In the early evening of November 23, 1953 a USAF F-89 jet was scrambled from Kinross AFB in Sault St. Marie, Michigan to intercept an unknown target over Lake Superior. As it approached the 'bogey' its radio transmissions, according to one radar operator who watched the incident, became increasingly jumbled by static. The two blips merged on the radar scope over Canadian waters. The single blip moved off to the North West and then disappeared. Lt. Felix Eugene Moncla, the pilot, his radar operator, Lt. Robert L. Wilson, and their F-89 fighter were never seen again.

The official USAF accident report stated their plane had crashed intercepting an RCAF C-47 transport flying 30 miles off course. The RCAF and the pilot of the C-47 claimed they were right on course and had never seen the jet.

Gord Heath recalls many strange events occurring throughout his life. Heath, a computer systems engineer presently living in Vancouver, was born in Fort William in the Spring of 1954, about nine months after the Kinross incident.

After a UFO sighting in 1999 he became interested in the UFO phenomenon and he began reading up on its history. When he came across the Kinross Incident bells went off. It resonated with many of the strange occurrances stretching back to his early childhood as if it was connecting all the dots. It prompted Gord to do a flurry of research. He mounted his own web site and began to devote his vacation time to visiting the places where Gene Moncla had lived. And the memories began to come...not just vague images, but detailed recollections of the life of Gene Moncla and, even stranger, the detailed recollection that Gene Moncla was his genetic father.

Heath makes no truth claim about his memories. He is fully aware of the confabulating abilities of the mind.

Nevertheless, what he 'recalls' tells a fascinating story about reincarnation, UFOs, and how we give meaning to our lives. And through genetic testing one crucial aspect of the story, his relationship to Moncla, is verifiable. Should the test be negative, the story still tells us much about the enigma of memories and the human mind... and its extraordinary creative, and maybe even transpersonal, abilities.

Karin from the UK sent this in. Thank you very much for this exciting report Karin!

This reminds me of the Frederick Valentich, 20, on October 21, 1978, story where he was flying his Cessna 182 small airplane over Bass Strait in Australia. He reported seeing an unknown object and a few moments later that it was coming towards him. The last that was heard of him was a screeching sound and nothing more. His airplane and himself were gone forever. - Aileen

DULCE NEW MEXICO

Dulce, New Mexico Revisited - Mysteries Still Remain!
By Norio Hayakawa 3-28-7

DULCE, NEW MEXICO - On Sunday, March 25, I finally arrived at Dulce, New Mexico once again, after more than 17 years. It was a long drive from Los Angeles but it was definitely a worthwhile trip. The last time that I was at this "mysterious" little town was in March of 1990.

I will never forget that 1990 visit when I first brought a Japanese TV crew, incredible as it may sound, to document an alleged existence of an "underground U.S./alien joint bio-lab" which was rumored to exist deep under the Archuleta Mesa, adjacent to Dulce. While interviewing many Jicarilla Apache locals on the street at that visit, we were inexplicably detained by the then Police Chief, Hoyt Velarde and kept at his office for almost an hour and a half, during which time he had meticulously taken down our personal info, i.e., our ID's, driver's licence numbers and, in my case, even my Soc. Sec. number, if I recall correctly. It was a shock to us then. We had asked him if we were doing anything illegal by interviewing the people, the question to which he never responded. I clearly remember that just before he released us, he told us in a rather warning tone: "Don't you ever ask any more questions regarding such a base. I have nothing to do with it and I do not want to talk about it!" An enigmatic answer, indeed. That was in March of 1990.

Now here I am once again, in Dulce. It brought me back lots of memories of 1990. However, this time, as soon as I drove in to Dulce, I immediately noticed that it had completely changed since 1990.

It seems to have grown quite a lot, not so much in terms of population, but in terms of its physical appearance. There are now so many new buildings, large and small and many modern local community facilites - a brand new Middle School, a brand new High School, a new Students' Athletic Complex, brand new Police and Maintenance Center, a modern Emergency Medical Service facility, and on the south side, a brand new Student's Residential Complex, and, of course, a newly refurbished Best Western Hotel, all in the small community of less than 3500 residents.

Yes, it has been many years, so it would seem natural for some growth to take place. However, the question I began to think was where did all the funds for all these sudden developments come from? And, especially, for such a tiny town?
When I interviewed the locals in 1990, I clearly remember that almost every one of them had testified to us that in the late 70's and the early 80's, they had frequently observed strange lights in the sky, especially flying over and around, and even appearing to disappear into the sides of the Mesa. They even testified to us that they also frequently observed military helicopters over Dulce, along with reports of cattle mutilations in the ranches nearby. Those were the things we heard back then when we were in Dulce in 1990.

To my great surprise, sightings still seem to continue in and around Dulce, even now!!

Even recent sightings of what many describe as "Bigfoot" along the Navajo River is also a fairly new topic of conversation in Dulce now.

I was so fortunate this time to personally get to know a friendly family who lives in the northwest area of the town. I had gotten to know the husband while I was attending the UFO syposium in Aztec the weekend before. During my three days of stay in Dulce this time, I have obtained many new, fascinating sighting reports from many locals again, particularly from the family that I just mentioned and their relatives.

On my second day of stay in Dulce, this family invited me to their residence for a great meal. They had also invited their relatives who were willing to describe to me in detail many strange experiences they have had and even are having now.

It was assuring to know that the family that I befriended were immediate relatives of high officials of the Jicarilla Apache tribe. The husband was a son of the former head of the Police Department (way before Hoyt Velarde). His wife is an immediate family of the head of the Jicarilla Apache tribal council. His sister-in-law has been a Dulce Police dispatcher. For this reason, I will refrain from naming any individuals to protect their privacy.

My friend's wife told me of a fairly recent incident whereby a huge, silent delta-shaped dark object emitting extremely bright lights slowly passed over a group of 50 to 75 (all their relatives) on a mesa where they were celebrating a traditional Jicarilla Apache feast called the "coming out" feast, a "puberty" celebration for young boys and girls (similar to the Spanish quincenera celebration). The huge object appeared after sundown, an hour or so after their traditional meals had ended and after the shamans had completed their chantings and dances. They were simply stunned to see the huge triangular 'craft' hovering only about 100 feet above the campground. The entire area lit up like daylight. What was more amazing was that after a few minutes of hovering over the area, it suddenly took off with a tremendous gust of wind. Pots and pans were flying all over. Some of the people were almost thrown off their vehicles. Fortunately, no one was injured. Panic spread. The generators failed to re-start and all battery-operated appliances malfunctioned, including the car radios.

Another recent incident they recounted was a daytime sighting of a silver, saucer-shaped object at around 11 a.m., which hovered for 30 minutes right next to Hwy 537, not too far from the junction of U.S. 64, north of La Jara Lake.

One relative also recounted a recent, unforgettable sighting of a huge, flying "triangle" near Hwy 537, near J-30 (Jicrailla Road, #30), with some type of a "cloaking device" that almost appeared to have a transparent body. The object was described to have been close to half-a-mile in length!!

The biggest and most impressive sighting, however, took place in May of 2004 when several families were celebrating together the feast on a Jicarilla Apache campground, located at an area near J-33 and J-40, right near the Continental Divide. Incredibly, it involved hundreds (not just one or two objects) of brilliant objects in the night sky. It literally filled up the entire sky, according to the testimony of the former Dulce police dispatcher. There were close to 100 witnesses to this incredible incident. Some even said that there were probably close to several hundred objects in the night sky. They moved en masse slowly from one end of the sky to the other. It was literally an "armada" of UFOs (which exactly reminded me of the famous, well-documented 1950 mass sightings of UFOs over Farmington, near the Four Corners ara of New Mexico).
What was particularly fascinating about this sighting was that everyone also saw a small fleet of military helicopters which seemed to follow the objects. Again, car radios went dead all through the sighting.

An interesting point is that many of the appearances of UFOs seem to coincide with various feasts taking place in the Jicarilla Apache reservation. Were 'they' attracted to the Jicarilla feasts?

Last but not the least of the impressive Dulce sightings involved a Jicarilla Apache Forerst Service ranger who witnessed a 'craft' of some kind enter the east side of the Archuleta Mesa through several large rocks that appeared to open (almost like a door) and in went the craft into the side of the mesa. He excitedly reported this sighting live on his microphone while he was communicating on his radio with the Forest Service station across the south side of Dulce. The ranger was stationed at the top of the Archuleta Mesa in the look-out building next to the radio communications tower. This took place a few years after a big fire destroyed many of the trees on and around the mesa. (What is still strange about the aftermath of the fire, which they say happened about 10 years ago, is the fact that all attempts for the re-forestation have so far failed on and around the Archuleta Mesa. The trees just don't seem to grow for some strange reason or other.)

What is my conclusion to all these recent sightings in Dulce? These were all first-hand eyewitnesses to the events. Without doubt, I cannot help but believe that they all saw what they described to have seen. There is no other logical explanation.

Lastly, while in Dulce, the son of the former head of the Dulce Police Department took me to the site of Project Gasbuggy. Project Gasbuggy was a rather 'strange' 1967 government project which involved a large underground nuclear explosion (29 kilotons of TNT) deep inside the high plateau area 25 miles south of Dulce, allegedly to release natural gas from deep under the ground. It was a joint project with El Paso Natural Gas Company. What is not frequently mentioned in association with this curious project was that the huge nuclear explosion had created, deep, huge underground extensive caverns all over the area along with extensive natural "tunnels".

What this has to do with the ongoing sightings of not only "UFOs" but also alleged sightings of "entities" (including fairly recent sightings of alleged 'Bigfoot' along the Navajo River near Dulce) is up to the reader. We may not necessarily be talking about purely physical phenomena but somehow intertwined with it could be a yet unknown type of "interdimensional" occurrances.

But, of course, we cannot rule out any prosaic answers. One theory is that the town of Dulce is benefitting financially by allegedly covering up the dumping of nuclear waste materials (from Los Alamos and elsewhere) into the underground cavities under Dulce and its neighboring areas and have created the entire Dulce "underground base" story as a cover story!

Whatever the case may be, it is simply fascinating!! And it is still ongoing in the "mysterious" town of Dulce, New Mexico!!

SYMINGTON

UFOs flew over Phoenix in '97, Symington says
By Tom Beal
Arizona Daily Star - Tucson, Arizona
March 23, 2007
(Sent in by Gerald Bringle)

Former Gov. Fife Symington says now that those strange lights that appeared over Phoenix a decade ago were from another world and that he had a close encounter with an alien craft on March 13, 1997. "I'm a pilot and I know just about every machine that flies. It was bigger than anything that I've ever seen. It remains a great mystery.

Other people saw it, responsible people," Symington said Thursday. "I don't know why people would ridicule it." Symington, who was in his second term as governor of Arizona during the Phoenix Lights incident, recently told a UFO investigator making a documentary that he had kept quiet about his personal close encounter because he didn't want to panic the populace.

He repeated his story Thursday on CNN, saying the craft he saw was "enormous. It just felt other-worldly. In your gut, you could just tell it was other-worldly." The governor didn't let on at the time, instead poking fun at the whole thing.

He hosted a press conference a few months after the mass sightings to announce that his Department of Public Safety had arrested the culprit responsible - a very tall bug-eyed creature brought before the media in handcuffs. He then unmasked the creature to reveal his chief of staff, Jay Heiler, who at 6-foot-4 made an imposing, somewhat comical space alien.

Symington said the producer of the film "Out of the Blue," James Fox, originally sought him out to talk about why he had spoofed the sightings but then asked if he had seen the lights. "I said, 'Yeah, I got a good look.'"

Heiler said Thursday he isn't surprised Symington believes in UFOs. He said his boss was a "Trekkie" who enjoyed discussing space travel. Heiler said Symington was convinced that earthlings would be traveling to distant solar systems at speeds exceeding the speed of light "in our lifetimes." Heiler said he remained "the earthbound skeptic" in those talks. Symington never mentioned his personal observation of the Phoenix Lights but was always interested in getting to the bottom of it, Heiler said. "The DPS was at kind of a loss as to how to investigate an alien visit."

Symington's June 1997 press conference coincided with his appearance in federal court on a variety of fraud charges. "It was a troublesome period to say the least," Symington said. He said he didn't need the additional problems that would have come with the admission he had seen a UFO. He told only his wife, he said. Symington was convicted of bank and wire fraud and had to vacate his office that September. His conviction was later overturned and he was pardoned by President Bill Clinton before federal prosecutors made a decision on refiling.

Tucson astronomer and retired Air Force pilot *James McGaha said he investigated two separate sightings over Phoenix that March night and traced them both to A-10 aircraft flying in formation at high altitude. McGaha said he talked to an amateur astronomer who observed the A-10s and to the National Guard unit that flew them. "It was clearly aircraft in formation, flying at two different times and then dropping flares and it's clear to any rational person that's what it was," McGaha said Thursday. McGaha said Symington "is not a trained observer and what he feels in his gut doesn't make any difference."

Symington said he's always believed that life existed elsewhere. "The universe is a big place and we're conceited to think we're alone."
_________
*McGaha has taken Phillip Klas's place as the proverbial skeptic to all UFO sightings. When I was in Tucson at the International UFO Conference he came there with his camera sporting a fish-eye lense. He went around taking pictures of the attendees and the next day there were the pictures in the Tucson paper. He made fun of everyone. My daughter and I had a table there where we sold our magazine. When we saw what he was doing we made ourselves busy sorting our inventory under the table. Thank goodness we didn't have our picture in the paper but a lot of persons did.

JOHN REEVES

The 1965 Brooksville, Florida Case
John Reeves: First Man on the Moon
by Billy J. Rachels,
Director UFO Bureau
From Alternate Perceptions Magazine
Brent Raynes, Editor

Before there was Gulf Breeze there was Brooksville, Florida, known as the UFO Capitol of the world during the 1960s and 1970s. In 1968 I got into radio broadcasting and ended up working the Neal Armstrong landing in 1969, airing the Mutual Network coverage of it on WCNH AM/FM in Quincy, FL. Shortly after that, I heard about a man in Brooksville saying he was the first man to set foot on the moon. In 1970 and 1971 I would go to see him and the landing site, his moon dust and plaster casts of footprints.

Our story begins when a former steelworker from the cold North decided to retire to sunny Central Florida. Born John Frank Reeves -- in 1961 he bought a small house on highway 50 located 10 miles wet of Brooksville and not too far from the Gulf of Mexico. Mr. Reeves, who is one of the most overlooked contactees of all time, is a simple and honest man with a limited education. His favorite form of exercise is taking long walks behind his house in the sandy, hilly countryside. It was on one of these leisure walks that he had his first encounter with beings from outer space. The date was March 2, 1965, and between 1965 and 1971 he would have a number of encounters with the Space People (as he would call them).

On that day back in 1965, it was mid-afternoon, about a half mile from his home. Just as he topped a sand dune he saw an amazing sight. Approximately 100 yards away was a disc-shaped object sitting on the ground with four stilt-like legs. Mr. Reeves described the object as a disc with a dome on top, a dull, silvery-gray color. He estimated the diameter at 40 feet, 8 to 9 feet at its thickest point, and the distance from the edge of the disc to the ground was approximately 3 1/2 feet. John Reeves later would build a full size wood model of the saucer in his back yard. It really grabbed your attention as you drove down the highway.

Now, back to the encounter. John had never seen anything like this before, and he moved with caution. As he approached the strange craft he noticed a figure about 25 feet from the saucer. He said it appeared to have a tight, luminous skin covering the entire body. Later, he thought it may have been a robot. The being turned suddenly around and started moving toward John, pulling from its side a small square object, similar to a camera. The being held the device at chin-level, then pushed a button that caused an extremely bright flash. Mr. Reeves attempted to run away, but tripped over a bush and lost his glasses. Lying on the ground, he watched the being as it picked up the glasses and gave them to him. (!) By this time, John was quite upset. As the being made its way back to the ship, it dropped two pieces of paper onto the ground, then entered the object via a slat-like stairway on the underside. Mr. Reeves then described something that he will never, ever forget. The Saucer began rotating counterclockwise, slowly at first, then faster as it rose gradually and finally left the area at a high rate of speed.

Sometime later, he took the thin papers with what appeared to be writing on it to the local radio station. They interviewed him, and then called the Air Force. The Air Force confiscated the papers, and several weeks returned to him a different type of paper with no writing on it of any kind.

The local sheriff and newspaper editor said they found Mr. Reeves to be a normal, sincere and honest man. After some more sightings were made in the area -- one being very low-level -- the Air Force brought in some high-ranking officers and some special equipment, then closed off the entire area to everyone, including the sheriff and members of his staff. The Air Force later declared the sighting a hoax.

Mr. Reeves would have more sightings and contacts with the Space People. His most outstanding took place on August 6, 1968, almost a full year before Neal Armstrong landed on the Moon. Responding to an unexplainable urge to go to the same part of the woods where he had encountered the saucer, he saw the same type of ship, and met with the Space People for several hours. He asked them all types of questions. He said they spoke English, as well as other languages. They told him their ships were made of a super strong substance, much stronger than steel but lightweight like aluminum. He went on to describe the beings as beautiful, slim, tall, with smooth skin and features similar to Orientals, but only slightly. They wore tight-fitting, one piece jumpsuits, and appeared to be in their 30s, though they claimed to be much older. The Space People asked him if he would like to take a trip to the Moon. John quickly said yes, as he felt he could trust them.

The entire trip (there and back) took a little over six hours. They landed on the dark side of the Moon, where he found their base enclosed in a large, transparent dome, under which he was able to walk comfortably in his short-sleeved shirt. Let me point out that in the last couple of years, Richard Hoagland claims to have found similar structures in NASA Moon photos.

Needless to say, being the first Earthman on the Moon, Mr. Reeves' eyes almost popped out of his head. Realizing he would need proof of his trip, he reached down and scooped up some dark gray lunar dust into a medicine bottle, and picked up an approximately softball-size crystal. Later, when he talked to scientists about his trip, he told them that the Earth was more egg-shaped than round, and that you could see light clouds on the Moon. He did not show them the dust or rock because he feared they would take his samples and never return them.

One year later, as Neal Armstrong stepped onto the surface of the Moon, he said, "The surface of the Moon ranges from chalky gray to much darker. The ground is covered in a gray dust ranging from very finely granulated to larger glasslike beads very much like earth coal." He also said you could see light clouds off in the distance, coming together, but quickly breaking up. On their trip back, they noted that the Earth was more egg-shaped than round.

I saw the dust. It was much finer than coal dust. I also looked in a book on all types of rocks and could not find anything that matched the crystal that John had let me hold, though he would not give me a sample. He kept the dust and the crystal under heavy lock and key. He would show them to almost no one, and I had to beg to see them. He also showed me a duplicate of a flag he had from their world, saying he had the real one in a safe deposit box (I never found out if that was true). The Space People told John that their home planet was called Moniheya. It was 32,000 miles around, with 30 countries, total population 15 billion.

In September 1972, the sandy deserted hills where John loved to walk and meet with the Space People were no more. Developers began removing trees and flattening hills to make way for a mobile home park. And, yes, someone does have that original landing site in their front yard.

Mr. John Reeves is now deceased, but his claim to be the First Earthman on the Moon will live forever in the hearts of researchers like myself.

EDITOR'S NOTE: (Brent Raynes) Back between 1969 and 1975, I made several sojourns to Brooksville. I met with locals, like Ramona Hibner and Eula Lewis, and heard all kinds of fascinating tales of UFOs, aliens, and Bigfoots. And, of course, I met John Reeves at his home. It was a circus. People came by while I was there, and Mr. Reeves told his story to them as he told it to me. He didn't seem to tire of telling his story over and over. He took people around his property to see a curious monument he had constructed to the Space People. Nearby was the Saucer replica that Mr. Reeves had constructed, as mentioned in the above article.

Mr. Reeves was a very nice and open man. He really did seem to believe his own stories. Ramona felt that he had been "programmed" though with certain memories by an alien intelligence, and that his memories and experiences could not be trusted as objective evidence of what actually transpired during his "encounters." And, of course, over the years details might become embellished and distorted with the frequent retelling.

Nevertheless, Brooksville indeed used to be the UFO Capitol of the Saucer World, and John Reeves was its resident Contactee celebrity!

CLOSE ENCOUNTER AT THE SHAMROCK CAFE

News of the World
London, England
Special Report by Keith Beabey and Pippa Sibley

Strange red and white lights hovered overhead as three women drove home from their weekly night out. Mysteriously, their car came to a halt outside the Shamrock Cafe on the A5 in Shropshire, though the driver had her foot hard down on the accelerator.

Then the lights suddenly vanished and the trio rushed excitedly to a nearby police station, where they reported a close encounter with a UFO.

But that was when they noticed something even stranger had happened. The drive to the police station should have taken five minutes. Instead, it took twenty-five. Only now, with the help of hypnosis under the strictest supervision, has an explanation been found for those missing twenty minutes. And it is amazing.

Each of the women has independently told the same story -- that they did indeed have a close encounter, far closer than they first imagined. For each says she was taken aboard a spacecraft, examined by alien beings and then released.

None of the three had been drinking on that fateful Thursday night. They had all stuck to Coca-Cola. But, although hypnotized separately, they each describe the spaceship and its inhabitants the same way.

They say the ship was steel, circular and brightly lit. They speak of 4 ft tall aliens dressed in green, and imitated the spacemen's distinctive gruff voices.

And they have each made similar drawings of what the ship looked like. The News of the World has videotape recordings of the women reliving their astonishing lost moments. And a panel of expert witnesses, including doctors, a lawyer and a police chief, have also been present during the hypnosis sessions, which are still going on. All the experts are convinced that the women's claims are genuine. The police chief, Det. Chief Inspector Norman Collinson of Manchester's fraud squad, says: "I am perfectly satisfied that this is not a hoax."

And one of the medical men, Dr. Albert Kellar, says that under hypnosis one of the women's pulse rate and blood pressure shot up. "These conditions cannot be simulated." he says. "Whatever happened to her was real."

The three women all live on the outskirts of Telford in Shropshire. They are pretty blonde divorcee Rosemary Hawkins, 27, a mother of three, and her housewife friends Valerie Walters, 26 and Viv Hayward, 27.

Most Thursdays they would go off in Viv's Avenger saloon to Tiffany's disco in Shrewsbury, for a "girls night out" with their menfolk's blessing.

And it was while they were returning from there in the early hours of the morning near the tiny hamlet of Atcham, that they first saw hovering lights.

Rosemary tells what they remember before hypnosis. She says: "I opened the car window to get a better look. "The lights hovered -- four white and two red -- about 200 feet. "The lights became blinding. There was no noise. By then I looked at my watch." It was 2 a.m. and the trio should have been five minutes from home. Rosemary says: "It became obvious we were looking at a flying saucer - a UFO. It followed us along the road.

"We were very frightened. Viv tried putting her foot down but it was as if the brakes were on." Instead of roaring along the deserted road home, the car was almost at a standstill when it reached the Shamrock Cafe in the shadow of The Wrekin hill.

"Then the lights dimmed and the craft disappeared" says Rosemary, "We were so excited we drove straight to Telford police station."

They arrived at ten minutes to three and their sighting was logged. But the trio couldn't account for that missing 20 minutes.

Then they were contacted by UFO expert, Mr. Harold Harris, a lawyer, and agreed to be hypnotized.

Three Manchester medical men undertook the hypnosis - Dr. Joseph Jaffe, Dr. Leslie Davies and Dr. Albert Kellar.

Each of the women was interviewed separately in the presence of witnesses, with most of the questions being put by Mr. Harris, the lawyer.

This is Rosemary's version of events under hypnosis: "Bright lights. White tinged with yellow and red. So strange it's there. No sound. "We are so frightened. The lights are attached to a spacecraft of some kind.

"I am floating and I'm not in the car any more with Viv or Val, I feel big and bloated. It is a semicircular room. I'm on a bed in the room, like a long table on a stand. There's something coming. I can hear them. Something is in the room. It's metal. It doesn't walk -- it sort of rolls on wheels.

"It's about four feet tall, round on the top with a round body and round legs.

"It's looking at me. There's more coming. It's the same noise. There are four. They are around me. "They haven't got a face. Their heads move up and down. That's how I know they are talking about me. "They don't seem to be nasty. They just want to have a look. I feel so relaxed and they feel friendly, I like them.

She adds: "I am floating again. I can see the car. Everything has gone black. I'm in the car now. Val and Viv are there with me. Viv's got her foot down hard on the accelerator. We are trying to get away from it."

Rosemary's friend, former nurse Mrs. Viv Heyward, says under hypnosis that she had been driving the car but it was suddenly taken from her control.

"I feel I'm floating," she says. "I'm being drawn up. The car is being taken up." Sobbing, she adds: "I can't see the road any more. I see a white cloud. I'm on my own. I can see the door of the UFO open. It is round. I'm looking through the car window. The car roof is going in first. It's like two big doors opening. It's made of steel."

Inside the craft she describes windows, the lights, and a bank of computers with TV screens. She says: "I can feel these aliens holding me down. They seem as though they have taken me out of the car. I'm in a chair. They're holding me down. They feel very strong. They are trying to find out things from me. They want to know how we're made. It feels as if they are taking something from my body. My legs. There is a lot of pain in my legs. They are putting their hands inside my legs and pulling my bones. They are telling me not to be frightened." In a gruff voice she imitates how the aliens spoke to her.

"Somebody in charge is talking to me. I feel that they are hurting me. They seem to release their grips but I can't move. They have scanned me. My top half and then the rest of my body.

"They carry me to my car. The car is back on the road."

Asked to describe the creatures, she says: "They are four feet tall. They have no hair. They are ugly. They have a strange looking nose: thin arms. I can't see their legs. They are dressed in green cloaks. They look like men."

Valerie Walters, the third girl on the mystery trip, says: "I can see the lights. It's hovering and gliding towards us. There's a bright light in my head and I feel big and clumsy. I'm walking down the road looking for Rosemary."

Then she cries out and says: "Somebody has touched me on my shoulder. Somebody is carrying me. I can feel them but I can't see them. I hear voices. They seem to be telling me: 'don't be afraid.'"

Back at home, Rosemary says: "That night will live with me for the rest of my life. And the hypnotic sessions are not over. I have to tell more with the doctor's guidance. It seems the aliens were waiting for us three because we are so different in our personalities and outlooks.

"I know people may laugh. But we know what happened and we're telling the truth."

Her friend Val says: "I know from what happened to me that beings from another planet have been here and I'm proud they chose me to visit."

The aliens that Valerie met were like those seen by her friend Viv - but Valerie also saw a female alien. Val says: "I told the doctor and the experts I'd seen a man and a womanlike creature dressed in long, green robes. The woman was fascinated by my shoes. She took them off me and tried walking in them. She had bare feet. The creatures kept feeling my clothes and my hair. I wasn't afraid of them, but was frightened of what was happening."

UFO CRASH IN GEORGIA

Columbus

On the afternoon of November 28, 2006, according to the Fire and Police Chief "several credible witnesses" stated that they saw "something shiny and bright crash into a wooded area directly behind the Pratt & Whitney plant just off US 80 (Macon Rd)" Scores of police, fire and at least one FAA official raced to the scene. (This account can be seen on the WTVM Channel 9 Columbus, Georgia website) The "search" was joined by "personnel" from Fort Benning, Georgia, the Georgia State Patrol and several "unidentified" personnel."According to the officials, "...after searching for over 5 hours (including the use of helicopters) NOTHING was found". In addition, the fire chief made a statement to a local news crew (on film) that..."sometimes people see what they think is something and it really is nothing...."

Several large tractor trailers were seen going into the area which had been contained by police. According to the local press, the witnesses (which are suppose to have been "interviewed" by the local Police on Wednesday the next day) all stated that something "crashed" and it appeared to be a shiny object traveling at high speed. Interestingly, the police, fire and FAA official stated on the next day that "neither the local Columbus Metropolitan Airport or Fort Benning Lawson Army Airfield radar had shown NO sign of ANY craft or object on radar at the supposed time of impact.

BUT I spoke to the head weather reporter for a local TV station who told me that his station has their OWN RADAR and they showed "something" striking the area at the approximate time given. I and another professional educator (both hold PhD's) were traveling next to the Columbus Metro Airport at 1 PM the next day when we both saw a completely unmarked, white 727 aircraft.

As the plane taxied by us no more than 100 feet away my companion's vehicle, lost all power, all gauges went dead, power steering, engine, everything and we glided to a stop. We both exited the vehicle thinking something mechanically major had gone wrong with his vehicle. At that moment the plane began to slowly pass us as it was taxing from the main runway. I picked up my cell phone to call a mechanic and found my cell phone to be dead. My companion's cell phone was also dead. We both watched the plane as it went by us. Both of us are veterans and have traveled MANY times on 727's. Almost at the same moment, we both spoke because we noticed that the plane had no markings of any kind...no tail numbers, nothing. The plane had a strange finish and almost looked (excuse the obvious pun) whitewashed. When the plane got about 100 feet from us, my companions car restarted with no apparent reason, or damage of any kind. In addition, both my and my companion's cell phone came back on.

We are both academic professors and are empiricists. We have NEVER been involved in ANY such thing before. I immediately attempted to call the airport to inquire about the plane. I was connected (I don't know why to this number) the fire/police crash station. I started to ask the man who answered about the plane. He rudely cut me off and stated, "that is a private plane, thank you" and hung up. Approximately 30 minutes later I called CSG Aviation and a young woman answered and I inquired about the plane. She told me "that was a government plane" I asked how she knew that and she said that "It had picked up SOMETHING which it loaded into its rear section and it also refueled, a man in a coat and tie came from the plane and PAID for the fuel with a credit card which had US Treasury and an account number on it." She said that's how she knew it was a "government plane".

An additional call to the Airport admin office confused me further. At that time I was now told that, " I was mistaken, that NO PLANE, much less a 727, had landed or taken off during the time period I gave". When my wife got home, I told her of my encounter and SHE INFORMED ME about the "crash" the day before. I had not been feeling well and had not read the paper or seen the news.

I am trying to get the "witnesses statements" from the police. I FIRMLY believe that SOMETHING WAS FOUND AND RECOVERED and that it was taken from Columbus the next day in the STRANGE and unexplained "ghost plane" my friend and I saw. We have a huge military base here with its own airport. Logic states that if this was something military, they would of taken it to Fort Benning. I was also told that during the same period that "debris" was reported striking areas around Montgomery, Alabama which is 100 miles from here.

ETs ARE AMONG US

Scholarly historical UFO accounts suggest Human-looking Extraterrestrials living among us

Compiled by Dr. Michael Salla et al

A University of Mexico tenured medical professor who met with an extraterrestrial, posing as an ordinary civilian, helps corroborate claims of Human Extraterrestrials living among us. This professor was also a senior member of the Mexican Atomic Energy Commission. The Professor used the pseudonym of ‘Prof Hernandez’ and worked with a Mexican journalist, Zitha Rodriguez to release details of his contact in the early 1970's.

It all began in 1972, with a voice in his head, leading him to scientific breakthroughs in his own medical research in immunology which brought him special recognition by his peers. Professor Hernandez knew the ideas were not his own, because he had no background in developing them. They came to his mind full blown, as though someone who knew perfectly well what he was talking about had explained them to him in detail.

Later in that year he was approached by the author of that voice in his head, and it turned out to be a beautiful extraterrestrial woman who said he could call her Elyense, which he changed to LYA for short. She met him several times on the University Campus before she went any further.

LYA wore a dark pantsuit of some very fine material that the professor could not quite identify. She had dark eyes and wore dark hair shoulder length. She walked our streets and breathed our ambient air with no difficulty. She even drank fruit juice with him at a sidewalk lunch table as they talked. She was obviously far better educated than Hernandez, and he was considered one of his country's foremost scientists.

When the professor questioned LYA's extreme intelligence and the source of her superior knowledge, she took him into her confidence and told him that she was not from this planet -- that she came from another world in a group of stars we called Andromeda. He thought she meant the Andromeda Galaxy at first.

On a subsequent meeting she guided him to a secluded desert area outside of Mexico City and took him aboard her disc-shaped spacecraft. There, she showed him many scientific wonders, and at one point took him to a viewing screen where she worked some controls and brought up an image of a star-field in the screen. She showed him some guide stars in Cassiopeia and in Andromeda Constellation, and then showed him where her home sun was in relation to those other stars.

LYA told Mr. Hernandez that there were many space-races far more advanced than men of Earth who were also coming here for exploration, observation, and study of our humanity about to enter a point where we would either join others in space travel and exploration, or we would eliminate ourselves in a suicidal employment of our primitive technology. We had become a society of some interest to many.

LYA picked the professor up and took him on trips on her spacecraft on four occasions. One of them was a small five meter diameter explorer. Another was a 60 metre intermediate ship that carried a number of the smaller ones. And one time he was taken to a much larger mother-ship that was a mobile support base for several of the intermediate class. She said that they had many teams working in our solar system and here, and they had many Earth contactees. She told the professor of another contactee being used by a different contact team from her society who lived in Chicago. His name was Thomas Haskins, and he was a black man who lived in the South Side. Prof. Hernandez ultimately met Haskins and they compared notes.

LYA also told the professor of other space-traveling races carrying out operations on this planet, including, remarkably, some contacts by "Pliones" with a one -armed man who lives in Switzerland. This was mentioned to the professor in 1976, before anything on the Pleiades contacts in Switzerland had been released outside of a very small local group of people around that man.

Hernandez story was investigated by Lt. Col. Wendelle Stevens who corresponded with Zitha Rodriquez. Stevens found many similarities with other contactee cases even though Hernandez could not have known of these. He decided to translate Rodriquez book of Hernandez experiences and eventually concluded that Hernandez was credible.

As in the Adamski and Menger cases, Hernandez reveals that his extraterrestrial contact could easily blend into the Mexican population. In contrast to the Adamski and Menger cases, Lya was alone and did not appear to have a buddy.

While she did not own a car, she knew how to navigate Mexico City’s road system to ensure that Hernandez could reach the destination of her flying vehicle. Her ability to meet with Hernandez in city locations and knowledge of how to travel to rural areas, again suggests familiarity with the location and customs of the native population.

It is not only contactees that have discussed extraterrestrials living among us, there are also the testimonies of highly credible whistleblowers who make similar claims.

In 1984, with his contacts still going on, Professor Hernandez could no longer be reached by Zitha Rodriguez, or others researchers who had made contact with him as a contactee, and nothing of him has been discovered of him since, though both private and police detectives have continually searched.

A full 224 page report on these contacts has been published as UFO Contact from Andromeda, by Rodriguez-Stevens.

Whistleblower Testimonies of Extraterrestrials Living Among Us

Contactee claims that extraterrestrials were living among us received a significant boost by the whistleblower testimony of Command Sergeant Major Robert Dean. Dean worked at NATO’s Supreme Headquarters from 1963-1967, and during this time was stationed in the Operations Center with a Cosmic Top Secret clearance. He claims to have viewed a secret NATO study that was commissioned to analyze the threat posed by UFOs to NATO operations in Eastern Europe. The classified report was titled: “An Assessment: An Evaluation of a Possible Military threat to Allied Forces in Europe.” It focused on the dangers of UFOs being mistakenly identified as an incoming ballistic missile attack from the Soviet Union.

Command Sergeant Dean claimed that the NATO study identified four different extraterrestrial civilizations visiting the Earth. He said that what really worried the NATO top brass was that some of the visitors looked so much like us that they were virtually indistinguishable. Mr. Dean says that NATO generals were paranoid over the possibility that some of the extraterrestrial visitors could be walking in the corridors of power.

In an interview he said: There was a human group that looked so much like us that that really drove the admirals and the generals crazy because they determined that these people, and they had seen them repeatedly, they had had contact with them. These people looked so much like us they could sit next to you on a plane or in a restaurant and you'd never know the difference. And being military and being primarily paranoid, that bothered the generals and the admirals a little bit. That the fact that these intelligent entities could be involved with us, walking up and down the corridors of SHAPE, walking down the corridors [of power].

Mr. Dean’s testimony is a vital key in unlocking the truth of extraterrestrials living among the human population. His testimony conclusively demonstrates that official military and government agencies are aware of this possibility, and in fact would undoubtedly have been developing strategies for such a contingency. While NATO viewed extraterrestrials living among us in the context of a classified Study assessing UFOs as a potential security threat, based on contactee testimonies, it appears that the extraterrestrial visitors are blending in to learn about the human population. In addition to learning about human values and civilization with varying objectives and agendas, it appears that the visitors were conducting a low key education effort to promote awareness of their presence to a limited number of individual ‘contactees’.

"Extraterrestrial Exposure Law"

In 1969, NASA passed a federal regulation dealing with “Extra-terrestrial Exposure”. The Extraterrestrial Exposure law offers a legal precedent for the detention and indefinite imprisonment of any individual who comes into contact with extraterrestrials.

The most relevant passages concern the power of NASA administrator or his/her designee to: Determine that a particular person, property, animal, or other form of life or matter, whatever is extra-terrestrially exposed and quarantine such person, property, animal, or other form of life or matter whatever. The quarantine may be based only on a determination, with or without the benefit of a hearing, that there is probable cause to believe that such person, property, animal or other form of life or matter whatever is extra-terrestrially exposed. -- Title 14 National Aeronautics and Space Section 1211.102 A3

Most disturbing about this federal regulation was that such detention could not be appealed and due legal process, could be denied to citizens on the basis of “probable cause” that they have been extraterrestrially exposed. Given that the general public and elected representatives are not aware of an extraterrestrial presence, this NASA regulation gives a green light to practices and decisions concerning extraterrestrial exposure that are not subject to congressional oversight or media scrutiny. While the Extraterrestrial Exposure law was “officially removed” and placed on reserve status in 1991, it nevertheless creates a precedent that the legal counsel of any government agency or military department could cite for possible enforcement against individuals who have extraterrestrial contact. NASA’s regulation, and similar laws or regulations in other countries, provide a powerful means of silencing individuals who come into contact with extraterrestrials who have merged into the general population. Essentially, anyone encountering such extraterrestrials could be subjected to indefinite detention without any legal protection. This would not only deter individuals from disclosing such interactions with extraterrestrials, but would also help deter extraterrestrials from disclosing their origins to ordinary citizens.

BECKY ANDREASSON

From UFO casebook..
Implant revealed

Below-Becky says, "The Gray is monitoring and gathering the information from my implant that was put in me at an earlier date, he is doing this with that half egg shape instrument he is using." A big thanks to Becky for sharing this information with us here at the UFO Casebook.
*********************

B J's Interview with Becky Andreasson Becky Andreasson is the daughter of famous abductee, Betty Andreasson Luca, and an abductee herself. She has now launched her own web site, where she shares her life long experiences with beings not of this world. She has been kind enough to answer some questions from B J about the strange, paranormal encounters which have touched the lives of her and her family. Five books, to date, have been authored about these ongoing events, plus many newspaper articles, magazines, and web articles.

Becky says that what has influenced her more than anything else is the mystical language taught to her by the "Elders."Her experiences began as a young child, when she was taken from her crib by one of the Elders. When she was returned, she was left outside of her house. Her mother was informed by the next door neighbor that Becky was playing outside. There was no way she could have left the house by herself. Her mother was frightened by this puzzling occurrence...but the full implication of these happenings would only be revealed many years later. See the UFO Casebook case file on the Betty Andreasson Abduction

B J: Becky, thank you for taking the time to answer some questions for our readers. I am sure this will give them a better understanding of the enigmatic experiences of alien abductees.

Becky: You're very welcome B J

B J: On your web site, you talk about the time you were taken from your crib as a child. Was this your family's first paranormal experience?

Becky: No this was not my family's first paranormal experience. I was a new born infant in my bassinet, next to my parents bed. Around 3:00 AM my mother was awakened by a mans gentle voice calling her name. She looked at me and glanced around the room, her name being called again, she could see no one. Try as she may, my father would not wake up, so through fear, she quickly covered her head with the blanket! This was my beginning, linked to my mothers line of on going paranormal experiences.

B J: Do you recall any details about the alien craft you were taken to? What did the aliens look like?

Becky: There were several occasions when I was in alien crafts and yes I do recall. First there was soft lighting with no casting of shadow in all the crafts I've been in. I heard what sounded like glass wind chimes in the crafts. There were training stations, large screens, unusual toys, tall, glass-like cylinders, floating disks, rooms of mirrors, seats, tables, types of windows in some of the rooms, a large open canister that contained the same light that held me up in my bedroom, from that growling creature crouched in the corner of my room. There was also some of the symbolic symbols written above a door in one of the rooms. These are a few details of crafts I've been in.

My experiences are with a few different types of aliens; The Elders/Human looking, tall, white hair, blue eyes, very light white skin and dressed in white garments.

The Beings/Human looking, a bit shorter then the Elders, light blond hair, green eyes, white skin and dressed in white garments; these Beings, in my opinion, look like they could pass as human!

Ishta/Human looking, seemed tall to me, reddish-brown hair, brown eyes, white skin, dressed in a dark green garment and wore a mystical ring on her finger!

E sa/ Human looking, very tall, whitish-gray hair,olive-green skin, dressed all in white and when he spoke, it was in a singing form in the language of the symbols I was taught and I understood him! E sa wore a jeweled medallion necklace.

The Grays/short-around 3 to 4 1/2 feet tall, large, dark almond shape eyes, slit for mouth, indented-nose and ears, large head, no hair, grey skin.

Creature in the corner of my bedroom; dark murky brownish color, red eyes, growling! kind of looks like a chupacabra creature.

There are other beings I have encountered and paranormal experiences that I have had. These will be revealed on my web site in the near future!

B J: Do you recall having any interaction with the other two children who were playing with the weightless toys? Did they notice you when you came in?

Becky: Yes. We all played with the toys together and when Nadine and I were sitting in the seat, I whispered to her, "Don't be afraid," as she was squeezing my hand. Her and I also played at the big screen.

B J: How many other encounters did you have before the famous 1967 abduction of your mother?

Becky: Several, some are recorded in the Andreasson Legacy.

B J: Do you remember the suspended animation while it was happening, or was it only afterward that you were aware of it?

Becky: No, I don't remember being in suspended animation, I do remember being active and seeing other family members in the suspended state.

B J: You call the aliens "peculiar" looking. Can you describe them for us?

Becky: At age 11, they looked like clay men in suits with big heads and large eyes, to me.

B J: Did they communicate with you or other members of your family? If so, how?

Becky: In the 1967 encounter, they communicated telepathically with Mom and I, also Jessup played light games in the air with me.

B J: You call the aliens, "The Watchers." What is the origin of this term, as relating to the aliens?

Becky: "The Watchers," this term relating to the aliens for me means that these Watchers are doing just that, watching over Mankind.

B J: Can you say that these beings were the same as those who took you as a child?

Becky: From birth to age 12, I was taken by the Elders, Beings and Ishta. After 12 years old, there were Elders, Beings, Ishta, and GRAYS. Also something people do not know about my experience in 1967, this was the VERY FIRST TIME I EVER SAW A GRAY! Mom was taken and the family all stayed in suspended animation, and I was playing light games in the air with Jessup!

B J: Were you told to call one of the Watchers, Jessup? Did he introduce himself to you with that name, or did you just know that?

Becky: No, I was not told to call him Jessup. No, he didn't introduce himself, I just knew that he is Jessup.

B J: The "blue book" that you mentioned as the beginning of your knowledge of symbolic writing, what happened to it?

Becky: I don't know what happened to it.

B J: When you were taken from your Virginia home, you mention being trained at different stations. What are the stations, and where were they located?

Becky: There were three stations in a funny shaped room all open. 1st station was a screen with the symbols, the 2nd was a station that furthered my activation and interaction of the symbolic training, and the 3rd was measuring and sealing the symbolic training within me.

B J: You mention the skin peeling from your hand after the training. Did you ever seek medical help for this?

Becky: No, I couldn't afford the medical bill at the time. It was like a sun burn peel, and it did not hurt at all; there was no pain. I didn't worry about it. It was all peeled off and healed within two weeks time.

B J: You claim to have a certain "connection" with symbolic writing. Are you psychic, and do you have any other special abilities?

Becky: Yes, I'm connected to the Symbolic Writing, by a form of drawing and a special channeling from a lifetime connection with the Elders and the blessed learning of this wonderful ancient symbolic language. These writings I do for people connect them to the Elders, each writing is all about Only that Person and Their Life. Yes, I am psychic and some of my other special abilities are I'm artistic, I write poetry, which has been published, and I sometimes I am able to discern dreams. I do have a few other special abilities, but for now I'll keep those hush, hush!

B J: You come from a large family. Have any of your brothers or sisters had experiences like yours, beside your mother and stepfather?

Becky: Yes, but I would prefer not to comment on my family as to respect their privacy.

B J: How is your relationship with other members of your family? Are you a close family?

Becky: Wonderful, we are a close knit family.

B J: There is some great art work on your site, drawn by your mother. Are these from experiences of yours that you related to her?

Becky: Thank You B J. Yes, they are drawn by my mom and they are of my experiences I have related to her.

B J: Are the experiences still ongoing for your mother and stepfather?

Becky: Yes, but again I feel they should speak of this, not I.

B J: Do you socialize with other alien abductees, or belong to any kind of support group?

Becky: Besides my family, no, I do not belong to any support groups.

B J: Were you or any members of your family subjected to regressive hypnosis?

Becky: Yes, I was and some family members were, but portions of our experiences were consciously remembered as well.

B J: You mention several different types of alien beings on your site. One of them was more like a creature that was in your bedroom. How would you describe this being?

Becky: I was surprised to later see a close resemblance to the chupacabra and thankfully I was protected in the beam of light!

B J: Tell us what you think about Ufology today. Are we making any progress in solving or understanding the mysteries behind UFOs and alien abduction?

Becky: I do not have much information on the whole of Ufology, of what I do know, great strides have been made by video cams and brave people coming forward seems more so today then yesteryears. Also though we are still fighting against disinformation, cover-ups, intimidation, and fear, which I hope some day we will be free of! All in all, I feel we are making positive progress, LEARNING and UNDERSTANDING, YES!

B J: Thank you so much for the time you have spent with me. Do you have any additional comments you would like to relate to our readers?

Becky: Yes, thank you, B J. There will be more added to my web site in the near future on my past and on going experiences. Showers of Blessings to All!

BEAR LAKE MONSTER IN UTAH

YES, SAYS HISTORIAN
Herald-Journal, Logan UT
By Kelly Hafen
staff writer

The first documented siting of the Bear Lake Monster was in July of 1868 by a number of pioneer settlers.

Their recorded witness was not only the beginning of a number of personal accounts of the Bear Lake Monster as well as other such aquatic species in Northern Utah, says Monsterologist Will Bagley, but also the beginning of a sort of identity for people who live in the area.

"It is those stories that make us a people and make us who we are," he said. "The telling of that human experience is absolutely a wonderful adventure."

In a talk titled "The Bear Lake Monster and Utah's Other Infamous Aquatic Animals," Bagley spoke Thursday to his audience about what he says is evidence that supports the existence of this reptilian beast located in the Caribbean of the Rocky Mountains. The speech was funded by the Utah Humanities Council and given to a full room at the Logan Justice Center.

"The history of the Bear Lake Monsters deserves serious consideration," Bagley said, explaining that the Bear Lake Monster(s) travels in pods, which indicates there may be more than one freshwater serpent.

As Utah's self-proclaimed leading monsterologist, a historical consultant and an author of several books, Bagley defended that this creature, which has been described as a sort of serpent no shorter than 195 feet that can travel up to 60 mph, is supported by anthropological evidence from Shonsone tales relating to the Bear Lake Monster.

But he said the most compelling evidence was established by early leaders of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the many supportive articles printed in the Deseret Morning News.

Bagley sites several prominent religious members, including Brigham Young, George Q. Cannon, John Taylor, Lorenzo Snow and Joseph F. Smith, as strong believers in the Bear Lake Monster. All but Brigham Young, claimed they had seen the serpent, he said.

"The Deseret News refused to back down on reporting about the Bear Lake Monster," he said. "And although he never saw, Brigham Young not only believed in the Bear Lake Monster, he invested in the Bear Lake Monster."

In devising a trap for the Monster, early settlers made use of 300 yards of steel cable, a buoy and a rope used as a leader for a hook baited with a sheep. Bagley said Brigham Young himself donated the rope to trap the Caribbean serpent.

"This is among the most compelling pieces of evidences about the Bear Lake Monster," Bagley said.

Bagley said the trap was successful because sheep often disappeared. But the Bear Lake Monster was never caught.

"Clearly we're dealing not with a resilient animal that can deal with a number of environmental challenges. But one that is very smart and can figure out how to get sheep off of a hook," he said.

Besides the Bear Lake Monster and among the belief of lake monsters worldwide, Bagley entertains the idea of several "Other Infamous Aquatic Outlaws" throughout Utah. He includes in the list of inhabited waters Panguitch, Sevier, Utah and the Great Salt Lakes.

He said there have been more recent and more believable reports on the existence of a Utah Lake monster.

Among reports of sitings of a Utah Lake monster from duck hunters, fishermen and children, there has been physical evidence in the form of a recovered skull exhibiting a single horn. "Which indicates that we have a unicorn-style lake monster in Utah Lake," Bagley quipped.

Stories of a Salt Lake monster lacked credibility, Bagley said. This monster is described as more reptilian, resembling a crocodile. But crocodiles would have a hard time living in water as salty as the Great Salt Lake, Bagley said.

"All the reports come of the Salt Lake Monster from scurrilous gentiles who were all drunk out of their heads when they actually spotted the Salt Lake Monster," he said. "We have been unable to link the Salt Lake Monster in with the family of lake monsters that I believe survive to this day in Utah."

But even Bagley admitted he once had his doubts about the Bear Lake Monster. He questioned its existence until he heard a personal story about an encounter with the creature from Bear Lake resident Brian Hirschi, who owns the pontoon-boat replica of the Bear Lake Monster.

Hirchi told Bagley that it was his "civic duty that finally compelled Brian to come forward to warn people to be on the lookout for the Bear Lake Monster because it is still alive and lurking." Bagley said.

The above monsters are not the only ones reported. Wallowa Lake in eastern Oregon is known to have a similar "monster" in it. Back when only Indians lived in the area they reported seeing this undulating creature. Then there is the Ogopogo in Okanagan Lake at Kelowna, BC. Pictures have been taken of that one. I believe these are hold overs from the dinosaur age. And what about "Nessie?" That one is well known. - Aileen

UPDATE TO THE GREAT WHITE CHIEF

THE GREAT WHITE CHIEF - BLOG ON FEBRUARY 20, 2007

(Annotated) The Great Indian Conventions which have been held in Michocan, Mexico, have resulted in the complete amalgamation of all the Indian tribes and nations of the Western Hemisphere, a united people under the Great White Chief. So impressive was this Great White Chief, Eachta Eacha Na, (Mighty and Wise One) that he was unanimously elected as chief of all chiefs and their law giver and teacher. Under his leadership they have determined to be and remain a united people, by casting aside all enmity, hatred, malice, and bickering and by recognizing the blood brotherhood of their people under One God and one leadership. The following story of the Indian movement we pass on to you for all it is worth, knowing that many will find it of great interest at this time.

The Chigarau Indians are a nation of very light skinned Indians living in the southern part of Old Mexico. Their beautiful walled city lies in an almost inaccessible section of the high mountainous regions deep in the south of Mexico almost as far as Guatemala. It lies at an elevation of about 1200 feet, within this secluded valley, where it has remained untouched and unspoiled by the evils of civilization. It was built long before the time of Christ. Their habitations cover an area about nine and one half miles long by about eleven miles wide, or about a hundred square miles......

UPDATE TO "THE GREAT WHITE CHIEF" - sent in by "Doc" in Utah.

The 33rd Each Ta Eacha Na is named same as his father, Joseph, AKA Warm South Wind, his passport name is Jose or Joseph Rivera. In 1972 he was a student at a now defunct Indian college in California when he came to Utah to attend a white/inidian conference in West Jordan, Utah, called the Indian Unity Caravan. There are tapes of that conference where Warm South Wind, "Mad Bear" Anderson and Thomas Banyacya spoke:http://db3-sql.staff.library.utah.edu/lucene/AV/A0800/A0874.xml/ContainerList
Use FIND ON THIS PAGE found under EDIT at the top of your page and use the words: Warm South Wind in the search engine to find the 3 tapes he is on.

My friend (I won't name her) was in her early 30s when she went with Zula Brinkerhoff (now deceased) to this meeting in 1972. (Google her name, she wrote many books on indians and was a white adopted as a Daughter of David Monongye, Keeper of the Hopi Prophecy, a traditionalist Hopi) She told me just 2 weeks ago that she met Warm South Wind and talked to him personally at that meeting in 1972. She said that he wore white indian clothing with a single feather in his head band and had a big smile and a magnetic personality.

Then, 6 weeks ago, I was going through a stack of papers on my desk and found a group of papers with a strange clip on them. I went through them and found the name Joseph Steven Mauger. He claims to have felt the desire to go meet this white Indian prophet. He flew to Guatemala to the nearest airport and was hoping to find someone that could take him to the God Star City and meet this chief/prophet. He was met there by a young Indian from the city who told him that they knew he was coming and that he was not welcome to come. It is by invitation only. They got his name and address and 2 months later, he was invited. He flew back and was escorted 5 days through the mountains to the city where he stayed the traditional 14 days where he was instructed and then told not to share what he had learned with anyone. In 1997 Joseph Mauger claims that the Indian prophet came to Salt Lake City, Utah with his counselors and his 12 apostles. I think that this is the same Warm South Wind / Joseph Rivera.

These papers I mysteriously had on my desk mentioned that he has spoken on the Dr. Jack Stockwell radio show out of Salt Lake City in 1995. With help from friends, we located him last Sunday and are having him speak this saturday to a small group that have beliefs in this indian prophet/chief and his future work.

There are a few rare books on Eachta Eacha Na. There is: THE GREAT WHITE CHIEF and THE COMING INDIAN PROPHET (2 books in one) by Norman Pierce / Utah (now deceased). THE GREAT WHITE CHIEF AND THE VALLEY OF THE BLUE MOON by Mother Mary (cover name). A third book easy to be had has been compiled together by a friend of mine Larry Garmus / Utah. The book is called: THE COMING INDIAN PROPHET ($20 includes postage / I stock this book at my office) and a 4th book: THE ONE LIKE UNTO MOSES, THE BRANCH PROPHET by Rhea Kunz and available from my friend Lynn Bishop / Utah (801-465-2157)

STAR GOD CITY

In the early 1950's there was an organization of Indians from Canada, the United States, Mexico and South America known as the "League of Nations Pro-American Indians." The purpose of the organization was to further the cause of the Lamanites, Indians who, with blood of the White, had been designated by Joseph Smith as Chosen of God.

At that time, a meeting was held in Independence by the chiefs of the organization to "adopt the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (mormons) as the State Church of the Indian Nations.

At the meeting a matter was brought up that was of extreme importance for it pertained to the most carefully guarded of the "secrets." The matter was the city of White Indians located in Guatemala. The city is called "Star God City," in commemoration of the visit of the white-bearded god who had visited the ancestors of the American Indians of Guatemala. It was from his symbol, the Morning Star, that the name "Star God City" was derived. Star God City is located near El Gelbo, Guatemala, and is on the shore of a lake. Around the city is a limestone wall. In each of the four sides is a gate. Besides the dwellings, within the walls are four temples.

The language of the White Indians is of the old Mayan people or, as Latter-Day Saints believe, the original tongue of the Lamanites and Nephites. Anyone visiting the city would need two interpreters, one versed in Spanish, the other in Mayan.

According to reports, the people of Star God City, are looking forward with great longing to the "Second coming of the Star God", of Jesus Christ and the building of the Holy City in which the Star God will dwell.

At the 1951 conference in Independence it was reported that White Indians of Star God City have records of their people dating back to ancient times. Their belief is that the story of Esther (Biblical Book of Esther) corroborates the records. In fact, their belief is that the Book of Esther verifies the "truthfulness of the Book of Mormon."

Discussed at the meeting were the records kept by the Guatemala White Indians. Containing history of the deepest past, not only of Indians of Central America but most of the tribes of North America as well, all is inscribed on metal plates.

THE HUM

From God Like Productions forum.
It is amazing what you can find on GLP and good that you can coordinate in this fashion. The following are from persons hearing the hum and the thud and the vibrations under their homes.

Are you hearing and feeling any rumbling coming from underneath the ground in your area?

My wife and I, my older brother, and my mom and stepdad have all noticed that there is a sound and a feel of rumbling coming from underground that occurs a few times a day. (My younger brother lives in the city of Raleigh and has not noticed it) This started about a year ago and is more frequent recently. It almost feels as if heavy machinery like a dumptruck were moving back and forth about 30 feet underground. It is not very frequent at each of our locations, varying between 1-3 times a day.You can hear it and feel it. It sounds and feels like a fully-loaded dumptruck going by on a street close by your location. Except with this, it feels and sounds like it is coming from beneath you. Also, when you go outside, you can actually hear and feel it less- and there is clearly nothing outside above ground causing it- go back inside and you can hear and feel it a little better. It just has a feeling and sound so that you know that it is coming from underground.The sound and feeling feels like it is getting closer and closer to you, and then it dies and ceases fairly quickly, usually all lasting about 10-20 seconds.[We live in Eastern North Carolina just East of Raleigh and we dont have earthquakes often. We only have felt ones maybe once or twice in 10 years, and they are usually very light. The last felt one we had was 2 years ago and was centered near Richmond, Va.]Have any of you noticed this rumbling from underground also? It is very unusual and has us a little intrigued.
____________
NO WAY! I am in Goldsboro about 5 miles west of Seymour Johnson AFB and we have felt it here also! We had a hard time at first noticing and discerning it due to the lound fighter jets and other aircraft that flying around here. But yeah, we have definately noticed this. No Aircraft outside or dumptrucks or whatever when this happens. Whatever it is we have been feeling is coming from below ground, kind of like a localized earthquake. just like you described, it feels like something is coming straight at you like its getting ready to hit you, and then it goes way. This is just too damn odd! Ive got to show this thread to my buds.
________________
Wow, that's too weird I felt it this morning here in Michigan around 7:30ish.
________________
Yeah, yes, ja, in Deutschland/Germany the same/das Gleiche!
________________
We hear it here too Indiana.
________________
Been feeling/hearing these same rumblings up here in New Hampshire, too - several times a day - much stronger and more frequent this past week, including tonight.Also hearing more military flights overhead last 5 nights.
________________
I listened and no it's not like that at all. It's like a cat diesle is right outside at idle and sometimes the siding of the house will pick up a harmonic vibration to go along with it. I've reported this here more than a few times. Glad some other people hear it too.When you learn of subterrians and such it dosn't take a rocket scientist to figure out whats up.
________________
Once I lived on the side of a hill. I was playing chess with my son. As we were staring at the board we heard this rumble that got louder and louder and we both thought it was a truck coming up the street. Only when it got to our location the whole earth rolled. Or it could be an underground base...
________________
Tunneling equipment and secret base building would be my guess.I'll relate a story here. My former brother inlaw worked for a company that manufactured steel security doors.The company was helping to build a prison within the gates of Grissom AFB in Peru Indiana.I told him to ask around about the rail station there thats three levels down below ground.Well he did and he was told never to come on the base property again. He didn't get fired so I was relieved about that but he related to me that they were not happy about his question to who ever it was he asked and they threw him out of there for the rest of the project.

A special website called the Taos Hum Homepage, now reports that “nearly every state in the U.S. has at least one hum hearer report, including Alaska and Hawaii.” It says the largest number of reports are coming from the southwest, the Pacific northwest and southeastern states. Also “the hum has caused such problems in the U.K. and Sweden that hum-hearer support groups have formed there.”Towns in Italy and Mexico also are reporting humming.

Brooklyn, New York, where a humming noise has been bothering residents in the Bay Ridge area for the past year, chiropractor Dr. Concetta Butera says she has spent thousands trying to muffle the noise from her office and her sixth-floor apartment where she has lived for 18 years. She has installed soundproof windows, invested in a sound machine and even hired an acoustical consultant. The source of the sound has not been found.A nearby resident, Rita Majurinen, says the hum is “such a low tone that I can feel it in my body.” She said the noise keeps her awake at night.In Dorset, England, the sound has been dubbed the “Swanage hum.” It is described as a low noise that is felt as a vibration. During the last three years that it has been going on, people complain that it not only keeps them awake, it causes things to vibrate loose. One man said the hinge pins were driven from his door.The Largs hum, in the Scotland town of Largs, has been buggering residents there since the 1980s. People there say it causes headaches, chest pain, nausea and even nose bleeds.

A scientist investigating reports of a strange humming noise across Auckland says special equipment sensitive enough to pick up the sound will have to be used to solve the mystery.Massey University scientist Tom Moir - along with Fakhrul Alam - has been investigating reports from up to 30 people for the past month.

Yes, quite a bit the last couple of weeks. (Central Iowa)

S. Utah. odd and very resonant rumblings here . I have felt the last few days. sound more like distant explosions...probably blasting...but feeling like rumbling terrorists and illumaniti digging under my house.
_____________________
Wow.I thought we were the only ones!We're in Greensboro, NC and get the same thing, but along with the rumbling sounds, there are also loud underground 'thuds' every once-in-a-while.It almost seems as if there are large trucks hauling something very large and very heavy, then when they get to their destination (which happens to be very close to our home) they drop it.
______________________
why not find the locality .. using a stethoscope .. and start to dig down ....! If your saying its like ten feet below your feet - then that shouldnt be too hard to dig down to .. and you may find yourself ... opening a hole in a military tunnel ... ! That would be fun to investigate - they aint gonna see you coming through the roof their tunnel and having a look round ..! Man you could maybe even get some listenning devices down there etc etc .. _______________________
Central Wisconsin here. I don't hear this, but our Peking ducks do. For the past several days, been going nuts, frantic, trying to escape and hide, that kind of behavior. I'd check the live seismographs and most often a slight global shudder had just occurred. The Chinese use their Peking ducks as quake predictors. Sounds like the US is under more stress than usual! New Madrid about to go?
_______________________
When you get to mapping all these sites, you'd better stick the central southern area of UK on it too. We had a deep rumble last night - not the first time either, but definitely the heaviest - which had me running out into the garden to see what was passing by. I live way out in the sticks and there is only a track and country road near the house, but nothing was passing by. There are Porton Down and Boscombe Down government establishments, plus the military ranges on Salisbury Plain, which are all fairly near, but no activity from them.... not on the surface, anyway. We also have Army and Royal Air Force Apaches, Lynx and Chinooks, and Navy Merlins which use our house as an unofficial marker on the low level route to the training area, but nothing flying by at the time.So, what is this world wide phenomenon? Is the earth moving for you? Or are "the tunnels" being brought into use all of a sudden? There's something going on, that's for sure.Good 'ere, init?

I have some friends near Suffolk Va(near Langley,Ft Monroe, several military sections) that has been hearing these underground rumblings off and on for years.

Just about a month ago I heard some rumblings just underneath our apartment. It shook the whole damn place. Now, I live in the SE quadrant of USA where there are no EQ, at least none that I know about. Tell me, what the hell is going on? Damn Reptilians.

Been rumbling again in the last hour here in Michigan.

several times in the past year around 2 am i've heard a humming noise also sounding alittle like an ideling tractor trailor. i live next to a busy street so i thought thats what it was. all the times i went out back to look at the street and there's nothing there. they last only a couple of minutes then go away. i've returned to my bedroom puzzled...i live in south texas.

AND HERE IS THE ANSWER FROM MY FRIEND - ONE WHO KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON - AILEEN

My Rothschild source said that the underground rail system is three levels. Top one is least secure (for regular transport of materiel & nonessential personnel - meaning us cattle, when the time comes) and the deepest is most secure. Requires "black card" clearance to use the secure levels. At the time (early 90's) there was at least one main East/West line from one end of the country to the other with many North/South spurs to major cities. I would imagine the way the boring systems have been running over the last few decades they've established at least one other main East/West route with links between them by now. The trains are said to be 400 mph+ maglev systems, and the 'rumbling' is the pressure waves from the trains moving through the tunnels. The tunnel boring machines were developed in the 50's using huge screws with carbide tipped blades, with upgrades as better technology became available from the nuclear & laser industries and such.

The tunnel systems are probably worldwide by now, as TPTB are spread out all over.

ANGELS TO THE RESCUE

(Or were they angels?)

At the outset of World War One, the British Expeditionary Force was pinned down near the French/Belgian border town of Mons, whereupon something quite inexplicable is reported to have taken place. Kevin McClure reinvestigates contradictory rumors of divine intervention.


Debunking is a pretty merciless process. It is seldom that, once debunked, an account of a supposedly paranormal event will ever again achieve credibility.

In the vast majority of cases, this is no loss. I have helped dispatch a number of claims of the extraordinary, and I'm happy to have done so. Much of what is claimed and reported has no substance at all, and we can well do without it.

Occasionally though, something of value and significance risks being trampled in the rush to purge what seems unacceptable. This can occur where a rational explanation easily deals with a number of the elements of a complex investigation, but not necessarily with all the elements. The reports arising from alleged events during the retreat of the British Expeditionary Force from Mons in 1914 constitute just such a complex and confusing case. Resoundingly debunked since the summer of 1915 onwards, it is time to reconsider these reports. I think that an injustice has been done, though the details of that injustice remain difficult to define.

The Mons legends have always fascinated me. They bring together several of my own areas of interest: the Great War, religious visions, divine intervention, folklore, the writer Arthur Machen and the role the paranormal plays in the lives of people -- and nations -- under great stress. I've been gathering material on the subject for more than 10 years, but have only recently had the opportunity to bring it all together.

Many will be aware of reports that Saint George and the Agincourt bowmen -- or maybe some angels, or possibly both -- came between the British and German forces, halting the German advance long enough for an organized withdrawal and regrouping to take place. Many, too, will have read that the reports were all a myth, arising entirely from the retelling - Chinese Whispers style -- of a short story by Arthur Machen entitled "The Bowmen," first published in the London Evening Standard on 29 September 1914. It's an explanation Machen himself originated in the summer of 1915. It was probably misleading then, and has been ever since.

If anything wonderful happened, then it happened in the last days of August 1914, as superior German forces pushed a tired, but heroic, BEF back through France from the Belgian border. I must stress that no contemporary history of the war mentions any visionary event of any kind, the earliest account from a named military source being published in 1931, though apparently taken from letters written at the time. Certainly, when Machen's exquisite little story of a beleaguered British soldier invoking Saint George, and the saint arriving with a host of bowmen to drive back the Germans, first appeared in print, the public had read nothing of any claim of divine intervention. Few, though, doubted that we had 'God on our Side.'

When 'The Bowmen' was first published, the two leading paranormal journals of the time, Light and the Occult Review, both reported on its content and both inquired of Maclien whether there was any truth in the tale. He replied that there was not, and both reported back to their readership accordingly. By the end of October 1914, it seemed that the matter had been forgotten.

One of the intriguing mysteries of the Mons legends is what happened next. After a full six months without tales of bowmen, or anything else, an account appeared in Light for 24 April 1915 under the title "The Invisible Allies: Strange Story from the Front." This refers back to Machen's story and continues in part:

"A few days ago, we received a visit from a military officer, who asked to see the issue of Light containing the article in question. He explained that, whether Mr. Machen's story was pure invention or not, it was certainly stated in some quarters that a curious phenomenon had been witnessed by several officers and men in connection with the retreat from Mons. It took the form of a strange cloud interposed between the Germans and the British. Other wonders were heard or seen in connection with this cloud which, it seems, had the effect of protecting the British against the overwhelming hordes of the enemy."

"They therefore turned round and faced the enemy, expecting nothing but instant death, when to their wonder they saw, between them and the enemy a whole troop of angels."

Early in May, a fuller version of a similar account turned up in the All Saints, Clifton, Parish Magazine. This both inquired of Maclien whether there was any truth in what was quoted in papers and magazines all over the country, attracting attention from the national press and also from senior churchmen wanting to present patriotic material in their sermons. It seems that the editor of the Parish Magazine had met the daughter of one Canon Marrable, who relayed to him what she had been told by "...two officers, both of whom had themselves seen the angels who saved our left wing from the Germans when they came right upon them during the retreat from Mons.

They expected annihilation, as they were almost helpless, when to their amazement they stood like dazed men, never so much as touched their guns: nor stirred till we had turned round and escaped by some crossroads. One of Miss Marrable's friends, who was not a religious man, told her that he saw a troop of angels between us and the enemy. He has, it was stated in some quarters been a changed man ever since. The other had been witnessed by sever man she met in London.

She asked him if he had heard the wonderful stories of angels. He said he had seen them himself, and under the following circumstances:

"While he and his company were retreating, they heard the German cavalry tearing after them. They saw a place where they thought a stand might be made, with sure hope of safety; but before they could reach it, the German cavalry were upon them. They therefore turned round and faced the enemy, expecting nothing but instant death, when to their wonder they saw, between them and the enemy, a whole troop of angels. The German horses turned round terrified and regularly stampeded. The men tugged at their bridles, while the poor beasts tore away in every direction from our men."

In the meantime, stories featuring bowmen were also appearing, the first in, of all places, the Roman Catholic paper The Universe for 30 April 1915: "The story is told by a Catholic officer in a letter from the front, and is told with a simplicity which shows the narrator's own conviction of its genuiness... "A party of about thirty men was cut off in a trench, when the officer said to his men, 'Look here, we must either stay here and be caught like rats in a trap, or make a sortie against the enemy. We haven't much of a chance but personally I don't want to be caught here.' The men all agreed with him, and with a yell of 'St. George for England' they dashed out into the open. The officer tells how, as they ran on, he became aware of a large company of men with bows and arrows going along with them, and even leading them on against the enemy's trenches, and afterwards when he was talking to a German prisoner, the man asked him who was the officer on a great white horse who led them, for although he was such a conspicuous figure, they had none of them been able to hit him. I must also add that the German dead appeared to have no wounds on them. The officer who told the story (adds the writer of the letter) was a friend of ours. He did not see St. George on the white horse, but he saw the archers with his own eyes."

And so it went on through the summer and autumn on 1915. Many accounts were published, though some were deliberately fraudulent, and at no time was an account by any named individual proved true. Arthur Machen wrote some more delightful stories along the lines of 'The Bowmen,' with a long introduction explaining that all the accounts derived from his own story, and the resulting book sold remarkably well. Other writers backed the reality of some or all of the legends and one, 'The Showmen,' even parodies the whole affair. Phyllis Campbell, apparently a front-line nurse, mixed some of the legends in with the 'atrocity mythos' that prevailed at the time, recounting the acts of the ghastly Hun in gut-wrenching detail, but providing no evidence for either the paranormal or the psychopathic. The Mons Legends achieved wide publicity and great popularity.

UFO Over Riga
by Paul Stonehill

Few rumors about this incident had circulated in the USSR. I was aware of some, but until 1996 did not have the complete story.

In August of 1961, a test flight of the most modern Soviet fighter-interceptor jet was to take place. The top brass wanted to film everything, so as to demonstrate the might of Soviet Air Force. A film crew, headed by Victor Dudinsh, was commissioned for that purpose. They set up their equipment in the vicinity of the airplane, next to the take-off and landing strip. Over one hundred military officers had been waiting to see the air show. But nothing happened. The jet was fine the day before, but now the pilot could not start the engine. At the same time a sinister sound pierced through the air, and a strange object appeared in the sky.

It appeared from nowhere, and everyone was able to see it at once. They started running in every direction. Fear gripped everyone, and panic ensued. Dudinsh, a real professional, fought this fear to film the occurrence. He aimed the camera at the object in the sky, pushed the start button, and ran to the shelter. The object did not descend, but rather moved in a strange fashion. It would disappear, and reappear, but slightly further from its original position. This went on for a few minutes, and then something else took place. An entity inside the UFO moved around intensively. The object was illuminated by sun; blue sky in the background, i.e., the visibility was fine. Its shape was that of a triangle, its color violet. A few minutes later and the UFO suddenly dimmed. It remained in the sky, but became somewhat invisible. As its brightness disappeared, so did the fear.

The military crawled out from various holes and shelters, and discussed the event. Not one doubted the ET nature of the object. Dudinsh ran back to his camera, and saw that it was working, but the film was already spent. He wanted to take it back to the studio, but the airfield commander confiscated it. The KGB arrived some time later, and took the film away. Dudinsh, however, convinced the airfield commander to take witness statements from the hundreds of eyewitnesses. Most signed it with trepidation. The pilot was the first to sign; he also mentioned that it was probably the UFO that caused the strange behavior of on-board equipment, and the dead engine of his jet.

Dudinsh and his colleagues did find out some time later that the UFO was filmed. Those who witnessed the object had been warned to forget everything and keep silent. Somehow the information about this UFO leaked to the West, and letters of inquiry followed. So did offers to buy the film. To diffuse the situation, the Soviet media published a report that the object sighted that night was a meteorological probe. For many long years no further information came from the KGB archives. I tried to get more details, but all my contacts could find out nothing.

S. Boyev pursued this case, too. He published his account in the NLO magazine (Issue# 13, 1996). The perestroika was in the air, and Boyev was able to get permission to see the film. He was preparing materials for his documentary about UFOs over the USSR. The KGB, damaged by glastnost and changes sweeping the USSR, relented and released everything. Famous Soviet proponent of UFO phenomenon, a scientist from the Academy of Sciences, V.S. Troitsky, assisted Boyev. Still, even then the authorities did not recommend them to disseminate the information. The first public showing of the film took place in somewhat strange circumstances. The giant hall of the Institute of High Temperatures was filled by hundreds of UFO debunkers. Exactly at midnight the light was turned off, and the crowd breathlessly watched a UFO over the airfield. The film lasted thirty seconds. The next three minutes the audience sat silently, and then discussions literally exploded, and lasted until the morning. Everyone had a UFO story of his own, and everyone there was tired and disgusted by the silence about UFO phenomenon under the Soviet regime. Experts were questioned, and they confirmed: the UFO has nothing to do with weather balloons, probes, or space junk. The object was classified as a cosmic voyager, a phenomenon of extraterrestrial origin, unknown to science. The psychosis-horrible fear- experienced by eyewitnesses was probably caused by powerful and directed infrasonic radiation. Other measurements based on the film and interviews indicated that the object hovered at an altitude of 20 kilometers, and its "base" was more than 200 meters.

The 1961 Riga UFO left a trace in the history of Soviet UFO phenomena, a trace that the KGB could not hide.

To those of you interested in the current UFO research, remember the names of present-day Russian and Ukrainian ufologists who doggedly pursue the study of the phenomenon, in spite of the great difficulties experienced by their countries. I have nothing but respect for people like Aleksandr Rempel, Yuri Smirnov, Nikolay Subbotin, Gherman Kolchin, Mikhail Gershtein, Vadim Chernobrov, Dr. Rubtsov, and others like them. I hope that I and Philip Mantle will be able to tell you about them and their research in our new book (there is more to the Riga 1961 incident, too). And if any of you are truly interested in Russian/CIS ufology, let the information I have provided here be your first step on a road of discovery.

And I would add to the names, Dr. Valery Uvarov, a famous researcher on the subject of pyramids, UFOs, and many other sciences. - Aileen

FROM ALTERNATE PERCEPTIONS MAGAZINE

Alien Memories or Lucid Dreams?
by Brent Raynes, Editor

Last year, I received this letter from a man now living in Tennessee. My wife and I, and Sandy Nichols of the Alien Research Group, visited him and found him to seem quite credible and sincere.

“My first conscious experiences were at the age of 9 years old and I am now going on 27. I have been researching this and seeking out answers for 18 years. I’ve gotten past the initial emotional/psychological shock. Now I’m just totally bent on getting to the bottom of this, or as close to it as I can. I’ve done a lot of my own detective work and I’m looking for other people like me who have different kinds of keen insight to add to my tapestry of theories. Just because people’s experiences with the greys starts to dwindle or their presence in our lives starts to fade, or the public’s interest fades, does not make this issue any less important to me. I will probably spend the rest of my life trying to figure out this riddle. But it’s not easy. Most reactions to my search are that I’m crazy, it’s demon related or evil, or just plain old disinterest.

Back in 2001, I wrote to Whitley Streiber explaining my situation and that I had read all of his books. He wrote back saying just this: ‘Read my books.’ That’s disinterest!! I wondered if the person replying had even read my letter.

And the spiritual lady that I mentioned earlier in this letter gave me the impression that she could care less. I had one lady in 2002 that just plain refused to hypnotize me. So I’ve had the brush a few times. I don’t want you to get the impression that I’m going around acting totally crazy to these people or even getting too intense with them. I always handle my interactions and affairs with other people using the most candid and professional attitudes possible. Even though, that is the case, the cards just have not managed to line up for me on this one.

“I will use this part of my letter to share some of my experiences. I will go back to the beginning. I grew up in rural Wisconsin, in a town called Waukesha. My father built a house while my mother was pregnant with me in 1979. It was a rural setting and isolated. My neighbors were cows and corn fields, which I enjoyed. I spent a lot of time alone as a child in the forest and corn fields around my house. I had good parents, we went to church on Sundays and my father did a good job of providing for us as a computer programmer.

“I was six years old when Communion first hit the shelves of bookstores and news stands. One day, at this time (1986 or 87) my mother took me to Sears with her (the store) to do some shopping. I wandered off on my own as usual and found myself in the book and magazine section. I couldn’t read at the age of six, but I liked to look at the pictures. I was looking at all the books when I saw the face on the cover of Communion. I took the book off the shelf and took it to my mother and told her she had to buy it and read it to me. She was distracted, and brushed me off telling me to just put it back. I refused and pleaded with her telling her I had to know what was inside this book. She thought it was bizarre but finally caved in and said okay. She read it to me and I was too young to comprehend Whitley’s text and content. My mother had no personal interest in the text and thought it was ridiculous to read me this book that I obviously couldn’t understand. So she gave up and threw away the book. And I forgot about it.

Three years later, at the age of 9, not much had changed. And I was a normal nine year old who was into soccer and martial arts and drawing. My parents had managed to divorce and remarry the year after my mom read me the book, so when I was seven. So I had been living with my mom and step father in a house that was right in town, for about two years and was in third grade at age 9. This is when I started having my first experiences.

The first and most jarring that I can remember happened during the day. My mom and step dad said they had to go out and do some errands that afternoon and I was home alone. I decided to sit on the couch and watch some TV. After awhile I became very tired and retired to my room to take a nap. I went to sleep on my bed for awhile and immediately woke up and realized that I was completely paralyzed and laying flat on my back on the floor, not my bed. And I was also instantly aware of something that was being done to me. This was the most horrifying feeling I think I had ever felt at that age. I went to look with my eyes at who was there and my brain is not capable of remembering what the exact image was, but I couldn’t handle it and some other part of me instantly forced my head straight back all the way in a jerking spasm so that the top of my skull was actually pressed flat against the floor. I screamed and cried violently and hysterically. I wanted to look again but I wouldn’t let myself. This is when I noticed that there was a tall wooden book shelf to the right of my head and all the way at the top of it was a white chest plate statue, like the ones of Mozart or Beethoven that people set on their pianos. That’s when it became too much and I passed out cold.

I woke up with what felt like seconds later on the floor in my room, with tears still on my face and immediately ran to the kitchen and grabbed the biggest knife I could find. I frantically tore apart the whole house thinking they were still there somewhere. I was hysterical and ready to kill what I had encountered.

My mom and step dad walked in at that point and saw me with this big knife and crazy look in my eyes and got very scared. They tried to calm me down and ask me what was wrong and all I could manage to get out was ‘They were here.’ And my mom said, ‘Who are they?” And I couldn’t say anything else but ‘They were here.’

“It took them a long time to calm me down that day and there was talk of putting me in a psychiatric ward, but nothing ever came of it. And we never talked of it again.

A few months later, I had the most conscious and amazing encounter I have ever had. I was asleep in my waterbed at about 2 a.m. in my room. I woke up feeling totally normal, nothing was out of the ordinary. I was just really thirsty. I had a night stand with a glass of water on it about 2 feet away from my bed. I reached over to the glass and while I was reaching, I was face down over the edge of my bed. This is when I realized I was literally face to face with a creature with unforgettable large black eyes. His face was literally 10 inches away from mine, staring at me blankly. I was frozen with fear. I couldn’t move, like a deer in headlights. He was laying flat on his back on the floor, nestled right up against my bed. We both just sat there staring at each other for what felt like forever. He didn’t move. I didn’t move. I kept waiting for him to do something but he just kept staring at me. Eventually I regained my composure and slowly rolled back over and pulled the covers over my head, shaking and sweating with fear. I stayed like that till morning came and sunlight peered through my blanket. When I felt it was safe I pulled the covers back and looked around. Everything was normal but I had sweat so much you could’ve wrung my sheets out and filled a bucket. I told my mom about it and she said it was just a dream. I said, ‘But mom, I never went back to sleep. I was awake!!’ She just brushed it off and told me about a dream she had had one night when she woke up and there was a baseball player standing at the foot of her bed.”

IDA KANNENBERG

In 1940 Ida May Kannenberg met a UFO while traveling through the desert outside Los Angeles. She was tricked into thinking her help was needed and as she thought she was giving blood they were putting implants into her body. She met some of the people she’d later be taking psychic dictation from but forgot all about them when the voices began in 1968.

Ida’s communicators are time travelers from the time of Atlantis and a being from the beginning of time on Earth (Thoth). Her closest collaborator, or “live-in companion”, was Hweig, now deceased, who was the child of a time traveler and a Russian of royal birth.

Since then, Ida has gone from nearly being driven mad by them to becoming the most organized and systematic thinker and writer on UFO and psychic events. Although Ida never takes what they tell her at face value, her experiences with them during the last 37 years have made her extremely interesting and knowledgeable. At 90 she is the Sybil and Jung of this era of UFOs and abductions by aliens.

Her guides impelled Ida towards studies and activities that have developed her as a person that have also expanded our understanding of what it is they intend here. As they invaded her life and mind she, in turn, learned about them.

They say they wish us to become good cosmic citizens, to develop towards our rightful inheritance as participators in the activities of the Creative Forces, and to make us realize all of the things we have left undone—our Species Karma. They want us to think. They want us to compromise so that we’ll know peace. They want us to leave war behind and take care of each other and our planet. They want us to be mindful of our mistakes.

In order to talk to us they have to use our own minds and personalities to create teaching illusions for us---so much safer for them and these illusions have the same effect as if real for us. Those abductees who have nasty experiences should look deep within themselves. These abductees offered, through their caring, to help mankind see their omissions “relative to the Natural Forces of the Earth, and through ritual acts, often encompassing great distress and agony, we are initiated into the path toward collaboration with the Creative Forces.” Unfortunately, we have forgotten how to understand symbolism and instead take these created illusions as real. Their messages and metaphors have missed their mark! Ida’s writings are an attempt to help us understand the symbolic representations of ideas that will direct and preserve our future.

“UFO people are the direct communicators but outside, above, below, beyond, beside are tiers and hierarchies of other participants in the most complex and extravagant of schemes to awaken Man to his true destiny.”

GERRY IRWIN

The story of Private Gerry Irwin reads like something from Rod Sterling's Twilight Zone

Witness if you will, Private First Class Gerry Irwin. Private Irwin has been on leave in Nampa, Idaho and is on his way back to his barracks at Fort Bliss, Texas. The city that he just left is Cedar City, Utah, but in just a few moments he will reach a place six miles down Route 14, a place that's six miles into.... The Twilight Zone...

Gerry Irwin was a Nike missile technician at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. On February 28, 1959, he was driving back from Nampa, Idaho, where he had been on leave. At Cedar City, Utah, he turned southeast on Route 14. About six mile from the turnoff, he spotted a glowing object that seemed to come to earth in a field just off the road. Thinking he had seen an airplane crash, or at least a forced landing, he stopped to see if he could give assistance. He wrote a note and placed it on the steering wheel of his car: Have gone to investigate possible plane crash. Please call law enforcement officers.

Then, he wrote STOP in large letters on the side of his car.

About thirty minutes later, a fish and game inspector stopped. He took the note to the Cedar City Sheriff's Office, and Sheriff Otto Pfief gathered a party of volunteers and returned to the site. When they searched, they found no trace of a plane crash, but they found Private Gerry Irwin unconscious in the field. Ninety minutes had passed since he had first seen the glowing object.

Irwin was taken to the hospital in Cedar City, where a Dr. Broadbent could find nothing physically wrong with him. Irwin was merely asleep, and could not be awakened! Dr. Broadbent could find no explanation for this, so his diagnosis was "hysteria", meaning that his condition could not be attributed to any organic disease.

When Private Irwin eventually awoke, he felt perfectly well, but he was mystified by the glowing object he had seen. He was also confused by the fact that his jacket was missing. The sheriff's search party stated that he was not wearing it when they found him.

Irwin was flown back to Fort Bliss and placed under observation at William Beaumont Army Hospital for several days, after which he was released as fit to return to duty.

The episode was not over yet, though. Some days later, Irwin fainted on base, and a few days after that he fainted while in the city of El Paso. He was taken to Southwest General Hospital where he was found once again to be asleep and unwakeable. About twenty four hours later, he awoke asking, "Were there any survivors?" He behaved as if he had lost all memory of the period between seeing the object on February 28th in Utah, and waking up on March 16th in El Paso.

Once again, he was taken to William Beaumont Army Hospital, where he was placed under observation by psychiatrists. After one month, extensive testing could find nothing wrong with him, so he was released on April 17.

The next day, Irwin was seized by a powerful impulse that made him take a bus from El Paso to Cedar City, arriving on April 19. He then walked back to the field in which the Sheriff's party had found him. He found his jacket on a bush. There was a pencil stuck in one of its buttonholes with a piece of paper wound tightly around it. Irwin burned the paper and then seemed to come out of some kind of trance. He could not recall the path back to the road or why he had come there. He made his way back to Cedar City and turned himself in to Sheriff Otto Pfief, who told him about the first incident.

Once again Irwin returned to Fort Bliss and was given psychological examinations. On July 10, he again entered William Beaumont Army Hospital. He was discharged again, but on August 1 he failed to report for duty, and one month later he was listed as a deserter.

DISCUSSION:

The Gerry Irwin story is full of unanswered questions. It was never investigated properly. Irwin had been on leave in Nampa, Idaho. Had he suffered some traumatic event while on leave that might have triggered a dissociative reaction? Did his family live in Nampa, Idaho? Wherever they lived, have they ever been located and contacted? Almost thirty-nine years have passed. Has anyone tried to track down Irwin? The Army doesn't usually let "deserters" just walk away. Did they ever locate him?
The basic story of Gerry Irwin comes from Jim & Coral Lorenzen of the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization who contacted Irwin after he returned to Fort Bliss the last time.

VISIT TO KUILI

Location. Moscow region, Russia
Date: June 20 1990 Time: 0020A

43-year old Zinaida Gavrilova was late to her regular bus route that took her to the local military garrison where she was a resident. When she exited the monorail she realized that the last bus had departed 30 minutes before. So she decided to walk home alone on a straight and narrow road that ran through a pine forest. At night this road was lighted by lanterns, set in 2 rows on both sides of the road.

At about 0020A she approached a 16meter long concrete bridge which was stretched over a small river in the forest. The bridge was also lighted by lanterns. Suddenly she saw a strange column of smoke and when she walked closer to it the column darkened, became dense and transformed into a humanoid figure. The figure was that of a very tall woman in a black dress down to her ankles. Her height was more than 2.5meters; she had a protruding forehead, huge slanted eyes, blue in color, lacking eyebrows or eyelashes. The color of her eyes was of a pure blue, shiny, like mother of pearl. Her face was pale, triangular in shape and sharply narrowed at the bottom, ending in a small pointy chin. Zinaida could not remember the nose or lips. On her head she wore a black oval-shaped helmet, and a black pelerine (cape) fell from her helmet to her shoulders and back. She had very long arms. On her chest area the alien woman had a circle of light, resembling a flat bulb; the light emitted from this light did not illuminate its surroundings.

The alien woman began to speak in a strange feminine but “squeaky” voice. She asked Zinaida, “Where are you going?” Zinaida answered, naming the small military garrison where she lived. Then the alien woman said, “Come with me. Come with me. Come with me”. Zinaida distinctly heard the phrase repeated 3 times. The woman turned her back and began walking away, Zinaida following her.

At this point Zinaida blacked out and later returned to her senses sitting on a bench near the control box to the military garrison. She felt light headed, and her temples ached. Very slowly Zinaida rose and walked to the control post. Surprised to find the control post empty (it was supposed to be manned 24 hours daily) she walked past it and into her 5 story apartment complex belonging to the officer’s staff.

There her son waited for her and asked where had she been, both her son and her husband were getting ready to mount a search for her. Zinaida then looked at her watch and realized that it was already 0130A. Apparently 60 minutes had slipped away from her memory. Zinaida then looked into the mirror of her anteroom and was again surprised to find her hair neatly tied up in a soft bun behind her head; she could not remember who had done that. She briefly recalled the moment when she first saw the column of smoke and then the alien woman and lastly when the woman asked her to come with her. She became hysterical and screamed in horror.

The next day Gavrilova was in a catatonic state, she would fall asleep and then wake up minutes later. In the evening she telephoned a female friend and told her, “I met a witch!” Happily this female friend was connected with Erast Demishev who was an old friend of the main investigator: Alexey Priyma. This last one arranged a hypnotic regression session in order to reconstruct the events of that night. Zinaida agreed to the session and asked for it to be done immediately.

It appeared, according to the results gleaned from the session, that immediately after the alien woman had asked Zinaida to “come with me” Zinaida found herself inside the military stadium which was part of the military garrison. The distance from the stadium to the stone bridge was only about 1km. The football field was lit up by a bright white light. Gavrilova could not explained where the alien woman had gone to, instead she could see a huge silver-colored globe or sphere, about 6-7 meters in diameter, slightly tapered on the bottom. From a hatch on the globe a ladder reached to the ground. The ladder was angular consisting of links, zigzagged in shape.

Near the globe the witness saw two very tall “men” in light gray tight-fitting overalls. The height of each entity was more than 2.5meters. One of them approached Zinaida, took her by the hand and led her to the globe. His touch was icy. Inside the globe the witness saw numerous round and rectangular shaped lights on the walls. When some of the entities touched Zinaida she felt a piercing cold, not painful, but very cold. Besides the tall humanoids, Zinaida saw a small humanoid sitting on an armchair inside the cabin. This other creature had a small body, thin legs and arms, and a large round head. Its eyes were shiny “mother of pearl” color. It did not move while it sat on the armchair. The two very tall humanoid males had broad shoulders, long arms and legs, and slanted eyes.

The humanoids touched Zinaida on numerous occasions but then they began to tell her, “You should come with us”. They didn’t say anything else. Moments later one of the tall humanoids began to twirl Zinaida’s hair into a tight bun on her back. He then sat her on a tall armchair. At this point Zinaida suffered a blackout.

Her next memory was of a tall alien man in the light gray coveralls taking her by her hand, like a child, and leading her outside of the sphere through the opened hatch. At this moment she saw “another world” before her: the sky there was slightly greenish. Later after analyzing her memoirs, obtained during the regression, Gavrilova concluded that she had visited an “artificial planet”, or an artificially created world encased in a huge glassy “sky dome”. Zinaida then saw a long street, on which the globe had landed. At the far end of the street she saw another sphere---of a much larger size than the sphere which had delivered her to this world.

The houses that stood along the street were white, low and long. On top of the roofs and in between the houses the witness saw white rods, a very large number of rods, different in size, some very high others short. The rods which were between the houses were taller than the ones on top of the houses, most of the rods were straight but a few were curved or spirals, everywhere there was white wet sand.

At first Zinaida thought that she was walking alone in the street, but to be more exact, not “walking” in the literal meaning of the world, but floating. But soon she realized that one of the tall male aliens was holding her hand, and he was the one that was walking. The alien man emanated an icy “wave”. He was dressed in gray slippery clothing. Like the tricot of the circus artists---tight fitting. She could not remember his nose and lips. But his eyes were large, with deep eye sockets. He had no eyebrows or eyelashes and his eyes were l ight “mother of pearl” color. No one else was in the street with them.

The alien man slowly walked on the deserted street from one sphere to the other and took Zinaida into the second sphere. While walking he spoke telepathically to Zinaida asking her, “Would you like to say here? You will feel good. You can live here”. But she didn’t agree and said, “I don’t want to live here. I have a family. I can’t leave my husband and son forever. Take me back to the stadium!” The alien man answered, “Ok, we will take you back. But you must stay for a short time in this city. Somebody you are familiar with wants to see you”. Zinaida then asked, “What is the name of this city?” The humanoid answered, “Kuili” They didn’t speak anymore after this.

Inside the other sphere Gavrilova saw several long tables. In between the tables there were armchairs. A very bright light emanated from everywhere in the object. The walls were smooth and bare. Several tall alien women in tight fitting light gray suits were moving around the room. The humanoid then carefully placed Zinaida on the floor. Zinaida then seemed to “freeze” in place unable to move, a sickening, nauseating feeling of complete paralysis seized her entire body. Then one of the alien females, without moving her lips, attempted to convince Zinaida to stay in the city of “Kuili” forever. “You will feel very good in Kuili”, she persisted. Translating her thoughts directly into Zinaida’s brain she said, “Why do you want to return. Why that stupid desire? Stay with us!” But Gavrilova categorically refused to cooperate. Then two of the females grabbed her like “a log” and placed her on one of the shiny white tables. On the place where Zinaida had a scar on her chest area, the aliens pressed a small rectangular shaped plate. A large blue screen then appeared near the table after emerging from somewhere below. On the screen a lighted pulsating dot immediately became visible. Then the alien female took her body from the table. The tall alien man again grabbed her by her hands and took her out of the sphere. While leaving, the alien woman who had been trying to convince Zinaida to stay in Kuili forever said, “If you like we will again come and get you and take you ourselves”. “I agree to visit Kuili one more time, ---said Zinaida. ---But you again would have to return me back to the stadium”. “The next time you would not want to return to Earth. We will meet again for sure!” said the alien woman. The aliens then took Zinaida back into the sphere and apparently returned to Earth.

Researcher Alexey Priyma, together with Zinaida and his colleagues Erast Demishev and Vitaliy Shishenko visited the place of the UFO landing and examined it. They used instruments to study the alleged place of contact. Indeed, a magnetic detector detected an anomalous strip there, where according to the witness the alien woman in black was standing. It was about 5 meters in length, starting about a meter from the stone bridge. At the stadium the researchers found the evident place of the UFO landing. It was a clearly defined round trace on the grass that was 7meters 18cm in diameter.

SASQUATCH IN NEW MEXICO

INTERESTING FIND BECOMES SCARY EXPERIENCE FOR COSTILLA MAN

NEWS, Taos, NM
January 18, 2007

by Jerry A. Padillia

In the interest of protecting a fragile ecosystem and a potentially rare and misunderstood species, the exact location of the following experience is best not revealed. Suffice it to say, the unusual encounter occurred in a canyon of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains near the Colorado-New Mexico border in Northern Taos County.

Arturo "Homie" Martinez, 67, of Costilla said he decided "to tell The Taos News about my experience because many people I've shared the information with don't seem to take me seriously. However, many do, and they have encouraged me to come forward with my story."

Martinez, originally of Arroyo Hondo, has spent a lifetime in the mountains, canyons and wilds of Northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, and can identify all the native wildlife, plants and animals, whatever the season or conditions. Not along ago, he and a person he calls a "super friend" had a frightening, but very interesting experience while scouting for elk in preparation for a hunt. His friend has chosen to remain anonymous.

Martinez made personal notes about what happened in this mountain canyon area Sept. 27. "I, myself, and my friend set out to scout for game, but something weird happened."

He explained that earlier the first day, while scouting in stands of aspens within sight of the community of Amalia from up high, Martinez found an interesting, naturally formed piece of aspen tree that strongly resembled a human face. "Nobody carved it, it grew that way and I decided to bring it back."

After leaving the object at home, Martinez and friend returned to another area several miles away from where they had been earlier in the day. This time, while driving on another fork of the rough road, they found many tops of aspen trees cleanly broken off that were strewn over the road. "We decided to investigate who was breaking the trees and throwing them on the road. I asked my friend, "Who would want to do this?"

Martinez explained, "These were aspens ranging in size from 3 to 4 inches to 6 to 8 inches in diameter, cleanly broken about 13 to 15 feet up the trunk of the trees. There were no tracks of bear or elk, or human tracks -- no tracks of any kind, no sawdust at the bottom of the trees and what was strange, it was as if they were thrown several feet away from where they were broken. There were two big aspens completely uprooted and thrown away from where they had been growing. If bears had broken them, they would have left claw marks. Bears leave a smell on trees they scratch or break."

"Elk in rutting battles leave the ground very disturbed. It wasn't, and seeing many broken trees we continued on to investigate who or what was breaking them. The broken tree tops were lying in the road as if something or someone wanted to say, "Nobody is welcome here." Rounding a curve, my tire blew out and things started getting very scary," he continued.

"We could hear elk bugling up higher and we decided to walk back down since it was late afternoon," Martinez said. "We needed to get a spare, and come back to change the tire. We were taking our time checking out more broken trees, and there was easily over a 100 broken the same way. That's when I heard the scariest noise I have ever heard in my life.

"It sorta at first, sounded like an elk bugling, then turned into a scary roar so loud it kept echoing through the canyon," he continued. "The elk up high stopped bugling. It kept making that noise at us. It reminded me of the noise the devil made in "The Exorcist" movie. Whatever was making the noise started breaking trees and throwing them in our direction a few seconds later.

"Then I saw a huge creature moving through the edge of an aspen grove, about 30 to 40 feet from me. It walked upright, but hunched over, maybe 6 feet tall bent over, and standing straight was 7 to 8 feet tall with very dark fur all over. It was not a bear. Bears don't walk like humans. I am convinced I saw what many call Sasquatch. Even with my gun, I was very scared and we left in a hurry. It seemed to be following in the edge of the trees, breaking more, throwing them toward us and making that awful noise. It was almost dark and we had to get out of there," he recounted.

The two men fled down the mountain, and Martinez said every time the creature roared the noise continued reverberating through the entire area. "I felt like at any moment something was going to grab me from behind all the way out of there."

They arrived on foot in Costilla well after dark, deciding no matter how scared they felt, it was necessary to return to the canyon, change the blown tire and bring Martinez's vehicle back.

The two men returned to where the vehicle was parked, and by the time they changed the spare it was after 2 a.m. on September 28.

"We decided to stay until daylight and try to find out what it really was we had experienced," Martinez continued, "It was deathly quiet the whole time, nothing moving, no elk bugling, not a sound at all. At sunrise, we checked around, found more aspens broken the same way. Nothing else happened to us. There was no sign of anything out of the ordinary except more broken trees."

Not finding any other evidence of their frightening experience of the afternoon before, Martinez and his friend returned home.

"Like I said, I know what I saw. I know it is not a bear or any other of the wildlife I have seen around here all my life. I decided to tell my story because America, wake up, these creatures exist," he said. "Every time I go into the mountains anywhere from now on I will have a camera and an audio recorder with me. I have had other people tell me that even though they wish to remain anonymous, they have had similar experiences over the years, but don't say much because they get ridiculed. I know what I saw and heard."

THE BOYS WENT FISHING

The Fishing Trip Encounter
(This report was on "Google UFO" that I receive each day. I do not know who the author is.)

What could have been a fun weekend of fishing and relaxation for four teenage boys turned into a confusing and frightening episode of unreality, bizarre sightings and missing time

In the spring of 2001, a 16-year-old boy, whom we'll call José, and three friends set off on a fishing expedition to a lake near their homes in Mexico. What they encountered on that strange day - and what happened to José - has puzzled and haunted them ever since. This is José's story:

The wind was blowing quite strongly that spring morning, stirring up dust and creating a cloudy atmosphere. Three friends and I were going fishing. We set off on foot from my house to a lake that was about three miles or so away. The sun had just risen and the wind howled and combed the sea of dry grass that we walked through. We all carried the essentials: the fishing gear, of course, knives, food, snacks and a tent. We had planned to spend the night at the fishing spot, but with the north air whistling loudly and the dry dust beating our tired faces, we decided not to camp, but just fish for the day.

On the way to the lake, we chatted about everyday things as we walked. After a couple of hours or so, we finally reached the lake. Unfortunately, the wind was still blowing strongly, and the dark lake rolled with violent waves that lashed the rocky shore ferociously. We walked around the bleak body of water looking for a good spot to fish, a task that lasted more than an hour.

When we finally decided on the perfect spot, a gust of wind struck us so violently that one of my friends and I were knocked off our feet. My head struck a boulder behind me and I clearly felt the back of my head getting wet. I reached back and touched it, and was surprised to find no blood. I asked the guys to look and see if I was bleeding from or a cut or something, but they all answered that I wasn't. One of the guys even touched the spot on my head with a piece of paper, but no trace of blood came off. Strangely, the back of my head still felt wet. I passed it off as as just the sensation of the blow to my head combined with the chilly wind.

We began to throw the lures and we fished for a few hours. We caught some fish and ate our lunch. The wind made it impossible to start a fire, and as the sun was hiding behind the gray, desolate clouds and the mountains, I suggested to my friends that it was a good idea to head home. They all agreed, so we packed up our stuff and started on the three-mile walk back to my house. That return trip turned out to be a bizarre odyssey.

The return trip

We had spent too much time packing up the gear and getting ready to leave. The sun had set and night was a few minutes away now. There was a road we could follow about 500 meters away from us, but the straight way was shorter, much shorter.

The back of my head still felt kind of wet, and I told my buddies I was not feeling at all well. I begged them that we should take the road, even though it was longer. In case something happened to me, we could flag down a passing car. But because taking the road would have added an extra hour to our trip, they neglected my demand.

We continued and came to a small hill. We climbed it and saw, at the bottom of the hill on the other side, a man. He was lying on the ground, motionless.
"He appeared to be dead..."

I thought the worst, and we rushed over to see how he was. He appeared to be dead, and his body even began to emit a repulsive odor. He looked old, around five feet tall and was dressed formally. We speculated that he had been murdered and his body placed here.

It was then that I distinctly felt someone touching the back of my cold head, and a strong gust blew.

The old man suddenly opened its eyes! They looked orange or red orange, and they seemed to cry blood. He blinked two times and opened his mouth, filling the cold air with an unworldly stench. The back of my head seemed wet, really wet now, but I still did not feel any blood. My friends and I were so startled that we began to run like hell.

I heard one of my friends shout, "It's coming this way!" His voice was that of a horrified, crying young man. I turned around and saw the blazing red eyes of the little man "floating" at us like headlights.

Then the tattered clouds decided it was time to rain. The wind made the water so cold that it was painful to our heads and faces as we ran. We were still about two miles from my house, and it was getting dark. We kept running, confused and frightened.

I heard one of my friends shout, "It's coming this way!" His voice was that of a horrified, crying young man. I turned around and saw the blazing red eyes of the little man "floating" at us like headlights. I tripped and fell again, but my friends kept running. I just curled up on the ground, closed my eyes and began grabbing stones, horrified. Then I felt the strong wind and rain hit my back, and the mud covering me. I gathered enough courage to look back... and saw nothing. My friends had stopped about 100 meters ahead, had turned and were shouting at me in panic. I stood up and just as I lifted my head, my eyes met the staring red eyes of the old man. I was paralyzed and just stood there, gazing back at him. His eyes then appeared to look to the side, as if pointing me. The little man pointed to my right, and I began slowly walking in that direction. His eyes... it seemed to me then that they were not evil after all.

I walked after this "man" for some minutes. He stopped and pointed at the lake. He looked back at me, just as the rain was stopping and the wind settled to a breeze. I felt an arm touch my back, then push me so hard that I fell and fainted.

Strange burns and missing time

When I woke up, I was in the hospital with second-degree burns. The pain was intolerable. The doctors could not explain how I was burned. I was told that a hunter found me on the mountain more than eight miles from that lake! I could not believe it, and still I can't. The hunter said he saw a light atop the hill and went to check it out. He claimed to have seen a metal disk in the air, hovering and then disappearing over the horizon. When he found me, I had signs of strange cuts, as if from knives, and I had a wound in my chest, as if I had undergone surgery.

The day I had gone "fishing" was a Saturday, and the hunter found me on a Wednesday. When I was discovered, I did not have a shirt on and only one shoe. My friends claim they ran when they saw those eyes and then a mirror-like reflection of shiny metal on the lakeshore. They told my parents and many other people what had happened, but were ridiculed and blamed for my absence.

They are horrified now, and so am I, wondering what happened that day.
* * *
Postscript

Since receiving this story from "José," I have asked him to verify the story and to give his current thoughts about the events of that day. His response:
I have not told anyone about the disk. Only my friends know about that and they did not tell anyone. My burn marks, everyone thinks, is from a lightning bolt. Maybe it was, but my mind plays with me. I am not sure what happened. I am sure I recall seeing a disk, and the man with the fiery eyes was pretty weird. My other three friends also did see those things. One person we've told the story to thinks we were drugged or drunk. I am not sure what to believe, but the mark on my stomach was not caused by a rock or something. It is too precise to be accidental. I am somewhat skeptical about many things. Maybe it was a dream. I cannot know.

WHAT MOORE LEARNED AT THE UFO CONFERENCE IN LAUGHLIN

NASA - What Are They Hiding From US?

By W.C. Moore

Having just returned from the 16th Annual International UFO Congress Convention, I can tell you beyond a reasonable doubt that what’s being hidden from us is quite over-whelming and NASA is only one among the culprits. But since NASA’s moniker has oft been clarified as: Never A Straight Answer, I figure that’s a good place to start.

The general public is largely unaware that NASA has for many years, at least since the beginnings of the space shuttle missions, maintained satellite links which have distributed camera feeds from the shuttles and more recently the International Space Station, to transponders which can be picked up by just about any scientific institution that’s technically equipped and interested. Truth be told, literally anybody who coughs up enough dough for the right type of receiver can also join in on the fun. Quite a few people from the private sector have done just that, and in the process have stumbled across some rather astonishing footage of anomalous phenomena (uh, UFO’s to be perfectly clear).

In the late 80’s a former Canadian television station manager, named Martin Stubbs, had his eng tech crew set up one of their unused satellite dishes to receive this signal which he recorded 24 hours a day for the duration of the specific shuttle missions.

At home, evenings while having dinner, he would fast forward through these stacks of tapes and hit the brakes when he saw anything that looked a tad peculiar. After editing hundreds of hours of these NASA down-linked images, he along with UFO Magazine, UK, put out a 90 minute video called, “NASA’s Secret Transmissions - The Smoking Gun”.

What was captured that was so visually arresting was scores of spherical objects that buzzed around the shuttles like bees around a hive, albeit much more slowly. The full motion images might best be described as what you’d expect to see if you were looking at a drop of pond water through a microscope. These were analogous to microscopic paramecium and amoeba in the way they moved squiggly fashion, but their size, which was able to be approximated by referencing the shuttle itself and known camera lens focal lengths, was determined to be ¾ of a mile to 3 miles across!

But that material, going back 7 to 8 years ago is now old stuff. The newer imagings, recorded the same way through NASA’s own cameras, which should be acknowledged as quite a respectable authenticating medium, show similar bright objects that hover in very close proximity to the space station itself. One distinct and noteworthy object was clearly rectangular in shape, like a Hershey’s candy bar, only white-silverish in color.

This particular film, “NASA - What are they hiding from us?”, which ran in the film festival competition at the convention, showed numerous instances of this phenomena from an assortment of angles. Although NASA has flatly denied that the images suggest anything life-like from out of this world, one of the astronaut spacewalkers did step forward to talk about having witnessed something very unusual.

Heide Piper was a crew member of STS-115 which returned to earth on September 22nd, 2006. It had previously been acknowledged that the shuttle’s return had been delayed for a day because of what NASA referred to as a mysterious object near the Space Station. NASA had initially referred to the phenomena which caused so much concern, particularly among the Russian scientists, as possibly some part of the Atlantis shuttle itself which had come loose and went floating in space. Then they said it was a plastic bag, then trash, and finally when they’d run out of anything else to call it, they simply referred to it as a mysterious object.

While standing at the podium during the welcome home ceremony with cameras rolling, space-walker Heide Piper started out by talking about something very peculiar. “It was something that, something that you’ve never seen before. And when I finally got to go out the door that was something very different too.” But just after having opened up with this acknowledgement and appeared to be ready to offer more descriptive details of the phenomena, her voice began to break as she suddenly became very shaky on her feet and literally fell into the arms of NASA personnel who lowered her to the floor.

NASA claimed that it was brought on by time spent in weightlessness and the adjustment back to Earth’s gravity. The suggestion from others, not directly associated with NASA was that she was so traumatized by witnessing this bizarre space phenomena that she suffered an attack of post traumatic stress syndrome. But there is another explanation as to why it might be that an apparently physically fit and experienced astronaut would collapse upon merely recounting a visual sighting that was unusual.

It has been long acknowledged within Dr. Stephen Greer’s Disclosure Project material that the black ops government does indeed have ‘off-the-shelf technology’ that can remotely trigger strokes or even heart attacks if ‘they’ feel the need for suppression of unwelcome revelations is urgent enough. Although it is clearly conspiratorial in nature, it is also possible that NASA felt it had to stop her from the releasing of revelations that it considered top secret .

Even if you are fairly attentive to the daily news headlines, you most likely would have heard no more than just information about the female astronaut who fainted during a press appearance. Her actual words spoken and certainly this footage of her fainting were censored from the mainstream media.

Comments on my question yesterday about the Phoenix:

Out of my ashes
will rise a new phoenix

A soaring being
returning from death
proving once again
that life is eternal.

I live forever
because the spirit
never dies.

I will return
in another body
in another time
but it is me.

The me who is me now
will always be.

As long as I live
I learn
and I live
FOREVER

"After that if anyone has an answer or a supposition please send it to me and perhaps we can figure out this mystery."

I think it's pretty obvious that it means we humans are building our own pyre and we will burn up from global warming, nuclear annihilation or some other environmental catastrophe. After that, the aliens will clean up and the alien/human hybrids will live here instead of us. They are the new phoenix. That's what I think it means, but I don't know if I believe it.

THE PHOENIX

THE PHOENIX
by Aileen Garoutte'

A mystery exists that I, for one, would like to know the answer to. In three different contact cases the "Phoenix" has been referred to in conjunction with the aliens. I am wondering what the meaning is. I looked up The Phoenix on Google. Several reports on the Phoenix from different cultures of the world came up. In trying to understand what it could mean to the aliens I chose one. I don't know if it applies but here is what it said. After that I will include those three different descriptions of the Phoenix in the contact cases. After that if anyone has an answer or a supposition please send it to me and perhaps we can figure out this mystery.

CLASSICAL ARABIAN PHOENIX

Perhaps the most well known, the Arabian Phoenix was a fabulous mythical bird, said to be as large as an eagle, with brilliant scarlet and gold plumage and a melodious cry. Makes its home near a cool well, the Phoenix would appear at dawn every morning to sing a song so enchanting that even the great Sun God Apollo would stop to listen.

It was said that only one Phoenix existed at any one time, and it is very long lived with a life span of 500 years, 540 years, 1000 years, 1461 years or even 12,994 years (according to various accounts). As the end of its life approached, the Phoenix would build a pyre nest of aromatic branches and spices such as myrrh, set it on fire, and is consumed in the flames. After three days the birth -- or as some legends say a rebirth -- the Phoenix arises from the ashes. According to some sources, the Phoenix arose from the midst of the flames.

The young Phoenix gathers the ashes of its predecessor into an egg of myrrh and takes it to Heliopolis, the City of the Sun, to deposit it on the alter of the Sun God.

A symbolic representation of the death and rebirth of the sun. It is also described as being either eagle like or heron like. It lives on dew, killing nothing and crushing nothing that it touches. Generally considered the king of birds. It has alternatively been called the bird of the sun, of Assyria, of Arabia, of the Ganges, the long-lived bird and the Egyptian bird. The earliest reference to the Phoenix was made by Hesiod in the 8th century B.C., but the most detailed account is by Herodotus of Halicarnassus, the famous Greek historian in 5th century B.C.

Does it have something to do with reincarnation that the aliens revere? What could it be?

In the B.B. abduction case I put on the blog she was taken to a cavern.

We go back into the cavern and walk to the end of it. Then we enter another room which is dark. Then a little light comes on and I found myself standing in front of a ledge. On the ledge is the tiny replica of a beautiful bird. I pick it up and I said, this is a replica of the Phoenix bird. Yes, said my guide. That replica is over 40,000 years old. You know the meaning of the Phoenix legend. Yes, I do, I said. Then he said, you know then that what you are holding is the NEW Phoenix. Do you know what that means? Yes, I said, it means that the new Phoenix is in my hands. Then I ask, may I take this back with me? Unless I have it as proof, no one will believe me.

In another of these dreams I stood before the golden death mask of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen. My guide told me that this mask was a replica of the headdress of the Sphinx as it was originally. He said that the heads of the bird and the snake on the forehead were the symbols of the Phoenix bird legend.

Another report came from Betty Andreasson's case where she also was taken into a cavern but in this case under the Phoenix was a huge worm made of ashes.

Betty saw what she assumed was an eagle but the neck was longer. As she watched a brilliant white light was behind it and then flecks of gold rays were being shed. All of a sudden she became so hot she thought she was burning. Her hands were red and she was crying from the heat. The fire was hot that she saw and then it began to dim down and at that point she cooled off. When the fire had diminished a thick claylike gray worm appeared out of the ashes.

A voice then spoke to her in a loud voice. "You have seen, and you have heard. Do you understand?" Then it called her name, only louder. She said "No, I don't understand what this is all about, why I'm even here." And they -- whatever it was -- said that "I have chosen you. I have chosen you to show the world." She asked if he was God? "I shall show you as your time goes by" was the reply. "The time is not yet. It shall come."

This bird was real and had its wings down. Betty's sister said that it looked like a symbol that the Incas used, or Indians in times past. On the aliens uniforms they had a symbol of a bird. Perhaps this symbol represented something for them. Raymond Fowler says to Betty, they thought that you would understand this, and then they seemed to explain it to you in a sense. Betty says that her sister Shirley had looked up about the Phoenix bird. It seems that Betty had witnessed the death and rebirth of the legendary Phoenix. (But why?)

The Collier Encyclopedia described a bird almost identical to what Betty reported.

Phoenix, a legendary bird that builds its own funeral pyre and is reborn from its own ashes. (same as above explanation of the Arabian Phoenix bird).

The Phoenix figures prominently in early Christian art and literature as a symbol of immortality and the resurrection.
__

The third case can be found in the book "The Keepers" by Jim Sparks.

Jim was made to learn the alien language at a console like a computer table and screen. One time when he was there and concentrating on the lesson everything stopped. The machine went black and the workers (aliens) froze. Then the head alien came in and he froze too! Jim said his eyes were pulled to the left. Five feet away was a hologram of a jagged tall cliff. The light was intense (like Betty's white light behind the bird). Then a large figure appeared, perched on the top of the peak of the cliff. It radiated power and shined with glory. It was a birdlike figure, but not just any bird. He recognized it from pictures but this one was more magnificent.

It was the Phoenix, in gold and silver plumage, with flashing blue, blue eyes. There was something spiritual about it that just pierced him. He stood spellbound while it raised and spread its large wings. At that point the light was too much to bear. It seemed ready to fly right at him but then there was an implosion and it was gone. The teaching continued, the aliens moved and the head guy left. Jim was emotionally drained.

Jim demanded to know what that was all about. They didn't answer but an image formed in his mind of himself saying the Pledge of Allegiance. He then knew that the bird symbolized whatever their society or government or alien equivalent was. They were paying respect. Why it had shown up was hard to imagine.

There you have the three incidents. What do you make of it? It has been plaguing me why aliens would have something that we knew about in our history as a legend but to them seemed to be currently real. I know there is more to this and if anyone has had an experience even close to this please let me know.

FROM AN EXPERIENCER IN CANADA

Two Visitations: Grey and hybrid

I've always contended that I would first have to experience an alien encounter before I could begin to understand it. And now my notes and ruminations are mostly about trying to understand it. Sure I've formed opinions, but it really is just what it is, not more; not less.The most overwhelming part of it is that it was so "real" more real than normal communication, and no words were spoken. Had I not experienced it first hand I would not have believed telepathy could be so precise. I could write it word for word, but the depth of spirit is something monumental and earthshaking, figuratively. So, the context really is important and part of the puzzle.

The first encounter happened about Spring 1991, a decade after my first spiritual "enlightenment" experience at a peak level of my personal growth and at a point that my life was in imminent danger from an impending emergency open heart surgery.

I also had this intuitive sense of danger. Shortly after meeting the alien grey in my bedroom while I was wide awake, the surgeon shared his amazement with me. He says, "I can't believe you are still alive; your heart valve is essentially closed. Check in right now for emergency surgery. You have one in three chances of survival." I bumped all these old men in wheel chairs for a higher priority onthe waiting list, but I survived.

The second encounter was about 5 years later with a hybrid child, and no hint of a contact since. My wife left me shortly after my first encounter, and I was within two miles of my former home at the second encounter.

The first happened in the middle of the day when I was home alone. I felt it lying in the middle of the queen sized bed, where my wife was used to lying. I sensed it was alien and spiritually developed. It lay still during the whole visit.Having acquired the ability to sense ki (chi) energy through my palms, I was astonished that the shape so closely followed the standard one of an alien grey - huge head and eyes, slits for ears nose and mouth, slender and short (about 4 foot) humanoid body, five toes and fingers, long and slender fingers.

The only movement I felt was inside the "pregnant" abdomen (stomach). I was sitting up in bed all this time and I was awake when it first materialized. I had to test that it was not dream related by getting out of bed to get pen and paper and writing word for word the literal telepathic communication. Yes, surprising me that it still in the same position and the same calm and magnanimous communication as before. Never before have I heard such clear and direct communication and with a depth that goes beyond mere words. Still, there was no clear revelation in the chat. The bottom line was the alien would let me know when the time becomes appropriate. I got the message that I could not be trusted with the consequences and that I did not have a need to know any further details-"what you see is what you get"

And seeing was not visual-as a sensory psychologist I could determine this, even though the presence was more real than a real body would have been since it was so multidimensional. Its intelligence appealed to me, but its lack of any human emotions or weaknesses was a bit spooky in one way , but I could trust the creature much more than a human with those weaknesses, particularly since I could feel its intention was to keep us from destroying ourselves, i.e. to help us find a way past our self-destructive patterns and do what they can without interfering - but that was relayed through the quality and integrity of the conversation more so than through the words relayed. Peaceful co-existence was clearly not an issue for their species, but they could see it was a problem for us that would also create a problem for them as a consequence.

I was suspicious about a pregnancy, and it had no external sexual organs. All in all I was very impressed by the quality and responsibility of the conversation, but equally concerned that no straight answers were relayed.

About five years later the impending presence was again heralded,but by a more demonstrative, and human style expression. I had been conscious that lights on the street always turned off as I passed. I thought it was a negative sign until I read about psychic powers in a book telling me this was a greater power than making them turn on; also feeling the spiritual shapes and qualities through my palms was a much more advanced psychic ability than the one of "seeing" the spiritual auras (e.g. those around all humans). Though the facts were counter to normal intuition, I did feel they were so based on my experience and my insight re a friend who could see the auras.

So, as I drove on the highway the street lights (about the same time I usually drove home from work) illuminated in front up to the exit to my children's home. I was overwhelmed by the experience, knowing it was an otherworldly message; if it were me the lights would have gone off, not on. And that was the first and only time this has happened to me.

Overwhelmed, breathing heavily and excited, I drove slowly after the exit, looking for a safe place to pull over. At the same time, I heard a giggle at the right back seat and felt a presence. It's now five years since the grey visited and I look back and see a "hybrid " alien acting like a five-year old but diminutive child probably as small as a 1-2 year-old but skinny. And it had clothes on. And it was so happy that it got to shock me and sat there laughing its head off. And there I sit like a good research psychologist testing to see if it could be a hallucination. It was not just small and very skinny, but it also had those slanty eyes and pointed chin, but certainly looking more human than the first alien.

This can't be I say it myself. I am seeing him - it acted like a boy - with my eyes; but I can't see spirits with my eyes and I can't make street lights go on as I pass. I'm thinking if I had to live with those emotionless grey aliens, I would also delight in meeting a father that also acts human. OK as an expert in perception I knew it was not a hallucination. I reached back there but I clearly knew it was not a physical entity. But if I were not trained and working on perceptual research, I would have assumed that seeing is believing, and so it has to be real.

So the inescapable, but unstated conclusion is that I was visited by the alien "mother" and then by the young hybrid, i.e. mixed breed, child who acted like it was my child. The mother grey appeared where the mother of my earthly children normally rested, and the child appeared in the car seat where the younger one would be sitting - quite a coincidence.

It was a powerful experience but it was normal, happening in a quiet relaxed atmosphere, and disappearing when I was finished with my part inthe encounter. And it was a one-time type of experience provingit to be unique.Will they come for a third visit? I can already hear the alien mother saying "that's not necessary", and the hybrid kid thinking"but mom that would be fun" and the grey "but fun is pointless---once is enough for such primitive emotions"

MONTANA SIGHTINGS

READER STORIES

Folks have been reporting UFO sightings from all around the Big Sky State since the early 1950s.

Here's a look at some of the more recent sightings, which were submitted by Tribune readers.

TRIBUNE, GREAT FALLS, MT

NOT AN AIRCRAFT

What I saw wasn't much, but it stuck with me in a big way. I didn't even share it with my father until 1995, and we have both been following sightings and cattle phenomena for years.

My parents' home is on Clark Avenue in Great Falls and their kitchen window used to have a wonderful view of the Anaconda Smokestack. I wish I had written down a date but at the time I was more concerned with burying what I saw deep in my mind.

I was up early one fall Sunday morning during the early '80s. At the time, I was in my early teens. Serving as an altar boy for the early mass at Saints Peter and Paul quite regularly, I often found myself making a quick breakfast -- Cream of Wheat that morning. It was cooking on the stove as I stood in front of the window and admired the stack.

What I saw didn't last more than three or four seconds. The objects appeared about the size of a slightly elongated pencil lead. One of them came in from the East and the other from the West. They passed each other almost due north of the stack, and traveled on until it appeared they circled back toward one another. They passed one another again, and once again it appeared they circled back toward each other. This last time, however, they didn't pass each other. They stopped right next to each other, as I could see a small space between them, and with speed that I can only call incredible, they shot straight north toward Canada.

Being around aircraft all of my life I know what they can do, and what I saw was no conventional aircraft.

FLASHING LIGHTS

This summer, July or August, my boyfriend C. J. Aimsback and I took six of my little cousins swimming. We went to my uncle Joe Bear and Auntie Sarah's house, one mile north, past Twins Lake, and asked (Sarah) if she wanted to come down to the river.

After swimming for hours, Sarah said to come up and eat. It must have been 5:30 or 6 p.m. when we went inside to eat, and then we sat around visiting. By this time night had fallen. As we were getting ready to leave, I told C.J. to go start the truck and he yelled, "Lisa, come here." We all ran outside and saw big lights -- red, blue and white... or was it green? -- in the sky above my Uncle Sassy's house, and then it moved right next to Joe Bear's house. They just sat there for about five minutes turning and turning in circles, then took off really fast. There were three of them. We watched them play in the sky for a few more minutes, then watched them go into Badger Canyon.

The cops on the scanner when we got home said they were planes. But, what do they know? They weren't as close as we were.

TWICE IN ONE YEAR

I went grocery shopping with my mother-in-law and father-in-law in Cut Bank. We left Cut Bank around 7:30 p.m. and saw this blinking red light that looked like a Mercy Flight at the height a helicopter would be.

Because of its speed we started to think it was moving too fast for a plane or helicopter. In seconds it went all the way across the sky, out by Old Agency.

Twice in one year... yeah, I do think little green men are taking over our big blue sky.

HOVERING CIGAR

It was a warm summer night in 1976. My husband and I had just left the local movie theater in Cut Bank. It was still light out at 9 p.m. as we drove up Railroad Street to the Point Drive-in for an ice cream cone.

As we neared our destination we could see something huge, long and cigar-shaped hovering over Tank Hill. In those days our craft just did not hover. There were colored lights on the bottom of this craft that sort of glowed off and on. It seemed like there were windows also, but I could not exactly tell what I was seeing.

We stopped right in the middle of the street and got out of our car to get a better look. I noticed the people in the car behind us did the same. All of a sudden, the strange craft zoomed toward the airport at a tremendous speed and hovered there.

We jumped back in our car and headed through town toward the airport to see what the ominous-looking UFO was doing. It had moved so fast that our eyes could barely make out that it went toward the airport. Before we could get there it suddenly zoomed up into the atmosphere and out of sight.

At that time, there were minutemen missiles being put into the ground 50 miles away near Conrad. We had heard stories of strange aircraft and cattle mutilations in the area.

I don't know what I saw. It could have been an experimental aircraft from government sources or a real UFO. For 1976, it was truly an amazing sight to see

ARMED FORCES REVEAL UFO PRESENCE IN CHILE
(February 8, 2007)

More than 1,000 enthusiasts and experts gathered in Viña del Mar on Tuesday and Wednesday this week for the Tenth International Ufology Conference, organized by the Chile’s Ufology Investigation Group (Aion). The highlight of the meeting was a display of photographs taken by members of Chile’s Armed Forces.

Ufology is the study of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs. While many ufology experts feel that the field is not taken seriously by scientists, participants at the conference in Viña del Mar said the presence of several members of the armed forces added legitimacy to the proceedings. Rodrigo Fuenzalida, director of Aion, said the military presence was important because of the well-known objectivity of their reports and the advanced technology that can be used to back up their observations.

The military photographs and videos were revealed late Tuesday evening. They included a photograph of a spherical metallic object captured flying over Antarctica and a video of Navy ships being pursued by a luminous object in 2000.

Also presented at the conference was a report by Rodrigo Bravo, Captain of the Army’s Fifth Division, who talked to a rapt audience about his thesis, entitled “Observations of unidentified aerial phenomena identified by the Civil Air Force.” While Bravo’s talk was not technically representative of the institution’s position on UFOs, he had been authorized to give it by his commander-in-chief.

“Captain Bravo gave his talk from the point of view of the importance of UFOs as a phenomenon,” said Fuenzalida. “He talked about encounters such as that of three helicopters near La Unión, when a UFO was spotted parked on the ground, and what happened in 2000, when five people were pursued by a luminous object that did not show up on radar screens.”

Fuenzalida denied the existence of “secret investigations” being carried out by the Armed Forces about extraterrestrial activity.

Also present at the conference was retired official Armando Valdés, who is noted for his involvement in one of Chile’s first documented UFO abductions, which became known as the Valdés Case.

On April 25, 1977, Valdés, along with five members of an army patrol, saw two bright objects descending from the sky. Valdés set out alone to investigate and, according to the men, simply vanished. Fifteen minutes later, they said, he reappeared, tried to speak and passed out. The date on his watch had been advanced five days, and he had about a week's growth of beard.

According to his comrades, when Valdes was beginning to regain consciousness he said: "You do not know who we are, nor where we come from. But I tell you that we will soon return."

DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU ARE TOLD

Sometimes when you try to be helpful and you believe what you have been told about an abduction you can be fooled.

The article below I put on the blog in September 2005. It was after I received many letters from this comedien. You all would know who he is but I will just use the initials G.K.

Yesterday I asked AOL if I could get my old e-mail address back. They said there was a way, even though I still have this e-mail that I send the blog on. So after they showed me how I went into the mail. I was in total shock. There were over 19,000 e-mails dating back for a year. I started to go through them and found several e-mails from G.K. He had asked if I was mad at him since I hadn't answered! After I read what he wanted I was glad I hadn't answered. This is what the first letter said:

I don't know if you suspected something but my emails to you a few years ago were not serious. They were for a book of emails sent to people of all beliefs and occupations. Your sincerity in your beliefs were obvious. We would love to use your emails in the book. You would be in excellent company.

Unfortunately the deadline was last Friday, but I could try to get them in if you want. Since you didn't OK it, we couldn't use them.

If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them. I know this may have caught you by surprise. (To say the least!)

My reply to him said:

I am sorry, I believed you. I always believe people who write for help. Where did you come up with the "Mastersons?" I have since tried to find out about them but it always ended in a dead end except for one hunter by that name in NM that was saved when he was lost by the UFOs.

What kind of book are you publishing? And what e-mails were you thinkng of putting in the book that I have? Did you mean your letters to me and the replies?

(This is the person that said don't let this out to the public because I am too well known so I never used his name but now he was going to use my confidential letters to him in a book!)

This was his reply: Our correspondence was all emails. We had quite a few of them, I don't know how many they would use, probably about 3 or 4. The book is about how people handled my requests. You were kind and thoughtful. The experiences I described were not based on anything real. None of the emails in the book were real. There were noted people among the recipients and they were fooled also. Most people have wanted to be included, but that's an individual decision.

So I said: I can't see the point in why you did that. It is like making fun of people who are having taumatic things happening to them. This is like making fun of the whole thing. What would you get out of doing this?

His retort: Sorry you are upset. Most people were surprised but not upset. How does anbody justify humor? You either like a particular type or you don't. I wasn't making fun of a real situation, it was really far out there. I think even staunch UFO believers would find it funny. You come across as a good person who was just trying to help. Since you don't find it funny, rest assured it won't be in the book. If you read the book, let me know if you still think it is cruel.

He said that he had only written 2 letters pertaining to UFOs and only one to me about being abducted. The other one was to Area 51 to ask for a guided tour. He said that he received a reply that it would not be possible. Then he said he doesn't believe there is an Area 51 at all!

The name of the book: E-Mails from a Faded Celebrity to a Bewildered World. I don't know who the publisher is. I did not find the whole thing humorous. He took something I considered to be very serious and was making a joke out of it. So read the story below. I realize I put it on before but you all were not on my list then.

THE CASE OF THE ABDUCTED COMEDIAN

IN JANUARY OF 2003 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM A WELL KNOWN COMEDIAN. ONE THAT ALL OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH. I PROMISED HIM ANONYMITY AND BECAUSE OF THAT I WON’T REVEAL HIS NAME.THIS IS ONE OF THE ODDEST CONTACT CASES I HAVE EVER HEARD.

HE SAID HE WAS ABDUCTED THREE WEEKS BEFORE AFTER HAVING JUST COMPLETED A PERFORMANCE AT A COMEDY CLUB. HE WAS UNLOCKING HIS CAR DOOR WHEN HE FELT A STRANGE SENSATION. IT WAS LIKE HE WAS BEING PULLED SIMULTANEOUSLY IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. THE PAIN WAS INTENSE AND HE BLACKED OUT.

WHEN HE AWOKE HE WAS IN A STRUCTURE THAT WAS LIKE NOTHING HE HAD EVER SEEN BEFORE. SURROUNDING HIM WERE THIRTY TO FIFTY BEINGS VAGUELY RESEMBLING THE ALIENS IN "CLOSE ENCOUNTERS". FOR A PERSON NOT FAMILIAR WITH ALIEN ABDUCTIONS THAT WAS THE BEST HE COULD DESCRIBE THEM.HE WAS STRANGELY COMPELLED TO START DOING HIS ACT, AND ASSUMED THAT’S WHAT THEY WANTED. THEY RESPONDED WITH A HIGH-PITCHED CLANKING SOUND. HE COULDN’T TELL IF IT WAS LAUGHTER OR NOT. THE UNNERVING THING WAS, NO MATTER WHAT JOKE HE TOLD HE GOT EXACTLY THE SAME RESPONSE. WHEN HE FINISHED, THERE WAS NO APPLAUSE, SO HE JUST SAT DOWN.SPONTANEOUSLY ALL THE ALIENS GOT UP AND STARTED DOING HIS ROUTINE, REPEATING HIS JOKES BACK TO HIM. THEY HAD ALL HIS PHYSICAL MANNERISMS, BUT NONE OF HIS CRISP TIMING. IT WAS PAINFUL TO WATCH.

HE BLACKED OUT AGAIN AND WOKE UP OUTSIDE HIS CAR IN THE SAME SPOT OF HIS ABDUCTION. STRANGELY, ONLY A FEW SECONDS HAD ELAPSED EVEN THOUGH HIS ACT ITSELF TAKES 45 MINUTES.HE KEPT THIS TO HIMSELF BECAUSE HE KNEW NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE HIM AND WOULD ASK WHAT DRUGS HE WAS ON! FINALLY HE HAD TO FIND SOMEONE THAT WOULD UNDERSTAND AND THAT IS HOW HE FOUND ME.

HE HAS HAD SOME DREAMS ABOUT THE ABDUCTION. HE DIDN’T BELIEVE HE WAS PROBED OR TAMPERED WITH, BUT SINCE THE INCIDENT, A FEW UNRELATED PERSONS HAVE ASKED WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT HIMSELF.

HE DIDN’T FEEL LIKE PERFORMING AGAIN FOLLOWING THE ABDUCTION, HOWEVER THERE WAS ONE SHOW COMMITMENT HE HAD TO FULFILL AND ODDLY ENOUGH IT WAS ONE OF HIS BEST PERFORMANCES EVER. HE DID HEAR THAT HIGH-PITCHED CLANKING SOUND WHILE ON STAGE. HE DIDN’T KNOW IF THERE WAS AN ALIEN IN THE AUDIENCE, OR IF IT’S JUST EMBEDDED IN HIS BRAIN.

IN REPLYING TO HIS LETTER I TOLD HIM ABOUT A CASE THAT PERHAPS WOULD MAKE HIM FEEL A LITTLE BETTER ABOUT UNUSUAL ABDUCTIONS. THIS TOOK PLACE IN BRAZIL. IT WAS THE CASE OF THE FARMER WHO WAS OUT IN HIS FIELD ON HIS TRACTOR. IT WAS TIME FOR THIS HUGE SOCCOR MATCH WHICH HE WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING ON TELEVISION. ALL OF A SUDDEN A UFO CAME DOWN AND LANDED. ALIENS GOT OUT AND TOOK THE FARMER IN THE HOUSE. THEY WANTED TO WATCH THE SOCCOR MATCH WITH HIM. THEY DRANK HIS BEER, LAUGHED, ATE HIS SNACKS, AND ENJOYED THEMSELVES IMMENSLY! WHEN IT WAS OVER THEY LEFT JUST LIKE THEY HAD COME LEAVING HIS HOUSE TRASHED! HE WAS NOT A WEALTHY PERSON SO WHAT THEY DRANK AND ATE HURT HIS POCKETBOOK YOU COULD SAY.

THE COMMEDIAN WROTE AGAIN IN MARCH OF 2003. HE SAID HE HAD NOT CONTACTED ME BECAUSE HIS PERFORMANCES HAD COME AND GONE WITHOUT INCIDENT UNTIL THE LAST FRIDAY NIGHT. HE SAID IF HIS PREVIOUS ABDUCTION WAS BIZARRE, HE WAS SURE EVEN YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD ANTHING CLOSE TO WHAT HAPPENED TO ME THIS TIME!

I HAD JUST FINISHED JUDGING A TALENT CONTEST AT A LOCAL COMEDY CLUB AND WAS APPROACHING MY CAR WHEN I WAS ABDUCTED AGAIN. THE SAME ALIENS (I EVEN RECOGNIZED SOME OF THEM) BROUGHT ME ABOARD THE SAME CRAFT. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STRUCTURE, THERE WAS A STAGE EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE AT THE COMEDY CLUB I HAD JUST LEFT, BRICK WALL AND EVERYTHING. THIS TIME, HOWEVER, THEY DIDN’T WANT ME TO PERFORM. THE LIGHTS DIMMED AND THEN AN OFF-STAGE ANNOUNCER WELCOMED ME BY NAME TO WHAT HE CALLED "OUR COMEDY SHOWCASE."THEN SEVERAL ALIEN COMEDIANS WERE INTRODUCED, AND THEY PROCEEDED TO DO THEIR OWN ACTS. SOME WERE FUNNY, SOME WEREN’T. ONE DID THE BEST IMPRESSION OF JACK NICHOLSON I’VE EVER HEARD. HE DID THE "CAN’T WE ALL GET ALONG" SCENE FROM MARS ATTACKS. I LAUGHED AND APPLAUDED WHEN I THOUGHT IT WAS APPROPRIATE. NONE OF THEM DID, HOWEVER. NO HIGH-PITCHED CLANKING SOUNDS THIS TIME.WHEN THE LAST ONE FINISHED, THERE WAS TOTAL SILENCE.

THE LIGHTS WENT UP AND ALL OF THEM WERE STARING AT ME. I SUDDENLY REALIZED THAT THEY WANTED ME TO JUDGE THE CONTEST. PICK A WINNER. AFTER REALIZING THIS, I TOOK A MOMENT AND SAID, "THERE’S MORE COMEDY TALENT HERE TONIGHT THAN I’VE EVER SEEN AT ANY SHOWCASE, BUT I HAVE TO SAY THAT NUMBER FOUR, THE JACK NICHOLSON IMPERSONATOR, IN MY OPINION WAS THE BEST". IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT MY DECISION WAS NOT MET WITH TOTAL APPROVAL, BUT IT SEEMED TO BE ACCEPTED.

THEN I BLACKED OUT AND AGAIN WOKE UP STANDING OUTSIDE MY CAR.WHAT’S NEXT? ARE THEY GOING TO ASK ME TO GET THEM AUDITIONS FOR "STAR SEARCH?" I AM A WRECK AGAIN.

REGARDING THE ALIENS, THEY DO NOT VERBALIZE, NOR DO I HEAR THEIR THOUGHTS IN MY MIND. I JUST SEEM TO HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT IT IS THEY WANT ME TO DO. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY SEEM TO WANT ME TO DO MORE AND MORE.

LAST NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME, THEY CONTACTED ME WITHOUT AN ABDUCTION. I WAS WATCHING "I’M A CELEBRITY...GET ME OUT OF HERE!" WHEN I FELT THE TELEPATHY OF THE JACK NICHOLSON IMPERSONATOR. I GOT A DEFINITE FEELING HE WANTED TO KNOW IF I’D CONTACTED ANYBODY ABOUT HIS "STAR SEARCH" APPEARANCE? WHEN I MENTIONED "STAR SEARCH" TO YOU, I SAID IT AS A JOKE, NOT REALLY BELIEVING THAT’S WHAT THE ALIENS WANTED. I GUESS THE JOKE WAS ON ME, BECAUSE AN APPEARANCE ON THAT SHOW TURNED OUT TO BE 1ST PRIZE IN THEIR COMEDY CONTEST THAT I JUDGED! AND NOW THE WINNER EXPECTS ME TO MAKE IT HAPPEN! ISN’T IT IRONIC THAT AN ALIEN WANTS TO DO AN IMPRESSION OF JACK NICHOLSON TALKING TO ALIENS FROM MARS?

FOR THE FIRST TIME, I’VE GONE FROM UNCOMFORTABLE TO SCARED. THE "STAR SEARCH" PRODUCER IS ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS, AND THESE LIFE FORMS KNOW THIS. WHAT DO I DO? THERE’S NOWHERE I CAN HIDE. ARE THEY BLUFFING? YOU PROBABLY THINK I’VE LOST IT.

WHEN I ASKED HIM HOW THEY TALK TO HIM HE EXPLAINED. I FEEL WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO SAY TO ME BUT I ANSWER BACK VOCALLY. THAT WAY, I CAN BE CERTAIN I’M COMMUNICATING. HOWEVER, WHEN THEY DID THE TALENT SHOW, THEY ACTUALLY SPOKE AND TOLD THE JOKES IN ENGLISH EVEN THOUGH THEY STILL HAD THEIR ALIEN FORMS. IT DIDN’T BOTHER ME THOUGH, I’VE SEEN STRANGER LOOKING COMEDIANS AT THE LAUGH FACTORY ON SUNSET!

THE JACK NICHOLSON IMPERSONATOR CONTACTED ME TWICE YESTERDAY. THE FIRST TIME TELLING ME IT WAS FRIDAY AND BUGGING ME TO CALL THE "STAR SEARCH" PRODUCER BEFORE THE WEEKEND. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN HOW THINGS ARE DONE IN HOLLYWOOD AND THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER IF I CALLED HIM WHEN I ALSO HAD OTHER THINGS TO DISCUSS. THAT WAY I COULD JUST THROW IN, "BY THE WAY, I JUST SAW THIS GREAT YOUNG COMIC WHO DOES A FABULOUS JACK NICHOLSON IMPRESSION." THINGS WORK BETTER WHEN YOU DON’T ASK FOR FAVORS.

HE COMMUNICATED THAT IN THEIR WORLD THERE’S NO PRETENSE. AT FIRST I TOOK THIS AS AN INSULT, BUT I THEN REALIZED HE WAS CORRECT AND ADMITTED "THERE’S A LOT OF DECEPTION AND MANIPULATION THAT GOES ON DOWN HERE. "

THEN SOMEHOW HE GOT "MANIPULATION" CONFUSED WITH "MULTIPLICATION" AND BRAGGED THAT HE COULD ANSWER THE MOST DIFFICULT MATHEMATICAL EQUATION IN LESS THAN A SECOND. I TOLD HIM I COULD DO THE SAME WITH A CALCULATOR. AN ARGUMENT ENSUED AND WE BOTH GOT ANGRY, ME RAISING MY VOICE AND HIM SCREAMING TELEPATHICALLY. THEN HE LEFT. AT LEAST I STOOD UP TO THEM FOR THE FIRST TIME, EVEN THOUGH I NEEDED THREE EXCEDRINS AND A XANAX WHEN IT WAS OVER!

AFTER GIVING ME AN HOUR TO COOL OFF, HE RETURNED AND TOLD ME "THE COUNCIL" HAD DISCUSSED IT AND DECIDED THEY WOULD DO IT MY WAY, BUT THEY WEREN’T GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THE COWS COME HOME! I THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE THAT HE USED THAT EXPRESSION, THEN I REALIZED HE WAS PATRONIZING ME AND TOLD HIM SO. HE GOT ANGRY AGAIN AND SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE A BIG "APRIL FOOL’S SURPRISE" IF HE WASN’T BOOKED BY THE END OF MARCH. DO YOU THINK THAT WAS AN IDLE THREAT?IN ANY CASE, WE BOTH CALMED DOWN, AND HE TOLD ME HE WAS INDEED GOING TO TAKE ON HUMAN FORM FOR HIS TELEVISION APPEARANCE.

HE THEN WENT FURTHER INTO THE ALIEN’S MASTER PLAN - AFTER WINNING ON "STAR SEARCH", THEY INTEND FOR HIM TO GET HIS OWN SITCOM WHERE HE WILL PLAY AN ALIEN (OF COURSE). ARSENIO HALL (HOST OF STAR SEARCH) WILL BE OFFERED THE ROLE OF ZOOMPAH, HIS BUMBLING ALIEN COHORT. I ASKED IF THEY WERE PLANNING TO USE ME AT ALL IN HIS SITCOM AND HE SAID "WE’LL BE IN CONTACT!"

TRUTHFULLY,AILEEN, THIS CAN’T ALL REALLY BE HAPPENING. SHOULD I SEE A DOCTOR?

LAST WEEKEND I WAS PRETTY MUCH RESIGNED TO THE FACT THAT AT SOME POINT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO CALL THE STAR SEARCH PRODUCER. ON SUNDAY, I CAME UP WITH A RUSE. I ASKED JACK IF HE WOULDN’T RATHER BE ON AMERICAN IDOL SINCE IT GOT MUCH HIGHER RATINGS THAN STAR SEARCH. MY THOUGHT BEING THAT SINCE AMERICAN IDOL IS ONLY FOR SINGERS, HE WOULD FLUNK THE AUDITION. NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR A GUY SINGING LIKE JACK NICHOLSON! HE WAS KIND OF INTRIGUED FOR THE MOMENT BUT CAME BACK LATER AND SAID THE COUNCIL KNEW WHAT I WAS UP TO AND WAS ADVISING ME STRONGLY TO CALL "STAR SEARCH" BY THE END OF THIS WEEK. NO MORE WAITING UNTIL APRIL 1. THEN HE LEFT WITHOUT EVEN GIVING ME THE COURTESY OF A REACH-AROUND.(A HUG) THEY OBVIOUSLY DIDN’T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING I HAD TO SAY ANY MORE.

NATURALLY, SUNDAY NIGHT I WAS A TOTAL WRECK . THEN 5.AM. MONDAY MORNING, I GET A CALL ON MY PRIVATE NUMBER FROM A WOMAN WHO INTRODUCES HERSELF AS "JEAN BARRIE" FROM MASTERSON RESEARCH. SHE SAYS THAT SHE’S AWARE OF THE FACT THAT THIS GROUP OF ALIENS IS TRYING TO USE ME AND WAS FLYING IN THAT DAY FROM TEXAS BECAUSE SHE HAD TO TALK TO ME. I PICKED HER UP AT THE AIRPORT AND SHE ASKED ME TO TELL HER EVERYTHING THAT HAD HAPPENED. AFTER TELLING HER THE WHOLE STORY, SHE RELAYED THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION TO ME:MASTERSON RESEARCH IS A SECRET FACILITY THAT ONLY APPROXIMATELY 50 PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT. 30 OF THEM ARE BIOLOGISTS AND ASTRONOMERS WHO WORK THERE. THEY ARE NOT IN ANY WAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. IT WAS BUILT AND IS MAINTAINED TO DEAL EXCLUSIVELY WITH THE THREAT OF THESE PARTICULAR ALIENS. SHE SAID THESE ALIENS HAVE BEEN PLANNING THIS MOVE SINCE THE FIRST MASS COMMUNICATION (RADIO) WAS INVENTED. THEY DON’T HAVE SUPERIOR WEAPONRY, SO THEY NEED TO PUT US IN A STATE WHERE THEY CAN DESTROY US WITHOUT OUR BEING ABLE TO FIGHT BACK.

SHE SAID A LOT OF OTHER THINGS (WE SPENT 11 HOURS TOGETHER, INCLUDING DINNER AND DRINKS).THE NEXT DAY, TUESDAY, I FLEW BACK WITH HER ON A PRIVATE PLANE TO MASTERSON RESEARCH, WHERE I MET WITH TWENTY-EIGHT OF THE MASTERSON PEOPLE (TWO OF THE BIOLOGISTS WERE PLAYING GOLF AND COULDN’T DEAL WITH THE FACT THAT THIS WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING). EVERYBODY WAS IN AGREEMENT THAT THE ALIEN PLAN WAS TO HAVE "JACK" WIN ON "STAR SEARCH" AND, AS WE DISCUSSED, GET HIS OWN SITCOM WHERE HE WOULD PLAY AN ALIEN. IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD, IT WOULD BECOME THE NUMBER ONE SHOW ON TELEVISION INTERNATIONALLY. IT WOULD BE DUBBED INTO EVERY MAJOR LANGUAGE. THERE WOULD BE KIDS LUNCHBOXES, ACTION FIGURES, POSTERS - THE LARGEST MERCHANDISING EFFORT IN HISTORY.FROM THE MILLIONS OF IMAGES OF JACK, THE ALIENS WOULD THEN AT A DESIGNATED TIME SEND OUT A MIND-CONTROLLING SIGNAL WHICH WOULD REACH MOST PEOPLE ON THE PLANET AND MAKE THEM COMPLETELY DOCILE. THOSE WHO WERE NOT REACHED WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER AN ORGANIZED EFFORT TO STOP THE ALIENS WHEN THEY START THIS WAR OF THE WORLDS.

THE ONLY DISAGREEMENT AMONG THE MASTERONIANS SEEMED TO BE WHETHER OR NOT ARSENIO HALL WAS ALREADY CONTROLLED BY THE ALIENS SINCE HAVING HIM AS SECOND BANANA ON JACK’S SHOW WAS DEFINITELY PART OF THE PLAN. JEAN BARRIE FELT STRONGLY THAT HE WAS, BUT THE OTHERS MOSTLY DISAGREED.

THE MASTERSON PEOPLE AND JEAN DIDN’T WANT TO EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THEY KNEW ABOUT THESE ALIENS OR HOW LONG MASTERSON HAD BEEN THERE . IT’S REALLY NOT THAT MUCH TO LOOK AT, JUST A SERIES OF OFFICES AND LABORATORIES ABOVE A STAPLES. NOR WOULD THEY SAY HOW THEY KNEW THE ALIENS HAD DECIDED TO USE ME AS THEIR PLAYMAKER. THEY JUST SAID THAT THEY HAD THEIR DNA AND HAD BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR YEARS.

THEY HAD PERFECTED A GENETICALLY-ALTERED EVERYDAY BACTERIA THAT COULD TOTALLY DESTROY THEM. ON THE FLIGHT BACK, SHE GAVE ME A GLOBE WHICH CONTAINED THIS BACTERIA.THEIR PLAN WAS SIMPLE. THEY WANTED ME TO SUMMON JACK, TELL HIM THAT I GOT HIM AN AUDITION FOR STAR SEARCH AND, IN THE PROCESS, GIVE HIM THIS GLOBE AS A SUPPOSED PRESENT FROM ME TO THE COUNCIL. AS SOON AS THE GLOBE CAME IN CONTACT WITH THEIR SHIP THE BACTERIA WOULD BE RELEASED AND THEY WOULD ALL DIE. THEN THE OTHERS BACK HOME WOULD REALIZE WE WERE ON TO THEM AND FORGET ABOUT SCREWING AROUND WITH EARTH. THEY WOULD THEN PROBABLY GO RIGHT TO WORK ON DESTROYING ANOTHER PEACE-LOVING PLANET.

FRIDAY WAS D-DAY. JEAN WAS HIDDEN AWAY AT THE SPORTSMAN’S LODGE, A HOTEL NOT FAR FROM ME . SHE SEEMED TO THINK IF SHE WERE ANYWHERE IN MY HOUSE JACK MIGHT BE ABLE TO SENSE HER PRESENCE AND IMMINENT DANGER. I SUMMONED JACK AND TOLD HIM I HAD SET UP HIS STAR SEARCH AUDITION FOR NEXT WEEK.HE WAS ELATED AND IMMEDIATELY SAID HE NEEDED TO GO SHOPPING TO GET HUMAN CLOTHES. I RECOMMENDED BLOOMINGDALE’S BUT TOLD HIM THEY WERE KIND OF PRICEY. HE LAUGHED OR, TO BE MORE DESCRIPTIVE, MADE THAT HIGH-PITCHED CLANKING SOUND THAT I HEARD THE FIRST TIME I WAS ABDUCTED. I THEN GAVE HIM THE GLOBE AND SAID IT WAS A PRESENT. HE ACCEPTED IT AND SEEMED TOUCHED BY THE GESTURE. I REALIZED THAT EVEN THOUGH I’D HAD ARGUMENTS WITH HIM, I HAD KIND OF GROWN TO LIKE JACK AND DIDN’T REALLY WANT TO DO THIS. I COULDN’T FIGURE OUT HOW THEY COULD HAVE SUCH A GOOD SIDE TO THEM AND ALSO BE SO WAR-LIKE. IF THEY KNEW WE WERE ON TO THEM AND COULD KILL THEM WOULDN’T THAT BE ENOUGH TO MAKE THEM GO AWAY?

AFTER SITTING HIM DOWN, I SAID "IN YOUR NICHOLSON ROUTINE, YOU SAY CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?" I SUPPOSE I HAD NO RIGHT TO DO THIS, BUT I BROKE DOWN AT THAT POINT AND TOLD HIM WHAT WE WERE UP TO. THIS WAS SO FOOLISH. I WAS NOT ONLY JEOPARDIZING MY OWN LIFE, BUT THE LIVES OF ALL PEOPLE ON EARTH.

HE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN STARING INTENTLY AT THE GLOBE. AFTER WHAT SEEMED LIKE AN ETERNITY BUT WAS PROBABLY ONLY ABOUT 2 MINUTES, HE TOLD ME I WAS RIGHT, THAT THE ALTERED EVERYDAY BACTERIA IN THE GLOBE WOULD KILL THEM ALL. THEN, WITHOUT EVEN A THANK YOU, HE WAS GONE.

WHEN JEAN BARRIE HEARD WHAT I DID, SHE WAS FURIOUS. SHE SAID THEY WOULD PROBABLY LEAVE AND NOT COME BACK BUT THAT I HAD NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER TO TAKE THAT CHANCE. I SAID "IF WE KILL THEM, AREN’T WE JUST AS BAD AS THEY ARE?" SHE THEN ACTUALLY CALLED ME AN IDIOT AND HUNG UP THE PHONE!

YESTERDAY, SHE CALLED FROM MASTERSON, CONFIRMED THAT THE ALIENS HAD LEFT AND APOLOGIZED FOR CALLING ME AN IDIOT, BUT REITEREATED THAT I HAD NO RIGHT TO TAKE THE CHANCE I DID. SHE SAID SHE ENJOYED THE TIME WE SPENT TOGETHER, BUT WOULD NEVER CONTACT ME OR SEE ME AGAIN AND THAT MASTERSON WOULD NOW SLOWLY DISBAND AND THE PROFESSIONALS INVOLVED WOULD GO WHERE THEY FEEL NEEDED.

SHE SAID THAT THESE WERE THE ONLY ALIENS THAT POSED A THREAT TO THE EARTH AND THAT THE BEST THING FOR ME TO DO WAS TREAT THE WHOLE THING AS A "DREAM".

SO YOU CAN STOP WATCHING STAR SEARCH AND I CAN GET BACK TO THE REST OF MY LIFE AND THE WORLD WILL NEVER REALIZE HOW CLOSE IT CAME TO BE BEING DESTROYED BY A SIT-COM.

I (Aileen) ASKED HIM LOTS OF QUESTIONS: HERE ARE THE ANSWERS.

1. I TRIED TO FIND OUT ABOUT ALL THE THINGS THE MASTERSON PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT THESE ALIENS AND HOW THEY KNEW THAT THEY HAD BEEN IN CONTACT WITH ME. THEY DIDN’T WANT TO GET SPECIFIC OTHER THAN TO TELL ME THAT FOLLOWING JACK AND HIS FRIENDS WAS THE WHOLE REASON FOR MASTERSON RESEARCH BEING THERE AND THAT THIS WHOLE THING HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE A WHILE.

2. I DID ASK JEAN ABOUT THE GLOBE. SHE SAID I COULD KEEP IT AND SHOULD EMPTY OUT THE CONTENTS INTO MY GARBAGE DISPOSAL. IT WAS OF ABSOLUTELY NO DANGER TO HUMANS OR ANIMALS BUT IT MIGHT BEGIN TO SMELL AFTER A WHILE IF I LEFT IT. SO I STILL HAVE IT.

3. IT DIDN’T SEEM THAT JACK EVER KNEW WHAT I WAS THINKING. I SEEMED TO KNOW WHAT THEY WANTED ME TO DO AND WHAT JACK WAS SAYING TO ME. HOWEVER, TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM, I SPOKE OUT LOUD IN ENGLISH. SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE ACCEPTED BY JACK WERE VETOED BY THE COUNCIL.

4. YES, I BELIEVE THAT THESE ALIENS WERE TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE EARTH AND I BELIEVE THE MASTERSON PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAY THAT THIS WAS THE ONLY GROUP OF ALIENS THAT HAS THAT AGENDA.FINALLY I HOPE I NEVER HEAR FROM JACK OR THE MASTERSON PEOPLE AGAIN. I NEVER EVEN WANT TO WATCH ARESENIO HALL AGAIN!

SENATOR ORIN HATCH

WASHINGTON, DC

In April 2004, Senator Hatch's DC office received two visitors with an unusual request.Sterling Allan, a constituent from Utah, and his associate, Harry Dschaak, from Idaho, a few weeks earlier had a covertly-arranged, in-person visit with Area 51 microbiologist, Dr. Dan Burisch.

Burisch had told Allan and Dschaak that he wished to have a congressional hearing in which he might testify about some of the black op projects in which he had been involved, including the creation of designer viruses in which he had inserted an identifying signature sequence to prove the laboratory origin of the virus.

Burisch also has laboratory ties to the Gulf War Syndrome which has turned out to be a friendly-fire weapon of mass destruction.

The testimony would include Burisch disclosing his experience for nearly a year of working on a daily basis with an extraterrestrial at Area 51, taking tissue samples, and communicating telepathically with the being.

Included with the briefing material that the pair left with Hatch's office was a book by the well-respected research and field specialist, Dr. Steven Greer, called Disclosure. The book contains "over five dozen top-secret military, government, intelligence and corporate witnesses to secret projects tell their true stories which disclose the greatest covert program in world history. This explosive testimony by actual government insiders proves that UFOs are real, that some are of extraterrestrial origin."

Within a few days, Hatch's office responded that there would never be any congressional hearings on the subject of ETs or UFOs.

Allan then composed an open letter to Senator Hatch, itemizing a number of relevant questions, and requesting that the Sentator put his response in writing for public record.Finally, on July 7, the Senator mailed a reply in which he said: "As you, I find the possibility of intelligent life on other planets intriguing; however, there is not sufficient evidence to determine whether such life exists. I have reviewed the information you recommended to me, and I can assure you that your concerns are unnecessary. The Federal government does not have any information about extraterrestrial life to conceal, and there are no secret projects for me to investigate."

The full text of the letter is posted for review by the public.

According to the Sept. 2002 scientifically conducted Roper poll, roughly seven in ten adults in the U.S. think that the government does not tell everything it knows about extraterrestrial life and UFOs. One in seven adults in the U.S. say they have had a close encounter of some kind with Unidentified Flying Objects. Extrapolated to the U.S population in general that amounts to tens of millions of people who will have a hard time believing the Senator's statement, based on their first-hand experience.

FLYING "MAN" IN BLACK IN RUSSIA

The following article was taken from "The Flying Saucer Review."

A FLYING 'MAN' IN BLACK IN RUSSIA
By Vladimir V. Rubtsov

I would like to supplement a report which was published in your magazine. This was the account of the "flying" humanoid in Puerto Rico.

Several years ago I was in Kislovodsk (USSR) where I spoke with a witness of a similar case which she alleges took place in 1936 in Kazakhstan. She was a Mrs. E. E. Loznaya, and her report was recorded. It later formed part of an article of mine which appeared in "Technics for Youth."

"This event took place in the winter of 1936 in Sovkhoz (state farm) 'Oktyabrskiy' in the Kazakhstan, Pavlodar region. I was then fifteen. Early in the morning I went to school by a lonely country road.

"It was already light, although the sun had not risen. The weather was fine and it was freezing. Suddenly I caught sight of a dark point moving rapidly in the sky on my left. It came closer, grew larger, and in a matter of seconds I saw a manlike figure dressed in black and seen in profile. The course of its flight formed an angle of about 60 degrees with the road.

"This 'man' was, to my mind, of medium height, his black clothes covered him completely, like overalls. His head (more exactly -- something like a helmet) and massive ('square') arms tightly fixed to his body were perfectly visible. I saw no hands and feet. I could see behind his back an oval thing like a ruck sack.

"Looking with fright at the 'flying man' I noticed suddenly that he had changed his course and was now flying towards me. When he turned (I saw) his right arm was slightly bent at the elbow. Now the 'man' was seen full face, but I could not examine his features for in place of a face there was just an entirely black surface.

"At that instant I heard an increasing rumble as if it was a flying mechanism and not a living man. By now the distance between us had shortened to about 40 meters. My numb terror had passed and I had turned back in search of shelter but there was none on the snow-covered slope. I then turned again towards the 'flying man' and.... saw nobody. Maybe he had made an abrupt change in his course, or maybe he had dived into a snowdrift.... the next moment I was running towards my home.

"This sighting lasted about one minute, but I have remembered it for all these years. I can also add that I have seen no similar sighting, either before or after that occasion."

COULEE NEWS, West Salem, WI, January 4, 2007

MAN BAT TALE TOPS 2006 FOR WEIRDNESS
BY Randy Erickson

As we start another year, I know there are at least a few among us who will look back at 2006 and say, "Whoa, what a weird year that was!" In fact, 2006 might be the year that puts the Coulee Region on the map ... for weirdness.

By far the weirdest news of the year was something we haven't reported on ... UNTIL NOW! Now it can be told, the strange, bizarre and kind spooky story of the Beast of Briggs Road, the Man Bat.

I have to admit that this won't be news to some of our readers, especially those tapped into weird news sources. The encounter on Holmen's Briggs Road between two area residents and a creature that combined features of a human and a bat was first reported in mid-October on a web site published by author Linda Godfrey - www.cnb-scene.com.

Godrey got her start writing about weirdness back in 1992, after the New Year's Eve 1991 sighting outside Elkhorn, WI, of a strange man-dog/wolf creature, something akin to a werewolf. Godfrey, a part-time reporter at the local newspaper had drawing skills in addition to her writing chops. Being a slow news week because of the holiday, she latched onto the story and gave it a big splash in the paper: THE BEAST OF BRAY ROAD.

"We thought people would just get a chuckle and it'd go away after a few weeks," Godfrey said.

It didn't go away, though. That was the start of something big for Godfrey, who soon was getting calls from other people who had seen similar beasts. Now that she's got several books out on cryptozoological phenomena and general weirdness, plus web sites devoted to those things, she's gotten the reputation as the person to go to with strange tales.

And that's just what those two area men did after their September 26 encounter on Briggs Road. Maybe they would have come to me first if they'd known I'd investigated a report of a ghostly cat-headed snake demon during my tenure at the La Crosse Tribune.

But they didn't, so their tale comes courtesy of the interviews and on-site investigation Godfrey did several weeks after the sighting.

According to Godfrey's account, a 53-year-old LaCrosse man and his 25-year-old son were driving on Briggs Road in Holmen at about 9:30 p.m. on that Tuesday. Suddenly, a creature that resembled the demonic vampire out of "Bram Soker's Dracula" or "Van Helsing" flew right at their windshield, flying straight up into the night sky just inches from striking the glass.

In a written description, the older man -- who would only give Godfrey his Cherokee name, Wohali -- said the creature had leathery wings like a bag, only these wings stetched 10 to 12 feet from tip to tip.

The creature had pronounced ribs, human-like legs with claws for toes and arm-like appendages tipped with claws. The creature's eyes glowed yellow, and the face had a snarling expression, with rows of sharp teeth.

To Wohali, the creature seemed hungry. It also seemed angry to have been seen and gave an unearthly howl as it flew out of sight.

Both Wohali and his son became violently sick to their stomach, and Wohali remained ill for a week after the encounter. The son was so shaken up by the incident that he would not talk to Godfrey about it, she said, but Wohali was willing to relive the experience for Godfrey because he wanted people to "know what is out there."

Godfrey isn't so sure exactly "what is out there" on Briggs Road, but she hopes that news of the sighting will inspire others to come forward if they have seen a strange creature in the area.

"You can speculate until the cows come home -- or until the werewolves come home -- and you don't know," Godfrey said. "I don't know and don't claim to know what these creatures are."

Wohali's account and his sincerity convinced Godfrey that he had a "credible sighting" of something she has not heard described before.

"He certainly has nothing to gain by making it up" -- or talking about it, she said. "He believes the more he talks about it, the more power it gives the creature."

One thing's for sure: Godfrey plans to include the Briggs Road episode in "Strange Wisconsin," one of several books she has in the works. She expects the book to be out by next fall.

Although she can't explain the weird experiences people around the state have reported, Godfrey said she feels it is imporant that somebody record those experiences. The Man Bat of Briggs Road ranks right up there as far as notable weird experiences.

"I do think this sighting that Wohali had is an extremely interesting and exciting sighting," Godfrey said. "I do think it should have some serious consideration given to it."

SHELL OIL FOUND A UFO IN OCEAN

The following article was extracted from the Cambridge UFO Research Group in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. The caption above the article says, "True or False? Shell Oil Discovers a UFO."

The Shell Oil Company oil rig, Pacesetter 2, was set up on the Continental Shelf, 90 miles off the coast of New Jersey, in the area known as George's Bank.

On their first drill test, they struck metal. Thinking it was a sunken ship or submarine from World War II, they checked with the War Department and West Germany, but there was no record of any losses in this area.

While the check was being carried out, Engineers on Pacesetter 2 lowered a sonar device, which recorded a round object approximately 50 feet in diameter, in 600 feet of water.

On June 8, 4 winches with grappling hooks at the ends of the cables, were set up. Each was equipped with 1,000 feet of cable. It took them 90 minute to get the hooks in position and a further two hours to raise it to the surface.

It was covered in Barnacles, except near the top center (which was similar to a conning tower). It had small rectangular openings all the way around it.

The rig oceanographer estimated by the appearance of the object, that it must have been in the water for at least 400 years. When the barnacles were chipped off, a flying saucer shape was revealed. Immediately the oil rig boss radioed his superiors in Atlantic City.

Three Shell officials arrived by helicopter, along with a physicist from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As the barnacles were removed, the object appeared to have its original shine.

The physicist then entered it from an opening in the bottom and came out dumbfounded, saying the electrical equipment was out of this world. He could not figure out how to use it or its propulsion system.

The physicist and five mechanics proceeded to try and take it apart. They raised it higher by winches so that they could walk underneath it better. They removed the rim which was about 6 inches thick and took ten men to ease it onto the deck. The physicist then proceeded to run a carbon test. The metal was 600 years old. He then made tests on the metal, but was unable to identify the material from which it was made. He next used a Geiger counter to test for radioactivity, but there was no reading.

Next, the physicist dropped into the control room through the bottom of the craft, so that he could examine it better, and the strange panel boards. He climbed inside again with a mechanic. They were inside for about 20 minutes when a whirring sound was heard. Then a large cylinder was lowered from under the belly of the craft. A sliding door opened and the physicist and the mechanic walked out, the physicist holding a shiny ball about the size of a basketball. It was silvery and appeared to be solid. He held it at arm's length and then let go of it. It did not fall. He said he thought it was an antigravity machine. He ran a carbon and chemical test on it, but it defied analysis.

This ball was found in the exact center of the craft, and he said he believed that the ball could make the craft simulate a planet with its own gravitational pull. This would keep occupants from floating around during space flights.

Another helicopter arrived from the government, carrying five members of the CIA. They said that there was a ship on the way to take this craft. When asked by whose authority they were told... THE HIGHEST.... and produced a letter. The stationery was white and simple. In small letters at the top... THE WHITE HOUSE.

The CIA then tried to stop the physicist from dismantling the object, but a Shell official told them everything on the rig belonged to the Shell Oil Company, and until such time as the ship arrived, they would not surrender the saucer.

The physicist and the mechanic then continued to dismantle the craft, and removed the panel boards from the Control Room. The components were nothing like anything we have here. The physicist then climbed back into the craft and came out again holding a gadget that looked vaguely like a weapon. It was cylindrical with a red button on one end. He walked to the edge of the deck and pointed the tube on out at the water and pressed the button... There was a blinding flash as a thin white ray shot out and traveled about a mile before it faded out.

The mechanic then went back into the craft and brought out a small control box. Facing the craft, he pressed a button on the top end and a panel near the conning tower slid open and a slender metal rod emerged. It was about 3 feet long. He manipulated it skyward and pressed a button on the control board. A bolt of electricity, resembling lightning, shot from the end of the rod, and following this, was an ozone odor.

One of the onlookers pointed skyward to the clouds, estimated to be at 10,000 feet... It had punched a hole through the cloud.

The physicist then went back into the craft and emerged with an assortment of objects that looked like weapons, but he was afraid to test them. He carefully laid them on a tarpaulin. Some were as small as a cigarette packet, while others were large and menacing looking. They had buttons on small panel boards.

He also had what looked like a lump of putty. He carefully broke off a small piece and threw it far out into the sea. The result... an explosion that threw some of the riggers off their feet.

Then the CIA ship appeared heading for Pacesetter 2, and the CIA agents on the rig started covering the strange looking weapons and placing them carefully in duffle bags. These, along with the saucer and parts, were then transferred to the ship.

The person who reported this incident returned to Atlantic City with Shell officials, knowing they would never see or hear of this UFO ever again. All the men on the rig were sworn to secrecy not to divulge any of these happenings.

No announcements about this UFO have ever been released, except in the Australian International UFO Research magazine. We do not know if this article is true or not, if any of you know anything about it please write in. It does make for interesting reading, however! - Editor.

TIM CULLEN

From: www.ufocasebook.com/1978cullen.html

Tim Cullen is a hard working cement contractor from Yuma, Colorado. He was raised there, and resides with his wife Janet, and three daughters. Three things happened to Cullen in 1978 that changed his life forever. He suffered a terrible car accident, saw his first UFO, and suddenly realized that both events had appeared to him in dreams well before the actual occurrences. Was he then also "psychic? "

"The events that have happened to me over the past twenty-seven years have had an enormous effect on my life and what I believe," Cullen, a practicing Catholic, told me.

"In a short span of time in 1978 it was revealed to me that we are not the only intelligent life in the universe, and it was also proven to me that God is with us always, without a doubt."

On April 2, 1978 Tim Cullen dreamed that he was in a terrible car accident. On April 9, 1978, he and his friend Ken Ruberg, were driving on Highway 34 when Tim realized he was living out his dream.

"I thought about stopping and going back to town but didn't," Tim said.
Seconds later, he rolled the car five times, breaking his neck on the first roll. Ruberg helped Cullen up out of the ditch, and waved down a passing station wagon. They took Cullen to the nearest hospital. The event was a replay of his dream.

While in the hospital, under sedation, Cullen dreamed of an encounter with a UFO. Returning home from a medical check-up in Denver on May 30, 1978, Tim and his wife Janet, a registered nurse, were driving north on Highway 59 near the Vernon Road junction (about a quarter mile north of it).
It was dark, after 11:00pm at night. Tim saw a large dimly lit object pass in front of the car, go behind a low hill, and re-emerge then, "It went out a ways, along side, and as I brought the car down to a stop, it came back toward us a bit. I backed the car up, and the UFO went out to the west of us. It came in under the power and telephone lines and hovered over a pasture.

"It was about a hundred foot long and twenty foot wide, and about ten foot high," Cullen relates. It didn't make any noise. There were two diffused lights that shone at the back of the craft, one a light yellow, and the other red. We couldn't see very good. We sat there and stared at it for awhile. After we looked at the two lights for a few minutes I turned to my wife and told her we might as well go on to town."

Janet was five months pregnant with their first child. The Cullens have no memory of being taken aboard the craft, nor of any missing time.
"Now, when I think about it, when I turned and started driving, I did have an odd feeling, but it didn't really register with me. I remember coming back to Yuma, but not looking at a clock. I was kind of shocked by the whole thing. I didn't really think of looking at a clock," Cullen said.

Twenty years later in 1998, while setting rebar at a job, Tim Cullen hit his thumb with a hammer. Sometime later, he thought the finger might be dislocated so he went to see Dr. Mark Hubner at the Yuma Clinic. The doctor suggested they take an X-ray. On returning with the film, Dr. Hubner asked, "Did you know you have a piece of metal in your arm?"

At that moment, Tim Cullen knew what the object was. He knew that he and Janet had experienced missing time on May 30, 1978.

In 1980, Cullen experienced another encounter, at exactly the same spot! The craft hovered and two diffused yellow lights came on. Then one started blinking, and he stared at it.

"This can't be happening!" he thought. "Not right here!"

The craft kept moving in back of, and out from behind a low hill. Then it moved slowly away from him. Figuring they didn't want him to see them, he got back in the car and returned to Yuma. Again, in 1994, with his wife and three daughters, they encountered a smaller craft with a strobe light, about forty miles south of Yuma.

"It hovered off the road in front of us, and we stopped and looked at it for five to ten minutes. It moved around for awhile and finally went off to the north," Cullen related.

"The girls seemed mystified by it, but they were younger and I don't really think they realized the enormity of what they were seeing."

Tim didn't think much about UFOs or abduction before his experiences, and had never heard about alien implants. But after seeing the X-ray, and knowing where the object in the film came from, he started exploring the Internet about the subject of UFOs and abduction. He joined an on-line encounter group, and learned about a man in California, Dr. Roger K. Leir, who removed what were reported to be "Alien Implants."

He and Leir communicated for over a year. The ninth alleged alien implant was surgically removed from the left forearm of Tim Cullen on Saturday, February 5, 2000. The operation was performed at a medical facility in Thousand Oaks, California. The procedure was performed by a surgical team led by Dr Roger Leir; the surgery by Dr. John D, Matrisciano.

"I know nothing about UFOs or implants," Dr. Matrisciano said after the operation, "but I think that's what is needed in this case; to be objective."

Removal of the small, "melon seed" type implant went very quickly, and smoothly. The operation was videotaped by The Learning Channel for an upcoming show. Recently, at a MUFON Board meeting, I saw videotape of the object that was removed, which was shot through a microscope. The object was about 7 centimeters long and 4 centimeters wide. It is covered by an amazing reddish-brown membrane and has several long, proceptors (which were connected to nerve endings) on one end. A dark area reveals a metal core. When a magnet was placed a half-inch from the object, it literally leapt to the magnet! As yet, the object has not been sent to anyone for analysis. An appropriate laboratory is being sought, as are funds for performing various tests of the object.

Tim Cullen has become very outspoken about his experiences and about the object that was recently removed from his arm. Unlike others who have had implants removed, Tim has allowed his name to be used in the press, has given out his phone number, and has recently established an Email address: ufogoat_2000@yahoo.com.

On returning to Yuma, Colorado after the implant removal, Cullen told his story to Yuma's local paper, The Yuma Pioneer, and addressed both the congregations of his Catholic Church, and his wife's Presbyterian Church. He has also been on the Art Bell show with Dr. Roger Leir, and The Dreamland show with host Whitley Streiber.

While at one of the church presentations a woman reached out and touched Tim's sleeve. "My husband and I know exactly what you've been through," she told him. Tim plans to talk with them. Another man E-mailed Tim and told him of an experience he had had. Many have come forward with stories since his return from the implant removal. "A lot of people around here have seen strange lights in the skies," Cullen reports.

Yuma is an agricultural area. They raise a lot of corn, pigs, and cattle here. Many of the ranchers have reported cattle mutilations, several within the last few months. One lost a prize bull. Understandably, the ranchers are angered and frustrated about these events. They don't understand why they happen.
Tim doesn't like not being able to remember what happened to him when the object was planted in his wrist. He is considering going through hypnotic regression in California to see if his subconscious can reveal any answers, as it has in others. He now admits he thinks he has been abducted. Why is he being so open?

Analyses from seven of the eight other implants removed have shown that the membrane surrounding the metal objects seems to keep them protected from foreign object rejection.

"This could be a huge medical breakthrough for doctors who want to use biological, metal, or implants of other materials, in their patients. Several prestigious labs have chemically broken down the make-up of the membrane. With the proper research, funded by large pharmaceutical companies, human body rejection of such implants could save many lives in the future," Cullen said.

"I'm coming forward because someone has to put a face to the alien stories, and cause more people to come forward," Tim Cullen told the Pioneer. "The more people we can find with implants, the more evidence we're going to have. We can study things a lot more and get things done; get rid of the stigma around it."

Tim Cullen says proudly. "The truth needs to come out!"

A CASE SIMILAR TO BETTY ANDREASSON'S

THIS LETTER WAS SENT TO ME BY WAY OF R.M., HOLLYWOOD, CA, FROM A B. B. IN MISSOURI.

I do believe in UFOs, and I believe that they do have a lot to do with lifeforms from other worlds.

Strange things have happened to me and to other members of my family as far back as I can remember, and one of the strange things happened to my mother even before I was born.

In September 1929, my mother left home one morning to walk seven miles to my grandmothers. For two days she was missing. On the morning of the third day she walked through the backdoor in to Grandmother's kitchen. She had no memory whatsoever of where she had been during the period of missing time. No one could convince her that three days had passed between the time she left home and the time that she arrived at Grandmother's house.

My mother had lost her first child (a stillbirth) two months before and she took the death of her son very hard. Her doctor concluded that the loss of the child had somehow caused her three day memory loss.

Mother and Dad lived in a small Missouri town where everyone knew everyone. No one saw my mother during the period of time that she was missing. When mother arrived at Grandmothers she was as neat and as clean as when she left home. Anyone lost and wandering around for three days should be tired, dirty and very hungry. Mother was not. This mystery of where Mom had spent those three days was never solved. In 1929 no one had ever heard of flying saucers nor of an abduction of someone by creatures of a UFO.

In 1967, I left work one night to drive fifteen miles to my home in Independence, Missouri. I remember turning onto 291 Highway in Lees Summit, Missouri. The next thing I remember, I was turning onto Hidden Valley Road just one half mile from my house.

I can tell you of about sixty other incidents just as strange as these that have happened to me or to other members of my family.

In about 1941 (I was eleven years old I think) I dreamed that I was in an all white brightly lighted room, and I was standing by an all white long table. Beside me there stood a very tall man in a long white robe. His hair was light in color.

This man walked to the side of the room and pulled open a door (much like the door of a built in oven). He reached in and took out a tray and brought it back and set it down on the table. On the tray were little white and black things that looked like tiny biscuits.

In this dream I thought that this man was Jesus. I asked him if my Mama and Dad were going to heaven. He told me that I should never worry about that. He said that when I was older I would understand. When I was older these things would be explained to me.

The next morning I told my grandmother that I had dreamed that I was in God's Kitchen, and that Jesus was there making bread. I said, Grandma, in this dream, Jesus was young and he did not have a beard. Also I told her that some of the biscuits Jesus made was white, and others were burned black.

In 1952, I dreamed of the tall white robed people again. This time I was standing in a field by a long white fence. On the other side of the fence stood several of these white robed people. They wanted me to join them but told me the only way I could get to them was through a gate. I asked where was the gate, and they said I had to find it myself, but they would help me as much as they could.

I looked to the left and then to the right and as far as I could see there was a fence in both directions. I had to make up my own mind which way to go. I turned to the right and started running along the fence looking for the gate.

In this dream these beings told me that they were angels. I was 22 years old when I had this dream.

In 1952, the only UFOs I had ever heard of were those in a science fiction movie.

Between 1964 and 1968 I dreamed of these angels several times only in these dreams I was always taken on a tour some place.

In one dream I was in what they told me was an ancient city that had sank into the sea long ago. In the center of this city was a beautiful park and in this park was a beautiful golden statue of a man. They told me that this man was the father of his country just as Washington was the father of ours. And that his face was the same face that was on the Egyptian Sphinx. They said that he was important and that they would help me to learn all about him.

In another dream I am walking through a huge cavern. I look down at my feet, and with each step I take, little puffs of dust rise and then settle back on the toes of my shoes.

All along the walls of this cavern on both sides there are doorways leading into rooms. We go into one of these rooms and there are all kinds of artifacts from the 1920s and 1930s.

On a table along the walls are all kinds of guns -- and in the center of the room are all kinds of automobiles of this period.

I said to this person, this is all things from the gangland period of the twenties and thirties. Yes, my guide said, in this place we have replicas of all of past history.

We go back into the cavern and walk to the end of it. Then we enter another room which is dark. Then a little light comes on and I found myself standing in front of a ledge. On the ledge is the tiny replica of a beautiful bird. I pick it up and I said, this is a replica of the Phoenix bird. Yes, said my guide. That replica is over 40,000 years old. You know the meaning of the Phoenix legend. Yes, I do, I said. Then he said, you know then that what you are holding is the NEW Phoenix. Do you know what that means? Yes, I said, it means that the new Phoenix is in my hands. Then I ask, may I take this back with me? Unless I have it as proof, no one will believe me.

At that point I awoke.

In another of these dreams I stood before the golden death mask of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen. My guide told me that this mask was a replica of the headdress of the Sphinx as it was originally. He said that the heads of the bird and the snake on the forehead were the symbols of the Phoenix bird legend.

During the time I was having these dreams concerning the Phoenix, I was working as a checker in a supermarket in Lees Summit, Missouri. I was the oldest employee so I did not have to work Sundays. One day I overheard two of our checkers talking. One of them said I would love my job if I did not have to work every Sunday. I never get to take my kids to church.

I told my boss that I would work every other Sunday. This way each of us girls could be able to take our kids to church twice a month.

The very next Sunday I worked. Just I and my boss were in the store that morning. I was in the checkout, and she was in the booth running Saturday's receipts.

About 10 o'clock a man dressed in a black suit came into the store. He was the only customer in the store. All he bought was a Sunday newspaper.

Just as he walked to my checkout my boss said to me, "Betty, the girls said to thank you for working Sundays, so they can go to church." I said I think God will understand.

This man said to me, what do you know about God? You are not doing what he wants you to do. I suppose you "think" you understand the bible? I try, I said. No, you don't try he replied. If you tried all the answers will be given to you. You were told to seek -- to search -- and to study. Then he said the bible is no longer complete. You can only understand if you study the ancient records. Then he picked up his paper and stormed out the door.

What in the world was that all bout? my boss asked. I don't know I said.

Do you think he is some kind of a preacher? she asked. No, I answered. Look at the clock. All preachers are in church right now.

During the 1960s there was a lot of crazy people around. Both my boss and I thought that this man must have been one of them.

In 1967 I gave birth to a baby girl. She was a hard delivery, and I was ill for a long time after she was born. For some reason, I could not stand on my feet for very long without fainting.

I entered the hospital and had all kinds of tests. Nothing could be found that could cause this type of illness. For the next five years, I was unable to stand for a long period of time. I could not return to work. To pass the time I started to do a lot of reading. Books came to me from everywhere, and all of them pertained to ancient history.

In 1969 my aunt visited me for a week. One day I asked her if she thought it possible for God to pick one human being to do some special thing? I don't know, she said, why do you ask. Either, there is something God wants me to do -- or I am losing my mind. Then I told her of all the strange things that had happened to me and the strange dreams I was having of the angels. Then I said, what I do not understand is why would God pick me? I'm just a housewife and mother. I'm not special at all. Also, if there is something God wants me to do, why doesn't He let me know what it is? God, I do not know what He wants me to do.

Before I knew what was happening, Ancient History had become my hobby. That was over twenty years ago. I cannot tell you all the information that I have found. Some of it is completely unbelievable.

During these years I read a lot about UFOs, and I came to believe in them, however, I never thought that they had anything to do with me or any member of my family. Then in 1980 or 1981 my daughter gave me a book called "The Andreasson Affair." I said, what is this about? Mom she said, just read it. OK I said, but what is it about? Mom, she said, that book is about our family, but mostly it is about you. Oh, if someone has written a book about your mother, then I will read it I said jokingly.

The next week I read the book which was called "The Andreasson Affair." It is the story of a UFO abduction of a woman by the name of Betty Andreasson. Her abductors takes her on a tour through a huge cavern. In one part of this tour she stands in front of a huge Phoenix bird. Below the bird in the ashes is an ugly worm or snake. This is the only part of Betty's tour that is covered in this book. Nothing whatsoever is mentioned about replicas of time.

After I read the book I wrote the author "Raymond Fowler" sending him part of the record of my dream covering the Phoenix bird. In this letter I tell of the rooms containing replicas of all of past history.

After the investigation of Betty Andreasson's encounters was completed, Ray Fowler wrote a second book called The Andreasson Affair Phase II. In this book more of Betty's tour through the tunnel of time is covered. It would seem that this lady took the same tour that I was given in my dreams. Also in the chapter covering the implant, Betty tells about a tray of little black and white things very much like the tiny black and white biscuits in my childhood dream of God's Kitchen.

On page 117 of the second book Mr. Fowler printed part of the letter I sent to him concerning my dream of the Chambers of Time.

After I read Fowler's second book, I had to ask myself how could one woman have an abduction and be taken on a tour through a place that was just like what I had been taken through in my dream? I had never heard of this lady before I read the book and we live hundreds of miles apart.

Then I began to recall all the other crazy and mysterious things that had taken place in my family. Could something like this have happened to me? If so, why couldn't I remember anything about it? One thing I do know for sure. If something like this did happen to me back in the 1960s, these little creatures would have had a fight on their hands. I would have fought them, kicked and cussed them, and I might even have wet my pants. I am a fighter, but something like that would have frightened the crap out of me.

I went back to work in 1972 for a supermarket in Independence, Missouri. I worked until the store closed in the early 1980s. Then I retired. Just before the store closed I had another mysterious customer. This time it was a lady. She said to me, I understand you study ancient history. Yes, I do, I said. Then she said, this is for you and she handed me a folded piece of paper. Thank you, I said as she turned and left the store. When I took my lunch I opened up the paper to see what she had given me. It was a copy of an ancient record concerning beings called angels who came to earth millions of years ago, after their worlds (more than one) had been destroyed by some terrible upheaval somewhere in space.

When this destruction took place all the corporeal bodies of these beings were destroyed and their spirits or souls were left stranded in space. Because their corporeal experience was incomplete, they were trapped there.

The Old Watchers (a type of Universal Lord) caused a planet to be moved from the dark regions of space (somewhere where there was no sun) to a new orbit of our sun. This planet was called Earth.

When this new world was able to support corporeal life it was seeded with forms of animal life from other worlds.

The following is a small part of this one record which was taken from the record of creation of mankind, from the Kosman Revelations, that were found in the Archives of the Essenes in the Dead Sea Scrolls. The record...

"Near the end of the Semuan age I took the earth out of the dark regions and brought it into the light of my etherean worlds, where dwelt countless millions of spirits of the Dead who died in infancy on other worlds.

"To these angels I said: Behold a new world have I created like unto the place ye were quickened into life. Come ye and enjoy it and ye shall learn from it how it was with other worlds in ages past.

"And there came to the new earth millions of angels from etheria. And now was the earth in the later days of Semu and the angels could readily take on corporeal bodies."

"Out of the Semuan elements clothed they themselves with flesh and bones and took on corporeal forms." - end-

The angels became earth's first residents. For millions of years they lived here and this long period of time was called the Golden Age. Then they created mankind and then holy hell started.

NOTE: "Died in infancy" does not mean they died as children. It means that they died before they had completed their corporeal experience. They had to complete the corporeal experience before they could move on to their next experience in the Universe, whatever that would be.

Our society says come search with us. I have given you some of the results of my search. Perhaps it may help you in yours.

p.s. Mankind means (a kind of a man)
Human being means (hewed or half man being)
"Pyre" is the Greek word for fire
"Mid" is the Greek word for middle or center
The word pyramid is an ancient Greek translation to an even more ancient Egyptian word meaning something with "fire in the middle" or center of it.

On the back of a dollar bill you will find the great pyramid. Above the pyramid you find the eye of Osiris. Why do we have these symbols on our legal tender?

Sychronicity never fails to amaze me! Betty Andreasson Luca is at the present time being maligned and here is a lady that authenticates what happened to her through her own experiences. Two people totally unknown to each other could not have the same type of surreal experiences. - Aileen

ABDUCTED BY EXTRATERRESTRIALS

(Summary)

Lachute, Quebec, Canada

As soon as he got out of his car, and without knowing how it happened, he found himself on top of a stairway with a door in front of him. From this position, he could see his parked car in the big room. The fright he had felt upon being abducted had now gone away.

However, as he turned around, he had the surprise of his life: two beings with human shapes were standing before him. Mr. X tells us one was male and the other female. The female did not have breasts, but he decided she was female because of the bone structure of her shoulders and beneath her neck. A general description would be of gray-green skin with a rough texture. Almond-shaped eyes, slightly larger than our own. Their bodies are well-built, but their shoulders are larger than ours. Their hands have five fingers, as ours do.

Mr. X and the two beings did not speak to each other, but there was mutual understanding. He understood that he was to lie down on a table a few feet away in a sort of operating room. Mr. X remained very calm, the two beings had inspired him to trust them. Thirteen sucking devices, such as we use for electrocardiograms, were attached to his body. Each one was attached to equipment he did not understand. They also took a skin sample by scratching under his right ear.

When the examination was finished, a rather ludicrous incident occurred. Even though Mr. X was in unknown territory, he retained his personality. Being fully conscious of what he saw, he realized that he was being used as a guinea pig without any remuneration whatsoever. He therefore decided to bring back proof, a small block of metal that resembled stainless steel, about 3 by 5 inches. As he was leaving the room, this souvenir was detected. The beings warned him that he could not bring back objects that did not belong to his dimension. A dispute took place. He wanted to inspect the rest of the spaceship, but at first this request was refused. The male became unfriendly. The female, however, showed him around some of the main parts.

First of all, the control room. Strangely enough, no one was in it! Along the circular wall were screens like radar screens and pushbuttons. In the center of the room was a pale brown column, like a submarine periscope, which had eight hand grips on it. Seven of these controlled different functions of the craft, and one of them controlled the seven others.

There were portholes on the wall through which one could see the exterior of the craft and its size. Its outside consisted of T-shaped tiles fitting into each other, each one about the size of a double bed. The craft was attached to an identical but much larger craft, which was about the size of Montreal's Olympic stadium.

After visiting the control room, Mr. X was allowed a glimpse of the engine. What he saw consisted of eight rings with magnets at intervals around a column in the center of the craft. There were "turbines" inside these magnets. It all worked by magnetism and "free energy."

The visit being over with, he was told to get back into his car, because he was about to be returned to Earth. He would hear a countdown from 10 to 0, at which point he would start the car and push down on the accelerator. A trap door would open, and he would find himself on the road at the same place from which he had been taken.

This is what happened, except that the craft was not correctly aligned with the road and upon leaving, Mr. X lost control, striking a traffic sign. The two strange beings apologized and said they would return.
