How would humanity change if we knew aliens existed?
How would humanity change if we knew aliens existed?
We have yet to discover any signs of an extraterrestrial civilization — a prospect that could quite literally change overnight. Should that happen, our sense of ourselves and our place in the cosmos would forever be shaken. It could even change the course of human history. Or would it?
Last week, SETI’s Seth Shostak made the claim that we’ll detect an alien civilization by 2040. Personally, I don’t believe this will happen (for reasons I can elucidate in a future post — but the Fermi Paradox is definitely a factor, as is the problem of receiving coherent radio signals across stellar distances). But it got me wondering: What, if anything, would change in the trajectory of a civilization’s development if it had definitive proof that intelligent extraterrestrials (ETIs) were real?
Finding a World Much Like Our Own
As I thought about this, I assumed a scenario with three basic elements.
First, that humanity would make this historic discovery within the next several years or so. Second, that we wouldn’t actually make contact with the other civilization (just the receipt, say, of a radio transmission — something like a Lucy Signalthat would cue us to their existence). And third, that the ETI in question would be at roughly the same level of technological development as our own (so they’re not too much more advanced than we are; that said, if the signal came from an extreme distance, like hundreds or thousands of light-years away, these aliens would probably have advanced appreciably by now. Or they could be gone altogether, the victims of a self-inflicted disaster).
I tossed this question over to my friend and colleague Milan Cirkovic. He’s a Senior Research Associate at the Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade and a leading expert on SETI.
“Well, that’s a very practical question, isn’t it?” he responded. “Because people have been expecting something like this since 1960 when SETI was first launched — they haven’t really been expecting to find billion-year old supercivilizations or just some stupid bacteria.”
Indeed, the underlying philosophy of SETI over the course of its 50-year history has been that we’ll likely detect a civilization roughly equal to our own — for better or worse. And no doubt, in retrospect it started to look “for worse” when the hopes of an early success were dashed. Frank Drake and his colleagues thought they would find signs of ETIs fairly quickly, but that turned out not to be the case (though Drake’s echo can still be heard in the unwarranted contact optimism of Seth Shostak).
“Enormous Implications”
“Some people argued that a simple signal wouldn’t mean much for humanity,” added Cirkovic, “but I think Carl Sagan, as usual, had a good response to this.”
Specifically, Sagan said that the very understanding that we are not unique in the universe would have enormous implications for all those fields in which anthropocentrism reigns supreme.
“Which means, I guess, half of all the sciences and about 99% of the other, non-scientific discourse,” said Cirkovic.
Sagan also believed that the detection of a signal would reignite enthusiasm for space in general, both in terms of research and eventually the colonization of space.
“The latter point was quite prescient, actually, because at the time he said this there wasn’t much enthusiasm about it and it was much less visible and obvious than it is today,” he added.
No doubt — this would likely generate tremendous excitement and enthusiasm for space exploration. In addition to expanding ourselves into space, there would be added impetus to reach out and meet them.
At the same time, however, some here on Earth might counterargue that we should stay home and hide from potentially dangerous civilizations (ah, but what if everybody did this?). Ironically, some might even argue that we should significantly ramp-up our space and military technologies to meet potential alien threats.

UFO or Transient Lunar Phenomenon captured on Telescope (video)
UFO or Transient Lunar Phenomenon captured on Telescope (video)
Strange ‘lights’ have been seen on the moon. What is causing these events?
Often, this phenomenon is associated with UFOs or extraterrestrial activities on the moon. But a possible explanation for these lights is the so-called ‘Transient Lunar Phenomenon.’
A transient lunar phenomenon (TLP), or lunar transient phenomenon (LTP), is a short-lived light, color, or change in appearance on the surface of the Moon.
Claims of short-lived lunar phenomena go back at least 1,000 years, with some having been observed independently by multiple witnesses or reputable scientists. Most lunar scientists will acknowledge that transient events such as outgassing and impact cratering do occur over geologic time: the controversy lies in the frequency of such events.
Transient lunar phenomena range from foggy patches to permanent changes of the lunar landscape. classifies these as (1) gaseous, involving mists and other forms of obscuration, (2) reddish colorations, (3) green, blue or violet colorations, (4) brightenings, and (5) darkenings.
It has been suggested that effects related to either electrostatic charging or discharging might be able to account for some of the transient lunar phenomena.
Also, it is possible that many transient phenomena might not be associated with the Moon itself but could be a result of unfavourable observing conditions or phenomena associated with the earth. For instance, some reported transient phenomena are for objects near the resolution of the employed telescopes. The Earth’s atmosphere can give rise to significant temporal distortions that could be confused with actual lunar phenomena.
The video shows a possible transient lunar phenomenon.
Over the years, there have been many UFO accounts across Cape Cod. Perhaps our proximity to water and flat surfaces make us susceptible to these eyewitness reports. In March 1964, a Wareham family (father, mother and daughter) were driving home and saw a large reddish-orange triangular-shaped object flashing above them at a height of 200 to 300 feet. The object, with the appearance of a sail, zig-zagged like a boat and then disappeared over Silver Lake. After reporting their sighting to Otis Air Force Base, the family could offer no explanations, but were very firm on the fact that they saw a UFO.
In other early accounts of UFOs, people said they saw “flying saucers” in South Wellfleet (1957), ‘flashing’ ufos in Hyannis (1964) a “ball of fire” in Barnstable (1953) and a “flying ball” seen by fishermen in Truro (1953). Another account from Chatham (1952) described the unidentified flying object as a “black blob.” In that small article, the UFO was said to be “about the size of a baseball, and the blazing tail about 100 feet long.” Some scientists offered the explanation of meteor showers in the area.
Another series of unexplained phenomena was reported in Centerville in 1950 and was seen by two local residents. “The object was described as traversing the heavens from the west while ascending until it no longer could be seen in the eastern skies.” The object was shaped like a rocket and made no sound. The earliest account in the archives was a sighting in Woods Hole in 1947. A couple saw a light yellow object traveling in the sky over Woods Hole. Their impression was the thing was saucer-shaped. The pair watched it for close to an hour before it disappeared.

Perhaps most unsettling were a series of articles from 1975 detailing a mysterious couple leading their band of UFO-seekers toward New England. According to the UPI story, “a man and a woman known as “The Two” by their followers, reportedly have promised a caravan to another world, a journey by UFO and spiritual means to another dimension.” If this sounds familiar, the two people — Marshall Herff Applewhite and Bonnie Lu Truesdale Nettles — were the leaders of the Heaven’s Gate cult. In March 1997, 39 members of the group committed suicide in California in order to reach what they believed was an alien space craft following the comet Haley-Bopp.
For many years, the UFO articles came every year or so. One 1964 article reported the “latest fad … (is) night-riding little green men intent of scaring the daylight out of home-bound Cape Codders.” A quick glance at the past fifteen years on our on-line archives reveals very little in the way of UFO activity. Please feel free to send your eyewitness accounts to me at rsmithjohnson@capecodonline.com.
A Twin Lake, MI, witness reported watching multiple unknown objects moving in a “controlled manner” over a pasture that varied in “speed, direction, color, brightness and altitude,” according to February 25, 2014, testimony in Case 54280 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was lying in bed when lights were noticed “near my animal pasture and barn” about 1 a.m. on August 29, 2013. The witness has cameras on the property with inside monitors, but went outside to investigate.
“I saw multiple objects ranging in size from perhaps a basketball to a small car,” the witness stated. “The objects emitted lights that changed apparently randomly to every conceivable color in the spectrum. They appeared two to three at a time. Maneuvered in apparently random yet controlled (if that makes sense) manners.”
The objects were moving about the sky, but did not strike anything.
“They varied wildly in speed and direction, yet hit no obstructions like trees, power lines, my barn, etc. It was the strangest thing.”
The witness had video monitoring the area and was able to take photographs.
“I took many pictures and shot a lot of video and upon reviewing the video I had considerable static in the audio. I have never had this static on other occasions and could not replicate it. The objects would come and move about individually or in pairs and I saw trees and power lines on both sides, so I know what size and range they were. My animals were in the barn silently staring at each other.”
The witness could not identify the objects.
“The objects would vary speed, direction, color, brightness and altitude. I am a fairly observant individual so I noted everything I could and I had heard a helicopter an hour earlier and while I was watching this show, an aircraft passed at an altitude leaving a visible contrail. I could see its lights and knew it to be a passenger or cargo jet.”
The witness described the movement of the objects.
“When I saw these lights higher up, they appeared similar to the objects seen before by me, but were higher up. At times they would pass above the jet contrail and being dimmed by it. Other times apparently below it. Their speed was almost as amazing as everything else about them. I saw one traverse three-quarter of the sky in about two seconds, literally. Then at speed make a 90-degree turn. And yet another and it headed back to its original point of origin. I watched these for I'd guess about two hours until the last one appeared to lift vertically and then pause for a second or two and upon emitting a flash of light depart at an incredible speed.”
The witness has ruled out some possibilities.
"These were not lantern kites, balloons, reflections off swamp gas nor a comet. I'm not claiming them to be anything. I would like to know what they were. It's rather upsetting to not be able to discuss this with anyone."
The witness provided one image with the MUFON report, which was filed on February 25, 2014. See Image 1. Twin Lake is an unincorporated community in Muskegon County, MI, population 1,613. Michigan has a UFO Alert Rating of 4 with a higher than average number of UFO reports. Michigan had 23 UFO reports in January 2014 - the 8th highest reporting state - while California had 102 reports - the highest reporting state in the nation.
You can read more details about other recently reported cases at the UFO Examiner home page.
The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or man-made. If Michigan MUFON investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

In a colossal science fantasy story by Herbert Wells, First Contact is made with an alien species. Our first sight of them is not a happy one: they look nothing like us!
A lock unscrews on the cylindrical projectile which has been shot from the planet Mars only to alight in Surrey, England. What clambers out has a sideways beak and is octopus like. The narrator’s reaction is one of horrified disgust – and this is before they have declared their hostile intent!
The War of the Worlds was first serialised in the last three years of the nineteenth century. Fast forward past another century and there are now those who say they have glimpsed real life creatures from beyond our earth.
Within the abduction/contactee end of the study of UFOs there are is a whole carnival of space aliens. The vast majority of these are not as Wells had feared. They are humanoid in design. At worse, they may have three fingered hands, but not tentacles.
Those who take a mythopoeic approach to this phenomenon can point out that all these beings partake of what the poet Philip Larkin once called `the common myth kitty`. That is to say, they are archetypes.
So we have Angels. These are the ones who look most like us, but are more beautiful. They have come to save us from ourselves. Then we have the Little Folk, who are like diminutive humans who act in mischievous or just incomprehensible ways. Then the Demons: these are also small, but they stick things into our private parts as demons have always done. There can even be found some mention of Man-beasts who double up as UFO occupants (see my piece `Solid Sasquatch and the Goblin universe` on this site).
As folklore adjusts to the times, we can now supplement the roll call with spacemen (in their close fitting `diving suits` with logos on, etc), robots and insectoid humans.
Much television science fantasy also trades in human-like space aliens. People need to be able to relate to the participants in any drama, even if they happen to be extraterrestrial; besides it is a whole lot easier to slap a bit of make up on an actor than it is to construct a convincing original looking alien.
For the scientific community, however, the question remains open. How disconcerting to us would the appearance of an alien be?
According to a popular thesis called Convergent Evolution, ecologies which are earth-like would be liable to bring forth creatures which have adapted to look more or less like us. Our stereoscopic sight, for example, gives us an evolutionary advantage, and would for them too. So our seas house both barracudas, which are fish, and dolphins which belong to the mammal family. They look alike, however. (See Professor Simon Conway Morris in the Telegraph online, Jan 25th 2010.)
This position does have some critics though. One of them is the Senior Astronomer of the SETI Institute, Seth Shostak. He reasons that any aliens that we meet would have to be way in advance of us in technological terms (otherwise, how would we ever get to know them?) Such a species would most likely have advanced beyond their own biology and become cyborgs or even overtaken by their own artificial intelligences. They would look nothing like us, then (see www.space.com/6978-aliens.html.)
Notwithstanding this, contemporary abduction and contact claims, popular science fantasy and many astrobiologists all concur that E.T would not upset the human eye too much.
What, then, are we to make of those rare cases of encounters with creatures which are quite unlike us?
Bug Eyed Monsters.
Next to the enigma of Betty and Barney Hill, the most celebrated early abduction case must be the one that centres on Pascagoula city in Jackson County, Mississippi, U.S.A. Unlike the Hill case, which seemed to set the template for later alleged abductions, this case is almost unique. It features wholly non-humanlike beings.
The details of the case are well documented. What interests here is the nature of what took Charles Higson and his younger friend Calvin Parker in 1973. These `ufonauts` – if they were that –had legs with round feet – which they did not use, bullet shaped heads, carrot shaped protrusions on the sides of their heads where one might expect ears and – for the accounts changed – either a slit or a hole for the mouth. Their hands were akin to the claws of a lobster (see, for example, www.open-minds.tv.)
These kinds of exotic liaisons are not without precedent either.
A decade earlier in the wooded shipway district in Saltwood, Kent on the south east coast of Britain four boys – among them John Flexton (17) and Martin Hutchinson (18) ran to the police with an unbelievable tale.
That evening, on November16th 1963, they observed an ovoid object descend without sound into the woods. They insisted that what then came out of the woods was bat-like but with no head. About the size of a human, it had webbed feet. (Bowen, p-22.)
Again if we trawl back another eleven years to 1952 we discover that there arose a similar case in Flatwoods, in Braxton County, West Virginia USA. After seeing a `meteorite` land in a nearby forest Kathleen May and four boys went to see what they could find. What came down through the forest to meet them was much bigger than any human. It had a spade shaped head which was bright red, and glowing green eyes. It appeared to be dressed in some sort of garment and had no legs. Later a woman and her mother said they had seen the same apparition, as did another couple found by the investigator John Keel (Bord, p-99-101, also ufocasebook.com/flatwoods.html.)
There are some just as outlandish figures belonging to more recent abduction accounts. The `praying mantis` type aliens have now become common enough to have been welcomed into the alien zoo, in North America at least.
Preston Dennet relates the case of Paul Nelson who was a party to visitations from 1967 onwards. It might be significant that he had been exposed to UFO literature and that when he undertook regressive hypnosis his expectation was that the aliens would be the classic Greys. Instead, what he recalled were more in the nature of Praying Mantis types (Dennet, p-94-95.)
The forgoing exhibits all occurred in connection with the presence of anomalous ariel phenomena (although is notable that in two of the scenarios the entities were not seen getting out of the craft – if craft they were.) What about non-human entities which appear without the need for transport?
Nameless things.
One delicious offering from the casebook comes from the improbable surrounds of Westminster in the West End of London. Here you can find an antique book shop on 50 Berkeley Square. This property has its own antique legend. Some call it the `Nameless thing`. The story is singular in that it incorporates the death of one of the witnesses!
They say that the second – or is it the fourth? –floor of this building is the haunt of something gruesome and not at all human.
One person who decided to investigate was sir Robert Warboys. In the 1840’s he spent the night there – and paid for it with his life!
Much later, in 1943, two sailors squatted in the property for a night. The Nameless thing attacked one of them too. There are few clear descriptions of what this `thing` looked like, except it was a slithering creature with Lovecraftian overtones.
Seeing the case as demonic in nature, the haunted house habitué Harry Price made his own scrutiny of the property. His report linked the `haunting` to historical events which had occurred there much earlier. This did nothing to account for the monstrous aspect of the spirit. (See, for example, www.americanmonsters.com.)
Part II in this series concludes tomorrow: Saturday, March 1, 2014!
Spielberg tells Larry King he supports govt disclosure on UFOs
Spielberg tells Larry King he supports gov’t disclosure on UFOs
Documentary director, James Fox, finally revealed the contents of a letter from Steven Spielberg to Larry King regarding his UFOdocumentary, I Know What I Saw, at this year’s UFO Congress. In 2009 Fox had appeared on Larry King Live to talk about UFOs and his documentary, which was about to appear on the History Channel. A few days after the show, King told Fox that he had sent a copy of the documentary to Steven Spielberg. King then received a letter from Spielberg in response, and sent Fox a copy. Excited about the endorsement from Spielberg, Fox contacted Spielberg’s publicist to confirm it was OK for Fox to share Spielberg’s remarks to help promote the upcoming airing of his documentary. Unfortunately, Spielberg’s publicist, Marvin Levy, denied the request.
At the time, Fox had let some of us in the UFOcommunity know he had received an endorsement, but respecting Levy’s wishes, he did not reveal the exact content. Fox said now that a few years has passed, he left a message for Levy, informing him that he intended to read the letter at the UFO Congress this year. He had not heard back from Levy, so he assumed that meant it was OK, and he read the letter to an exc
ited IUFOC crowd. Transcribed from Fox’s reading, the letter said:
Dear Larry,
With great curiosity, I watched the documentary you sent over and found it compelling. Personally, I would like to think we are not alone, and even though I have devoted a generous percentage of my movies to extraterrestrial related themes, I for one have never seen a UFO. That is so unfair! (sic)
I hope you will continue to pursue this topic on your program, and that some day our government will offer a total disclosure about what they know about unidentified flying objects and their true and natural origins.
I continue to enjoy watching you and all your guests.
All my best,
Signed: Steven
Fox was disappointed Spielberg did not endorse his film openly. He said:
Here is a guy who knows there is a cover up, who is one of the most influential people in the entertainment industry… He even put in Dr. J. Allen Hynek in Close Encounters for those in the know, realizing that this is a little way of saying that this is based on reality. And yet he wasn’t willing to put in a little effort for an independent guy like me, to help my movie succeed.
Some have argued that intelligent alien beings might be carnivorous–and want to eat us if they came to Earth. Do you worry about that?Noooo. Suppose they are carnivorous. Does that mean they eat us?
Have you ever had a “close encounter?” No, I have not. I cannot believe that we have been secretly visited by another life form that didn’t leave more of a record of its having been here. If they came, why leave? It had to be an enormous journey.
Do you believe in “intelligent design?” No. Let me clarify that answer. Because intelligent design is exactly what we see. But does that come from some being? I think life itself is intelligent. I don’t think necessarily that a creator had to be involved.
Was there a particular purpose in including “intelligent design” in the episode? You can’t go on any show and say, “I can say what I believe but I can’t say what is.” I don’t know what is. We want to present both sides of any–because it is all predicated on faith. It is what you believe. And on this show we want to accept all ideas and be inclusive.

UFO breaches of security at SAC bases
UFO breaches of security at SAC bases
UFO breaches of security at SAC bases
Jerry Johnson, former Air ForceSecurity Officer, recounted a very interesting UFOincident while serving his country in 1968 at Whiteman Air Force Base. His story draws a distinct parallel to events that occurred some years later at Rendlesham Forest in Bentwaters Air Base, Great Britain in 980. I interviewed Jerry for my local newspaper in Plano, Texas. In doing so I had indirect ties with the incident that occurred at Bentwaters. Some may find these details disturbing. The events are as follows. Why, because it involved a UFO incursion into a USAF SAC base that predated the Strategic Air Command Bentwaters base incident.
The emergence of a phenomena
It seems that recent history has been inundated at times with the incredible presence of UFO visitations not only in the skies over our towns and country sides, but even over our most sensitive military installations. What appeared at first to be simply benign and curious appearances viewed by regular citizens soon evolved into confrontations with trained observers such as police, civilian aviators, and jet interceptor pilots of the armed services.
Veteran Richard Hall documented UFO landings
MUFON researcher, Richard Hall, gave a presentation in one documentary stating that he had records identifying some 300 landing zones from across the entire continental US where UFOs had left forensic or circumstantial evidence of their presence. This information was made available on film by the late 1970’s. Hall, as a former member of NICAP had made a previous documentary of important sightings to date in 1964.
The old cattle round ups
In 1968 Jerry Johnson viewed his assignment at Knobnoster, Missouri with a somewhat sentimental opinion. Whiteman Air Force Base stood on a former cattle trail that cowboys had herded thousands of steers to market in order feed the American public. He could easily visualize the old west and the cow punchers mounted on their horses along the dusty cattle trails roping and branding steers as they formed long lines across the sun beaten prairie.
Security Breach
However, one afternoon he was suddenly shaken from the doldrums of his day dreams by an alert generated by a security breach within the strategic air command base that it was his responsibility to secure.
Whiteman AFB was home to the Minuteman ICBM, the United States deterrent to a Soviet first strike nuclear capability. Here, hundreds of deadly cold war era missiles were housed in underground silos awaiting their launch codes in the event of a war. Jerry was ordered along with his fast strike team to respond to a certain sector within the interior of the airbase to the site of an incursion that had just taken place. It was unusual that he was ordered to bring loaded carbines as he and his detachment of fellow security officers quickly loaded onto their Dodge Power Wagons and headed for the site of the security breach. Jerry served as a Base Security Sergeant.
Upon arrival, they learned that they had just missed the appearance of a UFO that had stunned and terrorized several children on their way back to their living quarters after school. They were the family members of prominent high ranking officers at a base that was the size of a city with many facilities, amenities, and conveniences of a typical US town, even a bowling alley among other things. The ages of the children ranged all the way up to teenagers.
Caught by Surprise
The Strike Team immediately cordoned off the area and set up a perimeter to surround the purported landing zone in order to protect any evidence that needed to be collected. Jerry ordered his men to follow procedure while the children were being individually interrogated. For an unidentified object to land in the middle of a highly classified air base that housed nuclear missiles was considered a serious violation of security.
Jerry noticed the rapid appearance of “Brass” or high ranking officers as news of the alert spread. He noted confusion and a lack of text book procedure for such an unplanned contingency. Jerry and his team had been trained for counter-insurgence, but this incident proved to be even more bizarre. Another strike team had also been summoned and were interviewing some other witnesses. It became a compartmentalized effort.
The sighting described
According to accounts, a gleaming object had been observed descending from the sky. It hovered along the ground, scouring the brush and grass beneath it to bare soil.It moved beneath a huge tree and was seen to once again rise into the air, but struck the branches of the tree some thirty feet up. The strange machine then lowered and moved from underneath the tree. It then accelerated straight upwards at a fantastic speed and was out of sight in seconds.
Sergeant Jerry Johnson observed fresh damage to the limbs of the tree at an impossible thirty or more feet in height. The damage to the tree indicated the width of the “Bogey” to be about 30 feet in width as well. An unlikely feat to fake what appeared to be the mechanical hacking of a metallic object against the bark of the broken branches. A hoax seemed almost impossible.
What upset the gathering of highly ranked officers the most was: how did an Unidentified Flying Object penetrate Whiteman air space without being detected by radar? The implications were ominous. Did UFOs possess a stealth capability?
One Sleepless Night
Jerry’s unit was ordered to maintain the perimeter and prepare for an overnight vigil. This left the military police there nervous and unwilling to meet whatever had left the evidence of its visitation behind earlier. Even though the men had been issued hot coffee that night, Jerry admitted that they had had no problem remaining awake and alert, hoping that the UFO would not return. Johnson reported that his men were uncharacteristically silent and tense during their unusual nocturnal mission.
Up to that point Jerry Johnson had never had any interest in UFOs nor had he ever inquired about them, but after filing his official report, was miffed at the subtle air of suppression that existed around the incident. Whenever he asked about the results of the investigation and what had come of his report, he was stonewalled. Weeks passed and Jerry’s filed report along with his requests for it’s disposition were never addressed. Not even Project Blue Book personnel showed up to take down any witness accounts or ask questions. The incident was to be forgotten.
A story that finally gets told
Jerry would not speak about the UFO sighting at Whiteman AFB for years to come until he was directed to my attention around 1994 while I was writing my column entitled “Unexplained Mysteries” for the Plano Star Courier.
After having a pleasant lunch together, I began an initial audio interview and later invited Jerry to the Plano Telecable studios where we videotaped another interview with him giving testimony of the incident for a proposed documentary film I’d been working on. I wrote an article about his experience for the Plano Star Courier days later.
Jerry and I attempted to run details down concerning his connection with the UFO sighting at Whitman AFB by contacting the base by phone. He left word with an airman in archives who would later research through old air base records along with the magazine that was distributed among the families there to see if any mention of the sighting had been made. Days later we were informed that no details of the incident had been recorded. That was to be expected. In depth corroborating evidence would have to have been dug up such as whether security alerts had been in place at the time and had been logged in base operations documents and such, but that required more time and expense than either Jerry or I were capable of at that juncture.
Sadly, even though Jerry Johnson gave a well spoken account of his adventure into the unknown, the documentary never got off the ground. Many hours of recorded Super Eight had been expended to no avail.
They were taking it seriously!
A strange note in all this. As Jerry and I waited on hold with a speaker telephone with Whiteman Air Base, and cracked a joke, the voice of a security officer suddenly broke in to ask us what we were both talking about. It surprised both of us that they had been listening to our conversation unknown to us. Apparently they had not taken the inquiry into a UFOincident within the air base lightly. I would later receive several strange phone calls in the weeks to come with no explanation. It was hard for me not to consider that the two circumstances were not related without getting too paranoid over it. I tried the best I could to dismiss the whole thing and reluctantly let the investigation go. I had family and business to attend to as well.
It takes many resources, time, and money to dig for clues and evidence to a phenomenon that many would prefer just did not exist, especially the US military.

Giant Mystery UFO Captured Near Jupiter! From SecureTeam10 “Today we take a look at recent amateur footage, of what appears to be a large blue colored object, making it’s way toward Jupiter. Stay tuned and be sure to subscribe for more updates!”
Zetatalk had been stating for almost two years that our president would announce the presence of Planet X, the likelihood of Poleshift, and the existence of Extraterrestrials. I know from speaking of it, that most people say they would eat their hats if any such announcement in whole or part were to be made ever. Logically though, I felt inclined to believe the announcement would have to occur because if all of a sudden PX appears in the skies and no government had mentioned it, then all credibility would be lost. Many believe that no government has credibility now, so they think the announcement will never happen.
Realistically, if the government announces any one of the three parts: PX, PS or ETs, it will take only the blink of an eye for people to Google that and find http://www.zetatalk.com with the complete story. Zetatalk is at least 40,000 pages, freely accessible, of questions asked by the public since 1995 to Nancy Lieder, who then asks the 100% human Zetas and sets down their answers. The Zetas have many times described the attempts by our president to make such an announcement, only to be blocked by wealthy and powerful political forces who wish to keep the secret as, to them, most people are expendable anyway. It used to be that the number one question was 'what is the date of poleshift' but the best the Zetas would do was give an event calendar, not a date calendar. Then the question became when would the announcement of poleshift occur.
Various theories have evolved, which include the government never disclosing ETs because they contacted selfish ETs and engaged in reprehensible activities which can never be disclosed until all the men involved had long passed away.
Another theory is that Planet X would not be disclosed because it was top secret, so to disclose ETs and PX would require a statement such as ' after much effort we overcame the secrecy going back to Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower over the existence of ETs here and now, continuously for tens of thousands of years. As to the secrecy of PX, it would involve overcoming the secrecy since the IRAS satellite spotted PX incoming in December 1983, during the Reagan administration, from the direction of Orion. PX was announced then and retracted the next day for the obvious reason that the very next question would be 'what does that mean for earth' and the government did not then wish to announce poleshift.
Briefly, poleshift involves the granite continents, floating on magma, being grabbed by the magnetic field of PX and slid until the eastern tip of Brazil is over the existing north magnetic pole of the core of the earth.
So then the theories of the announcement[s] evolved into how could the government announce such, and still expect people not to read Zetatalk, where, in a short space of time the entire story would be known worldwide. One suggestion is that PX would merely be announced as a 'rogue planet' and 'there is nothing to worry about, so stay in your jobs, and keep living where you are, because if we learn anything important in our monitoring we will let you know, so trust us.'
Another theory is that the government would announce ETs by finding some archeological site and announcing that, here, for all to see, is evidence they 'were' here. Thus there is no reason to think that unselfish ETs have given Nancy to share with the world about what is happening now and in the near future. As for poleshift, it might be possible that the government would announce a few ocean sloshings, some minor quakes, and possible communications interruptions; you know, nothing to worry about, no reason to take your family and head for the hills today!
Now Courtney Brown is a CIA connected remote viewer who is a tenured professor at Emory University, but who has a team of remote viewers who engage in secret CIA projects. Occasionally his team focuses on pet 'public' projects which are very interesting but not verifiable. He has a remote viewing website for those interested, and now, two facebook pages.
All of a sudden on January 29th of this year, Courtney announced that 'an announcement will be made in February which will change the world forever.'
Certainly Courtney is an interesting radio guest, and an interesting writer, entertaining even; but in no case can I find anything he ever said which was accurate. But for some reason because it was going viral on the web, Nancy did accept the question and the Zetas did address it and the issue was discussed in Zetatalk Newsletter 385. Nancy stated that she was told by the Zetas in December that the announcement would be made in 'midwinter' which she implied would be made jointly by the leaders of the US, Russia, and China. She also was told by the Zetas that the announcement would be made in February.
I thought that the announcement would not be made during the Olympics which ended February 23rd, and as Nancy had said, would be more likely to be made on a Friday after all the markets closed in North America and Europe, so as not to simultaneously collapse the economy. So if the announcement were to be made in February, then Friday February 28th would appear to logically be the most likely. But Nancy never gave a date in February….
So as the month went along, we wondered and wondered what is the announcement, who will make it, and how will people react.
Then Courtney Brown muddied the waters by announcing that 'because critical supplies have been delayed in being placed in an unstable location, the announcement would be delayed until mid March. Then Courtney started making confusing 'implication' statements where he refused to discuss the announcement content but hoped people would start discussing 'it'.
Well if you are not going to tell us what 'it' is, Courtney, how can we discuss 'it'? What are 'critical supplies' and what is, and where is, 'an unstable area'?
Courtney proceeded to make implication statements which state what the announcement is not. As for what it is, he has only offered that it is 'information' which by definition is an announcement anyway.
So this matter, simple as it was, has developed into a mess with Courtney making a fool of himself, and Nancy wishing she had not commented on Courtney in the first place.
The most important things to remember here are that the governments have to make the announcement, in my estimation, if for no reason other than to explain the earth wobble causing extreme weather. Governments are not likely to announce anything until they have to do so. Many are convinced that any announcement will also point to Zetatalk which has been accurately describing all these subjects for 19 years, for free, without any confusion.
So, in summary, we still do not know exactly when an announcement will be made, or what it will contain; but we do know that if it contains PX, or PS or ETs, then people will find the other two parts as set forth in ZT.
As a personal analogy, imagine your mother tells you that your father wants to speak to you and what he will say will change your world forever. That would be unsettling and so we, the world, are left with an unsettling feeling, as we should be.
In the meantime, read Zetatalk, and go to their safe areas list and plan to move to a safe area with your loved ones. THAT is all you can do as everyone I meet has a feeling something is about to happen and no two people agree on what it is.
So here is the actual material published by Courtney Brown and Nancy Lieder, and review it yourself.
You should know that predictions are very difficult because of freewill of humans and extraterrestrials and thus things can and do change although the events themselves, as big as they are, will not change. But dates do change. With thousands of accurate predictions, no one can approach the veracity of Zetatalk even if the announcement is still vague. But Courtney has no record of even one correct prediction as far as I know, and therefore, I believe we can safely disregard his statements. If the CIA told him what to say or not say, this would not be the first time the CIA has tried to ridicule Nancy Lieder. The Zetas have said there will be an announcement of PX, PS, and ETs and this I believe in my heart. When is another matter…
So as you read the material below, notice how complete, detailed and thorough Nancy Lieder's information is; and how ridiculous and confusing the Courtney Brown material is by comparison.
UFO sighting recorded over motocross racing over Bauru, Brazil on 24th February 2014
UFO sighting recorded over motocross racing over Bauru, Brazil on 24th February 2014
New interesting video footage of a strange UFO recorded while recording a motocross racing over Bauru, Brazil on 24th February 2014.
Witness said: During filming in motocross racing in February 2014 in the city of Bauru SP, with a GoPro HERO 2 camera placed on the ground, we were surprised by an unidentified object in very strange situation of flight “without any parameters known for conventional aircraft” in the sky in the same way that instant entered sena he left, very strange …
The latest release of Edward Snowden’s leaked NSA documents includes a PowerPoint from a British communications department regarding online covert operations and deception. A few of the slides inexplicably include pictures of UFOs.
The Intercept article which includes the release of the documents describes their significance:
Over the last several weeks, I worked with NBC News to publish a series of articles about “dirty trick” tactics used by GCHQ’s previously secret unit, JTRIG (Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group). These were based on fourclassifiedGCHQdocuments presented to the NSA and the other three partners in the English-speaking “Five Eyes” alliance. Today, we at the Intercept are publishing another new JTRIG document, in full, entitled “The Art of Deception: Training for Online Covert Operations.”
By publishing these stories one by one, our NBC reporting highlighted some of the key, discrete revelations: the monitoring of YouTube and Blogger, the targeting of Anonymous with the very same DDoS attacks they accuse “hacktivists” of using, the use of “honey traps” (luring people into compromising situations using sex) and destructive viruses. But, here, I want to focus and elaborate on the overarching point revealed by all of these documents: namely, that these agencies are attempting to control, infiltrate, manipulate, and warp online discourse, and in doing so, are compromising the integrity of the internet itself.
Among the core self-identified purposes of JTRIG are two tactics: (1) to inject all sorts of false material onto the internet in order to destroy the reputation of its targets; and (2) to use social sciences and other techniques to manipulate online discourse and activism to generate outcomes it considers desirable. To see how extremist these programs are, just consider the tactics they boast of using to achieve those ends: “false flag operations” (posting material to the internet and falsely attributing it to someone else), fake victim blog posts (pretending to be a victim of the individual whose reputation they want to destroy), and posting “negative information” on various forums.
The UFO pics are found on slides 35 – 37, in a section called “Influence and Information Operations.” It is difficult to decipher why they are there, except perhaps to discuss online memes, or misidentifications. The Daily Grail speculates that the images may be there for reasons “from pointing out people’s belief systems, through to them possibly being part of actual psychological operations (psy-ops).”
The pictures include a UFO photograph from Redbud, Illinois taken in 1950, a screenshot of a UFO video captured by Arturo Robles Gil in Mexico, and a picture of an alleged UFO that is suspected to simply be a bird and its droppings.
Perhaps now that the document is online someone will come forward with an idea as to why the UFO pictures are included in the presentation. We’ll update you when we learn more.
Witness said: After today’s UFO Event at MacArthur Park, I came home and started to summon. A beautiful colorful / shiny morphing ORB arrived and gave a great display of shifting and colors. Thanks and enjoy this capture.
UFO video recorded by an Airline pilot over Pisca, Peru on 26th February 2014
UFO video recorded by an Airline pilot over Pisca, Peru on 26th February 2014
New amazing UFO sighting video footage recorded by an Airline pilot while flying over Pisca, Peru on 26th February 2014.
Witness said: While flying over Pisco, Peru, we noticed 3 very bright large objects. They were not moving much. They passed by us at a distance of 20-30 miles at approximately 20,000 feet. We were at 31,000 feet. There were 4 crew members on our B767-300ER. All noticed it. There also was a Mexicana Airliner overhead that noticed the objects as well.
They were to large to be ships. They were over the ocean and very bright. We called the local air traffic controllers in Lima and they did not see them on radar.
New amazing video footage of multiple bright UFO lights recorded in the night sky above Jacksonville, Florida in February 2014.
Witness said: JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Reports of moving lights in the sky are being recorded throughout the First Coast. What could it be? Darren Goffin likes to star gaze but for the past few months, he says he’s seeing more than just stars.
“Well the first sighting it was a lot of movement and just sparkles around,” said Goffin. Goffin decided to record the unidentified flying object. His video shows two bright objects; one is flashing and then it just stops, while the other very bright object continues to move. ”I haven’t really told too many people, (is there a reason) thinking I’m crazy you know,” says Goffin. “Everybody got their own beliefs and if you say ‘oh I’ve seen a UFO’ they’ll laugh at you and make fun of you, thinking that you’re hallucinating or something.”
According to the National UFO Reporting Center, 23 sightings have been reported on the First Coast in the last six months, 12 of those sightings were in Jacksonville.
PictureAnnouncingthe MUFON-based TV series on The History Channel's H2 network entitled "HANGAR 1: THE UFO FILES" premiering on February 28, 2014 at 10:00 pm EST/7:00 pm PST.
The series features interviews with Jan Harzan, John Ventre and Jeremy Ray of MUFON and Jason McClellan of "Open Minds" radio along with other experts including Richard Dolan, Grant Cameron, Leslie Kean, and Michael Schratt. In cinematic history, 60 years ago was the release of the movie "War of the Worlds." This is actually a significant movie since the Brookings Institute and our government based its policy regarding UFOs on the panic that followed the original Orson Wells Panic Broadcast on radio in 1938. The policies regarding the implications of extraterrestrial contact are that we cannot tell the public the truth regarding ETs out of fear of riots and a breakdown of the religious and scientific communities. Our guess is that it has more to do with the control of technology.
Twenty years ago, we had another cinematic anniversary with the premiere of the TV show, the "X-Files." This show featured two FBI agents investigating bizarre events with an underlying conspiracy as one agent was a believer and the other a semi skeptic. The X-Files also influenced a generation of baby boomers as did "Star Trek" almost 30 years prior to the "X-Files." In the UFO genre, it appears that a classic show comes around every 20-30 years.
We now have the MUFON-based TV series on The History Channel's H2 network entitled "HANGAR 1: THE UFO FILES" premiering on February 28, 2014.
The premise of each episode is to examine a number of MUFON cases, looking for patterns that tie in to historic UFO events. Actual footage and recreations will be used along with expert testimony. The "HANGAR 1" title comes from the actual Hangar 1 where the vast archive of 75,000 MUFON case files and evidence are stored. The show will showcase MUFON's mission to educate the public about the UFO phenomenon.
Stay tuned because the "truth is out there" or shall we say, it's actually in "HANGAR 1."
On February 25, 1999 three forestry workers in the Mt. St. Helens area of Washington State witnessed a daytime elk abduction. The preliminary report appeared in the MUFON UFO Journal of May 1999. The follow-up investigation reveals additional details and corrects inaccuracies. For purposes of confidentiality, all witness names are pseudonyms.
The preliminary investigation:
On a cold March afternoon with fresh snow up to their boot tops and a rolling valley before them, Peter Davenport (Director, National UFO Reporting Center) and Robert Fairfax (MUFON investigator) stood contemplating the account of an extraordinary event. Also at the edge of the bank stood Jack (landowner’s representative) recounting details-albeit secondhand – of”the incident witnessed by members of a crew of Hispanic forestry workers: a daytime elk abduction.
As it turned out, Jack did not have all the particulars of the elk abduction correct, but we were not to find that out until much later. The 14 forestry workers could not plant seedling trees the Friday we arrived on site because ten inches of snow had fallen the previous night; therefore the crew had been given the day off. Hastily, an interview was arranged, through their employer, with three of the witnesses that same afternoon.
However, circumstances were not conducive to obtaining an accurate and detailed report. The meeting took place in a deserted parking lot of a wayside cafe. The cacophony of rushing traffic saturated the background, creating additional handicaps, since none of the three witnesses spoke more than a smidgen of English. Add to this picture a chill to the air, a limited time before sunset, and the requirement of telling the story through their boss, Emanuel, as interpreter to get an idea of the situation.
So here we were, seven of us, standing around the tailgate of a pickup truck for an extemporaneous investigation. Conducting separate interviews was not a viable option. Even though group interviewing conflicts with traditional investigative practice, we perceived little choice in the matter-we needed to take advantage of this opportunity. Fully aware of the pitfalls this method of investigation presented, we made sure we scrutinized the group dynamics. As far as we could tell, each held to a personal version without acquiescing to group decision or falling under another’s influence. We were aware the participants had discussed the events among themselves extensively.
Emanuel’s efforts at translating were laudable, but he was neither a trained investigator nor interpreter. He had not been present during the abduction, and the event floated somewhere outside his compass of understanding. This presented a challenge, since we were unable to understand for ourselves what the witnesses were saying. Compounding these difficulties, Emanuel seemed reserved in his translations. We knew he believed something strange had happened to his workers; however, we also suspected he was not ready to believe anything as exotic as an alien craft snatching up an elk.
The testimony waxed expansive and waned timid by turns-torn between the need to tell their story and the anxiety of raised eyebrows at the outrageousness of the tale they told.
We struggled with the narrative for 35 minutes. There were innumerable questions yet to ask, but the hour grew late and signals via body language suggested we close the interview and bid farewell. Though crippled by the language barrier, our initial interview provided a tentative and skeletal picture of the event. We wanted to schedule individual interviews for the upcoming week, but were told that the witnesses would be too busy planting trees for the next few weeks-an apparent conspiracy of wet weather and time of year.
Our wait was to last 57 days. Weighing on our minds during this time-out was the knowledge that the ponderous passage of time truncates a witness’ sharp recollection of details-the blur factor. In the meantime we searched for another translator. Finding no suitable candidate in Washington, our eyes turned south to California where we knew an ideal interpreter resided. Ruben Uriarte, MUFON’s State Director for Northern California, was the answer to our problem: he not only speaks fluent Spanish, but also excels in investigation. Could we recruit him and persuade him to fly to Washington and give us a hand? The answer was an enthusiastic “yes.”
The follow-up investigation:
Ruben began immediately by phoning Emanuel and coaxing the witnesses’ phone numbers out of proprietary insularity. Then, over the next few days he arranged a meeting with several of the witnesses at one of the worker’s home.
Prior to Ruben’s involvement in the case, another Washington MUFON investigator, Kathleen Andersen, joined the team. Kathleen began by cross checking other UFO events in the Mt. St. Helens area, seeking correlation and commonalities. She found cases, but no matches.
An early gray Seattle morning on the first Saturday of May found Kathleen packing her Jeep with food, with equipment, and with two investigators—Ruben and Robert. We headed south. When we arrived at the designated house, the scene was a bit awkward at first, due to a small crowd that included friends and relatives milling about. The witnesses were not quite sure if they wanted to be interviewed.
Fortunately, Ruben has the gift of setting people at ease, and within a short time the witnesses began talking. We were able to interview the witnesses both individually and together as a group. Later that afternoon, seven of us jumped into two vehicles and drove to the remote site in the foothills where the abduction had taken place. After 9 1/2 hours of investigation, we discovered that the preliminary report (as reported in MUFON UFO JOURNAL of March, 1999) needed amendment.

The incident:
Shortly before noon on the last Thursday of February, 1999, fourteen forestry workers had just broken for lunch and were heading for the crew vehicle. Francisco and Augustine were nearly at the turnout (1900 ft. elevation), Manuel and two others were walking up the slope (about 1600 ft. elevation) from an old overgrown access road, while the rest of the crew was scattered, most midway between the two groups on the north-facing hillside. Francisco stopped to rest momentarily and watched the 14 elk of a herd that had been browsing all morning on a nearby slope northeast of them.
Then, out of the northeast, he spotted a strange moving object. The UFO, presumably, had already dropped some 70 feet down the height of the Douglas Fir trees bordering the dirt road and was now drifting over a hilltop. Skimming the clear-cut at brush top level and hugging the contour of the hill, the UFO appeared to be heading slowly toward the herd of elk. The object’s initial location was approximately 800 yards distant and 200 ft. lower in elevation than Francisco’s location.
At first Francisco mistook it for a bi-colored paraglider silently drifting in for a landing. The object had a strange, slow wobble. It showed red on the right half, white on the left. Francisco quickly realized that he was not seeing any type of parachute.
The object advanced toward the elk herd, staying close to the ground as if in a “stealth mode.” When the elk became aware of the object, they bolted. Most tried running up the slope to the east, but the going was slow. A lone elk separated from the herd and headed north. The craft targeted the loner and moved in. Surprised and astounded, Francisco shouted to Augustine, “Look at that! Look at that!”
The clear-cut terrain prevented rapid movement for the animals: innumerable small deciduous trees had trunks cut about 18″ above the ground, transforming them into sharp stakes pointing skyward. The trunks, bristling with branches, lay helter-skelter, presenting criss-crossing barricades. The lone animal could not run fast. The wobbling craft, moving no faster than between 5 and 7 mph (est.), easily overtook it.
Augustine had missed the pursuit but caught sight of the UFO as it took the elk. Down-slope, Manuel (crew supervisor) also witnessed the capture-500 yards distant. Nearly every other person’s attention had been diverted toward the main group of fleeing animals. The craft moved directly above the female elk and somehow lifted it into the air without any visible means of support evident to the observers.
At this point, the animal ceased discernible movement-no kicking legs, no struggling body, and no indication of consciousness. The witnesses were amazed that the craft could lift the 500-pound animal. The “wing span” of the object measured not much longer than the length of the elk-about 7 to 8 feet. (The increase in size attributed to the craft in the earlier report seems to have been an illusion caused by a change in the craft’s angle of tilt over the terrain at the point of capture.)
The captured elk, its head apparently against the ventral surface of the craft, and body standing stiffly upright, was lifted off the ground-just enough to clear the underbrush. The craft continued its slow, wobbling oscillation. The suspended elk moved likewise as if she were a solid metal sculpture welded to the craft. After the craft acquired (without pause) the animal, it moved away at the same slow pace, to the north, following the contour of the land. The elk’s feet were observed sweeping circles, in conjunction with the craft’s movement, just above the brush and tree tops.
Within a short time the craft approached the forest edge that defined the end of the clear-cut area. Apparently the craft did not stop or maneuver in time to avoid hitting some of the lower branches. Because of the considerable distance of the craft, the witnesses could not discern exactly what had hit the trees-whether the craft, the elk, or something else is unknown.
After hitting the branches, the witnesses saw it dip sharply and reverse direction before ascending vertically in front of the tree line. All three had the impression that the object had almost dropped the animal. Once above the tree top level, it moved over the forest margin and continued northward, dipped out of sight momentarily (perhaps still following the contour line of tree tops), then ascended at roughly a 45-degree angle into the distance until it was obscured by clouds.
Meanwhile, the rest of the herd had gathered into a tight huddle near the tree line, a normal behavior when a predatory threat is perceived. This herd consisted of cows and yearlings. The bulls at this time of year stay in bachelor groups at a higher elevation. The huddle lasted for two hours.
Reactions and Emotions:
The witnesses shared their story among themselves at lunch. Several of the workers that had not sighted the craft expressed doubt that anything extraordinary had happened. Nevertheless, the reactions of both the elk and the excited co-workers evoked fear, generating a tense emotional atmosphere. The humans, analogous to the elk’s behavior, consciously stayed in close proximity for the rest of the afternoon. Even those that doubted the story knew something had happened and were not comfortable working far from the rest.
Some, perhaps because of limited beliefs imposed by philosophical predisposition, clung to a tightly fenced world – trying to force all that they had heard into some familiar pattern, consistent with their reality. These were the fellows that had directed jokes and gibes at Francisco in particular. These skeptics continued planting seedling trees throughout the afternoon in a normal manner. This was in sharp contrast to those workers who feared a return of the object-they planted with heads continually swiveling skyward.
Craft Details:
Curiously, the witnesses were unable to agree on all the structural details of the craft. No one person had a complete description. Generally, all agreed on the length of the “wing span” (7-8 ft.) because they could compare it to the elk suspended beneath. Augustine perceived the relative depth to length, which measured out to 14 -18 inches. Manuel had the clearest perception of the width to length (5-6 feet) and the rear indentation.
All agreed that the UFO intermittently showed a red and a white patch on the surface. Francisco was sure it was a part of the craft’s skin, but Augustine thought they were lights, and Manuel could not tell either way. They were unanimous that the red was dull (comparable to red pencil on a heavy textured paper), without luminescence, and that the white reflected like bright enamel paint. They were in agreement that red was on the right, white on the left, yet size, shape and position of the colors was not precisely known.
The craft’s wobble caused the red and white to show intermittently. (See illustration of oscillation cycle: the top surface orients toward the observer for approximately one half of the wave revolution period.) The craft’s color, other than the red and white areas, was described as gray. There were no reflections or surface characteristics that suggested the surface was metallic (note: it was an overcast day.).
The trio described the craft’s complex motion primarily through hand movements. As close as can be determined, the UFO had an oscillatory period of about 2 to 2 1/2 seconds. This particular motion-apart from the object’s forward motion-is difficult to describe except in terms of analogy. Peter described the motion as similar to that of a spinning coin as it is winding down and closely approaching a flat surface.
Francisco expressed regret that he had not taken time to carefully examine the details of the craft. He had been astounded and felt so much concern for the elk that his attention was focused on watching the animal. He realized immediately that if the object could carry off a 500-pound animal, it could easily abduct a per-son-a frightening notion that several members of the group later shared.
Puzzling Question:
The craft’s estimated speed (“I could walk as fast as it moved.”-i.e. approximately 5-7 mph) closely matches the estimated duration (3-5 min.) required for the observed distance traveled, as measured on a topographical map. With such a long sighting duration, an important question looms: “Why didn’t more people see the craft with an elk suspended under it?” A number of reasons appear to answer this:
• When Francisco excitedly announced and pointed out the event, only Augustine was near enough to discern that the direction of his index finger pointed left of the herd. 14 panic-stricken elk, all weaving their way up slope, presented a sight that would be apt to draw a person’s attention.
• Not everyone heard Francisco shout, and the other witnesses remained quiet.
• Within a very short time, the craft and herd (both moving away from each other) had separated enough that when bystanders visually searched for an assumed predator, such as a mountain lion, they did not scrutinize terrain far enough away from the herd to see the craft. They also spent time checking the immediate area around themselves for dangerous animals.
• All three witnesses to the craft were so astounded and absorbed with watching the UFO that at the time they did not think to question other spectators as to what they were watching.
Aftermath:
Most of the workers have developed a sudden interest in UFOs following this incident. Some related that their spouses did not believe the story. A few are nervous when working in the forest, especially when in the general area of the incident-they constantly search the sky. Francisco could not understand what he saw, and spent several sleepless nights pondering whether the object was some type of prehistoric animal or an extraterrestrial craft. All want answers.

An update to this case appeared in Filer’s Files #12-1999. Mr. Filer contacted Mr. Robert A. Fairfax to see if he had more details on the case. Part of Mr. Fairfax’s response follows:
Filer: “I am particularly interested in the description of the craft itself.”
Fairfax: “So am I; this is one of the areas we will try and nail. There were two flashes described as the craft wobbled. A fluorescent magenta (top) and a white (bottom). These were apparently not lights but seemed to be areas on the surface. They were seen intermittently but again we will need to pin the details down along with many others.”
Filer: “What was the direction of flight and the last known direction of travel?”
Fairfax: “It was first seen in the SE traveling toward the NNW. It departed slowly to the NE, and then made a near vertical ascent into cloud cover.”
Filer: “Did they notice any kind of plasma, lighting, or electrical effects around the craft?”
Fairfax: “Possibly, the two bright color areas. The craft seemed to increase in size as it was capturing the elk. We’re trying to clarify that.”
Filer: “Did the craft tilt as it changed direction?”
Fairfax: “Wobbling was reported that was more pronounced before direction changes, but we need to verify with more witnesses.
Filer” “Did they notice a hum or sound?”
Fairfax: “There was no sound.
Filer: “Did you notice the height of the trees or the approximate height and distance from picking up the elk to the top of the trees?”
Fairfax: “Yes, but no precise calculations have been done. It had plenty of room to maneuver and climb.”
