- Lord Hill-Norton the former Head of the
Ministry of Defense in the UK, and the only living five-star admiral in
the world, met with Dr. Steven Greer. Lord Hill Norton told Dr. Greer.
'I know now that these UFOs are real, that there are extraterrestrial
life forms, but I never knew it as a member of the British Government or
as a member of the admiralty.' I looked at him and said: 'This is strange.'
He said: 'I assure you that this subject never ever crossed my radar screen.'

- SMITHTOWN: Larry Clark received a report
from Nick L. who observed a low flying helicopter heading north above the
Long Island Expressway near exit 70 on October 6, 1998. Looking further
to the north he sighted a UFO at 5:15 PM. It was a strange circular object
located near the Brookhaven National Laboratories. The object seemed suspended
and appeared to just hover without any motion. The report forwarded to
Sal for investigation. Thanks to Larry Clark at lclark@ibm.net.

Monday evening October 5, 1998, was a fun night for UFOs. Ryan and Mike
saw a strange light that moved west to east at 11:15 PM. It repeatedly
faded in and out of sight when cars passed by on the road near the reservoir.
At 11:20 PM we saw a light sit just over a hill for three minutes. Later
we saw five or more lights at one time in the sky. We only stayed for
thirty minutes, but saw plenty of unexplained lights. Thanks to: Mike

- CORRY: 'I was traveling back to college
this past weekend, Sunday, October 4, 1998, with two friends.' We were
on Route 77 near the town of Spartansburg at about 7:45 PM, when we saw
on the horizon an object with a few blinking red lights that did not look
like a plane. As it got closer, we grew more curious, and we pulled off
the road, only to watch it suddenly speed up and disappear over a hilltop.
Ten minutes later further down the road, we encountered the same craft.
It was approaching fast so we pulled off the road again to watch. The
object slowed down and actually hovered above us. I could see the actual
underside of this thing. It had a definite triangular shape, faint steady
pale blue lights on the bottom, and red blinking lights on the sides.
The triangular shape was very distinct. My friend Randy stepped out of
the truck to look, while my friend Aubrey and I rolled down the window.
We could hear a whirring sound as the object suddenly picked up speed again
and began moving in the direction from which we had been coming. Other
cars stopped to watch. I have never been much of a believer in UFO stories,
so I am still trying to "come to terms" with this story myself.
The witness can be reached at gator@alleg.edu. Wonder why our military
would possess a huge slow moving triangular craft, fly it over our populated
areas and then deny it exists. But then again, maybe it's not ours. Thanks

- STEPHENSON: Tom Sheets the Georgia State
MUFON Director reports he has been looking into a continuing series of
events in Chatsworth, Georgia. I also received information to possible
UFO activity in Alabama. UFOs were observed hovering and flying over the
TVA plant on September 29 and 30. There is supposed to be at least one
pair of witnesses in the area, but they have not decided to come forward,
and told the source of the event in confidence. The source will talk to
them and describe our confidentiality policy and let me know if they will
talk. The UFO was oval shaped, with two 'humps' and close to the ground.
One of the Chatsworth events was witnessed by myself and the Assistant
State Director during a stakeout we conducted there a few weeks ago. These
reports are in the process of being submitted in the next week. I received
additional info from Terry Kimbrell that he was aware of cases continuing
into the North Carolina Mountain area just above the Georgia line. All
of this country is sparsely populated highland terrain. We are speculating
on a 'Blue Ridge Corridor' as suggested by Terry. Thanks to Tom Sheets-State
Director-MUFONGA Editors Note: We frequently learn of sightings second
or third hand by asking questions. It often takes weeks to determine if
the sighting actually occurred and the witnesses are reliable. I often
wonder if we should be called detectives rather than investigators.

- LAKEWOOD: MUFON investigator, Mary Margaret
Zimmer reports a female security guard who recently photographed UFOs saw
a strange alien like entity on July 12, 1998. The entity was standing
on the corner of Dixie Highway and Lucern Road. He had pasty white skin,
reddish blond short hair and black button eyes. His nose was small, his
lips were very thin. His eyes were black in color with almost no white
area. He had neither eye lashes nor other facial nor body hair. His head
was unusually large, while his ears were very small. He moved very slowly
with short little steps. He did not seem entirely human in appearance,
although he wore genes and a T-shirt.
-
- The following evening at 9:30 PM the
entity appeared outside the witnesses' work place twelve miles from the
first sighting. It seemed more than a coincidence that the entity found
the witness at her work place in the gatehouse of an exclusive development.
He walked up and down the street nearby. The security guard asked a resident
to check him out as she drove out of the development. The Security officer
pointed towards him and the lady drove toward the entity who was now 150
feet away. As she drove nearer the entity suddenly disappeared. The next
night at 11:30 PM, the entity again appeared at the gatehouse and asked
in a soft whispering voice, "Can I come and a talk to you?"
She told him, "No, absolutely not!" She then called the police.
Within a few minutes the police with a German Shepard dog arrived in three
patrol cars. They searched the area, but the entity had mysteriously disappeared
again without a trace. Editors Note: The description of the entity is
similar in appearance to the hybrids often described by abductees. Thanks
to Mary Margaret Zimmer, MUFON State Section Director for Miami.

- ORLANDO: There have been a series of
black flying triangle reports over Florida. It should be noted that B-2
aircraft are on temporary duty at Mac Dill Air Force Base in Tampa. This
aircraft can easily be mistaken for UFOs.
-
- During Hurricane Georges some UFO reports
were apparently phoned in to investigators. These tentative reports are
currently under investigation. Jorge Martin in Puerto Rico reported that
many credible witnesses called him and offered videos taken during the
storm. There were similar reports during Hurricane Andrew and from John
Thompson in Georgia of UFOs associated with strong thunderstorms. Editors
Note: These reports may relate to a plasma like phenomena that could be
manufactured by the storm itself. Conversely strong hurricane winds do
not present a particular serious threat to an aircraft moving within the
hurricane.

at 7:45 p.m., while at a church youth group meeting 85 miles southwest
of St. Louis. William B. and his friends took a break and went out into
the parking lot to listen to some music. "Then I looked up and saw
an elliptical unidentified object," Bill reported. "It was very
bright and shiny." Calling his companions' attention to the UFO,
he "told my friends to look at it, and it split into two equal parts.
Many times in the time we watched it appear to move away, only to come
right back in a minute or so. It must have been going very fast because
it was still going fast even at a distance. Jets don't move like that."

- Luis Sanchez Chilean Director Skywatch
International reports that on September 28,. 1998, a ring shape UFO was
seen throughout Chile. The UFO flew from Punta Arenas to La Serena a distance
of over 2000 Kilometers. On Tuesday, the 29th the newspaper "La Tercera"
published the following story: 'Strange Object flew over great part of
the country.' A UFO flew over our skies last night between 9:00 and 10:00
PM, causing much expectation in the people who saw this object. It was
described as a RING of SMOKE. La Direccion de Aeronautica Civil (equivalent
the FAA) said that they did not receive any reports and that airport radars
did not register any strange object in the sky. The CEFAA is investigating
this case. End of the story. On the other hand Chilean Ufologist
like Mr. Patricio Diaz from La Serena, has received dozens of phone calls
reporting this sighting. People all over La Serena saw this big blue,
gas/cloud like, ring shaped object in the sky. It was the size of a full
moon moving North at slow speed. People from nearby Islon and Tierras
Blancas also saw it. They said it was a white cloud like ring. It started
going down and disappeared behind a hill. It looked as the object had
landed, because all kind of bright colors came from behind the nearby hill.
The witnesses wanted to go see what it was but were too frightened. Mr.
Patricio Diaz is on an expedition at this moment towards the possible landing
place. He also provided to CEFAA the TV recordings from numerous witnesses.
The CEFAA is the "Comite de Estudio de Fenomenos Aereos Anomalos"
created last year by order of the Chilean Air Force to study the strange
objects or phenomena (UFO's). Thanks to Luis Sanchez Chilean Director

- CAMBRIDGE: Andrea Southgate-Spark reports
seeing a swirling cloud (almost like a flat twister), containing within
12-16 white solid circles of light on September 18, 1998. There was no
projection of light coming from the flat solid circles of dense whiteness.
This saucer like object followed us in the car for three miles on A425
at 10.50 PM. Even when we changed direction it changed course to follow
us. The object darted from the left to right side of us for another mile
and was only 500 yards above our vehicle. It was completely noiseless,
and when reporting the incident to Cambridge police, they said there was
no or laser shows within the area. I do not believe in UFO's. I am a
mature business women, but this beats logical explanation. Please can you
shed light on this incident? Phone: 01954-718324 at: 13, Taskers Field

- BELURAN DISTRICT: Jonis Juanin writes
that, I work nights as a staff nurse in a government hospital in the state
of Sabah, Malaysia. On October 2, 1998, three of us saw a round bright
orange color light flashing with many small black dotted things at 2:15
AM. The UFO seemed to landing. The distance was about two kilometers
from our place of work and we witnessed it for about 5 minutes until all
its lights turned off. The sky that early morning was dark with no moon
and stars visible. This is the first time in my life I have been a witness

- DISC PLANES - "THE SECRET
OF THE REAL UFOs"
-
- Bill Rose and David Windle have combined
to write an article for the October Focus Magazine. The article starts
out discussing a friend of mine Jack Pickett. The article states: World
War II combat veteran jack Pickett has no time for aliens, but he does
believe in flying saucers. He says he kicked the tires of one at a US
air base in Florida in the late 1960s and that he saw saucers flown at
night at the US Navy's China Lake Complex in California. He's a reliable
source and a unique one: he has reluctantly allowed us to name him. There
are many eye witness accounts like his, but they all refuse to be named
for fear of reprisal. What makes their accounts so hard to believe is
the recurrence of the phrase 'flying saucer.' There's no single explanation
for all UFO sightings, but there is evidence to suggest that man-made craft
are behind the most famous cases."
-
- The article gives a short history of
flying saucers as follows: In 1930, Alexander Lippisch built the Delta
Flying wing. In 1933, Germany's Horton brothers fly the H1 flying wing
glider. In 1940, Rudolf Schriever joins Heinkle to design a disc. In
1941, the small Schriever designed flying disc is tested and Lippisch designs
the AS-6 circular craft. In 1942, Charles Zimmerman designs the V-173
/Flying Pancake for the US Navy. In 1943, the Schriever flying disc tested
in Germany. In 1945, the flight of the Heinkel/BMWV7 flying saucer takes
place. Production begins of the Horton Gotha Go 229 flying wing jet fighter.
As the war ends, Dr. Miethe escapes to the West and Klaus Habermohl is
captured by the Russians. Top German scientists go to work for the US
to continue work on space and secret aviation projects. The US Navy's
advanced XF5U-1 Flying Pancake is under construction. In 1946, The Northrop
XB-35 Flying Wing is completed and programs are under way to build advanced
jet powered Navy Pancakes and high tech saucers based on German designs.
In 1947 Kenneth Arnold sights a formation of unknown flying wings and
the Roswell crash occurs. The Armstrong Whitworth AW52 a British jet powered
flying wing takes to the air at RAF Boscombe Down and photographs of discs
are taken over at McMinnville, Oregon.
-
- Editor's Note: I have spent many years
trying to find evidence for Jack Pickett's claims. I personally believe
Jack, but despite hundreds of phone calls and letters, I have not been
able to prove any part of his story. Jack himself has also been tireless
in attempting to get proof for US discs. He has spent a fortune himself
attempting to track down these craft and was instrumental in obtaining
the release of formerly classified information concerning Silver Bug, a
$55 million dollar project to build a disc. Silver Bug was designed to
have Mach 3.5 speed and a ceiling above 80,000 feet. Bill Rose has written
a book that details these experimental aircraft. We are looking for additional
information about disc aircraft built for the Air Force or Navy. The main
problem is do a few man-made experimental craft explain thousands of UFO
sightings? Thanks to Bill Rose and Focus Magazine October 1998.

- WRIGHT PATTERSON ENGINEER
RESPONDS TO DR. MACCABEE
-
- I just wanted to pass along a brief response
to MUFON's Maryland State Director Bruce Maccabeeís comments in
Filer's Files #39 REGARDING ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY. Response: From my 13
years experience in electronic countermeasures systems analysis as a Wright
Patterson engineer I am well aware of the programs Dr. Maccabee mentions.
As he knows and for the benefit of the general public, there are at least
two types of US Department of Defense security classifications that are
used. One is the usual "white" world vanilla classified security
levels of CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET, and TOP SECRET. Usually there are many
compartments of TOP SECRET that so-called "black" TOP SECRET
Special Access Required (SAR) programs exist and are a fact and characterized
by little accountability to not only Congress, the President, many levels
of DOD, supervisors, and even the person sitting next to the DOD employee
who are "read" into a black program. Billions of dollars are
spent yearly in the "black" world with such minimal accountability.
Just because Dr. Maccabee may not be aware (or cannot confirm or deny
involvement) of research & development in the black world does not
mean that advanced development programs involving exotic technology do
not exist. As far as holography, I personally collaborated with engineers
in the WPAFP USAF Avionics Laboratory in which white world studies were
conducted to determine the feasibility of using holographic false targets
to defeat advanced imaging missiles in the infrared (IR) spectrum. Results
indicated that with a larger than wingtip to wingtip angular separation
(e.g., cooperative multiplatform coordination), IR. holographic false targets
were shown to feasible and demonstrable. One can only imagine what may
go on in black world with other broadband wavelengths for target concealment.

- RED ALERT ON METEOR SHOWERS
-
- National Space and Meteor Hotline reports
that meteor showers are expected over the next several weeks. The RED
ALERT relates to a Leonid Meteor Storm Alert and the strange and relatively
unknown radio emissions from meteors, called Electromagnet effects. These
effects are expected to maximize on November 17, 1998, and could cause
damage to digital chip within the Leonid target zone. Leonid meteor showers
are expected to be heavy this year according to NASA. It is well known
that atomic bombs exploded above 16,000 feet cause an EMP or Electro-magnetic
Pulse that renders electronic equipment within the target range useless.
It is possible that electronic and computer chip circuit could be damaged
by these effects. More info at http://www.eisa.net.au/~ippoz/17nov1998.html
concerning the World Wide Meteor Watch Program. Thanks to Ross Dowe at
