- UFOs HAVE BEEN REPORTED in Maryland, Virginia, Wisconsin,
Montana, Washington, California, the United Kingdom and Indonesia. The
number of UFO reports dropped sharply during the Holidays as they have
done in recent years, but have increased during January 2002.

- MARYLAND FLUORESCENT GREEN BLUE CENTERED EGG
SHAPED OBJECT
-
- BEL AIR -- As we were driving south bound on Tollgate
Road on January 7, 2002, we saw a bright fluorescent green colored glowing
egg shaped object with a faint blue center. It was traveling from northeast
to southwest at 5:49 PM, and seamed to suddenly drop from the sky. It followed
a path that started high and decreased lower in the sky even though when
the object did disappear it was still very high but lower from where it
started. We listened for an explosion like fireworks, but we heard or saw
nothing. We figured it could not have been a meteor because the object
would have been white, red, or yellow and it would have not followed a
curved arc shaped path. The object from our car window was very large and
it was traveling at an extremely fast pace, like a falling star. The object
had a faint blue center surrounded in green. There was no tail. You could
definitely see a blue dot in the center of the object and you could also
notice where the objects edges were. When the o! bject disappeared it was
going very fast and was still very high above the horizon. It disappeared
instantly with no explosion, sound, or change of shape or color.
-
- BALTIMORE -- The witness
noticed a streaking white light similar to a "shooting star"
flying over on January 7, 2002, at 5:55 PM, but it was two or three times
larger. The light suddenly turned into a blue light that was even larger
and then accelerated forward at an incredible rate and was no longer visible.

- VIRGINIA HORIZONTAL MOVING BLUISH GREEN LIGHT
-
- RICHMOND -- The witness was in parking lot at Midlothian
Turnpike at 5:45 PM when he noticed a colored light flying over on January
7, 2002. At first he thought it was a low flying airplane, but it caught
his eye because the color was a beautiful bluish green and very bright.
The witness reports, "I noticed it was moving at a steady rate of
speed and no other lights and no sound. I then noticed how fast it was
moving and yelled at my coworker to look but it passed very quickly horizontally
from west to east at what appeared to be exactly the same altitude. It
didn't look like a shooting star-because it was too low, no tail, and the
light was a steady rate of speed and much too fast & silent for an
aircraft. Thanks to NUFORC www.UFOCENTER.com,

- ILLINOIS CESSNA DISAPPEARS IN THE TRIANGLE
-
- LAKE MICHIGAN -- A small Cessna airplane, with four people
aboard, disappeared over Lake Michigan Sunday," December 9, 2001,
near Wilmette Harbor. "A search for four people, missing since their
small rented airplane apparently plunged into Lake Michigan was suspended
shortly after sundown Monday," December 10, 2001. "The Coast
Guard Group Milwaukee failed to turn up any sign of the missing single-engine
Cessna aircraft that was carrying four people, including three licensed
pilots. the Chicago Tribune for December 11, 2001, "Plane search stops
as hope fades," page 7.) Thanks to Joe Trainor, Editor UFO Roundup
1/7/02 Note: This is the latest in a long series of small aircraft that
have vanished without a trace over Lake Michigan. For more, read "The
Great Lakes Triangle" by Jay Gourley, Fawcett Gold Medal Books, New

- WISCONSIN FLYING OBJECT
-
- WATERFORD, RACINE COUNTY -- UFOWisconsin reports that
the witness who wishes to remain anonymous stated, "I was sitting
out by the farm areas with my son on January 5, 2002, just north of Wind
Lake and just south of Waterford. I was looking at the stars when I saw
something that was square shaped that stopped for about 30 seconds. It
then started moving slowly and disappeared. I would have thought that I
was seeing things, but my son who is 13 years old, pointed it out to me.
Note: We are trying to follow up with this witness. We found it unusual
that the object he saw in the sky was square shaped. Thanks to jenny@ufowisconsin.com,

- MONTANA STRANGE LIGHTS
-
- BILLINGS -- Unusual white lights were spotted hovering
over the West End of Billings Saturday at about 6:00 PM. A woman and her
husband were in their pickup truck when they spotted a lighted half-spherical
object hover about 1,000 feet above 36th Street West. The object had one
flashing light and hovered for about four minutes. "My husband knows
airplanes and he said, `"Those aren't any airplane lights." As
soon as he said that, it took off," she said. "Within two seconds,
we couldn't see it. It was that fast. I don't know what to make of it."
A Billings man who spends most of his evening riding a bicycle in the downtown
area said he spotted the flying object, but thought it was just a very
fast aircraft. Thanks to The Billings Gazette, Copyright (c) and Louise

- MONTANA INVESTIGATION OF A
REPORT OF ANIMAL MUTILATION
-
- DUPUYER -- National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS)
received a call from local law enforcement regarding a six-year old Red
Angus cow found dead at 8:00-9:00 AM on July 27, 2001. The animal was lying
on its right side. The left eye and eyelid were missing, the hide from
the left jaw was missing and parts of the tongue were gone. The vagina
and rectum were also missing. A thorough examination of the area by law
enforcement failed to reveal any tracks, markings or signs of struggle
from the animal. When the hide under the left jaw was cut away, investigators
noticed a greenish-colored tissue mass just under the jaw. The green color
markedly contrasted with the pink color of the surrounding tissue. Because
of the ambient temperature and humidity in the area and to prevent further
decomposition, the head of the animal was severed and immediately frozen.
After the head was thoroughly frozen it was shipped to NIDS in Las Vegas
and stored at -85ºC to prevent further decomposition.
-
- NIDS then consulted with a forensic expert, whose analysis
of the eyes and jaw showed no blood in the tissue, indicating that the
heart had stopped beating upon removal of the tissues. If the animal was
mutilated, the mutilation occurred after death. In addition to the gross
pathology, samples of eye fluid from the animal's right eye and tissue
from the neck area were collected. A comprehensive set of organic extraction
procedures followed by Infrared spectrometry and gas chromatography mass
spectrometry (GCMS) analysis were conducted to determine the molecular
components in the eye fluid and tissues. Preliminary chemical analysis
was also conducted on maggot mass from the animal. A second animal was
obtained from a slaughterhouse and left to decompose for four days as a
sham or control animal. Tissue and eye fluid from the control animal was
subjected to identical extraction and analytical procedures.
-
- A compound called oxindole was found in both tissue and
eye fluid from the mutilated animal but not in the control animal, suggesting
oxindole was not a decomposition product. The clinical and pharmacological
properties of oxindole in animals cause profound sedation, decrease in
blood pressure, decrease in muscular tone and loss of consciousness (Orcutt
et al. (1964) Arch. Int. Pharmacodynam. 152, 121-131). Our failure to find
oxindole in the control animal leads us to the working hypothesis that
oxindole may have been used to sedate the animal prior to its death and
mutilation. Similar analyses of different mutilated animals in the future
will either substantiate or negate this working hypothesis. For example,
the pharmacokinetic data on administration of oxindole to large animals
is scanty as are the data on the extent of rumen-saliva recycling of tryptophan
metabolites. A second hypothesis is that a traumatic event triggered the
swift accumulation of oxindole in the tissues of the mutilated animal but
not in the control animal.
-
- Since the summer of 2001, NIDS has received over eight
reports of animal mutilations from Montana, the majority of which were
too old to seriously investigate. Nevertheless, this number of reports
in a few months constitutes by far the largest report frequency received
in the history of NIDS investigations of the animal mutilation phenomenon.
Therefore, the present case should be seen not as an isolated incident,
but in the context of a wave of mutilation reports in 2001 from Montana.
It should also be noted that during the period 1974-1977, the Great Falls
area of Montana was the focus of an intense wave of animal mutilations.
NIDS is gratified by the increasing spirit of cooperation between our organization
and ranchers, law enforcement officials and veterinarians. Call NIDS at

- WASHINGTON LARGE BLACK FLYING OBJECTS
-
- PORT ANGELES -- My husband was outside on December 29,
2001, watching the sky as he often does, waiting for me to get ready. He
observed a huge black object above him at 4:20 PM seemingly cloaked in
the clouds. It was a calm day, with a partial cloud cover and no wind.
He watched the object(s) for a minute then ran in to yell for me to "come
now PLEASE!" I ran outside and he related to me what he had seen,
since the object was no longer there. He described it as a huge black "wall,"
but it almost seemed to be changing shapes within the cloud. He said it
was at least two football fields in length. We continued to watch the sky
and a minute later, we both observed a solid, black disc shaped object
fall like a leaf from the clouds, about 1/2 mile from where the object
originally was seen by my husband. It seemed to be heading north just above
the treeline, so we didn't see where it went, just that it fell. Then directly
above that, in the clouds again, I saw what appeared to be two large black
objects "dancing" in the clouds. I immediately said "Oh,
look honey, they're hang-gliders!"
-
- However, they were quite large, in fact it could have
been one object, as the clouds were obscuring parts of whatever I was seeing.
They or it continued moving for about 10 seconds, and then completely disappeared
into the cloud cover. This is the first time either of us has witnessed
anything remotely unexplainable in the sky. We are at a complete loss as
to how to explain it. We've thought of kites, hang-gliders, balloons, airplanes,
blimps, stealth bombers, none of it seems to fit. There were no visible
lights on the object(s); it was just big and black. It made no noise. It
was afternoon, with about 1 hour left of good daylight. I am a professional,
working in the health care field here in town. My husband is a stay at
home dad, caring for our 2 year old son. We have been going nuts trying
to figure this out. Thanks to Peter Davenport, NUFORC www.UFOCENTER.com,

- CALIFORNIA FIVE LUMINESCENT OBJECTS
-
- TURLOCK -- On January 7, 2002, five objects were observed
flying in single file by a qualified aerospace observer. The objects were
equally spaced and flying on west trajectory without navigation lights.
The objects were white luminescent and observed for approximately 10 seconds.
The observer was in process of aligning Jupiter with 6.3 mm eyepiece and
looked up from telescope at 9:03 PM and noticed what first appeared to
be meteorites, however, the objects were moving at only 1/2 speed of meteorites
as compared to Leonid shower average. They were first observed at 35 degrees
elevation in the East (plus or minus 5 degrees) and last observed at 30
degrees elevation West (plus or minus 5 degrees). The flying objects did
not deviate trajectory, but remained single file, equally spaced. The objects
had approximately one degree of spacing between them as observed from the
ground. No sound was heard. Jupiter was beginning to blur slightly due
to fog. My hypothesis is that the objects appeared to be in low Earth orbit,
allowing sunlight to be reflected, causing a white luminous appearance.
The objects may have been space debris, but unusual due to the exact same
spacing between them. No classification has been set at this time. The
observer has spent 27 years in the aerospace environment, with full knowledge
of all nonclassified aircraft, and limited classified aircraft including
SR 71 and Air Transport experience with nighttime identification capabilities
for most aircraft.

- ALLBROOK -- On January 6, 2002, the witness was walking
his dog about 9:30 PM, when he heard a military jet approaching from the
southeast. He states, "I saw a light which appeared to be a jet followed
by another fighter jet, then all of a sudden the second fighter hit the
after burner to increase its speed. The jet appeared to be trying to catch
the first object. When the jet finally got close to the first object, it
made a 90 degree turn, and just flew off to the south and was gone in a
blink of a eye. The second fighter turned around and headed back towards
Miramar Base. I have never seen an object change direction so quickly and
have a speed well above anything we have; I would guess it flew at a speed
of 5000 miles per hour. It was out of sight in a less than a tenth of a
second. I just got a glimpse of its tremendous speed out of the corner
of my eye. We rarely have any military fighters fly over. They were probably
flying under 20,000 feet and none have ever kicked in their after burners.

- MEXICAN SIGHTINGS CONTINUE AT POPOCATPÉTL
VOLCANO
-
- Troy Allen called to report he is monitoring the Popocatpétl
Volcano video camera site near Mexico City on an almost daily basis. The
volcano's observation camera is showing many UFOs often in a triangle formation
as recently as January 8, 2002. Over a hundred Dark colored UFOs images
have been seen in recent months. UFO s have had an interest in the volcano
since its December 21, 1994, eruption, ending decades of slumber. UFOs
that are small elliptical colored lights that change color from green,
to blue, to pink, to purple. They are more or less stationary and a larger
roundish or flattened white light moves from snapshot to snapshot. There
are often more than one dark colored objects observed moving around the
area. They will often move from the distance forward and then retreat.
Due to the possibility of explosive eruptions, people are warned not to
approach the volcano to closer than 12 kilometers from the crater. However,
the road between Santiago Xalitzintla and San P! edro Nexapa, including
Paso de Cortés, is open for controlled circulation. Photos at: http://looknowings.homestead.com/camview.html

- UNITED KINGDOM UFO FILES RELEASED
-
- A UFO cover-up has been revealed by Stephen Biscoe at
the height of the Cold War. UFO fever was so rampant in the UK that the
Ministry of Defence set up a secret working party to try to establish if
Earth really was under observation by visiting aliens. It involved experts
from the Directorate of Scientific Intelligence and the Joint Technical
Intelligence Committee, and eventually they produced a report. Then the
MoD spent the next 49 years denying it ever existed. Yesterday, the Public
Record Office (PRO) made the papers public, but only after their existence
had been admitted to a local government Press officer working in South
Yorkshire. Had it not been for Dr. David Clarke, who lives in Sheffield
and works for Rotherham Council, it is unlikely that they would have come
to light. Clarke combines his local government job with an academic career,
which has made him one of the country's leading folklore experts. A researcher
at the National Centre for English Cultural Tradition at Sheffield University,
he is the author of several books on a range of folkloric traditions from
stone heads and ghosts to UFO sightings and Close Encounters. His latest
book "Out of the Shadows," to be published in May by Piatkus,
draws on the two years of research he has been carrying out for a post-doctoral
study. In the course of it, he came across references in official government
documents to the report of the secret working party set up on Churchill's
orders in 1950 to investigate reports of UFO sightings. In 1980, the 30-year
rule ended its term of confidentiality -- but the rule was ignored and
it remained secret. Clarke says, in fact, that he was repeatedly told by
the MoD that no such report existed; it even denied the existence of the
working party. Yet the Sheffield researcher was still coming across references
to both.

- OXFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND -- On Thursday, December 27, 2001,
Sarah H. reports, "I was driving away from Wytham village, on a two-lane
country road "towards Botley Interchange, the road running parallel
to Motorway A34 at 8:45 PM." "The UFO hovered west of the road,
remaining in one position," Sarah reported, "The UFO was triangular
in shape with one light at each point (corner). It was hovering above Withal
Wood and was silent. It hovered for approximately four minutes, no higher
than 200 feet above the trees. Its fuselage was dark." Sarah added,
"I have no pictorial evidence" of the encounter, and she feels
a bit "nervous about being considered a loony." Thanks to UFO

- IPSWICH, ENGLAND -- Nick Richards of The Ipswich Star,
Suffolk reports that, "An Ipswich household was treated to an extra
special sight on Christmas Day when they saw what appeared to be an unidentified
flying object. The family, who asked not to be named, saw the strange flashing
object from their house in Valley Road, just 24 hours after Santa would
have been in the middle of his Christmas deliveries. The mother of the
family told the Star that the strange sight occurred just before the early
hours of Boxing Day. "At about midnight my husband noticed a very
bright light. He called me to look at it and I saw what seemed to be a
large star. The strange thing was that our room was illuminated by the
very strong light, which it emitted. "I would normally have likened
it to moonlight, but there was no moon to be seen. My husband continued
to watch it as I fell asleep. He called me a few minutes later to tell
me that it was flashing and emitting a blue hue around its base. He also
saw two diagonal protrusions from either side towards the bottom."
The object, which was oval in shape, was smaller than the moon but bigger
than a star and was viewed from Valley Road towards the Portman Road area.
The family said that they knew it wasn't an airplane, a helicopter or even
Christmas lights. They said that if was a star it would have been there
the following night, but it left the Ipswich skyline after performing its
ten-minute light show. 12/29/01 The Ipswich Star Thanks to FarShores UFO

- UFO SIGHTINGS DOUBLE IN MALAYSIA
-
- Sightings of UFOs in Malaysia have doubled in the past
year and one man claims he was abducted for eleven days after meeting a
square-headed alien. The Centre for Malaysian UFO Studies says six sightings
were reported last year as opposed to three in 2000. Ufologist Ahmad Jamaludin,
from the centre, says three of the sightings were reported in Sabah, two
in Kedah and the other in Penang. Of the abduction in February, he told
The Star: "This could be the first reported UFO abduction in Malaysia.
Although the eleven-day period was a little odd, as most UFO abduction
victims usually go missing for two to three hours or up to five days only.
"The fact that there were some UFO activities around Kota Kinabalu
at that time could lend some credence to the claim." Ahmad, who has
studied UFOs since 1978, says his research on the phenomenon shows there
is a link between the UFO sightings and Earth's seismic activity. "Gravitational
forces emitted by objects in space cause the Earth's fault lines to shake,
causing earthquakes and, at the same time, act as a guide for UFOs to reach
Earth," he said. Story filed: January 7, 2002, Thanks to lornis1@juno.com

- ARE THESE UFOs OURS?
-
- Has it ever dawned on anyone that some of the stuff flying
around is ours? T.Townsend Brown duplicated one of these propulsion systems
in the late 50s it was classified and government contractors have been
working on it ever since. Brown was swept under the rug as far as recognition
goes. Scientists in his corner have written papers about it. The rest feel
they might sully their image. Its been kept under wraps for a long time.
Its like the mentality that Egyptians didn't build the pyramids themselves
because humans are stupid. Read what Janes publications says about the

- SIGNS OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE
-
- Leonard David, Senior Space Writer reports, Looking for
life elsewhere is a tough task for human or robot. The good news is that
the scientific skill and tools to search for, detect, and inspect extraterrestrial
life are advancing rapidly. A revolution in the field of microbiology is
afoot, along with extraordinary progress in understanding the "geobiological"
history of Earth. And then there's growing amazement about life on this
planet and how it can survive and thrive even in the most extreme and bizarre
of environments. For example, within the last ten years, more than 1,500
new species of microorganisms have been discovered and genetically sequenced.
In a just issued report, "Signs of Life," a multidisciplinary
group of scientists grappled with techniques and technologies to detect
evidence for extraterrestrial life -- either on the spot on other worlds,
or within prime pickings hauled back to Earth by robotic spacecraft. Spurred
largely by an April 2000 workshop Nation! al Research Council (NRC) Committee
on the Origins and Evolution of Life many attendees are developing techniques
to detect life, and modeling the environments in which such techniques
might be used on other planets. http://www.space.com/searchforlife/lifesigns_spots_020103.html
-
- Editors Note: Some scientists now believe that the 1976
landings of two Viking Landers actually found the presence of life on Mars,
but the positive results were wrongly interpreted. The technological ability
to spot life on celestial bodies has made impressive strides and don't
be surprised that new announcements may be forth coming. The December 5
to 17, 2001, STS-108 NASA Shuttle flight encountered UFOs during its mission.
The shuttle video according to Jeff Challender shows the sunset in space
and the tail of the shuttle disappears going into the evening terminator.
However, an unidentified flying object is pulsating slowly in the distance.
The object is further out in space still in the sun light above the earth.
The object is clearly blinking its lights.

- "IT'S MADNESS TO BELIEVE THAT MAN IS
ALONE":
-
- Vatican Astronomer -- Jesuit George Coyne, director of
the Vatican Observatory, is convinced of the existence of extraterrestrial
life and states that it is "madness" to think than humans are
alone in the universe. Father Coyne and his scientific team reached this
conclusion after studying the heavens from the astrophysical research center
located at Castelgandolfo near Rome.
-
- "The universe is so vast that it would be madness
to think that we're an exception," said Coyne in an interview with
the Milan newspaper "Corriere della Sera", underlining that "each
day new data is amassed" which leads to the possibility of life forms
different from those found on Earth. "The more we study the stars,
the more aware we become of our own ignorance," he adds. The Jesuit
priest, responsible since 1978 for an observatory with more than a century
of history behind it and reporting directly to the Holy See, states that
"Science does not undermine faith; rather, it stimulates it."
He admits not having any proof of extraterrestrial life. He insists that
there is not necessarily any conflict between the Biblical origin of the
Cosmos and the current ones being championed by science, such as the Big
Bang. Thanks to Translation (C) 2001. Scott Corrales, Institute of Hispanic
