- NEW YORK UFO SIGHTING RELATED TO CARTERET
-
- PATCHOGUE, LONG ISLAND -- On July 14, 2001, at 11:21
PM, multiple reports were received from Long Island. In Patchogue, Long
Island witnesses were traveling east on Route 27 and saw a brightly looking
disc pass in front of their car on July 15. There were a total of four
reports just minutes before the Carteret sighting at 12:15 AM. There are
indications that multiple UFOs were present along the Long Island, New
York to New Jersey corridor. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director NUFORC

- CARTERET -- Investigation of the twenty slow moving lights
observed by hundreds on July 15, 2001, continue. Other witnesses now report
sighting a fast moving UFO in the Newark Airport area. "The video
tape appears to show a UFO in the lower portion of the video closest to
the videographer in East Carteret.

-
- LAGRANGE -- MUFONGA's former State Director, John Thompson
received a recent report of a 'white pyramid' hovering in the sky for about
8 seconds, around 4:00 PM on July 27, 2001. A motorist on Highway 219 just
south of the Chattahoochee River observed it to the west at about a 45-60
degree angle, estimating it was a mile away. Upon reaching the next clearing,
it was gone. The object was much larger than an airliner, and two sides
of the pyramid were seen. There was scattered cloud cover. The LaGrange
Airport advised that there were no reported blimps or balloons in the area,
and none of the pilots had reported anything unusual. Thanks to John Thompson
and Tom Sheets MUFONGA SD.

- OHIO, INDIANA GREEN FIREBALL
-
- OHIO INDIANA BORDER -- Peter Davenport the Director of
NUFORC reports that on Tuesday night, July 31st, at 2120 hours. (PDT),
He received a report from a long haul trucker, traveling westbound through
Ohio, and located 64 miles east of the Ohio border. He reported witnessing
a very dramatic blue-green "fireball," which was streaking from
his left to right, approximately 25-30 degrees above the horizontal plane
in the western sky ahead of him. He telephoned two minutes after the event.
-
- BLANCHESTER, OHIO -- On July 31, 2001, at 11:50 PM an
object was moving so fast that the witness had a hard time following it.
Then it just stopped, without slowing down. The witness said, "As
I turned onto my road, it was hovering over our house. I was trying to
get home as quick as possible so my family could see it. I got to my driveway
and it shot across the sky again, as silent as can be." There was
NO sound coming from this object. It just sat in the sky, for about 4 minutes.
It didn't bob up and down or move in the slightest bit. I ran inside
to get my video camera (but the battery was dead), I went back outside
and it was still there, over the field. Then it was gone in an instant.
I have never seen ANYTHING go so fast and then come to a dead stop. It
was amazing! Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC www.ufocenter.com.

- INDIANA DAYLIGHT UFO
-
- MILAN ñ Outstanding Researcher Kenny Young writes
he received an email from the gentleman claiming that an object was again
visible last night after 2:00 AM. At any rate, the weather around here
is hot and hazy with a gloomy overcast. I would be hard to imagine an atmospheric
or celestial issue like an incoming bolide/meteor/fireball that could be
seen in daylight through this haze. I had just talked with one of the
witnesses by telephone regarding two suspected UFO sightings near Milan
at 2:45 a.m. on July 31 and again on August 1st at 3:35 a.m. She sounded
sober and alert. She said that what they had seen the last two evenings
was 'very unusual' and that she had "never seen anything like this
before." She described distant 'star-like lights' in a fixed triangular
formation. This was not airplanes." I inquired how she could ascertain
these were not airplanes (almost to the point of asking a leading question
by getting her to describe any particular glow or color) and she said:
"By the way it looked" and again went on to describe the three
distant 'star-like lights' in a fixed triangular formation.
-
- I am not satisfied that this is 'something different'
without any outstanding characteristic such as glow, pulse or halo. Just
three star-like lights that could easily be high-flying jets for purposeful
or purely coincidental reason were flying about the same speed and from
the position of the observer may have been in a convenient triangular formation.
Perhaps even high-flying spy satellites? Thanks to KENNY YOUNG ufo@FUSE.NET.

- MICHIGAN GREEN FIREBALL
-
- OSCEOLA -- I was traveling west from Midland towards
Luddington at around 12:20 AM this morning on August 1, 2001, and I saw
what I thought to be a shooting star tracking from South to North. I caught
it early on and couldn't make my mind up what it was. I was almost suggesting
to myself that it could be a satellite due to the way it wasn't getting
brighter, when it did just that. Slowly it started to fizzle like a fireworks,
then it grew in size getting brighter all the time and seemingly sparking,
then I saw a puff of green and then it all turned a really bright burning
green. I past a few trees but could still make it out it was so bright,
then I came out on the other side (I was looking north now) and the fire
stopped and just this red glow continued for a second, then it was gone.
I suspect there is a hole in the ground a few miles north from here. The
object didn't break up.
-
- Peter Davenport reports NUFORC has received a number
of very interesting reports from Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and other
states, which suggest to us that the event may not have been a typical
meteoric event. One young woman in Ohio reports that she was witness to
a blue-green fireball, which suddenly stopped and hovered for an estimate
5 minutes. It then "shot off," moving over the horizon very quickly.

- KENTUCKY TV VIDEOS UFO
-
- LEXINGTON ñ Kenny Young reports a television news
crew suspects that they have captured a strange aerial object on videotape.
WTVQ-TV News Channel 36, an ABC affiliate in Lexington, reported on their
11:00 p.m. newscast that one of their videographers documented the suspected
oddity on Thursday, August 2, 2001, over the city. Cincinnati resident
Chris Heiert caught the story as it was broadcast from the Lexington television
station and quickly notified me of the report. Within minutes of receiving
the information I had placed a call to the news station and was lucky to
speak with the videographer at 11:20 p.m. while the news program was still
in live production. The videographer, informed that he had been interviewing
someone at a car wash on Richmond Road for a news segment scheduled for
Friday's newscast. The person being interviewed at around 5:30 p.m. first
spotted the object and gestured for the news crew to take notice.
-
- "I looked in that direction and this thing was visibly
seen with the naked eye," the videographer said, "so I swung
my camera around to get a shot of it and shot it for a minute." The
object seemed to hover in place and was a large circular object with dome-shaped
center roughly the size of a car or van. "This is where it gets weird,"
he said. "Coming out from the dome are little legs that curve down
like triangles or something, and it rotates." He described the object
as having no smoke and no lights. Thanks to Kenny Young ufo@FUSE.NET .

- DUNDEE - CORRECTION -- The Flying Triangle sighting report
carried in July 21, Filer's Files #30, took place on July 15, 2000, rather
than 2001 at Benson's Hideaway. A new sighting took place on July 21,
2001, about 9:40 PM when a group from Benson's Hideaway Restaurant located
on Long Lake again saw UFOs. Both sightings were observed by a multiple
group of UFO buffs. A light then came from the south end of the lake next
to Dundee Mountain. It was about the size of a quarter held at arm's length.
It looked like it was lower than Dundee Mountain and just a little higher
than the trees. The light was a golden color and had golden lights shooting
out from the edges. As it moved along the Eastern Shore of the lake it
made little jumps almost straight up in the air and then continued on its
original path. The light continued to the north end of the lake where we
were, at this point someone yelled, there's another one. It came north
along the western edge of the lake and it too, shot up almost straight
in the air a couple of times. This one did something different though.
It blew up to a white light, which was much bigger, than the golden light
at least four times. It then dropped two lights like the sparkles that
drop from sparklers. It moved directly across from us, while the first
light it had moved northwest and disappeared.
-
- Bonnie Meyer reports, "I believe that it left the
atmosphere so fast that it only looked as if the light went out."
A third golden light came from the same area and was coming towards us
slowly. When it got about half way down the lake the second one started
to move off and then they stayed about the same distance apart and moved
off. A few minutes latter another light appeared. It came almost the length
of the lake and was either much smaller or it was much higher because it
was smaller. As it got closer to us it turned west and settled almost stationary
in the southwest. It stayed there for a long time. It seemed to become
three separate lights one bluish green, one orange red and the other white.
They seemed to be playing tag, running circles around each other and zigzagging
with each other. Then there was a slight popping sound and two lights
dropped from the underside of the center light. One of the lights took
off in a northwest direction and was out of sight within a minute or two.
The greenish blue light stayed in the area and was still there when I left
at about 12:30 A.M. When I talked to people the next day they said the
light was still there at 2:00 A.M. Thanks to Bonnie Meyer of Lightside

- PRADERA -- El Pais News reports appearance of a strange
luminous object, which suddenly became visible in the skies over Pradera
and disrupted the tranquillity enjoyed by the residents. Precisely at
8:15 p.m. all eyes began looking automatically toward the heavens. There,
a yellow and feeble light descended rapidly, as if seeking shelter in the
mountainside's dense vegetation. Phanor PeÒaloza says, "the
fireball had a strange rotating movement, it took at least 15 seconds to
cross the sky and vanish." Many residents of the Comuneros, La Lorena
and Berlin neighborhoods witnessed the luminous phenomenon, which was allegedly
responsible for two power outages five and ten minutes after the incident
took place. Lieutenant Rodolfo Paredes of the Pradera Fire Brigade, who
also saw the lights, believes that "it was all caused by a lit flare
that someone fired" The firefighter's argument is based on the fact
that the light had a permanent flame as it rose and later descended, something
that happens with so called gunpowder rockets. Thanks to the El Pais News

- NEW ZEALAND POLTERGEISTS AND UFOs
-
- Karen L. wrote to the Skywatch International stating,
"I had a UFO encounter back in 1978, where I was actually missing
for two days. Its a long story but the point here is that upon return
there started a three month period of "extreme" supernatural
activity in the apartment where I was living. There were three other people
living there and we all had to put up with items flying through the house,
things suddenly lifting off and levitating on the dinner table as we were
eating meals, people appearing and walking through walls. The list goes
on and on and this happened everyday, day in day out. I found it all extremely
interesting while my friends found it absolutely terrifying. Needless to
say that after three months they couldn't take it anymore and had to move
out. I decided to move back to New Zealand where the entire thing started
again in my next residence. We got professional help in and without telling
them the details the moment the walked into the house they ca! ! me straight
for me saying it was all centered around me (yep tell me about it). They
couldn't help unfortunately so again I moved and this time it stopped.
It's now over 20 years later and things still go 'bump' around me ;)...
I'm used to it now. Karen
-
- Editor's Note: I have investigated several cases that
also involve Poltergeist activity. Seldom will a witness mention these
occurrences and it usually takes getting to know the witnesses quite well.
Unless people are specifically asked, they are unlikely to volunteer this
information. My experience has been the wilder and more unbelievable stories
are likely to be the most real. Those who investigate cases by visiting
with the witnesses have a wonderful opportunity to obtain the entire story.
Thanks to Karen L. and Skywatch International.

- SCOTLAND STARGAZER CLAIMS TO HAVE PROOF OF UFOs EXISTENCE
-
- DUNDEE -- The Courier News reports, "The best photographs
of a UFO ever taken" have been snapped by a Leven man from outside
his home,î he claims. Andrew Wilson (58) believes he saw the UFO
when he was looking out of his living-room window on August 3, 2001. Mr
Wilson claims it was moving across the sky, "It was a small thing
and it was traveling fast but there was no sound from it." A member
of the RSPB and a keen bird watcher, Mr Wilson owns a book on astronomy
and often watches the night sky, "I like the stars, theyíre
beautiful," he added. It was, perhaps, this hobby that allowed him
to witness another UFO in 1971, "It was right above me. It had a red
dome on it, and a flashing light." Mr. Wilson has two witnesses
who also saw the latest object. Firm in his belief that what he saw was
an UFO, Mr. Wilson has handed the matter over to the authorities. Thanks

- ROSWELL CRASH RESEARCH FINDINGS
-
- Bond Johnson writes, "After more than three years
of eye straining research of comparing the computer enhanced and carefully
dissected Ramey Office Photos (ROP) with the blueprints of RAWIN/MOGUL
and to other weather devices circa 1947 -- and with extensive consultation
of UFO experts from Klass to Rudiak to Friedman ó- The Roswell Photo
Interpretation Team (RPIT) has concluded that there is NOTHING to be seen
in the ROP that can be matched to ANYTHING expected to be found in the
crash of a RAWIN/MOGUL or any other known "weather device." Further,
in spite of frequent and widespread invitations for such, no one -- from
dedicated skeptic to devout believer -- has SUGGESTED that ANY piece of
wreckage to be seen in the ROP has any specific terrestrial genesis.
-
- Also, after more than a half century the US government
has produced NO documented evidence as to the etiology of the Roswell crash
-- even when RPIT and others requested such documents under FOIA. Finally,
after its extensive research -- including discussions by three team members
w Prof. Charles Moore -- RPIT has concluded that there is NO evidence that
ANY known RAWIN/MOGUL launch could account for the strange and well documented
reports connected with the Roswell crash of 1947.

- MARS: NEUROSCIENTIST FINDS LIFE ON MARS IN DECADES-OLD
DATA
-
- SAN DIEGO, July 29, 2001 -University of Southern California
announced Experiments done more than two decades ago on Martian soil collected
by the Viking Landers 1 and 2 provided evidence that life might exist on
Mars, says Joseph Miller, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department
of Cell and Neurobiology at the Keck School of Medicine of the University
of Southern California. Miller recently did a re-analysis of data collected
by the landers, and found that something in the collected soil was apparently
metabolizing nutrients-and doing so with a distinct biological rhythm that,
he says, can only be found in a living cell. Miller presented his findings
at an astrobiology symposium held during the International Society for
Optical Engineering.
-
- In August and September of 1975, the Viking spacecraft
were launched from Cape Canaveral. After traveling for nearly a year, each
was deployed to the planet's surface. Once there, they performed a series
of experiments-including one in which a robotic arm scooped up samples
of soil and deposited them in petri dishes, along with a drop of a nutrient
solution that had been labeled with radioactive carbon. The idea, explains
Miller, was that if there were any living organisms in the sample, they
would take up the carbon-labeled nutrients and process them, eventually
releasing the radioactive carbon in a gas form. A radiation detector was
set up near the covered dish, connected to it by a tube through which any
released gases would travel. There was definite evidence of a gas release.
It seemed Levin and Straat had indeed found life on Mars-but other scientists
felt the release might be better explained as the result of chemical reactions
with highly reactive compounds like uperoxides and peroxides. Unable to
prove that the gas was definitely being released by living organisms, the
NASA scientists let the matter drop.
-
- Based on new discoveries Miller started studying the
old data and after reviewing just 30 percent of the data, Miller was able
to find something remarkable-something, he says, that went unremarked-upon
in the original papers. "The signal itself not only had a circadian
rhythm," declares Miller, "but it had a precise circadian rhythm
of 24.66 hours-which is particularly significant, because it's the length
of a Martian day." The fluctuations in gas emissions seem to be entrained
to a 2 degrees C fluctuation inside the lander, which in turn reflected
not-quite-total shielding from the 50 degrees C. fluctuation in temperature
that occurs daily on the surface of Mars. Temperature-entrained circadian
rhythms, even to a mere 2-degree C fluctuation, have been observed repeatedly
on earth. As for the original concerns of the dubious chemists, who thought
the same sort of signal could simply be coming from highly reactive, non-organic
compounds in the soil, Miller says such a scenario would be almost impossible
to imagine. The circadian rhythms from the Martian soil persisted for nine
straight weeks."
-
- "There is no reason for a purely chemical reaction
to be so strongly synchronized to such a small temperature fluctuation,"
he adds. "We think that in conjunction with the strong indications
from Mars Observer images that show water flowed on the surface in the
recent past. I think back in 1976, the Viking researchers had an excellent
reason to believe they'd discovered life; I'd say it was a good 75 percent
certain. Now, with this discovery, I'd say it's over 90 percent."

- UFOs POLITICS GOD AND SCIENCE
-
- Dr. Robert Trundle has written the new book "UFOs:
POLITICS, GOD AND SCIENCE" (2001, European Press). With commentaries
by Harvard's John E. Mack, MD. as well as NASA's Dr. Richard Haines and
US Air Force Intelligence Maj. George Filer (Ret.), this book makes a novel
defense of alien UFO visitation. After revealing why current science cannot
be used to exclude the visitation and listing the testimonies of well regarded
witnesses, several perplexing questions are raised: Has the academic community
had a role in obstructing truth about the phenomenon of UFOs? Were military
denials of alien UFOs ordered by one of the most admired US Presidents
who, with no one noticing, virtually admitted of the cover-up? Might a
cover-up be actually justified? Do bizarre reports, which rival X-Files,
have a basis in science?
-
- Having received his Ph.D. at the University of Colorado
at Boulder, Robert Trundle is a member of the New York Academy of Sciences
and Scientific Research Society of Sigma Xi. He has written over forty
professional articles and numerous books. This new UFO book can be ordered
by e-mail from the distributor Casalini http://www.casalini.it), The Book
Place (http://www.thebookplace.com), or directly from the European Press.
