John F. Schuessler
(Cash-Landrum parcel)John Schuessler is a key hypothetical in MUFON and anemployee of McDonnell Douglas Astronautics, functioning withNASA on Sky lab and the Expanse Shuttle. He reported on the"Cash-Landrum" close encounter incident in Texas, involvinghealth influence to the percipients. This case hints. very stronglyof clerical secrecy.Minder on a chummy country highway, two deep women andthe young grandson of one of the women were amazed by adiamond-shaped object taking into consideration two rows of blue lights laboriouslyblasting firestorm from its underside and besieged in the air.Throw out appear just about to flow the car from over one hundred feetaway. One of the witnesses felt that Christ's becoming extinct upcoming wasat hand. As the gadget, "big as the watertower,", groaned slowlyacross the grass, it was connected by at most minuscule 23 helicopters of thelarge twin-rotored military genus. The serious match movedoff and the witnesses continued accommodation.
Well ahead, all three experienced a side of symptoms classical-,Iy coupled to radiation sickness. A MUFON radiology consultantstated, "we be marked with strong evidence that these patients havesuffered influence underling to ionizing radiation. It is anyway possiblethat current was an infrared or ultraviolet division as well. "As robustness and behaviors new, what's more women lost jobs (on them law-abiding lost name,of businesses) and their lives alteredmarkedly. As usual, they would level particular indemnity if theywere innocently smashed by particular military activity.
Attempts to aim, down the end of the incident be marked with beencompletely unrewarding. All military bases in the area retract anyknowledge and consequently; any hire. A selection of peoplein the UFO pad see this lack of evidence for military involvementas an sign of the expectation of extraterrestrial sharing,law-abiding hailing this as "the most worth mentioning UFO case inyears. " A selection of be marked with beyond so far as to stretch that aliens disguisetheir craft as helicopters to hurl us off. Most of PURSUIT'Sreaders, it power be ventured, be marked with breeze up taking into consideration a lot underneath complicatedalternative for this case: no UFOs, a lot of secret militaryaction.
In attendance are large quantity of reasons to fit into "U.S. Armed forces Propose"on this one: 1. current were a load of "U.S. Armed forces" helicopters in the story, and current are multiple of that type of gadget in unusual bases in the area;2. on that very night current was a 100 helicopter utilization lost in thought in Texas, so such an activity would not be unusual; 3. the "UFO" was blasting trigger from its underside - very strange for a UFO-incident, but like better rude for "earth-technology;4. the witnesses noted the scent of "lighter lissom" in the air; by chance liquid hydrocarbon ("gasoline-like") worsen fuel?;5. the U.S. Armed forces has modest state of affairs to tell us go on this case law-abiding without extraterrestrials being keen (for one, a voluntary secret unadulterated lampoon military gadget test; for additional, insignificant rationale to cause hire for irradiating fill with taking into consideration a snafu'd test).
To this teller of tales, current are two essentially sad objects about this case:One, that Mrs. Money and Mrs. Landrum be marked with had so multiple difficultiesand current seems insignificant gamble for legality and indemnity.This is by far the most worth mentioning outcome of this experience.Two, this incident points out the threat of' "wantingit too fearfully" by particular UFO enthusiasts. At the same time as current is such aconceivable option opinion (U.S. Armed forces test), we certainlyshouldn't be hailing this as the most worth mentioning case inyears, nor scrambling for "out of sight helicopters" theories tofirm up the extraterrestrial opinion. To John Schuessler'scredit, he has stayed altogether plan about this case and is mainly prompted by humane concerns for Mrs., Money andLandrum. Others haven't cold as dispirit, on the other hand, and appear notto make real the threat of selectively believing the militarywhenever it frenzy their theories (i.e. the military is constantly accusedof top everything up, but is supposed in this casewhen it says that the "object" was not its gadget). This doesn'tmean that there's no gamble of UFOs in this "sighting," butit want argument that, as of now, there's no evidence of anyconcrete genus to place that' idea.

Most of the nation's paramount "alien watchers" convened atthe end of June, 1985 to see what they had se~n. A selection of of themhad searched for alien bodies, particular for secret documents, somefor landing journalism, and particular for medical evidence. They allagreed that UFOs are real and reasonably extraterrestrial. It wasthe national MUFON (Shared UFO Network) convention in St.Louis.
Peter A. Gersten
(Cash-Landrum parcel)The fourth journalist was Peter Gersten, a New York lawyerand a paramount devotee of eradication of UFO secrecy in governmentdocuments. Gersten compared UFO evidence to trialevidence, stating that evidence for the reality of UFOs exists"farther coherent mistrust." He bent an similar in the company of,the permissibility of date vinyl in unfitting cases and inUFO cases, noting that repeatedly one realistic date is "Sufficientto cause to look guilty a unfitting as thousands of UFO witnesses areavailable to "cause to look guilty" the UFOs.

Its job was to "scrutinize thepattern and tactics of flying saucers;" its conclusions includedthat "the slope of the devices is not ascertainable"and that "it must be established that particular type of flying objectshave been observed." The report was reprinted inthe July 1985 spread out of the MUFON Go through.;b) Gersten knows that particular government documents be marked with been"leaked" after they be marked with been counterfeit by additive bogusinformation, which does wonders for the search for truth;c) he 'reminded us that evidence established via hypnosis andlie detectors is not admissable in a prudent of law; and thatevidence by "inconspicuous" informants is precisely hearsay;d) so far as is renowned current is no government documentationon abduction cases, and that crashed-saucer cases haveessentially go important them admissable in a courtof law.

John F. Schuessler of MUFON

Mr. Schuessleris additional case of the classy, systematic, and analyticalresearcher de rigueur in ufology. Moreover significant and methodological in hisapproach and never home economics to the emotionalism or illusion somespeakers gut reaction their audiences expect, he laid out the best medicalcases from his experience in ufology and commented upon theirsignificance. In by and large, the symptoms appear the stuff ofradiation, repeatedly mutating or "ionizing" radiation, occasionallyeven nuclear or particulate (in name only "unsound" or penetrating)radiation. Sometimes we are conglomerate taking into consideration vague burns,sometimes inappropriate or fashioned burns or journalism, sometimes morethorough possessions such as be packed with expense or bumpy expansion.

A special respect for ISAAC KOI for paramount me to this (and a from top to toe multiple other objects).
Richard French Ufos And Roswell
(BLOGGER'S NOTE: This was a particularly difficult post to write. I have great respect for Lieutenant Colonel Richard E. French's nearly three decades of military service including fighting in two wars. The problems arise, however, when we look into his claims of participation in UFO investigations and his claims of educational background. I have emailed him three times, including a draft of this article, asking for comment. He has failed to respond. It is with great reluctance that I post the following.)
Since the Citizen Hearing in Washington, D.C., I have looking into the background of retired Lieutenant Colonel Richard E. French. Here was a guy who was saying some amazing things about the Air Force investigation into UFOs and his
participation in it. He was talking about how he had faked UFO sighting solutions, his personal knowledge of the Roswell UFO crash and how he had a hand in writing the "Blue Book." He seemed to think that it was a document with a blue cover, and while the various incarnations of the official UFO investigation did produce reports, there was never anything that was actually the Blue Book.
His comments about there being two alien craft that crashed in Roswell, including one that was shot down by an experimental fighter, were quickly published all over the Internet pushing his name in front of many others. Additional comments about his involvement in UFO research, or rather debunking of UFO sightings, on orders by the Air Force, were accepted as authentic by many without bothering to check his credentials or if his story was consistent. It added a new level of conspiracy to the already cluttered landscape of the conspiracy minded.
While in Washington, D.C. for the Citizen Hearing, he was interviewed by Kerry Cassidy and that interview has been posted to the Internet. By watching it, we can
see where all the problems lie with this tale. According to what he has said to her, he had spent 27 1/2 years in the Air Force and that he spent most of his time as an Operations Officer. His records do not confirm he spent so much time in operations and that is really a trivial point. He also said that he was the youngest officer in the Air Force to hold the position as operations officer. This makes no sense because he doesn't specify at what level he held the job though he does say that it was with the 8th Tactical Fighter Squadron in Germany. That isn't exactly a high level position and I would be surprised that he was the youngest ever to hold it. This seems like so much hyperbole to me.
In response to a question at 7:06 during the Cassidy interview, French said, "I have several tours. Three flying tours in Korea and about six or seven in Vietnam. Therefore I have a lot of stories. I have over 680 combat missions. I think that is more than twice as many as anyone else."
This is not hyperbole and is not accurate. It is just wrong. According to his records, he entered active duty in the middle of 1952, and in August 1952 was assigned as an administration officer in FEAF (Far East Air Force... meaning Korea... or Japan supporting operations in Korea). He did receive, according to the records, the awards that suggest service on the ground in Korea. There is no evidence that he was a pilot in Korea.
In fact, according to the available records, he didn't enter flight school until 1954, and since that school lasted about a year, there is no way he could have deployed to Korea as a pilot. The war ended in July 1953. He also attended advanced training at Nellis Air Force Base for eight additional months, meaning that it was mid-1955, at the earliest he could have been assigned as a fighter pilot.
The records I have stop in 1968 but they do indicate a short tour in Vietnam in 1965, where he was awarded an Air Medal. The citation said, in part, "Captain Richard E. French distinguished himself by meritorious achievement while participating in sustained aerial flight as a combat crew member in Southeast Asia from 18 July 1965 to 14 August 1965..."
It is unclear from the record if he was only in Southeast Asia for that nearly month long period, or if it was part of another, longer assignment. It is not clear that he was in even Vietnam at the time which means the flights could have originated from an Air Force base outside Vietnam with flights over it. His records do indicate, however, that he was an assistant operations officer with the 478th Tactical Fighter Squadron at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico during this time. So, it seems, based on the records, that it was not a full tour in Vietnam but a temporary duty assignment.
There is a citation in the record which places him in Vietnam in 1968, but I have nothing else about this. This could easily be and probably is a full tour in Vietnam. I have no records for anything beyond that, though it was in 1969 that Richard Nixon began to wind down American participation in the war. Given all this, it would seem that French can claim two "flying" tours in Vietnam. There might be another, but I have seen no record of it and as I say.
At 7:38 in the Cassidy interview, French said, "I have 121 American and foreign decorations. I look like MacArthur if I put everything on."
That seems excessive and by my count, he is entitled to a minimum of 50 American and foreign decorations. This count is based on the records and the
official photograph of French taken in 1972. I am sure that this count is incomplete but it is far short of the claim. Unless there is additional information about it, including a complete list of all awards and decorations, then I would view this as hyperbole... as "resume inflation."
The real trouble begins when we move away from his documented military career and into the claims he makes about UFOs, his part in the investigation of them, and his orders to debunk UFO sightings. At the Washington Citizen Hearing, French said that he was one of the few to see the Majestic Report referring of course to the Majestic-Twelve documents and what many of us believe to be a hoax. French talked about a meeting Truman held with a bunch of high level people including all the Chiefs of Staff about the Roswell case. They wrote a short report, which he claims to be the only living person to have seen (which of course makes it impossible to verify). He didn't attend the meeting, and given his military career, I don't know when he would have had the opportunity to see it, if you believe such a document ever existed.
About 18:50 into this Cassidy interview, he explains why they wanted to keep the Roswell UFO crash secret. Here is where another problem develops. According to what he said to others in other interviews, one of the alien spacecraft that crashed near Roswell in July 1947 had been shot down by a new weapon that worked along the lines of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). But when asked why the government kept the crash a secret, he said it was because we had no defense against the aliens and their craft. First he was telling us we could shoot them down and later saying that we had no defense against them.
Demonstrating that he had very little knowledge of Project Blue Book, at 20:07 in the interview he said, "At that time the Blue Book... had a blue cover but it contained all these different stories..." Here he seems to be suggesting a real blue book rather than an investigation of UFOs. He doesn't get that Blue Book was a code name and not an actual book. He said, "Official Air Force Blue Book. It's the Air Force official report on UFOs." He even claimed authorship of part of it.
It would seem that an officer who had worked on the project would have known exactly what it was. True, there were a number of final reports, one for Project Sign and one for Project Grudge, not to mention a number of status reports issued in the early days, but there never was a "blue book."
During that interview he said that he had just graduated from college when he went into the Air Force. He said in another interview that he attended Oregon State University. According to the university, he attended from 1947 to the winter of 1952 but didn't receive a degree. Now, I know that sometimes the universities make mistakes, but the evidence from the official documentation doesn't suggest a degree. While it is always possible that he finished his degree work after his military service, there is currently nothing in the record to indicate he earned his bachelor's degree from Oregon State University.
He also mentioned that he had two Ph.Ds, one in philosophy and another in astrophysics, "from Kings College online education system." I searched the Internet for any reference remotely like Kings College and found one in Great Britain that offered a degree in astrophysics, but in an email response to me, they wrote that they do not offer an online doctorate in astrophysics.
At about 36:00 in the interview he said did research at MIT and Stanford... this work was research on cancer and that he and another fellow invented a device that would get 50 miles to a gallon of gas in an old eight-cylinder Buick. He said that he couldn't sell it because they invented when gas was thirty cents a gallon, but today, with the pressure to increase gas mileage, it would seem that they could. He said that is was some kind of light ring that went into the carburetor that created oxygen so that the fuel mixture burned more efficiently. There is currently no evidence to back up these claims.
As I listened to his interview with Cassidy, I was impressed by the robust tale that he told. It just didn't seem to be the sort of thing that would be invented by the average guy. But then he mentioned his book, "Macedonian Gray". Here's the description from Amazon.com:
This book is far more than a simple battle scene narration. It's a story embracing courage, love, and a penetrating view of the human mind under extremes of stress. The central figure, a jet fighter pilot, spends years in spine chilling Korean and Vietnam combat plus cold war actions around the world. A naturally endowed psychic, he sees flashes of incidents past and future that he doesn't understand and fears to share. Among these are fortelling President Kennedy's death and predicting his own violent combat death that is vividly related in the opening chapter. The story flashes back to narrative form and follows the hero's life through a series of aerial actions, a failed marriage, romantic episodes and incidents, and a friendship of warriors that lasts through thick and thin. It reaches a startling conclusion when, after death, the man's immortal spirit endures afterlife pain and eventual reincarnation.
In creating the "hero" of his book, he used autobiographical information to add a note of authenticity to the story. Many authors incorporate bits of their lives into the books they write. Here I think that French then turned the tables believing that some of the embellishments added for characterization were now traits he held as well. He invented a character and then became that character.
What disturbs me about all this is that it is clear that French served in the Air Force and did so honorably, but once that service ended he began to invent additional accomplishments. For some reason, he decided that he had been a member of Project Blue Book, though there is no evidence to support this. He decided that he had seen some Majestic-12 documents, ones that no one else has seen, but has offered no proof this was true. He decided that he talked to the late Philip Corso about UFOs and that he, French, somehow knew that Corso was telling the truth, though he gets much of the Corso story wrong.
He gave us a version of what happened at Roswell, but clearly he couldn't have been involved in 1947 simply because he was not in the military at the time, wasn't in the area, and had no reason to know about it. His tales, now repeated throughout the world, are second hand at best and pure fiction at worst. I am baffled why a man with the military record he has would embellish it to the point where it is almost unbelievable and insert himself into projects and incidents that he clearly could not have been involved in. We see some of the fiction in his claims of flying tours in Korea, and see those fictions grow as he moves through his career.
But I want to be fair here. Let me point out that the man had a distinguished career and was an Air Force officer. He began serving in 1951, as a second lieutenant commissioned after taking ROTC in college (though I should note that he entered the Army Reserve as a PVT in June 1948). That lead to an active duty assignment in the middle of 1952 and lasted until he retired, as a lieutenant colonel in August 1974. He served first with the AFOSI and later as a fighter pilot. He served in Korea, was awarded the decorations that would go with such an assignment and served in the FEAF (Far East Air Force). There is no question that he served in Asia during that war but he held a ground assignment.
In 1954, or about six to eight months after the shooting war ended, he was sent to flight school. Total training time, including his advance transition into the F-86 was about eighteen months.
From there he had a number of military assignments, including those you'd expect from an Air Force officer. He was a flight commander, a squadron commander and an operations officer at various bases and in various foreign countries
The records I have only cover his career until late 1968. I will note that according to the records, he was awarded a Silver Star, two Distinguished Flying Crosses, 24 Air Medals and a Purple Heart. Unlike so many others, he had a fine and distinguished career that required no hyperbole. He was an Air Force officer, he served in two wars, and was decorated for that service. There would be no reason for him to complicate his life by inventing tales about his service, what he did, and what he saw.
What this demonstrates is that even a man with a fine military career will invent tales to bring the spotlight on himself. Money doesn't seem to be the motivation. It is the power of the spotlight and those who will believe practically anything as long as the message is one they wish to hear. Unfortunately, he now joins the ranks of Robert Willingham, Mel Noel, Gerald Anderson, Cliff Stone and Frank Kaufmann. The evidence is not there to support French's tale of UFO involvement and inside knowledge. All he has done is muddy the waters even more for those of us trying to get a clear picture.
Since the Citizen Hearing in Washington, D.C., I have looking into the background of retired Lieutenant Colonel Richard E. French. Here was a guy who was saying some amazing things about the Air Force investigation into UFOs and his

This is not hyperbole and is not accurate. It is just wrong.

It would seem that an officer who had worked on the project would have known exactly what it was. True, there were a number of final reports, one for Project Sign and one for Project Grudge, not to mention a number of status reports issued in the early days, but there never was a "blue book."
During that interview he said that he had just graduated from college when he went into the Air Force. He said in another interview that he attended Oregon State University. According to the university, he attended from 1947 to the winter of 1952 but didn't receive a degree. Now, I know that sometimes the universities make mistakes, but the evidence from the official documentation doesn't suggest a degree. While it is always possible that he finished his degree work after his military service, there is currently nothing in the record to indicate he earned his bachelor's degree from Oregon State University.
He also mentioned that he had two Ph.Ds, one in philosophy and another in astrophysics, "from Kings College online education system." I searched the Internet for any reference remotely like Kings College and found one in Great Britain that offered a degree in astrophysics, but in an email response to me, they wrote that they do not offer an online doctorate in astrophysics.
At about 36:00 in the interview he said did research at MIT and Stanford... this work was research on cancer and that he and another fellow invented a device that would get 50 miles to a gallon of gas in an old eight-cylinder Buick. He said that he couldn't sell it because they invented when gas was thirty cents a gallon, but today, with the pressure to increase gas mileage, it would seem that they could. He said that is was some kind of light ring that went into the carburetor that created oxygen so that the fuel mixture burned more efficiently. There is currently no evidence to back up these claims.
As I listened to his interview with Cassidy, I was impressed by the robust tale that he told. It just didn't seem to be the sort of thing that would be invented by the average guy. But then he mentioned his book, "Macedonian Gray". Here's the description from Amazon.com:
This book is far more than a simple battle scene narration. It's a story embracing courage, love, and a penetrating view of the human mind under extremes of stress. The central figure, a jet fighter pilot, spends years in spine chilling Korean and Vietnam combat plus cold war actions around the world. A naturally endowed psychic, he sees flashes of incidents past and future that he doesn't understand and fears to share. Among these are fortelling President Kennedy's death and predicting his own violent combat death that is vividly related in the opening chapter. The story flashes back to narrative form and follows the hero's life through a series of aerial actions, a failed marriage, romantic episodes and incidents, and a friendship of warriors that lasts through thick and thin. It reaches a startling conclusion when, after death, the man's immortal spirit endures afterlife pain and eventual reincarnation.
Show more Show less
In creating the "hero" of his book, he used autobiographical information to add a note of authenticity to the story. Many authors incorporate bits of their lives into the books they write. Here I think that French then turned the tables believing that some of the embellishments added for characterization were now traits he held as well. He invented a character and then became that character.
What disturbs me about all this is that it is clear that French served in the Air Force and did so honorably, but once that service ended he began to invent additional accomplishments. For some reason, he decided that he had been a member of Project Blue Book, though there is no evidence to support this. He decided that he had seen some Majestic-12 documents, ones that no one else has seen, but has offered no proof this was true. He decided that he talked to the late Philip Corso about UFOs and that he, French, somehow knew that Corso was telling the truth, though he gets much of the Corso story wrong.
He gave us a version of what happened at Roswell, but clearly he couldn't have been involved in 1947 simply because he was not in the military at the time, wasn't in the area, and had no reason to know about it. His tales, now repeated throughout the world, are second hand at best and pure fiction at worst. I am baffled why a man with the military record he has would embellish it to the point where it is almost unbelievable and insert himself into projects and incidents that he clearly could not have been involved in. We see some of the fiction in his claims of flying tours in Korea, and see those fictions grow as he moves through his career.
But I want to be fair here. Let me point out that the man had a distinguished career and was an Air Force officer. He began serving in 1951, as a second lieutenant commissioned after taking ROTC in college (though I should note that he entered the Army Reserve as a PVT in June 1948). That lead to an active duty assignment in the middle of 1952 and lasted until he retired, as a lieutenant colonel in August 1974. He served first with the AFOSI and later as a fighter pilot. He served in Korea, was awarded the decorations that would go with such an assignment and served in the FEAF (Far East Air Force). There is no question that he served in Asia during that war but he held a ground assignment.
In 1954, or about six to eight months after the shooting war ended, he was sent to flight school. Total training time, including his advance transition into the F-86 was about eighteen months.
From there he had a number of military assignments, including those you'd expect from an Air Force officer. He was a flight commander, a squadron commander and an operations officer at various bases and in various foreign countries
The records I have only cover his career until late 1968. I will note that according to the records, he was awarded a Silver Star, two Distinguished Flying Crosses, 24 Air Medals and a Purple Heart. Unlike so many others, he had a fine and distinguished career that required no hyperbole. He was an Air Force officer, he served in two wars, and was decorated for that service. There would be no reason for him to complicate his life by inventing tales about his service, what he did, and what he saw.
What this demonstrates is that even a man with a fine military career will invent tales to bring the spotlight on himself. Money doesn't seem to be the motivation. It is the power of the spotlight and those who will believe practically anything as long as the message is one they wish to hear. Unfortunately, he now joins the ranks of Robert Willingham, Mel Noel, Gerald Anderson, Cliff Stone and Frank Kaufmann. The evidence is not there to support French's tale of UFO involvement and inside knowledge. All he has done is muddy the waters even more for those of us trying to get a clear picture.

Scully Vindication
(The Aztec incident is a out-of-the-way divorce of Scully's book, and is perpetually in a meeting out of context.)
Shklovskii's documentation and react from the Ally States Navy acknowledges an match surrounding Aztec, in 1948. As you can see from the Shklovskii be relevant, the hints about that match being unconventional are noticeably attention-grabbing. But that allusion is ongoing unconscious....
Inwards we'd swanky to particularize that Release Scully was not a essayist swiftly duped. More to the point, equally the government wanted to (and requirements to) ignominy natives spewing ideas or coy in activity prohibition to the persuasive programming or Machiavellian-inspired sophistication of the epoch, the government, swanky that of the U.S.S.R., either accused the renegades (and sometimes imprisoned them: Wilhelm Reich) of crimes v the laws of the state, as they did successfully amid Al Capone equally they couldn't nab him on a wipe out rap or self-confident them up in a psychiatric moving parts.
Silas Newton, and Leo Gebauer, the seeming Aztec mavericks according to ufologists, were accused of schedule but normal perched sentences after a trial for deception.
Release Scully went to his passing away insisting the story about Aztec in his book was valid. Scully wasn't senile, and hand over are adequately government machinations about Aztec that the bang has legs...flimsy legs, but legs but. (See Slice Redfern and Karl Pflock's take on Aztec, which can be found at numerous internet venues, by way of Google.)
Can Aztec ground fidelity at this late regain consciousness of ufological inquiry? In all probability, to the same degree Aztec has as tons bona fides as Roswell, and possibly finer, considering how beclouded Roswell has change direction by the insertions and intrusions of ufological poseurs and impassive con men and women.
But the most great delegate of the Aztec "crash" is Release Scully's born fidelity no particular how the government or ufologists downplay or truthful chop it.
And amid that 1963 admittance by the Navy that an match - one not finished communal subsequently (or now) - did ensue surrounding Aztec, one can declare that Scully did yeoman letters and got oblivion from his set sights on but scorn and opprobrium.
Bonus to be carried on the breeze....

Triangle Ufos Back In The Skies Over Four States
The triangle-shaped UFO reports are back in the news with four reports in four states today, according to witness testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.
Triangles took a back seat recently with the tremendous July reports across the country of Orange Lights, and most recently a run on Bright Lights moving in seemingly controlled manners across our air space.
While not all reports have been tallied, the UFO Traffic Report covered 32 triangle cases in April and 25 in May. The triangle reports then seemed to drop off sometime in June, and were replaced by many of the Orange Light cases in July. These numbers are not scientific and may not reflect current trends, but are based solely on what was covered on these pages through reports from the MUFON database..

Hi guys, my position get swamped by all kin dof UFO reports from our readers,Now we pass Probing new evidence of UFOs in the skies over Hampshire can be not in today. The UFOs were snapped over Beaulieu and Woolston by complete collapse and sole noticed generation cutting edge by the photographers. Passionate amateur photographer Richard Chunk was in the garden of his Brockenhurst residence a long time ago he photographed an American Heuy Helicopter on zoom at Beaulieu on May 26. It was not until he cutting edge checkered his photographs that he noticed in attendance was a unnatural flying object in one of them."I took the photo from somewhat a distance and at the time was sole sharp in catching the helicopter, I didn't ensure the object until I looked at the photos on my fatal accurate generation cutting edge," he whispered."I can't show how something works what it is. Others pass whispered blow up, drone or bird, but if this was the case it would pass shown up in the first photo engaged one mum go backward. The light reflecting from the object looks to me as nevertheless it's grating and convey somewhat enduring. In unique case university of Southampton pupil Loiza Loizou what's more received a shock after probing downhill photographs she had engaged of the night sky over Weston Series. Her brother, Yiannkai, said: "She had no hint an object was in frontage of her but it was of course perceptible in the photo a long time ago the flash illuminated it, as can be seen from zooming in on the object and noticing the glass reflecting the light," he whispered. "Conceivably there's an overt explanation we're vanished but she assures me in attendance were no lights portray by and that it was completely darkness.Basis

Yellow lights in Eastland State

My 2 daughters(18 and 21) and I went out on Street 16 near the North (Comanche to Strawn, Texas)that is to say to relate to for the "yellowish-brown lights" that various of my witnesses bolt reported seeing. We parked in an entryway and two of us got out of the car.
The lights appeared to our SW after with brute force 10 proceedings. At the back of every person episode of light-up so extinguishing of the lights, the lights would move on near the SE towards Stephenville. A guess on speed would be app 50 mph.
One of my daughters hand-me-down binoculars and indicated that in the least of the yellowish-brown lights were delimited in a circular(organization)kind by smaller, artless lights. Every wrote reports and drew diagrams which momentum be included.

I was torrential a rental bus and was torrential south and west between Proctor, TX and Comanche, TX. Stunning personality windows as a consequence enormous views. I noticed one, at first, upsetting to my moved out up ahead(discreetly low knock down but ahead of me)...passing blinking lights equivalent to an aircraft...didn't pay extreme take care of to it as it was normal looking, but, so...it abruptly gives off a brighter fair-haired light which wholly lasted about 10 seconds or underneath. I was torrential very extreme straight in that categorization. A few seconds service...maybe 30 or so...I see sundry one, this time it was more rapidly match I was torrential under that exceedingly area as the first siting. I asked a passenger sitting in the personality grip of the bus if he possibly will see the lights as now 3 or 4 reckon supercilious put on the right track overhead. The passenger gets up and moves to the personality interval and we discourse what we are observing.
"you declare, this is the area where they saw inhabitants UFO's from one place to another Stephenville" is field of the jargon. The last one I saw was so put on the right track overhead that I had to little drive and relate to nearby straight up. I trusty possibly will not stem knock down.
I was sign that a quiet dynamic of summer was all the bugs that hit auto's and bus windows and originate rather the deceive as the individual activity was range up as the sun had wholly right absent down. But, so...I began difficulty "popping" noises match I was thumping talented bugs or beetles on a well-rounded obtain...it got discreetly fertile, evidently..but, I in the same way possibly will study what I upset was the exceedingly "popping" noises thumping the roof of the bus. Bugs can't hit the roof of the bus..wholly the personality a long time ago one is seasonal 65 MPH or so...I ask my passenger if he can study that "popping" circle on the roof ?...it was match a volley of something even with present-day were insects thumping the interval and personality of the bus, in the same way, so, it was unpleasant to prove what I was difficulty. Unmoving, I was surefire I was torrential put on the right track under the (UFO) area and something was sinking from the sky (whiz plain as the nose on your face) wholly the popping intensity as something was sinking on the bus.

Area51 Viewer
Date: Tue, 15 Apr 97 00:56:05 -0700
Subject: Remarkable Interrogation at Area51?
Hi all,
I fair saw the Peculiar Conception show on the overseas interrogation at area
51.' For frequent of you who missed it, you didn't miss to a large extent. They morally showed at most ten seconds of the footage (but they sure got alot of mileage out of it) and that consisted of what appeared to be a TV screen counting meant alien (your example grey, or without favoritism deep-fry) on it. In lead of this was what appeared to be convinced contract of command counting a light that moved up and down in a heartbeat later sending. Something was very dark--I affectionate of pictured the intestines of Area51 as manager well-lit. The alien moved around a miniature and packed you counting frequent puppy-dog eyes. Display was no discernable talk or holes for the proboscis.
The show assembled a partition of 'experts' to present their observe on the equal footage (frequent distinctly dogs were approved to see the sensible empathy).
The partition consisted of (unhealthy for not success the names): a hollywood special gear guy (who to boot happened to be an abductee), a person UFO investigator, unlike work abductee, and Whitley Streiber. Furthermore, they had the man I direct to as the wizard-like, white-haired, ponytailed, NATO guy (company Dean). Whitley was very disturbed by the footage, stating that if it was real next he was tricky for the human hurry for the
not-so-nice attention the alien usual.
They to boot had a taped form interview counting winner,' the fella who smuggled the tape out--I imminent that was a do its stuff mane create earlier he's toast. At one proposal, at the same time as the questioner began asking usual questions that power drop somebody in it winner, winner stood up and confirmed that the interview was "done." Aparently, they pleased him down a
bit to the proposal that he sat back down and answered the lawbreaker want. Which was how he got the tape: they were transferring the data from analog tape to 'digital disks' and this keen the data departure behind a drive down deposit area at which proposal he was able to get the tape and wrap it around his hand. winner dutifully refused to say why he was able to go to Area51--whether he was an employee or a holidaymaker.
For frequent of you who honest craving to see the footage--worry not! It inner self be out on video this summer from Ascend Video (productions?).
In the same way as I lay a wager the a cut above mystery is is why would a guy who risked his life raid USG realm close it to a rinky-dink (no misconduct) gush
cluster without favoritism than present it to Peter Jennings or one of the other time-honored news guys. I mean if the guy is in a postion to discover a live alien at Area51, don't you lay a wager he would at smallest number of be life a skillful salary?
To be fair, I'll buckskin my last judgement if I get to see all the footage. It fair smells be wary of to me.
Cynical? Me? Naaaaaaaaaah.

Voyager 2 To Switch To Backup Thruster Set
This artist's concept shows NASA's two Voyager spacecraft exploring a turbulent region of space known as the heliosheath, the outer shell of the bubble of charged particles around our sun. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
(PHYSORG.COM) -- NASA'S DEEP SPACE NETWORK PERSONNEL SENT COMMANDS TO THE VOYAGER 2 SPACECRAFT NOV. 4 TO SWITCH TO THE BACKUP SET OF THRUSTERS THAT CONTROLS THE ROLL OF THE SPACECRAFT. CONFIRMATION WAS RECEIVED TODAY THAT THE SPACECRAFT ACCEPTED THE COMMANDS. THE CHANGE WILL ALLOW THE 34-YEAR-OLD SPACECRAFT TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF POWER IT REQUIRES TO OPERATE AND USE PREVIOUSLY UNUSED THRUSTERS AS IT CONTINUES ITS JOURNEY TOWARD INTERSTELLAR SPACE, BEYOND OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.
Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are each equipped with six sets, or pairs, of thrusters to control their movement. These include three pairs of primary thrusters and three backup, or redundant, pairs.
Voyager 2 is currently using the two pairs of backup thrusters that control the pitch and yaw motion of the spacecraft. Switching to the backup thruster pair that controls roll motion will allow engineers to turn off the heater that keeps the fuel line to the primary thruster warm. This will save about 12 watts of power. The spacecraft's power supply now provides about 270 watts of electricity. By reducing its power usage, the spacecraft can continue to operate for another decade even as its available power continues to decline.
The thrusters involved in this switch have fired more than 318,000 times. The backup pair has not been used in flight. Voyager 1 changed to the backup for this same component after 353,000 pulses in 2004 and is now using all three sets of its backup thrusters.
Voyager 2 will relay the results of the switch back to Earth on Nov. 13. The signal will arrive on Earth on Nov. 14. Voyager 2 is currently located about 9 billion miles (14 billion kilometers) from Earth in the "heliosheath" -- the outermost layer of the heliosphere where the solar wind, which streams out from the sun, is slowed by the pressure of interstellar gas.

The Cannock Bigfoot
Last week, I was interviewed by the British "SUNDAY MERCURY" newspaper about the many and varied stories pertaining to (and sightings of) Bigfoot-like creatures in the woods of the Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, England.
Having grown up there, I can say for certain that the whole area is rich in Bigfoot reports. But, I'm convinced the creature is not all it seems to be - or maybe it's more than it seems to be! As I told the media:
"I think the Cannock Chase Bigfoot has paranormal origins and is linked with the large amount of paranormal activity in the area. If this creature was flesh-and-blood, there would have to be more than one to ensure reproduction. If there was a colony of them on the Chase, we would be seeing massive evidence of them feeding on the local animal population. But the amount of deer kills that have taken place are not anywhere near enough to feed a colony of these creatures."
And that's the problem with not just the Cannock Chase Bigfoot, but the larger issue of Bigfoot in Britain in general. There are numerous reports; but a distinct lack of the type evidence for their existence that typifies (for example) the eating-habits, reproduction, habitat etc. of the Mountain Gorilla.
The British Bigfoot looks like a large ape; but has a far more phantom-like nature to it.

The file contains a letter dated November 15, 1991, from Harry B. Brandon, III, Acting Assistant Director, Intelligence Division, to Commander, Office of Special Investigations, Dept. of the Air Force, Bolling Air Force Base, in Washington, D.C.
The subject is "Possible Unauthorized Disclosure of Classified Information Relating to "Operation MAJESTIC 12" and notes:
"Our Bureau recently recovered what may possibly be a classified document, dated November 18, 1952, relating to 'OPERATION MAJESTIC 12.'... It is noted that although this document may represent some type of hoax, it is our responsibility to insure that all incidents involving mishandling of classified data receive adequate investigative attention. Therefore, we request that your agency attempt to ascertain the originator and/or the current classification of the enclosed document. Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated."
We note here that the USAF Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) was once again handed the responsibility for determining whether or not the MJ-12 documents were faked. AFOSI had previously advised the FBI that the MJ-12 document was fabricated, on November 30, 1988.

Ancient Aliens Season 7 Full Episode 1 The Reptilians
Ancient Aliens explores the controversial theory that extraterrestrials have visited Earth for millions of years.

Us Government Holds Hearing This Week On Extraterrestrials
The Committee on Science, Space and Technology, chaired by Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), met for a two-hour hearing titled "Astrobiology: Search for Biosignatures in our Solar System and Beyond." The hearing charter outlined the hearing's goal, describing:
The purpose of this hearing is to examine astrobiology research and the search for biosignatures in our Solar System and beyond. The hearing will include a general assessment of the multi- and interdisciplinary nature of astrobiology research, including the role astrobiology plays in formulating NASA space missions. It will also examine the techniques and capabilities necessary to determine the potential for the existence of biosignatures within our Solar System. With the discovery of potential Earth-like planets outside of our Solar System, the hearing will also investigate what methods are being used to determine if any of these planets may harbor life. The hearing will explore existing and planned astrobiology research strategies and roadmaps.
Three leading scientists presented testimony at the hearing. They are:
* Dr. Mary Voytek, Senior Scientist for Astrobiology, Planetary Science Division, NASA
* Dr. Sara Seager, Class of 1941 Professor of Physics and Planetary Science, MIT
* Dr. Steven Dick, Baruch S. Blumberg Chair of Astrobiology, John W. Kluge Center, Library of Congress
These scientists discussed exploration technology like the James Webb space telescope, emphasizing the importance of exploration ventures to the search for extraterrestrial life. Dr. Seager explained, "NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), scheduled to launch in 2018, will be capable of studying the atmospheres of a subset of the TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, scheduled for launch in 2017) rocky exoplanets in visible, near infrared, and infrared light... We anticipate TESS will find dozens of super Earths suitable for atmosphere observations by JWST, including several that could potentially be habitable."
Rep. Ralph Hall (R-Texas) asked the scientists, "Do you think there's life out there?" Seager explained that the Milky Way galaxy contains 100 billion stars and the universe may contain 100 billion galaxies. Then she stated, "Do the math." As the Guardian reports, WHEN THE THREE SCIENTISTS WERE ASKED FOR BRIEF ANSWERS TO THE QUESTION, "IS LIFE OUT THERE?," THE RESPONSE WAS "YES, YES," AND "YES."
This hearing comes just a day after the announcement that two studies have revealed that the Hubble space telescope detected water in the atmospheres of five planets outside the solar system. As NBC News reports, "The five exoplanets with hints of water are all scorching-hot, Jupiter-size worlds that are unlikely to host life as we know it. But finding water in their atmospheres still marks a step forward in the search for distant planets that may be capable of supporting alien life, researchers said."
