-
- Each day the earth is bombarded by space dust, spores,
meteoroids, interplanetary particles, radiation, fireballs, bolids, meteors,
and meteoroids. Some estimates indicate that most if not all of the water
on Earth came from space. Periodically even large asteroids and comets
find their way to Earth. Fortunately for us when a meteoroid strikes the
Earth's atmosphere, it loses some or all of its mass by ablation, vaporization,
sputtering and fragmentation. The fragmented pieces fall relatively gently
to Earth. Recent studies indicate that bacteria and virus's may be able
to survive this ride through space and through our atmosphere. Science
has come a long way since the 1800s, when the French National Academy of
Science conducted a study and concluded that the entire phenomenon was
an optical illusion. Today about 500 reports a month are received indicating
that Unidentified Flying Objects are in our skies. Most of these reports
are from multiple witnesses and well educated people who use the Internet.
According to Dr. Don Johnson of some 100,000 sightings in the UFOCAT Study
the highest number of reports occur between 2 and 4:00 AM local time.
This indicates UFOs operate when they are least likely to be seen by the
public and appear to move with the various time zones. Additionally, our
satellites are also regularly picking up unidentified objects that appear
to be intelligently controlled.
-
- Professor and Colonel Donald G. Carpenter's book, "Environmental
Space Sciences" taught at the Air Force Academy appears to be correct
when it states. "From available information, the UFO phenomenon may
have been global in nature for almost 50,000 years." The book also
discusses the scientific study of UFOs conducted by the Battelle Memorial
Institute of 2,199 UFO reports. The results of the study show 434 or 19.7%
were unknowns, 240 or 11% had insufficient information, 479 or 22% were
astronomical, 813 or 37% were aircraft or balloons, while 233 or 10.6%
were others. The of 664 'unknowns' and 'insufficient information' sightings
add up to the startling conclusion that 30.6% of the sightings are likely
to be UFOs. That is almost a third of UFO reports cannot be explained
away even by a respected group of scientists and engineers at Battelle.
Colonel Carpenter also writes, "An exciting discovery revealed that
the better the quality of the report, the greater the probability that
the report will be classified as an unknown." These finding agree
with my own observation of Eastern MUFON investigations. I have found that
sightings over an extended period of time by multiple and qualified witnesses
were most likely to be confirmed as UFOs. The reports frequently state
UFOs travel at fantastic speeds with unbelievable maneuverability. Their
characteristics show an advanced technology unlikely to be ours. Although,
these sightings may represent an unknown phenomenon, the evidence seems
to point towards alien visitors.
-
- If we are in fact being visited, the visitors come for
a reason. Carl Sagan often noted one of the primary reasons to visit and
spread life to Earth would be some form of missionary zeal. Many abductees
report a kind of religious awakening after being in contact. Others speculate
the aliens are here to farm for food, obtain water, refuel, and mine our
minerals. Later in these files we discuss some theories of what might
be happening based on the reports of brave people who have come forward
with their stories. Each day you are bombarded with information, I caution
the reader that we are all searching for the truth. I'm just one person
attempting to analyze the data, so keep an open, but skeptical mind. What
frightens me the most is that I receive communications from scientists
who complain about the closed minds of their colleagues. Despite this
there is an awakening taking place in France, Chile and all over the world,
that we are not alone.

- DNA MOLECULES MAY BE FROM SPACE
-
- Francis Crick won the Nobel Prize for helping to discover
'the structure of DNA,' the master molecule of life. He now believes that
the 'origin of life' was from space. He and Leslie Orgel of the Salk Institute
may have also discovered the 'origin of all life' on Earth.' The two scientists
theorize that life came from a distant planet, and was brought here aboard
an ancient space ship or meteorite. Their theory is called "Directed
Panspermia" and it may explain how life arose spontaneously on Earth.
The scientist's point out virtually all-terrestrial life on Earth is based
on a single type of genetic code. If creatures sprang to life in some
great "primeval soup," as many biologists believe, it is surprising
that organisms with many different kinds of genetic codes do not exist.
Crick and Orgel feel that a single code seems to be entirely compatible
with the theory that all life descended from a single instance of 'Directed
Panspermia.' Its likely the building blocks of DNA could have formed in
space providing a starter kit of genetic material for life to evolve rapidly
on Earth.
-
- The Darwinian theory has shown that there is change within
a species, but it has been difficult to find much evidence that the various
species slowly evolved from primitive life forms to eventually become Homo
sapiens. There is obviously also the problem of how inanimate objects
became alive. Crick and Orgel who have studied the building blocks of
life note that the element molybdenum plays a key role in many enzymatic
reactions that are important to life. Molybdenum is a very rare element
on earth and seems unlikely to be part of a system that developed by chance
here on Earth. The human DNA code is amazingly complex and is still being
unraveled with some of the most powerful computers in the world working
for years on the problem. It appears fairly obvious that life is likely
to have developed first on another planet where molybdenum was plentiful.
Molybdenum a lustrous brittle silver white metallic chemical element is
used in alloys and points for spark plugs. The Atomic number is 42 and
its symbol is MO. So even Nobel Prize winners are looking to space for
the spark of life.
-
- FLU VIRUS MAY BE FROM SPACE
-
- New studies indicate that even, the flu virus may come
from outer space. Additionally, the flu virus may have worse in store for
us according to scientists who claim to have discovered an alarming explanation
for the epidemic. Dismissing as dogma the conventional medical wisdom
that flu is a virus passed by human contact, the distinguished astrophysicist
Sir Fred Hoyle, and his colleague at Cardiff University, Chandra Wickramasinghe,
warn that we may be on the brink of a global epidemic. In a report to
be published in the journal "Current Science," they claim the
outbreak was caused by dust deposited high in the atmosphere by passing
comets being forced down to earth by energy generated by cooler patches
on the sun's surface, known as sunspots. They reach the peak of their
activity, the maximum, every 11 years, coinciding, the scientists say,
with all major flu outbreaks since 1761, including the 1918 Spanish flu
epidemic blamed for 20 million deaths worldwide. The latest cycle began
to peak in September and its peak is due sometime this year. Thanks to

- NEW JERSEY DIGITAL PHOTO OF UFO?
-
- JACKSON - Michael Rogalski writes, "Last week's
article about seeing a UFO on digital camera images taken at Great Adventure
theme park may be significant." This could be a meaningful UFO sighting
technique at hand. With the new digital cameras people are starting to
use, there may be magnetic, thermal, or infra red influences in bandwidths
that only video or still camera sensors are able to see. They may show
up when people do not know they've taken a picture of a UFO. It is not
a secret that some of the "night vision" camcorders companies
are simply removing their infrared filter from in front of the standard
solid state image sensors. They have always been sensitive to infra red,
and it had to be filtered out. You can take a camera, remove the filter,
blow out a match in the dark, and still videotape it's thermal signature.
I just thought you'd like to know about this, and add it to you book of
tricks in analyzing sightings. This could change the level of validation
on some of these pictures. NOT seeing it, and taking a picture of it,
could lend credibility to a sighting, especially when subjects do not know
UFO's can be photographed under these conditions. Thanks to: Mike Rogalski

- PENNSYLVANIA RECTANGULAR UFOs
-
- SOUTH PHILADELPHIA - On January 17, 2000, the witness
reports, "I was visiting my mother. It was bitterly cold, 15 degrees
Fahrenheit and very windy." At 6:02 PM, I went out back into her
small yard to have a cigarette. About a minute or two passed when I saw
movement in the sky. It was mostly dark with indirect distant light from
further down the street. The sky was devoid of any clouds and the stars
were visible. I looked up quickly and moved further into the yard to see
better. I saw three rectangular objects moving in tandem. They were not
like anything I ever saw in my entire lifetime. They were moving much
faster than any commercial or military aircraft based on my estimate of
their altitude. They glowed with a subtle consistent amber color. They
were rectangular in shape but with smooth edges. I followed them without
a blink for about 6 seconds before they flew out of view over the rooftop.
When I first saw them they were in tandem, before they went out of view
they were moving out of formation. I was stunned but excited. Thanks

- FLORIDA CYLINDER UFO INVESTIGATION
-
- SOUTH PASEDENA --The witness called MUFON investigator
Lorraine Gerber to report he had observed a cylindrical object on October
15, 1999. The witness was having lunch and relaxing watching birds in
the sky at 1:00 PM. He saw a dark cylinder high in the sky at 70 degrees
above the horizon and only a mile away. He got out of his car and walked
to a clearing for a better view. The cylinder was dark in color and the
bottom looked black with a rim around it. His radio started to make crackling
sounds that seemed related to the sighting. He looked to the north and
saw a second object following the first object. It was a Lenticular shaped
disc that was dark gray in color moving north. As the UFOs disappeared
a Stratus cloud beneath the craft appeared to be sucked up to the altitude
of the UFO. The first object was the size of a pea at arm's length and
it traveled three inches at arm's length. The disc was about the half
the size of the cylinder and moved in an irregular pattern. He yelled
at some painters to look at the objects, but they had not looked in the
right spot. The witness had been sick with a migraine headache and nausea
up until the sighting. Suddenly he felt much better and elated because
of his sighting. The witness was in the military and he knows various
aircraft. Personnel at Mac Dill Air Base were called and claimed they
had no aircraft flying at the time. Thanks to MUFON State Section Director
Elaine Gerber.

- BELCAMP -- While viewing the lunar eclipse I saw a triangle
of 11 small dim lights pass between me and the moon on January 20, 2000.
The formation traveled to the southeast at a high altitude until it passed
from my sight at 11:57 PM. I can say it was higher than the average air
traffic, which I witness on a daily basis.
-
- I was observing the lunar eclipse on 1/20/00 at 11:10
PM. I witnessed a triangular formation of lights in the sky that passed
between the moon and me. There were eleven lights in the formation of
an equilateral triangle. The triangle shaped formation of lights did not
vary in shape at all. The intensity of the light also remained constant,
about that of a dim star, but varied in color from amber to faint red.
They traveled from northwest to southeast over the Belcam. Thanks to

- VIRGINIA DISC HOVERS OVER WITNESSES
-
- RICHMOND -- Thanks for posting our last UFO disc sighting
report in your Filers Files #03. However, the sighting actually occurred
on 2/10/99 not 10/2/99 and was investigated by Richard Lang (ASD), Frank
Mclean (SSD), and myself. I'm sorry for the confusion. Thanks to VA State
Director Ricardo Atristain Russ Vincent writes, "Your article about
the sighting the vicinity of Ft. Lee was most interesting, since I live
a couple miles from there. The old army airfield and deserted dropzone
are not used anymore. The area along the Appomattox River has been a haven
for strange and unusual sightings since I was a child. The deserted quarries
from the 20's, have always had a strange haze around them and might hide
UFOs. Thanks to: RussellVincent@yahoo.com

- HOPEWELL, VIRGINIA CASE INVESTIGATION - David Nelson
saw the car in front of him weave on and off the road and realized the
driver was looking at a V shaped UFO hovering 500 yards ahead of him.
It was hovering a 100 feet above a pond on the south side of Temple Avenue
on November 2, 1993. The bottom of the object was a dull aluminum color
with five circular, fluorescent green lights. The sides were gray-black
and appeared to be about ten feet thick. He estimated its size to be 75
feet from wing tip to wing tip. When he was almost beneath the UFO, it
tilted its sharp nose up at 45 degree angle and shot almost straight up
and was out of sight in a second. It left a puff of dark gray smoke.
The case was reported to the Colonial Heights Police and the Hopewell News.
They covered the original story and a follow up story that brought in
more reports. The police noted there had been a similar sighting a week
earlier. Thanks to investigators Mark Blashak and VA State Director Ricardo
Atristain.

- FLORIDA UFO SIGHTINGS JANUARY 15 and 21
-
- MELROSE - Tonda Nooney writes, "On January 15, 2000,
my husband and I were having dinner on our deck. The night was clear and
my husband noticed, what he thought at first was a plane at 7:00 PM. The
object did not move closer or depart during the next 15 minutes. It hovered
above the pine trees with red, blue, yellow, green and white lights. When
he pointed the UFO out to me, I went inside and got our camcorder. When
I started filming the object I had trouble at first focusing it in. I
had to focus 50x to get the image. On camera, the object appears round
in shape, darting all around in and out of the viewing area. During the
next three minutes of filming, the object changed size five or six or 6
times. The colors that were very clear to the naked eye are like sparkling
diamonds on film. When you looked with the naked eye, the object appeared
to be stationary. I became nervous at one point and decided that I had
enough on film and went inside the house. During the next hour, we observed
the UFO from our dining room window. It moved approximately 200 yards
from the original position above treetop level east of our porch. When
we looked for the last time, the object had departed. The UFO was about
300 feet in diameter, but I'm terrible with measurements. This is the
first time we have seen something this strange this close. Thanks to Tonda
Nooney. Editor's Note: I asked the family to watch each night about the
same time to make and to determine if because sometimes the UFOs will return
to the same area. We also wanted to make sure they were not observing
a celestial object such as Venus.
-
- Tonda wrote again, "We have been watching every
night since the 15th and nothing appeared until January 21, 2000. The
same object returned again around 7:00 PM,. This time there were two more
objects just like it, but these seemed smaller and further to the east.
I also have these UFOs on film, along with the original object including
a shot of the full Moon for size comparison. Thanks to Tonda Nooney.
Bland Pugh the Florida State Director indicates MUFON is investigating
the sightings.

- ALABAMA
-
- JASPER -- I just read a small article on the sightings
web page where you reported a bright object streak across the sky from
south to north in Alabama on January 7, 2000. I just wanted to let you
know that my husband and I saw it too near Jasper. It was a very bright
object moving fast sort of like a meteor. But we both thought it looked
strange and we were pretty excited about it. I'm glad we weren't the only
ones to see it. :) Thanks to Jenny Butterworth.

- ARGENTINA UFO SPAWNS A TORNADO
-
- PUERTO BELGRANO NAVY BASE - On January 18, 2000, a retired
sailor Marcos Herminio Faini saw a shiny object at an estimated altitude
of 2,000 meters (6,600 feet) and simultaneously the presence of a powerful
whirlwind on the ground surface below." The weather station Commandante
at Espora Air Base stated that atmospheric conditions at the time were
not conducive to the formation of tornados. The sailor said, "I can
tell you that after spending half my life at sea, I have seen something
very special which I believe to be of scientific value." Faini took
a bus 12:45 PM from Mitre, and was startled by a whirlwind on the ground
above he the future Fleet Junior Officers School now being built. "The
whirlwind was concentric and wasn't moving." Completely out of the
ordinary." He stated, "When I visually tried to locate the column
of dust, I noticed a glowing object stationary in the southeast."
I showed it to the sergeant in charge of the base hospital's military
command." "'It's a flying saucer,"' he replied laconically,
and the other passengers stared at it, as well. More curiosity seekers
joined the group. The object showed some slight movement, always in the
same direction." (See the La Nueva Provincia newspaper 1/19/00),

- ROBED HOODED ALIENS
-
- Jolene Rae Harrington writes that in Filer's Files #3,
"Your advice to potential abductees to be on the lookout for evidence
is a good warning." However, as Derrel Sims frequently notes in his
lectures there appears to be subconscious suggestions made to abductees
to eradicate any such evidence. For example, one abductee recently wrote
to me reporting an event saying, "For some reason, I felt compelled
to get up and brush my teeth and shower," this in the wee hours of
the morning. One action those suspecting they have had an abduction can
take even days afterwards is to check for fluorescent traces with the use
of a black light. Hopefully by then the urge to destroy evidence will
have dimmed. This technique, discovered by Derrel Sims and still under
investigation, can reveal traces on clothing, bedding, carpets, windows,
and especially on the human body that defy attempts at removal. However,
I would take issue with the recommendation to turn evidence over to law
enforcement officials. Artifacts in the hands of officials have a way
of mysteriously 'disappearing.' On the other hand, a researcher knows
how to get physical evidence to reputable, open-minded scientists for further
study. Any one who feels they may have such evidence and/or who needs help
dealing with their experiences can contact Derrel Sims and his Saber Enterprises/at:
dwsims@neosoft.com. Thanks to Jolene Rae Harrington: jrae@earthlink.net
.
-
- Editors' Note: I thought MUFON investigator Evelyn Gaulson
may have discovered the black light technique first, but I won't quibble
about dates. The aliens may be using some kind of a dusting spray on abductees
bodies to protect themselves or others. There is some concern that their
medical techniques may not be sterile.

- HOODED ROBED BEINGS
-
- Joseph A. Marmo writes, "I had some strange experiences
in the middle of the night in 1993. I saw three short hooded midget sized
characters in my bedroom. The room would be filled with a strange glow
that I can only describe as an infrared looking light. I had some very
frightening night time experiences at this time as well. I would hear
what sounded like many voices moaning and screaming. "I thought I
was in hell." Once I remember saying an "Our Father" (I'm
Catholic) because these voices sounded like pure evil. While I said it
one of the voices mimicked the prayer in a strange mocking tone. My room
mate at the time would see a helicopter flying very low near our apartment
the day after these occurrences. I cannot come to any conclusions as to
what was going on, but it was extremely frightening and very bizarre.
I am a rational person but I have no explanations. Thanks to: Joseph A.

- UFOs ARE BIBLICAL
-
- D. Alan Eastwood writes, "Among the various approaches
to investigating the UFO phenomenon, the Biblical approach is productive
for those who accept its historical aspect as accurate." I too have
studied the Bible apart from the dogma/doctrines of religious organizations
and have found it to have great value in making sense of modern-day UFO-related
reports. In my estimation, the history and prophecies contained in that
collection of books--as well as the ancient writings of other cultures--shed
a great deal of reliable light on the subject from within that conceptual
framework (reality tunnel). Those who have not actually read the Bible
may be shocked to find that angels are described as looking and acting
a lot like human beings (walking, talking, eating meals, etc) but having
abilities exceeding those of humans. They are not described as having
wings or ghostly appearances. And there are many passages describing aerial
objects that match with modern-day descriptions of UFOs. A number of well
written books are available to those who wish to explore this avenue, including
Barry Downing's book: The Bible and Flying Saucers. It is not surprising
to me that some "abductees." I and other researchers I've worked
with have found that by using traditional prayers for the removal of oppressive
spirits their oppressive visitors departed immediately. Some will say
that such a view is religious and not science-minded, but I call those
efforts "successful scientific experiments." If others would
like to try this, the prayers or formulas are found in books like Francis
MacNutt's book: Healing. Thanks to: D. Alan Eastwood eastwood@idsi.net
Editor's Note: Some of our investigators report abductees claim some success
in using prayer to stop or limit abductions.

- AUSTRALIA ABDUCTIONS
-
- Bill Hamilton reports, "Recently Kelly Cahill gave
a presentation here at MUFON LA. Her abduction involved a group of six
near Melbourne, Australia. This case was thoroughly investigated and included
identical marks on different bodies, similar after reactions, ground traces
including tripod marks in the soil. Soil samples were taken and a magnetometer
revealed a magnetic anomaly at the landing site. Three witnesses produced
similar drawings of craft and beings. This is not the only multiple abduction
case or the only case with trace physical evidence or witness corroboration.
Albeit, many "bedroom" abductions may not be physical events
similar to Kelly's and many may be confabulations, but just a few off-road
cases like hers is enough to establish a scientific basis for further research.

- RUMOR OF LIFE ON MARS GROWS
-
- Cara E. Anderson writes, "I have been working with
a Doctor from the Biology Department of the University of Houston on a
Planetarium show." In our efforts to find funding and notable scientists
to be in our project, my partner has heard from several reliable sources
(scientists at NASA AMES / JPL) that NASA has recently accepted that there
is undeniable proof of life on Mars. They have not gone public yet but
intend to do so in the not so distant future. They have suddenly decided
to accept the theory that there is, after all, fossilized microbial life
in the Alan Hill's meteorite (ALH84001). "Not only that, but they
have discovered a section of the Martian terrain that undergoes seasonal
color / color temperature changes that they attribute to be ALGAE."
This has come from an extremely reliable source. Editors Note: Rumors
of this type continue to come from various sources associated with NASA.

- MARS POLAR LANDER SIGNAL?
-
- PASADENA, Calif. (AP) _ Another attempt is being made
to contact the Mars Polar Lander after controllers noticed a very weak
radio signal That could have originated from the silent probe, NASA said
Tuesday. ``This week's test is a real long-shot, and I wouldn't want to
get "Anyone too excited about it,'' said Richard Cook, the spacecraft's
Project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. The probe
was last heard from Dec. 3 as it was about to enter the Martian atmosphere
for a 90-day mission to study the planet's climate And dig for frozen water
beneath the surface. It was the second NASA Spacecraft to disappear in
three months. Seven senior Russian space experts have been meeting with
NASA center directors and may be discussing the similarities between the
loss of the Soviet Phobus 2 mission and our own Mars Lander. The last known
photos taken from Phobus 2 shows it being intercepted by a UFO while orbiting
Mars. The photos can be seen on www.filersfiles.com.

- CROP CIRCLE SIGHTINGS UP IN 1999.
-
- VANCOUVER, BC (Wireless Flash) - It looks like Canada
and England got the cream of the crop circles last year. According to Vancouver-based
crop circle researcher Paul Anderson, there was a 50 percent increase in
crop circle sightings in England in 1999 and a 33 percent increase in Canada.
Meanwhile, the United States had only 12 crop circles, down from 15 in
1998. Israel, which had never had a crop circle before 1997, had three
sightings in 1999. Anderson says it's normal for crop circle sightings
to fluctuate around the world and he hopes further research will uncover
the reason. Thanks to Paul Anderson, Vancouver, BC; (604) 731-8522; Access

how the meteorite dust was deposited in such a way to form these intricate
patterns.
