- NEW JERSEY - TWO BOOMERANG SHAPED CRAFT SPOTTED
-
- TUCKERTON -- I was standing outside my home with my family
and neighbors looking at a strange pink sky on April 6, 2000. I was outside
at 8:34 PM because the color was very odd. There were clear skies with
lots of stars out and the moon was very clear. As we kept staring at the
sky we centered our attention to an area where the sky was a pink circle
that looked like pink sunrays. All of a sudden I saw two boomerang shaped
objects flying through the pink rays in the sky. They had no lights on
them and were dull looking, kind of like a dull silver. I watched the
two objects follow each other and zigzag around a few stars until they
disappeared. There were no sounds as the objects were flying across the
sky. They traveled faster then an airplane but slower then a shooting
star and they didn't look like a shooting stars. Thanks to Peter Davenport

- PUERTO RICO HAS TWO MORE UFO SIGHTINGS
-
- SAN JUAN -- On Saturday, March 25, 2000, at 5:50 PM,
two high-flying UFOs were seen by several dozen eyewitnesses. According
to author Scott Corrales they traveled in opposite directions. "One
was traveling west at an approximate heading of 295 degrees magnetic.
The other was traveling east at a heading for 115 degrees magnetic."
"At least one of the eyewitnesses, Celestino 'Junior' Ortiz, a popular
radio announcer on Alpha Rock 105.7 FM, was able to capture both objects
on his camcorder." "As he was leaving his house, Ortiz, his
wife and son, and friends spotted the mysterious object heading west at
a 20-degree angle. He reached for his camcorder and began filming. The
objects initially looked like comets or meteors entering the atmosphere.
The object traveling east passed high above the eyewitnesses, said the
members of his family. No sound of jet engines or sonic boom was heard
as it flew by." In early March 2000, Wally Durand Urbino of the Puerto
Rican UFO Research Group also reported a UFO sighting in the city of Isabella,
P.R. "Luminous balls were seen. The witnesses reported that the
luminous spheres departed in the direction of the mountains, heading north,
and then veered towards the east, heading out over the Atlantic Ocean,
becoming lost in the sea mist." Thanks to Scott Corrales y Lucy Guzman

- PENNSYLVANIA - FLYING TRIANGLE SEEN
-
- PITTSBURGH -- I saw an arrowhead shaped object without
lights pass very near the moon on April 13, 2000. It took two seconds
to cover the distance of the diameter of the moon at 22:30 hours. The
object was moving from west to east. The sky was clear and the object
probably would not have been noticed unless moonlight shone on the object.
I would have thought it was a cloud by the general coloring, if it were
not for its extremely symmetrical shape. It did not change shape or fade,
and there were no other clouds present in the sky. The size of the image
was about 3/4 the size of the moon. I'm just curious if anyone else saw
something that night in the Pittsburgh sky? A few seconds after witnessing
the event I did hear what sounded like a loud jet, but I live in an urban
area with a great many noises from multiple sources. Thanks to Peter Davenport

- INDIANA - UFO HOVERS OVER PLANT
-
- INDIANAPOLIS -- WB reports that he is a former Indiana
Deputy Sheriff now in private security at a large Indianapolis chemical
plant. On Tuesday, March 14, 2000, at about 10:50 PM, he was patrolling
the facility with an associate, when he observed a white glowing elongated
object about 30 to 35 feet long. The object was hovering over high-tension
wires about 50 yards away. It was completely silent. As they watched,
the object moved in a southerly direction at about 25 to 30 mph, and passed
over them about 50 feet up. It continued along in silence and disappeared
to the south after about three minutes. The witness has prepared a sketch,
and indicated the object was shaped like a grain of rice, rounded at both
ends. This case was referred to Indiana MUFON for investigation. Thanks

- WEST VIRGINIA - VIDEOS OF DISC UFOs
-
- WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS -- On April 6, 2000, the Fire Tower
Look Out at Blue Bend Recreation area videotaped four UFOs at 4:30 PM.
Four UFOs can be seen just after they come out of the cloud. The objects
are circular and appear to be approximately 50 feet across. Within a two
minutes 14 different UFO's are caught on video. The best video is when
nine of these objects are seen flying straight up through the clouds all
at once, together. They all continue flying even higher up into the atmosphere.
All of the footage has been slowed down to 90 frames per/second. This
footage is absolutely phenomenal. Thanks to Chris Miller See: http://www.UFOfootage.com/

- MISSOURI - NUMEROUS UFOs SIGHTED
-
- NORTHEAST -- On January 13, 2000, we watched approximately
32 UFO's and seven aircraft between 6:45 to 8:45 PM. They were going traveling
in all directions and not in formation. There were eight at one time,
then three or four at a time. It first started when my daughter and my
two grandchildren were on their way to see me. They live about 23 miles
west of me. They were driving down the road when my grandson saw something
in the sky in the distance and they began to watch it closer. They were
so hypnotized by it that they turned off the highway on to a secondary
road to get a closer look. They drove several miles down the road until
my daughter and grandson began to get scared. They wanted my granddaughter
to turn around, but she would not. She was almost hypnotized by the light.
She finally pulled onto a gravel road and stopped. Now they were very
close to the object and observed it for five minutes. During the time
they stayed in this spot the light quit moving and just hovered. The mother
and grandson were getting scared so finally my granddaughter started back
the same way. The light followed them as they returned the way they came.
The UFO crossed over the top of their car and followed them at a distance
all the way to my house. When the object passed over the car and when
hovering it changed form. It went from actually looking like a UFO to
looking completely different. But it was the SAME light! A soon as they
got to my house they ran in and got me and we all stood outside watching.
That is when it all started. UFOs were everywhere! We counted 32 in all,
7 airplanes. We got a neighbor to watch, then my daughter went to her friend's
house and got them to watch, so there were actually about seven witnesses.
There was no noise except the noise from the planes. Thanks to Adeline

- ARKANSAS - FLYING CIGAR STOPS CAR
-
- HOT SPRINGS - On April 9, 2000, I was driving home from
church home and saw an enormous cigar shaped craft. I happened to look
up and coming straight at me was a metallic pinkish cigar shaped object
flying toward my vehicle at about 100 feet above the road when my car died
at 16:30 PM. Light was glowing off of it and it was going more than 100
miles an hour. It stopped right in front of my car, and that was the last
thing I remembered before I woke up. I have flashes of memory that I seem
to recall being held to a table but I couldn't feel any straps or restraints.
I was very cold and I heard a high-pitched buzzing the entire time. When
I awoke, I was laying in the back-seat of my car. I could smell a burning
odor like the wires in my car were fried. It was dark and when I got home
about four and a half-hours later. I went to sleep and slept for fourteen
hours. Just yesterday, I noticed I had two bright red scars running parallel
to each other along my back. I read somewhere that unexplainable scars
or missing time were signs of abduction. I really was skeptical at first
but now I'm grateful for people like you helping us. Thanks to Peter Davenport

- TEXAS - LARGE FLYING TRIANGLE SPOTTED
-
- ARLINGTON -- Mike Harman reports seeing a large Flying
Triangle or kite shaped craft on April 10, 2000, at 10:00 PM Eastern Daylight
Time. I was driving north on IH 360, and drove under I 20 when I spotted
a large triangular shaped object about a mile directly ahead of me. The
object was 60 to 100 feet wide judging from it's proximity to the high
tension power line towers near it. I would guess this craft was two pencil
erasers wide as held at arm's length. The triangle was hovering or moving
very slowly near the power lines. The triangle was fairly flat on top
and was sharply pointed on each end. It was solid black and its nose pointed
slightly downward as it hovered almost motionless. The altitude of the
object was not more than 500 to 1000 feet above the ground. I also noticed
a shiny metallic much smaller object just ahead of the large triangle.
This object was very close to the triangle and seemed to be connected
with the triangle in some way. It could have been a helicopter, but it
was too far away to tell for sure. I noticed the sun glinting off the
object as it made a turn. The silver object was only a tenth the size
of the triangle. I was unable to determine sound as I was observing this
from inside a moving automobile at the time. They hovered near high-tension
lines. My wife was with me and would not allow me stop, "keep your
eyes on the road," she said. I had two or three minute's total time
to observe these strange craft. I was a mile away from the craft at the
time of this sighting, I could not make out too much detail and could only
see the shape of the craft. It was too flat for a blimp or a balloon and
what was that bright silver object so near it? Both were hovering not
moving or moving very slowly. The weather was partly cloudy and the object
was definitely below the could cover. This is the second major sighting
I've had since 04/09/2000 at 12:50PM. Thanks to Michael Harman Mike_Harman@rocketmail.com.
Private UFO Investigations
-
- LIFE BEYOND EARTH
-
- Astronauts Eugene Cernan and Guion S. Bluford both believe
there's life beyond Earth. In a Los Angeles Times article in 1973, Eugene
Cernan who was commander of Apollo 17 said, "I've been asked (about
UFOs) and I've said publicly I thought they (UFOs) were somebody else,
some other civilization."
-
- Astronaut Guion S. Bluford, a veteran of four space shuttle
missions, also says there is extraterrestrial life in the universe. He
holds a doctorate degree in aerospace engineering and was the first African
American to fly in space aboard the Challenger in 1983. Bluford flew on
STS 8 in 1983 (the shuttle's first nighttime launch), STS 61A in 1985,
STS 39 in 1991, and STS 53 in 1992. Logging more than 700 hours in space
and 5,000 hours as an Air Force jet pilot, Bluford currently is vice president
of the science and engineering group for Federal Data Corp.
-
- He recently spoke at the Information Technology Association
of America's Convocation in Chicago. "When you're in orbit mire than
200 miles above the Earth, you realize how delicate and thin the layer
that is our atmosphere really is," he said. "And you realize
how insignificant Earth is in the universe. You see no national boundaries
upon the land, and you realize that all six billion of us must live and
survive together." Bluford said he thinks it's likely that other
life exists beyond Earth. "We're so infinitesimal," he said,
"that it's hard not to imagine other life being created beyond our
planet and galaxy. I don't know what form this life might take, but even
on Earth, life forms are created in many different environments--undersea,
on land, and in the atmosphere."
-
- MONTANA DISC HOVERS FOR TWO HOURS
-
- SOMERS -- Vern Corban by all means, publish my story.
The more it is seen, the more likely I will reach someone who may also
have seen that craft. I was at my grandmother's home in the Flathead Valley.
I was about five years old and this is why I do not recall for sure the
year, but I do know it was around 1953 during the summer. The sky was
bright blue and the land was covered with grass. My mother came into the
living room and told me there was a UFO outside. Mom and grandma were
frightened, so I was not allowed to go outside, but we did go to the window
facing the UFO and peek out. Across the street no more than 50 yards away
hovered a silvery top-shaped object about the size of a water tower reservoir--the
kind that is mounted on long girder legs. It was directly above the neighbor's
driveway. There were many people lined up along the highway, which ran
between our house and the UFO. There were no intervening trees or buildings,
so it was quite clear that this was no normal aircraft. It held its position
25 feet above the ground for something like two hours. Since, I was not
allowed to continue to watch, I didn't see it depart. I was told several
people notified the authorities and they refused to come out at first.
When they finally did the craft had already left. I believe that there
may have been pictures taken by some of the witnesses. Thanks to Vern
Corban vcorban@earthlink.net.

- CALIFORNIA LIGHTS OVER DESERT
-
- Donald Macpherson writes on April 6, 2000, my wife and
I were driving east on I 10 about one-third of the way from Indio toward
Blythe. A quarter moon was low in the western sky around 8 30 PM and the
night was clear. My wife said, " There's lightning'." I glanced
out her passenger side window and noticed a yellowish light a hundred yards
south of the highway. Then a second light appeared about two hand widths
to the east. Then a third and fourth light appeared about the same distance
east. The lights were quite evenly spaced and about the same height above
the top of a hill. Another light passed over the three lights and was
outlined by their glow. The lights were traveling east at about 70 mph
just maintaining the same speed we were. There was another flash behind
the hills. The lights were in view for fifteen minutes until the road
curved to the left. I assumed there was some kind of a military operation.
The lights were perfectly steady, yellowish and stayed at the same height.
Flares would have been white, flickering and descending giving off visible
smoke. No aircraft employs steady yellowish lights. Considering the fact
that these lights stayed due south of us for fifteen minutes, I must conclude
that they were traveling east at our speed. Thanks to: Donald Macpherson

- NEW ZEALAND SIGHTINGS AND ABDUCTION
-
- CHRISTCHURCH -- Kevin Kemm who is 42 writes I have been
investigating UFO's for the last 17 years and have personally seen 25 most
with witnesses at my side. It all began with abductions from my home in
Christchurch. One time while on the road with my band six of us saw an
enormous UFO send out what I now know as a probe. It hovered silently
over our heads. The underside was exactly like the Travis Walton craft.
Some of the guys in the band freaked out and returned inside the house.
Two of us remained outside until the ship shot strait up and vanished.
The craft was at least 100 feet across. The underside was a swirling
mass like looking into a cooling volcano crust. I'm not too sure if we
had missing time, as I haven't spoken to the others for many years. Perhaps,
I should have regressive hypnosis to find out about these first abductions.
I can remember almost everything; they were Grey's who froze me. All
I could use was my eyes. I tried to speak but I couldn't. One of the Grey's
came over and touched my head. I felt a lot more at ease, and I was totally
awake. Since then, I have vivid premonitions, which often come true.
I have predicted many events and have written them down and had the notes
witnessed. Another gift they gave me was to paint awesome pictures that
I wasn't able to do before. The Grey's don't like it when I move, even
though I'm tagged they get lost for a while and I actually miss their presence.
A close friend of mine and I often go down to the beach near our city
at 2:30 AM, when the UFO how starts. I'm really surprised no one else
is on the beach at that time as this happens quite often. Usually two
craft come along. One blinks out and the other remains over the beach
though out the night as if to keep an eye on the city. I recently purchased
a digital camera and on the next clear night I'm going out. Yes, you may
print my story if you want. Please dot hesitate to email me if you need
an experienced field investigator as I am already a qualified private investigator
by profession. Thanks to: Kevin k-kemm@xtra.co.nz (k-kemm)

- ROSWELL EVIDENCE IN GENERAL RAMEY'S HAND
-
- On July 7, 1947, the Army Air Force announced from Roswell
they had recovered the wreckage of a crashed UFO. Less than twenty-four
hours later, General Ramey the Commander's 8th Army Air Force was photographed
in his office by Fort Worth Star Telegram photographer James Bond Johnson
holding a piece of paper and standing in front of the alleged debris.
Several distinguished groups are attempting to decipher the writing on
the assumed message using modern computers. David Rudiak comments on last
week's Filer's Files #14, Message Comparisons saying, "My thinking
is based on what I believe to be a fairly accurate reading of a _real_
message being held by General Ramey, a Roswell principle at a critical
moment." I have some important amendments to the last three lines
of the message. The following I now believe very accurately conveys the
content of these lines: (Capital letters/words denote higher confidence
as to accuracy the lower case letters. dashes (-) denote uncertainty as
to space or character). Line 5......AT ROSWELL. ASsure [Affirm] Line 6.
thaT ciC-teAM SAID SEND MiStatEd rElease AS STORY And said [MiStakEn]
[mEaning/message/vErsion] Line 7. (story)theY nEXt SEND OUT is OF WEATHER
BALLOONS would farE[takE] COPY [Stamp in large letters partially obscuring
left edge of lines 7 & 8] Line 8. (better if)THEY ADD LAND DRopsONDE
CreWS. <"stage"[Handwriting beneath "dropsonde"]
says "land dropsonde"}
-
- These lines are clearly about the Roswell cover-up.
If my take on these lines is accurate (and I strongly feel that it is),
then a scenario something like the following emerges. A counter-intelligence
team was in charge (the "CIC-TEAM"). There may also be a reference
to another "team" up on the third line of the message (according
to interpretations by Don Burleson and myself) that handled wreckage transported
to Fort Worth. ("...THE WRECK YOU FORWARDED TO THE --TEAM(?) AT
FORT WORTH, TEX.")] Ramey seems to be asking (or had asked) for
confirmation that this team was responsible for the original misstated/mistaken
story. (Ramey would therefore appear not to be fully in-the-loop on this
matter.) Thus the captured crashed disk press release from Roswell base
was no accident and probably not the handiwork of regular Roswell or 8th
Army Air Force personnel. Instead the press release was a plan put into
action by the CI team in charge. The CI team also apparently thought that
the follow-up weather balloon story next being sent out (not clear who
originated it) would fly better if they bolstered it with "land dropsonde
crews." A "dropsonde" is a specialized meteorological word
for a weather balloon radiosonde that is dropped by parachute, usually
from a plane, but sometimes lofted by a balloon. (Funk and Wagnall's Dictionary)
A "dropsonde crew" is just an obtuse and unusual way of saying
a weather balloon crew. Add weather balloon crews to increase credibility
of the weather balloon story, says the message.
-
- The last part of the message is referring to the military
weather balloon demonstrations that followed immediately after Roswell
used to debunk Roswell and the recent national wave of flying saucer sightings.
This is a matter of historical record. Alamogordo was one of these on
July 9, but there were others published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram
with photos on July 11. The handwriting underneath "land dropsonde
crews," possibly Ramey's, says to "stage" one of the demonstrations
and make sure photos were taken ("photos yes."). And so it was
done a day and a half later at Fort Worth AAF. There also appears to be
a "COPY" stamp indicating this wasn't the original, but a copy
of a message recently sent out or received. This message obviously contains
many important clues as to what happened at Roswell. (And I haven't even
talked about the "victims of the wreck" phrase up near the top
of the message.) The provenance of this document is unquestionable. General
Ramey himself is holding the smoking gun in his hand over the dead body
of a weather balloon. Where is this message now? If Roswell was truly
a "nonevent" as the modern AF counterintelligence team labeled
it, then Ramey's message, copy or original, should be in some archive somewhere
along with other of Ramey's or 8th AAF documents. We can settle all arguments
over exactly what it says by obtaining a copy of it. What harm could possibly
come of it? On the other hand, if Roswell was a lot more than a crashed
Mogul balloon, then we can expect to get the usual run-around from the
Air Force during FOIA requests. Thanks to David Rudiak
-
- HOW TO TAKE UFO PHOTOS
-
- With the advent of better cameras we are obtaining more
videos and photographs of UFOs. Actually we would like to analyze your
photos. Mark Cashman MUFON's CT State Director suggests: First of all,
remind your readers that objects seen with the naked eye will appear much
smaller on film. The moon, which seems so large, can be a pinpoint on
film when shot with a standard lens. Photos of pinpoint light sources
are useless. Second, the only photos of interest will be those which show
something large enough to demonstrate detail. In addition, they must show
the object near, preferably in front of, reference points of a known distance;
this will allow determination of size and make hoaxes more difficult.
Multiple different exposure rates, zoom, and f-stop can be helpful, as
can be the use of a variety of filters. Third, a tradeoff between sensitivity
and grain size must be struck. Usually this means films no higher than
800 ASA, but preferably any higher than 400 ASA. Unfortunately, in low
light conditions, this means that handshake will cause blur, so a tripod
is advised. Fourth, no photo is any better than the report and the investigation.
Photogrammetry cannot resolve the truth of a photo alone. Witnesses who
photograph must provide at least as much documentation as the anecdotal
witness. They must especially identify the type of camera, lens, and the
time of day and direction of the photo, and zoom / f-stop settings. In
addition, they should preserve the camera for examination by experts.
Ideally, after photographing the UFO, the witness should shoot a variety
of natural objects at known distances using the same film, camera, and
settings. These objects should be identified, their distance specified,
and the prints made available along with the UFO shots. These calibration
photos are essential to determining the nature of an unidentified light
source or object. If the sighting is a distant night or day sighting,
streetlights and passing aircraft make good calibration candidates. The
lens must be clean. Finally, everyone should become more aware of the
appearance of lens flares (day and night), development flaws, lens dirt,
and other artifacts. Note that digital cameras have their own artifacts
that are very unusual looking. Digital photos and videos should be evaluated
very carefully, because they're low resolution and slow frame rates make
hoaxing and errors fairly easy. Ideally, the use of stereo camera setups,
like that described by Dr. Maccabee in "The Gulf Breeze Photos",
can show something about the distance of photographed objects. However,
calibration is essential. For subjects like "rods" which may
be very close to the camera, calibration, preferably independently verified,
is even more important. I hope this helps. Thanks to Mark Cashman, creator
of The Temporal Doorway at mcashman@temporaldoorway.com (Mark Cashman)
