearly two hours earlier. There was no prosaic explanation for their “lost” time, and the family decided not to make a formal report of the event.

Years later, Jennie sought help after she experienced a series of frightening nocturnal bedroom visitations. Occasionally, she would awaken during the night and observe nonhuman entities in her bedroom.  Shortly thereafter, a wave of paralysis crept up her body. Several times, she was fully awake when an unseen force suddenly and unexpectedly ripped her body from her bed. Her next conscious memory was of finding herself in a holding area aboard a strange craft accompanied by short non-human entities with grayish skin and large eyes. As time passed, she was able to recall many of the details of her visits with extraterrestrial entities, without hypnosis. Her husband and children’s memories of the events added support to Jennie’s suspicion that she had not experienced a sleep anomaly or vivid dream. On two occasions, her neighbors observed a silent disk-shaped craft hovering over her rural home.

Many abductees believe that their experiences are real because they and others in their homes retain the same experiential memories. When there is unusual physical evidence attached to these memories, it is difficult to find an adequate prosaic explanation such as sleep paralysis and H/H hallucinations. Abductees are often awakened by a rushing sound and activity in their bedrooms. At the onset of their experience they are not paralyzed, and often cry out, attempt to escape, or even throw objects at the intruders. Small entities, often with glistening eyes, move about their bedrooms. The abductees’ partners sometimes attempt to fight back, but are quickly immobilized and returned to their beds in a seemingly deep sleep.

Some abductees/experiencers are returned to their beds, but others end up locked outside of their homes. Some awaken on their roofs, in their vehicles, or even in someone else’s home. Sometimes they find mud and vegetative matter in their beds. Others find they are no longer dressed in their own clothing, but in a stranger’s nightshirt. Sometimes experiencers find landing trace evidence on their property.

Most academic psychologists ignore these unique characteristics associated with nocturnal bedroom abductions. Instead they attempt to squeeze reports made by abductees/experiencers into sleep paralysis and HH hallucination categories, despite the evidence to the contrary. There are several reasons for this. One is that HH hallucinations and sleep paralysis are often experienced as real as real and can contain complex imagery and physiological responses. Another is that when Occam’s razor, the principle that among competing hypotheses, the simplest explanation within accepted scientific paradigms is the most plausible, HHHs and SP are the scientifically acceptable explanations. Political agendas have relegated UFO and alien abduction to the fringe science category. Officially, ufology is a pseudoscience lacking the respectability required for serious scientific study. A few courageous scientists have stepped outside politically acceptable constraints and have advanced our scientific knowledge of UFO related phenomena. However, some have experienced the professional consequences of thinking outside the box. Young scientists who wish to advance their professional careers are fearful of investigating these taboo subjects. To do so might lead to professional suicide.

De UFO onthulling mythe

Van Donald Keyhoe (L) naar Stephen Greer (R), heeft ufologie hield de diepgewortelde overtuiging dat de Amerikaanse regering wordt geheimen over UFO's te onthouden.

De UFO onthulling mythe

© Tim Printy 2008

De mens is een lichtgelovig dier, en moet geloven iets, in de afwezigheid van goede gronden voor het geloof, dan zal hij tevreden zijn met slechte . - Bertrand Russell

Al meer dan vijftig jaar heeft ufologie is het nastreven van de idee dat de Amerikaanse regering geheim het feit dat het heeft gekend vreemdelingen zijn de Aarde bezoekt sinds 1947 te houden. Ufologen geloven dat het bewijs voor deze overweldigende is en ze hebben herhaaldelijk geprobeerd om de Amerikaanse regering onder druk te laten zien dat ze met betrekking tot dit wereldschokkend nieuws.

Keyhoe en het ultieme geheim

Als mensen al de verschillende personen die zich in de UFO-gemeenschap bestond de afgelopen zestig-plus jaren te beschrijven, ze altijd beginnen met Donald Keyhoe. Donald Keyhoe werd een deel van de moderne ufologie, want hij was een schrijver die voor diverse pulp bladen schreef in de jaren 1930 en '40. Kort na de UFO-gebeurtenissen begon in 1947, werd hij benaderd door True tijdschriftredacteur Ken Purdy, die stuurde hem een ​​telegram dat aangegeven was er meer aan de UFO-verhaal dan wat de regering publiekelijk zei:

Hebben onderzoek verricht naar vliegende schotel MYSTERY. EERSTE TIP doorschemeren GIGANTISCHE HOAX te verdoezelen OFFICIËLE SECRET. BELIEVE IT KAN ZIJN geplant om echt antwoord Verberg. LOOKS LIKE GEWELDIG VERHAAL. Kun je OVER WASHINGTON EINDE? (Peebles 43)

Keyhoe verdiepte zich in het onderwerp en uiteindelijk geconcludeerd dat wat Purdy had gezegd juist was. Er was een cover-up en de bron van de UFO's was iets zo buitengewoon dat de regering had om het te verbergen van het grote publiek tot een algemene paniek te voorkomen. In de geest Keyhoe's, kan dit alleen maar betekenen dat de aarde werd bezocht door buitenaardse wezens uit andere werelden.

In januari 1950, True tijdschrift gedrukt eerste werk Keyhoe's over het onderwerp "De vliegende schotels zijn echt". In dit artikel Keyhoe verklaarde dat de aarde werd bezocht voor bijna twee eeuwen, en dat met het verschijnen van de UFO's in 1947, werd het tarief te verhogen tot het punt dat ze zouden gaan maken, of gemaakt had, contact.Keyhoe stelde ook dat als contact was gemaakt, was het slechts een kwestie van tijd voordat de overheid zou de wereld van deze gedenkwaardige gebeurtenis te vertellen. Toen hij zijn boek met dezelfde titel als het artikel vrijgegeven , hij dat de bekendmaking bijna gebeurd, maar de USAF / overheid schreef besloten om uit-en weer op het laatste moment, omdat zijn originele artikel veroorzaakt een reactie die de USAF de war als hysterie. Keyhoe vervolgens aangegeven dat uiteindelijk de overheid zou de waarheid te onthullen zodra ze vond dat de bevolking zou het nieuws te verwerken. Deze belofte dat de overheid uiteindelijk zou blijken dat buitenaardse wezens de aarde bezoeken in ruimteschepen aan het grote publiek zou uitgroeien tot een van de hoekstenen van ufologische filosofie die er bestaat tot op de dag.

NICAP: Veel rook maar geen vuur

In de vroege jaren 1950, had de USAF geworden overbelast door het onderzoeken van alle UFO-rapport dat werd gepubliceerd in de pers of gemeld aan hun hoofdkwartier. Project Bluebook was geworden van de focus van veel ufologische klachten, omdat de inspanning was om de oorzaken voor de UFO-waarnemingen, die zij deden om het beste van hun kunnen vinden. In sommige gevallen de antwoorden niet bevredigend en in andere juist. Het is echt deed er niet toe, omdat de meeste UFO-voorstanders was begonnen aan een uitleg van de USAF te twijfelen. Voor hen is het enige mogelijke antwoord was dat deze UFO-meldingen waren waarnemingen van buitenaardse ruimteschepen. Duidelijke onbekwaamheid Project Bluebook of betrokkenheid bij de cover-up zou de focus van de zoektocht van Donald Keyhoe te worden.

Aan het eind van de jaren 1950, had Keyhoe schreef verschillende boeken over het onderwerp van het UFO-cover-up. Een van hen was 'de vliegende schotel samenzwering ", waar Keyhoe de USAF nam om taak en openlijk beschuldigde hen van censuur / veranderen van UFO-meldingen. Hij heeft ook gespeculeerd dat er een geheime groep die werkt achter de regering die werd preventie van de onthulling van de waarheid. Om u te helpen bloot dat de waarheid, richtte hij een UFO-organisatie die de nationale onderzoeken Comite voor de Aerial Phenomena (NICAP). NICAP geprobeerd om het Congres om actie te ondernemen op dit gebied en Keyhoe nagestreefd leidt tot openbare hoorzittingen over het onderwerp te krijgen. Helaas, elke keer NICAP kwamen dicht bij dit doel te bereiken, zou er iets gebeuren dat tegenhouden. Voor het grootste deel was het de USAF dat de dader was door aan te tonen aan congresleden en senatoren dat hun inspanningen waren te goeder trouw en er was geen cover-up. Om het af, Keyhoe was zijn eigen ergste vijand. Hij verscheen aan een vijandige confrontatie met de Amerikaanse luchtmacht in de zalen van het Congres willen. Die het toezicht op een dergelijke hoorzitting zou niets te maken met dat soort spektakel en Keyhoe de kansen voor open hoorzittingen niet van de grond op de wijze die hij wenst.

Ondanks deze moeilijkheden, NICAP haar inspanningen voortgezet. Ze brachten een boek over de UFO-bewijs, dat hun zaak uiteengezet, om politici en ambtenaren dat hun theorie juist was te overtuigen. Zij stelden voor de USAF werd dingen te verbergen door een van de twee redenen:

1) Dat de luchtmacht heeft verkregen significant bewijs van de realiteit van UFO's, en is onthouden zijn bewijs tot het publiek een psychologisch worden opgesteld op basis van een programma geleid door een hogere instantie.

2) Dat het achterhouden van informatie is niet omdat van enige speciale kennis over het onderwerp, maar de resultaten min of meer onbewust worden door bureaucratie, gebrek aan continuïteit aan het UFO-project, verschil van mening binnen de luchtmacht, etc . (Hal 105)

De eerste optie was de complottheorie wordt ontwikkeld door Keyhoe en zijn naaste medewerkers. De tweede optie is waarschijnlijk toegevoegd door enkele leden van NICAP, die niet deelde Keyhoe de samenzweringstheorie. Ze bleken te zijn in de minderheid en het was de samenzwering mantra dat werd aangegrepen door de meeste ufologen in en uit NICAP.

Ondanks de samenzwering ufologie de hoek, Keyhoe was optimistisch dat de waarheid zou binnenkort worden onthuld. Hij verklaarde openlijk de volgende in het begin van 1965,

Congres hoorzittingen zijn bijna verplicht om uiteindelijk te worden gehouden - waarschijnlijk in de komende jaren. De basis vondst van deze hoorzittingen - dat we inderdaad onder toezicht van een soort door bezoekers uit het heelal - zal ongetwijfeld schrikken en schrikken veel mensen over de hele wereld. (Peebles 185)

Keyhoe had gelijk dat de hoorzittingen snel zou gebeuren, maar het had weinig te maken met zijn inspanningen of openbaring dat UFO's waren buitenaardse ruimteschepen de aarde bezoeken.

Congress reageert, maar niet aan NICAP

In 1966, een serie van UFO-gebeurtenissen in Michigan gevraagd Dr Hynek, dan is werkzaam als adviseur van de USAF, naar het "moeras gas 'verklaring voor te stellen aan de pers voor een reeks van waarnemingen daar. Door de reactie van het publiek uit de toelichting en de negatieve publiciteit, het Congres weer nam de UFO vraag met de USAF. De USAF probeerden om hun zaak uit te leggen en dat ze niet ontdekt iets belangrijks in de UFO-gegevens. Het hoofd van het project Bluebook op het moment, majoor Hector Quintanilla, schreef de hoorzittingen waren redelijk goed te gaan totdat Dr Hynek werd gevraagd of hij iets toe te voegen. Volgens Quintanilla, was Hynek is voorafgaand aan deze vroeg of hij een verklaring af te leggen tijdens de hoorzitting en Hynek vertelde Algemene Corbin van de wetgevende en liaison afdeling van het Pentagon dat hij het niet zou doen. Echter, in het midden van de hoorzitting, Hynek haalde een geschreven document en begon een verklaring over UFO's aan de commissie te maken. Hynek had gelogen aan de Algemene zodat hij kon openlijk congres aan te pakken, zonder enige inmenging van de USAF. Hynek blijkbaar was geïnteresseerd geraakt in het idee van een door de overheid gefinancierde wetenschappelijke studie van UFO's in de toekomst en dit was een stap om zich te vestigen als de vermoedelijke hoofd van een dergelijke organisatie. Zijn poging om te lobbyen voor deze positie zou uiteindelijk falen en zijn stunt in de voorkant van het Congres zou niet geliefd hem Major Quintanilla. Het resultaat van deze hoorzittingen, en diverse andere evenementen, zou zijn om de USAF van zijn verantwoordelijkheid te verlichten en om een ​​groep wetenschappers toe te wijzen aan het probleem te bestuderen. Dit werd bekend als de Colorado-project, meestal aangeduid als de Condon studie.

De Colorado project was een poging om UFO's in een wetenschappelijke omgeving te bestuderen door een universiteit buiten de invloed van de USAF en zonder vooropgezette ideeën over het onderwerp. Dr Edward Condon hoofd van de studie. Vanaf het begin, werd het een politieke nachtmerrie. Dr James McDonald en Hynek zich zorgen over de studie toen Dr Condon onthuld dat hij was uiterst sceptisch over het onderwerp in een aantal van zijn toespraken. Uiteindelijk zou een memo worden gelekt naar de pers dat de studie zou werpen in een negatief daglicht. De inspanningen van NICAP en anderen om de studie te helpen verdampt omdat duidelijk werd dat de dingen niet zijn de UFO-voorstanders weg te gaan.

Terwijl de Condon onderzoek plaatsvond, heeft het Congres krijgen de kans om de UFO-verdediger kant van het verhaal te horen. Kort na de gelekte memo, Congreslid J. Edward Roush een symposium / hoorzitting over het onderwerp UFO's. Volgens Quintanilla:

Het symposium werd gehouden in de Rayburn Building op 29 juli, 1968. Congreslid Roush was de voorzitter en de lijst van sprekers lezen als een who's who van buitenaardse hypothese voorstanders. Ik heb nog nooit zo'n gestapeld dek in mijn hele leven en de verklaringen en documenten die door deze geleerde heren van de wetenschap bewees het punt. Niet een van hen gepresenteerde iets belangrijks, of een plan dat de moeite waard was in het nastreven van. Deze high-brow artsen met al hun universitaire retoriek viel plat op hun ezels en al hun hoge klinkende woordenstroom nauwelijks leiden tot een rimpel. De krant exemplaar dat werd gegeven aan het symposium was praktisch nihil, echter, moet de blootstelling aan deze geleerde heren, voordat een dergelijk onderscheiden Congres groep zijn zeer zelf-bevredigend. Ik vraag echter, die betaald voor deze waardeloze symposium waar de afwezigheid van Air Force personeel was zo opvallend? (Quintanilla 63-64)

Dit symposium bood niets in de manier van conclusies of "openbaarmaking" van alles wat. Als Quintanilla schreef, was het allemaal om het krijgen van publiciteit en tijd met het Congres. Sommige (Hynek en McDonald) zijn nog steeds bezig om gebruik te maken te krijgen om eventueel het hoofd een toekomstige regering organisatie die de Colorado project zou kunnen volgen. Dr Condon zou eindigen die lijn van denken in een snelle slag.

Condon steelt de portemonnee

In zijn conclusies van de studie, zou Condon eigenlijk schrijven dat er niets van de wetenschappelijke waarde is geleerd over UFO's en niets zal waarschijnlijk nooit worden geleerd. Hij wordt aanbevolen om bij de overheid de financiering van het UFO-onderzoek moet worden gestopt en, indien wetenschappers wilden UFO's te bestuderen, ze moet voorstellen hun eigen studies om de financiering te verwerven via de normale methoden. Het was al de USAF en het Congres wilde horen. Dr Hynek verloor zijn regering salaris, Keyhoe verloor een kans voor de overheid hoorzittingen over de zaak, en er zou geen verdere overheidsfinanciering voor een project onder leiding van UFO-voorstanders zoals McDonald of Hynek zijn. Dit is een van de redenen dat UFO-voorstanders hebben Condon en de Colorado-project belasterd. Voor hen was het einde van een tijdperk waarin UFO's serieus werden genomen door het Congres. Nu zou niemand geïnteresseerd zijn in UFO's buiten het kleine schotel clubs die nu bevolkt het landschap.

Beloften ... beloften ...

Met de Condon studie snijden de knip, de USAF al snel stapte uit de UFO-zaken en ging op weg doen wat het best is. Alle Bluebook records zou uiteindelijk worden vrijgelaten en ze snel zien dat Bluebook niet betrokken was bij een cover-up. In het ergste geval kunnen ze worden beschouwd als onbekwaam op het nemen van een bijna onmogelijke taak. De Bluebook records zou blijken dat er sprake was een poging om te proberen en onderzoekt alle verslagen die zij ontvangen als ze konden. Echter, naarmate de jaren verstreken, begonnen zij de mankracht en financiën om daadwerkelijk te kijken in elk geval missen. Hun verlangen om te onderzoeken net verdween toen het duidelijk werd dat de meeste van hen misvattingen van gewone gebeurtenissen betrokken.

Ondertussen werden NICAP en andere UFO-groepen plotseling vertrokken zonder dat iemand de schuld geven. Ze namen potshots op de Condon studie en Dr Hynek schreef een boek denigrerend de studie als onwetenschappelijk, maar dat was het. Zonder de USAF de schuld, konden alle UFO-groepen werd te proberen om particuliere financiering te krijgen voor hun "hobby". Omdat de USAF niet langer "in de weg staan", werd het veld wijd open voor deze groepen om wat vooruitgang te boeken in het wetenschappelijk bestuderen van UFO's. In plaats van proberen te profiteren van deze kans, een aantal van de clubs gewoon verdween in de vergetelheid. Anderen groeide en vulde de leegte achtergelaten, maar ze deden niets ook. Veel ging in de "postzegels verzamelen"-modus van UFO-onderzoek. Ze verzamelden UFO-rapporten die zij voelden trotseerde redelijke verklaring. Dit heeft niets oplossen maar het kwam dat het lijkt het UFO-groepen werden iets wetenschappelijk doen.

Als het geheugen van de vervaagde Condon studie, een aantal UFO-groepen het gevoel dat het Congres nog steeds zou kunnen zien dingen op hun manier. Nogmaals, ze had het gevoel dat "openbaarmaking" was net om de hoek. Met de verkiezing van president Carter, werd ervan uitgegaan dingen anders zou zijn, omdat de president beloofde een open bestuur. Sterker nog, had hij melding van een UFO-waarneming jaar voor en werd beschouwd als sympathiek tegenover de UFO-gemeenschap. In het voorjaar van 1977, zou US News and World Report schrijven:

Voordat het jaar om is, de regering - misschien wel de president - naar verwachting te maken wat wordt beschreven als een 'verontrustende onthullingen' over UFO's - ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten. Een dergelijke openbaringen, gebaseerd op informatie van de CIA, zou een omkering van het officiële beleid dat in het verleden heeft UFO-incidenten gedegradeerd zijn. (Sheaffer UFO 165)

Ondanks deze aanvankelijke optimisme, werd niets bijzonders onthuld. Carter probeerde NASA betrokken zijn, maar NASA wist wel beter. Zij zagen wat er gebeurde met de USAF en wilde geen enkel deel van het bestuderen van UFO's. Carter deed verwijder enkele geheimhouding over het onderwerp, maar ondanks zijn inspanningen om open, de last van het zijn president vereist enige geheimhouding en er waren voortdurende vorderingen van cover-up ook tijdens de Carter jaar.

Als een record gebroken, werd Keyhoe nog steeds over de buitenaardse wezens en het in de late jaren 1970. Hij vertelde de National Enquirer in het begin van 1979 dat "de recente golf van UFO-waarnemingen zou kunnen betekenen dat de buitenaardse wezens zijn klaar om zich te identificeren met ons dit jaar" (Sheaffer UFO- 164). Nogmaals, deze belofte van openbaarmaking door de buitenaardse wezens of de overheid ging onvervuld. Niet achter te blijven, zou Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) regisseur Walt Andrus verkondigen in 1983 dat een boek geschreven door Larry Fawcett en Barry Greenwood zou het deksel eraf de klep omhoog en zou "dwingen het Pentagon en onze regering geheime diensten te onthullen waarom zij hebben uitgevoerd een 'Kosmisch Watergate' of bedekken met betrekking tot hun betrokkenheid bij UFO's " (Sheaffer UFO- 164). Zoals verwacht door sceptici, deze openbaringen nooit gebleken, maar de 'Cosmic Watergate' hoek zouden worden genomen door een een van de beste promotors ufologie's, Stanton Friedman.

Het creëren van een Cosmic Watergate

Stanton Friedman was al ufologie sinds de jaren 1960 en zich graag presenteren als een wetenschapper, die bestudeert UFO's. Hij heeft een masters degree in de kernfysica, maar nooit promoveerde. Ondanks zijn vorderingen, heeft Friedman nooit echt in praktijk de wetenschap als het gaat om UFO's. Ik ben niet bewust van enige artikelen die hij geschreven heeft in wetenschappelijke tijdschriften over gedetailleerde wetenschappelijke studies van UFO's. Men zou kunnen vinden zijn oproep dat "UFO's zijn echt" in een aantal tijdschriften, of eventueel tijdschriften, maar niets dat zou kunnen worden gepresenteerd als een gedetailleerde studie van de verschijnselen. Het meeste van wat Friedman heeft geschreven is te vinden in boeken of tijdschriften in het paranormale gedeelte van de plaatselijke bibliotheek of boekhandel.

Friedman stopte met de nucleaire sector bij de financiering ging naar buiten en leerde dat hij kon geld verdienen schrijven en praten over UFO's. Hij was een zeer grote hit en de mensen hielden om hem te horen praten. Sterker nog, Friedman commentaar in een van zijn boeken, "Zoals ik gaf meer lezingen, vond ik dat ik spreek hebben genoten en dat mensen geloofden me, ONGEACHT wat ik gezegd heb (mijn cursivering) " (Friedman 9). Blijkbaar Friedman realiseerde zich dat hij iets kon zeggen, in redelijkheid, en het UFO-gelovigen zou accepteren. Als gevolg daarvan begon hij aan het idee dat de regeringen van de wereld werden een van de grootste geheimen aller tijden verbergen en de Amerikaanse overheid de controle had van dit alles te bevorderen.

In de late jaren 1970, was Friedman ontdekt Jesse Marcel Sr Hij had Friedman verteld dat hij hielp terug te herstellen van een gecrashte vliegende schotel in 1947, toen hij was gestationeerd in Roswell, New Mexico.This was de geboorte van het Roswell-legende en Stanton Friedman was daar op de begane grond. Het duurde niet lang voor Friedman om de verbinding dat dit een grote samenzwering en cover-up door de Amerikaanse overheid te maken. Ondanks het feit dat er geen documentatie om het te staven, Friedman begon te schrijven over de crash en in films over het onderwerp verschijnen. Alle het zou duren voor een of andere vorm van documentatie blijken dat steunde zijn theorie van een "Kosmisch Watergate '.

Door de late jaren 1980, Friedman betrokken raakte bij een bewijsstuk voelde hij bewees zijn zaak. Dat bewijs was de beruchte MJ-12 documenten, die waren een medewerker van Friedman gemaild onder verdachte omstandigheden . Friedman zijn goedkeuring gehecht aan de documenten als authentiek totdat het tegendeel bewezen en heeft spande zijn naam op de documenten in verschillende boeken. Zijn steun voor de authenticiteit van de documentatie in de UFO-gemeenschap wordt beschouwd als lauw in het beste geval zo snel tegenstrijdigheden verscheen in hen. Sommige ufologen zijn zo ver dat de documenten vervalsingen verklaren gegaan . In de loop der jaren meer van deze documenten beschikbaar gekomen en elke leek niet realistisch is dan het vorige document. Zelfs in 2008, meer dan 20 jaar na de MJ-12 documenten werden "vrijgelaten", Friedman en anderen verklaren deze authentieke documenten ondanks een aantal goede aanwijzingen dat dat veel, zo niet alle, zijn vervalsingen laat zien.

Door zijn associatie met Roswell en MJ-12, Friedman was een van de belangrijkste onderzoekers die in het openbaar verkondigen dat er een neergestorte schotel cover-up en het Congres moet de zaak te onderzoeken. Ufologie nogmaals, klonk de kreet van "openbaarmaking".

Resurrecting de zondebok

Het Roswell verhaal is er een die klaar was gemaakt voor samenzwering gelijkgestemde ufologen. Wat werd oorspronkelijk beschouwd als een verkeerde identificatie van een radar doel en weerballon in 1947 groeide uit tot een grote samenzwering van de Amerikaanse regering het bewijs van een neergestort buitenaards ruimteschip te verbergen en haar bemanning in de late jaren 1980. In het centrum van deze samenzwering was het favoriete doelwit ufologie, de United States Air Force. De USAF was niet geïnteresseerd in deze of enige andere UFO-geval gewoon omdat ze beter wisten dan weer betrokken bij het bedrijf. Het maakt niet uit wat ze deden, zouden ze komen de verliezer, dus ze deed niets. Ondertussen, mensen van alle lagen van de bevolking die leefde in de buurt van of in Roswell, New Mexico begon te vertellen van allerlei exotische verhalen. Uiteindelijk zou het te bereiken Congres, waar Congreslid Stephen Schiff, van New Mexico, geprobeerd om een ​​onderzoek gestart door een beroep op de General Accounting Office (GAO) te krijgen. Hierdoor zou de USAF nu verplicht om te kijken naar hun administratie en wat ze wisten te onthullen.

Conspiracy theorie weerlegd

De GAO onderzoek kwam naar voren heel weinig in de weg van 'smoking guns "in verband met Roswell. Sommige UFO-groepen zou zijn dat enkele ontbrekende Roswell berichten belangrijk zou zijn in wat wijst op een samenzwering, maar dit werd later bleek normaal te zijn en de records zijn waarschijnlijk gewoon verloren / vernietigd in de normale uitoefening van het handhaven ervan. Het was de USAF te kijken naar hun records, die een grote klap zou slaan naar de gecrashte schotel samenzweringstheoretici. Ongeveer in dezelfde tijd de USAF werd onderzoek van de zaak, had ufologen Karl Pflock en Robert Todd struikelde over een top secret project met de naam MOGUL die waren met behulp van enkele van de radar doelstellingen zien in de foto's die op het moment. De USAF zal gaan door middel van haar administratie en blijkt dat de meest waarschijnlijke bron van het afval was afkomstig van een ballon project actief is in New Mexico op het moment dat werd aangesloten op MOGUL projecteren. Bovendien zou de USAF verklaren de MJ-12 documenten vervalsingen, dat niet hebben gedaan geliefd ze aan Stanton Friedman. Wat gepland was, door ufologen als een kans voor de bekendmaking veranderde in een ontmaskering van een van de prijs ufologie's gevallen. Echter, omdat het werd ontmaskerd door de USAF, ufologen nog won de reclamecampagne door te verklaren dat de USAF het rapport slechts een voortzetting van de UFO cover-up. UFO-groepen kreeg een deel van wat ze wilden, gratis publiciteit voor hun zaak en het vermogen om de beschuldiging van een cover-up verder met de snode mensen in de regering.

Stanton Friedman en een van de NSA documenten

Het bevorderen van de UFO cover-up

Terwijl Roswell was de focus van veel ufologen, anderen probeerden meer "smoking guns" voor een cover-up te vinden door het uitvoeren van Freedom of Information Act verzoeken aan de verschillende instanties die mogelijk een verbinding met de vermeende samenzwering of een UFO-zaak. Dit leverde een aantal interessante resultaten opgeleverd, maar geen smoking gun. Aangezien er geen smoking gun te vinden, ufologen besloten om een ​​voor verkeerd voor bezorgdheid over de veiligheid in verband met een aantal van deze documenten te maken.

In 1979, ufologen probeerde te verkrijgen, via de Freedom of Information Act verzoek, alle documenten die de National Security Agency (NSA) had over UFO's. Er was een grote rechtszaak. waar een rechter niet toeliet de documenten die worden vrijgegeven. Echter, een beëdigde verklaring ingediend door de NSA met opgave van redenen waarom zij moeten worden geheim gehouden werd uitgebracht. Het grootste deel van de vrijgekomen document werd verduisterd out.UFOlogists, Stanton Friedman onder hen, sprong op en neer te verklaren was er een "Cosmic Watergate" hier en was de evidence.Friedman zou nog een stap verder te poseren voor tv-camera's houden de documenten en waarbij de overheid UFO-informatie af te houden van het publiek. Echter, Friedman vertelt alleen iedereen een deel van het verhaal als Phil Klass notes:

Friedman onthoudt willens en wetens uit zijn publiek het feit dat de zwaar gecensureerde versie van de NSA de 21-pagina gerechtelijk stuk bekendgemaakt dat het grootste deel van de documenten die worden achtergehouden waren "communicatie-inlichtingen (COMINT) rapporten." Friedman onthoudt ook van zijn publiek de verdere NSA uitleg dat deze Communications Intelligence rapporten "zijn gebaseerd op [geheim] onderschepte communicatie van buitenlandse regeringen." In de verklaring, ondertekend door een top NSA ambtenaar, Eugene F. Yates, zei hij: "Ik verklaar dat de openbaarmaking van verleden en heden buitenlandse inlichtingen-communicatie-activiteiten van de NSA geopenbaard in de administratie van de eiser [CAUS] zoekt in gevaar zou brengen zeer waardevolle bronnen van buitenlandse inlichtingendienst. " Friedman VERMELDINGEN nog nooit zo als een mogelijke verklaring of rechtvaardiging voor de acties van NSA. (Klass Friedman )

Het werd duidelijk dat Friedman niet echt geïnteresseerd in de hele waarheid komt uit, omdat hij bezig was met behulp van de documenten naar zijn idee van een "kosmische Watergate" te promoten.

Na de koude oorlog werd min of meer afgesloten, Phil Klass was in staat om de NSA te overtuigen om al haar documenten met betrekking tot UFO's vrij te geven. De vrijgegeven documenten, ook al zijn sommige delen nog werden verduisterd door wit / zwart uit, bloot waarom er zorg voor geheimhouding rond deze documenten in de jaren 1980 . De NSA had kunnen Sovjet-communicatie en de documenten beschreven Sovjet radaroperators proberen om niet-geïdentificeerde doelstellingen net zo Klass uitgelegd te volgen te controleren. Sommige gedroeg zich als ballonnen maar geen enkele bleek een buitenaardse ruimteschepen. De documenten kunnen toonde de mogelijkheden van de NSA, dat is waarom ze werden ingedeeld in de eerste plaats. Volgens Patrick Huyghe, had Klass 'aangetoond dat de gelovigen "smoking gun" vuur van welke aard dan ook miste. Het nauwelijks zelfs een spuit vol " (Huyghe). Deze stopte niet Friedman. Hij bleef de black-out documenten golf rond toen hij voor een camera of doceerde aan UFO-verdragen, ook al de documenten bevatten heel weinig of niets te maken met een "kosmische Watergate".

Er zijn honderden, zo niet duizenden, documenten vrijgegeven door de FOIA over UFO's in de afgelopen veertig-plus jaren en niet een controleerbare document (er zijn vervalsingen zijn) in staat is geweest om aan te tonen dat de Amerikaanse regering iets meer weet over UFO's dan is reeds. Ufologen blijven verkondigen dat dit document iets geeft of dat document toont er was een poging om verborg de waarheid over UFO's. Meestal is er een redelijke verklaring, maar ufologen zijn vaak te dicht-minded op een antwoord dat niet gepaard gaat met een cover-up te accepteren. De verhalen rond een complot zal verkopen boeken en vul UFO congreszalen, maar weinig anders is voltooid. Het zou niet lang duren voor, iemand nieuw naar voren en de vraag stap, maar nogmaals, dat de Amerikaanse overheid laten zien wat het weet over UFO's.

Popping de openbaarmaking ballon

De "belofte" van UFO onthulling is een mythe wordt gepresenteerd door mensen die jagen op degenen die willen geloven dat de overheid slecht is. Helaas zijn ufologen nooit bedacht dat als er een samenzwering die kan worden geheim gehouden voor meer dan zestig jaar, wat maakt ze denken dat elke poging gaat om de waarheid te onthullen? Zou een dergelijke groep, dat is zo krachtig dat het kan zijn bestaan ​​te verbergen voor Congresleden. Voorzitters en de media erg veel last van een pulp fiction schrijver, een aangespoeld kernfysicus, een heerlijkheid op zoek naar spoedeisende hulp arts, of een andere persona in verband met ufologie?

Het is belangrijk op te merken dat ufologie gaat niet over het echte wetenschappelijke onderzoek naar UFO's. Het gaat om persoonlijkheden die hebben gevonden een niche in de samenleving die hen in staat stelt om hun ego tevreden te stellen en belangrijk voor degenen die willen deze verhalen geloven verschijnen. Door het bevorderen van de mythe dat de Amerikaanse regering wordt buitenaardse wezens of informatie over UFO's te verbergen, kunnen ze doorgaan met boeken te schrijven, op "Larry King" verschijnen, en om geld te vragen van goedgelovige mensen die hen willen geloven. Met dat soort sensatiezucht wordt verkocht, is er geen reden voor veel ufologen om echt te willen "openbaarmaking". Dit is waarom "openbaarmaking", in die zin dat velen in ufologie te beschrijven, zal nooit gebeuren en waarom het is niets meer dan een mythe.

Shoot Them Down! - The Flying Saucer Air Wars Of 1952

In just June and July of 1952, the U.S. lost NINETY-FOUR fighter jets Worldwide and 51 men confirmed killed. Planes were falling to the ground two and three at a time in some cases. The entire month of September records are missing. According to the NY timesONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-TWOaircraft vanished or were destroyed between the years 1951 and 1956.

Quotes:

- Donald Keyhoe, 1955... "In 1949 the Air Force told me they had been ordered to 'get' a flying saucer by any possible means. This was admitted by an intelligence officer at the Pentagon ...Major Jere Boggs. In front of General Sory Smith, Boggs told me that one Air Force pilot had fired at a saucer over New Jersey."

- The San Francisco Examiner. July 29 1952... "The Air Force revealed today that jet pilots have been placed on twenty-four-hour nationwide 'alert' against 'flying saucers' with orders to 'shoot them down' if they refuse to land."

- The Louisville Courier-Journal. July 30, 1952... "Maj. Gen. Roger Ramey, deputy Chief of the Air Force Staff for Operations, told the news conference [July 29] that interceptor planes have raced aloft several hundred times as a result of reported sighting of unidentified objects. He said that was just standard procedure."

- Robert Farnsworth, President of the U.S. Rocket Society...Telegram to President Harry Truman, July 29, 1952: "I respectfully suggest that no offensive action be taken against the objects reported as unidentified which have been sighted over our nation. Should they be extraterrestrial - such action might result in the gravest consequences, as well as possibly alienating us from beings of superior powers. Friendly contact should be sought as long as possible." 4

- Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, 1956... "Other assorted historians point out that normally the 'UFOs' are peaceful, [fighter pilots] Gorman and Mantell just got too inquisitive, 'they just weren't ready to be observed. If the Air Force hadn't slapped down the security lid these writers might not have reached this conclusion. There have been other and more lurid 'duels of death.'"

- Leonard Stringfield, 1977... "Back in the early 1950s, when I knew of the jet scrambles that sometimes led to disaster, I agreed wirh Major Keyhoe's writings that in these we may know the intent of the UFO. I also agreed that 'losing our aircraft to the UFO' may have been the reason for official secrecy, fearing that the public would panic if they knew the truth."

- General Benjamin Chidlaw, Head of Air Defense Command...

- Uncontested quote, as told to investigative writer Robert Gardner in February of 1953. "We have stacks of reports about flying saucers. We take them seriously when you consider we have lost many men and planes trying to intercept them."

- CIA memorandum - "Subject: Flying Saucers." Dated Sept. 24, 1952... H. Marshall Chadwell, Asst. Director of Scientific Intelligence: "A world-wide reporting system has been instituted and major Air Force Bases have been ordered to make interceptions of unidentified flying objects."

- The Fullerton News-Tribune, CA July 26, 1956... "The United States Navy will not publicly admit that it believes in flying saucers, but it has officially ordered combat-ready pilots to 'shoot to kill' if saucers are encountered, OCNS [Orange County News Service] has learned. The information was first learned when Navy pilots navigating trans-Pacific routes from the United States to Hawaii were ordered in a briefing session to engage and identify ' any unidentified flying objects.' If the UFOs (saucers) appeared hostile the briefing officer told the pilots of Los Alamitos Naval Air Station reserve squadron VP 771, they are to be engaged in combat... It was found that the orders are not unusual."

- Donald Keyhoe, 1973... "In the late 1950s, as a number of futile US chases mounted, some pilots were convinced that the UFOs were immune to gunfire and rockets. Several Intelligence analysts believed the aliens might be using some negative force linked with gravity control to repel or deflect bullets and missiles. But the top control group disagreed. In a special evaluation of US. and foreign reports they found evidence that UFOs were not invulnerable. Some had been temporarily crippled, apparently from power or control failures, and a few others had been completely destroyed by strange explosions. In one or two cases, it appeared that missiles or rocket fire could have been the cause."

"Shoot Them Down"!

ReviewBy Alfred Lehmberg

10-17-7

On the "Strange Days Indeed" radio program with Errol Bruce-Knapp one Saturday night I heard Stanton Friedman say that Frank Feschino's book on the Flatwoods monster would likely never win a Pulitzer. I suspect he's, right-likely, right.

...Only... hold On. You'd be taking Mr. Friedman well out of contest if you left it, altogether, there, reader. Endeavor not to leave it there. It's likely never there, anyway!

Perhaps that Pulitzer denial would not then come as a result of reasons most immediately thought of, you know? You know what I mean.

I refer to those reasons concerning conjectured (if judgmental) mainstream assessments that Feschino's book wasn't good enough. Gifted enough. Polished enough. Detailed enough. Cited enough...

...Appropriate enough. Pertinent enough...

...Important enough? Right?

I am betting that's not Mr. Friedman's thinking! Plainly, he seems to have a key understanding just how important Feschino's book actually may be.

Perhaps arguably, a close look at Mr. Feschino's work and detailed research begs the question. Is it good enough? Is it gifted, polished, cited, appropriate, pertinent, and important... ...enough?

Consider, the aforementioned Mr. Friedman is willing to put his name on the book and write within it fore and aft! Reader!

It's been a long string of decades illustrating the issue that that honorable gentleman has failed... my friends, only with regard to disgracing himself professionally, or in any other way! Eh? I suggest Friedman's studied endorsement is compellingly invested, and a ready tell-tale for your attention, reader.

Yes! The reader discovers one doesn't have to squint ones eyes very much, if at all, to begin to wonder that the preceding might indeed be so. That's right! Feschino's book might be good enough, after all... Consider further.

What's a Pulitzer? What did Mr. Pulitzer extort the intrepid aspirates of his prize to do, anyway, but:

<a> Unflinchingly study the social, political, and moral realities of fellow human beings.

<b> Make accurate records of the expressions regarding the character displayed by these fellow

individuals, and...

<c> Report, equally unflinchingly, on the principles of the aggregate world condition as it is, and has

been, reflected by the persons employing these principles.

Unabashedly, I submit the case could be made that Mr. Feschino has abundantly addressed each of the preceding points in turn... in spades, and in extremis. That's right, too.

...But he'll never win a Pulitzer. No, reader! He can't! How does that work?

To recognize Frank Feschino for a Pulitzer is to knock a supporting cornerstone from the

edifice of a stagnant, authoritarian, officious, and largely illegitimate and irrelevant "status quo" we all continue to endure at peril to ourselves! Feschino can't get a Pulitzer, flatly, because the *establishment* lacks the righteous sack it needs to cut its own throat to give him one!

I won't pretend that this is enough justification for an *establishment's* reluctance to take its own life. Some throats, very likely, should be cut, I suspect, but I digress...

Be much of that as it may, Frank Feschino took more than 15 years of his life to rationally actualize on one startling set of very unsettling conclusions! How unsettling? Well... pretend it's something like... "humanity-in-pitched-battle-with-aliens-from-beyond-the-stars...with-a-twist, reader, and get close!

I won't apologize for that. Having looked into it myself, I can't be ashamed that I said it.

See, reader? These aforementioned conclusions themselves were all sensibly kindled by a chance serendipitous interview Feschino had made, in Flatwoods West Virginia, near the start of his remarkable 15 year quest! This interview was startling ...even during a first investigative wash when he didn't know what he had! Ufologically? Keys to a big part of the kingdom!

After that propitious interview the data would accumulate steeply over the next decade and change what began as a garden variety project in college, patient reader... into a life's work and consuming occupation! The interest is abundantly understandable.

See further! Thoughouhly investigating all aspects of an accident-site which was the result of a UFO forced down in aerial combat operations with the United States...(read that again please) ...can provoke that kind of "provoked obsession." No shame, reader, knowing how "B"-movie nuts that sounds.

I'm not making this up! Neither is Mr. Feschino. Relax. Everybody's cheese is squarely on its cracker. That's what should provoke your interest, actually.

Recapping: This reviewed book is the result of an investigative effort employed where Feschino was, again, unflinchingly steadfast in a study of the sociopolitical realities revealed to him! He was made aware of moral and ethical sub-realities that these *larger* realities further implied! Heady stuff, reader, forgetting Feschino's kept his, Stanton Friedman confirms, and I so report!

Indeed 'Reality' was revealed, considered, and then assiduously chronicled by Frank Feschino. In the final analysis (and we'd have never heard about it otherwise, good reader!), Feschino came, he saw, and he wrote it down. "Veni, vidi, scripsi," it could be said!

The data are revealing, reader! Feschino reports them to us in detail. Indeed, we weren't in 'Kansas' any more after 1952... and may not, I submit (remembering a wealth of old history scribed in old ink and stone... ...epic poetry indicating same?), have ever been in 'Kansas'! Roll that and smoke it!

Call the Ayahauscaroes, alert the Shamans, and get Dr. Strassman on the line! The kingdom is at hand. The mundane plane is pierced! Let's move on!

We're not in 'Kansas'... now, reader! Got it?

Moreover, get used to it, even as it is more good news, really, is my suspicion. The future looms.

Back to the discussion at hand, the aforementioned and tumultuous "interview", an interview with the ranking military person peculiarly involved with the Flatwoods affair (...a vetted hard as nails hero of WWII...) ...occurred in a moment of idle interest born of a distracted and tentative conjecture on the part of an unassuming and non-presupposing Mr. Feschino! At the start? Feschino didn't give a tinker's damn about UFOs!

Mr. Feschino's initial interest, actually, in the beginning, was with regard to a little throw-away film documentary he might put together, about the Flatwoods "myth," ...to satisfy a course-requirement for school, remember! What it turned into would be a taproot into the most important events of our (...and any other!) time, or... yes...

Even more compelling evidence that we are not alone in billions of years of space, time, and surface area... a googolplex of alien surface areas and maybe even a googolplex of aliens to inhabit them!

More, anyway, than the reader can imagine is stealthily hidden behind a grain of sand held at arms length into a night's starry sky, sir or madam! True enough! Be humbled.

The warm breath of an un-guessed infinity of potentiality is only the beginning of the beginning for all of us. More good news, if inexorable in its approach! Feschino writes the preamble of all that.

We are not alone, folks. An antithesis is ludicrous. Moreover, all the major propeller heads, a few of the high-domes, and a smattering of leading-edge, vetted, and credentialed intelligentsia think it's ludicrous, too. I digress, again. Sorry, not.

Something occurred in Flatwoods of Braxton County, West Virginia September 12,

1952 that was just the tip of an iceberg, reader! The data are beyond convincing! See if that isn't so!

Something occurred (is occurring?) as surely as flying saucers came close to landing on the White House lawn in July of that same year... and they did come close to landing on the lawn, reader. Believe that, too!

In the town of Flatwoods, Braxton county West Virginia... on a warm Indian Summer evening and interrupting playing children and relaxing adults at the end of their working day... begins the strangest story never told. Multiple objects interacted with multiple witnesses, people were made ill... ...and a dog ran home in gibbering fright... then subsequently died! None of the participants involved in this eerie affair were ever the same again.

Justifying that aforementioned Pulitzer, Mr. Feschino makes a durable record of the expressions of character displayed by dozens of individuals concerned with, and material to, this matter... people both guilty and innocent in the matter... by persons both truth telling and glibly lying regarding the matter... by folks both brave and cowardly, warm and cold... by persons encountered on a foggy 'audit trail' Feschino was driven to plod... ...a trail rife with dead ends, detours, and official double-dealings...

Feel the outrage with regard to the systemic disrespect with which YOU are treated, reader, by a jealous and corrupted culture of needless secrecy! Feel the burn!

It's quite a ride. Mr. Toad is efficaciously eclipsed Mr. Feschino! Moreover, in truth, the satisfied requirements for Mr. Feschino's Pulitzer seem to steadily resolve! I spit in the mainstream eye!

More coal to Newcastle, but Mr. Feschino risked bodily harm on numerous occasions during his investigation. This threat would come, ironically, as a result of the very persons from which he'd have to draw his story. Consider.

In fourteen years Mr. Feschino was too often mistaken for the same kind of glib cheap-shot-artist reporter or faux-journalist *investigator* who'd glutted the area since that fateful night... ax-grinding skepti-bunkers coyly generating the disdain, the derision, and the patent disrespect stalwart Flatwoods witnesses had had to endure for half a century ... an unwarranted contempt and ridicule officiously imposed that innocent people unjustly suffered... punished by their own society for having the temerity to stand up and report the highly strange account they had all had on that warm if bizarre September night!

I suspect Feschino had his shirt-front grabbed more that a few times by this angry group of betrayed citizenry. He was so threatened on more than one occasion...

Again, with regard to Pulitzer, the questions remain begged! Has not Mr. Feschino reported on the principles of the aggregate world and the condition reflected by them? Has he not spent many years tirelessly trying to ferret out important details that would have gone undiscovered and unreported but for his painstaking research, tedious dot connecting, and unflinching perseverance?

Has he not validated a couple of generations of innocent persons trying to come to grips with the inexplicable thrust upon them? Has he not vindicated these people to some extent and alleviated some of their suffering as a result of his work? Such a person may have earned more than a mere Pulitzer at the denouement. Verily!

Does 'Nobel' have a category that applies? Unabashed to the last, remember!

All things equal? Feschino earns his Pulitzer. He has more sack than many who've aspired to that prize, I suspect. Moreover, I'll bet Mr. Friedman agrees with me. Feschino wins my award, at any rate.

Along those same lines, Mr. Feschino can not be faulted for his brave attempt to fill the societally imposed "information void" (he suffers with the rest of us) by starting at the end of an incredible story rife with suspicious details and curious facts... and then working arduously -- modeling, graphing, and plotting backwards on that stark and hostile trail... trying, thoughtfully, to connect those aforementioned ephemeral dots... flesh out one more 'official' story that won't add up from the 'official' account... This is a key concept, folks!

Indeed, his admitted *conjecturing* and clearly identified personal (if provoked!) *belief* may actually add up, ironically, to the astonishing story he reports in his book!

It just may be, reader, that given the clear evidentiary audit trail of same...(read again please)...that there was an aerial battle with ET out in the Atlantic that night in 1952. It may be that 8 to 10 American jets were destroyed in that struggle, alone, their crews lost. Perhaps one Lt. Jones and crew, valiantly sacrificing themselves, even rammed one of the UFOs, bravely, with his plane in the one-sided fight Humanity likely provoked... and lost!

Also consider... given that a postwar American military was aggressively over-touchy and otherwise spring-loaded on the balls of their very twitchy feet... especially after the repeated UFO over-flights of prohibited airspace in Washington D.C. the previous July... it's not that much of a stretch that it would react decisively to multiple UFO's and heir blithe transgressions over an imaginary fighting line on the coastal ADIZ (Air Defense Identification Zone)... ...with folding-fin aerial rockets and exploding 50 caliber machine gun fire! Yes!

Further, Feschino's speculation is not remotely unreasonable given the statement by Benjamin Chidlaw, a four star general commanding the very high-profile "Air Defense Command", to wit: that many "planes and crews" had been "lost" trying to "intercept UFOs"... these are his words, it is reported. This is forgetting, reader, the "many lurid duels of death," reported by Edward Ruppelt, Air Force UFO point-man vis a vis "Project Bluebook."

Mr. Feschino is not making the story up, at any rate, I'm confident. Mr. Feschino is trying to make sense of the very real story that is already there, I do believe. Extant is a sincerity in his book, as a result, that this writer can relate to and find some substance in, I not so humbly report.

Additionally, I don't believe, especially after having spoken with him for many hours (where I asked some pretty pointed questions), that Mr. Feschino has it in him to write a sociopathic fiction, fobbed off to the credulous as fact to crab their dollars... then smirk at that betrayed reader's "nose-bubble credulity" as he orders up goth-hookers and greasy-cheeseburgers...

No, Feschino's only telling you the credible story he knows, or... he is otherwise hanging some 'substance' on the astonishing facts that he has, undeniably, uncovered! Veni, vidi, scripsi, friends and neighbors. Verily, Feschino is the very best, shocked and truly concerned with what the hell happened to 100's of likely terrified aviators who flew right into the teeth of pretty strange stuff following orders to "Shoot Them Down"!

There is more there, more to the story, than you get in the published book, reader... witnesses you don't hear from... alluded to are the unsolicited and credible reports about other involvements, other sightings in the area, and still other startling corroborations of fact and circumstance attendant to the whole astonishing affair! It's breathtaking, actually.

Also, it's all very hard to discount intellectually. Increasingly so. Try!

An extraterrestrial being (or artifact of ET intelligence) arrived Earth-side in a damaged craft... rightly or wrongly terrorized an entire town of good, sober, and horse-sensed people in September of 1952, and then the government worked furiously to cover it all up... impugning the honor of the aforementioned soldiers and citizenry (and ourselves!) in the process... the very tip of the obligatory iceberg. Feschino tells the whole story!

Tragic, needless, andsuspicious madness, reader. You'll be amazed!

As Feschino wrote to me in the inscription of the review copy he sent:

"The questions and answers I have provided in this book are only the beginning..." Buckle-up, folks. Extinguish your smokes. Prepare for take-off!

See, I suspect that quote comes up as a bit of an understatement from Mr. Feschino. But that's only my feeling. I'm comfortable going with it. I submit you can too.

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over: Alabama, California, Florida, Kentucky, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.

Sightings of UFOs were also reported in Argentina, Australia, Canada, Columbia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Philippines, Spain, South Africa, and England in the United Kingdom.

The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force. Under Project Blue Book, the US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years; and we continue this research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO's are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Special Reports

Dave MacDonald Is New Director of MUFON

The Captain is the new International Director of MUFON. He runs his own airline and training center and we are in good hands with Dave. He has a great personality and smile.

I will miss Clifford Clift and the great leadership he provided. I expect MUFON to grow because more people are seeing UFOs daily. MUFON recorded 758 sightings in January, and people are calling me almost every day with sightings. It won't be long before the news media starts to realize the reality of the phenomenon.

Is there a Space War?

Harry Allen Jordan MFA writes, "Dr. John Kasher is a physics professor at the University of Nebraska in Omaha, and State Director for the Mutual Unidentified Flying Object Network of Nebraska. He was a consultant at Lawrence Livermore Labs in California and presently a summer consultant on plasma physics at Huntsville for NASA.

Dr. Kasher and I have personally investigated over 50 cases related to UFO's. These cases involve people from age 5 to 70's. We have video tapes of private interviews, physical trace cases, and lab reports. Some of these cases involved events which occurred on the ground simultaneous with STS-NASA missions. There are uncut, unenhanced video tapes produced by live-real-time NASA select 6 camera shots taken aboard the space shuttle. Cameras aboard the shuttle are monitored, the video signals are delayed several seconds and sometimes minutes before being fed to public video feed networks. Immediately after the STS-48 mission UFO mission flap in which Dr Kasher and I were involved, NASA began to delay the live feed. Their premise for altering the video coverage of each mission was that they didn't want the world privy to the medical condition of the astronauts. This is pure hogwash as never has the medical condition of the astronauts been public knowledge through video monitoring to public channels. We have a copy of the original NASA directive which went out from NASA to all ground facilities the day after STS-48 the UFO flap.

The UFO's which currently fly on station when the shuttle is up are being fired upon by high performance craft using state of the art particle beam weapons. The very character of a particle beam does not need an atmosphere to be seen it imparts its own coherence upon the vacuum of space. We have video tapes of STS-missions as recent as STS-80 during the month of March 1997, wherein one can clearly see these beams coming up from the earth through the cloud cover below the space shuttle. What concerns us most here from our personal field experience is that out of all our private interviews with eye witnesses not one instance of a negative or sordid nature has been told to us. Virtually all close encounters on the ground have been very passive, bizarre and extraordinary to ordinary people. It is with great concern for our fellow Americans and citizens of the world at large we question the reasons for why UFO's are being fired upon.

What the federal government of the United States of America knows about UFO's is not being shared. I question the current status of this posture and reasoning behind it. These matters might well be beyond knowledge of the Senate, Congress and perhaps even the President of the United States. If public hearings were held regarding these scenario's there will be some red faces at the Pentagon and NASA regarding the issues of UFO's and the reality of their occupants. Many decent law abiding Americans have had real experiences and are prepared to come forward to share proofs. The truth needs to be brought forward without further hesitation.

Is UFO Laying on the Bottom of the Baltic Sea?

Daily Mall -- United Kingdom Sonar Image of Object Submerged in Baltic Sea. The Unidentified Object Resembles The Star Wars Ship The Millennium Falcon and appears to be damaged.

A Swedish Shipwreck surveyors company named Ocean Explorer have discovered an unidentified object using their sonar technology in a secret location in the Baltic Sea. Because of a lack of funding and bad timing, they have not been able to pull a team together to see for themselves. Their sonar pictures show that the object is a massive cylinder with a 60 metre diameter and a 400 metre-long tail.

A similar disk-shaped object was also found about 200 metres away. The sonar picture of the unidentified object resembles the famed Star Wars ship the Millennium Falcon. We've heard lots of different kinds of explanations, from George Lucas's spaceship to it's some kind of plug to the inner world,' like it should be hell down there or something,' said Peter Lindberg, a diver on the team. While the Ocean Explorer team is understandably excited about their potentially earth-shattering find, others are slightly more skeptical and are questioning the accuracy of the sonar technology. In the past, such technology has confused foreign objects with unusual- but natural- rock formations.

For now, Ocean Explorers have to wait to find out until chaotic water conditions calm down in order to allow a manned expedition. Additionally, they are looking for financial backers to help aid the cost of the discovery process. The Star Wars Ship Millennium Falcon

Part of the trouble they face, however, is that they have no way of telling what is inside the supposed cylinder, whether it is filled with gold and riches or simply aged sediment particles. They're hoping for the former, and history seems to be in their favor. The Baltic Sea is a treasure trove for shipwreck hunters, as an estimated 100,000 objects lining the cold sea's floor. The company has created a submarine that they hope will appeal to tourists and shipwreck hunters who will pay to take a trip down to the bottom of the Baltic Sea to see for themselves.

Ukraine Hot Line

A new UFO reporting hotline has opened in Kiev, Ukraine. The UFO reporting hotline is staffed by amateur UFO researchers who will field questions and take reports about unexplained flying objects and other phenomena.

The website of Radio Ukraine International, reported that the staff of the new UFO reporting hotline decides which of the reported UFO sightings will be investigated by researchers. Investigations will be handled by the Zond Center for the Study of Anomalous Phenomena, which is also located in Ukraine.

A recent caller to this new hotline reported a metallic UFO as well as crop circles in the fields near the capital of Ukraine. The metallic UFO was described as having a cubic form.

Australia Prime Minister Julia Gillard Threatens

Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying she supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques teaching hate. Quote: "IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT... Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians. 'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.' 'We speak mainly ENGLISH, Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!' 'Most Australians believe in God.

This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.' 'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.' 'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.' 'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'

Those Strange Sounds?

Yes, I think the critters are doing it. Fear mongering which is what they do with Abductees and me. They instill fear first by using harassment, and then they come in for the attack trying to grab you. Not a pleasant thought...You can't see the source of the sounds, but they are sitting up there completely stealthy...Rmc

Witness Handles Roswell Wreckage

WRIGHT PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE -- June Crain called detective Sergeant James Clarkson in 1997, to share her firsthand account of working at Wright Patterson AFB from 1942 to 1952. June claims to have handled unusual metal parts of a flying saucer, taken dictation from Werner Von Braun, and been told of three UFO crashes. She claims to have held a Top Secret Q clearance and been asked to sign a "TOO HOT" memo as a result of a careless Master Sergeant announcing he had just flown in from New Mexico with alien bodies and wreckage.

According to Dr. Bob and Ryan Woods, "Her story continues to validate the contents of the Majestic documents in both powerful overt and subtle ways. June was the only known surviving member of the parachute group of Wright Field. The documents clearly show that June worked at Headquarters Air Materiel Command (AMC), Area A, Supply Division Equipment Section, Materials Branch, photographic unit in 1948. She passed away on August 23, 1998, yet she left plenty of evidence behind that is available at www.majesticdocuments.com

Iranian Submarines

Filer's Files # 4 stated, The Islamic Republic of Iran has a small naval fleet that includes: destroyers, frigates, Kaman class missile boats, three Russian Kilo class submarines, and seventeen midget submarines with Hoot torpedoes designed to operate in the Persian Gulf.

Carl Leonard states, "The original order was for five of the ww II diesel class Russian subs, back in 1991, they were out fitted with surface to air missiles in Gdansk ship yard in 1992. This was in Dacorsy news, (now owned by Janes), and also on CNN. According to the CNN report it was stated the Pentagon assured CIA concerns that this represented no threat to the U.S. July 17, 1996. TWA flight 800 went down by missile fire from a surface craft, Countless witnesses verified a signature from a Soviet built surface fired missile. Now five were delivered yet they only have three. Hmmmm! Someone lost count? . Thanks to Carl Leonard. Editors' Note: A US Carrier Task Force is now patrolling off Iran.

A Ring-Shaped Aircraft Carrier

A New Hampshire reader suggests anyone sighting an orange fireball UFO should use binoculars. My daughter's husband saw four orange fireballs in Anchorage, Alaska on January 23, 2012. He probably will not report it, but this inspires me to tell you what I found out.

Two years ago I saw one of those orange fireballs that I reported to MUFON. If you look at one of those through binoculars, you can see that they are a ring-shaped aircraft carrier. At least the one I saw was that. Apparently the fireball look is some kind of mask to hide their identity. The one I saw was carrying over a dozen smaller craft inside the ring. It released one of them which appeared as a bright silver star, moving in the opposite direction. If these fireball things are all what I saw, there must be some huge operation afoot for so many people to be seeing them. A reader in NH

Editor's Note: Nasa is installing a network of surveillance cameras called the All-Sky Fireball Network to track meteorites as they enter the Earth's atmosphere. Each of the cameras has a special lens that can view the entire sky above it and a black and white video recorder that documents any meteors that are brighter than Venus nightly. The cameras have overlapping fields of view to ensure that the same meteorite can be detected by more than one camera. Nasa can triangulate the fireball to assess where the meteorites came from and where they will land to help scientists recover space rock and help inform spacecraft designers striving to design meteor-proof shuttles. They may be aware some may be space craft.

Howard Menger's Electro-gravatic Craft

Lance Winkler writes, "Another man who actually created a working model of an "electro- gravatic craft would be Howard Menger of Vero Beach, Florida. He was the last of the 1950's contactees and passed away recently but told me quite a story both humorous and edifying.

In the early 50's, his ET contacts spoon-fed him enough information for him to make a 4-foot diameter "electro-gravitic" saucer-shaped craft he dubbed the X-01. He personally told me this tale about how he spent a large amount of money (darn near his life's savings) on building the thing and took it out to a field at High Bridge, New Jersey in the early 50's for its maiden test flight.

Operated by a primitive hand-held remote control panel, he sent the ship up to hovering about five hundred feet above the ground. He then sent the model skittering off to the east and stopped it about a thousand feet away; then he brought it back the other way but hit the power button too hard and the thing went accelerating off to the west at a high rate of speed and he was unable to stop it.

He felt totally dejected as the model saucer had no "If found, return to" label on it. About three weeks later, the FBI came knocking at his door with the still-intact model in their van, asking him if it was his? He replied in the affirmative and they returned the model to him.

The model apparently was found by a farmer in his field near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border and who called the local police who in-turn called the FBI. The FBI traced it back to him thru a special-order high-voltage discharge battery purchased by Howard Menger. Needless to say, he was very glad to have it back.

He also attracted the attention of the U.S. Air Force, who supposedly dragooned him into service helping to build a larger prototype at Colorado Springs, Co. in later years. Thanks to Lance Winkler Dayton, Ohio

Sightings in the United States

Alabama Two Cylinders

Hackneyville -- Mike F writes, "About noon on January 18, 2012, I was driving south on Alabama Highway 63 where it crosses 9, there is really nothing out there other than thick woods. A quarter a mile ahead of me, and flying very low about 200 feet above the trees, were two cylinder objects, one trailing the other. My first thought was why were ICBM missiles or an Apollo Saturn 5 type rocket here?

Then I noticed the white/silvery color of each without markings of any kind, and they had no fins like you see on missiles. There was no one else on the road. They made no sound, had no vapor trail or flames. They were each a 100 feet long moving at a fair speed, and disappeared quickly. A drawing enclosed is what I observed. Thanks to MUFON CMS

HUNTSVILLE -- Carol and Leo LaPlante write, "On January 19, 2012, at 10:56 PM,
last night I saw a real ufo bright up very bright in the sky and flew over at high speed. It then flew lower with a long flare in back of the ship. They are really out there when they say ufos are watching earth ... they are here.
"Tonight January 28, 2012 6:21 PM, its a good time for ufos as I was outside looking near the moon and I saw a bright light that got brighter and shot off to black. After that I saw a bright object, that made no sound, no blinkers, and not to hghi up near the moon. It disappeared in the darkness after going left of the moon. It was weird. Thanks to Carol and Leo LaPlante

California Light

WINDSOR -- I was in my sunroom on January 29, 2011, and noticed these objects around 6:40 to 10:30 pm. These objects slowly hover above the city, not following the sideral path of the stars. These objects flicker and change shape, but amazingly, no one takes a look at them. These objects disappear around 10:30 PM, but sometimes show up again in the morning. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Sightings

OCALA -- I saw UFOs for three days going in the same way every time trying to get a better video of it, but I don't have a night vision camera. I was standing in my back yard looking for a UFO and then for some reason I turned around then there it was. I tried to get it on video but I it was going too fast. The second night it came at the same time between 7-9 pm, and I got it on the second night and the third night which is January 28, 2012. It was flying at the same direction and speed but I couldn't get to the camera in time's hope you can clarify the video better. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Kentucky Two Objects

RICHMOND -- I was taking my trash can to the curb when this pulsating star like light caught my eye on January 27, 2012. I watched thinking it could be a plane when I saw there were two objects, one atop the other. I went and got some binoculars and could see the objects were pulsating with several color of lights. I went inside got my wife and she saw the same objects.

New Jersey Triangular Craft

CAMDEN -- Albert Eriggins called, "I saw ten UFOs on January 27, 2012, around noon on Market Street that were high up in the sky coming from the direction of South Philadelphia going northeast.
The craft were triangles that looked like flying arrowheads flying in formation. I saw two triangular shape objects, then four, two, and then two closer and lower. The first eight shined like the sun on chromium and the last two were darker. They made no noise unlike any of the planes landing at Philadelphia Airport a few miles away. Last two were about the size of airliners and gaining altitude. Thanks to Albert Eriggins

Ohio Bright Orb Sightings

LIMA -- At around 7:30 pm, on January 25, 2012, I went outside for a breath of fresh air and a smoke; and, saw a high flying red/orange oblong O moving south. I got my maglight and lit it up by strobing SOS; they seem to like that or at least respond to it.
After a few minutes another one showed up so I lit it up too... It dropped out of the sky like a rock, with a bright red light strobe all the way down. But before it hit the ground it pulled up and wondered off southwest. When it dropped out of the sky I could hear a jet hit it's after burner and take off from the base and make a bee line straight to where I live and chase the second O.

It caught up with the second disabled O that was wondering off and flashing to the southwest of me. I must have accidently hit the one that was on station [watching me???], close to the 1st O that was in high orbit; and confused it so it had to be recalibrated back at the base. I must have accidently hit it right off the bat :) the skies are full again George and all is well.

I just hope they don't send a the bill for screwing up their spy O!. My maglight is not bright just an old dim 3D cell light. They must be real sensitive and be able to hover on station for weeks at a time, without any nav lights on them at all; and I accidently hit it dead on!
People have no idea what's going on over their heads!
Thanks to JS

Oregon Strange Object Photographed and Light Filled Room

SISTERS -- We received a sighting report, and several interesting photographs, from a very experienced airline pilot, who inadvertently captured a very strange, high-speed, object with his camera, as he was flying his Grumman "Albatross from Seattle to Los Angeles on September 16, 2011,. Orange Dart-like craft passes our aircraft at close proximity in flight

I am an airline transport pilot with over 14,000 flight hours in unique aircraft such as the HU16b that I am flying in these pictures. I am also a certified A&P mechanic and an IA or inspector. The Albatross we have is used as a test bed for Satellite broadband internet. We are one of the few companies in the world that has airborne satellite systems for high-speed internet my plane is full of sophisticated equipment+.

I have better than 20/20 vision and I usually can spot any balloon from a great distance and I am trained to do so. I see them all the time. The object was literally a blur and I didn't see it as it was moving in the same direction as my plane. I took three pictures with my iphone as I was just trying to get a shot of "Sisters" and Mount Jefferson. The plane cannot be a balloon cluster as this thing passed us. In our opinion, the object appears to be reminiscent of an SR-71, but they are not painted orange. If anyone can identify let us know?

Coos Bay -- On January 22, 2012, at 2:15 am, my boy friend, and i woke up to a strange high pitched hum noise. I sat up in bed and look at my window when all of a sudden a flash of green and white light filled our entire room. I quickly pulled the curtains back and saw something in the sky. It only lasted a second when I hear an extremely loud thud like the sound a plane breaking sound barrier along with another small flash of light and it zoomed off to the left. The aircraft was small and football shaped with the bright green and white lights on the back of it.

Then last night one of my good friends saw almost the same exact thing. Thanks to Billie Moon

Puerto Rico Lights

SALINAS -- I was alone with my 11 year old daughter, and looked out the window on January 23, 2012, to see this white light. I kept starring at it as the lights were flashing intermittent, red, white, and blue colors. The object was still for a couple of minutes and asked my daughter to bring me the camera phone and I recorded for two minutes of maneuvering lights. I showed my husband the video and his co workers the video. We have seen the lights many times. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Tennessee Lights

Pauline Petsel writes, "A couple weeks ago about January 15, 2012, I looked outside to see if there were any more flashing lights in the sky which I'd been photographing off and on for three years. In fact by word of mouth I found several others watching this stuff and a group called Sky Watchers formed. We keep in contact through Facebook.

One woman who lives five miles closer than I to the mountain range has taken pictures similar to mine. We have both been seeing things every night the last three months at 8:45-9:15 PM, I did get a chance once to see what she was getting and hers looked just like mine but a different angle.

About two weeks ago I looked out and saw a couple flashing lights but was amazed to see what I thought was a faded colored orange blimp looking thing lazily crossing just above the Viking Mountain range. I didn't see any lights, just the image. I have my Nikon D 300 on a vibration controlled tripod and use a shutter release cord. I set the ISO to 3200. The thing moved so slow that I got four pictures in the same view finder. I never saw the 'blimp looking object' do anything at all. However while I was looking elsewhere and still clicking, my camera seemed to pick up weird motion. At church I mentioned what I saw to a retired military pilot who claim that he and his wife had watched the same object themselves, but 'they' saw it moving and jumping all over the place.

The six mile area we see clearly of the Mt. range took the object 4 minutes 44 seconds to move across going 45-48 miles an hour. We saw it between 8:45-9:15 PM. Another couple from church who saw it live 20 miles away from us saw it at 12:45 PM. They watched its slow progression for 28 minutes and then they said it turned and shot upward into the sky!

The pictures that I got are unbelievable enough with the twists and turns. One picture looks like a signature! But it isn't. It's just more of its reforming. I have four people that also saw it. Editor's Note: Advertising Blimps can be mistaken for UFO.

Texas bright Lights

Sierra Blanca -- My girlfriend and I were taking Route I10 at 7:24 am, on January 17, 2012, about 50 miles east of El Paso, and I observe a bright white light to the north. The sun had been up for about an hour. After ten seconds it blinks out, leaving an empty blue sky. My girlfriend is sound asleep and I see another bright white light to the east at the same altitude and intensity as the first. I watch for several seconds before the light begins to fade in a circular motion, as if the light were rotating around the object - from a bright white to dullish silver, to a dark grey, to a faint egg-on-its-side silhouette before completely vanishing again.

For the next several minutes, I searched the skies in vain as the lights did not make reappearance. I am truly dumbfounded. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Virginia Video over Downtown

RICHMOND -- Bill Bean writes, "The five objects I saw were very close together in Maryland like the objects I just found in this video shot on January 20, 2012. It looks like the videographer was filming from an office high off the ground, over downtown Richmond, probably from the Federal Reserve building? Lights fade and return in video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLxL3uhoa-4&feature=player_embedded Thanks to Bill Bean

Argentina Lights

LUGANO -- I was on the terrace in my home in Lugano on January 26, 2011, when suddenly a strong wind started to blow, so went to lock the door and saw three lights up high in the sky. The lights got away so fast to the west and suddenly they change their form. First they were in lineal form, and then changed to a triangular one that disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Australia Gigantic Light

SOUTH -- My partner was in the backyard looking up at the stars at 10:20 pm, on January 27, 2011, and yelled out for me to come and see this huge light. I grabbed our camera and ran outside and it was three times bigger than Sirius. I started videotaping, and the stars are pin pricks, and moving in between them is a gigantic light. It moved relatively slow at first, you can see it pass the stars so you can tell the speed!

My partner shouts out that there's another smaller star coming up behind it. Both lights seem to be single and unwavering. I zoomed in on the big light that was cut off at the top. The second dimmer light comes up behind the first huge light and within a couple of seconds it seems like the brightest object has noticed the smaller one and decides to take off and speed away!

On the video you can see the huge light pass by the much smaller stars, so it's easy to see that it increased its speed by triple or more. As the huge object disappeared it very quickly gets smaller and redder and then it's just gone. The first object was scared away by the second. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Lights

STANLEY MISSION, SK -- My wife had gone outside to have a cigarette and she had come back inside all excited saying something was in the sky. I don't know what the object is but I have seen it on two separate occasions this summer. The object resembles a star but is much too low on the horizon and much brighter than the rest. It stayed in one spot for about ten minutes then slowly faded out the same as previous two sightings. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Columbia Ovni

CURICO -- It was just like two seconds when I was taking pictures on January 28, 2012, of the dark of the night.

I then see a light that was there and see the Ovni (UFO) in the picture.

Costa Rica Flashing Lights near Arenal Volcano

El Tanque de La Fortuna -- On January 21, 2012, at 3 AM, I got up and noticed a flashing light through a frosted glass window. I went into the living room and saw alternating red, blue, and white lights. The white light was very bright. The lights seemed to be to the north (right) of the Arenal Volcano or perhaps between me and the volcano. I watched for about five minutes and then went back to bed. I live near the Arenal airport, but it's a daylight only strip. I am a retired Registered Nurse (Masters Degree).

Mexico Plane Stops

Cuernava -- We were having dinner on January 16, 2012, when my neighbor saw a red light that seemed bigger than a plane and was moving faster. At first we thought it was an airplane as the light was at first moving fast and suddenly stopped for a few seconds and then just kept moving. My uncle was scared, and we tried to film it but it was too far away. The object gained altitude and flew out of sight. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

Philippines Red Orbs

I saw two red like orbs around 9:40 pm here in the Philippines on January 30, 2012. I thought it was just a couple of planes but I saw them collide and then they were gone like jet stream like manner. Thanks to dolf and UFOinfo.com.

Spain UFO chasing birds on Highway

Medina -- The UFO was chasing birds at around 300 feet altitude on January 19, 2012, at 3 PM. It changed its shape and color, and it would glow 'coldly'. No other emissions seen or noticed. The photograph was taken from inside the car. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

South Africa "V" Shape Ball With Two Trails Like The Peace Sign

Potchefstroom -- On January 1, 2012, a ball with two trails in the shape of a "V", like the peace sign with your fingers disappearing from high in the sky to the horizon. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director National UFO Reporting Center http://www.UFOcenter.com/

United Kingdom, England

MID LOTHIAN -- From November through December there seemed to be a lot of activity over East-Mid Lothian. The first thing I saw was a blue ball streak fly across my house then climb into the clouds and vanish. It left a sparkle trail behind it. The next sighting was a gold colored ball moving toward the Pentland Hills. It appeared to land then takeoff and returns the way it had come, moving south. The next incident was a cream glow like a pearl light bulb which floated in a random pattern across the roof of my house. My friend witnessed this with me, as I was very excited about this third sighting. I waved at it and shouted come back. Another friend turned up and I told her about my encounters, when suddenly I heard a voice in my head, say come outside, we're back. I was awestruck.

The next one is a star that moves far quicker across the horizon than the rest of the stars, moving about 20 degrees in half an hour. I got the telescope out and saw a red, blue, and green plasma ball. I thought maybe mercury looked like this, but it appeared to drop molten silver looking tears that then flew off. A few weeks later, about 7:30 PM, a bright light appeared moving with excessive speed then vanished. Later that night I asked out loud, "If you are alien show me something. At that moment, a light appeared and got really big and bright, and then it faded as I saw a grey rectangular shaped object that vanished. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UFO Tracked on Radar at Minot AFB: It Was Near Nuclear Missile Sites At The Time

By Robert Hastings www.ufohastings.com 1-28-12

     This follow-up article compliments the last one I posted.

During the pre-dawn hours of October 24, 1968, a UFO was tracked at Minot AFB—by the base’s weather radar as well as onboard a B-52 Stratofortress bomber preparing to land at the base. Significantly, this simultaneous tracking occurred during the same period of time when USAF missile security teams and missile maintenance teams were reporting UFOs maneuvering near Minuteman missile Launch Facilities (LFs) O-6 and N-7.

Over a five year-period, researchers Tom Tulien and Jim Klotz painstakingly investigated the events which occurred at Minot that early morning in 1968, interviewing many eyewitnesses and reviewing numerous declassified USAF files and radarscope photographs. In fact, this case is so spectacular and so well-documented, ABC Television chose to include a detailed discussion of it in its February 2005 two-hour special, UFOs: Seeing is Believing, hosted by the late Peter Jennings.

Tulien notes for the record, “The contents of the National Archives and Records Administration’s (NARA) USAF Project Blue Book microfilm file regarding the Minot incident (case number 12,548), consists of over 130 pages dated from 24 October 1968 to 14 November 1968.” The final report on the Tulien/Klotz investigation is now online and incorporates those declassified Project Blue Book files as well as additional witness testimony.¹

On 24 October 1968, at 2:15 a.m., 14 miles east-northeast of N-7, a missile security camper team posted at LF O-6 notified the Flight Security Controller (FSC) at the Oscar Flight Launch Control Facility that they were observing a UFO near their position. The camper team reported that, from their vantage point, the UFO had disappeared behind some trees. At the time, a missile targeting team was at work at O-6. Immediately after being notified of the situation by the FSC, the Combat Targeting Commander ordered his team to abort their work, secure the LF, and return to base.

At 2:30 a.m., two missile technicians assigned to the 91st Missile Maintenance Squadron (MIMS), Airmen 1st Class Lloyd Isley and Robert O’Connor, reported observing a strange light in the eastern sky while traveling to Minuteman Launch Facility N-7 for a routine procedure. Based on the documentation it appears as though it was the same UFO sighted earlier at O-6. Based on reports he was receiving from the maintenance team, the Base Operations dispatcher noted this in his log at 3:00 a.m.: “object S/E of N-7 moving toward site with brilliant light like the sun. Lights flashing on and off. It’s too brilliant and big for an aircraft now moving south and hovered over N-7 [my emphasis], turned green, amber off and on.” O’Connor later reported that the UFO “appeared self-luminous like a big ball of white light that seemed to change to a dim green light then later to a dim amber color.”²

The maintenance team notified Transportation Control and Base Operations, then radioed the FSC upon entering the site, at which point they reported the UFO to him. Eventually, both the FSC and his two-man Security Alert Team observed the UFO from their positions at the November Launch Control Facility. All of the observers, both maintenance and security personnel, reported that the UFO was extremely bright and had the ability to hover, as well as to move abruptly at great velocity.

Sgt. Bond hastily dispatched the SAT team to N-7. While en route, both men reported that a second UFO had appeared east of their position and then flew toward the first object, which was still located near the LF. After maneuvering near each other in the sky for a brief period, one of the UFOs suddenly disappeared.

In his report, researcher Tulien states, “During the period [that the November Flight SAT team was] on the road, the Wing Security Controller noted in his summary that between 3:20 and 3:25 a.m. ‘SSgt Smith at Oscar-1 saw the object separate in two parts and go in opposite directions and return and pass under each other. At this time Juliet Flight and Mike Flight Team observed the same things and described it in the same way.’”³

While these startling events were unfolding, the pilot of a B-52 returning to Minot after a 10-hour training mission received a radio call from the base’s Radar Approach Control (RAPCON) center, asking him to look for any unusual “orange glows” from his position. According to the declassified transcript of the radio conversation, the RAPCON controller told the bomber’s pilot and co-pilot, “Someone is seeing flying saucers again.”⁴ He then told them where to look. Shortly thereafter, RAPCON was informed that the base’s weather radar was tracking the object near Bowbells, ND, about 38 nautical miles northwest of the base.

Suddenly, that UFO flew toward the B-52, and began pacing it at a distance of one mile. The aircraft’s own radar was already tracking the object and recorded these maneuvers. The navigator, Major Patrick McCaslin, said that the UFO’s radar return was “as big or bigger than a KC-135 [tanker].”⁵

Radar Navigator Major Chuck Ritchey quickly activated the aircraft’s radarscope camera and the object’s radar return was captured on film. Later that morning, the images were evaluated by one of the 5th Bombardment Wing’s intelligence officers, Richard Clark, who recalls that he computed the UFO’s mean velocity at 3900 mph. This estimate was based on the fact that the UFO had covered two miles during one, three-second sweep of the radar. He told Tulien, “It had to be something other than what we were aware of, you know, and I didn’t think our technology had anything like that as far as capability—so it’s got to be a UFO.”⁶

As the UFO began to pace the B-52, the aircraft’s two UHF radios were apparently impacted by its presence, and normal outgoing radio transmissions were temporarily interrupted. However, the aircraft’s UHF receiver was unaffected and the crew continued to hear instructions from the RAPCON controller. The UFO paced the aircraft for approximately 20 miles, at which point it broke-off and moved away. As soon as it did so, and disappeared from the bomber’s radar, the aircraft’s transmitters resumed normal functioning.

As the B-52 began its final approach to Minot, it was unexpectedly diverted, on the orders of an unidentified “general officer.” RAPCON provided the pilot vectors for the UFO—which was by then on, or hovering near, the ground—and told to turn the aircraft and fly directly over it.

Tulien and Klotz have interviewed the aircraft’s co-pilot, Captain Bradford Runyon, and the Instructor Pilot, Major James Partin, both of whom provided detailed accounts regarding the UFO’s appearance.

Partin noted that he first saw an orange object on or just above the ground and stated that it appeared “like a miniature sun placed on the ground below the aircraft.” As the aircraft closed on the UFO, the object’s shape became more visible. Partin said, “It was sort of oblong, there were—looked like windows around it that were lit, and it was just hovering there.”⁷

Captain Runyon later drew a picture of the UFO, showing an oval-shaped object with a tubular limb extending from one end. Beyond the other end of the tube was a crescent-shaped spray of illumination. He stated, “My first impression was that the orange [oval] portion was bigger than a large barn and the tubular section reminded me of a large grain silo lying on its side. The crescent-shaped part did not become clear until we rolled into the first 90-degree turn...I’m not good at estimating dimensions, especially 32 years after the fact, but to my best guess, I would say it was at least 200 ft in length and 100 ft in width and 50 ft. in height.”⁸

Navigator Patrick McCaslin, who did not see the object himself, added, “The description [given] to me [by one of the pilots] was that it was an elliptical shape—kind of a cough drop-shaped thing, glowing orange with a boomerang exhaust, or boomerang-shaped exhaust or whatever—a florescence off one end.”⁹

As the B-52 neared the UFO, its UHF transmitters were impacted once again. Upon landing, one of the crew was debriefed about the incident, but there was no further discussion among the crew until years later.

What was the Air Force’s official verdict on these events? On November 13, 1968, three weeks after the UFO incidents, Project Blue Book chief Major Hector Quintanilla issued an official statement about them. He wrote, “The following conclusions have been reached after a thorough study of the data submitted to Foreign Technology Division. The ground visual sightings appear to be of the star Sirius and the B-52, which was flying in the area. The B-52 radar contact and the temporary loss of the UHF transmission could be attributed to a plasma similar to ball lightning. The air visual from the B-52 could be the star Vega, which was on the horizon at the time, or it could be a light on the ground, or possibly a plasma. No further investigation by the Foreign Technology Division is contemplated.”¹⁰

This highly implausible official explanation for the UFO incidents at Minot AFB was reminiscent of Quinanilla’s earlier verdict on the August 1, 1965 UFO sightings at F.E. Warren AFB, Wyoming. In that case, several Air Force SAT teams had independently observed, over a three hour-period, as many as nine UFOs at a time maneuvering near and hovering over various Minuteman missile sites. The Blue Book chief concluded that the teams had not seen UFOs, but twinkling stars.
