Woodborough Bridge Crop Formation

JULY 14th 2003THE WOODBOROUGH BRIDGE CROP FORMATION.By Andrew J Buckley, with additional comments by Jim LyonsAndrew J. Buckley has been researching and investigating the UFO and crop circle phenomenon since 1972 and has been a member of the British UFO Research Association [BUFORA] and the Centre for Crop Circle Studies [CCCS]. He has published several articles on crop circles and UFOs in UFO Magazine; UFO Reality and the Circular / Cerealogist magazines and has participated in various documentaries on these subjects including 'Sightings'; 'Contact' by Bert Janssen and 'Crop Circles- Crossovers into another Dimension' by Terje Toftenes. He works as an artist and graphic designer, and is currently living in Cheshire, UK.On the morning of July 14th 2003, I witnessed the creation of a crop formation close to the Kennet & Avon canal, about half a mile due south of Woodborough Hill, near Pewsey, Wiltshire UK. The formation appeared within a period of a few minutes or less, coinciding with the close proximity of two unmarked, probably military helicopters. Some of this incident was captured on film and the following report details what I experienced over a period of three hours.On the morning in question, I had decided to walk to Woodborough Hill, after leaving my car parked in Woodborough village at 09.15 hrs. This walk normally takes about thirty minutes and the route is via the Kennet & Avon canal and Woodborough Barns along a public right of way.On reaching the canal bridge [known as Woodborough Bridge], I stopped to take in the view and scanned the surrounding crop-fields to the north. This I repeated at regular intervals until I reached the summit of Woodborough Hill at 09.45 hrs.I can confirm with absolute certainty that there were no unusual ground markings / crop formations present in any of the fields south of Woodborough Hill, which would have been easily visible either from the canal bridge, the farm track, or the summit of the hill. From this location, at about 10.00 hrs, I noticed two dark coloured helicopters manoeuvring at very low level near Woodborough canal bridge. Through binoculars they appeared to be Apache Longbow 'gunships' as deployed by the Army Air Corps. In order to obtain a closer look, I ran down the track towards the canal, but after a period of only several minutes both helicopters flew off in the direction of Warminster to the south-west.I arrived at the canal bridge at about 10.30 hrs and almost immediately became aware of a very loud rumbling noise which seemed to be approaching from the west. Suddenly, two very large helicopters appeared, black in colour with no obvious markings or serial numbers, and fully armed. I was quickly spotted by the pilots and one of the aircraft flew towards me and took up a very low-level hovering position near the canal bridge. Feeling very vulnerable, I took cover behind some bushes adjoining the bridge. My attention was drawn to the other helicopter which had descended to ground level about several hundred yards over the field to my right. The crop below the helicopter was swirling violently as a result of the downbeat of the rotor blades and I noticed that an unusual apparatus was hanging beneath the fuselage which was about five feet in diameter, black in colour, spherical in shape with a short tube like protuberance beneath it and pointing at the ground.After a few seconds, I was somewhat taken aback to see and hear what appeared to be an explosive updraft of colourless steam or water vapour from the surface of the crop directly underneath the fuselage of the helicopter, which covered an area of approximately one hundred feet. This was accompanied by a loud hissing or sizzling sound, similar to that of rapidly cooling steam under pressure. The effect of this rising 'vapour' was to forcefully hit the underside of the helicopter, causing it to pitch and sway. Perhaps for safety reasons, the pilot rapidly ascended to a slightly higher altitude. After a matter of several seconds, the 'vapour' dissipated leaving an indistinct mark in the crop. I barely had time to deploy my video recorder, which had been packed away in my rucksack. Glancing at my watch, it was apparent that about four minutes had elapsed since the appearance of the helicopters.With my video camera now deployed, I ran down the track in order to obtain a clearer view of the incident. Almost immediately, the helicopter carrying the sphere-like apparatus swiftly gained altitude and moved off in the direction of Pewsey to the east. Meanwhile, the remaining helicopter, which had been making repeated low-level passes, perhaps in order to distract me from observing his colleague, also flew off in the direction of the military ranges over Salisbury Plain to the south. At this point I distinctly remember checking the the time-clock on my video camera which read 10.41 hrs.What happened next is still not entirely clear because the last thing I remember is noticing a new crop formation [the Woodborough Bridge formation] precisely where the second helicopter had been hovering and beneath which the 'water vapour' had risen from the crop. The following forty-five minutes were completely lost to me, because at 11.30 hrs I again found myself standing on the summit of Woodborough Hill without any memory of having walked to the hill from the canal bridge. Interestingly, the time-clock on my video camera inexplicably 'jumps' from 10.41 hrs to 11.24 hrs in a single frame. This is definitely not an edit or as a result of having paused or stopping the camera. The time-clock had been accurately set and tested three weeks previously and I had installed a new lithium battery. Despite this confusion, what is certain is that between 10.30 hrs and 10.41 hrs on the morning of 14th July 2003, coinciding with the presence of two unmarked helicopters, one of which deployed what appeared to be some exotic form of technology over the surface of the crop, a new formation appeared in a matter of seconds, which definitely wasn't there before 10.30 hrs.It is possible that the pilots, whether military or otherwise, were vectored to this location because they had prior knowledge of the imminent appearance of this formation, possibly in order to record or participate in its creation, for reasons we do not yet fully comprehend. Enquiries with the Ministry of Defence would no doubt prove fruitless, although there can be little doubt that the military are implicated in incidents involving the crop circle phenomenon, evidence of which has accumulated over the years through research and video recordings.Later on the morning of 14th July, I was able to make a thorough ground survey of the formation which was fairly typical of other similar 'pictograms', with a neat and tidy ground or floor 'lay' with very little obvious damage or breakage of the crop stems and seed heads. There was no evidence of any mechanical pressure having been applied via the use of stomping boards or garden roller. I would be very interested in contacting other researchers should they have further information regarding this formation, particularly aerial photographs, detailed ground surveys and perhaps more importantly, any results of crop sampling and testing from this formation. I would be happy to exchange research material, and would be intrigued if anyone else has also witnessed the above incident or obtained video footage, or has experienced harassment from low level military helicopters in Wiltshire or Hampshire.I can be contacted at the following email address:andrewjb68 (at) hotmail.comCopyright 2006.

Indiana Monster Snakes

THE STATE OF INDIANA HAS IT'S FAIR SHARE OF MONSTER SIGHTINGS AND STORIES. ALIEN BIG CATS, LAKE AND SWAMP MONSTERS, PHANTOM KANGAROOS, "DEVIL MONKEYS," BIGFOOT, LIZARD MEN, GIANT BIRDS, AND A POSSIBLE DRAGON. THE ONE PHENOMENON THAT INTRIGUES ME IS THE NUMBER OF SIGHTINGS AND ENCOUNTERS (NATURAL & SUPERNATURAL) WITH GIANT SNAKES OR SNAKE-LIKE CREATURES. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW AQUATIC REPORTS...BUT I'M CONCENTRATING ON THOSE INCIDENTS OF LAND-DWELLING SNAKES. THERE ARE OTHER PLACES IN THE USA THAT HAVE LARGE SNAKE REPORTS...BUT INDIANA, FOR WHATEVER REASON, HAS A MORE VARIED MIX OF SLITHERING SERPENTS. IS IT, FOR THE MOST PART, JUST BLUSTER? POSSIBLY...BUT MOST LEGENDS USUALLY START BASED ON FACT. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK:

GHOUL SNAKE INHABITS CEMETERY

The most horrible snake story of the season comes from Benton county, and is told by the Lafayette Courier as follows: "There is a larger snake, measuring fifteen feet in length, as large in circumference as a good-sized stovepipe, with eyes of fire, adorned with horns underneath fully ten inches long, in the cemetery west of Oxford Benton county, Ind. It has been seen by at least a dozen people, and the supposition is that it subsists by feasting upon the dead bodies interred therein. Rumors of such a reptile inhabiting the city of the dead have been afloat for two years but until recently they have not been believed.

A gentleman of Oxford, whose word was never known to be doubted saw the snake the other day, and although he found and picked up a club, he became frightened at its mammoth size, and instead of entering into a battle with it he took to his heels and without looking back to see if it was after him, ran breathless to his home. At first he gave some excuse for this hurried and excited arrival but at last related his experience. There is a certain amount of distress among the citizens of Oxford, who have relatives buried in the cemetery, over the general belief that the reptile is living upon the dead bodies. The gentleman who informed the Courier reporter this morning of the matter says that on investigation there have been found large holes leading down into the graves. It is with a feeling of horror, accompanied with a shudder, that the people of Oxford have learned of this unnatural being. Those who have seen it, describe it as being of frightening appearance with its fiery eyes, horns and mammoth size. None have seen it but that at the first glimpse their hair seemed to raise on their very heads, and their hearts to almost stop beating at the sight of the terrible creature. - "Logansport Journal, Logansport, Indiana - 3 September 1889"

MONSTER SERPENT DITCHES VEHICLES ALONG ROAD

By International News Service.

GREENSBURG, Indiana, October 8. - Prominent citizens in the southern part of Decatur County declare that stories regarding the depradations by a monster snake are not fables. They declare the reptile, reported to be from twenty-five to thirty-five feet long and proportionately large as to girth, has been seen several times in the community during the last few days.

Work has been virtually abandoned in some sections and men, armed with guns, are searching for the monster. A calf belonging to Robert Bishop is said to have been devoured by the snake and the entire community professes intense alarm.

Some residents advance the theory that the reptile escaped from some passing show. Others point to stories, emanating from Sullivan and Green counties, many miles distant, of a serpent of similar proportions which is declared to have ditched "flivvers" [Ford Model T automobiles] in encounters on the highways. The Sullivan-Green county reptile was described at widely separated points within a space of a few hours and it received much publicity - some of it more than half serious - in the newspapers.

Now the Decaturites are wondering if this monster donned figurative seven league boots and emigrated to this country. - "Brownwood Bulletin - Brownwood, Texas - October 8, 1920"

BIG JIM

The Woods and Streams north of Jasper found a dubious honor in the natural history of Indiana a few weeks ago when two men who were canoeing a flooded stream spotted a large snake swimming uncomfortably close to them.

After whacking it into oblivion with a paddle they took it to a conservation officer who identified the 42-inch-long serpent as a western cottonmouth, so-called because of its white mouth. Indiana suddenly became identified as the home of a fourth species of poisonous snake.

The western cottonmouth joins the timber rattlesnake and copperhead of southern and central Indiana and the massasauga, found in northern Indiana swamps.

The western cottonmouth, or water moccasin, has long been suspected to inhabit southern Indiana. One was reported in Gibson County in 1887, but its existence wasn't confirmed. Persons who want to look for cottonmouths might note its dark brown coloring under black markings, a triangular head and a heavy body. One way of telling it from the non-poisonous copperbelly is to look it in the eye. If the pupil is round the snake is safe. If it is slit-shaped like a cat's, it is venomous.

Experts say that of the four poisonous Indiana snakes, only the rattlesnake's bite is usually fatal. There is only one sure test of this rule of thumb.

Fortunately, or unfortunately--depending on your interest in snakes--residents of most of the Wabash Valley will have to go a ways to find one of the poisonous species. A recent issue of Outdoor Indiana reported that poisonous vipers seem to give Sullivan, Daviess, Knox, Pike and most of Gibson counties a wide birth.

A visitor to Vincennes in 1816 attributed the lack of snakes to the Indian custom of burning off the tall grass of the prairie each Fall to make spotting game easier. Also, the flat, rolling plain of Knox County is not the sort of topography rattlers prefer. They like hilly timbered land.

Then maybe the poisonous snakes have heard of the inglorious end of Big Jim.

A century ago stories of a giant rattlesnake were striking fear in the hearts of the area. Big Jim was reported as the terror of the Wabash, a monster rattler 10 feet long (or longer in some estimates). He made his home at Rattlesnake Bluff on the Little Wabash, 12 miles north of Carmi, Ill., although he reportedly ranged up and down the Wabash Valley.

The snake was first noticed in the spring of 1881 when loggers went to log the Skillet Fork bottoms.

According to the story of this confrontation, told with grand detail in 1908 by the Vincennes Commercial, the loggers were driven to shelter in rain to the bluff overhanging the river. A black man in the crew was sent for firewood, but he came back, terrified and empty-handed. The logger, who was named Big Jim, reported seeing a great demon prowling the bluff. Capt. Ed Ballard, in charge of the crew, angrily ordered the man back to his task.

Minutes later a scream was heard from the top of the bluff and Jim hurtled down the bluff and into the flooded river. He was never seen again, though an extensive search was made of the river the next day. More men ascended the bluff but heard what they said sounded like a thousand rattles. Rain or not, the survivors boated to the Illinois bank of the Wabash in record time.

The Commercial, looking back, said the logging business in the area was set back by stories of the giant snake. Also, other excursions of this of this monster rattler, now called Big Jim in honor of his victim, were reported in succeeding years. Near the bluff one farmer looked into his chicken yard and saw his best Plymouth Rock rooster staring eyeball to eyeball with a giant snake. He emptied a shotgun at the snake, and it disappeared. He said his rooster was never the same again.

Cattle and hogs were reported bitten in the area.

Then a group of turkey and squirrel hunters, including Knox County Sheriff Lee Staley, saw what they said was Big Jim on a log sunning himself. They blasted away at him, interrupting his nap but apparently not hurting him.

A country school four miles from Rattlesnake Bluff was the next site of a report. Big Jim was spotted nearby, and the frightened teacher gathered the students inside the school, shut the blinds and hid out until evening when parents came to see what the problem was. School was dismissed for the rest of the year.

One are farmer reported the snake's love for his blackberry patch. The farmer, William Ude, said his bull tried to horn the critter and came out the loser to the snake's fangs.

A large cage put over the hole to what was supposedly Big Jim's lair was found bent and twisted. A price was put on the snake's head, and fearful farmers began wearing high boots to ward off attacking snakes. A snake, Big Jim, of course, frightened a team of stagecoach horses near Centerville, Ill., sending one frightened traveler up a tree.

Dynamiters blew holes over Rattlesnake Bluff, maybe sending thousands of snakes to their deaths, but reportedly not Big Jim. In 1908, after more than a quarter of a century there still was a rattlesnake mania north of Carmi, and all reports of snakes were attributed to the legendary serpent.

Big Jim finally was put to rest, shortly after the latest account of his history had been told in the Commercial.

On the W.H. Thompson farm in southwestern Sullivan County, farm hand John Bascomb heard a commotion in the pigpen. A boar had a giant rattlesnake in his jaws, close enough to the head that the snake couldn't get in a knock-out punch. By the time he had returned with a rifle the other hogs in the pen were in the fray, stomping and biting at the writhing snake. Bascomb finally got a clear shot, and the snake was finished.

Bascomb mounted the skin, which measured 12 feet five inches and had 29 rattles. Whether Big Jim or just a big rattler, the legend of the terror of the Wabash died in a Sullivan County pigpen. - "The Valley Advance, Vincennes, Ind., May 31, 1983"

BIZARRE 'FIERY' SNAKE

Mark Weston, a farmer living near the town of Alexander, Ind., relates a most wonderful phenomenon which occurred at his place. He says:

"Just after dark night before last I had occasion to go out to the barn to look after the horses. A public highway passes within yards of my house, and the barn is built about 20 rods from the house due south and somewhat nearer the road. I started from the house in the direction of the barn and bad gone perhaps half the distance when I noticed something playing along the ground that looked like a tremendous fiery snake.

The object crossed my path, and as it did so I felt the air grow much colder and a peculiar, moaning sound arose, like the sighing of the wind through the trees, only it was loud enough to drown a man^aEURTMs voice when he would shout. Then I felt something come over me like electricity, and I became motionless as though I had grown fast to the ground.

I was terribly scared, but I never lost the use of my hands or legs through fear, though there was something peculiar in the air that simply paralyzed me. When the thing had got perhaps 50 feet from me going west, it turned and came back, and as it did so the moaning sound changed to a shrill whistle, something like a locomotive would make, and when it got just in front of me it took a course directly away from me and toward the barn.

It traveled very rapidly and looked like a large ragged streak of fire, perhaps 30 feet long and 18 inches in diameter. The thing reached the barn and in almost an instant ran directly up in front of the building and onto the roof. I expected every moment to see the barn burst into flames, but it did not. The great fiery snake ran with great rapidity all over the building, in almost every direction, up and down, crosswise and every way. I suppose, a thousand times. It then came to the front of the building and elevated itself, and it stood straight on its tail fully 30 feet in the air.

I was perfectly conscious all the time, but try as I would I could not move from the spot. After the thing had remained in an upright position for, I presume, three or four minutes there was a sudden explosion like the discharge of a cannon, and the thing disappeared entirely. With the disappearance of the strange phenomenon I felt a shock like the first one I had felt, and at the same time I gained control of my limbs. I hastened to the house, told my wife what I had seen, and she thought I was crazy, but upon my insisting she consented to accompany me to investigate the matter.

You can imagine our surprise upon reaching the barn to find it covered with a remarkable network resembling large ropes of ice. They appeared to pass around the building in exactly the way the fiery monster had passed. It was not ice, however, but seemed to be more of a crystal, for it would not melt even when we held a flame to it, and when struck with a hatchet it simply gave a dullish sound and did not break.

Upon entering the barn we were amazed, as two good horses stood in their stalls immovable. They were alive, but neither could move a muscle. They seemed to be paralyzed and stood there more like statues than anything else. They were warm and breathed all right, but aside from this you could not tell they were alive. I applied the whip, and they never flinched. A dog that sleeps in the barn was dead and appeared completely petrified. He was lying on the ground with his head on his paws just like he was sleeping. When I left home this afternoon, everything was just as I I have described it to you. - "Ogden Standard Examiner, Ogden, Utah - 1 July 1893"

Ufo Sighting In Lake Buena Vista Florida On May 24Th 2013 Same As What Was Seen In Miramar Fl

I was taking pictures at EPCOT with my 10x optical zoom lens on my iPad 4, when I noticed this ridiculously bright white cloud up in the sky. It looked like the mist version of a cheap CFL bulb, or a tube fluorescent light. It dissipated like cotton candy, and *not* like a normal cloud. We watched it just...hang. What got my attention was the fact this "cloud" went behind some thunderhead clouds... That would make this thing a) really far away, and b) insanely huge. The pictures I have just do not do it justice. While I was taking the pics, and my g/f and I were going "wow! That's a bright cloud!", someone else came up and asked me if I saw the blinking lights and showers of blobs coming out of it. I admit, I hadn't... but one of the pics I later monkeyed with (I still have the original as taken.) shows some odd artifacting around the object. Its not consistent with what's in the rest of the pic. Dark lines, small circles under the cloud, etc. I do not have the full ability to bring out the pic's qualities. Now, before this event, we were on the opposite side of EPCOT, and had heard a LOUD "thunder" like noise. Neither me or my g/f saw lightening, or heard anything else thunder like. Where we were was directly across from where I had taken the pic. I am guessing about 8 when we heard the boom. I looked, and someone reported this in Miramar, FL around 8 PM on this site. Miramar is like 200+ miles from us.

Sara Falkland Of The Bbc

Spoke to Don Ramkin a follower of Haunted Skies today he has emailed his report regarding the recovery of a stone(s) during one of many visits to Rendlesham Forest over the past ten years. He also had a toy elephant appear which may sound incredible,but some times the unbelievable happens. We should know as we have ourselves experienced the fall of a stone on more than one occasion and will be talking about this at the above lecture in September 2011. The fall of such objects is described as an apport which can involve a variety of objects, including coins but this is pleasure which I have never had although Don did have a bronze three pennny but appear. Spoke to Dennis Plunkett the long time head of the British Flying Saucer Bureau based in Bristol, he is a credit to UFO research and reminded me of the time many years ago when in the RAF about the notices warning of dire consequences about reporting UFOs -Hope Dennis returns to full health soon!Here is a photo of renown BBC Journalist Sara Falkland who used to live next door to us, she expressed an interest in interviewing us then the books were published, but of course we have never had any reply from a letter or emails sent to her! Maybe somone will see the photo and bring it to her attention?Well we are excited the 3rd book is nearly ready, a few more days.....Next week we will be structering Volume 4 which will cover these years 1968-1969-1970-1971-1972-1973thanks goodness its more than two years!Abduction of motor vehicle ! It is difficult what to make of this apparent very rare, almost unbelievable, report involving the removal of an abandoned vehicle alongside of the road at Farningham, Kent, at 9.00 pm. 16th July 1978 (not by the Police but by a UFO!) - if it wasn't for the fact that the Investigator was the well respected Margaret Fry, who was then living in Bexleyheath: "The man was motoring along the A2, just past Farningham, Kent, when he noticed a derelict car parked on the grass verge."Suddenly, a grey metallic silver cigar shaped object dropped from the sky and hovered over the vehicle. His car came to a halt and the driver felt paralysed.The abandoned car then rose upwards and was sucked through an opening in the object, which closed. The object then flew away and out of sight.I reported the incident to the Police, at Bexleyheath, who seemed interested.I know the witness went back to the scene and was horrified to see traces of where the car had been on the grass. He refused to get involved any further, feeling that if they could do that to a car what about if there had been someone in it?" -" Chilling words, if true. In February 2010 we spoke to Margaret Fry about this incident, who told us she regarded the witness as being genuine and that she had received two other sightings of strange phenomenon in the same place that very day. They included a report of an 'Entity', described as resembling a 'Michelin man', seen. Margaret promised to conduct a search through her comprehensive files, in order to obtain further information about the other incidents. (Source as above / 'Earthlink', Dan Goring)

Wonders In The Skies

Adoration readers,Really, Adelaide, South Australia is in for two very hot years. Today's foresight best is 39 degrees Celsius, and tomorrow is departure up to 43 degrees. Time to citadel to an air-conditioned room amid a fine book.Today's post is about such a book; in fact a new book by Jacques Vallee. Any new book by Vallee is appraise waiting for. His new book is co-authored by Chris Aubeck, and is gallant "Wonders in the sky: Cagey Satellite dish Possessions from Antiquity to Crack Era." Published in 2010 by Jeremy F Tarcher (Penguin.) New York. ISBN 978-1-58542-820-5.FOREWORD:The beginning to the book is on paper by David J Hufford, Professor Emeritus of Humanities and Breakdown, Penn Offer Academe of Drug.Hufford's PhD was in the side of Tradition, and Hufford reminds us that he "...was qualified that such coaching were all non-empirical and non-rational...Stagnant, I was pursuing the heretical air that folk opinion customs power genuinely incorporate clear-cut explanation, and that if they did they power thorn to crucial new knowledge."Hufford notes that Vallee's book "Passport to Magonia ...recognised the variation concerning the bottom phenomenonology of reports and the town talking and interpretations that clothed that bottom in get hard accounts." (p.2.)Hufford praises Vallee and Aubeck. "Their fast methodological safety allows Vallee and Aubeck to presume the most quarrelsome and exciting aspects of these activities imperfect the break out of first support to any persnickety interpretation."THE BOOK:Discourse about reports of UFOs, the authors abstract that "Positive by books and movies, most family connections hold tight jumped to haphazard conclusions: they abstract that unidentified flying objects are spaceships from special planetary civilization..." (p.7.)They state that "The phenomenon did not begin in the 1940's, or upright in the nineteenth century. It is drastically dreary that that." (p.7.)The book presents a catalogue of 500 reported sightings "...from antiquity to the appointment 1879..." The cut=off appointment was wittingly return so as to be able to permit any guesswork of explanation being due to "...airplanes, dirigibles, rockets and the often-mentioned opportunities for misrepresentation represented by military prototypes." (p.8.)The authors "...hold tight emerged amid four crucial observations:1. Near history, faint phenomena variously described as prodigies or celestial wonders, hold tight made a crucial sway on the work out and the freshness of the people who witnessed them.2. Every one clock has interpreted the phenomena in its own lingo, steadily in a definite dedicated or enthusiast context. Family unit hold tight future their world suspicion, doubts, fantasies, and hopes into what they saw in the sky. They immobile do so today.3. Even though abundant details of the activities hold tight been gone or hard-pressed under the crystal-clear rug of history, their sway has fashioned human civilization in crucial ways.4. The program unvarying from these ancient cases can be profitably concrete to the moneyed stripe of above ground phenomena that are immobile reported and maintain inexplicable by existing science." (p12.)"The authors contest that "...if the phenomenon has existed in fairly honorable form for a very hunger time, it becomes harder to purchase to a superficial "ET visitation" scenarios to blueprint it." (p.13.)The banquet of yard goods about dreary cases has been undertaken by "...unusual teams of historians, anthropologists, myths specialists and philologists..." (p.19) aided by the availability of the Internet.Citing history references, the authors contest that claimed sightings hold tight perpetually changed the course of history.CONTENT:The book is split into three parts:Associate I: A chronology of wonders, pages 27-352.Associate II: Folklore, legends and chariots of the Gods. Pages 353-449.Associate III: Sources and methods.Associate I:The 500 "Wonders" launch amid an deem in about 1460BC in Lebanon, where a "star" defeats the Nubians (p.29.) Any candidature provides a date, a determined, the text and a anyway. Masses entries hold tight notes promote by the authors.In the midst of the "Wonders" we tinge ability stars'; 'abductions'; perched objects'; emission generating globe'; 'self-propelled cloud'; and abundant other descriptions.Associate II:This divide into four parts of the book looks at "...the stories we hold tight rejected from the set up chronology, under four crucial categories..." (p.354.)These are:"1. Baseless story, hoax, made-up autobiography or tall crash.2. Religious vision.3. Unrestrained from top to bottom phenomenon.4. Optical enchanting or atmospheric put down."This divide into four parts provides an put to the test of a number of of the peculiar and excellent tales which hold tight emerged in the past, and which transport circulating despite the consequences evidence that the autobiography is criminal.Associate III:The authors put in the picture how they screened and prearranged the yard goods for incorporation in the book. Their system for inclusions included credibility; definite a bit than predominant date/time and annihilation of well-known hoaxes.CONCLUSION:Of late, the authors give a buzz a number of of the substance which they hold tight learnt from task this work. "...from all this work, how self-important are the consequence, do they convoy us anything new about the avant-garde phenomena usually called "UFOs" and is here excellent yet to be discovered?" (p.477.)COMMENTS:This book was a pay the bill, all to scuff out of order as unequivocally as I normal it, and to take to mean out of order meticulously which I now hold tight made time to do. I hold tight perpetually looked favourably on the awareness that the UFO phenomenon has deep extraction and that the July 1947 "launch" was thoroughly of the avant-garde interpretation of what was being seen. I hold tight perpetually found vigorous the arguments for a hunger history for the phenomenon, and to tinge it together with other elements of the paranormal.Two Australian cases view in the 500 "Wonders." "Mushroom Wingen - case 408""Parade 1828, Mushroom Wingen, AustraliaCigar fashioned object landsA reserved flying object was thought to hold tight descended upon Mushroom Wingen at the Pungent Load Nature Sphere. It was "cigar-shaped and had a amusing silver colour" and made a loud banging dub. According to the report, "to the same degree it landed it set be on fire to all the plants and killed the cattle."Allegedly, tall strangers appeared in the town at the identical time. "They never thought anything but perpetually quick to the substance they receive."The gadget obligation hold tight caused entirely a kindle as the folk of Wingen began concerning it amid furtive disappearances among them: "Sensibly steadily family connections just dead and dogs and disciplined birds dead too," wrote the trace, referring to the crash his grandfather second hand to tell.Source: Australian Rod, June 17, 1989, and W Chalker, Threaten 1947, Australian Original Subtlety & Practicable UFO links (1990.)"I was distraught that the anyway for this candidature was not a number of press release in 1828, but had thoroughly been set down in 1989.

Aliens From Zeta Reticuli Or Something Fowl From The Farm The Ufo Enigma Solved

For hundreds, or thousands of living contemporary relay been sightings and reports of UFO's from all over the place completely point of the planet. Of course a lot of these sightings and reports might correct be stories or even tradition handed down from duration to duration, but when so copious cases perhaps contemporary is a sharp concurrence of truth to the reports. In fact if the ancient caveman was the virtuously ones to relay recorded incidents of UFO encounters, we may easily penalty off the reports as tradition. Every court contemporary are broaden reports of UFOs then the previous living, in fact in the court 2010 contemporary were broaden reports of UFO's then previous living, and 2011 looks to be the incredibly. Not virtuously are contemporary thousands of reports completed by normal dwell in, but copious of the reports give off in from what is regarded as battle who relay a by and large high IQ and or far ahead place of duty in civilization, such as military personnel, firm pilots, government personnel, doctors and others. Surge everything is leaving on, and I quantity I relay stumbled upon a mystery most chicken clear in your mind. Growing up on a groovy dairy farm I was prohibited to seeing many routine, routine, chickens and roosters. One summer my brother and I were still terrorized by a capon, a Rhode Island Red, named Bubby. Bubby was a firebrand, in fact he was a real bully, whenever my brother and I ventured distant, he would attack us. Bubby, might be 100 feet to another place, and if he spotted one or any of us he would fleeting, run, panic his wings and head towards some one of us was the bordering to him. Bubby would attack when flapping wings, pecking his tasty knock, and poking us in the shins when his tasty spurs. My brother and I would run, intense modish the house, internal bleeding lavishly from our wounds, to the same degree Bubby, would imprudently walk lay bets towards the store when his head alleged high in accomplish. Bubby, the capon, cracked copious summer vacations for my brother and I, due to the fact that we had to burn up all over the place all of our time to another place from Intellectual, being a prisoner interior the house. One day a fellow citizen mate of my Brothers, a boy named Berak, came down to adjourn us, he came interior and said; "You guys are not leaving to quantity this but I correct saw a UFO flying over your house!" Berak, understood the UFO was groovy, and it was created the same a ring or saucer. Berak, talked so notably about the UFO, that anyway being terrorized by Bubby, the capon, my brother and I firm to go distant to see if we might spot the UFO ourselves. The three of us had been distant for disclose 10 proceedings a long time ago our mate Berak, shouted "In attendance it is!", we looked up in the restriction Berak, was looking, and we any saw a groovy UFO correct as Berak, had described sooner than. We stood contemporary for a few seconds and watched as the groovy UFO hovered over the store, then it started label in our restriction, uncommonly the closer it got, the minor it became in tome, the same it had particular enlightened technology to morph or revise it's shape. Instinctively the UFO, numerous intensely modish a shape my brother and I had seen copious epoch, it was Bubby, the capon. Uncharacteristically all of the epoch Bubby, had attacked us, he did so by frank, and flapping his wings, now he had revealed the unintended to fly. We all ran modish the house intense, and we told our Dad about the UFO that had numerous modish a capon. Dad, laughed and said; "Heck I relay seen that copious epoch on the farm, a Rhode Island Red Poultry has a special chemical in their fluff that makes them side buckled in effortless a long time ago they fly, in fact the brighter the sun is amusing, the broaden they smear, they even do it in the sphere of the night time a long time ago they fly, pliant off a bake of Poultry Bio-Luminousness or 'RBL' as scientists control it". Like mad a reserved normal Rhode Island Red Poultry can total to be a groovy saucer created UFO a long time ago flying. It sounded fantastic but we had seen it when our very eyes. Exceptional the emergence court I firm to do particular experiments, so I saved my kick that I earned by transnational issues of cold and damp Herring check, and I purchased a Barred List type of Poultry. The Barred List is decorated black or (dark taupe) and feeble, I got a very real one that might fly high, and let it shapeless. The Barred List Poultry took off and flew a depleted but high crossing modish the air, as the sun light shined off it, it in a flash took the shape of a groovy cigar or move created UFO, again as when the Rhode Island Red flew, its tone numerous lay bets modish that of a capon as it neared the ground. Bordering I purchased a feeble type of Poultry, called a Drawn Leghorn, and go to regularly the analysis, not virtuously did the rooster's tone revise what time it flew modish the brightness, but it appeared to revise modish a groovy, adjacent, black triangle craft, and a long time ago flying at night it appeared to relay lights groundwork it. I quantity I had stumbled upon solving one of the reach your peak mysteries of mankind, the UFO air of mystery. I command that copious descendants that contact this article soul discover the evidence hard to quantity, but I relay the test observations and the proof to lay bets it up. This the same explains why after thousands and thousands of UFO's reports, contemporary is no concrete proof of one, even as they land, but if you retain one particular radiance subtle day or in the sphere of a shimmering night, side truthfully as it nears the ground, and you may discover that in reality it is a capon that has run off from particular farmers coop.

Ufo Sighting In Tripoli Tarabulus On October 15Th 1959 Light East To West Disappeared Beyond Trees

September/October 1959. I was in the U.S. Air Force stationed at Whellus AB, Libya, North Africa. Another Airman and I were walking back to the barracks after going to a movie. The surrounding area was dark and the night sky was clear. We were chit-chating about different things when a moving Light appeared in the sky heading in the same direction we were walking (West). We watched it disappear beyond the trees. We turned around to see if there was anything else behind us, thinking the light must have come from that direction. There was nothing unusual. We discussed what we had just seen and concluded it must have been a satellite. The Light was bigger than the stars, made no sound, and appeared faster than any aircraft (jets) we had seen. There was no vapor trail illuminated by the stars. The whole incident took about five (5) seconds. We didn't think anything more about it until a few minutes later the Light came back from beyond the trees (I can't be sure if it was the exact spot where it disappeared earlier), this time heading in a general South South East direction. We watched it travel across the clear sky until it again disappeared, this time over the horizon. Once again there was no sound and no vapor trail that we could see. Our reaction this time was a little spooked since we were well accustomed to jet engine noise. When we got back to the barracks, we told our friends what we saw. Someone called the Flight line Control Tower and asked if they had seen anything. Their reply was no. In hindsight and thinking back to their location on the flight line, the Light we saw would have been behind them. And since their primary duty is to observe the flight line, it's understandable they would not have seen the light. We did not think about asking about radar. One other thing I can remember is someone telling us the time and we both remarked that it could not be that late. How late? I have no idea just that it seemed later than what time we thought it should be. I don't recall if the Light blocked out the stars. I have since seen satellites in the sky and can say the Light was bigger than a satellite and travelled much faster. I can also say I believe the Light we saw was in a much lower altitude than a satellite.

Citizen Hearing And The Uss Helm

There was another aspect to the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure that was more personal than anything else. I looked at it as an opportunity to engage in some first-hand research. I could talk to some of the people who had witnessed UFO sightings and UFO events and get their perspective without those perspectives being filtered through another research or writer. I could learn if their stories had been distorted by others. I could learn, personally, what they had to say. " NARA in College ParkOne of the things I wanted to do was visit the National Archives in College Park because I had learned that the deck logs of the USS Helm" were kept there. Paul C. Cerny and Robert Neville, two UFO investigators with the Mutual UFO Network, reported in the July 1983 issue of the "MUFON UFO Journal" that a sailor with the fleet off Guadalcanal in August 1942 said a disk-shaped object circled overhead. According to them, "...a chief at the time aboard the U.S.S. Helm... had an excellent observation of an incredible encounter with an unknown, unidentified intruder. At 10:00 a.m. the fleet received a radar report from one of the cruisers and a little later a visual sighting of the object was made from their destroyer." Inside the National ArchivesThe sighting, according to the unidentified source, said that the initial contact had been by radar. The object was then seen by the sailors of the fleet, as it approached. Because it was not coming from the correct direction, known then as the radio beam according to the witness, the object was assumed to be hostile. When it was still over a mile away, the fleet opened fire.According to Cerny and Neville, "The unknown then made a sharp right turn and headed south from an approach heading of 320 degrees. The UFO increased its speed and then circled the entire fleet."The witness, who unfortunately refused to let his name be used, said that he had a pair of 7 x 50 binoculars so that he had a chance to see the object quite well. According to him, it was fairly flat, silver in color, with a slight dome in the center of the top.Having circled the fleet, the object departed to the south. It had been taken under fire but the speed seemed to make it difficult to hit. If it had been struck by any of the antiaircraft fire, it showed no adverse effects to that.There were two dates given for the event in the. The first was August 5, 1942, just prior to the Marine landing on Guadalcanal, and the second as either October 9 or 10, 1942.I now have the deck logs for the dates given, and while they are interesting, which is to say they are a little slice of history, they are also boring. Every entry begins with "Steaming as before," and they provide the routine matters of the ship's operation. If something unusual happens, it is logged such as an event on October 10, 1942. The log said, "1930 [7:30 p.m.] stopped to identify small boat."I know that during a gunnery practice on October 10, they fired 330 rounds from 20 mm machine guns at an airborne target sleeve.But I also know that on those dates in October, the "USS Helm" was not with the invasion fleet, but was operating off Palm Island, near close to Australia. They took on passengers from the sea plane base there and moved them to Townsville, Queensland, Australia.So, on the days that the unidentified sailor suggested they had been "buzzed" by a disk-shaped object, the "USS Helm" was engaged in routine activities. There is nothing to suggest that they fired on a target, an unidentified "enemy" aircraft, or anything else. The only day they apparently fired their weapons (on the three mentioned) was October 10 for gunnery practice.And no, I do not believe that the CIA or the Air Force got to the deck logs and altered them to remove the sighting. During 1942 anything like this would have been thought of as enemy action. In 1942 no additional excitement would have been attributed to it, and with, literally, hundreds of ships engaged in the war, and tens of thousands of sailors fighting that war, no additional attention would have been brought. By the time the war ended, nearly everyone would have forgotten about a minor shooting incident during the invasion of Guadalcanal.Here are the conclusions that can be drawn from this:a. Without the name of the sailor, there is a real problem with the validity of the incident. There is no way to check his background to ensure he was assigned to the "USS Helm" at the proper time.b. The deck logs (or rather the pages I have) of the ship do not provide any corroboration for the tale, though had it happened, this is the sort of thing that would have been logged.c. Even though the deck logs on the dates given by the witness do not corroborate his tale, it doesn't mean that he didn't get the date wrong. The article in the "MUFON UFO Journal" gives three dates. I didn't have the ability to look through the whole deck log, which means that someone should do that, just to be sure.d. For the October dates, the "USS Helm"was just off the coast of Australia, which doesn't mean that it wouldn't have engaged an enemy aircraft if one had been spotted. Of course, if the object was an alien spacecraft, the location of the sighting, meaning close to Australia, doesn't eliminate it.All this means to me is that one more case of a disk-shaped object seen prior to Arnold has not been verified. Had the deck logs mentioned the incident, then we would have documentation for the sighting prior to Arnold. Without that corroboration we have another sighting reported after Arnold that allegedly happened prior to Arnold.At any rate, this provides a little bit of an update for the sighting as first reported, but it still has not been conclusively eliminated. To do that, meaning to ensure that we haven't overlooked something, a careful study of the "USS Helm's" deck logs for August, September and October, 1942 should be made. It is always possible the witness got the date wrong... though I suspect that is not the case.

I Was A Teenage U S Air Force Spy

If you judge me based solely upon my critical comments about the U.S. Air Force in this blog, you could easily believe I'm a military hater, consumed with destroying the Air Force image -- and you would be wrong. Remember, I was an Air Force airman for four years and gave them 100 percent of my abilities. I put a few memories into my blog, "Robert Barrow's Air Force," accessible in the link list. If anybody reads my entries here just because they can't wait for my next slap at the military, they really should go elsewhere because I'm not here to waste words destroying the armed services that keep us free, and I could never say enough about the men and women in uniform who risk their lives in situations the rest of us can hardly comprehend.

Sure, I've had my disputes with the Air Force over the UFO issue. Yet, there was a time during my fleeting teenage era, a year or so before I would end up in an Air Force uniform myself, an occasion where the USAF "enlisted" my services in another respect, when something remarkable occurred.

The year was 1967, a perspective in time currently consumed often in this blog, and this event elicited twists and turns that even I don't understand to this very day. See that yellow magazine cover? Click on it for a larger version. It's the July, 1977 issue of Argosy UFO, at that time one of the better national newsstand UFO periodicals. Down on the left, see that red blurb about a strange alliance and how a ufologist came to the aid of the Air Force? That's the title of my article inside -- well, I don't think that was my original title, but something Argosy UFO concocted to look good on the cover. No matter, it described the story accurately.

When I wrote the piece some 10 years after the event, by then years after my USAF enlistment had come and gone, I changed all of the names, including mine, and made up names for locations. I called myself Mike Grant. You need to understand, I'm perpetually paranoid as a writer about lawsuits and people who walk the earth in a focused quest merely to make trouble for others, and this was a story not only about UFOs, but about some unpleasant UFO "investigators" of ill repute as well.

Now, skip forward to 2004. In the "UFO Updates" portion of Errol Bruce-Knapp's Virtually Strange Network (see link), to my surprise, the issue of some UFO sightings in the Newfield/Ithaca area of New York State in the sixties was raised -- the very topic of my disguised Argosy UFO article in 1977.

At that point, I decided to jump into the discussion with my version of the events, to the extent I felt comfortable expressing them, and my lengthy response is still available online. To that end, dear readers, rather than repeat everything here, I'm going to post the link to that 2004 "UFO Updates" reply for your interest. Was I a teenage spy for the Air Force? Did they use me...or did I use them? Have a look for yourself at the following link OR proceed just beyond it here and I'll provide the details:

ufo/updates/2004/nov/m20-009.shtml

I was an AF Spy

The July, 1977 issue of "Argosy UFO" carried my article, "Story of a Strange Alliance: How a Ufologist Came To The Aid Of The Air Force." This was the editor's cover title, not mine, because my own choice would not have been so self-serving. I took great care to change names and locations, but the piece was actually all about some Ithaca and Newfield, NY UFO reports. The UFO researcher whom I named "Mike Grant" was really myself. In 1977, I still felt uncomfortable bringing certain things to light, and made it clear from the article's opening lines that these changes had been made. Nevertheless, to reiterate the basic story outlined in the "Argosy UFO" article...

One day, sometime in the mid-sixties (forgive me, time has clouded my memory and files are hiding somewhere with sock drawer fugitives), I received an unexpected phone call in upstate NY from a stranger. Still a high school teenager, I had already been interested in UFOs for a few years and, though I wasn't quite sure where he got my phone number, I had appeared on local radio programs and had investigated the 1965 Northeast power blackout a bit, so that wasn't really an enigma. What was a mystery was his question - did I have any information on UFO sightings in Newfield, near Ithaca? No, I had none. Then the man wished to know whether I was familiar with a certain UFO investigator in that area, whom he named. Again, no was my response. The man thanked me and said goodbye.

The next day, I received another call, this time from somebody with an all-too-similar calm, smooth voice, maybe with a slight southern accent. He gave his name and identified himself as an Air Force intelligence officer from Hancock Field in Syracuse. In my article, I made him a captain for reasons even I have forgotten, but I believe his actual rank was first lieutenant. In any event, I'll refer to him as "Captain Todd," as I had in my writing.

The officer casually informed me that he had been "working" in this area for several weeks and had seen some of my letters to local newspapers about UFOs. He appreciated my sincere approach to the UFO topic - even though my most recent letter offered a scathing attack on recent UFO 'explanations' hastily given out by officials at Hancock Field about local sightings. Todd was sure to emphasize, however, that the USAF at Hancock Field "is not hiding anything."

Todd went on to tell me that, even though there were reports ofUFOs, landings, occupants and physical evidence in the Newfield/Ithaca area, there were other Air Force officials - BlueBook? - investigating on the scene and they felt that most of the reports had no substance at all.

His particular concern, however, appeared to be a couple of civilian UFO investigators who, like me, had connections with major private UFO organizations. He expressed dismay, not that they were questioning UFO witnesses, but that they were leading the witnesses in questioning, injecting suggestive comments about spaceships and aliens during the sessions. To my shock -and remember, I was just a kid, some distance away from the UFO activity in the Ithaca area - he asked if I would try to find out more information about, particularly, one of these UFO investigators. Further, Todd insisted that I not tell the private organizations about Air Force interest. He wanted me to handle all of this "diplomatically."

What a dilemma this was for me, as no fan of the Air Force UFO investigation, but intensely loyal to the goals of the civilianUFO groups to which I belonged. Yet, because Captain Todd was seemingly being up front with me and extremely kind with his approach, I could only assume that what little assistance I might provide - even as a teenage UFO geek - would be the best way to go.

But Todd was stern about a couple of things that he wished me to understand implicitly. First, he forbade me to use his name at all, and I was absolutely not to tell the major UFO organizations or anybody at all that the Air Force had an interest in this situation. Second, when I flat-out demanded to know whether there was physical evidence where UFOs were said to have landed, Todd insisted coldly that there was no physical evidence and there was no landing scene to investigate. This officer, if nothing else, seemed a debunking hardliner and my comments about good historical UFO cases were all dismissed by him.

After this initial forty minute conversation, Capt. Todd informed me he was preparing a report on the supposedly tainted civilian investigators - for whom, I don't know - and as this, the first of numerous phone conversations, ended, he gave me two numbers where I could reach him - one seemed in error, but the other worked fine.

But I wasn't about to let this go by so easily. Among my interests was the - now defunct - NORAD installation at HancockField, the SAGE (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment) building, a windowless facility that housed the highest of high-tech equipment for tracking who-knows-what entering the air space of the United States. Call me a foolish kid, call me an idiot, butI decided to bargain a little. I expressed to Capt. Todd that, in return for my services, wouldn't it be great if I could get into the SAGE facility to see what that place is all about? To my amazement, Todd said he thought that could be arranged!

Ultimately, I found that there apparently were some underhanded things going on via some civilian investigators in theNewfield/Ithaca area. An official of one of the major UFO organizations, knowing only that I was looking into the technique of certain investigators, repeated to me several times during a phone conversation regarding one that he "is a weird person, he's just weird." Indeed, that organization had received other complaints about this member.

One Sunday evening, Todd phoned to tell me he was imformed that a team of university scientists (re the Colorado UFO study) was coming to Newfield to conduct a UFO investigation. For some reason, he found this difficult to believe, though he was aware that a Project Blue Book consultant had been there a few days before. A few hours later, I confirmed that the team was coming and relayed this information to Capt. Todd.

Now, here's the really, really peculiar part: Upon hearing that the team was coming, the officer's voice became extremely concerned and he explained to me again that he anticipated complete and absolute secrecy regarding our contacts. "Neither I nor the others at my office want to be associated with the investigation in any way, at any time," he demanded. Then the bombshell hit: "Bob, I want you to know something. I'm not even supposed to be talking with you. The public information office here at Hancock Field doesn't even know I am speaking with you."

By this time, I had come to realize that Todd was working with at least two other people. One was a high-ranking NCO, and the other a woman, perhaps an officer, or maybe enlisted. I spoke with her only once, but had numerous conversations with the sergeant.

As days went by, the civilian "investigators" in question decided to come to nearby Syracuse to appear with local media and to conduct public meetings about their "findings." I was asked to appear with them on some program, but I obviously declined because I wished to safeguard my own reputation in addition to being in the uncomfortable position of checking these people out. By now, first one, and then both major national UFO organizations with whom these people had become affiliated were blazing angry over their affiliations and were taking steps to distance themselves.

I spoke with reporters sent to cover the civilian investigators. One told me of a meeting in which a few hand-picked and easily influenced UFO witnesses were brought along, and he remarkedthat one of the investigators just seemed "very weird" to him.

As things progressed, the civilian investigators in question even formed their own UFO investigative organization and they were soliciting membership fees. Capt. Todd, in his latest conversations with me, began to lose his cool. He had become extremely upset that the civilian group leaders were criticizing his own now-apparent investigations in the Ithaca/Newfield area, and he seemed worried that his formerly low profile regarding the AirForce investigation had surfaced.

I asked Capt. Todd, during a phone conversation in which he was quite emotional and disturbed, what in the world was wrong? "Trouble." he replied. "Wright-Patterson found out that (the civilian investigators) were screaming about our investigation in Newfield." So what, I wondered? "That's the problem," Todd returned. "Wright-Patt called me and wanted to know why I was down there."

"Didn't they know why?" I asked, now absolutely confused.

"I told them I was ordered to go," he shot back.

"I thought they -- Blue Book -- ordered you to go," I said.

The phone conversation ended abruptly. He would not speak further with me on this occasion. Capt. Todd, or First Lt. Whomever, he was off the phone, click.

One of the newspaper reporters called me later in the evening to tell me the university scientists had arrived and were staying at a certain inn, being mobbed by the press and the curious. However, when I called the inn, the clerk insisted that there was no "mob scene" and that if scientists had arrived, he knew nothing about them being there.

When I reinitiated contact with Capt. Todd later in the evening,I discovered that while the clerk at the inn was telling me there were no scientists in town, as a matter of fact one of those non-existent scientists had just spoken with the captain on the phone.

The scientists (probably affiliated with the University of Colorado UFO project which ultimately ended in disaster) looked into the UFO situation, publicly claimed disappointment with their findings and left town. The civilian "investigators" cried foul to the press, seething particularly about the formerly reclusive Capt. Todd's investigations, and went about the business of raising funds for their new UFO research group -- perhaps unaware by this time that the New York State Attorney General's Office was getting complaints about the use of members' money and an investigation was underway.

Eventually, the civilian investigators, having already been thrown out of the two major UFO organizations, were brought up on criminal charges by the State of NY and they were effectively prosecuted for scamming people out of their money. They had also told some fantastic lies, even claiming a veritable father-son relationship with Project Blue Book personnel as they used their pied-piper personalities to entwine the UFO faithful into parting with their cash.

As if a light switch was turned off, I instantly lost all contact with Capt. Todd. He was simply gone. However, the weeks passed and suddenly, one winter's morning, someone claiming to be an Air Force officer called my home while I was out. The name was not taken and he did not call back.

A couple of weeks later, I phoned the Hancock Field phone number that I knew so well by then. A familiar voice answered; it was the sergeant whom I had spoken with many times. He confirmed that Capt. Todd had transferred to a new assignment in some other state about a month earlier. As we spoke, the NCO confided that he very much wished he could give me his personal opinion about the nature of UFOs, but felt it best not to do so. "But,"he offered, "I'm sure my opinions would be much the same as yours."

Postscript: You, dear reader, probably believe this incredibly convoluted story of confusion and intrigue has now ended. Not true. A few days later, I received a phone call from the public information office at Hancock Field in Syracuse. Wherever he had gone, whatever he had become or was in the first place, the mysterious Capt. Todd -- rather, First Lt. Whomever -- had not forgotten his promise. He had asked the sergeant to make arrangements for me to tour the SAGE installation. After one delay and questions of security complications due to the nature of the tour, I gained my precious entrance into the world ofNORAD. The installation no longer graces the grounds of Hancock Field, but I can say that it was a fantastic experience to watch it work from the inside. I and what seemed primarily a group of Japanese officials or scientists were guided through the building, shown what were then giant freezer-sized computers and ultimately the auditorium-sized room with the big NORAD Screen on the wall that we've all seen in those old movies. The radar, all the officers, airmen and WAFs sitting at their duty stations, the speaker-generated sounds of multiple voice communications coming and going from all over the country and overseas as the huge screen before us awaited friend and foe alike - well, it was all pretty darned impressive.

And for me, something equally as impressive happened when I first walked into the SAGE building. I was actually greeted by the sergeant, his name tag reading exactly who he said he was many months ago. No kid was this, either, he was a chief master sergeant, on the verge of retirement. The lines on his face spoke of experiences of which most can only dream. Despite all of the confusion and the things that will never be explained to my satisfaction regarding theIthaca/Newfield UFO situation, few could ever know what a comfort it was to me just to see a tag with a name that at least seemed real. Chief master sergeant such-and-such (of course, I remember real names to this day) was real. Whatever I had experienced was official and absolutely meaningful and real.

I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about the Ithaca/Newfield UFO sightings over the years, which I personally believe have a basis. Back then, I had to finish high school and then, in an era where both the Rev. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were assassinated as the USA slipped further into the turmoil of Vietnam, the military draft began biting at my heels. With only two college courses completed, a week before the final draft notice arrived I entered the Air Force as an enlistee. If anybody thinks I was rewarded further for helping the enigmatic young Air Force officer, my addendum would be that my Air Force recruiter promised me photography school. Instead, I was trained as a medic.

Ufos In The Desert Part 4Saturday Was The Fourth Day Of The

" UFOS IN THE Defer, Neighborhood 4Saturday was the fourth day of the Conglomerate UFO School assembly in Fountain Hills, Arizona, the prime UFO conference in the world. My deep-rooted Blog posting covers the third day. Stylish is a gather hitch to the first posting about the conference. Ben McGeeThe first raconteur on Saturday first light was Ben McGee, native tongue on "GALACTIC LEADEN EXISTENCE, XENOARCHAEOLOGY, AND THE CASE FOR CONCRETE ARTIFACTS AS EMINENT STYLE.'" He is best important as the atheist guy on Testify Geographic Channel's sad Chasing UFOs which, I am blissful to report, tendency not be new for different sense. He has his own spaceflight consulting trade. He began by noting that at make, we can just scientifically support one soul of life: that of earth. But '"extremophile"' life abounds on earth, symptomatic of that life can exist in a wide girth of conditions. He described the history of life on earth in terms of "GALACTIC BEING," the time certain for one opulent sequence of our galaxy (220 MILLION BEING). For that reason "DEVOTED TIME" is register to castle in the sky about in terms of the predominance of ETI. Homeland has had five bizarre extermination procedures in the last 2.5 galactic being, and two happening the last G.Y. So how hunger would a civilization last in our galaxy? L, or lasting, is a term in the famous Drake Equation for estimating ETI, and choosing a longer or shorter figure considerably alters the bring to an end. Isaac Asimov anticipated, stopping at the Drake Equation, that bestow are just 10 planets in our galaxy now that put up with best quality civilizations. If drastic extermination procedures are tasteless, after that an anticipated 325 million planets would continue not an meticulous civilization, but the leftovers of one. For that reason, Xenoarchaeology, the inspect of artifacts from extraterrestrial civilizations, which would absence interchange methods than uninterrupted archaeology. He did not account for how we are supposed to get to the sitting room everywhere Xenoarchaeology tendency be performed, although we may credibly encounter such artifacts in our own solar system, the fragments of ancient visitations. Like in the day I had a likelihood to crack not later than Ben (WE HAD MORE WILLINGLY THAN BEEN IN CONTACT BY EMAIL). A person was wildly eloquent him about supposed "ORBS" that tinkle in several of her photos, and he explained to her, not later than extensive acceptance, how this was the bring to an end of close-up touch up particles in the air being illuminated by the brightness. I semi-apologized to him for having to speak such rigorously load about the Testify Geographic's Chasing UFOs (AS DID VERGE ON A PERSON ELSE). He intended he was reverse in the show, too. The show was basic offered to them as a '"sightings observation type of program, but interchange producers took over and through it at home a courage hunters"' type of loopy action show. I asked him what was he working on now, and he told me about a new series on the Weather Exploit called "FORECASTING THE END," which premieres Protest march 21. It deals not later than issues in geology, astronomy, and radiation science. It basic be exciting.

2007 Incident At Machynlleth

At approximately 9.20pm on 27th April 2007, Colin Grethe from Dundee, Scotland, was driving back from London, along the A470 country road, a few miles from Machynlleth, on a dark unlit night, listening to the music on the radio. He noticed a group of bright lights to the side, a couple of feet above the road, and an orange light on either side of the road, which at first he took to be traffic lamps, placed onto the road - then realised this couldn't be the case.

"On the outer side of the orange lights could be seen a number of bright white lights, with other bright white lights above and in the centre, below the level of the other lights. At first I was confused as to what it was - then I realised I could see what looked like something resembling the wingspan of an aeroplane, approximately fifty feet in total, its shape extending right across the road and a short length either side.

At each tip of the 'wing' were bright white lights, highlighting, in their illumination, a small vertical construction - a few feet in from each tip - between the white and the orange light. This seemed to give it the appearance of an old aircraft, yet the whole wingspan itself seemed made of a smooth shiny material. There was a bright white light at the centre, just below the wingspan, and also a glowing dome of white above the wingspan - similar in a way to a cockpit - in which I could see the top half? of two figures, or just two figures (bottom half concealed by 'cockpit') As it approached closer, descending lower, swaying from side to side, the wing going up and down, my immediate reaction was to wonder if it was an aircraft.

The white lights on the wings began rocking up and down, as if the aircraft was having difficulty in remaining straight and about to ditch onto the road before me. I thought to myself, it's going to hit me - I was going to die. Those brief moments, as it came closer, seemed like an eternity, almost happening in slow motion. I checked my rear view mirror, but there was no vehicle behind me. There was no place for me to steer the car off the road, so I wondered whether my best option was to brake or just to keep on going, and hope to avoid a crash.

I breathed a huge sigh of relief as it silently passed overhead, but was puzzled not to see any tailfin. I glanced back and forth between my rear view mirror and wing mirror, anxious to see the shape pass fully over, but could see nothing. I quickly stopped the car and got out; looking back down the dark road I could neither see nor hear anything.

Trying to make sense of it all, I wondered if the aircraft had ditched into a field beyond where I could see in the darkness. So, I jumped back into the car and was about to dial 999 on my mobile phone, and report the incident to the Police, when I realised I did not know my exact location, and wouldn't have been able to direct anyone to the site, so I quickly drove a few hundred yards down the road - until I came to a sign, on the edge of a village, called Cwm Llinau - and then I dialled 999, asked for the Police (recorded as 9.24pm) and reported what I had witnessed.

The 999 Police telephone operator was unable to identify my position as Cwm Llinau (was not on her map) so I rolled the car slowly forward, trying to find something giving the location, and within a couple of hundred feet, found a sign for a small caravan park and gave the Police Officer the name and area telephone code and number. The Police Officer told me she would despatch a police car out to the area and check with the RAF, to establish if there were any aircraft in the area.

She kept checking my location and asking details of the incident. Eventually, she came back to me and said that, although there had been a Hercules (a RAF military aircraft) in the area earlier on the evening, there was nothing scheduled there now. I offered to stay in the location to see the Police Officers, but she said it was not necessary. I sat in my car for a short time, to gather my composure. I thought there was going to be a certain crash, one which I may not have survived, and I could only sit and shake with fright, relief and disbelief. As I was driving home, I received a call from the Police. This time it was a different Officer, who checked all the details with me again and asked me to confirm my location (which was now on the border of Machynlleth). He told me no aircraft were reported to be in the area, and no other calls had been received reporting a crash.

The Police Officer told me one of his colleagues lived in that particular valley and they were contacting him. On arriving home in Aberystwyth, I found myself still shaking with fear, and took an hour to regain my composure. That night I contacted the Ministry of Defence (MOD) at RAF Cosford, Shropshire. They advised me there were no aircraft in the area at 9.20pm and they had not received any incident report, although they confirmed there had been a Hercules aircraft in the area, but it had been much earlier in the evening. They also pointed out it was extremely unlikely any aircraft had been flying low that evening, due to recent strong winds. I contacted Air Traffic Control, at Cardiff Airport, who confirmed no aeroplanes had travelled via the Machynlleth area from their airport, seeking to make some sense from it all. I contacted the airport in Welshpool. They, too, confirmed there were no aircraft in the area; indeed, their landing lights had been switched-off earlier in the evening, as they were not expecting any arrivals.

On the Saturday morning I contacted Caernarfon Airfield, in Gwynedd. Again, I was informed they had no knowledge of any aircraft being in that area at the given time, taking into consideration that no flights take-off from there after dark. Later on Saturday, I went to the Police Station to see if anything else had been reported. They seemed only concerned by the fact that no crash had occurred and so there were no injuries or fatalities. They told me the RAF had a Hercules aircraft in the area at the time I reported the incident, completely contradicting what I was told the night before, suggesting it was a Hercules I had seen. It seemed pointless to argue the point, so I left. The wingspan of a Hercules is 132ft 7ins; the aircraft I had seen was less than half that size, at approximately 50ft in total width. The cockpit on a Hercules lies beneath the wingspan, yet on the aircraft I had seen, the cockpit (or what I believe was a cockpit) was above the wingspan.

Although I cannot say what the aircraft was, I cannot claim, with any certainty, it was of alien nature. However, it remains 'unidentified' and was a 'flying object', so I have to refer to it as a UFO. What is worrying is that, despite a clear incident occurring, I have received no contact from the RAF. I can only assume their philosophy is that if it doesn't show on radar, then it doesn't exist - a somewhat worrying viewpoint in these modern times."

In conversations with Colin we learnt of a previous incident, which took place in 1995/1996, when he and his colleague had experienced, while on the way home, after having attended a meeting at the Stockport Paranormal Group.

"This particular night we were travelling from Liverpool to Manchester, along the East Lancashire road, and were intending to purchase some fish and chips before 11.00pm, so kept looking at the time, knowing the place shut at 11.00pm. As we approached a set of traffic lights, which were on red, they changed to green and then straight back to red, out of sequence - then the car stalled. We didn't get it started the fist time, but eventually managed to restart it. The next thing we knew was that it was 11.20pm. Neither of us could understand what had happened to the missing time."
