- The SECRET KGB UFO FILES will be shown
on US television Sunday, September 13, 1998, at 8:00 PM (et/pt). This
is an extraordinary TNT special featuring never before seen footage of
actual gun camera film of Soviet fighter aircraft chasing UFOs. It shows
Soviet aircraft apparently shot down by UFOs. A crashed saucer and an alien
autopsy. Although I personally was not able to authenticate the film,
some of it is the best I have ever seen. The film is narrated by Roger
Moore who is best known for his James Bond roles. The KGB agents information
correlates well with our own intelligence data. First time interviews
with experts who have seen the documentation and know the truth. You will
see what the Soviet's were really hiding behind the Iron Curtain.

- CHATSWORTH: On August 22, 1998, State
Director Tom Sheets, ASD Mark Ausmus accompanied by Barbara Sheets and
Amy Seville traveled to investigate UFO activity reported in the area of
the mountains and valley surrounding Chatsworth. The witness indicated
that on August 8, about 9:30 PM he was relaxing on his patio deck facing
north, which is at 3,200 feet altitude. There was a cloud cover, but no
precipitation. As he sat there, he noticed a glowing yellowish orb descend
below the cloud cover in the northeast, 1/2 to 1 mile from his home, and
over the adjacent mountain terrain. The orb seemed to have a glowing halo
around it with a black space in the center. It hovered for a short period,
no more than 10 seconds, then vanished completely. He indicated that the
apparent size was that of a basketball held at arms length. He added, he
had made past observations of anomalous lights and objects in the wilderness.
An additional objective of this visit was to survey the surrounding valley
and ridge lines as a lot of activity seemed to originate there.

- COHUTTA WILDERNESS: This area to the
NE is part of the Chattahoochee National Forest which is closed to all
vehicular traffic and only backpackers, hikers, and horse traffic allowed.
This area is crisscrossed by hiking trails that cover some of the steepest
and most rugged terrain in Georgia. It includes the Jacks River and Conasauga
River basins. This 200,000 acres of terrain is classified as an official
wilderness area. This Field Investigator (FI) has packed into the area
for camping on numerous occasions and can attest to its remoteness for
an arm of the Blue Ridge Mountains. These four FI's, along with David
and Michelle Sheets, set up a surveillance beginning about 9:00 PM. Within
a short time, a bright glowing object, brighter than a star, appeared above
the ridgelines to the NE and descended quickly into the mountainous terrain,
disappearing from sight. It was observed to be about 5 to 10 degrees above
the ridges, and was more intense than Jupiter's magnitude. Mark Ausmus
indicated it looked yellowish/white, and displayed a slight 'wiggle' as
it descended out of sight. David Sheets indicated he observed some reddish
tint to the light. Event duration was about one to two seconds. The weather
was clear and mild, CAVU, slight haze toward the far mountains, calm to
light breeze. While not as spectacular as some events reported in this
area, it seems to support the statements of the witness and other individuals
in Murray County concerning anomalous lights in the night sky. Thanks
to Walter Sheets.

- I want to share the sighting I had here
in June at 11:30 PM, when I saw a small black object spinning counterclockwise
between the houses across the street. It spun a few seconds, then it rose
up in the air and disappeared. Then, suddenly a large oval shaped object
moved into view. It was bright like a full moon but oval in shape. It
moved slowly, then a similarly shaped black one moved over it so that you
could see half the oval disc and make out half of the black. Then, as
they moved together overhead, the light disc and the dark one separated
and came together a couple more times before they disappeared at high speed.
During this time, I was frozen on my driveway. I had no control over
my body- I couldn't run or yell out. When it disappeared over the house,
I ran in and dragged my Mom out to see. I spent the night outside until
the wee hours hoping it would return. Right after that, my dishwasher
became very hot inside even though we had not run it. Two days later,
my son and I woke up with strange stains on our feet and on our pajamas.
I will never forget that beautiful sight that night. MUFON investigators
came to my house and investigated my sighting. It felt good to be able
to tell someone about it right after it happened. The local police referred
me to them saying, that they take UFO reports seriously! How refreshing!
I also called the Air Force to ask if they had any sightings. They said
no, and asked why. I said I saw something I can't explain. The man I talked
to said they are not allowed to take any UFO reports. I said OK and just
as I was about to hang up he said "but I am very interested in what
you saw." This was the third time I have seen UFOs. The first two
happened in Hawaii when 20 of us saw a huge triangular ship fly right over
our heads. The Air Force told us it was a weather balloon. Oh well. Thanks

- SAGINAW: Jeff Westover of Mt. Pleasant
witnessed Black Apache-style Helicopter and UFO sightings Thursday, August
20, 1998, at 5:50 PM EST, while I was traveling south on I-75 Jeff watched
a huge 75 feet wide reflective silver orb quickly descend out of the sky
from the east to the west in a stairstep-type descent. This descent was
far too fast for a helicopter. It came down over the Zilwaukee Bridge
over the Saginaw River and descended behind some trees. An odd long thin
horizontal pole or boom, as long as the orb's width, seemed to project
from the orb's trailing edge, giving it a helicopter-type appearance.
Thanks to Jeffrey S. Westover.

- MICHIGANTOWN: Kenny Young writes that
The National UFO Reporting Center, received a report from a man who advised
of a sighting in Clinton County. Two witnesses observed a "circle
of yellow lights descend vertically, then rotate, tilt upward, and disappear
back up into the sky." The witness is an instructor of electronics,
said he was driving north at 10:15 p.m., on Highway 29 on Monday, August
24, 1998. He and his nephew spotted an UFO low over the roadway near their
car. "We watched these lights drop out of the sky at 25 to 30 yards
distant, it was 'powerline' high. "It resembled the bottom of a helicopter
with two rows on the bottom of the base, but it rotated and looked like
a solid line of lights." It rotated 90 degrees and tilted vertically
and then it went up and disappeared." The nephew said, the object
appeared to him to be of a circular shape. He also thought the yellow
lights had a blue tint." The object was first seen low to the ground
near the roadway. It then looked as if it was starting to 'go up' and
in the split second that he leaned forward to watch the object, it rapidly
ascended and disappeared. He drove on for a short distance and then stopped
his car in attempt to see the object again. The duration of the event
was around 5 or 6 seconds, and no sound was heard. There had been a severe
storm earlier in the evening, at the time of the sighting the sky was clear
and many stars were visible. The temperature was about 60 degrees. The
Frankfort Police Department and the Clinton County Sheriff's Office (765-654-5563)
were contacted but they had no UFO reports. Michigantown is about 42 miles
north of Indianapolis, Indiana. Thanks to Kenny Young -- public relations

- RIPLEY: On Thursday, August 20, 1998,
at 10 p.m., the Bowman family were working late outside and talking with
some neighbors when, all of a sudden, a strange light appeared in the sky."
'I saw two lights in the sky, quite a way apart,' said Patrick Bowman.
'They went out and moved over behind the trees, no more than a second
or two. They went on again, then dropped again to the right behind another
tree. When they were back on, they were three- dimensional, like a three-winged
craft with lights at the bottom. The lights went on in sequence, then
they went back off in sequence, then they shot up through the top wing.
That's all I saw. It wasn't anything from here. It made me nervous.'
Ripley residents saw the UFO "just after ten o'clock." The
object was also sighted in Rushville, Pittsford and Mount Sterling. "An
Illinois State Trooper, who did not wish to be identified, also saw the
strange lights west of Mount Sterling. He declined to comment other than
to say he saw them," Ripely is on Highway 24 approximately 246 miles
southwest of Chicago.

- CHAMPAIGN: A UFO was sighted 45 minutes
earlier by a woman in Champaign, (population 63,502), a city 137 miles
south of Chicago. Mrs. J.C. reported, "I had left my house around
9:15 PM, Thursday. My daughter lives only three blocks from me and called
on the phone and told me to look at the light in the sky." Mrs. C.
did so and saw a strange white light in the direction of Ripley. Thanks

- FORT WORTH: On August 24, 1998, Texas
Ufologist Mike Harman reports "I had just gone to the break room at
1:25 PM, on the second floor when I spotted a daylight disk or diamond-shaped
object. I was looking west out the office window. The object was very
dark and moving very fast. It swayed back and forth rapidly gained speed
and then slowed. "The object looked like a diamond or disk and was
small, one-quarter the size of a pencil's diameter at arm's length. It
was just under a thunder cloud, and as I watched for about three minutes,
it moved into another area of the sky that was full of white fluffy clouds.
It made some turns as I watched. It would turn in one direction and then
turn back in, as if correcting and aligning with its original direction.
I observed it until I was no longer able to see or make it out in the sky."

- Beaverton: On August 28, 1998, at 12:03
AM, my friend and I were laying on my trampoline when we witnessed the
most shocking thing of our lives. I was looking up at the sky, there were
light clouds out but we could still see the stars, when I noticed a moderate
orange/yellow light coming through the trees. I quickly told my friend
to look and we watched the rectangular object flying 600 feet from the
ground. It looked like a glowing animal of some sort, like a large bat
flapping it's wings but it was just in a moderate flash, it had to have
been going about 550 M.P.H. We watched the object fly almost directly above
us until when it was in the distance it stopped, made three circles, and
then disappeared. We thought it had left until we saw it shoot across
the sky at about 2000 M.P.H. We weren't sure if we would see it again but
we were so scared we did not do anything. Then all of a sudden it shot
back towards us going 3 times faster and crossed the whole sky in a split
second and then was gone. We haven't seen it since but we will keep you
updated about any other encounters. Please believe us because nobody else
will. Thanks to Jason A. Cole and Matthew V. Stone, jaydamac@yahoo.com

- ONTARIO: Robert Mussell reports "I
saw an odd thing in the northern sky on August 26. 1998, and I'd thought
I might ask for some opinion here? Around 11:30 while walking along a
beach about a mile north west of Buffalo, NY, I saw an odd mass of light
in the sky. The moon was not up, and there were no clouds in the sky.
To describe what I saw. While walking along the beach, which ran east
to west, I saw a strange "pulsing" to the north. At first I
dismissed the phenomenon as someone shining lights in the sky. However,
after several minutes, as the lights grew to cover a quarter of the sky,
I was forced to abandon this explanation. The "Lights," were
in two sections. To the West was a "ribbed region," that was
motionless. The larger section, appeared to move like a wave. "Ripples"
seemed to pulse across the northern sky. After several minutes, the lights
had moved southward, until it was overhead. These "ripples"
seemed to move with constant frequency and brightness from the South.
Over several minutes, the lights faded, a residual arc was left denoting
the farthest southern approach of the lights. Then the lights retreated
back below the northern horizon. Was this the Aurora Borealis?"
Editors Note: Recent solar storms likely excited the Aurora Borealis.

- TELFORD, ENGLAND: I had another sighting
at 11:40 PM last night, September 1, 1998. I was just closing my window
to go to bed when I saw something flying in my direction. It silently
glided along the same flight path and height about 800 meters as my sighting
of two diamonds in October of last year. The shape was like a squashed
pyramid but more like just the top half of a diamond. At arm's length
it was about 1 1/2 inches wide by about 1/2 inch high. There was a red
light on the left of the object and a green one on the right. Between
these was a white strobe light. The white strobe light lit the underside
of the object going across from the red to the green light. I went to
bed and about five minutes later Thanks to: Adam at adam@adl.enta.net (Adam)

- FIREFLY STEALTH AIRCRAFT
-
- Aerospace Writer Bill Rose responds to
last week's article on the alleged triangular NATO aircraft. May I add
a few comments to the recent report on Firefly. Firefly (proper name
Lampyridae) is a stealth interdictor aircraft, semi-secretly built by Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Bohm,
(MBB) now Daimler Benz Aerospace in Germany. Designed by DR Gehard Lobert,
this fighter sized aircraft is essentially a second generation F-117A.
Two demonstrators were flown at the Overberg Test Range in South Africa
during the late 1980s, but the project was placed on the back burner and
has probably been canceled. The British HALO (High Agility, Low Observability)
program is definitely not a smokescreen for any program called Firefly,
because HALO is itself highly secret. The exact nature of HALO remains
classified, but BAe (British Aerospace) and the MoD (Ministry of Defence)
have acknowledged that small demonstrators are being test flown. HALO
is believed to involve an ongoing series of UCAV (Uninhabited combat Air
Vehicle studies, although HALO may include manned prototypes based on US
designs like the canceled A-12A Avenger 11. Reports indicate the existence
of several large experimental LTA (Lighter Than Air) craft that operate
within UK airspace, although there is nothing which shows a link to BAe.
These airborne vehicles are considered to be experimental platforms for
new sensor technology or exotic bi-static radar systems. Pinning down
a suitable base for trials of these craft is difficult, but a strong possibility
is RAF West Freugh, a highly secret facility in Western Scotland. The
suggestion that these platforms are equipped with sonic and psychotronic
devices cannot be anything more than speculation. Non-lethal weapon programs
have received substantial black budget funding in many industrialized countries,
although little technical information on these projects has become public
knowledge. NATO pilots fly each other's aircraft on a fairly regular basis
(including recent Russian jets) and these programs sometimes stretch into
the black domain. RAF and Luftwaffe pilots flew the F-117A before it was
declassified. However, there is no evidence NATO teams are operating secret
stealth triangles with exact measurements of 184 feet from tip to tip.
