Super Interesting Plane and Drone Designs, Courtesy of our Government This Month!

Super Interesting Plane and Drone Designs, Courtesy of our Government This Month!

By Bob Spearing

Tim Aines is the Chief Field Investigator in Illinois under the State Director, Sam Maranto. Illinois has a great team of people including great photo analysts like Greg Cisko. Tim Aines is also a retired military intelligence officer and MUFON certainly needs to bring individuals like Tim to the forefront due to their incredible knowledge base!
Tim has provided me with several spectacular illustrations of current government projects that may be accounting for numerous UFO sightings occurring across the United States in our CMS Database currently!
Per Tim, “On November 8th, the US Air Force released a rah-rah public relations video called “Heritage Today – ISR and Innovation” and in it they embedded a few teaser shots that only lasted a few seconds of two new aircraft, both of which are presumed to be flying now. 
The first one is familiar looking. 
 
It is called the RQ-180, or the Great White Bat, or also the Shikaka. It’s a spy drone that has already been seen over California and the Philippines.

The second one is presumed to be the new hypersonic space plane.

Hypersonic means a minimum of 5 times faster than sound, or 3,800 mph plus. It is called the SR-72 and is a drone that replaces the legendary SR-71 Blackbird seen below!

Here is a quick clip of the Air Force’s new drone the SR-72.

Finally, this is Otto Aviation’s new aircraft called the Celera 500L. It’s currently flying all around the country right now doing FAA flight testing at various airports.

Guess what it looks like from a distance and how many CMS reports it will generate.
Your first 2 guesses don’t count… 😊 Thank you Tim!

MUFON SADDENED BY THE PASSING OF DR. R. LEO SPRINKLE

MUFON SADDENED BY THE PASSING OF DR. R. LEO SPRINKLE
c5936a93-c4c7-4aa6-82ea-3c271e603afb.jpg
Well known UFO researcher Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle died this past week ( 22 november 2021) . Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle, known in the UFO community as a hardworking psychologist interested in UFOs, particularly alien abduction and who organized contactee conferences each year since 1980, has died at 91.
He was a Professor of Psychology at the University of Wyoming. MUFON joins the UFOlogy Community in mourning his passing. The man was not only brilliant but was a friend to many many experiencers throughout the years. 
Dr. Sprinkle was very close to MUFON’s Colorado State Director Katie Griboski who wrote an entire book about the correspondences Dr. Sprinkle received over decades from the people he helped. 
For those of you unfamiliar with him, Katie has allowed us to post this short biography from her book Letters of Love and Light.
Psychologist, hypnotherapist, and UFO contactee researcher R. Leo Sprinkle was born in 1930 in Rocky Ford, Colorado. As a young man he joined the United States Army, serving two years as a corporal in 194th Field Artillery Battalion in Wertheim, Germany.
He then returned to the United States, and began his studies at the University of Colorado, where he earned his bachelor’s degree, then a Master’s of Personnel Service in Counseling. He received his Ph.D. in Counseling and Guidance at the University of Missouri in 1961.
In 1964, after serving as Director of the Counseling Center at the University of North Dakota, he became Associate Professor of Guidance Education at the University of Wyoming. Leo served as Counselor and Associate Professor of Psychology there from 1967 till his retirement in 1989.
Leo’s many published writings have included his book Soul Samples (1999, Granite Publishing) and his approximately 50 articles published in academic and UFO journals. These have focused mainly on UFO research, extrasensory perception, hypnosis, reincarnation, spiritual growth, and counseling theory and practice.
 
Not long into his career, Leo became increasingly known in UFO circles as a researcher of contactee experiences, offering an open mind and a sympathetic ear for those needing to speak of their experiences. A nonbeliever for many years, Leo migrated, as he puts it, from “scoffer” to “skeptic” after experiencing a UFO sighting himself in 1949. A second sighting with his wife in 1956 then moved him from “skeptic” to “unwilling believer.”
 
By the mid 1960s, Leo was involved in trailblazing research and investigation of UFO abductions. As psychology professor and therapist, over the decades he has performed more than 500 hypnotic regressions of possible contactees and abductees. Viewed as an authority in the UFO field, he has spoken on this topic on national television and at international conferences.
 
Among the many cases Leo has investigated have been some of the most extraordinary and well-known UFO incidents to have occurred since 1930.
In 1964, using a set of standard tests, Leo’s breakthrough research included the first psychological study of hundreds of individuals who had reported sighting or experiencing a UFO. He concluded from this that most UFO witnesses operate within the normal psychological range……..
 
“My approach is to minimize the tendency to ‘explain’ (or explain away) the reality of psychic experiences,” Leo has said, “and to emphasize the willingness to explore the personal meaning of these human experiences of spiritual emergence.” 
 
In 1980, Leo founded the University of Wyoming’s annual summer Rocky Mountain Conference on UFO Investigation as a meeting place for hundreds of UFO contactees, abductees, and other experiencers seeking affirmation and support. 
 
In 1988, Leo published the PACTS model of abductee/contactee experience. Based on 24 years of study, it marked out five stages of experience. Briefly, these were: Preparation (family and cultural experiences of ESP and/or spiritual contacts, including childhood visitations by Spiritual Beings (SBs), Abduction (UFO sightings and/or abduction experiences inducted or initiated, involuntarily, by SBs), Contact (adult visitations inducted or initiated voluntarily by SBs), Training (instruction for a mission or task), and Service (cooperation with SBs—channeling verbal or written information from them, providing healing, instruction, or assistance to others). 
 
There is also the accomplishment which this book celebrates: Leo’s active correspondence over 40 years, in supportive yet academically responsible ways, with UFO and ET experiencers all over the world. 
Over the years, as a result of his research, Leo has concluded….that UFO activity is a part of an incoming wave of human consciousness—a shift into viewing ourselves not only as “planetary persons,” but as “cosmic citizens.” 
 
Thank you Dr. Sprinkle. You will be greatly missed!

Fifty Years Ago in UFOlogy - Two Historic Cases

Fifty Years Ago in UFOlogy - Two Historic Cases
By Bob Spearing
1971 was a banner year for classic UFO Cases throughout the world. Perhaps two of the most intriguing investigated that year had what we would consider trace evidence.
First, let's look at the September 4th, 1971 Lago De Cote, Costa Rica case.
One of the most analyzed UFO photographs ever was taken by a Costa Rican Government plane whose crew were doing an aerial mapping mission. Since these were days long before digital photography the negative went through much testing to verify if what was on it was real, a hoax or a blemish. The flight crew and mapping engineers were considered above reproach and no hoax was suspected. However, the object in the photo was only seen later. No one on the plane observed anything below them with their own eyes.

ddfcc409-e881-41fe-9c3f-c515eb945047.png
Richard Haines and Jacques Vallee analyzed the photo in The Journal of Scientific Exploration, Volume #3, Issue number #2 and concluded "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".
Richard Hall of NICAP’s analysis was as follows: Very high reliability, unquestionably an authentic
photograph. The lack of a visual sighting or any observed or recorded extraordinary performances reduces the "strangeness" level. Yet, the evidentiary data is strong and the investigation thorough, resulting in a well-documented and well-investigated anomaly.
Ray Stanford, another longtime UFO researcher most famous for his analysis of the April 1964 Socorro New Mexico egg shaped UFO encounter of Officer Lonnie Zamora provided his take next and was at odds with his fellow contemporaries as to what was seen. He considered it may have been the bulb reflector in a common flashlight. See his analysis below.
89ec1e9b-8bbe-464d-a248-88b7ce27104e.png
To this day there is great debate about what was seen. Entire internet forums are dedicated to attempting to debunk the photo outright or to suggesting various types of camera artifacts such as emulsion blemishes.

Our second case took place in Delphos, Kansas on November 16, 1971 when a sixteen-year-old named Ronald Johnson saw a mushroom shape descending on the farm where he was tending sheep with his dog.

6d68588c-0d83-4988-a8a4-fd2bb4807f75.png
Ronald came within 25 feet of the object which was covered in multi-colored lights. The object was reported to be nine feet wide and ten feet high. Ron ran to get his parents and when they returned, the object was gone but a glowing ring was found in the dirt where the object was seen hovering.

75053bd4-5f86-483d-bb04-42b4d2ee410a.png
The case has several interesting facets including possible missing time for Ron, the farm animals being disturbed at the time of the sighting and for weeks afterwards but most of all was the physical effect suffered by Ron’s mom after touching the glowing material. Her fingers became numb for days and where she wiped off the dust on her leg that area of skin became numb also.
Ted Phillips initially investigated with the cooperation of the Delphos police and the story eventually appeared in the September 1985 MUFON Journal.
Again, Jacques Vallee got involved and tested the soil sample finding Actinomycetes which are intermediate organisms between bacteria and fungus according to Vallee. So, was it merely the result of a natural phenomenon of fungus growth called Fairy Rings?
Even noted debunker Phillip Klass got involved claiming the ring was caused by sheep urine.
Phyllis Budinger, a well-known Ohio chemist who has helped MUFON on innumerable trace evidence 
cases, tested the samples and found Oxalic Acid which could have been the result of exhaust from low level ionization or even a combustion engine. The National Inquirer even convened a panel of well-known UFO researchers to examine the best cases of the time with a $5,000 prize on the line. The Delphos Case and Ron Johnson’s family won the prize!

Is it a Meteor or a UFO?

Is it a Meteor or a UFO?
By Bob Spearing
MUFON Field Investigators, MUFON members, sky watchers and the general public all occasionally turn their eyes to the sky and see many amazing things. None are more spectacular that what appears to be a meteor streaking across the sky in any myriad colors and lengths!
MUFON receives hundreds, if not thousands, of cases of possible meteors. Many are but could some of them be something anomalous? Answers can be found by the dogged investigator!
The American Meteor Society has observers all over the United States, Canada and other continents reporting in when they see a purported meteor in the sky. Their expertise ranges from common citizens to astronomers!
For the UFO investigator, lets look into how this can help us determine a natural phenomenon from an artificial one deserving more scrutiny!
For example, if you have a UFO seen at 10:02 PM over New Jersey you can go to the AMS website fireball log at http://www.amsmeteors.org/fireball_report and see if someone reported a corresponding meteor in the sky at that time over NJ.

6aa0273e-37ba-4512-ba91-ef7e732cfa59.jpg

This is what the log looks like for June 21st, 2014 for New Jersey local time. You can see that a fireball was reported over Tewksbury at 10:02 (22:02) PM.
This however does not prove that the object was a meteor. Meteors usually enter the atmosphere incredibly fast between 25,000 and 160,000 miles per hour which is what creates its tail as it burns up from friction. Speed and mass determine the length of the tail while composition determines its color (copper=green).
First, to expand on our thesis, extend your search of the North American eastern seaboard south of New Jersey for the time frame 10:02 PM to 10:03 PM. Try Delaware and Maryland!
Let’s say you get a hit from Dover, Delaware at 10:05 PM. That means the object traveled from
Tewksbury, NJ to Dover, Delaware in three minutes. That’s 109.5 miles. Let’s calculate.
There are 3600 seconds in an hour. The object traveled 109.5 miles in 180 seconds.
Multiply 109.5 by 3600 seconds to get miles per second and then divide by 3 minutes (180 seconds) to get miles per hour.
The answer is 2,190 mph. This is definitely not a meteor. It is too slow.
Let’s try another one. The Tewksbury object at 10:02 PM reaches Dover Delaware at 10:10 PM. It took 8 minutes to go 109.5 miles. So 109.5 miles multiplied by 3600 seconds divided by eight minutes (480 seconds) equals 821.25 mph. Most definitely not a meteor!
The other advantage to the American Meteor Society fireball log is that it gives you a trajectory map with times of sightings at various points.

cf3df0f1-4372-43e5-9656-f10329e0ad61.jpg

Looking at the map above you can see that the Tewksbury sighting at 22:02 PM and the Somerset NJ sighting at 22:00 PM are probably related but the Dansville and Montrose, Pennsylvania sightings are not related.
Since the distance between Tewksbury and Somerset New Jersey is 20.1 miles and the object took 120 seconds to go from point A to point B we can calculate that it traveled at 603 MPH in that time.
We would have a serious UFO situation here! Thus the importance of using the AMS website in your reporting can not be underestimated! Just because the news tells you it is a meteor, doesn’t mean it is one!
When an object purportedly is registered as a meteor but is far slower than what a meteor would be traveling at then we need to go to the second level of investigation. Here we would use a website called www.flightradar24.com. This website logs all aircraft in the world that use a transponder. This means some military or secret flights might not show up.
But the primary use of flightradar24 is simply to determine if the object flying over your position, is a known aircraft. Why is this important?

4a0ec714-845b-452b-9a49-408bb94ada11.jpg

SCREENSHOT OF ATLANTA VIA FLIGHTRADAR 24
Well, you saw what appeared to be a meteor. It ended up being too slow. So, craft are the next most likely explanation. Can we identify the craft?
The beauty of flightradar24 is that depending on your membership you can go back in time a year or more to see every flight with a transponder over your location. If you allow them to place an antenna on your home, you get the platinum membership free for life!
So, after ruling out a meteor, you look at all flights over your location on June 21 st at 10:02 P.M.
You see a vehicle traveling in the same flight path as to the object you saw and since your object was moving at 603 mph according to the American Meteor Society log and Flightradar24 shows a plane at near the same speed and direction, you can surmise it is the same object. An IFO.
The issue comes when nothing registers on Flightradar24. That website will only eliminate a known, registered and transponding object from your possibility list. That’s a lot of eliminating. But if you end up with a slow flying object that is too slow to be a meteor and does not register as an aircraft with a transponder, then you have a few possibilities namely it is military, it is private with no transponder, OR you have a vehicle or object of an anomalous nature that requires more in-depth study. This more in-depth study could entail contacting local air traffic control towers, law enforcement to see if other reports were obtained, submitting FOIA requests, trying to canvass a neighborhood for more witnesses or looking for correlating cases in the MUFON Case Management System and/or The National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) run by Peter Davenport.
While none of these tools are foolproof for the MUFON Investigator or the interested general public, it does show that citizens are not helpless in trying to identify UFOs. Many, many tools are available to the inquisitive person. And in many cases, primitive tools like a camera or a good website are all that is needed to question the status quo! Maybe, just maybe, you did see something that requires further investigation!
