- Reported UFO sightings are down, but some were observed
in New York, New Jersey, Georgia, California, England, and Norway. There
are cattle mutilations in Montana, Canadian crop circles, and evidence
of life and tunnels on Mars.

- NEW YORK BOOMERANGS
-
- ST. JOHNSVILLE -- The witness reports that two flashing
objects in the sky appear as if they are "talking" to each other.
At 11:33 PM, on August 24, 2001, my father and I witnessed two objects
in the sky a ways apart, flashing different colors, from red to blue to
white. At first my father believed that they were "quasars" but
one of them moved and reappear a short distance away from the original
spot. When looking at these objects, I could notice that at one point it
appeared they were shaped like a boomerang, and then they would "change"
into a circle. Both my father and I are law enforcement officers. Thanks

- NEW JERSEY CYLINDER UFOs
-
- LONG BEACH ISLAND -- While on vacation this summer Robert
Lamarco noticed a cylinder shaped object just off the Atlantic coast four
times. One sighting was the third week of August, and he saw it twice
on September 19, 2001. The sighting was at about 11:00 AM and again at
2:30 PM. Robert said, "They came in slow from the north, and went
out to the back at my house in Manahawkin. My boy's and I saw it again
on Wednesday. It seemed to be more over the land, and higher in the sky.
It moves so slowly. When it was right overhead we could see that they
had a cylinder shape and the ends were flat. It was a soft white in color
and there was no mistaking it for a plane, or blimp. There were very few
clouds in the sky at the time we saw it." Thanks to Robert Lamarco

- NORTHERN NEW JERSEY -- On September 24, 2001, the witness
could not sleep so around 3:00 AM, she went outside for a smoke it was
very quiet and only the sound of crickets broke the sound. The witness
relates, "I was scanning the skies and noticed a very bright light
traveling east going towards New York that was flying well below the clouds.
Suddenly it stopped and made a quick southerly movement for about two
miles. Then it stopped again, and then traveled very fast to the east
again and then out of sight. There was no sound. This was in no way a
plane or a helicopter, it went off almost like a shot "one minute
it is there the next it was gone" I had no chance to get my binoculars
to view it better. Thanks to Louise SHnSASSY1 para-discuss@yahoogroups.com

- GEORGIA UFO INVESTIGATION
-
- WHITESBURG -- MUFON State Director Tom Sheets and George
Lainhart met with the witness who spotted a UFO in June at his home. The
witness turned over several good sketches of the UFO and reconfirmed his
personal account as being correct. During further inspection of the surrounding
property, the witness pointed out the treetops that were illuminated by
the hovering craft. George had brought along his laser range finder used
in his duties on the SWAT Team. George ascertained that the trees which
were first illuminated were 336 yards away (the witness had estimated 500
yards). The second tree to which the object moved was only 74 yards away.
Using these more exact ranges and a terrain feature of known size, we
later hope to determine a more exact real size for the object. Various
police officials and local clerks in area stores advised they had no knowledge
of similar reports for the first two weeks in June.
-
- On September 10, the witness phoned Tom at 10:00 PM and
indicated the objects may have returned, as he could see bizarre lights
over the distant part of his property. Tom proceeded to Whitesburg, which
took about one hour. They had left the area upon my arrival, and did not
return up through 3:00 AM. Thanks to Tom Sheets State Director.

- LAGRANGE -- Around 7:45 PM, September 21, 2001, John
Thompson saw a "donut" like rope contrail. It had about 7-8
round spaced "donuts" in a portion of the contrail. I had a
throwaway camera with me and took three photos of white contrails several
miles away over the Georgia-Alabama border to the west, going south. It
might have been one of the advanced military aircraft deploying. Thanks

- MONTANA CATTLE MUTILATIONS
-
- WHITEFISH -- Brian Schweitzer, a cattle rancher, who
was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for the US Senate last year,
recently found one of his cows killed. "The brand inspector said
lightning caused the death." Mr. Schweitzer said, "but there
was no lightning that night. And it very much looked like those incisions
were done with instruments." Mr. Taliaferro, a cattleman who has
been ranching for 25 years. "When you see it, I tell you, it makes
a believer out of you that something weird is going on." Eight cow
killings have been reported in Montana since June 12, the most recent on
August 31, 2001, and they all appear similar to 67 cattle mutilations in
the 1970's. Law enforcement officials and veterinarians who investigated
said they had never seen anything like it. In all the cases, part of the
animal's face, called the mask, is removed, along with reproductive organs.
There is usually no blood, and predators will often not touch the carcass.
County sheriff's deputy, says people who dismiss the deaths are not looking
hard enough. No vehicle tracks or footprints have been found around the
animals. "There are smooth edges on those cuts and no bite marks.
The mystery and savagery of the deaths have led the more fanciful to speculate
that the cattle, which can weigh nearly a ton, were killed by a band of
satanic cultists, by UFOs or by secret military testing.

- CALIFORNIA GLOWING LIGHTS
-
- BELLFLOWER -- Kim writes that on September 22, 2001,
my Mom called us outside to look at a strange bright red light in the sky.
My brother and his friend, my boyfriend and our friend all went outside
at about 11:40 PM to discover an extremely bright object bigger than a
star. The glowing light was coming towards us from the east. We watched
it for about ten minutes as it continued to come closer. When it was almost
overhead it suddenly stopped. We continued to watch it for probably about
five more minutes as it just hovered there. We live 20 miles southeast
of Los Angeles and thought it might be a terrorist plane. Suddenly the
hovering red light flashed a couple of times and dropped an object. It
moved closer when it flashed again a few times and dropped another object.
We waited for an explosion of a bomb, but nothing happened. The light
blinked and then flickered away and we saw the (unlit) object fly away
quickly. It moved so slowly, we figured it probably wasn't! a plane.

- CANADA NEW CROP CIRCLES
-
- RED DEER, ALBERTA -- Paul Anderson reports the 'Star
of David' formation is 422 feet in diameter, making this the largest, and
arguably most complex formation yet found in this country. The large circle
in the center is 106 feet, the smaller circles range from 42 to 44 feet.
Connecting pathways are about 3 feet wide. Judy Arndt of CropCircleQuest
and coordinator Gordon Sopczak conducted a ground survey of the formation
yesterday. The formation was found September 16, 2001. The crop is mature
red wheat, which is very dry and brittle. Aerial photos show the geometry
is off in places, although the overall design is impressive, and very large!
The seed heads do not show any obvious damage associated with mechanical
flattening (as in most hoaxes); plant stalks are bent at various heights,
from ground level to about three inches above the ground. No stretched
or ruptured nodes found. Nurses in nearby Lacombe on September 15, 2001,
reported seeing odd triangular configuratio! ns of lights at 3:15 and 5:00
AM. A few nights later, on the at 1:05 AM, other nurses saw a set of lights,
arranged in seven triangles, peach or light orange in color, which changed
to an arrow, then a crescent shaped pattern before disappearing. Thanks

- VANDERHOOF -- On Saturday, September 8, 2001, I drove
three hours to see six new Crop Circles in a field around the small airport.
Mr. Brent Miskuski was flying over the area in his plane and spotted the
Circles from the air. He sent along 3 pictures of the Crop Circles which
I have placed to my site. It was an awesome feeling standing in this field.

- ENGLAND UFO BACK IN THE DALES
-
- DERBYSHIRE -- Matlock Mercury reported how a disc-shaped
object had been captured on video over Bonsall Moor last October, for six
minutes, just hovering quietly in the sky. Some experts have hailed the
footage as "the best UFO video ever" and it has been the subject
of national and international interest. On August 27, 2001, Karen Sismey
looked out from the Thorn Tree Inn to spy a similar object in the same
area. "My husband Phil had been out there at around 10:45 PM when
he saw something hovering in the sky, for a good 15 minutes. " It
was showing very vivid colors with red at the bottom, and then ranging
from emerald and blue colors to a bright lemon yellow." The object
was seen by other visitors to the Thorn Tree. "It was not a helicopter
or an airplane and I know that it shouldn't normally be there." Thanks

- NORWAY UFO
-
- MOSJÿEN -- Gerry Farshores writes that on September
23, 2001, three people ran into the police station in Mosjen, central Norway,
to report seeing an unidentified flying object streak low over the city.
Police say all three are credible, and they're classifying the incident
as a UFO sighting. "We're talking about three sober, credible people
who we have no reason to doubt," said Roar Tgersen of the Helgeland
police district. Three witnesses were sitting in a car when they saw an
unusual object flying low through the nighttime skies. They said it resembled
some sort of helicopter, and that it was flying from the south in a northerly
direction. "We don't know what it was, therefore we're calling it
a UFO," the object rotated around its own axis. The three got out
of the car to get a better look, but quickly dove for cover because they
were afraid the object was about to crash. They said there was no sound
at all from the object, and that they felt threatened. Police in both
Mosjen and Bod took the report seriously and sent out patrols to search
for any wreckage. Nothing was found after several hours of searching.

- SPECIAL REPORT - MARS TUNNEL HABITAT INVESTIGATED By
George Filer
-
- As editor of Filer's Files, I'm not a scientist but,
I obtained extensive intelligence and photo interpretation experience while
serving in the Air Force. Mars has indisputable evidence of vast water
flow that cut canyons, valleys, riverbeds and left shorelines of lakes
and seas. Within many of canyons and valleys are lava tube or strange
tunnel like structures. These apparent tubes may an optical illusion,
but I personally see a rounded 3D effect to the strange, tubes or tunnels
generally located along the bottom of valleys. With the limited equipment
available to me, I feel these structures definitely need further study
and analysis. Astronomers for more than hundred years have been watching
Mars and claimed they saw canal like structures on the Red Planet. M.
Schiaparelli the Director of Observatory at Milan stunned the world in
1877 announcing that Mars had a series of connecting straight lines or
canals. Their visibility was not always the same but, more than sixty!
had been observed that terminate at canal junctions or in dark areas thought
to be seas. Numerous other astronomers such as American Percival Lowell
confirmed the findings with more powerful telescopes and noted that many
of the canals terminated in five and six-point intersections. These were
much more complex than structures formed by nature and Lowell announced
this indicated intelligent deliberate planning on Mars. Water ice does
exist on Mars, but sublimates around -100F (-73C), due to the low atmospheric
pressure of 6.1 mbars.
-
- When our Viking satellites reached Mars, no canals were
found, but it may have been the tunnel like structures that the astronomers
had been observing? We now know that an international team of researchers
has discovered compelling evidence that the magnetite crystals in the Martian
meteorite ALH84001 are of biological origin. The researchers found that
the magnetite crystals embedded in the meteorite are arranged in long chains,
which they say could have been formed only by once-living organisms. Dr.
Serguei M. Pershin Ph.D., a Principal Investigator for the NASA Mars Polar
Lander LIDAR experiment, claims he has discovered organic pigments on Mars
relating to photosynthetic organisms. The organic pigments suggest that
life still exists on Mars. Cyanobacteria that dominate Earth habitats
such as Antarctica quite likely survive on Mars. The red-green pigments
of cyanobacteria are in part due to Chlorophyll for converting solar radiation
into food (photosynthesis). Cyan b! acteria can tolerate the extreme damaging
effect of solar UV-B by synthesizing a variety of protecting pigments,
which either screen or prevent the effects of the radiation.
-
- Based on the assumption there has been life on Mars at
least in the past, I examined the evidence as if I was preparing an intelligence
report on the possible tunnel structures. A large tunnel structure was
imaged by Mars Global Surveyor on August 11, 1999, at 39.12N 27.08 W in
flat terrain. Within the area there are several deep valleys or channels
probably caused by the erosive movement of water in the past. These channels
or canyons appear to be an average of 150 meters deep. They are now dry
but appear to have been formed by water. Strange tunnel like structures
possibly lava tubes appear to have been formed within these channels.
The apparent size of the tunnels is quite large with the width ranging
from 125 meters to 200 meters in diameter. (410 to 656 feet) The tunnel
structures visible above ground are some three kilometers long running
in various directions similar to the astronomer's maps. Most of the tunnels
appear to be buried, but may have been visible in ! the past.
-
- The tubes remind me of large tunnel structures built
for subways or the Chunnel that goes under the English Channel. They could
be natural structures formed by lava flows from extensive ancient volcanic
activity on the planet, particularly in the Northern level plains. Running
perpendicular to the darker tubes are white ribs or striations that appear
to provide the main support. The striations may be a rib like structure
and appear made of different materials than the tube itself and are evenly
placed at an estimated 60 meters or 200 feet. They appear to provide the
main strength to the structure. The ribs bend in a uniform manner around
turns and occasionally appear anchored to the side of the channel to provide
further support for the over all structure. Often, the tunnels overlap
one another and meet perpendicular to each other as described by the astronomers.
One set of tunnels joins and appear to dive further underground, while
others appear excavated. At first th! e striations reminded me of the
sand Sief Dunes in Saudi Arabia, but these are uniform with the prevailing
wind. The tunnels change direction frequently, but the striations remain
perpendicular and constant even with the change in direction. Therefore,
it is doubtful that these are sand dunes that were formed by the prevailing
winds. Windblown sand and dust on the lee side of impact craters clearly
show the prevailing northwesterly winds. The tunnel structures clearly
change direction and disregard the prevailing wind patterns. The tunnels
are not eroded either from the wind or the water flow. The tunnel system
is likely part of the water drainage system. The concept of canals by
the early astronomers may be correct, but the water flow may be diverted
inside the tunnel to avoid evaporation and the extreme cold.
-
- Lava flows often have tunnel like features with open
areas at the center. Heavy water flows may have helped erode the openings
for increased water flow. We can speculate that the lava flows were then
altered for cultural purposes. If intelligent life exists on Mars, it
could have up graded the tunnels for cultural activities. It is even possible
the astronomers observed the tunnels under construction that were later
covered. Water is likely transported at the base of the tunnel and could
carry boat traffic. Higher levels in the tunnel could support high-speed
rail line and a highway. Living quarters and areas for farming could be
situated along the outer edges of the structure. When the Martian atmosphere
thinned and the lakes began to dry up, the inhabitants built these structures
to transfer water, move between underground outposts and create a habitat
for the remaining life. It is likely some atmosphere apparently collects
within the tunnels. Water melting from th! e Ice Caps and underground
could be captured and transported inside the tunnels. Boats or barges
could float on the water. Geysers spurting water indicate more water is
available underground than generally realized.
-
- The underground habitat is probably protected from Cosmic
rays by a combination of the thin atmosphere, soil, and steel ring structures.
Other images from other areas on Mars show hints of similar tunnel like
structures so we can speculate they extend underground for long distances.
One tunnel structure seems to run from the Polar cap south to the Cydonia
City area. There is no apparent evidence of damage to the structures from
meteorite damage, they seem in good repair although there are craters in
the general area. At the largest width of the main tunnel there appears
to be a dome like structure at the top. This dome is likely an observation
post since almost all the tunnel structure can be observed from this point.
Not all civilizations may choose to live above ground. Underground living
provides warmer temperatures, access to underground aquifers, protection
from the elements and potential enemies.
-
- One of the complexes of Mars that most likely represents
the remnants of an ancient civilization is at Cydonia. The Fort, D &
M Pyramid, and the Cliff represent structures that seem unlikely to have
been formed by natural forces. The 'Cliff' at Cydonia is a two-mile long
tapered wedge that is located near the perimeter of a 'splash'-style crater.
Running parallel to the 'Cliff' is another tunnel like structure. Both
objects would have been destroyed and buried under a shock wave of debris
from the meteor impacts, so it is obvious they must have been formed some
time after the meteor impacts. These impacts are relatively recent, therefore,
it is very unlikely they are natural features and represent structures
built by intelligence. There is no geological mechanism that could create
such clearly defined formations, nor could they have emerged from the debris
surrounding the crater impact still intact. Neither the 'Cliff' nor the
tunnel like structure could be part of the ! crater or its ejecta. The
'Cliff' and the companion tunnel are some of the most important anomalies
at Cydonia and strongly hint of a hypothetical Martian Civilization.
-
- The civilization was eventually faced with both a vanishing
water supply and atmosphere. The population then would likely attempt
to preserve their lives by going underground. A tunnel transportation
system would be a logical part this activity. Melting water from the snow
at the poles in the springtime could be transported towards warmer areas.
Underground living provides protection against meteors and radiation and
food can be grown using artificial lights. Large monuments may have been
built to mark the passage of their civilization and a sophisticated society
would have likely ventured out into space. At the end of World War II
a great deal of German manufacturing had gone underground. The Heinkel
firm produced 725 Volkjager HE-160 jet fighters per month using 2000 workers
all underground. When necessary a civilization will go underground.
-
- It is difficult to determine if the tunnels are still
in use, but we may be observing the remains of an ancient civilization.
Infrared photography generally not available to the public indicates numerous
underground heat sources often in straight lines. These could be some
lave flows, that were later modernized to provide a low cost, ready-built
enclosure for habitation and transportation. The tunnels need further
investigation, since they hold the key to understanding Martian history.
