Event 51155 (A60091A5)

Date: 10/8/1995
Description: (Translated from French) On a television show on TF1, presenter Jacques Pradel interviewed Valery Pavlovitch Bourdakov, a Russian scientist who is a member of both the Space Agency and the Academy of Sciences of his country. When Bourdakov was one of the assistants of engineer Sergueï Korolev, the head of the former USSR’s rocket programs, he made some astonishing confidences: one day in 1948, Joseph Stalin had asked Korolev to come to the Kremlin to study UFO sighting reports collected by spies. After 3 days spent examining all this documentation, Korolev told Stalin that the problem was serious but that it did not threaten the security of the USSR. However, he recommended to closely follow the evolution of the situation. Among the reports, according to Bourdakov, some were related to the Roswell incident on the recovery of an unknown device and others reported dead extraterrestrial bodies that had been discovered on that occasion.

Event 51172 (E1E53A62)

Date: 10/15/1995
Location: CUBA, Torriente
Description: (Translated from French) At 9:30 pm, a turtle-shaped object, surrounded by a blue fire, with two humanoids in conversation nearby. (Banque Ovni, Fichier Central, Bagneux-France, p. 313 1/2) On July 4, 1996, Radio Rebelde in Havana broadcast a special program dedicated to this event. The object landed in Torriente near Playa Giron. A witness, Adolfo Zerata, a farmer, was working in his field when an object shaped like a bell emerged from the clouds and landed in the vegetation. He saw “two little men”, one behind the UFO’s window and the other walking around the object. They seemed to be wearing diving suits. The humanoid who had come out began to pick “malanga”, a kind of potato. With his small arms full of uprooted plants, he re-embarked. The craft was surrounded by white and blue smoke and disappeared into the clouds at very high speed. Zerata called the police who arrived at the scene and collected evidence of the landing. There were footprints of small feet and the foliage at the landing site was all black.

Event 51196 (1A4BE789)

Date: 11/1/1995
Description: Rafael Tapia was returning home on his bicycle in San Pablo de las Nazas, Jalisco, Mexico at 11:50 p.m. and as he got near a neighbor’s house heobserved, not more than 10 meters away, a bizarre creature. At first, because of the darkness Tapia thought it was a dog, but as he passed to within 3 meters of the creature he realized that it was a very short, man-like figure with huge glowing red eyes. The strange figure turned around and stared at him. It then scrambled down a grassy embankment and disappeared from sight. Stunned, Rafael ran to where the creature had gone, and flung a couple of rocks in its direction. Then he reboarded his bicycle and pedalled home. The creature wore a type of tight-fitting, high-collared coverall. Earlier that same day another witness had seen an elongated metallic object that flew at a low altitude and then descended into a field. UFO investigators recorded strange magnetic disturbances in the area. Five days earlier, on October 27, a house under construction in the town burned down as a result of a powerful wave of heat that appeared to come from an unknown in the sky.

Another draft letter shows Rockefeller asked President Clinton to consider a classification review of UAP information.

Ufologist Grant Cameron later says Bill and Hillary Clinton traveled to Laurence Rockefeller’s “ranch” in northwest in 1995 where Rockefeller briefed the Clintons on Project Starlight documents; claims of a UAP coverup by a rogue faction in USG and private industry, etc; Rockefeller told ufologist Whitley Strieber that the next morning, Hillary told him never to bring the subject up again with them.

Description: (Translated from French) Two Chupacabras had already been captured in Porto Rico. One of them was alive, presumably young, by a man who kept it in a cage for 6 days at his home. Upon learning the news, the local police dispatched several agents to the site to verify it. Two hours later, several men arrived in 4 grey 4x4 vehicles and took the creature away in a kind of quarantine box, made of a transparent material, like reinforced plexiglas with a mesh of iron. It was a kind of intervention team composed of agents from the Porto Rican Department of Agriculture and an American federal agency of indeterminate nature. (…) On November 9, Resolution 5012 was taken by the House of Representatives - 12th legislative session to order a thorough investigation into the deaths and mutilations of animals attributed to the Chupacabras.

Description: (Translated from French) In Seine-et-Marne, Commander Jean-Marie Gilman pilots flight Air Inter IT 426: We are coming from Marseille on board an Airbus A300 B2-1C and beginning our descent into Orly. It’s what they call a ‘blue sky storm’, the weather is clear with no clouds! We are descending and at 4900 meters altitude. Control has forbidden us to pass through the military testing zone of Melun-Villaroche, and we know an AWACS plane is flying in the area. Suddenly, from the far reaches of our field of vision, we see a strange craft flying straight towards us, about twice as fast as a commercial airliner. The object looks like a flat rectangular panel, about 12 meters long and 3 meters wide, painted with a red and white ‘V’ running along its length. It has no wings, no tail, no rudder, no cockpit, no air intake, nothing at all. At one point, it seems to tilt 10-20° to avoid us, but it’s possible we were deceived by the perspective. As it passes a little below and to our left, I can make out what looks like 5 or 6 nozzles, all positioned at the back. Then 3 seconds pass before it disappears less than 330 meters below our Airbus. Fortunately, because I don’t think we could have avoided it. I say to my copilot and my navigator mechanic: “Guys… Did we just see the same thing?” We confer, I contact Paris Control and ask them: “Do you have anything on radar that could have crossed us?” They answer: “No, nothing at all for us…”.

At that moment the bedroom curtains lit up brightly and there was a whooshing sound from outside. The husband was eventually able to move and got up to look out the bedroom window. He saw a glowing object on the road, surrounded by a number of men wearing boiler suit coveralls who appeared to be digging up the garden. When they were both able to move they went to check on their daughter and found that she was alright. They then went back to sleep. The next morning there was no evidence of any digging having occurred in their garden.

Description: (Translated from French) The DRM receives Boudier and Gabriel Greslé, then drafts a report examining the implications of the UFO phenomenon in terms of Defense: after a brief history of UFO phenomenology since the end of the 2nd World War, these two specialists addressed the UFO research effort in the USA, in particular: the role, origin, interest and conclusions of the different US government agencies (CIA, NSA, DIA, USAF, Navy, AMC - the first to officially take an interest in the subject) and the different investigative commissions constituted (Sign, Grudge, Twinkle, Robertson, Blue Book, Condon). Initially motivated by the fear that the strange phenomena observed during the war (“foo fighters”, ghost rockets of the Nordic countries, etc.) were the result of Russian technological breakthroughs in the field of aeronautics, these agencies quickly came to the conclusion that this was not the case and have since minimized their involvement in the UFO field as well as any element supporting the ETH of UFOs. Boudier then recalls the French case of GEPAN and then SEPRA. After a point on the means available to GEPAN and on the failure of prospective approaches to various embassies for the deployment of the SPOC project, he noted that the opinion of the scientific council of GEPAN in 1978: some of the testimonies studied relate to objects belonging to flying machines whose origin, mode of sustentation and propulsion are foreign was relativized by studies of psychology of perception and processes of influence. He questioned the “paradoxical regression” GEPAN to SEPRA of 1988 since the work of the latter is limited to the drafting of synthesis notes from the data gleaned by GEPAN.

Date: 12/9/1995
Description: At 7:50 p.m. a man who wishes to remain anonymous reported seeing a brilliant object descend from the sky and appear to enter a nearby man-made lake behind an apartment complex in Hialeah Gardens, Florida. Armed with his flashlight, he approached the site and saw two beings swimming in the water. They had large heads and bright luminous eyes that appeared to be blinking. The witness briefly illuminated the creatures with the flashlight, and reported that their eyes seemed to flare up. He quickly ran away and called the police. It is not known if the police found anything.

Description: 2:30 p.m. Farmer Egon Kratz and his son-in-law, Adilson Marcílio, are working on their Bela Vista Farm off Highway 227 about 5 miles from Ituporanga, Santa Catarina, Brazil, when a bright, silent, disc-shaped object appears low above some nearby trees, moves swiftly about 30 feet from the ground, and disappears into a valley. On December 15, Marcílio and some friends return to look for traces and find much of the vegetation scorched. Technicians from the Federal University of Santa Catarina arrive on December 20 to collect soil samples and rocks. Kratz notes in January that much of the foliage and vegetation where the UFO has passed is dead or defoliated.

Description: Madeline Tolentino was driving with her 2-year-old son in her Isuzu Trooper in Campo Rico, Puerto Rico with the windows rolled down. They were driving on Route 185 near a horse track called El Comandante at seven p.m. when she smelled something pungent, like sulfur, which irritated her throat. She kept driving and suddenly saw a creature with glowing red eyes. It ran across the road in front of her SUV and disappeared. Frightened, she returned home to tell her husband. He went back to the area and noticed the pungent odor but did not see the creature.

Description: Oralina Augusta de Freitas is watching TV in her home near Varginha, Minas Gerais, Brazil, when she sees a UFO hovering over the cattle, which are agitated. She calls her husband, Eurico Rodrigues, and they watch the object, which is the size of a microbus and the shape of a submarine. For 40 minutes the object flies less than 20 feet above the ground, heading toward town. The object has a hole in its structure through which white smoke is billowing. Pieces of its fuselage sway in the wind.

Event 51315 (BAEE951C)

Date: 1/13/1996
Locations: Très Coracões; Varginha, Minas Gerais, Brazil; Highway 491
Description: 4:00 a.m. Businessman and pilot Carlos de Souza is driving from Très Coracões to Varginha, Minas Gerais, Brazil, along Highway 491. About 3 miles from Varginha, he hears a sound like an engine rumbling, so he stops by the side of the road and gets out of his vehicle. He sees a cylindrical airship 33–40 feet long and 13–16 feet in diameter flying about 395 feet above him toward Varginha. It is metallic, polished, and reflects the morning sunlight. He notices a hole in the right side of the ship and white smoke pouring out. After it crosses the highway, de Souza gets into his car and starts chasing it. When it crashes into the woods, he finds a dirt road that leads him to the scene, which is covered with debris that looks like tinfoil. He picks up a larger piece that is thin and light. When he kneads it, he is amazed to see that it returns to its original state. Further away, he sees an Army helicopter, two tarpaulins, an ambulance, and three cars. He smells a powerful ammonia odor and is startled by a military police officer who approaches him and shouts, “Go away, you saw nothing.” Two more soldiers appear and force him to leave, so he returns to his car, drives away, and stops at a restaurant. A man approaches him and asks if he is Carlos de Souza, He replies yes, and the man calls him over and says, “What you saw, I saw too. You should not talk to anyone about it.” The man then relates details about de Souza’s private life. Meanwhile, two soldiers from the Escola de Sargentos das Armas in Très Coracões contact ufologists Ubirajara Franco Rodrigues and Claudeir Covo about the incident to tell them that the area has been cordoned off and that trucks are loading odd material. There are rumors that NORAD has alerted the Brazilian authorities that it has tracked a large number of UFOs over the western hemisphere and that one has penetrated Brazilian airspace.

Event 51316 (D23B6554)

Date: 1/14/1996
Location: Great Britain, Welley-Wigan
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. Dennis Porter was walking his dog around 9:45 PM and strolling along the path alongside the Leeds-Liverpool canal, walking in the direction of Red Rock. When he reached the small bridge that crossed the canal, the witness stopped to light a cigarette. At that moment he received a blast of cold air so strong that he stumbled. Looking up, he then saw an object triangular in shape, about 10 meters in width, silently passing overhead before accelerating and disappearing at a dizzying speed towards Wigan. He described the triangle as perfectly equilateral, with what looked like an overheated wheel protruding from its belly, which otherwise had the appearance of matte aluminum. (January 14, 1996)

Event 51327 (7504087B)

Date: 1/20/1996
Location: Brazil, Jardim Andere (Varginha)
Description: (Translated from French) The most spectacular encounter took place in Brazil in Jardim Andere, a suburb of the city of Varginha. On Saturday, January 20, 1996, the Varginha firemen were called at 8 o’clock in the morning, because a mysterious creature was in the park. The firemen are used to having to evacuate wild animals that have come out of the forests and are lost even in the suburbs. They went to the place with a cage and were amazed to see a creature like they had never seen before. It measured about 1.20m, had red-blood eyes, olive-colored skin, three long bumps on the head and made a buzzing sound. Four firemen managed to catch it with some difficulty, called the army and closed off access to the park. The creature was loaded into a wooden box and a truck from the army took it away. That same day, at 3:30 pm, three young girls returning from work saw a strange creature against the facade of a house. Believing they had seen the devil, they ran away screaming. In the following minutes, dozens of people gathered in the street and some children threw stones at the creature. The firemen and the military arrived in turn to catch the being in a net. These two creatures would die quickly but there were no details about their remains. Within 24 hours, UFO investigators were on the scene. They questioned dozens of shocked witnesses (military, doctors, firemen) and were so impressed that they called for a congress in Curitiba in June, dedicated entirely to the incident. (Jan HERTOGHS “Humo” of 24.9.96, p. 47) (note from vog: Brazilian investigators correct this report as follows:) At 8 o’clock the firemen are called for “a strange animal” in the park. They arrive around 10 o’clock and find a group of children throwing stones at the “animal”. Three adults observe the capture of this being by 4 firemen. At 10:30 the creature is caught without resistance in a net, put in a box which is covered with a tarp. An ESA (Exército) van takes this package in charge and heads towards Três Coraçoes. The fire truck returns to the Varginha district.

At 3:30 pm Liliane, Valquiria and Katia (22, 16 and 14 years old) see in the Rua Benevenuto Bràs Vieira, near number 76 a strange creature, less than 7 m away from them. They flee screaming and crying. At 4:10 pm the mother of Katia and Valquiria goes to the meeting place. There is no more creature but there is a very strong smell, unidentifiable, at the place. At 6 pm there is a hail storm over Varginha. The electricity is completely disrupted, trees are uprooted. At 8 pm the military police capture the second creature (note from vog: it is not specified where). The creature is sent for care to the hospital where admission is refused “since it is not human”. It will finally be delivered to the Regional Hospital. This is followed by a back and forth of officials. In the night, around 2 o’clock in the morning, the creature is transferred to the Humanitas university hospital, under good military escort. At 9 o’clock on January 22 the dead creature is made available to the ESA. It will only be taken away in the night of January 23, at 4 o’clock and it will be deposited at the military school. The next day (January 24) Doctor Fortunato Badan Palhares (who identified the funeral remains of Mengele) performs an autopsy on the creature in Campinas. (…) There are 48 witnesses at the various stages of the events. Among them the military: Sergeant Pedrosa, Corporal Vassalo, Soldier De Melo, Sergeant Cirilo, Captain Ramires, Lieutenant Colonel Olimpio Vanderlei, Commissioner Tibério.

These two creatures differ from the earlier one and have black hair. Immediately afterward, soldiers come out of the woods carrying the creatures in two black sacks. Something is moving in one of them.

At first they think it is a statue, but then it turns its head and they think it is a devil. They run home and call their mother, Luzia Helena da Silva, but when they return to the vacant lot, all they find is two footprints and an awful stench.

Event 51336 (890788F3)

Date: 1/20/1996
Description: Hildo Lucio Galindo of Jardim Andere, Varginha, Brazil opened his bathroom window at eight o’clock in the morning and caught sight of a short creature with oily brown skin, crouched in a nearby alleyway. It had very small hands with three exceptionally long fingers. It ran away when Hildo cried out. The creature had no hair or clothing and was between four and five feet tall. Later that morning several calls came into the local fire department about a “wild animal” on the loose on the north side of the park. When the fire department arrived they found the military was already on the scene. According to some witnesses a group of children had thrown stones at the strange creature and it made a soft buzzing sound, like a bee. The creature was reported to have been captured by the military and put in a wooden box with a white plastic or canvas cover, and driven away in an Army truck.

Around the same time local residents heard three shots and saw soldiers come out of the woods carrying two campaign sacks. One sack held something motionless, and the other contained something living. Sources said that the soldiers had shot a creature in the chest, killing it instantly. Others saw Army trucks near the woods while still others saw two F-5 jet aircraft fly over the area at low altitude.

Reportedly, a total of eight creatures were reported to have been captured that day. One was dead, two were injured, and five were supposedly taken alive and unhurt. Earlier that same morning, at 1:30 a.m., two farm workers in the same general area had spotted a group of agitated animals running from the area. Upon investigating they saw a metallic gray submarine-shaped object hovering some five meters above the ground. It looked to be trembling like a curtain, and was emitting a smoke or fog. Military witnesses later admitted that this was the object that had later crashed.

Cont: In the afternoon at around one p.m. three girls were walking past a plot of vacant land when they spotted another bizarre looking creature. It was only about 80 cm tall, and had brown skin, bulging red eyes, bulging veins, enormous feet, and three protruding lumps on its head. The being was unclothed and its body seemed covered with an oily substance. The girls panicked and ran away to tell others. Soon units of the local fire department arrived and apparently took the creature away. The residents learned of the rumor that a similar creature had been captured earlier. The small creature emitted a strange buzzing like sound. Others saw strange cigar-shaped objects flying low over a field. It was rumored that the military later took the creature to the nearby city of Campinas, Brazil.

Event 51353 (C7B27707)

Date: 1/27/1996
Location: Mexico, Vera Cruz
Description: (Translated from French) Around 10 pm a gigantic rectangular UFO was observed by hundreds of people, during a thunderstorm. The object was approaching the city, coming from the northeast. Before seeing the object, the witnesses saw two huge flashes of light. One of the witnesses, the Texas farmer Pedro Alaniz had a 20/20 vision of the phenomenon. He was on Camino (route 180) driving south towards Alvaredo, when he saw the UFO. He was able to give a detailed description. It was flying from northeast to southwest at about 200 miles/hour. It measured about 90 m long and had bright white lights on its belly, going from the front to the back. The tail took up 1/3 of the total length and had 5 appendages shaped like “fingers”. Near the tail, on the left side, there was a pale blue light. The object was heading towards Cosamaloapan and was filmed by dozens of amateur camcorders.

Event 51368 (889B8295)

Date: 1/30/1996
Location: Space, Saturn
Description: (Translated from French) (Note from vog: Excellent hoax to sell a book or to misinform?) During an Alan Handleman radio show, Dr. Norman R. Bergrun (“The Ring-makers of Saturn” re-edited in 1986 by Pentland Press) claimed that a large UFO in the shape of a cigar had been photographed in orbital phase around the rings of Saturn. He said that judging by the photographs, the vessel appeared so huge that it could contain an entire civilization. It would be an electromagnetic vehicle. Dr. Bergrun specified that NASA had not reported this observation under the Space Act of 1958, stipulating that the public should only be informed of facts concerning space if they are qualified as non-hostile. A craft of this size would surely be classified as hostile. (…) Three immense vessels assembled of 13 units whose diameter is equivalent to that of the Earth (UECDDS: report Jan. to April 1977, several unnumbered pages) New detection of rings, satellites with capricious behavior, appearance and disappearance of objects: the harvest of observations collected during the last passage of the Earth in the plane of the rings of Saturn, August 10, 1996, brings a new vision of these amazing structures. (…) The overall brightness of the rings seen in the slice would be dominated by the brightness of the outer ring F, whose thickness is estimated at 1.5 km. (…) Of the eleven small known satellites, two were not present: one, “Pan” which orbits inside the main rings, was not identified, the other, Prometheus, accumulated an unexplained delay of nearly 50 minutes compared to its ephemeris. (…) About a dozen new objects were detected in the vicinity of ring F. (…) It seems that we are witnessing an incessant carousel on a scale of a few months at most, of formation and destruction of bodies in ring F, at the limit of the so-called “Roche” zone. This zone corresponds to the place where tidal forces due to the planet tend to destroy the satellites in formation, roughly balancing the gravitational forces between the particles which, in turn, tend to accrete the material into small moons. (…) If all goes as planned, the European-American probe Cassini / Huygens will leave in October 1997 for Saturn which it will reach in 2004 for a 4-year stay

Event 51370 (9CD6CD3E)

Date: 1/31/1996
Description: Near Romatambo, a remote mountain village in Ancash province, Peru at eight o’clock in the morning, several Quechua Indian shepherds tending their flocks watched six objects fly over the area. According to one of the witnesses, Silvia Bedoya, age 40, the objects apparently emerged from nearby Lake Cococha. The objects formed what seemed like a protective circle around a larger cigar-shaped, mother-ship style object. The flight of the objects illuminated the whole valley in an eerie deep purple light. The “mother ship” landed upriver from the village. Soon two occupants emerged from the object. These were described as about a meter tall with large oversized heads, long spindly arms and short bandy legs. They wore gunmetal gray helmets and matching one-piece coveralls. The humanoids took out transparent containers and, ignoring the shepherds, collected many samples, including soil, grass, alpine weeds, and water from the nearby river. Soon the UFOnauts re-entered the large object and all the objects shot away into space at high speed.

Event 51385 (367DD886)

Date: 2/6/1996
Description: At around 7:30 p.m. farmer Louis Boisvert, 19, saw a very large metallic triangular craft with a set of red lights hovering over his barn in Thurso, Quebec while he was plowing snow with his tractor. This was on the same night that witnesses saw a large triangular vessel hovering over the town of Buckingham, Quebec. The craft flew very slowly over the barn. The light coming from the triangle did not illuminate the ground or even the roof of the barn. After the craft left Boisvert and his father noticed that their electric water pump was not working. Troubled by recurrent dreams, Boisvert underwent hypnotic regression. He was then able to remember that he had hopped off the tractor and ran to the barn where his father was working. As he rushed into the barn, he saw his father standing there with a blank expression on his face. Besides him stood two reptilian looking creatures with long faces, scaly leathery skin, black eyes, clawed hands, and gaunt arms and legs. Both Boisvert and his father were taken onboard the triangular object by the humanoids and later released.

From the verandah she saw the source of light to be a bright long elliptical shape about 50cm away in the paddock. There was a brilliant bluish white light and a metallic smell you could almost taste. Standing in the garden was a tall thin figure over two meters tall. The figure beckoned the witness with its left hand. She walked down the verandah steps then suddenly became alarmed and returned back home. She threw some furniture outside, and then everything went dark.

Event 51406 (7A5FFAE3)

Date: 2/15/1996
Location: Dr. Cesário Lincoln Furtado
Description: Chereze wakes up very tired and in a state or torpor, with signs of cyanosis. He is transferred to intensive care, where his condition deteriorates rapidly. Chereze dies at 11:00 a.m. An autopsy confirms septicemia caused by a urinary infection, but the cause of death is unclear, according to Dr. Cesário Lincoln Furtado, who says it is highly unusual for a young man to quickly acquire an immunodeficiency followed by an attack of three kinds of virulent bacteria. Doctors order his body to be cremated immediately, but his family will not allow it. The death certificate gives the cause of death as acute respiratory failure, sepsis, and pneumonia. The family begins a legal challenge to have the records released.

Event 51418 (B1B2BE0E)

Date: 2/23/1996
Description: At ten o’clock in the evening Irasema Margarita Cuevas and others in her household in Nuevo Centro, Abasolo, Tamaulipas, Mexico heard their dogs barking outside and went to investigate. Outside they saw a red-orange dome-shaped craft floating a few feet from the ground, near some nearby trees about 50 meters away. Soon a small humanoid emerged from the craft, about one meter in height. It began floating up and down in peculiar movements. From a belt around its waist a bluish beam of light emerged. The being appeared robotic in nature, somewhat resembling a “Power Ranger.” After a few minutes the being re-entered the object, which rose up to join a similar craft. They both then flew towards the nearby swamps. Several witnesses then followed the objects and were able to see a brilliant light emerge from behind some trees and a huge column of gray smoke. Upon seeing this, the head of the household, Guillermo Serna Marquez, told his family to return to the house and went into the woods to investigate alone, on the way there he ran into a farmhand who accompanied him into the woods. They saw a luminous craft fly over the trees in the direction of the swamp, then a two meter tall humanoid appeared, floating above the trees and accompanied by the small robotic entity. They watched the beings float around and then enter the dome shaped object. After awhile they grew tired of watching and went home. The next day a large section of the ground was scorched in three enormous circles. Strange purplish-white, foam-like substance was also found at the site. Numerous other strange incidents were reported in subsequent days: small flying red spheres, more animal mutilations, and a large orange sphere that followed some of the UFO field investigators late one night.

Event 51431 (611716F8)

Date: 2/29/1996
Description: On March 2nd at 6:30 a.m. police in Cuscatancingo, El Salvador found a 17-year-old boy wandering confused along the shore of Ilopango Lake. Under interrogation he related a bizarre story of being abducted around 10 p.m. on February 29th. During the night he had been walking towards his home during a local power black-out. Suddenly there was a bright flash of blue light behind him. Thinking that it was the police he turned around slowly. His next memory was of being inside a completely white room, where he could not distinguish any walls or furniture of any kind. He realized he was lying prone and unable to move, in some sort of bed. He noticed numerous “cables” that appeared to be connected to his chest area, and on his right arm he had attached what resembled an IV machine. He then saw several humanoids about 1.2 meters (four feet) in height. They had very large heads, huge eyes and in the forehead he could see what appeared to be another “protuberance” resembling a third eye. They also had sparse beards around the mouth and chin. In a state of confusion he noticed other humans in the room but could not tell if they were also prisoners. He remembered seeing a horrifying scene in which he saw several of the humanoids were operating on a woman, seemingly cutting her in half. Then they took the upper torso of the human female and somehow attached it to a “hump-like” area of a female humanoid that had been prepared on another bed. The humanoids wore white tunics which they had a strange insignia over the right breast. He was later taken to the shores of Lake Ilopango where the beings told him that their race “was in a state of war and could not reproduce in their original normal manner.” He then had the sensation of falling towards the lake. This part was very confusing and could not be remembered in detail. Several unusual scars were found on the witness’s body.

Event 51452 (BEB9FF94)

Date: 3/6/1996
Description: Two adults reported seeing strange lights in Casino, New South Wales, Australia at three a.m. They then experienced a period of missing time. An abduction scenario emerged under hypnosis. The witnesses recalled being paralyzed inside their vehicle and seeing two humanoids, described as tall, gray in color, with small ears, large black eyes, two dots for a nose, a small mouth, with no lips, that entered their vehicle, undid their seat belts, and then carried them outside the car. Two shorter humanoids arrived and carried the children from the back seat of the vehicle. The abductees were apparently taken onboard a UFO, where inside they were given some form of medical examination.One of the witnesses recalled a tall gray humanoid using something resembling a silver staple gun that was pressed against her neck. Another witness remembered flying inside an object and seeing tall buildings with domed ceilings that had strange patterns of top. The witnesses reported another type of humanoid described as tall with a wrinkled appearance. This being inserted some type of rod-like instrument into their eyes. Unusual physiological aftereffects were noted.

Event 51459 (398CC440)

Date: 3/7/1996
Description: At shortly after midnight 38-year-old Jose Manuel Castro Gonzalo in Ferreiras, Lugo, Spain was getting ready to retire for the night and glanced out the window to take one last look at the fields. Immediately he noticed a small orange sphere, encased in a multi-colored glow, hovering over a nearby hill. He decided to go out and look at the strange spectacle. At the same time he summoned his brother Cesareo. Jose Manuel then took out a small flashlight and began signaling the object; at the same time yelling “come down, come down!” Suddenly the sphere descended at a very high speed to treetop level. Jose Manuel ran upstairs to an outside terrace where he could see the sphere better. Inside the transparent sphere he could see five very tall men. They appeared to be floating around as the sphere slowly rotated and emitted a low humming sound. Moments later a shaft of “coherent” light appeared under the sphere; it reached the ground right below the sphere. Soon after, three small humanoids descended to the ground via the shaft of light. These beings seemed to move in slow motion. Once on the ground the three formed a line, grabbing each other’s shoulders, not unlike a “Conga” line dance. Using quick jumping motions they began moving towards the witness. Frightened, he jumped into bed and hid under the covers until dawn. The next day strange footprints were found at the spot where the small humanoids had been jumping around.

They call a photographer, to whom they ask to take a series of shots of the fragment. Local television and newspaper chains are summoned for a press conference. The event was covered by television channels 7, ABC Albertkurky, and the Roswell newspaper.

Event 51516 (FDCCE52E)

Date: 4/15/1996
Description: Two police officers were conducting their nightly rounds late at night driving on the outskirts of Gerona, Spain when a powerful light crossed in front of them on the highway. One man felt mesmerized by the brilliant outburst of light, while his partner tried to keep hold of the patrol car’s steering wheel. When the light extinguished the mesmerized officer told his companion that he felt a very odd sensation of being pulled upward at the same time that he saw two pairs of moist, black oval shaped eyes staring down at him from large, pear-shaped heads. The police officer had not even been able to comprehend the uncanny experience when the bizarre light staged a return. According to the officers, nine lights identical to the first appeared out of nowhere, and were then joined by three more that came from across the Portuguese border. The twelve lights were elongated and had an intense yellow glow. The lights remained suspended some 100 feet above the highway, prompting the police officers to flee the scene in terror.

On page 114 of the document, an “airborne holographic projector” is described that displays a three dimensional visual image in a desired location; the example given is a false projection of a stealth fighter. The description of the technology states it can be used for psychological operations and strategic perception management, with additional functions being optical deception, cloaking and providing a momentary distraction when engaging an unsophisticated adversary.

Sr. Barbosa decided to go out to investigate, and he saw a large white cloud descend slowly into the woods. From within the cloud a luminous, disc-shaped object emerged. It was about 8 meters in diameter, and had a revolving light on top that resembled that on a police car. It also had two or three bright lit windows. Inside one of these he was able to see several figures moving around. The object descended and landed briefly, becoming dark, and then bright again. Before it landed both witnesses saw an L-shaped ramp that had come out from the bottom of the object. At the object became bright again, it quickly took off a high speed.

The whole affair was kept secret by the Dublin government. Rorty Thornton is a kind of seer who runs a mental health clinic (sic!) in Newcastle, Galway. The extraterrestrials would have missed their shot, hitting the treetops and crashing into the waters of the lake. The whole region was surrounded by the police and there were at least six Americans driving around in jeeps (note from vog: that many?) According to the locals, something did happen in the night, but they think it had much more to do with NATO than with extraterrestrials. (1996, late May)

Event 51572 (69AD2B66)

Date: 6/4/1996
Description: Several people were staying at a country home in rural Apache County, Arizona. They were sitting around the kitchen table at 10:30 p.m. when two of them saw a bright UFO streak by, apparently crashing in the distance. They all lept into a jeep and raced off in search for the crashed object. They crossed State Highway 61, drove along an old cattle trail, and soon came upon an elderly couple standing next to their parked van on the road side; both were staring off into the countryside. They asked them if they had seen a UFO crash, and were told by them that they were also trying to find it. The elderly couple had been driving west on Highway 61 toward Show Low when they saw the object streak by and appear to crash. They all then drove on to the apparent crash site. This area had only a few trees, scattered cedar and junipers, and a lot of rocks and canyons. After driving for about an hour they came to a very deep canyon and could drive no further. Deep in the canyon was the crashed UFO. It was an oblong, egg shaped object, about the size of a barn. Its color was strange–it was described as the color of skin with a fading tan, and it faintly glowed. The glow was sufficiently bright enough to illuminate the bottom of the canyon. There were two “pillars” at the front of the object. These pillars may have been posted on either side of a door, although a doorway was not visible. The witnesses also claimed they saw a helicopter at the scene, and a black pick-up truck. They were baffled as to how the truck could have gotten down into the remote canyon so quickly, unless there was some road they did not know about. They watched the scene for awhile, then left.

He stopped his car and got out to investigate. As he approached he saw a large object on the ground next to some trees. Suddenly he became paralyzed and unable to move. Beside the object were two short beings with large heads and long arms. They wore helmets and tight fitting silvery uniforms. The two humanoids appeared to be collecting soil samples from the ground. After a few moments, they conversed among themselves in an unknown language, then boarded the object, which quickly took off at high speed. Cesar was unable to move for the next five minutes. Afterwards he felt very tired and sleepy for 2 to 3 days.

Description: Day. Spasso Maximovitch notices an unusual object in the western sky over Rosh HaAyin in central Israel. He grabs his video camera to film it, just as a glowing white oval-shaped object appears some 20° west of the object and streaks toward it at high speed. Within 3 seconds it strikes the stationary orb, causing a huge explosion in the sky that seemingly destroys both objects. Stunned, Maximovitch stops filming immediately after capturing the explosion.

Event 51590 (0A60F744)

Date: 6/25/1996
Location: LITHUANIA, Nemejis
Description: (Translated from French) A UFO was observed around midnight (at 4:55 AM), on the road from Vilnius to Miadininkaï, 10 km from the capital, for half an hour by two police officers who alerted the entire Lithuanian police. The object, round, luminous, shaken by pulsations, was stationary 20 to 30 meters above the ground. (It was equipped with red and yellow lights that lit up and went out intermittently). “At the same time a strange noise similar to an electrical or electronic crackling was heard,” they specified. The police officers, (including chief Anatoly Dobrynin) after observing it for half an hour, approached it. (This object was sending a beam of green light towards the ground from time to time). When they arrived at about 50 meters, the object began to move, rose into the air, then quickly moved away in the direction of Vilnius. (It was then 6:35 AM: the observation had lasted about 100 minutes) Trucks full of soldiers from the rapid reaction forces and police dogs went to the site, but arrived after the UFO had left. The police studied the terrain, measured the radiation, recorded the noise on a tape recorder that could still be heard after the UFO had disappeared. The dogs, calm, detected nothing. The tall grass, above which the object was located, was withered on a perimeter of 10 meters. (The Midi Libre of June 30, 1996) For the information added in parentheses: (1996, June 25-26 (July 23))

Description: Day. A private pilot is flying his Piper Cherokee PA-28-140 from Waterville, Nova Scotia, to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, at 3,500 feet. While over Cape Blomidon, Nova Scotia, the pilot’s father-in-law (next to him in the right seat) spots a chrome-colored sphere 60 feet in diameter about 2 miles away and traveling at the same speed as the aircraft but about 500 feet lower. The pilot banks gently in its direction, and the sphere speedily darts toward Springhill, Nova Scotia, 20 miles away, and hovers there as a bright dot, then disappears. The pilot is distressed about the encounter and is distracted for the rest of the flight.

Event 51602 (C6E99A56)

Date: 7/8/1996
Description: Police sergeant Marian Mancu and volunteer police officer Marcel Rusu were walking on patrol on the main road that passes in front of the police station in the village of Certesti, Romania at around midnight. Mancu lives in the area and told Rusu he was going to walk home to get something to eat. Between the road and the sidewalk was a deep ditch with small foot bridges across the culvert. When the sergeant passed the corner near his house he heard a whistling sound from the street and felt a rush of air. He turned around immediately and saw something on the road that “was splashed with blue and red lights” and made a “voom-voom” sound. Mancu first thought it was the district police car that was coming back from a routine patrol, but getting closer he realized the object was hovering half a meter above the paved road. There was also a small strange looking figure moving around it. He yelled for Rusu, who was now hiding behind the ditch and watching the strange spectacle from their.

Rusu reported that immediately after Mancu had left and gone behind a nearby apartment house, “a fluttering from above appeared”. The neon lighting in the street seemed to change in intensity. The object descended slowly, without noise, and came down behind him. Rusu became frightened when he saw the object hovering above the ground, with three small human-like creatures were moving around it. Both witnesses agreed that the object had the form of a flat hut, five or six meters across and two or 2.5 meters high, and it was balancing about half a meter from the ground. Around the periphery of the object was a continuous girdle of light “like a rainbow.” The colors changed from red to blue and flared in intensity. On the bottom of the object was a bright white light. Neither of the witnesses saw any doors, portholes, or other similar features. After about two minutes, the UFO rose vertically. At the moment it moved up to an altitude of about 30 meters its lights became much brighter, and the neon streetlights went out. It then shot off to the east at high speed. Rusu reportedly had a better view of the humanoid creatures than Mancu, who only noticed one of them from behind. He estimated their height to have been around a meter or less. Rusu said he heard some noises made by the humanoids, sounding like “rain in a drain pipe.” Both described the creatures as ugly; they had large heads, very elongated behind and covered with bumps, with no hair, and large ears. Their faces were white and they had big eyes. Gray metallic shiny scales, resembling fish scales, covered their bodies. They also had large, limp protruding bellies. They also had thin spindly arms, and no noses or mouths were visible. The witnesses thought that the creatures floated just above the ground and moved around “as if they were drunk.” A huge sweet cherry tree nearby had around 15 % of its leaves shriveled as if by extreme heat. Other witnesses in nearby villages reported strange lights over the area the same night.

Three small people with elongated heads, white faces, big eyes, and scaly bodies are moving around inside it. The object is top-shaped, 15–20 feet across and 8 feet tall, and has a girdle of lights around the edge like a rainbow. After 2 minutes it rises vertically, its lights become brighter, and nearby streetlights go out. It turns northwest and departs with tremendous speed. Other residents of the town witness unusual light phenomena.

The witness had gone out on his balcony around midnight to smoke a cigarette when he saw a triangular-shaped, luminous object slowly land in the field. The witness rushed to grab a camcorder to film the phenomenon, but his batteries had run out. (…) In the field, an investigation revealed a triangular trace on the ground, made up of circular holes 10 cm deep located precisely 1.70 m apart. Burned grass was discovered at the center of the trace. The witness said that the object took off after a few minutes, then quickly disappeared while emitting a 300 m long trail of flames and a deep rumble resembling thunder.

Description: (Translated from French) At five o’clock in the morning, the camcorder of the couple David Remiro and Ana Pilar Muñecas was recording a sequence of what they called a “UFO like the one from the other day”. The images were transmitted by a regional Aragonese television transmitter. During my interview with the witnesses we agreed that if they saw the same UFO they could call me. I didn’t expect them to do it, and even less at five o’clock in the morning. But three days later they called me: the UFO was there. I went to the place. Result: their lack of astronomical knowledge had made them take the planet Venus for a UFO.

Event 51611 (7FD5988D)

Date: 7/16/1996
Location: Spain, Los Villares (Jaén)
Description: (Translated from French) A countryman, Dionisio A., had a daytime encounter with three beings that seemed to not belong to our world. Although he received us amiably, this 66-year-old man was still in shock, suspicious of us, and only wanted to say “just what was necessary”. Several times during the interview he interjected with the statement: “I will never pass by here again, never again.” The place was one kilometer from the village. Dionisio said: "Since I’m retired, I walk a lot in the countryside. I came almost every day here around noon. There is this stone on which I sit to rest. When I arrived here, I saw a device next to the electric pylon. There was an unbearable smell, like when burning used oil. I thought it was an ICONA container. But it wasn’t. The object was made of a very shiny metal, transparent like crystal, and there were four black crystal hatches. It wasn’t on the ground, but suspended 30 cm from the ground. It was like a bell three meters wide and 1.5 meters high but in the shape of a half moon. On one side there was a symbol like a “yoyo”. And then I also saw this surprising thing: two dark cables came out of the back and joined the high voltage line above. " At that moment Dionisio’s heart began to beat violently, because he saw three motionless beings, like statues. Where did they come from, he doesn’t know. They measured about 1.7 meters. There were two men and a woman, wearing clothes so close to the body that at first he thought they were naked and had painted themselves a silver color on the skin. Their tight-fitting clothes reflected the sunlight. They were of Asian type with high cheekbones, very pale, with slanted eyes. They had large hands with five well-defined fingers. They wore boots of the same color as the outfit. There was no expression on their faces and that’s what made Dionisio even more uncomfortable. "Suddenly I received a great blow in the chest that made me lower my eyes. When I looked up again, the woman was pointing to one of the companions further back. They had small mouths without lips, like a line. When speaking they did not open their mouths. I did not hear their voice with my ears, but inside my head. Then I felt bad. When I became aware again of the bad smell of burned fuel accompanied by a buzzing, I looked up: there was nothing here, no device, no men, nothing. " Since the encounter Dionisio has been going badly: he is always tired, he does not eat anymore and he is afraid “they” will come back to take him away. The next day the son went to the site and found traces. Two weeks later they were still visible: four cylindrical holes 9.5 cm in diameter and 1.5 cm deep, forming the corners of a perfect square of one meter. No vegetation was burned, but folded and bent as if it had suffered a great weight, despite the fact that Dionisio said that the device was 30 cm from the ground ©Midwar Flash-Net 1993-1998, All Rights Reserved.

Event 51614 (C007E73C)

Date: 7/16/1996
Description: A 66-year-old retired farmer named Dionisio was walking through a field around noon in Los Villares, Jaen, Spain. He had just sat down on a rock next to a tree to rest when he noticed a very strong and pungent odor in the air and heard a low humming sound. He next noticed an object hovering near the ground next to some nearby power lines. The craft was shaped like a dome and was a shiny metallic color. It had several black glassy oval shaped windows. It was about three meters in length and a meter and a half in height. On one side he noticed some inscriptions, part of which resembled “IOIO.” From the top of the object there were also some cables that were apparently connected to the nearby power lines.

Dionisio also noticed a curious fact. If he moved back about three meters he could no longer see the object, but when he moved forward again he was again able to see it. Suddenly he saw three figures standing next to the object. Two were men and one was a woman, and they stood about six feet tall. They were wearing tight fitting, one-piece silvery outfits. Their faces were Asian in appearance, with high cheekbones, very pale skin, and slanted eyes. They had large hands with five long, well defined fingers and their mouths were slit-like. They also wore silvery boots. Suddenly he felt something strike his chest, and glancing up he noticed that the woman was signaling him, and one of the men was kneeling down next to the craft. He began hearing voices in his head. Frightened, he tried to hide behind some rocks, and then heard the humming sound and smelled the pungent odor again. When he emerged from behind the rocks he noticed that the humanoids and the object were gone. Investigators found ground traces at the site. A mysterious looking rock was also found at the site. During the same time others in the region saw low flying lights and objects.

Event 51615 (09362BE0)

Date: 7/17/1996
Description: (Translated from French) The Boeing 747 of TWA Flight 800 crashes with its 230 passengers. Three official hypotheses will be evoked: a failure of the aircraft, a bomb, and a missile from the army. A fourth unofficial hypothesis is the voluntary or involuntary collision with a UFO: according to an international official, we could be dealing with a collision with an unknown type of engine to this day. This would explain the embarrassment of the US administration and the blocking of the investigation. (July 17th)

Event 51619 (2849710F)

Date: 7/22/1996
Description: In Vicenza, Italy at 10:30 p.m. two local youngsters reported that they first noticed a total lack of animal noises while camping outside on the grassy slopes of Monte Berici, then everything became abnormally quiet. Soon they heard a kind of modulated, scraping metallic sound. Next they heard the sound of something moving in the forest, and when they looked in the direction of the sound they noticed two dark gleaming eyes staring at them. The girl became frightened and covered herself with a blanket, while the boy saw what appeared to be a large form, like a white-silvery blanket approach from the nearby hill. It was a meter in height and approached to within half a meter of the girl, looking down on her with two big red metallic eyes. In an attempt to protect her, the boy jumped up in front of the girl. At that point the robot-like creature seemed to shrink in upon itself then vanished into the woods. Others in the area reported hearing loud noises resembling a helicopter coming from the woods.

Event 51628 (367ECD14)

Date: 8/7/1996
Description: NASA holds a press conference declaring “Life on Mars,” stating that rock 84001 shows biological signs of past life. NASA Administrator Daniel Goldin states “It’s an unbelievable day…if this discovery is confirmed, it will surely be one of the most stunning insights into our universe that science has ever uncovered.” Confirmation of 84001 never came, however, and the issue was dropped. Over the following decades, Goldin appeared in several public media programs discussing the possibility of alien life.

Goldin was appointed NASA Administrator on 1 April 992 by President George HW Bush and prior to that, Goldin worked at the Space and Technology Group of TRW for 25 years in Redondo Beach, CA; at TRW STG, Goldin managed advanced projects, some subject to Special Access Program security measures. STG, for example, worked with Hughes Aircraft as the prime contractors for the MILSTAR Program, a global, secure, nuclear-survivable space-based communication system.

Event 51641 (C8162149)

Location: Argentina, Chubut, La Pampa, Rio Negro, San Juan, Cordoba, Catamarca
Description: (Translated from French) Many witnesses in these locations were able to observe, at a few minutes interval, around 8:45 PM, a phenomenon that stirred up the population and authorities. It first appeared as an enormous luminous sphere slowly crossing the sky, emitting a wavering light. Then it changed into a diffuse ring of light that increased in intensity as it approached the cities it flew over. Following a trajectory from south to north, it was responsible for various anomalies, such as an electrical power outage in Comodoro during its passage. An agriculturist from Guatrache told the press that he had seen the UFO escorting the vehicle he was in for about fifteen minutes, and that he had clearly distinguished protuberances resembling feet, as if it wanted to land. The phenomenon quietly disappeared. (Phenomena #33, p. 25) IN REALITY: the observation around 9 PM and for a duration of about twenty minutes, throughout South America and Chile, refers to the Russian Molniya telecommunications satellite, stage 3, being put into orbit

It was a 200 m diameter disc, probably shot down by air-to-air missiles. The region was surrounded by the military, and the search was supported by helicopters for several days. The population said it was a large triangular object and dozens of hermetically sealed nylon bags, containing the bodies of the extraterrestrials (200 bodies!) were probably sent to the USA.” The article referred to what the FAO (Fundaccion Argentina de Ovnilogia) was saying. The full story of the FAO, written by Carlos Iurchuk, was sent to the British by Luis Pacheco, by email and was found in “Ovniciencia electronico n° 6 October 1996”. In reality, on August 16th the Paz Zamana couple were observing the movements of an orange light above their property and the next day they saw a “thing” fall from the sky. (vog: probably a space debris) In fact, at 1:45 pm hundreds of inhabitants of Salta saw a huge beam of light over a distance of 300 km followed by two strong explosions while a kind of earthquake was felt. A column of smoke was rising from the supposed crash site. On the official side, an investigation was carried out by the Universidade Nacional de Salta (UNSA) and by the Centro Atomico de Salta, while the search was undertaken by rescue groups from Rosario de Lerma. The evidence: a photo showing the white smoke column left by the “UFO” and a video filmed by plane at 3,370 meters altitude, showing a large area of vegetation on fire, but which, the next day, was extinguished. Navy aspirant Pedro Olivera, 31, in charge of the rescue services, said that with binoculars he had seen a metallic object shining in the sun. While an employee of the university added: “What is it? We don’t know, but it’s something quite sophisticated”. In any case, there was no question of encircling the place or recovering “bodies” and the official information was that it was again a meteor, as there have been so many lately. (1996, August 16th and 17th)

When they investigate, they find an object moving along the ground, occasionally emitting fames from its base. After a short while, it zips into the sky, then returns and hovers near them. It then shines a beam of light around the ground, illuminating them at one point.

Event 51647 (27BF2E8F)

Date: 8/18/1996
End date: 8/20/1996
Locations: San Jose (Calif.); San Francisco Bay Area; Los Angeles; Colombia; South Central Los Angeles
Description: Journalist Gary Webb publishes his “Dark Alliance” series in the San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News, with one long article and one or two shorter articles appearing each day. It claims that “For the better part of a decade, a San Francisco Bay Area drug ring sold tons of cocaine to the Crips and Bloods street gangs of Los Angeles and funneled millions in drug profits to a Latin American guerrilla army run by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.” This drug ring “opened the first pipeline between Colombia’s cocaine cartels and the black neighborhoods of Los Angeles” and, as a result, “The cocaine that flooded in helped spark a crack explosion in urban America.” The Mercury News continues to pursue the story, publishing follow-ups to the original series for the next three months. Other papers are slow to pick up the story, but African Americans quickly take note, especially in South Central Los Angeles where the dealers discussed in the series are active. They respond with outrage to the series’ charges. By the end of September, three federal investigations are announced: an investigation into the CIA allegations conducted by CIA Inspector-General Frederick Hitz, an investigation into the law enforcement allegations by Justice Department Inspector-General Michael Bromwich, and a second investigation into the CIA by the House Intelligence Committee. After his resignation from The Mercury News, Webb expands the “Dark Alliance” series into a book that responds to the criticism of the series and describes his experiences writing the story and dealing with the controversy. A revised version is published in 1999 that incorporates Webb’s response to the CIA and Justice Department reports. The February 2000 report by the House Intelligence Committee in turn considers the book’s claims as well as the series’ claims. Webb’s reporting in “Dark Alliance” remains controversial. Many writers discussing the series point to errors in it. The claim that the drug ring of Meneses- Blandón-Ross sparked the “crack explosion” has been perhaps the most criticized part of the series. Webb commits suicide in 2004.

Date: 8/20/1996
Description: At 2:15 a.m. a teenage girl witnessed a metallic, disc-shaped object hovering above a group of nearby power lines in her backyard in West Manchester, Ohio. The round bottom of the craft appeared to be gold in color, and it had orange, green, and reddish-orange lights. A series of rectangular windows were around the middle portion of the craft. One window in the center appeared to be moved down by somebody inside the craft, while at the same time the girl had a strong feeling that she was being watched. After viewing the object for about five minutes, it zig-zagged and shot up into the sky.

Description: Former SAIC employee Denise McKenzie states she worked at Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) in San Diego, a large defense contractor. While employed there she states she came to realize SAIC had “millions upon millions of dollars in contracts” that had no activity associated with them.

She states when she brought this up to her superiors and asked about proper accounting protocols, she was sexually harassed. She states the same form letter was used to explain the non-activity projects were being worked on, but there was no documentation, suggesting to her it was a front for the re-routing of that money for black budget or extra-government projects. She states there should have been documentation and a timeline of events on those projects but at SAIC it did not exist for millions of dollars.

• https://archive.org/details/DisclosureProjectBriefingDocument/

Note: McKenzie also alleges her supervisor’s real identity was declared dead years earlier, fitting a pattern of black budget programs allegedly changing the names of its personnel and faking their death certificates to more easily move personnel without oversight.

Note: Haystack Butte is linked to one anonymous source claiming there are thick walls with wires embedded through them to prevent the escape of held live extraterrestrial entities. (Allegedly entities can dematerialize when surrounded by a strong enough electromagnetic field.) Dr. Michael Wolf claims to have been a UAP consultant to the National Security Council and states he heard “Star Visitors” work with government scientists at Haystack Air Force Laboratory deep under Haystack Butte at Edwards AFB. Wolf suggests underground installation is beneath Cheech AFB near Indian Springs, NV as well.

Event 51666 (0411DF58)

Date: 8/30/1996
Description: USAF Master Sgt. Dan Morris, alleged NRO operative, states: “I became part of a group that would investigate, gather the information, and in the beginning it was still under the Blue Book, Snowbird and different covert programs. I would go interview people who claimed they had seen something and try to convince them they hadn’t seen something or that they were hallucinating. Well, if that didn’t work, another team would come in and give all the threats. And threaten them and their family and so on and so forth. And they would be in charge of discrediting them, making them look foolish and so on and so forth. Now if that didn’t work, then there was another team that put an end to that problem, one way or another.”

Note: The term Project Snowbird (Proword: Cetus) shows up in a disputed Project Aquarius document that alleges Snowbird began in 1972 and it was related to the test flight of recovered ET spacecraft in Nevada. It was allegedly operated by USAF/NASA/CIA/MJ12 according to that document.

Note: In 2009 an alleged witness “Stein” told ufologist Linda Moulton Howe that he was intimidated by Wackenhut officials who told him not to talk about offensive weapons that attempted to shoot down saucers. The Wackenhut “types” told Stein not to talk publicly about
UAP, surveilled him, and threatened him and his family.

Description: (Translated f

[c0mmando]

rom French) Youri Iskov (Isakov) is of sound mind and body. (…) With a moustache, in his sixties and alert, this immigrant from the former USSR claims to have received a visit from extraterrestrials. According to his description: bald humanoids, of small size, with two eyes, a mouth and three fingers on each hand. These strange beings would have burst into his house in Nazareth near the Sea of Galilee and taken him away without mercy, pulling him by the hair, into their flying saucer. There, unable to speak - his tongue inexplicably stuck to the roof of his mouth - he would have been subjected to various experiments for three hours. The extraterrestrials would have notably smeared his body with a sticky green and yellow mixture, all the while commenting on their operations in a babble that was audible but incomprehensible. After which, brought back to his starting point, Youri rushed straight to the police to tell of his misfortunes. Without taking him very seriously, the investigators still had the product that remained on his body analyzed. To their great surprise they found no trace of the most common substances on Earth, revealing an unusual chemical composition with 55% aluminum - an abnormally high rate. (Le Figaro - Saturday, September 21, 1996 “Les extraterrestres sont chauves” - signed Ph. G. which dates the event to September 16, 1996). Uri Sahov (Shakov, retired cook), resident of Nazareth, was on his way to post a letter when he suddenly heard a whistling (and was flown over at very low altitude by a huge UFO) and felt himself grabbed by the hair and shoulders. He was taken away in what he described as an egg-shaped UFO inside of which he saw several small beings one meter tall with heads like bulbs and thin limbs. They emitted incomprehensible sounds and seemed to have a larger being as their leader, rather greenish, with a strange head, rather narrow, with an eye on each side like fish. Uri then remembers that one of the small beings stepped forward towards him, sprinkling him with some kind of yellow powder. He claims to have undergone a certain number of horrible medical tests during which he eventually lost consciousness. When he came to, he was lying on his back in the middle of a football stadium 500 meters from his home. Feeling very ill and dizzy he returned home and called the police.

Taken to the hospital he had to undergo another battery of tests. He still had yellow powder on his face which the doctors took samples of to analyze. The results indicated that it was composed of 60% aluminum (as well as iron, calcium and potassium, but containing no trace of silicon) and bore no resemblance to the earth in the vicinity. The samples were said to have been sent to NASA. (PHENOMENA n° 34 of 1997, p. 13) (Ufo Roundup, vol. 1 n° 25, cites the Associated Press) Barry Chamish, journalist, in an article published on the Internet “Ufo Folklore Center” under the title “Yuri Isaacov - another blow to Israeli ufology” explains that Michael Heseman of “Magazine 2000” (Germany) called by him to meet Yuri, proposed, since the witness claimed to be ill, to have him examined in Houston by abduction expert Derrel Sims. If Yuri had no money Heseman would have paid for the trip on condition of obtaining a copy of Yuri’s medical report. At the hospital they were told by Dr. Michael Kedem that Yuri had signed an exclusivity contract with a lawyer by the name of Michael Luxemburg. Without Luxemburg’s agreement, nothing could be copied. Luxemburg contacted wanted $5,000 for this “work”. By the end of February 1997 Heseman was filming an interview with Yuri where the latter claimed that the week before two extraterrestrials had been in his apartment as well as in an old lady’s from the neighborhood. (…) Finally Barry Chamish concluded that Yuri had set up the whole story for financial gain, and that for the neighborhood Yuri Isaacov is a pathological liar. [note from vog: THEREFORE, if we believe Barry Chamish, this case is a HOAX, however, is this same journalist not subject to caution? He was the first to bombard the foreign press with this story, as well as with those of December 1996]

Description: (Translated from French) A young man went hunting in this border region with Spain. On his way he decided to visit a cave about which it is said that in the 14th century a little girl was found after three days of disappearance. (see 14th century - Fundao) Once in the cave, the young man lost consciousness. He came to in a huge “underground hangar” surrounded by three kinds of extraterrestrials. Several silver ovoid UFOs were parked there. The humanoids, the young man recounts, are part of an interstellar alliance for observing Earth. Their base under the Serra da Guardunha is one of the four bases they have here, the others are in Warminster (England), the Grand Canyon (Arizona USA) and Peru. After hearing all this, the young man lost consciousness again. He regained his senses at eight o’clock in the evening, on the ground, next to the cave. (1996, 15 September)

Event 51687 (457CA7C8)

Date: 9/15/1996
Description: A young backpacker, Ricardo Machado Oliveira, was exploring a remote mountain cave near Cabeca da Penha Mountain, Portugal and while in it apparently passed out. When he came to, he found himself in a vast underground hangar surrounded by “three distinct species of aliens”. Nearby were several silvery ovoid craft. The aliens told Ricardo that they were part of an alliance of interstellar worlds engaged in observing Earth. Their base under the Serra da Guardunha Mountains was one of four such bases. Immediately after hearing this Ricardo blacked out again. When he opened his eyes, he was lying on the ground right outside the cave. In the 14th century, at the same cave, a little girl from a nearby village vanished for three days. When she was finally found, she told the search party that she had been cared for by “a lady in white”, who had offered her water to drink from a bell. Some have attributed this to a visitation by the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Black to dark green in the photos, the cone-shaped object, when enlarged, shows a black Teflon-like covered bottom and a flange or rim that goes around near the top. In each photo the UFO is shown at a slightly different position and altitude, making it more difficult to hoax.

It had large black eyes and an almond-shaped head, no ears, a slit for a mouth, and two holes for a nose. It seemed to be about 5 feet 8 inches tall. The witness could not move his neck much, so he could not see its entire figure. Both the alien and young boy stared at each other for at least five minutes. It didn’t flinch or move. When the witness attempted to scream he couldn’t. He could move his arms, but not his legs. He then heard a voice in his head that said, “Don’t move it is already done” or something similar to that. Upon hearing that, the witness decided to defend himself and punched it directly at the face. As soon as his hand made contact with the creature, it disappeared. There appears to have been about an hour time lapse, and in the morning the witness found marks on his arm and later on his back. He remembers that while he was staring at the alien there appeared to be a white light aura surrounding him. He does not believe he was in his brother’s room at that point.

Event 51694 (4A4633BC)

Date: 9/16/1996
Description: On this evening 62-year-old Uri Sakhov was walking to the local post office in Nazareth, Israel when he suddenly heard a loud whizzing sound and felt hands grab his hair and shoulders. In an instant he found himself being pulled into an egg-shaped object. Inside he found himself in a strange crystal chamber surrounded by several small humanoids. These were described as 2 to 3 feet tall, with heads shaped like light bulbs and skinny limbs that made unintelligible noises. The leader was described as taller and green colored, wearing flowing robes. He was very slender and had a narrow vertical head, with eyes located on either side of it. One of the small humanoids stepped up to the witness and sprayed his face with a yellowish powder. Soon they were conducting numerous medical tests on Sakhov, which made him feel “horrible” and very uncomfortable. Midway through the tests he lost consciousness. When he recovered consciousness he found himself lying flat on his back in the middle of a soccer stadium, half a kilometer from his house. Feeling dizzy, he went home and noticed that he still had some of the yellow powder on his face. The powder was analyzed at a local hospital and it was found to be about 60 percent aluminum and different from any soil found in the area.

Event 51708 (308C9B73)

Date: 9/23/1996
Description: Lyn and Jean, two women from Kennoway, Fife, Scotland had seen a huge triangular craft shining very bright beams of lights towards the ground at around 8 p.m. The object hovered over the area and was seen to bank slowly, revealing a large dome on top. On the underside they could see three small red lights on each apex. The craft shot away suddenly at the sound of an approaching aircraft. At 8:30 p.m. the witnesses again saw the huge triangle over the same location, shining down powerful beams of white light.

The witnesses returned back to the area at 9:55 p.m. and watched a powerful blue glow appear over a nearby field at about treetop level. In order to get a better look they drove down a narrow lane and parked their vehicle. They then saw a large star-like object just above the blue glow that was pulsing while appearing to grow repeatedly larger and smaller. Suddenly they noticed the silhouettes of many small thin figures, moving about in the field. One of the figures was much taller than the others, around seven feet tall. Other small beings moved in among trees in the field, while a large black object sat on the ground. The figures appeared to be moving towards this object. At this point the witnesses became extremely frightened and drove away.

They arrived at the home of one of them and borrowed some binoculars, after which they soon returned to the same location and again saw the blue light, still glowing, and they again saw the little beings moving about the trees. They also saw the very tall being again, standing with its back to them. Viewing the hovering object with binoculars, they could now tell that it was amber in color, with dark indentations all around it. It rotated slowly, occasionally turning on its axis. Dozens of small creatures were visible inside, apparently carrying small boxes and tubular canisters around. Taller figures were also seen and described as having brown skin and oriental shaped eyes. They seemed to be supervising a large group of the smaller beings. Using the binoculars they now spotted a large transparent illuminated capsule-shaped object, that rippled on the outside and had indentations like the crenulations of a brain. The object appeared to be resting on the ground, and there were some very small, thin beings inside it. Next to this object was another smaller one, identical to the first, but this one contained a very tall being with brown skin and narrow eyes. Another larger craft was also seen on the ground near the woods. There were lots of lights around it and dozens of small entities that appeared to be working in groups, coming and going from the woods. The witnesses also saw capsule shaped objects resembling cocoons coming out of the woods. These objects suddenly shot across the field towards the witnesses, hovering only a few feet from them. Each of the capsules contained a small entity. They were soon dozens of bubbles or capsules hovering near the two women.

At this point the witnesses became disoriented and had vague memories of being touched by the small entities with probe-like devices. These small entities were described as having big dark eyes, big heads, and smiled at the witnesses. They communicated among themselves by making loud high-pitched noises. They remember leaving the area and returning home in a state of shock. Later, while checking the scene of the incident, UFO investigators found circular marks on the ground, burnt and dead vegetation, and branches from nearby trees covered in what appeared to be white spider web material.

The creature was reportedly striding across the clearing, swinging its arms back and forth like a soldier. It had long arms that ended in three fingers. It also had a tube-like appendage coming from the top of its head and dangling down its back. Its skin color was light blue and it had a black “thing” that appeared to be an eye but lower than normal, where a nose should have been. They watched the entity for about nine minutes.

The closest distance was not even 100 meters. It descended into a meadow and had to go up a bit to pass over a row of poplars. The witnesses took agricultural paths to approach it, and where they always saw the balloon, when they arrived at the scene: nothing! Nothing in the air, nothing on the ground. It was broad daylight, it was noon and the sun was shining. Duration: about 25 minutes. Officially no balloon was in the air that day. (1996, 25 September)

Description: A man was lying in his bed in Cowen, Webster County, West Virginia when, at 2:39 a.m., he heard a loud noise resembling an approaching train. It was so loud that the house shook. Next, there was a bright light that lit up the sky, and it moved over his house to hover over the porch. Looking out his bedroom window, he saw a dark figure standing outside on the ground. Terrified, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them he found himself floating above the hedge outside his house. Looking up, he saw an arrangement of red, blue, yellow, and white lights on the bottom of the UFO. In the middle of the object there appeared to be a glowing door-shaped entrance. He screamed and lost consciousness. He only remembers waking up in his bed three days later, with no memory of what happened during those three days. He did, however, reportedly find numerous scars on his body that he attributes to his abduction experience.

Event 51722 (77B0F8A3)

Date: 10/3/1996
Description: At approximately 8:00 p.m. local time a number of vehicles traveling on I-25 south of Springer, New Mexico were witness to a cigar-shaped object, estimated to be at least “two stories” tall and covered with very bizarre lights. The object was seen to descend out of the night sky and hover over an area near the highway. At least 4-5 automobiles, and two tractor-trailers had stopped along the highway and their passengers had gotten out of their vehicles to look at the object. At some point during the sighting the object extinguished its lights and apparently settled to the ground. One young person was emotionally upset by the event, and was still in a state of shock several hours later.

Event 51723 (83E693B7)

Date: 10/3/1996
Description: On this Thursday night numerous sightings of one or more blue-green “fireballs” streaking overhead were reported to various law-enforcement agencies in California. Some reports hinted at the possibility that the sightings were associated with several fires of unknown origin that had allegedly broken out as the object or objects passed overhead. Witnesses in at least four counties made reports to the California Emergency Management Office in Sacramento. One observer reported that he had seen a bluish or blue-green fireball descend almost vertically to the east of his location in Bakersfield. The object was observed for approximately 20-30 seconds, during which time it traversed an arc or approximately 30 degrees of angle. The object went below the horizon to the east.

Event 51727 (FE72D39F)

Date: 10/5/1996
Locations: Skegness, Lincolnshire, England; Boston; Claxby by Normanby, Lincolnshire; RAF Waddington near Lincoln; St. Botolph’s Church in Boston
Description: 2:00 a.m. Police Constable David Leyland in Skegness, Lincolnshire, England, sees some rotating colored lights in the sky and reports them to the coast guard. Police in nearby Boston see a single, stationary bright light, while the crew of an offshore tanker report another colored light. Air traffic control radar at Claxby by Normanby, Lincolnshire, picks up a strong target over Boston, and RAF Waddington near Lincoln also picks up an unidentified target in another position. Talk of a UFO wave becomes embellished in the media, and MP Martin Redmond calls for an investigation by RAF Air Defence. Wing Commander Norman Hutchinson conducts an in- depth investigation of all the sightings and radar targets, producing a 23-page report that he completes on November 13. It’s pretty clear that the mysterious radar blips are a permanent radar echo caused by the 273-foot steeple of St. Botolph’s Church in Boston, the stationary white light is Venus, and astronomer Ian Ridpath identifies the rotating colored lights as misobservations of Sirius and Vega.

Date: 10/5/1996
Locations: Ilha da Sarangonha; São José do Norte; Rio Grande do Sul; Brazil; Pelotas Airport
Description: 10:00 a.m. Businessman-pilot Haroldo Westendorff is flying a single-engine EMB-712 Tupi (Piper PA-28 Cherokee) over Ilha da Sarangonha, near São José do Norte, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, when he sees a gigantic object about the size of a football stadium. It is pyramidal in shape with 8 sides, on each of which are 3 protruding domes. Westendorff follows it for 2 minutes. The UFO is revolving slowly on its own axis and moving toward the ocean. A hatch opens on top of the object and three disks emerge and fly away quickly. When Westendorff tries to get closer, the UFO emits reddish rays, causing him to maneuver about 650 feet away. Soon the object begins to rise at great speed. Operators at the Infraero control room at Pelotas Airport visually confirm the observation.

Event 51746 (39511147)

Date: 10/16/1996
Locations: Ripley, Ohio; Aberdeen, Ohio; Tollesboro, Kentucky; Jackson, Ohio; Waverly and Chillicothe, Ohio
Description: 8:30–9:00 p.m. Many people over a wide area of south-central Ohio and northern Kentucky phone police to report strange lights in the sky. A husband and wife watch a fiery orange object near Ripley, Ohio, for 20 minutes. Charles Fite and Bill Adams in Aberdeen, Ohio, see several lights to the north in a “T” formation. A man in Tollesboro, Kentucky, reports 8–10 objects in a group that blink out and reappear in three-minute intervals. An airport operator in Jackson, Ohio, receives two calls describing a group of red lights moving erratically in the northwestern sky. Terry Howard, between Waverly and Chillicothe, Ohio, videotapes a group of glowing objects at about the same angle of altitude as the moon. Ohio UFO investigators suspect that the sightings are a result of military maneuvers by the Ohio Air National Guard.

Description: (Translated from French) At 2 in the morning, Rachel and Leah Gorovitz were driving in a jeep in a side street of Montefiore Street in Ahuzat Bayit, a district of Tel Aviv. The street was deserted. They saw there a small individual (1.5m) but very obese in a red suit, carrying a backpack that seemed to be an integral part of the vest. He walked like a robot, had a pale wax face without any expression. The individual was coming in their direction. The driver, taken by panic, maneuvered to turn around and leave at high speed. Later the magnetism of the jeep was measured, it attested several hundred milligauss higher than the average of vehicles in Tel Aviv.

Event 51771 (F01BBF57)

Date: 10/25/1996
Location: Gypsumville, Manitoba
Description: 2:00 a.m. A family sees a bowl-shaped disc with five rectangular windows in Gypsumville, Manitoba. It is seen through binoculars as it directs a beam of light down at a lake it is hovering above. Two nights later it returns, moving high above the lake. They drive to the home of a neighbor who joins them outside to watch four objects flying in formation. Two of the objects suddenly change direction and disappear from view, then the other two shine beams of light on the lake again and disappear by moving into the clouds.

Event 51773 (F039790C)

Date: 10/26/1996
Description: (Translated from French) Not far from the Isle of Lewis, in the north of Scotland, a bright light, then a trail of fire and smoke is observed in the sky from Port of Ness. Witnesses report seeing 2 large debris spiraling down towards the ocean, leaving a trail of smoke behind them. These pieces fall into the water, causing further explosions; the surface of the ocean is seen to be flaming in places for several minutes. Not far away, in Stornoway, coast guards are alerted; rescue boats are dispatched to the scene. The authorities think that an airplane has crashed — several transatlantic lines pass over Lewis. A RAF RAF Nimrod plane joins the rescue teams. But, at this stage of the search, it is already known that no airplane — civilian or military — is missing. (October 26th, 4:10 PM)

Date: 10/26/1996
Description: At 7:30 p.m. at Baca Rach and Highway 66T in the San Luis Valley, Colorado the author Christopher O’Brien and his two friends Dumas and Nickerson spotted a solid, unblinking orange light low in the sky moving from the southeast to the northwest at a speed of about 200 mph. The craft did a loop, moved to the east, then headed back displaying FAA lighting. Several minutes later, two more craft came from the east.

Event 51775 (392A3FE9)

Date: 10/27/1996
Description: (Translated from French) The search is called off, and a RAF spokesperson declares: We have conducted extensive searches, without result. We remain puzzled as to the cause of this incident. However, as even civilian vessels are staying away from the Lewis area, a large manoeuvre involving planes, boats and military submarines starts in the same place. Officially, it is only a coincidence, but according to a source from the Scottish National Party, fishermen reported having seen a frigate from the navy retrieving a wreck from the ocean floor. The army seems to have found something. 4 months later, in April 1997, an unidentified substance is washed up on the beach of Tangusdale, in Barra (Scotland). Regional experts confirmed that the prevailing currents and winds could have brought this substance - possibly a residue of an unknown fuel - from the Lewis area. (October 27th)

Event 51786 (9286029C)

Date: 11/7/1996
Location: ROMANIA, Constanza
Description: (Translated from French) Elena Antonescu, 29 years old, was watching a gymnastics competition on television in her apartment. During the commercial break, she went to the kitchen to smoke a cigarette and opened the window. The night was dark, full of clouds. However, she saw a small red star. While continuing to smoke her cigarette, she stayed in front of the open window, looking for other stars, which she did not see. Then she saw a red ball, not circular but shaped like a rugby ball. At this point she wanted to close the window, but she was stunned to see this ball come 50 meters from her. She ran and rang the neighbors, asking them to look outside. Seen up close, said Elena, it was more like a half moon, with a flat base, of a color between bright red, orange and pink. The neighbors, braver, continued to observe this thing for a quarter of an hour and saw it slowly move west.

He soon noticed that the whole area around him was completely illuminated, as if the full Moon was overhead. Having got back into the vehicle with his two friends, they saw that the light was coming from a very bright source in a nearby field, and they next noticed movement coming from some nearby trees. Suddenly, three to four short Grey beings, with large oval-shaped heads, scampered with amazing speed towards the light source on the field. Frightened, Boscolo and his friends drove away from the scene at high speed.

Date: 11/16/1996
Location: Santos, São Paulo, Brazil
Description: During an exhibition by the Brazilian Air Force’s Smoke Squadron over the coastline of Santos, São Paulo, Brazil, one of the EMB-312 Tucano aircraft’s wings breaks off and causes it to crash. A piece of the wing falls on a swimmer and kills him. A video taken at the time of the accident shows a small spherical object approaching the aircraft from behind and passing just at the point where the wing breaks off. Ufologist Reginaldo de Athayde analyzes the video images and finds that the object is real, metallic, reflective, and boasts a speed five times greater than the airplane. It measures about 3-by-3 feet in diameter and has a speed of 746–932 mph. It passes about 6.5 feet from the wing of the plane.

The few witnesses speak of a flash, which will lead to the thought that an airplane could have crashed. The rescuers are immediately called and Dingy becomes a rear base for the search teams (more than 200 men). Journalists, ufologists and curious people flock to the small town. It is then that several witnesses notice the presence of two men dressed in black, who keep asking questions. When Jean-Pierre Troadec, journalist and head of the Rhônes-Alpes branch of the SOS OVNI association, questions them about the reasons for their curiosity, they cut off any discussion, turn on their heels and leave the place. Were they MIB? (November 21, 5am)

Event 51801 (42BA68F5)

Date: 11/23/1996
Description: David L., a local cab driver, was taking several passengers home from a pub in Hallbankgate, Cumbria, England at around 1:40 a.m. when he observed a large green ball of light with a white ring around. The ball of light dropped from the sky and then hovered in some woods at a nearby farm. Later, after driving another group of passengers from the pub, he came up a hill and saw a tall figure emerging from a gate in a field on his right hand side. The figure wore a silver suit with some kind of helmet on his head. It was carrying what appeared to be a “white sheet” in front of him that he was not holding, but seemed to be stuck to his hands. Both David and his two passengers were extremely frightened and did not stop, driving quickly away from the area.

Date: 11/24/1996
Description: During a very stormy night in Houston, Texas a woman was having trouble falling sleep and was very restless. At around 2:00 a.m. she started feeling very strange, as if in some sort of a trance. There was a window right above her bed, and it felt as if something was pulling her from inside. At the same time some kind of appartition appeared on the upper part of the closet door directly across from the window. It appeared to be a reddish figure with wings, or something on either side of its body, that was moving up and down. She also saw a shadow pass by the window to the left of the bed. The creature then vanished. Her husband did not see or experience anything. A week after the incident, the witness suffered a nervous breakdown.

Location: Netherlands, Enschede
Description: (Translated from French) At around 6:30 pm, three witnesses observed a UFO. It was a pink-red ball heading south to east. One of the witnesses initially thought it was a helicopter about to land on the roof of the “Spectrum” (hospital) of Twente, and was surprised to hear nothing. The phenomenon had the apparent size of a full moon and flew on a constant trajectory. Another witness, in a car stopped at a red light, observed the same object. The third witness, living in the south part of the city, saw the thing fly over the city center, heading northeast, with his whole family.

Believing her to be lost, he approached her and to his amazement the girl had an albino complexion and long hair of the same color. While he was looking at her, the girl broke into dozens of small lights. His memories stop there. He regains consciousness lying on the grass of the park, with several unexplained scratches on his back that hurt him. (1996, December (around the 22nd?))

Description: Late at night two coon hunters and their hunting dogs were parked on Leonard Road six miles south of Bethel, Ohio waiting for the right time to set their dogs loose. They released them and followed them into a harvested cornfield. As they approached the nearby power lines the dogs got very quiet, which was very uncommon for these dogs. When one of the hunters stepped into a clearing he was shocked to see a silvery saucer-shaped craft with a transparent cupola sitting on the ground. Nearby stood three humanoids wearing coverall uniforms. The beings were described as “Greys,” short with slanted black eyes. One of them was slightly taller and had a much bigger head. As both the hunters and their dogs watched, the three humanoids ran to their saucer and entered through an open hatch. T

Event 51818 (62F64D94)

Date: 12/9/1996
Description: Plinio Bragatto, a 74-year old laborer, was on his way home after work in Governador Valadares, Mina Gerais, Brazil when he made a brief stop to buy some beers. He walked on from the mart and stopped to sit on a rock in order to drink one of the beers. At 6:30 p.m. he heard a loud sound coming from behind him. When he turned around he saw a large metallic oval-shaped craft land in a field close to him. It landed on several leg-like protrusions.

Once the object had landed a door opened, and a ladder or escalator of some sort was lowered to the ground. Next a two-meter tall humanoid figure stepped out. The being approached Bragatto and, in a peculiar language that sounded like Spanish, invited the witness to come inside. The witness agreed and was escorted inside. Once inside he noticed that the interior had a metallic bluish sheen to it. Still speaking in the peculiar language that the witness was somehow able to understand, the humanoid told Bragatto that they were going to take him to their “native planet.” He was given the impression that the planet was Mars. There was a total of three humanoids aboard, two men and a woman. He described them as closely resembling humans. They wore loose fitting gray outfits with several golden medallions hanging from around their necks. The hair on their heads grew from the middle of their heads back, and they had large ears and mouths that made them somewhat ugly.

Before leaving, Bragatto was given a medical examination by the beings. His stomach area was probed with several needle-like instruments. On the way to the being’s home planet he was given a fruit resembling a “Mamey” and something resembling an empanada. He was also given a bitter-tasting beverage. In turn he offered the humanoids a beer, which they accepted. Arriving on the surface of the other world, the witness was greeted by several similarly appearing beings. The “planet” was beautiful in appearance and he saw numerous buildings that appeared to be made of a nylon-like material. One being now approached him and told him it was time to go, that eight hours had already passed. On his was back to the craft the witness saw a huge television screen that showed strange holographic like images, including dinosaur like animals.

When he asked them when they would be returning to Earth, he was then told “We will return when the storms are less intense, since we have already lost five of our aircraft as a result of lighting.” Around four o’clock in the morning he was returned to Brazil, but he found himself in an unfamiliar field. He followed a nearby path and reached a village that was more than 800 kilometers from his home town. He went to the police and told them what had happened. A police officer conducted an investigation and reportedly found a circular ground mark at the field where Bragatto was supposedly dropped off by the aliens.

Event 51819 (C02DEFEC)

Date: 12/11/1996
Description: (Translated from French) More than 30 inhabitants of the Yukon Territories (Canada) observe a huge flying object moving slowly and silently above the countryside, at 100 m altitude. Alone or in small groups, the eye witnesses of the object’s passage all give similar descriptions of its shape, size and lighting. One witness is on a mountain at the same level as the object while it flies only a few hundred meters away. To see the ship in its entirety, he must turn his head from side to side. Triangulation and background references such as mountains or constellations, allow to estimate the size of the object (approved by the witnesses) between 1 and 2 km. (December 11)

Event 51834 (DB39DF01)

Date: 12/19/1996
Location: USA, Clearwater (Florida)
Description: (Translated from French) Large images appeared at a window, CNN reported, and people gathered to see the Virgin appear on the window of an office building. Sister Martin, a nun from the Order of St. Anne in Bangalore, India, said that God was giving them a sign. The image, two stories high, appeared on December 19th on the glass walls of the financial building. It varied in color from blue to green to red, and there seemed to be a well-defined head and clothing on a torso. Skeptics said that it was only reflections of light on more or less dirty windows. But the nuns of the cited order prayed and sang out loud, drawing a lot of people into the same gestures. Finally, the financial company asked for a team of window washers to put an end to the pilgrimage…

Event 51837 (149A34D6)

Date: 12/20/1996
Location: Belgium, Bastogne-Bertogne
Description: (Translated from French) At around 12:30, a tourist plane disappeared from the air force’s radar screens. At that moment, it was supposed to be flying over the Bastogne and Bertogne region. Curiously, despite the searches carried out throughout the afternoon, no trace of a possible plane crash was found and no one in the region seems to have seen anything. It is true that a thick fog has been covering the Bastogne plateau since this morning. It also prohibited the use of a helicopter. The searches, which were interrupted at 5 pm, will resume tomorrow morning at 9 am. (“La Wallonie” of 20.12.1996 “Appearance of a UFO or an airplane?”) IN REALITY: C. T. d’Havelange wrote to me this: “As a rescuer, my sister participated in the search parties coordinated by the army. As usual, the people in charge of these parties did not provide any concrete elements to the people on the ground, so they did not know exactly what they were looking for. (…) Finally, it appears that the story is a misunderstanding. The day before, a German helicopter landed on a base in Bastogne, after activating its distress beacon. The next day, the aircraft took off again but it would have forgotten to turn off its beacon. It would have cut it off later, after a certain amount of flight time already completed. (???) Moreover, loggers reported to the authorities having heard an aircraft (small plane or helicopter). They did not see anything because of the fog, but they imagined that this aircraft could be in trouble. So there was on the one hand an erroneous human testimony and on the other hand an accidental distress signal. My sister and many others traveled miles in the Ardennes woods for nothing. Moreover, if there had been something to find, they would not have found it since the group leader who held the compass and who made the people walk in line managed to make them go around in circles. False alarm then, but my version is accurate to the detail.”

Event 51838 (F98BC744)

Date: 12/21/1996
Location: Israel, Achihod-Ahyud (Akko)
Description: (Translated from French) In the night, the police were called by the villagers. People reported the presence of blue luminous disks flying over their farms. The next day, Mrs. Tziona Damti observed an “alien” near her father-in-law’s barn. Of humanoid type, it measured about twenty centimeters high, was greenish in color, had limbs (arms and legs) without fingers and large black eyes. She found it in the morning of December 22, lying on the ground in a puddle of green liquid and called the police. In order to preserve the small corpse from decomposition, Tziona Damti and her husband put it in the freezer compartment of the fridge. When the police arrived, the creature’s body, taken out of the freezer, had shrunk to only 5 centimeters long. It was sent for autopsy to the Technion Institute in Haifa. Having seen images of the creature on a television show, the microbiologist, Dr. Rachelle Fishman, suggested that it could be an absorbed embryo (by another animal) or newborn of a vertebrate, such as a salamander. Another scientist suggested an embryo of a chameleon. The liquid found on the site would have been the amniotic fluid. (Note from vog: this was confirmed by the analysis, it seems) Another farmer in the area said that the extraterrestrials had stolen 18 sheep from him in the night of 21 to 22 December, while in the nearby town of Tamara, an Arab shepherd also complained of the theft of sheep that night. (1996, December 21 and 22)
Reference: Ufo Folklore Center produces on the Internet under the title “It’s a bird, it’s an alien, it’s a fraud” an article by the journalist-uflogue Barry Chamish, but very curiously transmitted by Dr Rachelle H.B. Fishman, whose address is: The Sea View, PO BOX 387, Zichron Ya’akov - 30900 ISRAEL. This article features the protagonists already mentioned above, adding even less likely details, such as that the creature was observed the day before and that it jumped in the air if one wanted to catch it, as well as the unappetizing fact that it began to disintegrate from the head which liquefied … But also mentioned on the spot, arguing over the remains of the ET which is put up for auction at a starting price of 10,000 dollars, Uri Geller himself and Michael Heseman (Germany). The latter made headlines during the famous Roswell autopsy shown on TF 1 some time ago. Heseman claimed in Leeds, at a conference, that he had interviewed and videotaped this interview with the cameraman Barnett (who sold the film to Santili) in case something happened to Barnett. Needless to say, at present no one saw this interview. The article continues by claiming that “the little material” of the ET provided to the laboratory for analysis did not allow to reach a conclusion. All this seems to me to derive from a sick fantasy, or from a manipulation of opinion for the purposes of disinformation.

These creatures had enormous strength, and they were dressed in leather clothing. “After they bit me, I lost consciousness,” said Daoud Ahmad, who was quickly taken to the hospital, treated, and released the same day. According to Palestinian television, the neighbors heard strange sounds coming from the bed, but not a single one saw anything or anyone emerge from the house afterwards.

Event 51845 (0F8FB3B2)

Date: 1997
Location: Reston, Virginia
Description: In his 1997 article “Dead Cows I’ve Known,” cattle mutilation researcher Charles T. Oliphant speculates that cattle mutilations are the result of covert research into emerging cattle diseases and whether they can be transmitted to humans. He suspects the NIH, CDC, or other federally funded bodies are involved, and they are supported by the US military. Pazrt of this is based on allegations that human pharmaceuticals have been found in mutilated cattle, and that necropsies show cattle mutilations commonly involve areas of the animal that relate to “input, output, and reproduction.” To support his hypothesis, Oliphant cites the 1990 Reston Ebola virus case in which plainclothes military officers, traveling in unmarked vehicles, entered a research facility in Reston, Virginia, to secretly retrieve and destroy animals that were contaminated with a highly infectious disease.

She also says that photos of purported extraterrestrial women “Asket” and “Nera” are really photos of Michelle DellaFave and Susan Lund, members of the singing and dancing troupe The Golddiggers. It is later confirmed that the women in the photographs are members of The Golddiggers performing on The Dean Martin Show.

Doctor Norbert Felgenhauer, from the Toxic Chirgurchie Institute of Munich, contests this explanation: mercury is a deadly poison dangerous to any human body organ, and these “dwarves” would not have survived it. Furthermore, he declares, mercury cannot modify human DNA nor cause hereditary disease. (January)

Description: (Translated from French) At the place called Chantepie, around 2 am, B.C., 57 years old, a farmer, was woken up by an explosion sound and a shrill whistle. His wife, however, kept sleeping. He got up, went to the kitchen to have a bite. Suddenly, outside, a big flash. He looked through the window and saw, in the middle of his fields, something like headlights. He went out taking his hunting gun. He hurried towards the blinding light and tried to shout, but no sound came out of his mouth. He felt stopped by an invisible force. He couldn’t move anymore. Then he saw two beings coming out of the blue luminous shape. The viscous and transparent shapes passed near him, seeming to ignore him, heading towards the barn on his right. He felt prickles all over his body, he was sweating and he realized he was in the snow in his nightshirt and slippers. He was scared. The small humanoid shapes passed near him again and he saw them merging into the electric shape that disappeared vertically instantly. Then B.C. went back with difficulty to the kitchen. It was 5:15. He had spent 2 hours and 45 minutes outside in the cold, at -9°C, in light clothing and he was sweating. His slippers were frozen. When he entered, his wife was still sleeping. The lights were all on

Event 51861 (B5071D71)

Date: 1/5/1997
Description: B. C., a 57-year-old farmer living in Ille et Vilaine, Chantepie, France was awakened at two a.m. by a noise like an explosion and a strident whistling sound. His wife continued to sleep. He got out of bed and went to the kitchen to get something to eat. Suddenly he saw a bright flash of light outside. He looked out the French windows of his farmhouse and saw lights in the middle of a field resembling headlights. He grabbed his shotgun and went out to investigate. Running toward the light, he attempted to shout a warning, but oddly no sound came out of his mouth. He next was hit by some invisible force field and was unable to move. He then saw two small beings emerge from the luminous form. The figures looked to be transparent and passed close to him, seemingly unaware of his presence. The figures then walked toward the nearby barn. At the same time he felt a prickling sensation and began to sweat. The small beings walked by him a second time and disappeared inside the luminous form. The light shot up into the sky vertically at an incredible speed. B. C. was now able to move and he returned to his kitchen, still sweating. When he got back to his bedroom his wife was still in bed sleeping. He appeared to have experienced some missing time.

Event 51862 (DEB837C1)

Date: 1/7/1997
Description: Ryan Chapman and two other witnesses were staying in a cabin at an undisclosed location in Florida when they saw strange flashing lights in the sky late on this night. Feeling apprehensive the witnesses decided to make a perimeter check of the area. Suddenly one of them screamed when he saw a large disc-shaped craft hovering over the cabin. One witness loaded his gun and began firing at the craft, but when nothing happened they ran back toward the cabin. Their way was blocked by several short thin gray-skinned humanoids that were carrying long needle-like implements. The creatures grabbed the three men who attempted to escape but were somehow overpowered. Ryan felt a pain in the back of his neck as he fell to the ground and blacked out. The next day, after coming to, they found strange marks on their chins, wrists and behind their ears. A scorched area was reportedly found on the roof and walls of the cabin.

Event 51865 (E11BFBCA)

Date: 1/12/1997
Location: Puerto Rico, between Caguas and Humacho
Description: (Translated from French) Pedro Viera, a retired policeman, was driving around 2:30 in the morning on Route 40 between Caguas and Humacho. Suddenly he saw a disc-shaped UFO hovering over a field, lifting a cow in a “tractor beam”. The animal passed through an opening in the bottom of the UFO and then disappeared from view. Viera accelerated, engaging in a kind of pursuit. Speeding along Route 40, he kept the UFO in sight. His chase was abruptly interrupted by the arrival of an old 4x4 model, and he had to stop on the side of the road. Two men in black uniforms emerged from the 4x4, approached him and said “let them do what they had to do”. At first Viera didn’t understand, but then he had to accept the evidence that these words were related to the UFO. Meanwhile he had obviously lost sight of it and Viera returned home. Five hours later, around 7 in the morning, Puerto Ricans found a mutilated cow along Route 40. They said the animal seemed to have been thrown from a considerable height.

Event 51869 (96561116)

Date: 1/22/1997
Location: USA, Central Region
Description: (Translated from French) At 3:30 in the morning a bright green light ball traveled across the entire sky of the Central US and was observed in five states, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas. Wayne Wyrick of the Kirkpatrick Planetarium in Oklahoma City said the phenomenon looked like a plane on fire descending. Major Steve Boylan, spokesperson for Norad, said it was debris from a Delta II missile used to launch a satellite in December. In the January 25th edition of The Daily Oklahoman, the testimony of a woman is reported; she saw the ball descend as if to crash just west of Oklahoma City. (…) On January 24th, Ed Longcope went to feed the cattle in the fields, when he saw something shining half-buried in the ground, in the cow pasture. It was a fairly large hollow ball (medicine ball) of metallic appearance, with nuts on the opposite sides and a median rib. The half-melted object was entrusted by the witness to the local sheriff who sent it to the New Braunfels Meteorological Institute. The object could not be identified there and eventually the object was entrusted to Randolph Military Base (east of San Francisco). A few days before this find, witnesses had seen unusual lights in the sky in the New Braunfels region (Joseph Trainor - Masinaigan - Ufo Folklore Center) IN REALITY: According to United States Command No. 1-97, Springs Colorado: the body of the Delta II missile, launched on April 24, 1996, entered the Earth’s atmosphere at 3:30 in the morning. This cylindrical tube measured 7 feet long by 4 feet in diameter and could be observed in at least five states and fell 3 miles east of Georgetown, Texas, the tank (the largest part of the second stage, landed in Austin less than 100 m from a house. It measured 9 feet long, 6 feet in diameter, cylindrical in shape with rounded ends, weight about 750 kg. The piece found by Ed Longcope was the rounded base of the second stage of Delta II, 80 cm in diameter and weighing about 35 kg. On February 7th, near Seguin, other debris from Detlta II were also found.

People saw a saucer land and spoke with the men who came out of it. These “extraterrestrials” said they were from the planet… UMMO! They said they were on a mission on Earth. The Mexicans were not scared of their appearance… because these “ummites” were small, stocky, and very dark-skinned, like the Mexicans! Of course, they spoke Spanish. The story does not say if, in addition, these Mexican ummites wore the sombrero. [vog: and to think they made the Spaniards believe they (the Ummites) were tall blondes…]

Event 51892 (2C56D294)

Date: 2/13/1997
Location: Chile, Llano (Santiago)
Description: (Translated from French) Around 11:30 PM, Marta Aguilar Montoya and her two young children were sleeping in their bedroom in Gran Avenida, in the Llano section of Santiago. Suddenly, the mother was awoken by a crackling sound coming from the television, even though she was certain it was not turned on. She got up and saw a “slim” figure standing 1.5 to 1.6 meters tall, wearing a tight-fitting suit and a helmet with a visor. She could not see its eyes. This apparition also had a backpack attached to the helmet by two straps over the shoulders. Her husband being away at work, Marta was terrified. She grabbed her two children in her arms and stayed there, watching. The occupant kept “looking” at her but made no movement. After several minutes it turned towards the wall of the room, and Marta heard the electric crackling sound again, a kind of “SSHH” crackling noise. The creature disappeared through the wall, leaving an imprint of its silhouette on the wall. This imprint disappeared after two minutes. The cases of Lago de Rapel and Llano are being investigated by the ufology group AION.

Date: 2/13/1997
Description: At 11:30 p.m. Marta Aguilar Montoya and her two small children were asleep in their bedroom in Santiago, Chile when she heard a crackling noise that woke her up suddenly. Turning her head, she noticed a small figure about 4-foot 8 inches tall standing next to the TV; it was wearing a tight-fitting suit and a helmet with a visor. The being also wore a backpack connected to the helmet by two hoses, one over each shoulder. Frightened, she brought her two children to her bed and just continued to watch. The being stared at the trio but never made a move towards them. After several minutes the being turned to face the bedroom wall, and again there was a loud crackling sound. It then disappeared through the wall, leaving only its silhouette on the wall, which disappeared after two minutes.

All three witnesses became frightened and hid until the object and its occupant left the area.

Event 51901 (E762E9FF)

Date: 2/20/1997
Location: Spain, Paradeseca (Orense - Galicia)
Description: (Translated from French) Heliodoro Nunez was tending to sheep in a pasture 3 km from the road to Chandrexa, along the Devesas river. It was around 4 pm when I was with the flock, he said. Suddenly the dogs started barking and I received a ray of light on me. Turning around I saw these strange creatures. He describes several entities 3 m tall and wearing strange conical hats. The whole group changed color simultaneously, from red to blue, then to yellow and again to green. “It was not from this world, and at the sight of this apparition I started to pray”. A neighbor, Juan Gonzalez Gonzalez, confirms saying that he saw something strange in that meadow at the same time. It was a red light of a very intense tone hovering above the trees. But due to the distance separating him from Nunez, he did not see the giants. The investigation was carried out by the Fenix group from La Coruna. To the investigator, Nunez’s wife recounts that her husband came home that day completely scared. He only prayed, could not sleep for two nights and could not eat anything. [vog: coincidence to say the least: the Vatican had just issued a new stamp, anti-Semitic moreover, where one sees Jews wearing the famous pointed hat mandatory for them in the Middle Ages]

Event 51912 (3E2F3C7A)

Date: 2/24/1997
Description: A 50-year-old grandmother was sleeping with her grandchildren in a room in Brigantine, New Jersey and had left several lights on to comfort them. At 1:00 a.m. she awoke and noticed that the lights had been turned off. Her eyes slowly became accustomed to the dark and she felt a presence in the room. She then saw two short figures standing near her bed.

She was then startled as one of the beings moved aggressively and grabbed her. She jumped up and punched the being in the face, and his skin felt like hard plastic. She struggled some more, grabbing the figure by the throat, noticing that the neck appeared horribly wrinkled. The being was about five feet tall and thin. She then bit the being; she said it felt like biting a cold piece of ham. After a few more minutes of struggling the being dropped to the floor. Next a third figure appeared in the room, and the two aliens who remained standing moved towards her. One brushed against her face and grabbed her wrist. He seemed to be stronger than the first. She suddenly fainted. When she regained consciousness the figures had gone. The children had apparently been left untouched. She suffered from a severe headache afterwards and found three puncture wounds on her neck.

Description: A man was driving to work near Lee, New Hampshire when he saw four balls of white light zigzag in unison over some nearby power lines. They then hovered about 50 feet from the ground looking a little blurry. The witness continued driving east on the road and ten minutes later saw the same lights again over a bog. At this point he began to hear voices inside his head. Now having stomach pains, he heard the voices warn him against studying UFOs. He then asked several questions, which the voices answered. When he came upon some large pine trees there was a blinding flash of orange light, and he felt his vehicle being lifted up. He then apparently lost consciousness. He woke up an hour later inside his vehicle.

Event 51920 (C4986201)

Date: 3/1997
Location: Cheltenham, England
Description: Cheltenham, England, researcher Robin Cole and his UFO group named Circular Forum have looked into the activities of the nearby Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) facility known as the Oakley Installation. He issues an unpublished report on their findings, titled “GCHQ and the UFO Cover-Up,” which includes information on radar/visual encounters reported by RAF personnel in the 1950s, evidence that GCHQ studied gun-camera footage of UFOs taken by British military pilots, the fact that the GCHQ library contains numerous UFO publications, and evidence that GCHQ still monitors military UFO encounters. Shortly afterward, he is visited by two Cheltenham policemen who ask him about a UFO group called the Truth-Seekers. It turns out they are actually from the Special Branch of the Metropolitan Police, a counter-terrorism division.

Event 51922 (716E45E0)

Date: 3/3/1997
Description: The Moynihan Commission on Government Secrecy, chaired by Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.), after conducting an “investigation into all matters in any way related to any legislation, executive order, regulation, practice, or procedure relating to classified information or granting security clearances,” issues its final report. It concludes that secrecy is a form of government regulation; that excessive secrecy has significant consequences for the national interest when policy makers are not fully informed, the government is not held accountable for its actions, and the public cannot engage in informed debate; that some secrecy is important to minimize inappropriate diffusion of details of weapon systems design and ongoing security operations as well as to allow public servants to secretly consider a variety of policy options without fear of criticism; that the best way to ensure that secrecy is respected, and that the most important secrets remain secret, is for secrecy to be returned to its limited but necessary role; that secrets in the federal government are whatever anyone with a stamp decides to stamp secret; and that a new statute is needed to set forth the principles for what may be declared secret. Moynihan reports that approximately 400,000 new secrets are created annually at the highest level, Top Secret.

Description: (Translated from French) (AFP) The police deployed a dozen cars and patrols, following calls from Schiphol Airport and other citizens that a spaceship was about to land. This was reported to the press by spokesperson Klaas Wilting. “They were observing stationary bright lights that did not appear on the radar screen,” he said. “We only found a huge crane, 50 meters high, reported in the night with stroboscopic lamps, that is what misled people,” he added. It was enough that the radio mentioned the observation of lights for dozens of calls to reach the police…

Description: 3:00 a.m. Folkestone Herald journalist Sarah Hall is driving through Burmarsh, Kent, England, when she sees a large triangular object descend and hover above a field some 700 feet away near Dymchurch. It has a disc attached to it on the back and a big light on the front. When she pulls to a stop, it shoots away to a spot about 1,500 feet away and hovers. It does this four times, making a humming sound, and moving westward in increments for only a few seconds at a time. The UFO seems to be twice the size of an airliner. Other witnesses to a strange object come forward after Hall writes an article about her sighting. The residence of Conservative Home Secretary Michael Howard in Lympne is one epicenter.

It was reported that there was a wall of light 165 m long and 11 m high. (BANQUE OVNI, Bagneux France, 1997, p. 5/8, updated 13.5.97) Paul Dassault, 67 years old, was walking near his house. To his right, about 200 feet away, he saw two large yellow lights in the woods. He was alarmed, as there is no road there, not even a trail for a snowmobile. After a few seconds, he realized it was a solid, black, square object 6 feet long (1.8 m) with two bright yellow lights. Deciding to investigate, he entered the woods, but from the center of the object a huge wall of light emerged on either side, 165 meters long and 11 meters high. Frightened, the witness returned home, but he saw that the UFO was still in place.

Event 51933 (0468865D)

Date: 3/10/1997
Description: After dropping off his girlfriend at her home in the city of Santa Fe de Bogota, Colombia Juan Sudarsky was walking home alone at around 3:00 a.m. when he suddenly felt very cold. He next saw a purple light drop from the sky, and at the same time he heard a high-pitched screeching sound and he felt dizzy. He fell to his knees, sweating profusely despite the sensation of cold. An orange beam of light then appeared beside him. Several odd looking, medium-sized creatures then emerged from the beam. They appeared to have only one eye and each had a large antenna that radiated an odd blue light. They had a strange orifice where their mouths should have been. The creatures emitted intermittent screeches of varying frequencies. Juan could apparently understand them, because he was receiving mental messages. The beings then formed a circle around Sudarsky, and one of them approached and touched his forehead. He then got a mental message in perfect Spanish, telling him to guard the planet against pollution, because their own world was almost totally ruined, and now there were only 50 of them left. Soon after this they flew back into the purple light via the orange beam of light. Before leaving, the leader showed Sudarsky a strange communication device.

Event 51936 (07619A62)

Date: 3/13/1997
Location: USA, Prescott Valley, Arizona
Description: (Translated from French) According to the police, a man had seen a UFO above the Prescott Valley shopping center around 8:00 PM. Peter Davenport, from the National Ufo Reporting organization, received dozens of calls first from Paulden, then from Prescott, then from Glendale and the last observations were taking place above Tucson. A man from Paulden told the newspaper “The Daily Courier” that he had seen an object shaped like a diamond. An astronomer called to say he had seen an object with five white lights. Apparently from the AFB Luke base, two planes with cameras were launched to intercept the object. Upon its return, one of the pilots was shocked. However, the base spokesperson, Sgt. Rolla Suttmiler, denied this information. (Aufora News Update 16.3.1997, collected by AREPS.) The first call came from a former policeman saying that he and his family had seen a strange cluster of red lights moving very quickly in the sky around Paulden at 8:16 PM. This cluster of lights clearly had orange-red lights among them, with 4 to 5 red lights in the lead, followed by a single light seeming to be in the back of the others. The lead lights seemed to be in a “V” formation or like a boomerang. The following calls came from Phoenix where several people saw 4 or 5 very intense white lights pass by at 8:17 PM. These people reported that the formation had a triangular shape with a complex group of lights along the sides. One of the observers said that the orientation of the white lights seemed to change as he watched the phenomenon with his family.

In Prescott Valley, a witness was outside with his wife and sons when they saw the cluster of lights to the northwest of their position. The lights seemed to be in a triangular formation and all seemed to be red in color except for the lead light which was white. The phenomenon was observed through binoculars for 2 to 3 minutes before passing to the right of the witnesses who then saw a “band” to the right. The phenomenon disappeared to the SE of Prescott Valley. In the quiet night, none of the witnesses heard any sound coming from the phenomenon. The next witness came from Dewey, 10 miles south of Prescott. Five adults and young people, in a car driving north on Highway 69, saw a cluster of lights in the sky in a V formation. The driver stopped in a commercial parking lot and all the occupants got out. At that moment the phenomenon was directly above them where it hovered for several minutes. One of the witnesses in this group reported that the phenomenon was so big that he couldn’t cover the surface of the thing with his fist at arm’s length. He estimated that the phenomenon was at 100 feet in altitude and said it was absolutely silent. He saw a small private plane in the vicinity of the object and that the phenomenon seemed to be heading towards the Prescott airport. This witness then alerted the airport as well as the AFB Luke base, whose telephone operator confirmed having received many calls. Other testimonies then came in from Chino Valley, Temple, Glendale, Phoenix, Kingman and Tucson. All these witnesses described the phenomenon in detail. An amateur astronomer from Phoenix saw to the left of his house a mass of solid, non-shining lights and was able to discern that each was composed of two smaller lights. He saw two planes in the vicinity of the phenomenon, planes that were turning around to the west and east. The phenomenon was moving from north to south. (…) Later, between 8:45 and 9:00 PM the phenomenon was seen for about ten minutes, hovering and disappearing behind the mountains in a southerly direction. A lot of witnesses made statements having seen F 15c intercepting the object and photographing it with gun-cameras before returning to the Luke base, this aspect of the observation is unfortunately impossible to verify. (NUFORC, B. Davenport- News 002 collected from the Internet by CAAP - Roulers, Belgium) A video film was made by Tom King and Bill Hamilton (CBS EVENING NEWS). In the different phases one can see: - an orange light appearing in Ahwatukee around 9:50 PM, it comes to position itself near two other orange lights. - then, a few seconds later, another orange light arrives. - then one sees the 4 orange lights and a fifth arriving on the left. A pilot leaving Skyhabor Airport said he had seen this formation above his plane. (E-mail Bill Hamilton, web page by Tom King -and- Ufo Folklore Center AUFORA News update 17.5.1997) IN REALITY: military exercises, nighttime interceptions, with a simulated battle at an altitude of 5000 to 50000 feet in the air space known as BUKEYE MOA. There are identical exercises every quarter, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. (1997, March 13…until July and beyond.)

Event 51938 (6C0323A7)

Date: 3/13/1997
Locations: Henderson, Nevada; Phoenix; Tucson, Arizona; Paulden; Prescott; Barry Goldwater Range in southwest Arizona
Description: 6:55–10:30 p.m. Aerial lights of varying descriptions are seen by thousands of people (many of whom are looking for Comet Hale-Bopp) in a space of about 300 miles from Henderson, Nevada, at 6:55 p.m., through Phoenix to the edge of Tucson, Arizona. Tim Ley and his family at first see a tiny arc of five white lights just after 8:00 p.m. in the northwestern sky. They slowly draw nearer (around 30 mph), and Ley discerns a V-formation flying no more than 100 feet above the ground. The lights hold this pattern for more than 15 minutes, leading him to believe they are on one structure. Ley’s report is the most detailed, but there are many others. There are two distinct events involved in the entire incident: a triangular formation of lights seen to travel around 8:10–9:30 p.m. from Paulden to Tucson, passing over Prescott and Phoenix. Some witnesses see a huge carpenter’s square-shaped UFO, containing five spherical lights or possibly light-emitting engines. Gov. Fife Symington is one witness, although he does not reveal this until 2007; he calls the object “otherworldly.” One overriding characteristic prevails: The UFO is a massive solid object, not merely lights, and it appears low in the sky, blocking out the stars behind it. Many witnesses say it is the size of multiple football fields and up to one mile long. Reports vary in terms of the number and color of lights and their movements. The second group of events is a series of stationary lights seen in the Phoenix area around 10:00 p.m. The Air Force identifies this group as magnesium LUU2 flares dropped by A-10 Warthog aircraft in a training exercise at the Barry Goldwater Range in southwest Arizona as part of Operation Snowbird; news coverage later shows a video taken around 10:00 p.m. by an amateur photographer that clearly shows the flares, not the earlier UFO. Phoenix city councilwoman Frances Emma Barwood is the only elected official to launch a public investigation, but she receives no help from any level of government. She speaks to more than 700 witnesses who call her office, including police officers, pilots, and former military personnel. Minimal coverage is provided at the time by the media, even in Phoenix.

Event 51939 (8A5A079D)

Date: 3/13/1997
Description: Thousands in Phoenix, Arizona saw lights arranged in a V-shaped formation on this evening beginning at 7:55 p.m. There appear to have been two separate incidents. Earlier in the evening what may have been a huge V-shaped object passed over the states of Nevada and Arizona. Over the next two hours multiple objects or lights, estimated to be one to two miles apart, hovered motionless over the mountains and were seen and videotaped from several locations. The Government explanation of the sightings was that the Air National Guard was performing flight operations from Luke A.F.B. dropping flares, and this may well be the explanation for the later sightings. However, the sightings earlier in the evening remained unexplained.

Event 51944 (01CDA971)

Date: 3/19/1997
Location: Spain, Karting de l’Escala, Girona
Description: (Translated from French) At 4am, the Girona police officers, M.D and M.C in a car, observed a phenomenon they qualified as identical to “Foo Fighters”, round in shape, orange in color, without any perceptible noise. The phenomenon was first observed stationary at 4m from the ground, 40m away, just above the karting. When the police officers wanted to take a photo with the camera on board, the UFO made a sudden approach towards the patrol car, before accelerating incredibly and disappearing in the sky. The sky was clear without clouds, there was no wind or rain, the temperature was 10°C.

Event 51945 (0C69BA2A)

Date: 3/19/1997
Description: In 1997 at 4:05 a.m. police in La Escala, Spain saw a yellow light near the ground change color to orange. There was a 4-meter tall shadowy human figure in the center of the light. One witness attempted to photograph it, but the light dimmed, became oval shaped, and vanished. Flattened grass was discovered at the site. Seven hours later, at 5:05 EST, a driver in Nottingham, New Hampshire watched several golf ball sized balls-of-light zig-zag only a meter away from near his driver’s side outside car mirror. He heard a voice in his head that told him to drive west. He refused and drove north instead. He then lost control of the car and saw a cylindrical UFO approach, the approximate size of a small 12-passenger bus. The telepathic messages he received included warnings about future events.

Event 51949 (BA1B9D2E)

Date: 3/24/1997
Location: Great Britain, Sheffield
Description: (Translated from French) Monday night half of the city of Sheffield was left without electricity around 11:45 pm. In the night, around the same time, there was an alert in the Peak district after the observation of what seemed to be an airplane flying very low above the marshes. This observation ended with a red light flash and a trail of smoke. Other people, including a group observing the Hale-Bopp comet, said they saw an object followed by smoke and a strange red glow on the marshes. A few minutes later a couple heard a loud explosion that shook their house near Strines Inn. Having found nothing after their personal searches, these witnesses called the police. The police officers who arrived on the scene saw what they believed to be a plume of smoke rising from the marshes towards a wooded area. They said there had been no distress call in the area and the Civil Aviation Authority said there was no missing plane. The West Yorkshire police and the RAF were called in to carry out aerial searches in the marshy area around Bolsterstone, while the local police and military carried out searches on the ground. Nearly 100 military personnel scoured over 40 square miles, without finding any wreckage. The searches continue with little hope of finding anything. It would be a strange observation of a crash without any fatalities. After the strange observations of the last few weeks in the suburban area of Sheffield, rumors have been circulating after it was revealed that researchers were examining a video sequence showing an object flying very slowly. This film showing an object flying with flashing lights was taken by a man who was outside observing Hale-Bopp, on the same night as the events described above. Scientists from the University of Edinburgh, seismology department, also revealed that they had recorded a sound explosion on their equipment, immediately after the observation in South Yorkshire. They say that this supersonic bang could only have been caused by the Concorde, a military plane flying low, or by the fall of a fairly large meteorite. However, any attempt to contact the Ministry of Defense or the RAF has failed. The police confirm having received 40 different calls from witnesses describing the phenomenon as a single wing flying low over northern Sheffield, or of triangular shape. (English report received by AREPS on March 30, 1997) IN REALITY: the RAF was questioned in Parliament and specified that it was involved in a low-altitude flight exercise that night with jets flying at 250 feet (80 to 90 meters) altitude and that this was part of the specific training. The Tornado planes were not interceptors but Gr 1 bombers from the Marham base

Event 51950 (1A9CFAE3)

Date: 3/24/1997
Location: Howden Moors, Yorkshire, England
Description: 10:00 p.m. Reports come in from the public that there is a low-flying aircraft over Howden Moors, Yorkshire, England. These reports soon turn into accounts of bright flashes, loud booming noises, and “several plumes of black smoke” rising from somewhere in the woodlands of the open countryside. Several search operations from several different counties are launched, both on foot and in the air. These continue through the night. The main concern is that a light aircraft or a helicopter has come down. However, no survivors or any wreckage is discovered during the search, which goes on well into the following day. At one stage, no-fly zones are put in place, an action that some UFO researchers later find suspicious—particularly when there are commercial airliners “stacking” as a result. Despite all of this activity, the official word from the military is that there is no crash at all. It is simply a mistaken sighting—despite many reports from the general public. Soon, rumors circulate from the many volunteer searchers. The most prominent comes from a unit of Yorkshire Water workers who happen to be in the area. They see a wrecked pile of metal in a clearing and a “military presence” that is loading “body bags” onto a Sea King helicopter. When the military is confronted with this, they claim they are merely moving equipment. An explanation remains elusive, although a military exercise did take place, at least 3 groups of observers reported UFO-like sightings, the sonic events did take place, and at least 1–2 civilian aircraft are reported in the area.

Description: 3:30 p.m. The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office takes a 911 call from a man later identified as Richard Ford, reporting a group suicide in a house in Rancho Santa Fe, California. Two deputies find 39 bodies of identically dressed, androgynous-looking men and women. Autopsies establish that each had drunk a lethal combination of vodka and barbiturates then smothered themselves with a plastic bag. Videotaped statements left behind explain that the suicides, members of a religious millenarian cult called Heaven’s Gate, were leaving their “earthly vehicles” behind and expect to board a spacecraft trailing Comet Hale-Bopp. It was founded in 1974 and led by Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles (formerly called Bo and Peep).

Event 51958 (1F46EA26)

Date: 3/31/1997
Location: Finland, Rovaniemi (north of the country)
Description: (Translated from French) Ufologists observed an aerial battle between an air force jet and a squadron of five UFOs, according to Lars Osterman. They came to know of the affair because of the calls of the pilot (whose name will not be disclosed) and who kept repeating that he had trouble. His plane was an F-18A Hornet of the Finnish Air Force Suomen Ilmaviomat based at Lapin Lennosto 400 km north of Helsinki. The F-18 had taken off for a routine 960 km patrol along the border with Russia. As it flew over the frozen tundra southeast of Lake Inarijarvi, the pilot suddenly saw three UFOs (discs) flying in the direction of the northeast. Approaching to get a better look at what they were, he saw that there were 5 discs instead of 3. He alerted the base by radio and received the order to intercept the objects. The five UFOs shone with an orange color and suddenly veered towards the northwest. The F-18 chased them to Ivalo, a town 200 km north of Rovaniemi. From there the F-18 chased the discs towards the west up to above Inari, where, after a failed interception, the UFOs took the course towards the east and disappeared at high speed and high altitude above Lake Inarijarvi. At the moment the formation was breaking up the pilot had asked for permission to fire. Permission granted to fire at will. The pilot went towards one of the discs and, finding himself exactly behind it, made the intimidation maneuver. But then he suddenly heard in his helmet an alarm sound. The on-board computer was cut off and the 20 mm cannon ready to fire had returned to its waiting position. Wanting then to use the air-to-air missiles, a red malfunction light began to blink. The UFOs left at Mach 4 or 5. Finally none of the flight equipment was affected and the pilot was able to return safely to the base. The last time he saw the UFOs was in the direction of Talvikula in Russia.

Event 51963 (5A47B409)

Date: 4/2/1997
Description: In 1997, Air Force Captain and A-10 pilot Craig Button’s mysterious crash and disappearance just after the Phoenix Lights UFO incident raised questions, with the Air Force ultimately labeling it a suicide. It took the Air Force three weeks to find the wreckage of Button’s A-10 Thunderbolt II, which had apparently crashed into a Colorado mountain side known as Gold Dust Peak. Investigative journalist William Warwick, inspired by an insider’s revelation, delved into the case. The insider claimed to have been the person Button contacted before his disappearance, expressing concern about losing control of his aircraft. This led Warwick to investigate the possibility of Button’s plane being remotely controlled by a clandestine group. He identified an uncontrolled airpark named Mogollon outside radar range, suggesting it might have been used for a covert operation. Warwick questioned whether Button had been lured there under false pretenses, thinking he was meeting a reporter, only to meet with foul play. The motive behind Button’s and another pilot’s deaths could be linked to their knowledge of classified information.

Warwick emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into these incidents and the importance of protecting UAP whistleblowers who might have vital information. The article underscored the call for transparency and accountability in unraveling the mysteries surrounding these events.

Event 51972 (865BFF09)

Date: 4/8/1997
Location: Belgium, Lochristie (East Flanders)
Description: (Translated from French) Christophe W. left as usual on his bicycle to go to his workplace. It was 5:40 in the morning. Five minutes later, as he was riding on the Anvers road, he saw to his right, 500 meters away and at 7° elevation, a bright light, sometimes hidden by the presence of houses. A few minutes later, when he arrived near the parking lot of his workplace, this light flew over the parking lot, preventing the young man, who was scared, from venturing there. The phenomenon, which in the meantime had presented itself as three large white lights in a triangular arrangement, with a small red light blinking from time to time in the center of this configuration, was positioned obliquely above the Anvers road, at 91 meters altitude. Held at arm’s length it measured 11.5 cm and the calculations made gave it a real size varying, according to the degrees of angle of observation, between 43 and 66 meters. The phenomenon was silent. There, above the witness and the parking lot, this thing began to zigzag, do loopings, execute a lot of incredible maneuvers, for more than ten minutes. It was only when the young man’s boss arrived at the parking lot in a car that the phenomenon returned from where it had come, but on the other side of the road. Total duration of the observation: 20 to 25 minutes. Consequences: fear that persists: the boy never ventures alone on the parking lot in the early hours of the morning.

Event 51977 (FA95FFCB)

Date: 4/10/1997
Locations: Pentagon; Portland, Oregon
Description: Rear Adm. Thomas R. Wilson, vice director of intelligence for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, meets in a Pentagon conference room with former astronaut Edgar Mitchell and UFO Disclosure founder Steven M. Greer to discuss the rogue nature of certain “special access programs” (SAPs) connected to the study of alien technology that are dominated by private contractors. Others allegedly there are retired Cmdr. Will Miller, Adm. Mike Crawford, Gen. Patrick Hughes, Shari Adamiak (Greer’s assistant), and Stephen Lovekin. Greer claims he has extracted a pledge from Wilson during the meeting to investigate SAPs involving UFO technology. But Wilson soon reports that he doesn’t have the proper security clearance to inspect those files. As Greer informs a Portland, Oregon, audience in 2001, Wilson says, “‘I am horrified that this is true. I have been in plenty of black projects, but when we tried to get into this one,’ he was told, and I quote, ‘Sir, you do not have a need to know.’ The head of intelligence Joint Staffs. You don’t have a need to know. Neither did the CIA director, and neither did the president.” In a July 4, 2008, appearance on Larry King Live, Mitchell tells the audience he had learned the admiral “had found the people responsible for the cover-up and for the people who were in the know and were told, I’m sorry, admiral, you do not have need to know here and so, goodbye.” Shortly afterward, Wilson admits meeting with Mitchell but denies he was ever refused access.

Event 51978 (39145F57)

Date: 4/15/1997
Description: A woman reported seeing red and white lights flashing outside her home in Bridgeton, New Jersey late at night. She next remembered seeing a hundred white lights moving in unison like a swarm of bees, each carrying its own light in formation. She then experienced three hours of missing time. She can recall seeing a man inside a plastic looking column filled with liquid, with blue electricity flowing through it. She woke up violently ill, and with a scar on her face. While this was occurring her next door neighbor also woke up with facial burns, but he had no recollection of anything unusual happening.

Event 51997 (877E4D1D)

Date: 4/27/1997
Location: Croatia, near Zagorje
Description: (Translated from French) Television reported something strange at 8:15 PM in Ziva Istina (Living Truth). The presenter said that a UFO appeared above Zagorje. It had the appearance of a giant cigar. It was a man who at 6:45 PM was watching television and suddenly saw a red light coming from the window. He left his chair and went out into the garden to see what it was. About 160 meters above a field he saw a fireball hovering just above the ground. He described it as a black ball surrounded by fire glows, about 12 meters high and 15 meters wide with three “holes” that could be considered as portholes. After the UFO left, a 28 m. diameter crop circle was found in the field. He also found footprints larger than his own, which were size US 9. The witness, however, gave different versions of his observation and is not very credible.

Description: The witness was driving on a business trip when he had a flat tire at 10 p.m. near Longview, Texas. A truck driver stopped to assist him when they both became aware of a UFO about 100 yards away. There looked to be humanoid figures dressed in white clothing moving around inside the craft. The object was circular and emitted an occasional flash of light. The truck driver walked closer to the object in order to get a better look. He suddenly ran back in fear yelling that they had to leave quick. Both men got into the truck and began speeding away. Shortly after the UFO silently passed over the truck and quickly flew out of sight. At the same time in Houston, Texas two witnesses reported seeing 10-13 amber-colored lights fly over in a V-shaped formation.

Event 52003 (8C1D6C79)

Date: 4/29/1997
Location: Italy, Udine region
Description: (Translated from French) The media were making fun of the announcement made by Antonio Chiumiento, claiming to have collected testimony of an abduction that occurred in the outskirts of Udine, shortly after midnight on April 29. A 22-year-old man, accompanied by some friends, was doing pranotherapy (breathing exercises) when he was allegedly sucked up by a red conical beam of light that lifted him, passed him through walls, and then disappeared from his friends’ sight. Looking out the window, they saw rotating luminous trails in the sky that gradually dissolved. Four hours later, the young man reappeared on the couch from which he had been “captured” and told that he had found himself inside a luminous room, where three monstrous-looking beings at least 3 meters tall had examined him, taken blood samples, and injected him with a substance in his arm. This product caused inflammation and he had to undergo an operation as a result of the injection

Reason: the signature captured by the F-16 radars would finally be that of a natural phenomenon related to temperature differences. Consequently, the hundreds of testimonies must “probably” refer to the observation of the prototype LoFlyte.

Location: Netherlands, Udenhout and elsewhere
Description: (Translated from French) At 12:13, horses started galloping like crazy. Veterinarians believe there must have been something in the air: a storm, an earthquake. The KNMI (Dutch Meteorological Institute) finds no explanation. Suddenly, all at the same time, the horses in the riding school, ridden by children, reared and threw the children to the ground. At the same time, between Riel and Goirle, a horse in harness started galloping. In Hilvarenbeek, citizens saw with amazement a wild horse galloping in the street. All the owners are unanimous in declaring that they have never seen anything like it in their lives. The most astonishing thing is that all the horses started running like crazy at the same time, while Mr. H. Haak from the weather station sees nothing on the seismographs, although he admits that there are sometimes small shocks in Hilvarenbeek. (1997, May 1 (or 5?))

In the next six months, 24 more test flights of the X-36 are scheduled. Rod Baily, the X-36 program manager said that the craft has the look of what aircraft of the future will be like. There are already two 28/100 scale models of the X-36, which have neither vertical nor horizontal tail. They measure 18 feet (a bit less than 3 m) long, 3 feet (m) high, 10 feet (3 m) wide with wings included, and weigh 1250 pounds (600 to 620 kg). They are equipped with a 350 kg thrust Williams Research F112 turbofan engine. The aircraft is controlled by a pilot on the ground, in a cockpit cabin, equipped like a regular aircraft, with a headset. The technologies necessary for this pilotless combat aircraft are being studied jointly by NASA and McDonell Douglas.

Mr. Tosti decided to drive to Snoddy Road at an isolated location to signal to the objects with a flashlight. Two of the UFOs descended to his location. When one object approached his vehicle, the engine and electrical system sputtered. Tosti was able to discern a metallic, disc-shaped object, with a small round dome and an even smaller dome on top. A blue glow emanated from the bottom of the craft. Around the middle of the object was a row of square windows, showing a yellow to amber colored light within. Inside the craft he could see the silhouettes of several individuals with large heads. He attempted to communicate with them by waving his arms, but he was apparently ignored. Two smaller bright spherical objects emerged from the disc, which then shot up at very high speed, joining the other objects in the sky. After a short while, the UFOs left the area.

Event 52026 (3BD6CFEC)

Date: 5/23/1997
Location: Portugal, Quintas (Tras os Montes)
Description: (Translated from French) In the village of Quintas, about twenty people observed around 22 o’clock an extraordinary phenomenon. It was something quite large, round at first, and then transformed like a daisy flower. This thing approached, went behind a hill, and then reappeared on the other side. The color was a deep, luminous blue, but it did not illuminate anything and was apparently at an altitude of 60 to 70 meters. Its diameter was about 20 meters. Some saw a religious symbol, since this light very much resembled the rosette of church stained glass windows. The newspapers of Coimbra spoke of it abundantly. (Bruno Miguel Lopes and Luis Ribeiro) (UFO Roundup Vol. 2 No. 22 - 1.6.97 - Joseph Trainor) IN REALITY: Ufologist Joao Cardoso made his investigation and saw the light cannon in Lamego, yet 100 km away from Quintas. But since the sky was cloudy and the cloud layer was low, the powerful machine of Lamego is probably the cause of the observation.

Description: About 11:20 a.m. Writer Georgina Howell is crossing the tarmac at Kirkwall Airport in Orkney, Scotland, to board British Airways Flight 8773 to Aberdeen when she notices a silvery chevron about 45° in the sky to her left. She thinks it is odd, but suspects it is some kind of aircraft. Suddenly she falls down on her face, sustaining some minor scrapes and bruises. Asked why she fell, she says she was looking at a sky object, but it is no longer there. Later, she hears about chevron-shaped objects over Phoenix.

Event 52029 (0E9689D9)

Date: 6/1997
Locations: Roswell, New Mexico; Russia; Germany; Hughes Aircraft; Bell Labs; Moon
Description: US Army Col. Philip J. Corso writes, with William J. Birnes, The Day after Roswell, a tell-all memoir about the Roswell, New Mexico, crash and retrieval. Much of the book is an account of Corso’s claims that he was assigned to a secret government program that provided some material recovered from a crashed spacecraft to private industry (without saying where the items came from) to reverse engineer them for corporate use. Corso was a special assistant to Lt. Gen. Arthur Trudeau, who headed Army Research and Development, and was in charge of the Foreign Technology Desk. In this position, he would take technological artifacts obtained from Russian, German, and other foreign sources and have American companies (including IBM, Hughes Aircraft, Bell Labs) reverse engineer that technology. The book contends that several aspects of modern technology such as fiber optics and integrated circuits were developed by using information taken from the craft. Corso also claims the world was “at war” with extraterrestrials and that the Strategic Defense Initiative project in the 1980s was part of that campaign successfully concluded in Earth’s favor. The book concludes with information about Project Horizon, a 1959 US Army plan to construct a base on the Moon. When first released, the book contains a foreword written by Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-S.C.), for whom Corso had served as an aide. Thurmond writes, “He has many interesting stories to share with individuals interested in military history, espionage, and the workings of our Government.” The foreword does not mention anything about UFOs, since Thurmond has assumed the book is a straightforward memoir. When he learns about the book’s contents, Thurmond asks for his foreword to be retracted, saying, “I know of no such ‘cover-up,’ and do not believe one existed.”

Corso states in the 1950s he was a special assistant to Lt. Gen. Arthur Trudeau, head of Army Research and Development in charge of the Foreign Technology Desk. Corso claims some fiber optics, integrated circuits, and night vision technology was derived from information taken from a UAP crash at Roswell, NM and delivered to US companies like Hughes Aircraft, Bell Labs and IBM. Corso also states INSCOM provided some funding to a UAP working group, and that “mental phenomena” could assist in the remote piloting of spacecraft and missile countermeasures.

Event 52036 (13F2071B)

Date: 6/5/1997
Description: At 2:30 a.m. Nathalie, a young French woman, was sitting in her car with a companion in La Houssaye-en-Brie, France when both saw an object in the sky that resembled a wheel; it was made of 12 projecting lights revolving counterclockwise. The observation lasted almost two hours, during which they were unable to move. After the sighting they both went to sleep. Later, under hypnotic regression, Nathalie remembered being lifted through a conical light beam into the hovering craft. Aboard the craft she was submitted to various medical tests, and apparently given an implant. She witnessed another woman also being subjected to the same treatment. She described her abductors as being “very tall”, about two meters in height, and assisted by a smaller “woman.” Some of her abductors looked human, and some did not. In another room, she saw four beings sitting in chairs in front of glass panels. Some of these beings were courteous to her, and others looked to be rather irritated at her, for whatever reason. The beings appeared to be well built, with huge strong shoulders. Their heads were larger than humans and oval in shape, with large black slit-like eyes. Another very curious detail was that they had what appeared to be a lock of hair, tied up tight like a ponytail, that suck up straight from the tops of their bald heads. They wore tight fitting, two piece gray colored outfits with belts. In the room she saw windows in front of a corridor, the floor was luminous, and apparently made out of glass. She also saw a lozenge shaped table, black in color in the middle of the room.

Description: On this night a Mr. Hassan, near Redmond, Washington saw a low level, hovering saucer-shaped object about half a mile away that was glowing white. He had the headlights of his car on it, so combined with the glow from the UFO he could clearly see that it was abducting cattle. The cows appeared to be stunned, still in an upright position, as they floated up into the object. He also noticed “little monsters” on the ground. They were 50-60 pound humanoids with large heads, grayish white skin, and dark black eyes. The witness became frightened and drove off. No one else appeared to be around at the time.

Event 52042 (7244061D)

Date: 6/7/1997
Location: England, London
Description: (Translated from French) Investigators are astounded by a near collision between an Aer Lingus plane and an unidentified object. The BAe 146 flight, departing from Stansted in East England to Dublin (Ireland) had to make an emergency maneuver when the two pilots saw a red craft with blue and white lines coming straight at them north of London. The Aer Lingus jet passed only 30 meters above the craft two seconds later. The crew immediately reported the incident to air traffic control, suggesting it might have been a military plane, like the RAF’s Red Arrows acrobatic team’s Hawk. However, all searches of the radar records yielded no results: there was no other plane in the area. Investigators are certain there were no “Red Arrows” of the RAF in the air that day, and as for the Hawks, the last one to land had been on the ground for four hours already. (…) (The Daily Telegraph newspaper Friday 13 June 1997 and The Ottawa Citizen 13.67.1997) - The incident occurred at 9000 feet altitude above Hertfordshire. Aer Lingus still has no explanation, especially since the pilots say it was not an airplane at all.

Location: USA, Tampa, Florida
Description: (Translated from French) In broad daylight, around 11:20, Olga Booker, the initial witness, was driving towards her home when she saw what she thought was a balloon with red and white lights. It wasn’t a balloon, she realized, and she began to follow the phenomenon in her car. The object resembled a large iron pot and flew slowly from south to north above the trees and houses. It was pyramidal in shape (note from vog: I want a pyramid-shaped pot too…) with one side slightly curved, and had a pulsating orange-red light in each corner. There was also a series of small blinking white lights. She estimated the number to be around thirty, on the back side, which she saw while following the phenomenon. It was flat, like a pancake (vog: pot or pancake? In my opinion the witness had an empty stomach crying out for food) without wings or tail, without portholes. There were also lines, scratches or small grains going from left to right giving a copper reflection to the surface.

Event 52055 (CA577A38)

Date: 6/18/1997
End date: 6/19/1997
Location: Góra Świętej Anny, Poland
Description: Evening. Grzegorz Nowak and four friends are visiting the monument to the Battle of Annenberg in Góra Świętej Anny, Poland, when they see glowing fireballs playing about on the hill and a large orange sphere. They try to communicate with the fireballs by flashing their headlights on and off; one of the lights responds with a similar signal. They watch other aerial objects and two of the youths have some missing time of more than an hour. The next night, they improve their headlight signaling. An enormous cigar-shaped object appears, shooting out multicolored lights that hover almost directly above them. Some of the orange spheres seem to transform into cloaked beings, each carrying a light ball. Some Polish researchers consider this a concocted episode amplified by fantasy proneness.

Event 52058 (B294C548)

Date: 6/19/1997
Locations: Arizona; Luke AFB near Glendale, Arizona; Arizona National Guard; Arizona Department of Public Safety
Description: Arizona Gov. Fife Symington calls a press conference, stating that “they found who was responsible” for the Phoenix Lights. He proceeds to make light of the situation by bringing on stage his 6-foot-4 chief of staff Jay Heiler dressed in an alien costume and proclaiming him “the guilty party.” He jokes that the media is taking the story “entirely too serious” as Heiler removes the mask. Symington also notes that he requested information from the commander of Luke AFB near Glendale, Arizona, the general in charge of the Arizona National Guard, and the head of the Arizona Department of Public Safety. But none of them have an answer for what. In 2007, Symington responds to an Air Force explanation that the lights were flares: “As a pilot and a former Air Force Officer, I can definitively say that this craft did not resemble any man made object I’d ever seen. And it was certainly not high-altitude flares because flares don’t fly in formation.” In a December 10, 2008, episode of the television show UFO Hunters called “Arizona Lights,” Symington says that he contacted the military asking what the lights were. The response was “no comment.”

Looking outside, she sees a large circle of light seemingly at ground level, some 550 feet to the east of the house. The circle is in a paddock at a higher elevation and in front of the trees and the other end. She goes outside, but can’t see any further details or head any sound. The light does not reflect on any of the nearby trees. Later, the light disappears.

Event 52065 (C2D1A8D1)

Date: 6/24/1997
Locations: Roswell, New Mexico; Roswell Army Air Field hospital; Walker AFB; Holloman AFB, Alamogordo; Corona, New Mexico
Description: USAF releases The Roswell Report: Case Closed, by Capt. James McAndrew, stating that any alien bodies found at Roswell, New Mexico, were really anthropomorphic test dummies carried aloft in high-altitude balloons, and the unusual military activities were balloon launch-and-recovery operations. Although the dummy tests occurred several years after 1947, witnesses had been confused about the exact date. Claims of alien bodies at Roswell Army Air Field hospital are a combination of two incidents: the June 26, 1956, crash of a Boeing KC- 97G Stratotanker at Roswell-Walker AFB in which 11 crew members die; and a May 21, 1959, manned balloon mishap, in preparation for Project Excelsior, at Holloman AFB, Alamogordo, in which Capt. Joseph Kittinger is injured. The Project Mogul balloon is still invoked to explain the 1947 debris field at Corona, New Mexico.

The report does not address the dozens of affidavits published by Roswell witnesses over the previous 50 years.

Date: 6/26/1997
Description: In Dunkinsville, Ohio a woman was watching television when she heard her dogs barking outside at one o’clock in the morning. That drew her attention outside, and when she turned the porch light on, she saw a strange creature alongside the pond in her front yard only 30 feet away. It was hairy and gray, stood about three or four feet tall, and had large dark eyes. It made gurgling sounds, and walked on its knuckles. Her dogs gave chase and it ran away, but she called her dogs back. The creature was last seen moving along a barbwire fence. Shortly later she heard a screeching sound coming from that direction.

Event 52072 (38FAB3A7)

Date: 7/1997
Location: USA, Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards (California)
Description: (Translated from French) The first X-38 atmospheric vehicle left the Johnson Space Center in Houston for the Edwards base. Its future vocation will be to be an international space station for crews in orbit: it will be the shuttle to one or the other orbit. (…) Its flight control system is completely electric and although the tests will undoubtedly reveal surprises, the head of the X project, John Muratore, is confident in the results to be obtained. (…) This X-38, named “No. 131” will be launched from a B 52 at an altitude of 25,000 feet, at the end of August 1997. It will then fly, unmanned, completely remotely controlled. The tests will probably continue until 1999, since it should be operational to be launched from a Space Shuttle in the spring of 2000. To land, it will use a parachute like the current shuttles. The Americans hope in the coming years to attach a Russian Soyuz as a habitat for the crew, but if the crew consists of 6 people, a transformed X-38 will be necessary.

Description: 10:49 p.m. Air traffic controllers at Henri Coandă International Airport at Otopeni, Romania, are supervising the landing of an airliner when they notice a light about 3 miles distant between Buftea and Corbeanca and well below the scattered cloud layer. It does not appear on radar. The duty officer turns the airport video cameras toward the UFO and records its image for 2 hours. Through binoculars the light is seen to have a horizontal band colored white, orange, and red. When the airport lights are switched on for another landing, the light blinks out and reappears in a different location, this time looking like two light balls joined together. The lights appear brighter when the airport lights are on and dim as soon as they are turned off. The lights disappear abruptly at 1:10 a.m.

Event 52096 (9A50A2C3)

Date: 8/1997
Description: NASA sponsors a breakthrough propulsion physics workshop at the NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field in Cleveland, OH. Vacuum fluctuation energy, warp drives, the use of electromagnetism for antigravity and superluminal quantum tunneling was discussed.

The workshop occurred at a time when Salvatore Pais, later inventor of the Navy’s triangle craft patent (see 2 November 2017), was working on his PhD dissertation at Case Western Reserve University while serving as a NASA Graduate Student Research Fellow at the Glenn Research Center. Twelve students were in attendance according to workshop proceedings, but it is not disclosed if Pais was in attendance. It is certainly possible, given his Navy triangle craft patent utilized vacuum fluctuation energy concepts.

Note: In the early 2000s, a NASA spokeswoman in a conversation between George Schmidt and author Nick Cook in Huntsville, AL, stated Huntsville was where big picture interstellar vision came together. But “breakthrough physics” which would lead to the creation of a “device” capable of high speed interstellar travel was managed by NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field. She stated Marc Mills was in charge of the Breakthrough Propulsion Physics
(BPP) program at the time.

Event 52097 (05DEFE18)

Date: 8/1/1997
Description: NASA Marshall Space Flight Center physicist Ning Li, with David Noever, Tony Robertson, Ron Koczor and Whitt Brantley of the University of Alabama in Huntsville, publish a paper that states recent experiments show a rotating, superconducting disc made of yttrium-barium-coper-oxide (YBCO) is able to reduce the mass of an object suspended above it by 0.05% to 2.1%.

Li reportedly left NASA in 1999 to found the company AC Gravity LLC. AC Gravity was awarded a DOD grant for $448,970 in 2001 to continue anti-gravity research, ending in 2002. No results from the DOD research were ever made public, though the company still existed as of 2021. Ning Li passed away on 27 July 2021.

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ning_Li_(physicist)

Note: In 2008, AATIP scientist Robert Baker who specialized in high frequency gravitational waves (HFGW) stated he hadn’t heard from Li in “several years.” She was working on HFGWs and superconductors for the US Army at Redstone Arsenal with AC Gravity, and Baker states she “never presented them with a final report” on the contract. Baker did not know where Li went or why she didn’t finish her contract. Baker also states he is working with Fangyu Li of Chongqing University on HFGW research at this time.

In 2019, Baker clarified he was on the Army’s oversight committee for Li’s contract and that Li never delivered a final report not due to nefarious reasons, but because she “didn’t quite get around to it.” Baker states he has communicated with Li since then and she “would play a role” in his current HFGW research.

Event 52098 (527F7184)

Date: 8/3/1997
Locations: New York Times; National Reconnaissance Office
Description: The New York Times’s William J. Broad reports on a study, “The C.I.A.’s Role in the Study of U.F.O.’s, 1947–90,” by National Reconnaissance Office historian Gerald K. Haines in a CIA journal, Studies in Intelligence, that Project Blue Book had known that more than half of UFO reports in the 1950s and 1960s by citizens and aviation experts were based on “fleeting glimpses of U-2 and SR-71 spy planes.” Rather than acknowledging their existence, Blue Book came up with “false cover stories” like ice crystals and temperature inversions. Not a single linkage of a reconnaissance flight to a UFO report is provided. These allegations are treated uncritically in the news media. One-time Blue Book head Robert J. Friend says the story is “laughable” and denies ever having to conceal U-2 sightings. Bruce Maccabee points out that the greater number of UFO sighting are at night when U-2s cannot be seen, and even in the daytime a U-2 flying at 72,000 feet is “essentially invisible.” Haines also reveals that in the 1970s and 1980s CIA analysts devoted some time to “counterintelligence concerns that the Soviets and the KGB were using US citizens and UFO groups to obtain information on sensitive US weapons development programs (such as the Stealth aircraft), the vulnerability of the US air-defense network to penetration by foreign missiles mimicking UFOs, and evidence of Soviet advanced technology associated with UFO sightings.”

Description: On this night Edsom da Silva heard some shots coming from a nearby wooded area in Bocaiuva do Sul, Brazil and ran over to investigate. He saw something hiding behind a tree. He was carrying a bright lantern so he pointed the light at the nearby “form” on the ground. He saw it was a strange creature with two huge reddish eyes, which had a bizarre crest on its back. Frightened, he ran away from the area and did not see the creature again.

Event 52100 (3526C9BE)

Date: 8/3/1997
Description: National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) historian Gerald K. Haines publishes what claims to be an extensive report on the CIA’s role in the study of UAP between 1947-1990. Haines says Project Blue Book purposefully covered up NRO overflights of U-2 and SR-71, deeming them unidentifieds or natural phenomena, but provides no evidence. Blue Book head Robert J. Friend states the story is “laughable,” implying that Haines’ report was created to purposefully wash away
the national security concerns of true UAP. Nonetheless, the news media picks up the NRO report and the concept that there is nothing to UAP circulates, and is promoted by CIA and NRO web properties.

Description: Taxi driver Ramon Velazquez Luna had just dropped off a fare at 12:45 a.m. and was driving on the Villa de Reyes highway in San Luis Potosi, Mexico when he began to see whitish orange lights following him. The lights turned off and then appeared this time in front of his taxicab. The lights then disappeared into a nearby field. Approaching the village of Chirimoya, he noticed what appeared to be a “power plant,” well lighted, on the side of the road. Confused by their presence, he stopped his cab and noticed that the lights were oval shaped. Quickly a fog-like smoke approached the vehicle, causing him to get scared and drive away. As he drove away he saw a strange vehicle on the side of the road nearby, and it had several large headless dark humanoid figures milling around it. The figures seemed to be signaling Luna to stop his vehicle. When he arrived at his destination he noticed that he had almost three hours he could not account for.

Event 52111 (129045B5)

Date: 8/9/1997
Locations: Queens, New York; John F. Kennedy International Airport
Description: 5:07 p.m. Swissair Flight 127 to Zürich, Switzerland, is flying northeast over Queens, New York, near John F. Kennedy International Airport, when pilots Capt. Philippe Bobet and First Officer Kurt Grunder see a cylindrical, glowing-white object, about the size of a fuselage of a small light aircraft, heading toward the Boeing 747 at high speed. The airliner is in level flight at 20,000 feet and cruising at 390 mph in a cloudless sky, and the UFO is 100–200 feet above it. There is no noise from the object, and no trail or wake disturbance is detected. The near collision lasts about only one second. The object is not detected on radar, and it does not trigger the aircraft’s collision warning system. The object is explained as a weather balloon, which is spotted by a United Airlines pilot in nearly the same location and height 72 minutes after the incident.

Event 52114 (813B7556)

Date: 8/11/1997
Location: Peru, near Lima
Description: (Translated from French) At 11:15 PM a UFO emerged from the clouds above the Pacific and slowly flew over Magdalena del Mar, a suburb of Lima. Eventually the UFO hovered 300 meters above the ground, along the coast and near the police station. A policeman on duty saw it and sounded the alarm. A spotlight was turned on and directed at the UFO which appeared to be “light by itself, red in color, with a black dot inside”. Viewed through binoculars, the UFO moved in a “diagonal” manner (note from vog: ??) A little later, the UFO still there, the spotlight was again directed at it. The UFO quickly rose into the sky and positioned itself a little further above the ocean. There it emitted a powerful beam of light, sweeping from left to right and illuminating the houses and boats of the police patrol. Shortly after midnight the journalists arrived with their cameras. The UFO remained in position until around 3 in the morning.

Event 52123 (C0448F1B)

Description: (Translated from French) In Norfolk County (England), David Spoor has no particular interest in the UFO phenomenon. That day, he is tinkering quietly in his garden behind his house when he notices a strange object crossing the sky. It was a bright white cylindrical vessel remembers Spoor. It was moving silently from West to East at high altitude. It seemed surrounded by powerful stroboscopic lights, which blinked randomly from time to time. But they did not seem to be attached to the fuselage of the ship. Spoor has a camcorder at hand (he had recently borrowed it from a friend to record a family event); he can thus film the ship as it crosses the sky. The video tape is of exceptional quality, but this film is only the first of a series that will panic the entire UFO community. (August 19)

Event 52124 (53F166CD)

Date: 8/19/1997
Description: Ret. USAF Col. Steve Wilson claims a secret space program utilizes Vandenberg AFB and Beale AFB and is involved in shooting down unfriendly UAP. Wilson claims the craft used are reverse engineered man-made UAP such as the “pumpkinseed” craft. Wilson provides an org chart that shows Decision Science Applications Inc. (DSAI), which he claims consists of the directors of the relevant UAP black budget divisions from Rockwell, Martin-Boeing, IBM, Lockheed, McDonnell, Ford Aerospace (now part of Northrop Grumman), Aerojet Electro Systems, Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical (now part of Northrop Grumman), Kaman Industries, Rockefeller Company, Wackenhut and Fujika Company. He claims former Adm. Bobby Ray Inman leads DSAI.

Wilson claims there were 36 “MJ-12” members as of 1994, and this group exists in an intricate web that receives funding from Rockefeller Co., which also allegedly funds some of the companies mentioned above, and have personnel overlap between those contractors and NORAD, CSOC, the NRO, NSA, CIA and the Executive Branch.

This flash light was immediately followed by a strange whistling sound. After walking for about 100 meters the two boys next noticed a bizarre creature standing next to a light pole. It was described as short and white in color. The creature moved away very rapidly in a strange, zigzagging motion and disappeared into a nearby wooded area.

About 50 meters away, among some bushes, the boys saw a round hairless head that was whitish and extremely wrinkled in appearance. Terrified, the boys fled the area, but soon returned armed with a camera and a pair of binoculars. They were soon overcome with a strange malaise and headache. They saw the humanoid again, who they described as about 90 cm in height, dirty-white in color, and with very long arms. It had three-digit hands that ended in ball-shaped tips. Its head was oval shaped and devoid of any facial expressions. The head seemed pointed on top and had a very pointed chin. Its most prominent feature was its huge black, oval-shaped eyes. Its mouth was but a thin line and its nose was just two small round holes. Its skin appeared gelatinous and corrugated or wrinkled. They didn’t see any sexual organs. The boys left quickly. The creature was seen briefly next day in the same woods, but it scurried away into the bushes when the witness approached.

Event 52140 (FDADBCF0)

Date: 9/9/1997
Description: At eleven o’clock at night a woman stepped out of her mobile home onto her lattice-enclosed patio in Marshalltown, Iowa to get some fresh air. She sighted an object that was either landed on or hovering above her nextdoor neighbor’s mobile home roof. She could see a large curved window with a thin strip down the middle, and there was a bright spotlight shining from the lower front of the object. She heard no sound. She then noticed a “pilot” with something like a form-fitting hood over his head, motionless. She could not distinguish any features. Two doors then swung open in the craft and several small entities exited. She could not see their shapes or how they moved. The bright light was directed at her and she thought she was being watched. Frightened, she went back inside her house and noticed that the beam was now illuminating the interior.

Event 52141 (838744A5)

Date: 9/10/1997
Location: Palestine, Tulkarem
Description: (Translated from French) Muhand Faras, 16 years old, was returning home from school when he encountered "a strange man with some kind of root in the middle of his face. He had green skin like a frog. His hands were very thin, ended in three fingers, and his nails were very long. The stranger made some threatening gestures towards Muhand, shouted something, and flew off into the sky. Muhad, too scared, didn’t even try to follow the creature with his eyes, also thinking that it could have “fired something dangerous” at him.

Event 52143 (7BCAE961)

Date: 9/11/1997
Description: In West Palm Beach, Florida a woman named June, who had been involved in previous humanoid close encounters, had gone to bed early because she was falling asleep while lying down watching television. At ten o’clock in the evening she awoke to find a Grey humanoid standing over her in her bedroom. She tried to fight him off by hitting him, but her hand seemed to swat thin air. She could see her hand go right through the alien’s body. She screamed out loud, telling him to go away. All the time she kept trying to hit the creature, nothing seemed to work. The alien stayed right beside her. Then suddenly another voice came from nowhere and it said, “Go away!” This voice sounded in slow motion. It was a very deep and masculine voice. Surprinsingly, the being vanished. She remained paralyzed from her waist down, and she was so sluggish her brain seemed as if it had been drugged. She wanted to go back to sleep, but somehow she knew if she did something bad would happen. After struggling for awhile she was able to move and sat up in bed. It took several more minutes before she could get to her feet and stagger into her living room. She stayed up until 3:30 a.m.

Description: (Translated from French) Police are investigating an attempted abduction of a 10-year-old girl by an “alien” from space. The Israeli magazine Yerushalayim recounts that the girl, Suha A’anam, was doing her schoolwork on the balcony of the second floor of their house in Dir Al Ajwan (64 km from Jerusalem). Suddenly she felt herself grabbed by the arm, and looking up, saw an “alien”. She screamed hysterically so that the neighbors were able to intervene in time to save her. She was taken to the hospital in Tulkarem, presenting scratches on her arm. A neighbor told the police that she heard a helicopter noise and looking out the window, saw a kind of “tornado throwing ashes” in front of the balcony of little Suha.

Upon arriving at the crime scene, the police found the assailant covered in the blood of his victim. The victim had been struck multiple times in the neck, with the 22 cm long machete. The murderer was taken to the psychiatric annex of the Modero prison (Barcelona). He continually explained to the authorities that he had received the order to stop his car and attack the other person “by a voice coming from Mars or perhaps from a flying saucer hovering there”. He claimed to have had contact with extraterrestrials already before the attack.

Date: 9/29/1997
End date: 10/3/1997
Location: Pocantico Conference Center in Tarrytown, New York
Description: Through the auspices of the Society for Scientific Exploration and funded by Laurance Rockefeller, who has a long-time UFO interest, English physicist Peter A. Sturrock holds a workshop at the Pocantico Conference Center in Tarrytown, New York, in which UFO researchers present their best data to a panel of scientists agreeable to hearing them out. The panel is charged with deciding whether the available physical evidence can produce results that will lead to the resolution of the UFO question. For the panel, Sturrock recruits astronomers (and SSE members) Thomas E. Holzer and Charles R. Tolbert, electrical engineer Von R. Eshleman, geophysicist J. R. Jokipii, photoanalyst François Louange, geologist H. Jay Melosh, atmospheric physicist James J. Papike, radiation physician Günther Reitz, and plant biologist Bernard Veyret. To present the UFO evidence, Sturrock brings in aviation psychologist Richard F. Haines, German ufologist Illobrand von Ludwiger, CUFOS director Mark Rodeghier, retired NASA engineer John F. Schuessler, Norwegian ufologist Erling Strand, science professor Michael D. Swords, computer scientist Jacques Vallée, and SEPRA director Jean-Jacques Velasco. The panel makes several observations: The UFO problem is not a simple one, and it is unlikely that there is any simple, universal answer; whenever there are unexplained observations, there is the possibility that scientists will learn something new by studying them; studies should concentrate on cases that include as much independent physical evidence as possible; continuing contact between the UFO community and physical scientists could be productive; and institutional support for research in this area is desirable. After four days of presentations and discussions, Sturrock announces that the panel will issue a statement to be drafted later that encourages UFO study by scientists.

They next saw a fluorescent tube of light in a vertical position, about 30 meters away. It was suspended about a meter from the ground. It was pulsating and was red andwhite in color. They ran to their car and grabbed a camcorder in a futile attempt to videotape the object. They got back in their car and started driving away, when suddenly they heard a loud engine noise and a black sports vehicle with tinted windows drove past them at high speed. Simultaneously, their vehicle’s instruments malfunctioned.

Among the more than 500 current satellites in space, about 220 are American. The only limitation, the Anti Ballistic Missile Treaty of 1972, prohibits nuclear-type destruction. In 1985, laser tests were defended by Congress for a period of 10 years. The time has expired, tests can resume…

Event 52173 (19A96DF8)

Date: 10/13/1997
Description: near Gundagai, New South Wales – On this Monday at approximately 6 p.m. a married couple were traveling by car to Victoria along the Hume Freeway. The weather was clear and there were no clouds in the sky. It was warm and previously there had been a strong north wind, but it had subsided. The witnesses were traveling toward the west and were approximately 100 kilometers north of Gundagai, Australia. As they came over the top of a hill, they noticed a light directly in front of them at about 25 to 30 degrees above the horizon and to the left of the first object. Neither object appeared to be moving.

They watched the objects for the next 30 minutes while driving toward the objects. The distance to the objects had decreased to approximately one mile. They were then able to see that one was triangular and the other was a sphere with a ring around it. The objects began to throw flames from underneath, similar to rockets, although at first neither seemed to move. They stopped the car and got out and the UFOs started to move. The higher object was moving away much faster than the lower one.

The witnesses got out their camera and took three photographs as the UFOs moved higher into the sky. The top object veered to the right while the lower one veered left. They remained lit by the sun while the witnesses were already in the gathering darkness. Both objects turned into black balls as the flames were emitted and remained that way. The total observation time was approximately 45 minutes. The photographs showed many details. The RAAF and Australian Army provided information that discounts the possibilities that these objects were jets, missiles or rockets.

Event 52174 (64512E66)

Date: 10/13/1997
Description: On the same day as the Australian sighting, four lights in a row approached a car from behind, being driven by a 30-year-old woman at 8:30 p.m. in Struthers, Scotland. The witness drove at speeds of 90 miles per hour in an attempt to get away, and she does not remember how she got past a sharp bend in road. Possible missing time of about ten minutes.

Event 52175 (CAF16665)

Date: 10/14/1997
Location: Israel, Negev Desert, Tel Sheva
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. Bashad, an Arab Bedouin raised in Europe, and his friend Mr. Massoud, left the Arab town of Tel Sheva in the direction of Beersheba. Driving at night on the unlit highway, Mr. Bashad saw along the road a man standing on the side of the road. This unusual presence made him stop in front of the individual and he asked if he could help. At that moment, the humanoid passed his palm through the metal of the door, as if it did not exist, while the two motorists saw his horrible face of “mutant”. They put the gas without asking for their rest. The entity remained attached to the door for a distance of 2 km, at the speed of the vehicle (75 miles per hour) before dissolving as if it were made of air.

Event 52176 (D70447BA)

Date: 10/15/1997
Description: Duncan, Oklahoma - At 2:15 a.m. the witness suddenly awoke feeling a strange presence in his bedroom. An odd feeling swept through his body, forcing him to close his eyes. His next memory was of being awake at 5:15 a.m. with a strange presence still in the room, and he once again felt forced to close his eyelids. When he woke up in the morning he was able to recall standing naked in an oval-shaped metal room with small windows in the top right hand corner. Directly behind him there was a large door where the two oval walls met. In the middle of the room there was an odd looking operating table with two needle devices on robotic arms sticking out of the side. This was the only apparent object in the room.

Afraid, he began banging on the large door demanding to be let out. He could hear voices in the background. He was then told by an angry male voice, in his head, to either lay down on the table or someone he loved would get hurt. He did as he was told. He was then asked to lay down in such a manner that his left lower back was exposed to the two needles. At the base of the needle there was a triangle-shaped piece of metal and two rectangle designs on both sides. He was then told by a friendly female voice that he would feel no pain but would feel his legs go numb, and would feel paralyzed and unable to move. The robotic arm moved closer to his back and plunged the needle into his back. He felt the clear liquid being injected into his body. He then felt paralyzed, and after a minute the needle device began sucking instead of injecting. It then moved back and the second needle performed the same operation. He woke up the next morning feeling some pain in his lower back with a triangular shaped imprint on it.

Date: 10/16/1997
Description: In Dir Al Awsan, Israel a young girl, Miss Suha A’anam, was standing on her second floor balcony at night when an unknown alien looking figure suddenly began pulling on her left arm. She screamed hysterically alerting her neighbors to the scene. She was taken to the nearby Tulkarem hospital with scratches on her arm. A neighbor told police that she heard a noise like a helicopter, looked out her window and saw “a whirlpool in the air, spreading ash everywhere” opposite the witness’s balcony.

Event 52178 (8245EF75)

Date: 10/17/1997
Locations: White Sands Missile Range; New Mexico; Pentagon
Description: In an effort to gauge the vulnerability of military satellites to laser attacks, the US military tests a directed energy weapon, Mid-Infrared Advanced Chemical Laser (MIRACL) developed by the US Navy in 1980, against an aging USAF reconnaissance satellite. From its location at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, MIRACL sends two blasts of its deuterium fluoride laser against MSTI-3 at a distance of 238 miles. The Pentagon claims mixed results because a computer glitch prevents the satellite from reporting back that the second shot has struck the target.

Event 52179 (77B64767)

Date: 10/18/1997
Description: Near Huntsville, Texas 15-year-old Joanna Alice Stevenson was awoken around midnight to find several strange beings standing over her bed. They were humanoids with large craniums, small mouths, and two slits for a nose. She was terrified. She looked out her window and could see a UFO hovering right outside her bedroom window. The creatures that were examining her talked or communicated by using grunts that sounded like a foreign language. Her conscious memory suddenly stopped at this point, and she could only vaguely remember being poked and probed by the aliens. They took blood samples, then let her go by dropping her off in a large field, not far away from her rural home.

Event 52180 (6466F5DA)

Date: 10/19/1997
Description: The witness heard a strange noise in her kitchen in Crofton, Maryland at 2:00 a.m. Thinking it was her cat she went to investigate. At the entrance to her kitchen she encountered several humanoids, which she described as about five feet tall, with pale grayish skin and large black eyes. The humanoids seemed to be inspecting a silverware tray, sliding it back and forth. Suddenly one of the humanoids turned and saw the witness, who promptly fainted. After a few moments she came to lying on the floor of the kitchen. She looked up and saw three humanoids huddled together. Feeling a surge of terror she fainted again, but not before seeing a silvery flashing sphere hovering over her.

Date: 11/1997
Location: Germany, Bernkastel, Kuess
Description: (Translated from French) At around 11am J.G. and his father-in-law approached the Kuess train station. About 100 meters away, there was a dilapidated facade with a window without glass. J.G. then saw the top (roof) of a passenger wagon pass behind the window. The wagon was orange. J.G. then pointed out to his father-in-law that trains usually run at this time of day. They arrived at the station, which was closed. Going around the ruined facade, they were surprised to find that there was nothing behind the wall. No railway tracks, no platforms, no trains. Only an open space with a burgundy-colored truck parked there. A row of houses and people painting the facades (in white). (November 1997)

Description: 6:00 p.m. Between Minehead and Porlock, Somerset, England, a man driving home in foggy conditions sees three white beams of light that suddenly permeate the fog from above and converge into a circle on the hood of his car. The electrical system fails, and he cannot restart it. After about 5 minutes the light beam disappears suddenly and the headlights come back on, so he resumes driving. When he gets home, he finds that his watch and car clock are 5 minutes slow and that a compass placed near the car gives a reading 90° from true.

Description: (Translated from French) At 11:34 PM, Pilar Olazabal was driving her friends Juana Villalobos Moreno and Carlos Iturbide Masana home. “300 meters from their house there was something strange, an oval thing that seemed to be on fire. It lit up the whole road”. The strangest part of the observation was that the thing was only seen by the two women, the man didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. The apparition lasted several seconds. When they arrived at their friends’ house, the trio talked a bit more about the strange thing, then Juana took the road to go back home. Ten minutes later, in one of the main streets of the city, she saw in the rearview mirror a lit object following her. “It was very close, only 50 meters away and 20 meters from the ground. The UFO was oval and had yellow, blue and red lights”. Juana parked and the object flew over her car, less than 20 meters away. She could see it in its entirety. The object then accelerated and flew away like an arrow towards Estrecho de Magallanes (Strait of Magellan). (November 26, 1997)

Description: Retired Sergeant-Major Cherd Chuensamnaun is deep in Buddhist meditation at his home in Nakhon Sawan, Thailand, when he begins receiving communications from space aliens. The following day his skeptical son and son-in-law Jaroen Raepeth are lifted up from the living room sofa and thrown outdoors into the yard. His daughter Wassana sees a 33–50-foot long UFO outside at treetop level. Cherd continues to transmit messages from the extraterrestrials (who hail from Pluto and another planet named Loku) until his death in 2000. His family now continues the tradition, and nearby Khao Kala hill regularly attracts crowds of meditating UFO enthusiasts. According to the opinions of a theologian from Silpakorn University, this cult is based on a combination of beliefs in ghosts, god, aliens, and Buddhism combined.

Event 52204 (DE092703)

Date: 12/2/1997
Location: USA, Miami
Description: (Translated from French) (Woman Mysteriously Falls From Sky - The Associated Press Wednesday, December 3, 1997; 9:28 a.m. EST) A woman dressed in black mysteriously fell from the sky into the wall of an apartment complex. The inhabitants heard a loud crash and went outside to find the body cut in two, half embedded in the wall, said Inspector Delrish Moss. Nearby there is a 20-story tower, but Moss believes that given the way the body was embedded, the woman fell from much higher. “We have no indication” said Moss. The

woman was wearing a long black shirt and black pants, no identification was found on her remains. She was white, with medium-length brown hair and seemed to be between 30 and 40 years old (…) The police will try to identify her by her fingerprints. The autopsy will also determine if the woman was alive at the time of the fall. In May 1996 a compressed body covered in grease was found in the outskirts of Miami and it was said that this person had been a stowaway who had fallen from the wheel well of an airplane. In the same week another body of a stowaway who had fallen from an airplane was found in the water outside of New York City. [note from vog: ufo = unidentified flying object, right? so as long as the body is not identified… Apart from that, I find it very hard to believe these stories of stowaways falling…]

Event 52205 (477A8C6B)

Date: 12/2/1997
Location: Belgium, Genk
Description: (Translated from French) The FUO (Hasselt) reported that in the evening of December 2, during the shift at the Ford factory in Genk, 200 people saw some kind of large black diamond that made a strange noise: like stones spinning in a cement mixer. When the object turned, all its lights were on one line. The ufology group was alerted at 10:10 PM. In the last days of November and the days following December 2, a similar object was seen by other witnesses in Waterschei, Zolder, and Maasmechelen. FUO contacted Eurocontrol to see if a “Galaxy” was in that part of the sky. This was not the case.

Event 52206 (DCCF7773)

Date: 12/7/1997
Description: (Translated from French) David Spoor is in his garden behind his house when a UFO appears. Spoor has his camera with him and is able to take several clear shots (see right). The object hovers for a moment before disappearing behind some bushes. It then reappears and disappears again behind some houses. Spoor estimates it to be between 12 and 15 m wide, but can’t be sure. Shortly after, the object is seen to the Northeast; it then flies over the sea. According to Spoor, it stays stationary for a moment, then moves at a speed of 70 to 80 km/h. The light appears to come from inside the UFO. Spoor rules out the possibility that the craft is actually the planet Venus; he states that the planet was visible that day, but on the other side of the sky.

Date: 12/7/1997
End date: 12/14/1997
Locations: Brasília, Brazil; Núcleo de Pesquisas Ufológicas (NPU); Ufological Research Center (CPU)
Description: The first World Forum of Ufology takes place in Brasília, Brazil, coordinated by the Brazilian Ufologists Commission. The coalition of researchers is comprised of Claudeir Covo, from the National Institute of Aerospace Phenomena Investigations (INFA); Rafael Cury, from the Núcleo de Pesquisas Ufológicas (NPU); Reginaldo de Athayde, from Ufological Research Center (CPU); Marco Antônio Petit, from Fluminense UFO Research Association (AFEU); and Ubirajara Franco Rodrigues and Ademar José Gevaerd, both from the Brazilian Center for Flying Saucer Research (CBPDV), the largest UFO group in the country. The event culminates in the Brasilia Letter, a document signed by nearly all ufologists present, representing their nations and research entities. The letter conveys the position of ufologists to the Brazilian government to take the necessary steps required to clarify the UFO question.

Event 52208 (08641079)

Date: 12/8/1997
Location: England, Yorkshire (in flight)
Description: (Translated from French) A Boeing 737 of British Midland Airways took off from London’s Heathrow Airport for Belfast (Northern Ireland). At 2:15 pm, the jet flew over Liverpool on its northeast trajectory. One of the passengers suddenly saw a very large UFO in the direction of the right wing tip of the aircraft. The distance between the plane and the object was estimated to be 240 km. Miles Johnston of the BUFORA group said it was an enormous, black, thin object with a very intense light in one corner. The object seemed to be flying very slowly (difficult to estimate at that distance). The length of the thing was 20 times its thickness. It had the shape of a cigar and must have measured more than 650 meters long. It was observed at approximately the same altitude as the plane, 33,000 feet, but all on the horizon. This places it above Yorkshire, said Johnston. It was observed by the passenger for 15 minutes (vog: by only one of the passengers? That’s so unlikely…) Under the object there was a layer of clouds, so the object could not have been detected from the ground. After 15 minutes of observation, the object itself entered the clouds. Before that, it was visible under a beautiful sun.

Event 52218 (F5732D0E)

Date: 12/14/1997
Description: Noel Chandler of Hart Canyon, New Mexico had seen a round glowing UFO over his horse shed in the evening of December 13th. Also, for several of the preceeding nights he would hear three loud thumps on the house, but when he checked all around outside no cause could be found. While in bed this night at 2:30 a.m. he became aware of a bluish white light beam from an outside source. Next a figure appeared but with no real distinguishing features, except it had very large eyes–about the size of horse’s–a small mouth, and small nostril-like holes. He found he was unable to move or talk. He heard a voice in his head that told him that “they” were here to collect a sperm sample. Soon a tube with a ball on the end, about 1/2 inches in diameter and six inches long, appeared and scanned his body. The tube was placed over his pubic hair just above the penis on the left side. A needle was then inserted and his left testicle was drawn up into his groin. He felt no real discomfort or pain. The needle and tube were removed and taken into a floating sphere. Moments later another form came down from the light, like floating in a horizontal position. It was a female with funny-looking hair on her head. The needle and tube came out of the sphere and she inserted it into her navel. Then, telepathically, she informed him that their society was dying out because they could not reproduce. They were increasingly becoming sterile, but by introducing new blood lines and clones they were hoping to regenerate their society. Their gestation period is reportedly only three to four months. Soon the bluish light started to “close in” at the bottom and the beings were gone. However, a strange smell lingered.

Event 52232 (FB1CFF8D)

Date: Late 12/1997
Location: Australia, Kajabbi (Queensland
Description: (Translated from French) A very large UFO landed near an isolated railway track and was observed by the crew of a freight train. The event took place in Kajabbi, also known as Milk Stop, at the end of a Cloncurry line on the Brisbane-Mount Isa route (a passenger train, the Sundowner, makes the trip twice a week). Kajabbi is 1,936 km northwest of Brisbane. As the freight train arrived at Kajabbi, the crew saw something like a huge structure, next to the tracks. It was rust-colored, partially transparent, and long enough to be a train (300 meters). As the train approached, the object rose and flew away. The crew was shocked by the observation and some of them no longer wanted to return to the site. (1997, late December)

Event 52237 (F2BEC53F)

Date: 1998
Description: The Roper Organization conducts a second survey on abductions, using the same indicators as its 1991 survey. This one is commissioned by Robert Bigelow’s National Institute for Discovery Science. Results indicate that the number of potential abductees has dropped from more than 3.7 million in 1991 to 2.2 million in 1998.

Event 52238 (F5848F5F)

Date: 1998
Locations: Roger K. Leir; Robert Bigelow’s National Institute for Discovery Science
Description: Podiatrist Roger K. Leir publishes The Aliens and the Scalpel, in which he reviews his investigation of alien implants since 1995. Leir has performed surgery to remove small objects from the feet and hands of 17 abductees. Robert Bigelow’s National Institute for Discovery Science provides the funding for the analysis of these objects. Some of the findings are potentially noteworthy—the objects are found on the left side of the body, most of them fluoresce under ultraviolet light, some are magnetic, and most appear metallic and seem to emit radio signals. Calcium, copper, and iron are the most common constituents. Critics dismiss the objects as tiny slivers of metal or glass embedded in tissue and find no evidence for radio emissions. None of the objects reveal any apparent technological structure.

Event 52239 (27ABB722)

Date: Late 1990’s
Description: Author Nick Cook claims he interviews former head of Lockheed Martin Skunk Works Jack Gordon. While leaving Plant 42 in Palmdale, Cook allegedly sees a large chart illustrating the lineage of every Skunk Works aircraft since the XP-80. Past the DarkStar was something called “Astra,” an ultra high speed reconnaissance craft that looked triangular in shape. It looked like some triangular UAP sightings in the UK and Belgium in the early 1990s. When pressed, Gordon was flustered and denied the Astra was anything but an old airliner.

• https://archive.org/details/huntforzeropoint0000cook/page/145/mode/1up

Note: Photographic evidence “ASTRA/AURORA” was mentioned in MOD files (see 12 August 2022), suggesting the British government is aware of Astra.

• https://www.uapmedia.uk/articles/calvinerevealed

Note: Counsel to Sen. Robert Byrd Richard D’Amato (see 22 May 1992) stated he believed some sightings of triangular UAP were the result of an illegal human program.

Former SSCI Staff Director Christopher K. Mellon stated in 2021 he also looked into USG/USG contractor black aerospace programs for Sen. Byrd and claims “there is no such [secret U.S. triangular craft] program, we don’t have anything like that…it was definitely not, it was not something we had on the books.”

Event 52240 (377C5A79)

Date: 1998
Description: USAF Master Sgt. Edgar A. Fouche states he temporarily worked at the Defense Advanced Research Center (DARC) in 1979, which he claims is a facility beneath Groom Lake with at least 10 underground stories. Fouche states he was recruited to DARC while he was working at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) at Edwards Air Force Base, which also had underground facilities.

He states a full antigravity propulsion system was developed, there is a secret space fleet using this technology, and he overheard conversations that suggested quasicrystals were an enabling technology for propulsion and communications.

Fouche also claims triangular craft have been built that are mistaken for UAP, contracted by Lockheed, Boeing, Northrup, Teledyne Ryan and managed by the NRO, NSA and CIA. Fouche claims the triangular “TR-3B” provides logistics and transportation support for the secret space program and they house a minimum of four crew members, the top 1% of elite pilots from the Navy and USAF. Fouche claims at least three prototypes were built and use “MFD” technology built from reverse engineering UAP at Sandia and Livermore. Fouche claims mercury-based plasma is pressurized, heated and rotated to create a magnetic vortex field which allegedly “disrupts” gravity’s effect on mass by 89%.

Note: A declassified study of the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) shows advanced aerospace projects were performed by Wernher von Braun’s team at the Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA). A draft DOD Directive shows ABMA was considered for transfer into a “Defense Advanced Research Center” (DARC) that would be inherently linked to the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). It is unconfirmed if DARC was created, and if any advanced aerospace concepts from von Braun made their way there.

Event 52241 (DE8C34F9)

Date: 1/1998
Description: David Jacobs’s book The Threat expresses his belief that the aliens are not doing research; rather, they are carrying out a deliberate and massive breeding program using individuals from childhood onward and families for generations. The aliens create pregnancies, steal fetuses, and grow hybrids in vats and incubators. When those hybrids become children, they require emotional nurture from humans to thrive, so the aliens bring abductees back to touch and interact with the children. The abductees report seeing hybrids that look less and less like the gray aliens. Another series of hybridizations occurs as the aliens breed or engineer early-stage hybrids into progressively more human late-stage hybrids, who are all but indistinguishable from ordinary people (blond, blue- eyed Nordics). Some adult hybrids assist the aliens in their work, while others live on earth and mingle with humans for a time. Jacobs raises the alarm that apparent benevolence from the aliens is a con to lull us into complacency and hide their true intentions.

Event 52242 (64D580CE)

Date: 1/1998
Description: James Cox of Antigravity News and Space Drive Technology proposes seven types of antigravity devices can theoretically exist:

• (I) Mechanical using high speed rotation based on the work of Laithwaite, Wallace, Kidd, McCabe, Stratchen, Delroy, Foster, Dean, Forward, dePalma, Hayasaka and Cowlishaw.
• (II) Acoustical with no moving parts and employ vibration to alter nuclear interactions with gravity based on the work of Keely, Leedskelstein and Tibetan stone levitation.
• (III) Rotating disc/cone using stationary electrodes at high voltage based on the work of T.T. Brown/Bielfeld and Bahnson, Naudin, Hartman, Nipher, Pages, Kelly, Rieken, Searl, Hammel, Davidson, Saxl, Halik, Shauberger, Carr, Hooper, Huaro, Smith and Vril/Shumann.
• (IV) AC/RF or microwave EM devices based on the work of Alzofon, Tesla, Littlejohn, Sweet, Nielsen, Seike, Hutchingson, Farrow, Bielik, Zinser, Peshka, Schlecker and Smith.
• (V) Solid state devices using antigravitic/shielding based on the work of Podleketnov and Schnurer.
• (VI) Nuclear antigravitation that allegedly causes a breakdown of Newton’s third law based on the alleged work of Bearden, Wallace, Dan Fry, GIlbert Jordan, the claims of Robert Lazar (element 115) and Charles Brush. It is alleged that cold fusion with zero-point energy interaction can achieve this effect.
• (VII) Biological antigravity devices involving the human or animal element to achieve weightlessness based on the alleged claims of William Crookes and Russian mirror chamber research.

Event 52243 (58C375F9)

Date: 1/1/1998
Description: At four o’clock in the morning a man in Huelo, Hawaii, who had earlier that night seen some lights moving out the sky over some nearby fields, was awakened when he felt some type of “knock” in his head, perhaps some form of telepathic communication. He looked out his window to see a multicolored UFO emitting multicolored light beams in his direction. He woke up his friend and they both saw a figure standing in the bedroom. Terrified, they hid under the covers and when they looked again a few moments later the figure had vanished. The craft, however, was still outside outside but a little further off, and stayed visible until sunrise. The figure was described as tall, with a huge head and large staring eyes.

Event 52255 (CADC0B7E)

Date: 1/7/1998
Location: Croatia, near Sibenik
Description: (Translated from French) Second week of January. The newspaper “Vercernji List” reported that four extraterrestrials had landed in a meadow north of the port city of Sibenik (on the Adriatic Sea). According to the newspaper, farmer Jako Vrancic was with his herd when a UFO landed without making any noise. The object is described as resembling an iron. He said the extraterrestrials had the size and appearance of children. The farmer offered them to share his snack, ham and dried figs, but they replied that they were not hungry. There was no problem of communication, it seems, since the little strangers spoke bad Croatian. Vrancic had no fear, since “he had already seen such things on television”. After their brief visit, the four creatures returned to their craft which took off. The newspaper adds that Vrancic is an honest man, and known to be rather down-to-earth.

Event 52256 (045739DC)

Date: 1/8/1998
Location: Tenerife, Santa Cruz
Description: (Translated from French) At 1:30 in the morning, the Spanish police raided a building on Barrio de la Salud street and arrested 32 members of a local UFO group. A few hours earlier, the group’s founder, German Dr. Heide Fittkau-Garthe, 57 years old, psychologist, who had settled in Tenerife in 1985, had already been arrested. The Spanish Minister of the Interior, Mr. Antonio Lopez Ojeda, said that Dr. Fittkau-Garthe was charged with incitement to suicide. He added that the police were certain that Mrs. Heide Fittkau-Garthe’s sect was a sub-sect of the Order of the Solar Temple (cfr New York Times for January 9, 1998, “Suicide Sect Leader Held On Canary Islands,” page A-8). The group had a double name. “Centro Sagrado de Isis” (Sacred Center of Isis) and “Orden del Santuario Solar” (Order of the Solar Sanctuary) and had its headquarters in Tenerife. The arrested people were 14 men, 13 women and 5 children under 12 years old. The police spokesman Juan Antonio Perez said that "Dr. Fittkau-Garthe had subjected the members to brainwashing, who now needed to be “deprogrammed”. In the building a toxic chemical substance was found, it would probably have been used for collective poisoning. (The Boston, Mass. Globe for January 10, 1998, “Police Find Poison at Home of Suspected Cult Leader,” page A-9.) On January 9, the police spokesman told the press that the UFO group had planned to go to Pico de Teide, an extinct volcano located 80 km southeast of Santa Cruz, and that at the top they had an appointment with the “space brothers” who were to take them aboard a spaceship. (Boston, Mass. Globe, January 10, 1998). The police had noted a large influx of Germans and Belgians this week, all members of the sect. Thanks to Interpol, the operation was successful, the case was also broadcast by Spanish television.

Event 52259 (30D78213)

Date: 1/10/1998
Location: France, Grisy les Platres (Val d’Oise)
Description: (Translated from French) D. Bruno, 62, a retired aviation technician, and three friends, went out hunting and drove north on the D 27 road. As they approached Grisy-les-Platres, Bruno noticed the presence in the sky of a series of lights as bright as the Moon. He was intrigued by the strange arrangement of the lights at an altitude of 20 meters. As the four friends got closer, they couldn’t believe their eyes or identify what they were seeing. The lights seemed to be linear luminous portholes spaced 5 meters by 3 meters and located on an enormous black mass estimated to be 45 meters wide. This phenomenon was hovering above the road. “It must have weighed thousands of tons,” said Bruno, who had lowered the side window to hear the noise the object was making and was leaning out to get a better view of the underside. The thing was huge, preventing them from seeing the sky above them. A central part of the construction was a lighter gray color than the rest and was octagonal in shape. Below there were dazzling lights. This was the last memory Bruno had of the object. Then Bruno came to his senses, still on the D27, having passed Grisy-les-Platres by 4 km and in fact having passed the rendezvous point by 3 km. The friends were in the same state of confusion. On January 23, 1998, 13 days after the encounter, Bruno had to see the doctor about marks of burns that appeared on the left side of his face and an eye infection.

Date: 1/11/1998
Description: A juvenile sighted a domed disc-shaped UFO hovering over his house in Barnegat, New Jersey on this night. It had alternating green and yellow lights around its rim. On top there was a glass dome and a pilot-like figure apparently wearing some type of helmet could be seen inside. Frightened, he ran inside his house but could still see the disc hovering outside. A strange symbol was also seen on the side of the disc. It also had an antenna on top and other markings on the bottom right under the rim lights.

Event 52266 (56370BA1)

Date: 1/18/1998
Location: USA, Paradise Township (Pennsylvania)
Description: (Translated from French) Hundreds of gallons of a strange substance, like a kind of brown wax, fell in the afternoon on the Snell family home. “It fell from the sky, splashing the roof, windows, walls, barn, driveway. The police don’t know what it is, nor does anyone else. It’s the color of mud but not granular. Our insurance agent ordered an analysis”. Rose Snell discovered the substance when she returned home around 7:30 pm. She thought the boys had organized a mud battle. She was about to say two words to her son Marc, who at that moment was returning home. However, what he told her was very surprising. “I came home around 6 pm,” he said, “and there was all this on the door, on the windows. There was also on the windshield of my car and I tried to remove it with a product. It only came off with difficulty. It’s like paste or like wax…” The Snells then called the Northern York County police. When the patrolman arrived with his strobe light, they could then see that their entire property was covered with this material. Lt. Mark Bentzel has the impression that this substance fell from the sky. (January 18, 1998)

Description: (Translated from French) David Spoor filmed this from the flat roof at the back of his house. His camera was mounted on a tripod. The UFO remained stationary before flying over the house at high speed. Due to the limitations imposed by the use of the tripod, Spoor was unable to follow the trajectory of the UFO. It seemed to be flying at low altitude, but it was difficult to assess as its size was unknown. The lights seen at the bottom of the shot are street lamps. The UFO was completely silent and had a shape very similar to some objects that have been filmed over Mexico since 1992.

Description: Night. Two young men are driving from Opole to Niemodlin, Poland, when the car radio goes off and the engine of their Polski Fiat 125p fails just as a large object flies over them. The lights, radio, and engine come back on by themselves after the object is gone, but they can still see it in the west as it apparently descends toward the road a mile or two ahead. From the top of a hill, they see it emitting a dazzling light and hovering above the trees. Suddenly it approaches them, flying 65–100 feet off the ground, and they speed ahead into town.

Date: 2/2/1998
Description: (Translated from French) David Spoor films an object with a telephoto camcorder. No other object appears in the shot, so the scale and distance are difficult to assess. The UFO moves very slowly from left to right across the sky. It seems to change shape from time to time, but Spoor admits that this impression may be the effect of sudden changes of trajectory. He hypothesizes that the UFO is part of a larger device, as the lights seem to be mounted on something. For Spoor, these lights do not belong to a conventional aircraft.

Event 52295 (C827BEB3)

Date: 2/17/1998
Description: An Army intelligence document summarizes the “Bioeffects of Selected Nonlethal Weapons,” including microwave, acoustic, and radio-frequency directed energy devices. As for RF energy, “There is no sound propagated through the air like normal sound. This technology in its crudest form could be used to distract individuals; if refined, it could also be used to communicate with hostages or hostage takers directly by Morse code or other message systems, possibly even by voice communication.” And, “The phenomenon is tunable in that the characteristic sounds and intensities of those sounds depend on the characteristics of the RF energy as delivered. Because the frequency of the sound heard is dependent on the pulse characteristics of the RF energy, it seems possible that this technology could be developed to the point where words could be transmitted to be heard like the spoken word, except that it could only be heard within a person’s head. In one experiment, communication of the words from one to ten using ‘speech modulated’ microwave energy was successfully demonstrated. Microphones next to the person experiencing the voice could not pick up the sound. Additional development of this would open up a wide range of possibilities.”

It was totally silent, no wind, no engine, nothing, we looked at it with our mouths open. It had a floor with semi-circular windows, everything was silent and it seemed like it was just us two. It seemed like we were alone in the world. I started screaming, but nobody heard us until the object had passed, which suddenly tilted and came towards us. I saw the ventral side and suddenly I saw three very large lamps (spherical) that looked like a triangle (sic). Then I saw a lot of small lamps and then my daughter and I only saw a very deep black hole. We started running. A few months later I had a tumor in my breast, with small tumors all around it. The doctor had no idea what it was but the tumors were not malignant.

Event 52297 (6B90B2F7)

Date: 2/19/1998
Location: USA, Toms River (New Jersey)
Description: (Translated from French) At 10 pm Bob M. and his friend, George P., were driving west on the Garden State Parkway (Route 37) when they approached a pine forest area. They decided to turn back onto Route 37 and make a U-turn. At this moment George had to slam on the brakes in order to avoid a large object next to the road, in a kind of clearing. The thing, in the shape of a saucer, resting on three legs, was only 10 meters away from them. They stared in amazement for a minute at this craft on three legs, with a kind of small staircase, all of it aluminum-colored, without any other markings, then Bob asked: “Do you see what I see?” George replied “If you see a flying saucer, that’s exactly what I see…” They didn’t want to stay there and, putting the pedal to the metal, they drove back onto the asphalt and the busy roads. Bob still wanted to go back, but George refused. So they drove straight home, and arrived an hour later. To their surprise the sun was rising! (It must have been 6:15 then) In their opinion it could only have been midnight.

Description: (Translated from French) Very early in the morning a local farmer observed a UFO in the shape of a pear with its tail pointing downwards, white in color. This thing was hovering above a wheat field. The farmer called his wife and together the couple observed the phenomenon for half an hour. However, during the middle of the observation, an opening appeared in the object and an occupant emerged from it: it was very small, between 60 and 80 cm tall, with very large black eyes. This occupant floated in the air, very close to its craft, for about 10 minutes. Then it went back inside and the object shot vertically into the air, lighting up. (1998, 8 March)

Event 52308 (A143C13A)

Date: 3/11/1998
Description: Author Nick Redfern claims a source who was put into contact with him from AFOSI states a group of current and former IC personnel who believed UAP were demonic in origin called the “Collins Elite” published a lengthy document summarizing their beliefs. The report is not published but extracts are; they state the following: “STAC Reports (I to XI) describe the fall, collection, analysis and present whereabouts of unusual fabrics, foils, parchments, chemical residuals and biological material found at found locations in Lincoln County, New Mexico between 3 and 13 July 1947.”

The report mentions the Collins Elite met at the Loftus Boat on 23 May 1997 and that the Collins Elite was unable to convince CIA S&T at “PTC” of viability of sharing with the Collis Elite the “completed NORTH files on NM discoveries of 1947…S&T at PTC are aware of our briefing from STAC on their files but are reluctant to share NORTH material due to security issues that developed from the Nebraska debacle.”

Note: The “Nebraska debacle” may refer to the 25 November 1991 entry where two scientists connected with the the DIA and NSA allegedly claim in a face to face meeting in Nebraska that USG/USG contractors are engaged in programs that attempt to control non-human intelligences (NHI) and harness those NHI for military and intelligence purposes.

“STAC remain committed to advancement to media and population of both Mogul and extra-terra scenarios for NM fallings and discoveries and are troubled by Collins Elite wishing to advance THE THEORY to media and population. This writer privately engaged STAC Markale in conversation on 17 June 1997 and provided him with an amended copy of New Mexico Origins: Parsons, Hubbard and Babalon Working. Markale remains convinced that if placed into public forum knowledge of THE THEORY will irreversibly and negatively affect global social order.”

“This writer privately explained to Markale that Collins Elite initiatives prepared ot ensure a reasonably acceptable transition of the perceived true nature of the Lincoln County discoveries to public and media, as well as a reasonable long-term acceptance of THE THEORY can still proceed with limited social disorder if handled correctly. Markale is not convinced and speaks for the STAC membership.

Presently STAC-5 is privately sympathetic to the position of Collins Elite; he reiterates the position of CANDLE on 4 May 1991 that STAC is now “in too deep” with its attempts to reverse-control the situation and prevent enemy infiltration and deception beyond present levels.”

“This writer sees that disagreement on our part with STAC is unlikely to inflame situation beyond present levels due to STAC’s genuine sympathy with difficulties created for everyone by recent developments. STAC-5 informs this writer STAC totally rejects notion that Collins Elite’s Learning the Way paper that theorizes radically indoctrinating population with belief and faith — and revelation to media and population of true nature of Lincoln County discoveries — can halt enemy infiltration.”

“This writer remains greatly troubled by STAC decision to continue its relationship with contractors Jamison and Wylie who — according to STAC-5 — are still convinced that the “PARSONS TECHNIQUE” can assist in holding off the deception, infiltration and final invasion. This writer adheres to Collins Elite conclusion based on a reading of the original STAC Reports (I to XI) that any attempt to follow the path of Parsons will only result in a catastrophe of the type warned about in Parsons, von Karman and Goddard: A Door Unlocked.”

“STAC-5 understands this but consistently feels the need to reiterate that situation has gone too far for STAC to back down. STAC-5 also informs that WPAFB sources have had some success using the “PARSONS TECHNIQUE” in achieving spontaneous brief laboratory manifestation of materials very similar to two of those that “fell” at Lincoln County, NM in 1947. STAC-5 is of opinion that if long-term manifestation and stability of materials can be achieved and precise originating point of materials can be determined then this will assist NASA-TZER mission to answer the critical questions posed in our 1991 briefing to STAC, Entry Points — And How Do We Keep Them Closed? ”

“Until final outcome of STAC, NASA-TZER and WPAFB research in this area is known this writer recommends that Collins Elite continues to focus attention on planned disclosure to public of THE THEORY if STAC, NASA-TZER and WPAFB attempts to “close the door” are not satisfactory. This writer concludes that if this hypothetical stage is reached disclosure and intense indoctrination of faith and values at planetary level to radically and rapidly alter current population mindset is the only alternative that may prove successful in thwarting plans of enemy.”

“This writer considers the disclosure to media and population of the Lincoln County fabrics, foils, parchments, chemical residuals and biological material to be crucial and integral in terms of revealing the “Trojan Horse” aspect of THE THEORY. STAC-5 understands this too and agrees that only if present attempts by NASA-TZER and WPAFB-1T to prevent widespread infiltration and enemy deception fail that revelation, explanation of the “Trojan Horse” aspect of the Lincoln County fallings and indoctrination may be only viable alternatives.”

“This writer is encouraged by confident comments from STAC-5 that if present and near-future operations fail to achieve success STAC and Collins Elite would provide a united front that would allow THE THEORY to be presented publicly and quickly and in a way that was acceptable to STAC. For that reason and likelihood that enemy infiltration will not be thwarted by STAC and NASA-TZER methods [deleted] has prepared a unique briefing paper on the Lincoln County Trojans in the event that immediate and emergency dissemination of facts to media and population is required.”

Event 52317 (923F461A)

Date: 4/3/1998
Location: Germany, between Moringen - Lutterbeck - Fredelsloh (100 km south of Hannover)
Description: (Translated from French) Date: 3 April 1998 from 21.30 to 22.00 The night was dark and cloudy, there was no moon or stars when we were driving through the village of Fredelsloh. My wife, looking out the side window suddenly saw something dark covering the sky above our car. I was driving and looking at the road, so I didn’t see anything special. A minute later a large rotating object came from the hill above the valley and crossed the road right above our car. We only saw the lights which were in two concentric circles, about 10 in the outer circle and 7 in the inner circle. The diameter must have been 50 meters. There were no colored lights: they were all white and each one was as bright as the car headlights. The rotation speed was about one and a half rotations per second, so it was not easy to distinguish one light at a time. But each light must have had a diameter of about 50 cm. This object flew at an altitude between 10 and 20 meters above the fields to a wood, in a bend, inclining as an airplane or helicopter would. But there it made a U-turn quickly to return to the road, stopping its trajectory near our car and flying alongside us at our speed which was 100 km/h. Then the object rose up, inclining, and I could see its amazing size. It flew above the car to go to the other side, then made the reverse maneuver. This repeated 5 or 6 times during our journey. Apart from the noise of our car we heard nothing, felt nothing. The car radio was not on. The maximum speed of this object was 400 to 500 km/h and the acceleration observed was 2 to 3 g. (I know my speed, I know the points where the object crossed the road and the distance between these points and I made calculations) It is impossible that it was only a projection in this very cloudy sky. We met three other cars on the road. Did the occupants see what we saw? Thank you. Michael m_michael at gmx.net (1998, 3 April)

Event 52325 (94FB415B)

Date: 4/12/1998
Location: Argentina, Bariloche
Description: (Translated from French) Four UFOs were observed immediately before and during a general power outage. The first power outage of the electrical network occurred at 7:45 PM and lasted until 10:11 PM. The spokespeople of the Cooperativa Electricidade Bariloche (CEB) claimed that there was no explanation for the event that left a large part of the city in darkness. The current was cut off on the transmission lines of the Cipresales substation. However, at 10:15 PM, there was a new general outage and it lasted until Monday, April 13 at 1:30 AM. The newspaper “Diario Rio Negro” reports the testimony of Gustavo and Beatriz Riveros who saw strange lights above the Cerro Carbon hill to the east. Beatriz saw two lights merge above a field, at the exact moment of the power outage. Other witnesses observed bizarre illuminations above Lake Nahuel Huapi. In the San Francisco neighborhood, a woman saw a red fireball descend in a zigzag towards the stairway cut into the rock at Triscornia. A luminous disc was observed elsewhere at the intersection of Calle Fernando Beschtete and Calle La Paz. Nicolas Lavalle saw four UFOs hovering: “there was one big one and three smaller ones,” he said, “the small ones attached to the big one.” Andrea Caparo and her sisters Natalia and Caroline observed around 11:30 PM a saucer “like a tomato and bigger than an airplane” huge with twinkling red, yellow, green and blue lights as well as another longer object with red and yellow lights. These objects remained in sustentation for several minutes before leaving towards the lake.

Event 52338 (1F9CFE17)

Date: 4/25/1998
Location: Netherlands and England
Description: (Translated from French) The London newspapers Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail reported that the Royal Dutch Interceptor Squadron had pursued a giant triangular-shaped UFO over the North Sea. According to the Daily Mail, the RAF radar at Fylingdales in North Yorkshire had an echo of an unusual flying object, zigzagging at a speed of 17,000 mph (27,200 km/h) and RAF fighter planes were dispatched for interception, while two Dutch F-16s also attempted, but in vain, to approach the object, which increased its speed to reach 24,000 mph (38,400 km/h) flying northeast and towards the Atlantic Ocean (vog: weird… I thought the Atlantic was more to the west compared to the Netherlands…) Still according to this newspaper “official spokespersons of the RAF were dumbfounded by the object, which was really being piloted intelligently taking into account the numerous maneuvers it was executing”. “It was triangular in shape and had the size of a warship, that is 900 feet (about 300 meters)” According to the Daily Telegraph, “recordings studied by British and American experts, would show objects changing shape at mid-altitude as well as an object as big as a warship flying at 33 times the speed of sound”. The recordings would be shown in June at the Space Symposium to be held at the RAF Cranwell Air Warfare Center in Lincolnshire." The newspapers published the articles on Monday April 27th, but the RAF press office denied that a joint operation with the Dutch had taken place concerning a UFO. They said that indeed a symposium would be held in June, but that it concerned military strategies in space and not UFOs at all. The Daily Telegraph wrote on April 29th 1998 “that it stood by its story and its RAF source”. According to Graham W. Birdsall, editor of the English ufology magazine “UFO Magazine” this “source” would be Philip Burden, a former employee of the Ministry of Defense, who, when he was still engaged more than ten years ago, wrote small articles for the publication “RAF News”. [vog: IN REALITY I SUPPOSE THIS IS A HUGE JOURNALISTIC HOAX, this is also the opinion of Dutch ufologist Andy Denne of AURA.] (April 25th 1998)

Date: 4/27/1998
Description: At 8 o’clock in the evening Ursulina, the main witness, and her husband were in bed sleeping at their home in Aurora, Ceara State, Brazil when they heard a noise that sounded like someone trying to open the rear door to their house. Their cat was also acting very agitated. Her husband, Francisco, went to investigate while Ursulina remained behind in bed praying. Soon she heard a sound resembling a radio being tuned and then a bright blue light invaded the bedroom. Looking towards the door of the bedroom she saw a strange creature standing there. She described the entity as being about 1.5 meters in height, with a huge head not in proportion to the rest of the body, wide shoulders, a very thin waist, and long dangling arms. It was hairless, had huge black eyes, a small lipless mouth, and little “bumps” where the nose should have been. She described the clothing as a brown tight-fitting coverall, with belts and boots. The entity stared intently at Ursulina. Despite her terror she managed to ask the entity what it wanted. She heard an unintelligible reply and then screamed for her husband. At that same instant the creature ran out the door and disappeared down the corridor. Her husband apparently was able to see the figure run from the bedroom.

Event 52349 (8B264EA8)

Date: 5/16/1998
Description: A very large, dark disc-shaped UFO hovered over a giant hydroelectric dam and lake, Lago de Colbun in southern Chile, causing EM effects. It was so large it covered the valley. The UFO was witnessed by over 30 people, who described it as a a gigantic disc, “dark (not black), with a big orange light on the bottom (middle) and small lights that moved around on the outer part (rim) of the object.” It flew off to the east. Lago de Colbun is Chile’s biggest hydroelectric dam and one of the largest in South America. It is located 200 kilometers south of Santiago de Chile. The UFO reportedly hovered at 1,000 meters above the ground and remained in view for 20 minutes, before flying across the lake and into the Andes Mountains. Witnesses described the object as “so big that it seemed to cover the whole valley.”

According to ufologist Luis Sanchez Perry, “They call the UFOs robones (thieves) because that they say they steal electricity. Before they had the high-tech plant, they didn’t have many blackouts (one or two in a month), but now they have three in a week.” “UFOs have been seen coming out of Lake Colbun near the high tension wires,” he reported, 'absorbing electricity, absorbing water, and some of them have gone at high speed through the valley towards the hydroelectric plant," coming within a few hundred meters of the dam before disappearing.

Description: During the predawn hours of this morning in Puerto Rico the witness, Belen, found herself seated on a stainless steel table that floated in mid-air. To her left stood two short gray beings wearing white coveralls. They just stood there looking at her, seemingly waiting for something. At her feet stood a tall, human like figure, with black hair, large eyes, fine chiseled facial features and very thick eyebrows. She felt relaxed and unafraid. She asked the human figure what were they doing, and his answer was, “We are preparing you.” She asked him not to leave any marks on her body this time, but she was told that it was necessary, and that next time no scars or marks will be left behind. She then lay back on the table and saw two “tubes” descend from the ceiling. The tubes were also metallic and emitted beams of light towards her stomach area. At this point she lost consciousness.

At the end of the corridor she was surprised to see a very tall man standing in the hallway. He wore a long beige jacket and had long arms. His face could not be seen because he was backlit by the light coming from behind him. She attempted to scream but could not. The next thing she remembered was finding herself standing in a different place in the room. She heard a voice say “come on, time to go to bed now,” which she did.

Description: Ufologist William Hamilton states he met an anonymous Colonel who was an aerospace engineer and a consultant to NASA. The former Colonel claims he
worked at several underground facilities and entered a secret undergrad Mag-lev train system at White Sands Proving Grounds. The Colonel allegedly knew someone who worked on a US antigravity program, who told Hamilton the public space program was a “sham,” and there was another “secret space program.” The secret space program uses craft and astronaut crews out of Vandenberg Air Force Base; craft capable of traveling eight-tenths the speed of light.

The source also alleged he worked hand in hand with a different race of human-like beings who were guiding their American counterparts. He states he worked in underground facilities on UAP derived technology at China Lake, Edwards Air Force Base and the Nevada Test Site.

Description: At around midnight a man named Augustin was walking his dogs in Ulldemolins, Terragona, Spain alongside an isolated field when he noticed a bright light to his left. A bright white rotating light approached and disappeared towards the nearby road, apparently coming down to land. The witness heard a moderate humming sound. Suddenly the light went dark and two humanoids became visible. They were both walking on the road toward him. The beings wore fluorescent helmets and boots and tight-fitting silvery outfits, but no other details were visible. His dogs began barking in an agitated manner. Terrified, the witness and his dogs ran in the opposite direction, not looking back at the humanoids. The night before this close encounter another local witness had seen a white light hovering over a house.

Date: 7/11/1998
Description: Sometime after midnight a woman in an unspecified location in Puerto Rico heard a masculine voice that woke her up. She then began to float towards the ceiling. A tall human looking figure with black hair (previously encountered) accompanied her, holding her by the hand. Somehow they went up through the ceiling and she saw something resembling a “cloud” floating overhead. They entered this “cloud” and she found herself in a large room with windows and bench-like seats all around it. The room was dull silver in color and there wasn’t anyone else present. The man then escorted her into a semi-dark room and told her to wait there. The room suddenly became hot and then cold in a matter of seconds. He then returned and they left the room together. She was able to look out a window and saw a view of snow covered mountains. She also saw an ocean that had something like a waterspout in the middle of it. She was then taken to a wall and a previously undetectable door appeared, she west through the door and found herself in another metallic room with a metallic “table” floating in mid-air. In the room where three short grey beings wearing white coveralls with a red star insignia on their chests. Another tall human was present; he wore a tight-fitting light blue metallic coverall with a silver belt. The belt had a buckle with what appeared to be a glistening quartz crystal. The human wore gloves, but his shoes were part of his one-piece metallic uniform. Only his face was visible. She remembered encountering the man before. He told her that they were going to remove a cyst from her body, and promised not to leave any scars. She then apparently fell asleep and woke up later on her bed.

Description: Hal Puthoff (Earthtech), Bernard Haisch (Lockheed Martin) and Alfonso Ruedo (California State University) publish a paper for the Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center and California State University regarding zero-point energy of the quantum vacuum. The study specifically looked at one or more resonant frequencies that may be associated with quantum vacuum interaction for propulsion purposes. A later paper discloses the program is funded by NASA and independent of the Breakthrough Propulsion Physics program (see August 1997), and began in 1996.

According to Italian ufologist Antonio Chiumiento, two farmers, the manager of the football field and a tourist couple saw the phenomenon. The flying extraterrestrial then joined the saucer that was hovering high up. It then left at the speed of light. "Angelo F., one of the farmers, was taking his snack near the field before starting his work when he saw a multicolored object. In his opinion, it measured 70 cm at arm’s length. The manager Angelo B. observed the thing as it passed over his head. He described it as "a humanoid with a big head and a very thin body, like a doll. The being must have measured about 130 cm tall and wore a body armor in the shape of a V and was in a “packaging” of light. Once the being had joined the UFO, it immediately shot off at a dizzying speed

Event 52408 (423DEF3C)

Date: 8/10/1998
Location: Australia, Quirindi (near Tamworth, New South Wales)
Description: (Translated from French) (Investigators: Moira McGhee, Bill Chalker, Bryan Dickeson, Diane Harrison, Robert Frola UFO Group: INUFOR, UFOIC, UFOR(NSW), UFOICQ) Mrs. Eunice Stansfield, 61, had just finished having tea in the garden with her daughter Noelene. It was about 1 pm, and she was bringing the cups into the house when she heard her daughter say “Oh no, here it comes!” Coming out of the house they saw “spider webs” falling from the sky where they saw about twenty silver balls maneuvering and accelerating at an altitude higher than commercial airplanes. The substance resembling spider webs was falling to the ground, on the telephone lines… Her daughter, who had stayed outside, was covered in it. Trying to grab them, they disintegrated in her hand. The family car was covered in it but when she tried to take them to put them in a jar, the thin threads disintegrated. (Tamworth’s North Daily Leader, 10.08.98) On August 11, 1998, Moira McGhee from INUFOR visited the witnesses and was able to collect a closed yogurt pot that had been placed in the freezer in which a bit of the material had been kept. It was apparently intact and was subjected to analysis.

During the observation, Mario, Eunice’s husband, a former NATO pilot, estimated the altitude of the spheres to be 50-60,000 feet. Among the single balls there were two pairs of spheres connected to each other by a cylindrical shape. The observation lasted more than an hour and a half and probably close to two hours. These balls were coming from the east in waves and then began to maneuver. Eunice said that the largest ones measured 5 to 8 cm long at arm’s length (if the altitude is correctly estimated, this gives them a diameter of between 820 and 980 meters. The maneuvers observed seemed very complicated and difficult to follow by a single witness. The spheres were gathering, approaching each other, moving away, flying making right-angle turns, making “mirror” maneuvers in pairs; the balls were coming slowly, then began to move quickly, flying directly over the house. At one point four of these spheres seemed to be placed one on top of the other while remaining motionless in the sky. Then the upper one fell forward, followed by the other two. All this seemed to be done in deliberate and controlled movements. Then from a V formation of 5 spheres, one went left, the other right and the three others then formed a straight line. Finally Mario saw one of the smallest spheres enter a formation of two large ones connected by a cylinder. No trail or emission was seen coming from these spheres. Until several seemed to drop something from the back. This something solidified when falling and had the appearance of spider webs covering the lines, trees, hedges, everything. During the observation Eunice was calling friends and neighbors asking if anyone could film the phenomenon. Weather conditions: it was the first day of blue sky after a period of rain, but the temperature was still cool for the season, there was a bit of wind. In the neighborhood and the region, all the dogs were barking frantically during the entire duration of the observation.

Description: 12:00 noon–1:00 p.m. At least four witnesses at Quirindi, New South Wales, see “20 silver balls” performing complex maneuvers. Angel hair streams from the objects during acceleration and right-angle turns. The substance consolidates into long, white strands that slowly fall to earth, draping on telephone lines and trees. It is white, cotton-like, and strong, requiring a good tug to break, but quickly sublimates to nothing on handling. A sample is sent to UFO researcher Bill Chalker for analysis. Microscopic imaging by indicates it is spider web. Another witness in Piallaway, New South Wales, reports similar material at 2:00 p.m.

Location: USA-SPACE
Description: (Translated from French) The spy satellite exploded directly after launch. The launch of the top secret Vortex satellite ended in disaster, 40 seconds after launch when its Titan 4A carrier missile exploded. The 20-story tall missile rose from its launch pad at Cape Canaveral at 7:30am on Wednesday, August 12, 1998 “nosedived and exploded without warning”. Barely two seconds later, controllers activated the destruct command to break the missile into smaller pieces to minimize damage to people and things on the ground. The double bang was heard for miles around and set off all the alarms in the area. Most, if not all, of the pieces landed half a mile out to sea. Titan 4A was carrying 250 tons of highly toxic fuel. There were no reports of injuries. Built by Lockheed Martin Corp., the missile was carrying the Vortex satellite for the US National Reconnaissance Office, the NRO. This constitutes one of the largest financial losses in US space program history. The missile was estimated to be worth $300 million and the satellite was worth between $800 million and $1 billion. The satellite was supposed to orbit to provide the US with intelligence on “hot spots” in the Middle East, China, India, and Pakistan.

Date: 8/21/1998
Location: Italy, Citta di Castello, Perugia.
Description: (Translated from French) People from one of the suburbs of Perugia, in Citta di Castello, claim to have seen “a flying humanoid extraterrestrial”. The encounter took place on the outskirts of the suburb, where the witnesses saw “a small extraterrestrial bent like an old woman picking herbs”. As the silhouette did not respond to the people’s calls, they approached it cautiously. “When they got to 200 meters from the being, something like a silver cylinder appeared. The cylinder began to hover two meters above the ground. The humanoid then rose up into the hovering object, which then quickly accelerated vertically, disappearing in a few seconds.”

Event 52422 (77353E0C)

Date: 8/22/1998
Description: CSETI, an organization that collects testimony from hundreds of military witnesses, states it believes a covert entity utilizing an “Unacknowledged Special Access Program” security framework manages some aspects of the UAP matter and is (1) global in scope,
(2) has multiple levels of sub-compartmentalization, (3) exists in the privatized
contracting/work-for-others sector, (4) runs parallel to and separate from conventional intelligence projects and black projects and uses some for cover, (5) draws personnel from technology corporations and the intelligence community/military, (6) has access that’s based on project-controlled inclusion and not government oversight, (7) is funded by black budget monies and non-governmental capital, (8) maintains secrecy using force and illegal means, (9) has no oversight from the heads of USG agencies/offices it draws monies and personnel from and (10) has zero oversight from Special Access Program oversight mechanisms.

It is stated this covert entity possesses advanced technologies often mistaken for UAP, including “materialization/dematerialization,” faster than light travel and antigravity propulsion that is a threat to conventional military and constitutional chain of command. One intelligence source tells CSETI the “program” has considered the usage of manmade advanced craft in a “false indications and warnings scenario” in which the manmade UAP attack conventional military assets to make it appear there is an attack by hostile extraterrestrial life forms. The “program” is also allegedly considering the usage of technologies that “hoax” paranormal experiences in the consciousnesses of government/military targets, with adverse psychological effects. CSETI states this has already occurred and alien abduction scenarios are testing by assets of the “program.”

Event 52424 (2CADC7BD)

Date: 8/24/1998
Description: Luis Cuesta Trinidad and a woman friend were camping near the shoreline on the beach in Mazagon, Extremadura, Spain. At 8:30 they were enjoying the view when they noticed a strange humanoid figure emerge from the water not far from them. The figure came out and began moving its arms in a strange fashion. At first it was standing with its back to them, but when it turned around it became aware of their presence by first noticing the flashlight being held by Luis. It took off running in a strange fashion, without bending its knees. They noticed that its head was hairless, but its body was covered with ample hair, and it had round, slightly Oriental-looking eyes that were orange in color. It was almost two meters tall, with long dangling arms and legs that looked deformed. It was very pale in color with its head was shaped like an inverted pear. It had no nose, and they could not see a mouth. It was totally silent. The witnesses felt nervous during the incident.

Event 52425 (8C3D45A3)

Date: 8/26/1998
Location: USA - SPACE
Description: (Translated from French) Another Galaxy satellite destroyed by an explosion during launch. Galaxy 10 has joined the list of satellites that have had trouble this summer, following the explosion of its carrier rocket, 55 seconds after launch from Cape Canaveral. At 9 pm on Wednesday, August 26, the launch of Galaxy 10 was scheduled by the new Boeing Delta III rocket. The 225 million dollar communications satellite, owned by PanAmSat Corp., was to replace Galaxy 4, which mysteriously left its orbit at the end of May, interrupting communication services and TV channels worldwide. The Delta III rocket, 12 stories high, began its ascent correctly after launch. But NASA’s long-range cameras saw it nose-diving just before exploding into a huge orange fireball around the 55th second of flight. A large part of the rocket fell into the Atlantic Ocean 16 km east of Florida and exploded, causing a huge mushroom cloud that could be seen for miles.

Description: (Translated from French) The end of summer 1998 marked the most catastrophic disaster concerning the launch of satellites. On September 10, 1998, Russia attempted to launch a missile carrying 12 commercial satellites from the Baikonour base. The Zenit-2 launcher departed without incident, but after 5 minutes of flight the device made a sudden downward curve and crashed. It would be a failure of the computers. On board were a dozen Globalstar, communications satellites built by Loral Space Systems Division of Loral Space and Communications Ltd of New York. The satellites were to serve as elements of a global system for mobile telephony and costing 2.6 million dollars. The missile and its cargo partially burned during their re-entry into the atmosphere

Event 52435 (78AFD4F0)

Date: 9/14/1998
Description: At a little before sunset two women were sitting on the balcony of a house belonging to one of them, at Markou Mousourou Street in the Metz neighborhood of Athens, Greece opposite Ardittos hill. They saw a small black object in the sky about one kilometer away. They first thought it might be a helicopter but it made no sound. When the object approached, they saw it was a humanoid figure in a standing position. It flew closer and the flying humanoid turned its body once in the direction of nearby Zappeio park and then once in the opposite direction, without changing speed or posture. It started coming down and seemed to land somewhere inside the forest on Ardittos hill. They thought that the flying creature was wearing something like an “astronaut suit” because from time to time the sunset light gleamed on it. After landing the figure went up the hill by making some small mechanical “hops,” until it reached a point just below the crest. It did not bend its knees when it hopped nor did it move its arms. After ten minutes the creature transformed itself into a “bright spot” and then vanished. During the incident, there was a strong wind blowing but the movement of the creature’s flight was steady.

After a minute it vanished into thin air.” Leon Bouwer, UFO Roundup’s correspondent for South Africa, reports that there are several abandoned coal mines in the province of Mpumulanga (formerly Eastern Transvaal) where Schalkrust is located, and that possibly the train crew could have seen one of these gas geysers.

It was during his descent from 6500 meters to the site located at 5200 meters that he saw the creatures. He said they had thick, black and shiny fur and they walked in a human-like way, but with hunched shoulders. “I saw something and what I saw was not human, not a gorilla, not a bear, not a goat or a reindeer,” said Calonica. The Nepalese cook of Calonica was a co-witness. The description of the Yeti is identical to that made by Lt. Col. C.K. Howard-Bury during his expedition in the Himalayas in 1921. This observation took place on the north face of Everest, about 56 km southeast of Dinggye, Tibet.

Event 52441 (A3DD9421)

Date: 9/21/1998
Description: Extension Forest Hills, Bayamon, Puerto Rico. On the night that Hurricane Georges struck Puerto Rico Iris Rodriguez was outside her home doing some washing when the winds began to pick up strength. She went back inside her house at 8 p.m., and soon after she looked out her window and noticed a bright sphere of light making triangular movements in the sky. The sphere descended lower in the sky and hovered above a neighbor’s home. A few moments later a bright white, oval-shaped hole appeared in the center of the red light. Then a figure became visible inside the white light. The figure moved back and forth, apparently looking out. The witness described the figure as tall, thin, and man-like. It wore a tight-fitting gray colored outfit and his skin appeared to be also gray or pale. As the wind from the approaching hurricane grew stronger the witness lost interest in the object and its occupant, and eventually lost sight of it. On the same night Gerardo Mendez of Bayamon, Puerto Rico had gone out to pick up some trash bins in order to secure them from the wind. Suddenly from behind a nearby tree a strange creature jumped out. It was described as short, hunched over, with a snout-like nose, thick black hair, and round black eyes. It had thin but strong legs, large pointy ears, and sharp fang-like teeth. The creature quickly hopped by the witness, stopping briefly to stare at him. It then hopped into the nearby woods and was gone from view. That same night others saw speeding red balls of light over different parts of the island.

Three or four cars sped by the witnesses, who were doing about 70 mph. The cars appeared to be traveling together. As the first car passed them, the headlights of the car directly behind it illuminated the interior. The witnesses then saw in the back seat of the front car a lone entity sitting erect. It looked tall with a huge head on a spindly neck. Its color was pasty and it looked like a lot of veins covered its head. These cars drove at such a high speed that they could not catch up with them.

Description: USAF Security Forces member Christopher Cabrera states he was stationed at Nellis AFB, NV at “Area 2,” a major nuclear weapons depot on the Nevada Test Site overseen by the Department of Energy (DOE)’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).

Cabrera states while on patrol he and three colleagues noticed three bright UAP blinking in a triangle formation. The lights were extremely bright “it felt like it was daytime again.”

The group was later told to fill out an incident form, and told it “never happened” and they were never to talk about it amongst themselves or to anyone else. Cabrera states he was threatened by dishonorable discharge. The next day the Flight Chief addressed the entire staff saying there was no incident the night before. While at Area 2, Cabrera’s colleagues told him they experienced strange lights, disembodied voices and shadow-like “humanoids,” but Cabrera never saw anything else personally.

Note: Former SSCI Staff Director and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Christopher K. Mellon published a slideshow from the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) while it was run out of the OUSD(I&S) on his website. The ninth slide describes AATIP’s DoD Threat Scenario, which states: “the science exists for an enemy of the United States to manipulate both physical and cognitive environments in order to penetrate U.S. facilities, influence decision makers, and compromise national security…DoD controls several facilities where activities have been detected.” It is unknown if the 1998 Nellis AFB encounter is one example AATIP was referring to, but it seems probable similar events are driving that statement.

Locations: Hebei province, China; Cangzhou; Qing County
Description: Four different radar stations in Hebei province, China, pick up an unknown target moving above a military flight training base near Cangzhou. At least 140 observers at the base see the object as a small star that grows larger and larger as it descends. It has a mushroom-shaped dome on top and a flat bottom covered with rotating lights. The base commander scrambles a Shenyang J-6 fighter, which gets to within 2.5 miles of the UFO over Qing County, whereupon it abruptly shoots upward. The UFO plays cat and mouse with the jet, appearing and reappearing. Permission to fire on the UFO is denied by ground control. The fighter is forced to return after running low on fuel, and the UFO disappears before other aircraft arrive.

Date: 10/30/1998
Location: USA, Baca Grande (Colorado)
Description: (Translated from French) In the newly partially built neighborhood, a woman was looking out the window and saw small extraterrestrials running through the garden. This person told her story to ufologist Christopher O’Brien. “It seemed like small objects were hitting the wall of the house at the same time,” she said. “You can see the surroundings because there are no trees at all for about a hundred meters. The small extraterrestrials had heads proportionate to their size, which was about 1.20 m. In their run they were accompanied by some kind of very hairy pig.” The next day, Saturday October 31st, the woman saw a fast flying oval object enter through the garden door and then slow down as it rose into the hall, above her. The object had the color of milk with a reflective band around it, which seemed chrome. The witness was so stunned that she didn’t want to look at the thing anymore, which gave the object the opportunity to disappear. She estimates that the thing was about 3 meters away from her.

Date: 11/1998
Description: An allegedly leaked teletype is given to ufologist Tim Cooper from an anonymous “CIA official.” The document is sent to CIA’s “Weird Desk” among others, classified Top Secret “Jehovah” and discusses several items, including: the assassination of a Russian government source in charge of Project Kohtpoa (the Russian equivalent of USG SDI), tests in Kohtpoa had “hoped for positive contact but was not to be,” Russian source asking USG counterpart if results were
similar at Area 51/Dreamland, and the statement that “MJ Group” was seeking new funding before the “China problem surfaces.” Alleged funding sources for a clandestine (and possibly illegal) UAP management group were the “33 investors” and the IMF. The accuracy of this document has never been verified.

Note: U.S. media has been dominated by claims of a secretive UAP “control group” with names that include MJ, Majestic, Majority, PI-40, etc., but none of this has ever been verified. It is possible the above document and others are disinformation to obfuscate the existence of a real control group, is disinformation from a foreign intelligence service, or is misinformation created by a media group.

The beings had unusually large heads. Terrified, one of the group managed to blurt out over a cell phone what they were witnessing. The humanoids then apparently used telepathy to tell the group not to approach any closer. At the same time they all became paralyzed. After three minutes the beings walked into the woods and disappeared and the seven were able to move again.

Location: Spain, Seville, Moron de la Frontera Base.
Description: (Translated from French) Declaration of the radio amateur D.B.R. with the call sign “Alfa” residing in Alacala de Guadeira, Seville: “I am a career military man assigned to guard duty. At around 5 in the morning, two hours before the end of my guard duty in front of the special hangars 1-509 with my partner Pastor-Aleman, I heard a noise in the bushes, as if someone was sawing wood. My partner said to me: “Let’s go! Let’s go!” and with a machine gun in hand, I saw movement and I shouted “Who goes there?” without receiving an answer and I fired two shots in the air. From the bushes emerged a tall man, more than 2 meters. We did not have flashlights and so we did not see his features since it was still dark. But what scared us were his bright eyes, of a fluorescent green and so I shot a 20-bullet magazine at him. The man did not move, he stayed still. I shouted in panic to my partner to shoot too. But when he found himself in front of the huge man (he must have been close to 2 meters 50) he started to back away, then he started to whimper and put his head on my shoulder. I inserted another 40-bullet magazine. When I was ready to shoot, the man raised his hand as if in a salute, looking at me calmly with his luminous green eyes and he returned to the bushes. I looked around a bit, but I could not find him anymore. I called the central by walkie-talkie. They sent me a patrol and they took me to the commander. When I told him what had happened he said to me: “See, hear and be silent, and that is as soon as you leave this room.” He immediately granted me an unsolicited week of leave. When I returned to my duty a week later, I went back to the site: there was no trace of anything: not even the shells, or even the ashes of my cigarette! Since that event I feel bad, I have cold sweats and my hands tremble just by thinking about it. Yet on the base strange things often happen, but none have disturbed me so much.” (continued on December 5, 1998, same place, same witness) The investigator adds that this military man aged more than 25, behaves as if he is persecuted, and only observes the street around his house in a state of true paranoia.

He released his dog loose to go check, then loaded his weapon, and fired two shots into the air. Suddenly from out of some nearby woods a two-meter tall humanoid figure appeared. Because it was dark the soldier could not make out any features, except that the humanoid had glowing green eyes. He challenged the figure but it did not move, then he fired at it with his rifle, once, without any apparent effect. He then ordered the dog to attack, but when the dog approached it started howling in pain and slunk away. He fired at the humanoid again, but it just remained standing, staring at him. He took a few steps towards the figure which then raised one hand up, crouched down, and disappeared into the brush. The soldier conducted a search but failed to find anything.

Description: 7:00–7:30 p.m. A woman is driving east on 25 Mile Road north of Mount Clemens, Michigan, when she sees a “highly intense,” basketball-sized ball of white light coming directly at her from the right at high speed. There is no sound and no time to avoid a collision. The object hits the car with a low thud, but the car’s motion is not affected. She does not see it again and continues driving home. Upon inspecting her car, she finds a cream- colored residue where it hit the car, forming a streak about 12–13 inches long that is broken in several spots. The residue is saved and after several months it is sent to analytical chemist Phyllis Budinger for tests and analysis. The results show prominent components of kaolin (aluminum silicate), a hydrated metal (perhaps manganese) oxide, and a celluloidal material. Only the oxide is not attributable to the car’s own finish. There is no evidence of heat transferred to the car’s paint.

All four of them notice three extremely bright amber lights in front of them in the southeast blinking sequentially in a vertical, triangular formation. The bottom two lights are about 100 feet off the ground and a quarter-mile away. They seem to be attached to one solid object that blocks out the stars behind it. It remains eerily silent. The event lasts about 10 seconds and the lights are so bright that it looks like daytime. The guards report the incident to the Flight Chief, who tells them not to repeat the story to anyone or they will be eligible for dishonorable discharge.

Description: (Translated from French) Account from radio amateur D.B.R. with the call sign “Alfa” residing in Alcalà de Guadaira, Seville: “In a special hangar, whose number I can’t remember if it was 1-6 or -0, five patrols arrived. We had to surround the hangar. In less than ten minutes we were deployed and then a US ARMY trailer with a cylindrical shape resembling a missile (but I’m not sure if it was one) came out of the hangar. Its color was metallic silver, without any registration number or other references. On the object there was a hatch or a door that opened. At that precise moment the commander ordered us to keep the object in sight with our weapons. In this position we waited for a certain time for the appearance of an American plane in which the trailer with the cylindrical object was loaded. The transport plane took off escorted by two other planes.” [vog: I highly doubt that the cylinder has anything to do with extraterrestrials. …]

At 5:30 a.m. at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey near New York City, a man working at the airport felt a strange compulsion to go outside. When he did he saw a huge, wedge-shaped craft with lights over the George Washington Bridge. At the same time he heard a message, apparently through his normal hearing. At nine o’clock in the evening a dark equilateral triangle-shaped craft outlined by lights passed silently over Bethelem, Pennsylvania. It flew from the east to the west at a very slow speed.

Event 52505 (9DD90E9B)

Date: 1999
Location: Harvard University
Description: Harvard University psychologist John E. Mack publishes a second book on abductions, Passport to the Cosmos, in which he continues to focus on the experience as transformative and ultimately benevolent. Much of the experience consists of a life lesson in symbolic form, Mack asserts. The hybrids combine the human and alien in a shared mission to save the Earth. The nurturing of hybrid children emphasizes the importance of emotion, and the otherness of the aliens awakens a sense that humans are not the apex of existence. The shock and terror of kidnap by unearthly beings breaks the illusion that the world is under our control. Although Mack hears the usual accounts of examinations and reproductive procedures from dozens of other experiencers, he still reads these events as symbolic agents of the larger purpose to save Earth from humans and humans from themselves. Whether or not the abductors are extraterrestrial hardly matters.

Event 52506 (7D1702C3)

Date: 1999
Description: US Navy engineer and Space Technology Transfer Consultant David Adair states he was taken to Groom Lake, Nevada to see the landing of a test rocket. Adair states when he was taken there on 20 June 1971 he was brought to a low flat hangar that was empty; the floor was a hidden elevator and he claims he was brought down 20 stories. Underground, Adair claims he was shown a “symbiotic engine” the size of a school bus whose alloys had an iridescent sheen. Adair states there was no obvious wiring on the engine and his handlers became uncomfortable when he asked where it was from; when he was angry he didn’t get an answer, the engine behaved differently, he claims. Adair suggests the engine may be able to be powered by mental thought but did not know the mechanism.

She also met the apparent leader, who she described as as human-looking and tall, with shoulder length blond hair, pale eyes, very pale skin, and wearing a dark blue jumpsuit. The night after the incident she awoke to find her room very warm and cloying. The air appeared distorted and fuzzy, and she also saw more flashes of light. She suffered from headaches and toothaches after the incident. She also felt hypervigilant.

Bigelow remains convinced UAP is a “scenario-selecting agent” which implies humanity’s acceptance of it will determine how and when confirmation occurs.

He also states the “burned memo” with directives was saved after a President Nixon SCEO ordered all MJ-12 documentation to be destroyed within the Agency.

The draft directives themselves state several things including that UAP questions from NSC, JC or President should not be disclosed unless UAP display overtly hostile intent and “full disclosure” is required by law; Project Artichoke and Project MK-ULTRA will be used in “population centers” to assist with MJ Project Spike and Project House Cleaning; and there is a “psyop” component of the MJ group.

Event 52519 (87CB895C)

Date: 2/3/1999
Locations: North Sea off Denmark; Yorkshire
Description: A British Debonair Bae146 charter jet encounters a “long cylindrical object” the size of a battleship while flying at 28,000 feet over the North Sea off Denmark. The captain observes rows of square portholes on the UFO just before it bathes the airliner in incandescent light. The object comes to an abrupt halt, then accelerates past the airplane at an incredible speed. RAF radar stations track the object, which is also seen from three other nearby aircraft. A Civil Aviation Authority source says the object is tracked by a military radar station in Yorkshire after it enters British air space.

Event 52520 (02F5C522)

Date: 2/4/1999
Description: Jorge Alfonso was walking his dog in Cabo Frio, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil at 8:30 p.m. when he noticed a bright light some distance away. Thinking that it was a car that had broken down he approached to offer assistance. As he got nearer the light he was surprised to see that it was an object about three meters in diameter. Through a doorway he could see a humanoid operating some type of controls. He approached to within 30 meters of the object. Two minutes later the craft rose slowly up and disappeared into the sky.

Event 52521 (26F5DA73)

Date: 2/5/1999
Location: Australia, Roxby Downs (near Port Augusta in the south)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 10:25 PM Jeff Cook and Mick Cartwright, both from Minlayton, were driving south from Roxby Downs towards Port Augusta when Cook (who was not driving) saw what he thought was the scene of a car accident about 1.5 miles ahead of them. There were a multitude of red lights and at least one flashing blue light. A few seconds later he realized that the lights were not stationary in one place, but were moving along the road at a speed similar to their own car. With the added strangeness that the lights would occasionally veer off the road on either side for a few feet. He pointed out the phenomenon to Cartwright, and looking at the car’s speedometer they noticed that they and the mysterious lights were travelling at 110 km/h. After a few minutes they saw car headlights coming in the opposite direction, apparently going up a curved hill. Cook said: “As the headlights got closer, it seemed like the vehicle was going to be blocked by all these lights in front of us. Well, no. In two seconds the red and blue lights disappeared on the spot, the headlights of the car in the opposite direction seemed to be at the bottom of the hill and disappeared… but we never saw them again. Continuing on our way we noticed that there was no descent or ascent at that point of the road, nor any interruption in the row of trees that lined it on either side. There wasn’t even a trace of dust that could indicate that a vehicle had left the asphalt for a dirt road at that point.”

But then, noticing that our cell phones weren’t working either, nor the digital clock in the car, nor the headlights, nothing that was electric, we were surprised. As we then heard a kind of buzzing, we got out of the vehicle. Looking up we saw three lights in a triangular formation and just as we saw them, they started up and disappeared. Immediately all our devices were working again and the engine started on the first turn of the key. The strangest thing is that we were right underneath this phenomenon and we didn’t feel the slightest breath of air displacement. Yet the thing was at most 30 meters above us. (February 20, 1999)

One of the “stars” began to descend at high speed. He at first thought it was a shooting star and ignored it. Forty minutes later, when he reached home, a bright glow attracted his attention about to a spot about a kilometer away. Curious, he approached and encountered a 30-meter wide disc-shaped object that was completely illuminated. Near the object where six short humanoids, running back and forth and seemingly looking for something. Rodrigo began to get a headache and tried to yell out to attract some additional witnesses, but with no success, so he left. As he walked away he looked back and saw the object climb into the sky at high speed. Several days later Rodrigo began experiencing nightmares in which he saw short, gray-colored humanoids.

Event 52556 (80B53FEB)

Date: 3/29/1999
Location: USA, LaVerne (California)
Description: (Translated from French) At 4 in the morning Ryan H. was sleeping like a log on the second floor of the family house, when he was suddenly woken up by shaking in the room, as if there was a medium intensity earthquake. However, he quickly noticed that the shaking seemed to come from the top rather than the bottom and from east to west. He then thought that a big animal might have fallen from a tree onto the roof of the house and he got up to look out the window. To his astonishment he saw high in the sky a big and intense orange light in the shape of a balloon. He then moved to another window to get a better view and noticed that the object was flying quickly towards the west. However, on this course, it would stop and remain still. Up to this point the observation had taken about 30 seconds and Ryan went to wake up one of his brothers in the next room. The two young men (both over 20 years old) then went out onto the balcony and watched the light balloon for about 10 minutes. At the moment the UFO finally started to move, Ryan shone some light flashes from his flashlight at it. Is it a coincidence that at this moment the object stopped again? It was then that the rest of the family was woken up, including the parents, so that as many people as possible could watch the phenomenon. After some time the object suddenly started to move again quickly in the direction of the south. Then suddenly it stopped in its course and the family could see a bunch of smaller objects coming out from the base of the balloon and descending towards the ground. After this performance, the light went out and the UFO disappeared. A certain time after, the family could then observe a surprising UFO completely different. It is described as a big cube with rounded corners, of a dark grey color. The color of the object almost blended in with the clouds in the sky. This floating cube was watched until it was lost from sight on the horizon

Description: At four o’clock in the morning two men, Jose Trajano and Milton Leite, were preparing their boat to go fishing and had just exited the boat storage garage in Santana do Ipanema, Alagoas, Brazil when they spotted a huge cylindrical object hovering just above their heads. The object was 15 meters in length and was reddish in color. The craft then shone a beam of white light towards the ground and a short figure materialized within the light on the ground. The witnesses watched from about 600 meters away as this short being went back and forth within the lighted area, then floated back up into the object and disappeared. The craft then became brighter and rose up quickly, disappearing from sight in the darkness.

Event 52561 (69F83E51)

Date: 4/3/1999
Location: Spain, Seville (east of the city)
Description: (Translated from French) Testimony of D.S.J.M. Two witnesses (him and his wife). Object of a size greater than that of the full moon observed from the first floor of a building at 22:30. No sound is heard coming from this object having a luminosity twice that of the brightest star. The speed of movement was faster than that of a jet, and the trajectory went from SSW to NNE. The center of the thing was dark, surrounded by lights and the general shape was that of a boomerang whose perimeter was lit by a multitude of small headlights. (the witness said that if the boomerang makes an angle of 90°, this object had a rounded obtuse angle of 130°) It must have been flying at a high altitude and at very high speed since from one end to the other of the observation neither its size nor its luminosity varied much. On arrival the witnesses only observed the lights at the front part, at the beginning they then saw the lights on the rear part, arranged in a kind of arc. It looked like a very open wide V of a flight of migratory birds.

Event 52565 (7BF3A04D)

Date: 4/9/1999
Location: USA, Salt Lake City
Description: (Translated from French) Maybe a bird, or an airplane?.. What is certain is that it is excrement. And in the Salt Lake City valley, they don’t joke around, where since April 9th and a dozen times, thick showers of filth have fallen from the sky, so big that they dirtied seven houses at once. The neighbors blame the airplanes, but the Federal Aviation Administration retorts that commercial jets don’t dump their septic tanks in flight. They are studying the “splatter patterns” and the firemen are hosing down the houses to clean them… The complainants have obtained the collaboration of a judicial investigator because, as the mayor of Taylorsville, Janice Auger, says: “It has never been funny. The smell is terrible, health is at stake. Feces have always been potentially carriers of a lot of diseases”. Captain Lee Smith of the police affirms: "It is feces, but nobody seems to be able to tell us if it is of animal or human origin. The FAA, often solicited in the case of bizarre phenomena, is dumbfounded about these “fallouts”. “We have never heard of anything like this,” says Mitch Barker, their spokesperson.

It was 4:30 in the morning. Looking out another window into the street, she was astonished to see a group of 8 to 12 rectangular stationary lights, illuminating the whole alley of the neighbor. The lights were stationary and the whole thing measured about 2.50m on each side. She also heard a kind of deep buzzing. After observing the phenomenon for about ten seconds she was so shocked that she returned to her son’s room. As she went there, she saw a beam of white light at the back of the house, illuminating the whole Dogwood Park area. Glancing, she could then see the white light of the UFO between the trees.

Location: USA, Columbus (Ohio)
Description: (Translated from French) William Jones, director of Mufon for Ohio, reports that three observations were noted on May 16 above Columbus, all three around 10:15 PM. First, a family of three people from Upper Arlington saw for about ten minutes a UFO in the shape of a disk but with a dome on the top and bottom. The craft had a very intense and flashing light at the top and bottom. The whole phenomenon was luminous, the domes more than the central part with a rectangular or elongated part. The object was in the south of the sky relative to their position and flying slowly in the west-northwest direction. Very shortly before this observation, a couple driving on Ackerman Road (2 miles east of the family of the above observation) saw a large ovoid object in the south sky. It seemed to be flying over the Ohio State University, or the nearby football stadium. It had a white, fuzzy and vaporous light above, more defined below and near the base several flashing lights. As they drove, they had the impression that the object was gliding. The observation was of short duration, until they crossed the Olentangy River. IN REALITY: A third witness reported seeing between 10:15 and 10:20 PM a large luminous object apparently traveling at 15 or 25 mph in the direction of the south. It seemed to be following the I-270 route; At one point, after turning west, the thing was close enough for the witness to read the word “Budweiser” on the side of the object. It was an illuminated advertising blimp.

Event 52584 (B841C733)

Date: 5/17/1999
Description: SFGate writer Hal Plotkin claims sources tell him the Department of Energy is possibly involved in “fraud and deceit.” Plotkin writes that SRI’s Michael McKubre is generating heat in cold fusion experiments but the scientific community has little interest. Plotkin also claims MIT chief science writer Eugene Mallove tells him the Bush Administration’s Energy Resources Advisory Board (ERAB) mislead the executive branch when it relied on a fraudulent MIT report that ignored findings of a successful cold fusion experiment.

The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)’s Tom Passell tells Plotkin ERAB lied to Congress and told lawmakers cold fusion had no basis in further study despite knowing otherwise. He suggests DOE is ignoring successful cold fusion experiments such as those by Tom Claytor, and public DOE statements about failure rates are inaccurate according to their own scientists at Los Alamos like Claytor.

• https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/secret_projects/project126.htm

Note: The obfuscation of cold fusion experiments fits a broader trend that advanced energy sources may exist under DOE control and may be subject to a cover up. Triad National Security LLC, which manages Los Alamos, filed a patent in 2021 for aerospace vehicles that travel inside self-generated air-buoyant structures made of low density aerogel or vapor-expanded material in a spherical, cylindrical, torus, pill or lattice shape.

This is a similar description of a high-profile UAP case where an unnamed USN pilot told Lt. Ryan Graves he witnessed a “sphere encasing a cube” in 2014 over the Atlantic Ocean east of Virginia. Triad’s primary client is the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), a DOE agency, and it is comprised of three partners: Battelle Memorial Institute, Texas A&M University and the University of California.

He could not tell its shape because of the light’s brilliance. He watched in amazement, forgetting to wake his parents. Next he saw a small being, about half a meter tall, come out from the bottom of the hovering craft. Again, because of the bright blue light he could not distinguish many features, but he could see that it had drooping ears and a slightly pointed head with very long arms. Frightened, he went back inside his house. He looked out again to see the object shoot up at an angle and disappear into the sky. He did hear a mechanical sound right before the object shot up. Several small footprints were found at the site.

Event 52591 (95F608FC)

Date: 6/1999
Location: USA, Gary (Indiana)
Description: (Translated from French) Eric Carman writes: “I would like to share an incident that I have only told my brother about. It was in June, I’m not sure of the exact day, and it was a beautiful day. I was sitting in my living room around 10:30 in the morning, waiting for my daughter’s school bus. Near the panoramic window something caught my attention: I thought it was children’s balloons, floating in the wind. But upon closer inspection, there was something strange. A high-tension line with 4-6 wires passes in front of the house, and these balloons were flying parallel to the line. Intrigued, I went outside and noticed three gray, slightly oval-shaped, almost metallic-looking balls spinning on themselves and each other as they moved horizontally. A fourth ball, flying even lower, joined the other three. For a few moments they all followed the high-tension line, then they rose up incredibly fast and disappeared. I even took a picture but it doesn’t show much: it was just at the moment when the 4 balls were joining before they rose up. I don’t know what it was, but I’m sure I’ll never forget this phenomenon.” (June 1999)

Event 52603 (28A227A0)

Date: 6/20/1999
Location: USA, near Lava Hot Springs (Idaho)
Description: (Translated from French) (Source: Peter Davenport, National UFO Reporting Center, and the June 24 edition of the Art Bell radio program) Janice Price recounts that she was sitting with her son on the porch of their trailer. The night was very quiet. It was about 11:15 PM. “Suddenly this light came through the woods up above our home. At first there were four separate flashes of light, of an intensity of one million watts. They only lasted a second. It went up to our car entrance and stopped: nothing! No sound. Perfect silence.” Not knowing what to think, Janice then went into the trailer to talk with her brother-in-law. When she came out again, her house was bathed in an intense blue-white light. The trees were lit up like it was daytime. Something was moving quickly in the sky, as the shadows of the trees and things were lengthening and shortening in all directions. “I was watching from the front door, talking with my uncle,” said the son. “Through the trees I saw big beams of light moving. It went from west to east. It went through the trees which sometimes blocked the light. The shadows were moving in all directions, all the time. Then it went over a big pine tree, lighting up everything. I ran to the other side to get a better view, but the house was in the way. That’s all I remember.” The son’s memory ends there. “Then I remember looking down and everything was black,” he adds. Meanwhile, not far away, a retired Air Force pilot was in bed, looking out the window. He was surprised to suddenly see a bright object. Owen Mitchell, also present on the Art Bell program, said he had been retired for two years after 26 years of service and over 20,000 hours of flight. His trailer is a half-mile from the Prices’. He saw “a round object, flying from east to west at an elevation of about 60° in the sky.” He had never seen anything like it. “It was above the trees and really very bright, like the light of a welding arc. It was hard to look at, but it was fascinating.” The whole canyon was lit up, but his observation only lasted two seconds. Mitchell estimates that the object was a half-mile away and at an altitude between 750 and 1000 meters. He looked at the time: it was 11:18 PM.

Event 52616 (8B8F0EE8)

Date: 7/7/1999
Description: An alleged CIA source tells ufologist Tim Cooper the UFO control group ceased to exist in government in 1969 and became privately funded and was identified as Jehovah in 1992 and at one time was called Zodiac. He claims the original MJ-12 was a consolidation of two Pentagon projects Majestic and Jehovah overseen by a group of twelve institutions within military, intelligence and science; the highest classification as of the letter was termed SACRED, a follow-on to terms TRINE and UMBRA, he claims.

He states Majestic was a government panel appointed by President Truman to look into extraterrestrial contact and ways of detecting non-terrestrial signals, while Jehovah was a DOD project to back engineer recovered UAP hardware and research the physics of how the craft worked. He states J Robert Oppenheimer was appointed by Vannevar Bush to head Jehovah until the AEC took away his clearance in 1954, and by 1960, the group concluded UAP were a threat to US defenses and could instigate mass paranoia if they gained control of US defenses. In 1960 the source claims Eisenhower approved a joint defense plan written by MJ-12 that in the event the US came under a nuclear attack by the USSR through “EBE deception,” the US would not retaliate with the proposed USAF SIOP.

He also states in 1969, President Nixon was briefed by MJ-12 on UAP and all aspects of EBE problem since 1947, after which Nixon approved a SCEO that required intelligence community to purge all references to MJ-12 in their UAP files and to destroy documents that could connect MJ-12 to the JFK assassination. Recently, he claims the dilemma for those “in the know” is that extra-materialized entities (EMEs) have complete control over UAP and can appear anywhere as anything at any time; they have even deceived USG communication projects using remote viewing, he claims.

Other projects mentioned by him are a CIA Project Environment, which he claims along with Project Medea looked at damage caused by EMEs near nuclear facilities. The prevailing belief of the group is based on materials found in connection with an EME/UAP that a “worldwide invasion” is expected to begin by 2030.

Through an opening on top of the craft a vaguely human-shaped figure was visible. Suddenly, the craft shot up and disappeared over the rooftops. Five days later, at around 2:30 in the afternoon, the main witness was returning home when he saw a white vehicle parked in front of his house, occupied by two men. Soon after entering his home the two men knocked on his door. They proceeded to ask the witness several questions about the UFO he had seen, and basically harassed him with threatening remarks. He described them as very tall, about 40 years old, wearing white shirts and gray pants. They appeared to have nametags on the shirts, which they quickly covered.

Event 52624 (DCCBE1B0)

Date: 7/16/1999
Location: Paris, France
Description: A 90-page report, Les OVNI et la Defense: A Quoi doit-on se Préparer? (UFOs and Defense: What Should We Prepare for?), is published as the result of an in-depth study of UFOs carried out over several years by an independent group of former advanced workshop participants at the Institut des Hautes Études de Défense Nationale in Paris, France, and by other experts. Before its public release, it is sent to President Jacques Chirac and Prime Minister Lionel Jospin. The report is prefaced by Gen. Bernard Norlain of the Air Force and begins with a preamble by André Lebeau, former president of the Centre National d’Études Spatiales. The Comité d’Études Approfondies (COMETA) group, collective author of the report, is presided over by Gen. Denis Letty of the Air Force. The report analyzes various UFO cases and concludes that UFOs are real, complex flying objects, and that the extraterrestrial hypothesis has a high probability of being the correct explanation for the UFO phenomenon. The study recommends that the French government should adjust to the reality of the phenomenon and conduct further research.

Date: 7/18/1999
Description: The main witness was a UFO investigator, staying with a known abductee and her child in San Antonio, Texas, in order to offer them some protection and company. He had fallen asleep, when he woke up suddenly when he detected some kind of movement behind him. Thinking it was the woman he did not turn around. Then he felt a “body” next to him, and he next felt a pleasant touch on his upper back, and the sensation as an “arm” passed over his ribcage. Concerned, he tried to move but was unable to. When he was finally able to turn his head, he saw a round basketball shaped object under the covers. He jolted to his feet and heard a slight giggling sound at the same time that the object under the covers appeared to deflate. He went and tried to wake up his friend but was unable to. Two nights later he saw a small white, grayish figure standing just inches away from him that suddenly disappeared. Other strange occurrences were later reported.

ation:** JORDAN, Mafraq
Description: (Translated from French) An unidentified creature that had been terrorizing the population and their poultry (vog: sic!) was captured Sunday night July 25. People had already seen the “beast” during the month of June, but generally it made its ravages at night, devouring dozens of chickens and pigeons. The creature with a small head and big eyes, teeth, and a tail was finally taken when it seemed to be methodically visiting certain residential areas of Mafraq each night. Provisionally the creature has been given the name “Al-Massara” and has been handed over to veterinary services to determine its species, but nothing says that it was the only one of its kind roaming the night in Mafraq.

Date: 7/27/1999
Locations: Lake Backsjön; Gunnarskog, Värmlands, Sweden; Arvika; I 2/Fo52 Värmland Regiment
Description: Day. Several people living near the shore of Lake Backsjön, near Gunnarskog, Värmlands, Sweden, see and hear a rocket-shaped object plunge into the water. The object is 6–10 feet long and descends at high speed, creating a splash in the water before sinking. One witness contacts the rescue station at Arvika, who in turn contact the police and military. Stellan Jansson, chief of staff for the I 2/Fo52 Värmland Regiment, interviews the witnesses. In September, the army begins an intensive search of the lake under the code name Operation Sea Find using divers, sonar equipment, and a mini-sub. The operation conducts a 10-day search and examines 75% of the lake, but the search is discontinued on September 16 after finding no evidence. On October 1, a secret report is completed for military intelligence in Stockholm.

Event 52635 (32F3F6B7)

Date: 7/31/1999
Description: EarthTech and former CIA scientist Hal Puthoff emails former CIA Life Sciences Division analyst Kit Green and his life partner Kristin B Zimmerman about a story published in a UFO magazine by a pseudonym “Greg Halifax” about a UAP crash retrieval personnel member pseudonym “Sedge Masters.”

The story refers to Masters having participated in a UAP crash retrievals group known as “Zodiac,” of which Puthoff states “we have reason to believe the set of stories are only slightly fictionalized versions of a source’s experiences writing up records for the archives at WPAFB.” Puthoff asks Green if he’s ever heard of Zodiac, “which is supposed to be the true name,” not MJ-12 or Majestic
12. At the time, Green was the Chief Technology Officer of General Motors Asia Pacific, while Zimmerman was with GM Research and Development in the area of advanced design.

The Sedge Masters story itself describes the “blackest of American covert operations” that deals directly with UAP, collated from several different sources, and states a UAP management program exists that falls outside of the normal range of program activities and only members of the intelligence community with specific psychological profiles are selected. It states the program was called Zodiac, and had different subdivisions corresponding with different zodiacal signs, including Aquarius. It states the CIA had control over Zodiac as of the 1980s and between 1947-1980s, Zodiac recovered eleven UAP craft of different sizes and quality, some of which included live occupants of Nordic, small hairy, and tall “grey aliens” and short “grey aliens” appearance. Locations of recoveries listed include New Mexico, off the coast of Denmark and the Midwest.

In the story, an unnamed Col. tells a psychologist that during one crash recovery, a larger UAP “ship” appeared above the crash site and telepathically told the recovery team not to recover the craft. The team then experienced 90 minutes of missing time and were not able to share that information with staff at WPAFB until they were telepathically ‘released’ and able to do so; the psychologist states “the little gray bastards have thought control and empathy projection.” The story also states a file room at WPAFB has over 2 million accounts of UAP sightings by military personnel and US civilians, most of which were never investigated.

• https://www.johnclarkson.com.au/images/downloads/DrGreen_Article.pdf

Note: Zodiac is described as a project “able to skirt the military chain of command with impunity, spend money earmarked for other projects, and generally do whatever it damn well pleased, all in the name of UFOs and their importance to National Security.”

Note: Ufologist Richard Dolan states he was able to figure out who actually wrote the Zodiac story, who was behind the pseudonym “Sedge Masters.” Dolan claims it is an attorney from defense contractor TRW, and that they may have actually spent time in Halifax, Canada, or may be from there (Halifax is mentioned as the location of a safehouse in the story). Dolan does not give the name of the TRW attorney he believes wrote the story and disclosed the name “Zodiac” for the first time publicly.

Note: TRW is mentioned again in the diaries of ufologist Jacques Vallée, who states that former CIA analyst Kit Green told him Eric Walker stated live aliens were retrieved, studied and “allowed to blend into” the human population. Walker was the dean of engineering at Harvard, former head of the JASONs, chairman of the Defense Science Board, senior advisor to the President and former chairman of TRW.

Note: In 2021, former AATIP head Lue Elizondo was asked about Zodiac, to which he replied he had come across the name of the organization, but that he could not comment on it further.

Investigating more closely, he saw a very large circular object hovering about two meters off the ground. The craft was somewhat turtle shaped, and was about 30 meters in diameter. The top part of the object was completely transparent, so much so that it appeared almost “invisible”. The lower part consisted of a green platform that had a hollow central section, like a donut. He could not see any instruments inside the craft, but he could see five occupants inside a well-lit white dome. He described them as short in stature, about 80 cm tall, with large heads. According to the witness, their heads somewhat resembled those of donkeys, because they had extremely long faces and their heads were covered with short black, curly hair. They had large round black eyes about 5 cm in diameter that were very close together. Their noses were large and “potato” like. Their mouths were large and wide, resembling those of a monkey, with large meaty lips. On each side of their heads were two large pointy ears, like those of a wolf. Their skin was light brown in color and their hands had six digits. As the witness watched, one of the humanoids made a gesture, which he interpreted as a salute. The humanoids wore tight-fitting yellow outfits that went up to their short necks. Their footgear resembled pointy sandals, similar to those worn by “Gondoliers.” He continued his observation, feeling a sense of “joy and tranquility.” He believed that the humanoids were gentle and kind. One of the humanoids seemed to be counting some yellow paper-like objects resembling banknotes. The whole incident unfolded in complete silence. After about a minute and a half, the object lifted up vertically, disappearing from the area at very high speed.

Location: Iraq, Haditha
Description: (Translated from French) Stories of ghosts are common around the old town of Haditha. But when the naked ghosts start dancing in front of motorists driving on the road, it creates traffic embarrassment. According to the Iraqi newspaper Al-Alwan, “motorists passing through the Horan Valley, just outside the town of Haditha (216 km northeast of Baghdad) saw the appearance of ‘naked spirits’ performing acrobatic movements, next to the bridge. The drivers were in panic,” said the newspaper, which adds that motorist Shawki Sabar said: “They were rather human, but I could not focus on their exact shape because it was dark and I was scared to see it.” The spirits seemed so alive that one of the drivers thought he had run over a person and went to report the accident to the police.

Event 52653 (88AA100E)

Date: 8/22/1999
Description: On this afternoon Michelle and a friend were hiking on a remote trail called the Ice Age Trail near Lodi, Wisconsin when she became separated from her friend and went ahead. In a short while she saw a flash of motion ahead, perhaps some 50 feet away. It was a blue-gray figure moving along the trail toward her. His first impression was that it was someone dressed in a blue jacket, but abruptly the blue figure glided off the trail to her right, disappearing behind some trees. It did not seemed to be walking, but displayed a smooth gliding motion. Before it glided away the blue figure seemed to change directions. As it turned she noticed a long blue plume of something, waving from behind its head. Startled, she turned to her companion who had come up behind her, and told him what she had seen. They both walked ahead to investigate the point on the path where it had vanished into the bushes, but found nothing unusual.

Event 52661 (4D823645)

Date: 9/1/1999
Location: USA, Northwest Pacific Coast
Description: (Translated from French) Hundreds of residents reported seeing 7 or 8 glowing UFOs in the sky. Most of the sightings took place between 9 pm and 9:30 pm. One of the witnesses claimed that several F-15 fighter jets had taken off from the Portland military airport four minutes after the UFO flyover. Interceptor planes were also reported in the sky over Bend, Oregon. In total, there were reports of either 7 or 8 glowing UFOs, flying from northwest to southeast in a “formation” at low altitude and at a surprisingly slow speed; or 8 UFOs with fire trails traveling from west to east across the sky in one and a half minutes; or 7 or 8 flaming objects flying in a straight line and formation from northwest to southwest, with one object leaving the formation and then returning. IN REALITY: Jerry Rolwes from MUFON contacted NORAD and discussed the sightings with Major Nouis, in charge of public affairs for the Air Force. This was re-entry number 25761 in the NORAD catalogue, the Russian SL-12 rocket launched from Baikonour on 28.2.1998. It entered the Earth’s atmosphere at 22:11 (9:11 pm Pacific time) at 17,000 mph, which explains the fire trail observed by the witnesses.

Event 52667 (5542DCA7)

Date: 9/12/1999
Location: Mexico, Monterrey - Garza Garcia (Monterrey)
Description: (Translated from French) At around 7 pm on Sunday a large V-shaped object appeared in the sky, above the Garza Garcia district of Monterrey where two supermarkets are located. According to Mexican ufologist Santiago Yturria Garza, “The UFO was large and stationary in the sky at low altitude. Its shape was a V and on the upper part it had something spherical that seemed to emit a continuous white light. In addition, the UFO continuously changed shape, into a boomerang, into a triangle, while rotating on its axis. At one point the two arms of the boomerang separated.” Hundreds of Mexicans stopped their cars to observe it and several called the television stations. At 9:29 pm the television reporter Marta Zamarripa arrived to film the phenomenon for the show TeleDiario, on Channel 12. The object was still there at 7:45 pm. During the next day’s broadcast, the presenter told viewers that a Boeing 737 was descending and was at 3000 m when the Mario Escobede airport control tower warned it to be “vigilant about something it could encounter on its descent path.” But upon inquiry, the control tower firmly denied having made such statements.

Event 52681 (932A22CD)

Date: 9/24/1999
Location: AZERBAIJAN, Baku
Description: (Translated from French) (Source: article in ‘Komsomolskaya Pravda.’ magazine for young people from Moscow) A respected Doctor of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences El’chin Hallilov used an advanced Sony video camera to film for 40 minutes a giant and shining UFO rotating above the capital of Azerbaijan. A conference of astronomers was held at the Shemahinskoj Astrophysical Observatory in Azerbaijan at the same time. The 50,000 video images were brought to the meeting and examined by expert astronomers who were impressed by the high quality of the digital video camera. They were shocked by the clarity and length of the film which seemed to show a huge spaceship or a confidential American weapon. The video is considered sensational because it shows a large illuminated object with a powerful and blinking blue light suspended above the city for several hours starting at 21:45 on September 24. The astronomers could not explain this as plasma or comet. The film then shows the object enlarged 300 times showing an apparatus of surprising complexity. It was composed of three main parts. The front was in the shape of a complete sphere. The back rotated around an axis crossing the entire object. It seemed to radiate a great power of heat and radiation. The object rotated and it was possible to see the entire length, and then it was a large sphere with a truncated base. There were blinking lights and portions seemed to turn showing an object with two decks. At certain moments it took the shape of an isosceles triangle then took the shape of an eclipse and disappeared. The astronomers agreed that natural objects do not take this shape and do not remain stable for several hours. The object seemed obviously some kind of technical object. The decision was taken unanimously to create a commission to study the film and obtain information about the film.

Event 52682 (6F7A7109)

Date: 9/30/1999
Locations: Tokaimura uranium processing facility; Tokai, Iberaki Prefeccture, Japan
Description: 10:35 a.m. A serious criticality incident takes place in the Tokaimura uranium processing facility operated by JCO in the village of Tokai, Iberaki Prefeccture, Japan. The accident occurs as three workers are preparing a small batch of fuel for the Jōyō experimental fast breeder reactor, using uranium enriched to 18.8% with the radioisotope uranium-235 (with the remainder being the fertile uranium-238). It is JCO’s first batch of fuel for that reactor in three years, and no proper qualification and training requirements appear to have been established to prepare those workers for the job. A precipitation tank reaches critical mass when its fill level, containing about 35 pounds of uranium, reaches about 11 gallons. The two technicians who receive the higher doses die several months later.

Description: At 8:25 p.m. two cylinder-shaped crafts were seen maneuvering over a road near Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Two vehicles stalled as the objects approached and several of the witnesses felt dizzy in the presence of the objects. The objects were silver in color and highly polished. Each object had a row of about 13 yellow-orange lights. There was also a blue haze around one of the objects. Also, at least two silhouettes of humanoid beings with large heads were seen in each of the crafts. The eyes of the beings were red and fiery, and were like slits. The UFOs did not land, but hovered just above the ground. There was a sudden sound like thunder, and the objects abruptly vanished. Scorch marks were reported to be found on the ground near where the objects had hovered.

Event 52689 (40992D90)

Date: 10/23/1999
Location: Italy, Sicily, Mount Etna
Description: (Translated from French) Around noon a luminous UFO was seen above the summit of ETNA and stayed there for ten minutes, performing maneuvers (of smoke: there was an eruption less than a week later, and black smoke, sometimes mixed with fire, was already coming out of it…). The oval-shaped UFO was seen by hundreds of people from the town of Adrano, southwest of the volcano, and by those from the small towns of Belpaso and Viagrande. The UFO was described as a white round object, with a dark center and the whole thing seemed “reddish”. The object changed its position from vertical to horizontal, and changed its shape from round to oval. In Adriano two people took video images and are convinced they filmed a flying saucer.

Event 52693 (76045719)

Date: 10/26/1999
Description: At 2:14 a.m. PDT a woman in California (exact location not disclosed) suddenly awoke feeling a presence in her room. Her body began to get a familiar vibrating feeling, and then she became very lethargic. In the dark she saw a figure in the room; she could see it standing by the bedroom door. The witness became enraged and by using her thoughts cursed at the entity several times. The being looked scared, and it crouched in the corner with its head down. She then tried to turn the light on, but it would not work, and she also tried to use the phone by her bed, but it was also out of commission. By this point she had calmed down somewhat, and asked the being why they were not going anywhere (presuming she would be abducted). She received the reply, “I just don’t like women.” The being now approached her bed, and she recognized her as being female, and sat on the bed. The woman then took her hand, which felt very cold. The being was about four feet tall, and was wearing a blackish, hooded cape. The being next told the witness she was going to take her to the ship now. Her next recollection was of waking up around an hour later, again feeling a vibration in her body. The female humanoid was gone.

The unusual phenomenon had significant proportions, since the phenomenon repeated itself at various times over an area of about ten square kilometers, covering houses, fields, electrical wires, and even pigeons! There are photos, a film, and also residues of these angel hairs. Unlike other previous cases, the filaments, up to one meter long, did not dissolve immediately and it was thus possible to collect and preserve various samples that will be analyzed by the Italian Center for Ufological Studies.

Stunned, they stood still and watched it for awhile, and when they attempted to run away they found they could not move. They then noticed a figure exit the craft, who completely ignored them and walked around the object. Five minutes later the humanoid being re-entered the object, which then rose up slowly and disappeared from sight. Soon afterwards the two men were able to move again. Both suffered from headaches and nausea for a week after the incident.

Description: Cao Gong, a middle-aged man from Beijing, China, claims he is abducted by aliens and flown to Qinhuangdao, Hebei province, in a UFO. The entities look like humans but have large hands and are very pale. Zhang Jingping of the World Chinese UFO Association begins to investigate the Cao case in April 2000 and has him hypnotically regressed by a psychologist from Suzhou. Cao also passes a lie detector test at the Beijing Bureau of Public Security. Cao remembers meeting in the spacecraft a Chinese girl who looks about 13 years old. She tells him the aliens cured her of a disease. Zhang brings Cao to the Tangshan Bureau of Public Security in July 2000, where the police construct a computer reconstruction of the girl’s face according to his description. In November 2002, Zhang leads a group of students from Beihang University on a trip to Qinhuangdao to look for the girl. They arrive in Qinglong County and begin a blind search among the area’s 400,000 inhabitants. On the second day, an old man recognizes the girl in the image. They locate her and she turns out to be 15 years old. Zhang brings her back to Beijing to meet Cao Gong, who identifies her as the girl he met.

Event 52720 (0C881E7C)

Date: 12/3/1999
Description: The Arlington Institute (TAI), a defense industry
non-profit, holds a board meeting with members including former CIA director R. James Woolsey, former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Catherine Austin Fitts, and several media and financial industry executives. Meeting minutes show the group “had been approached” by a client to publish a white paper on the subject of life outside of Earth. Fitts later said the Undersecretary of the Navy was the client, who was interested in helping the Navy “adjust their operations for a world in which it was commonly known that aliens exist and live among us.” Fitts claims her time at HUD and after, as a contractor to HUD, exposed her to information that suggested slush funds were connected to FHA and HUD. Fitts believed some of the illegal funding was for domestic “clandestine military R&D,” some of which was UAP related.

Note: John L. Petersen was the Chairman of the Arlington Institute at the time and is who Fitts claims told her she could see alien bodies. Curiously, Petersen has also served as the Chairman of the Lindbergh Foundation, a non-profit working to decarbonize aviation and promote new technologies in aerospace. The Lindbergh Foundation was founded by Neil Armstrong and Gen. James Doolittle. (Doolittle is linked to the UAP subject by his investigation of “ghost rockets” in Sweden in the 1940s).

Note: What makes TAI’s meeting significant is former government personnel were allegedly discussing how to shape the public’s perception of UAP on behalf of a USG client with media industry executives present. John L. Petersen, Chairman of the TAI board, denied Fitts’ allegations and Joe Firmage, another Board member, did not recall the meeting described in the minutes. AATIP scientist Hal Puthoff and AAWSAP contractor Bob Bigelow are also linked to TAI’s Petersen and Firmage, with Jacques Vallée noting the four were connected to a series of futurist talks on UAP in 1999.

Note: In 2017, Catherine Austin Fitts published a paper with a Michigan State University economist that found $21 trillion in unauthorized spending in the departments of Defense and Housing and Urban Development between 1998 and 2015. A university press release states the DODIG disabled key documents showing unsupported spending after the paper was published, and soon after, the DOD announced its first ever department-wide independent audit in its
history. Years earlier, Fitts believed some of the unauthorized funding was for domestic “clandestine military R&D,” some of which was UAP related and diverted from DOD/HUD to illegal programs.

Location: CHINA, Shenongjia Mountains, Hubei Province
Description: (Translated from French) On Sunday, December 5th, 1999, the Chinese newspaper China Daily reported that a scientific team in the Shenongjia Mountains had found traces of a large, hairy hominid, which they called the “Wild Man”. Standing, it measured nearly 2.4 meters tall and was covered in long, red hair. It was searching for seeds in the nature reserve. The scientists set out to look for the creature after a hunter reported seeing it in the reserve two months earlier. The hominid left footprints measuring 40 cm long, and they found hairs and empty seed pods.

Mainstream reviewers have criticized claims about Die Glocke as being pseudoscientific, recycled rumors, and a hoax. Die Glocke and other alleged Nazi “miracle weapons” have since been dramatized in video games, television shows, and novels.

Date: 2000
Description: The results of the Russian Setka program are disclosed by Boris Sokolov, coordinator of Setka-MO, and Yulii Platov, deputy coordinator of Setka-AN, in an article in the Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences. According to them, 90% of the anomalous atmospheric phenomena observed in Russian territory can be explained by the effects of human activities (especially rockets and weather balloon launches), while the remaining 10% are unexplained. For the latter cases, they could be rare or still unknown natural phenomena. However, no evidence is found of UFO landings, crashes, close encounters, or alien abductions. No evidence of an extraterrestrial UFO origin has emerged either. Paul Stonehill, a Russian UFO scholar, believes that only the results of Setka-AN’s studies are disclosed, while those of Setka-MO still remain secret. Stonehill further claims there is nothing to indicate that anyone in the Setka program attempted to seriously analyze the cases that remain unexplained.

Event 52743 (8509BEF3)

Date: 2000
Location: Loveland, Colorado
Description: Alleged abductee Stan Romanek of Loveland, Colorado, claims his first UFO experience. He has many experiences with aliens since then, allegedly discovering mysterious wounds on his body that glow under a black light and claiming electronic communications with aliens. He also claims aliens have followed his car, visited his home, and communicated with him telepathically. In 2003, he claims he woke up and found himself wearing a ladies’ flannel nightgown, which makes him suspect he has been abducted and returned in woman’s clothing. Romanek eventually comes to suspect that the clothing belongs to another supposed abductee, Betty Hill. When asked if the gown has been tested for Hill’s DNA, Romanek claims that it has not because the test is too expensive. Appearing on ABC Primetime in 2009, Romanek makes the unsubstantiated claims that he underwent hypnosis by R. Leo Sprinkle, a psychologist who specializes in alien abduction cases. Romanek claims that under hypnosis he wrote out the Drake equation, a formula used to estimate the number of communicative extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy, and then added “x100” to it. Skeptic Joe Nickell suggests the equation is written through simple memorization. On August 8, 2017, Romanek is found guilty of felony possession of child pornography.

The incident is examined in the ABC special Seeing Is Believing with Peter Jennings, an hour-long Discovery Channel special UFOs Over Illinois, an episode of the 2004 Syfy series Proof Positive, and a 30-minute independent documentary titled The Edge of Reality: Illinois UFO, January 5, 2000 by Darryl Barker Productions.

Event 52753 (67B74BE8)

Date: 1/5/2000
Location: Pentagon
Description: Bill Sweetman writes in Jane’s International Defence Review that there are approximately 150 “special access programs” within the Pentagon at the close of 1999, many of which are unacknowledged. They often have completely independent systems of classification, with total control exercised by the program manager. He concludes that most are dominated not by Defense personnel but by private contractors. He has no idea how they are funded.

Event 52762 (BD7434EC)

Date: 1/16/2000
Location: TAIWAN: Taiwan Strait
Description: (Translated from French) (Taiwan MND Confirms Incoming UFOs From China - From: Diane Lovett -Translation: Phil – ovnipage) Taipei, Jan. 18 (CNA). The Ministry of Defense (MND) confirmed Tuesday that 10 unidentified objects had been seen crossing the Taiwan Strait from the Chinese mainland and heading north of the island before disappearing at an altitude between 14,000 and 25,000 (?) on January 16. Judging by the direction of the wind and air currents, the MND supposes that the UFOs come from the Chinese mainland and adds that these movements also threaten the security of Taiwanese air traffic as well as international traffic. During a press conference, the MND informed the Civil Aeronautics Administration and promptly indicated to them to pay great attention to this situation. The MND also urged the mainland to refrain from such dangerous behavior. Following the MND’s warning, the SEF (Strait Exchange Foundation) sent a letter to their Chinese counterparts (ARATS) so that the relevant authorities could investigate this matter. In the same spirit, the CAA (Civil Aeronautics Administration) set up an alert plan on Tuesday for pilots navigating the Taiwan-Kinmen air corridor in case they judged that the unidentified objects could cause problems for aircraft using this corridor. So far, no unusual objects have been detected by the CAA’s radars, but the MND’s warning clearly illustrates that UFOs are a potential danger in the Taiwan-Kinmen corridor - Diane Lovett [vog: given the political situation between China and Taiwan, one can wonder if these “UFOs” were not simply missiles … of intimidation?]

At 10:15 p.m. five bright lights in a triangle formation changed to a straight line, looking like balls of fire, giving off what seemed to be smoke. These five bright lights were also observed by a married couple from Glenmore. They reported that after about eight minutes the first light disappeared, then the third one. The object or objects were just below the cloud cover. There were also sightings in Adelaide, South Australia this night. Single and multiple bright orange orbs were seen flying over the city, and they were seen to disappear in vicinity of the Blue Mountains.

Event 52772 (6AFE0DFB)

Date: 1/30/2000
Description: A huge black triangular object hovered silently above a crab fishing boat at 11:15 p.m. while the fisherman was engaged in hauling up a line of traps off Farlon Island near San Francisco, California. The man was onboard his 25 foot boat with his dog but had no other witnesses around, when he was hit by a beam of white light from the craft, which caused him fall backwards into the boat’s cabin. He grabbed his Rugger 10-22 rifle and fired 100 rounds of .22 caliber ammunition at the bottom of the craft, trying to shoot out the light. While grabbing a second magazine clip he saw a hatch open up on the bottom of the object and two men leaned out, shouting “Stop shooting at us you idiot.” He also heard a hissing sound like air escaping from a punctured tire. The object then moved off to the south. A helicopter then appeared and hovered over the boat. The chopper was flat black in color, and it was silent with no markings on it. As the chopper hovered a flash of light was again directed at the boat. He last saw the triangle gain altitude and disappear towards the south. The helicopter was last seen heading towards the Golden Gate Bridge. It is uncertain if what the witness allegedly encountered was a secret U.S. government project, or something even more strange.

Event 52800 (2006DF53)

Location: Malaysia
Description: (Translated from French) (From: Muzzafar Zabidin - Trans: Phil - Malaysian UFO Report, March 8. - A report from the newspaper The Star (Malaysia) by UFO Folklore - Tanah Merah (Kelantan)) An observation of a large object emitting light beams was reported. According to the witnesses, it even landed in a marshy area. This observation took place three days ago and held the approximately 1000 inhabitants of Kampung Gobek in awe. The witnesses say they saw the shining object land around 3:00 in the morning. The lights coming from the object came intermittently, like flashes of lightning, but that day there was no sign of rain, according to Mohamad Mat Diah, 51. The lights from the object were very strong and the beams bathed the inside of my house. “As I noticed something was happening outside I looked out and saw this object moving above the marshes for several minutes”. Mohammad says that at daybreak he went to the area which is about 100 m from his home and there he noticed a kind of Y-shaped depression measuring 15 m by 5 m wide which could have been caused by the unidentified object. Near this depression was another crescent-shaped depression about 3 m and three holes around each one of 1 m in diameter. “I was accompanied by two people who were originally scared to come with me,” adds Mr. Diah. Another resident of the place, Saupi Salleh, 28, recounts having been woken up by the intense light. “At first I thought it was a storm but I realized it was something else”. He also went to the alleged landing site and concluded that if an object had come there, it must have been very imposing. Many other people then came to inspect the site.

Event 52801 (FB49A275)

Date: 3/7/2000
Location: USA, near Olathe, Colorado
Description: (Translated from French) A woman was driving on a country road between 9 and 10 pm. In the passenger seat was a baby seat with her young child. She told ufologist Davina Ryszka of Montrose, Colorado about her terrifying encounter with a UFO. “There was a very low flying object, displaying a very large white light and small green and red lights on the side. This UFO was on a deliberate collision course. Coming straight at me, and so low, I did everything I could to avoid a probable crash” she said. But the UFO stopped right in front of the car which the driver had managed to stop almost in place. Then, when she wanted to leave, the UFO made the same maneuver, she reversed, the UFO too. She made a maneuver in place to change direction, the UFO imitated her. She was really panicked, all the more so because her baby was in the car. Finally, she managed to get back in the direction she had followed first, the UFO still facing her. She drove fast and the object seemed to be following her now, she could see it in the rearview mirror. “Then, for a few moments, I couldn’t see it anymore, and I was already relieved thinking it had gone”. But suddenly a bright light came from above illuminating the car and the whole area around. She drove as if she had the devil on her heels and finally arrived safe and sound, but very shocked in Olathe.

Description: (Translated from French) (Ufotel No. 208) This report was published in a local newspaper. An employee and a teacher who were walking in the woods in Lucignano in the afternoon of March 8, would have observed around 4 pm, a stationary luminous triangular object in the sky. Shortly after they were aware of a presence nearby, behind them. It was a humanoid form (not otherwise defined) wearing a suit and a helmet with a visor, through which the witnesses would have seen blue eyes without eyelashes or eyebrows, a nose like that of humans, and lips barely outlined. A whistle from above drew the attention of the two witnesses to the object in the sky, which after a slight undulating movement catapulted itself into infinity, gaining more and more speed.

Later he remembered being in a round room with a high ceiling. There were several pillars coming down the sides of the walls. The “room” seemed to be dirty. In the middle of the room there was a sort of table, resembling a half cylinder, made out of what appeared to be corrugate iron. He recalls that he encountered two types of creatures: some were short with bluish black skin, perfectly round eyes, and they wore coveralls with hoods. The others were the classic Grey humanoids with large black almond-shaped eyes. He later found a triangle-shaped scar on his upper arm.

It was a pale blue color. Thinking that it was some sort of decorative lighting, they ignored it and kept walking. Then they heard a low rumbling noise that sounded like: “Anong balita, anong balita.” Looking back they caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a naked, human like creature with white hair and glowing rings imbedded in its wrists like shiny cufflinks. It leapt away with incredible speed. With a blur it vanished into some bushes.

Location: Ireland, Belfast
Description: (Translated from French) A Belfast worker in Northern Ireland reported that his car was lifted off the ground during the observation of a UFO and as a result he is missing 6 hours from his memories. The experience is said to have taken place on the evening of Thursday, March 23, when the man was returning home from work. Stopping at a gas station, he saw in the sky a large light, it looked like the moon but with an oval shape. Getting back in the car, he noticed that the light was following him and, with amazement, he also realized that he had taken the wrong road. Terrified, he stopped and got out of the car in the middle of the countryside, realizing that the car was being lifted off the ground. His next memory is of him being in the driver’s seat of his car, near his house, at 2:30 in the morning. What he thought had lasted five minutes had actually lasted 6 hours. A typical episode of “missing time”, usually associated with abduction cases, which local ufologists are currently examining.

According to one of the witnesses, K. Anupam, “the UFO was approaching from the northeast. Its movement was irregular but slow.” A group of people were watching it when it stopped above the Gandhi Airport terminal. “The UFO was at a rather high altitude and no sound was coming from it,” said Anupam. “It stopped in the air and stayed there for a moment, then it suddenly veered to the left and descended a bit. Again it stayed still for a moment and then moved quickly to the right. It tilted and disappeared at an incredible speed. During the whole observation its bright silhouette suggested an oscillation, a swaying.” Anupam described the UFO as cigar-shaped. “It was elongated with glows in three parts. There were two dark areas between the three bright parts. It seemed to be sending flashes suggesting a rotation on itself. It was at the altitude of commercial airplanes (10,000 meters), but its movement was very different, oscillating.” (April 8, 2000)

Lemon-green in color, glowing, and there was like a big green aura all around it. It had two arms and two legs. Its eyes were glowing red. The skin seemed to be made of scales like that of a reptile. It was about 4 feet tall (1.30 m). I stayed motionless in bed until it disappeared, vanishing into the air.” One could have taken Alan’s vision for a waking dream if there hadn’t been an earlier UFO sighting elsewhere in Missouri.

Event 52825 (C65EE7E2)

Date: Mid 4/2000
Location: Ireland, Blackwater
Description: (Translated from French) Noel Duggan, of Ballyconnigar Lower in Blackwater, told Gerry Ryan’s radio show in early June that he was having a drink in his mobile home with his girlfriend Kathleen Roche, and his friend Martin Egan from Wexford, when they were joined by a strange little man about 5 feet tall with peculiar ears. “'The creature was sitting on the mattress next to my girlfriend but she didn’t see it, nor did she hear when we spoke to it. It appeared out of nowhere and we didn’t ask it where it came from. My friend Martin and I were in discussion with the creature, but I don’t remember what about. The man had huge ears and slightly curly hair.” The incident happened around 7 in the evening and after a short while the strange visitor placed his hands above the girlfriend’s head saying “It’s not her fault” and then vanished.

Description: (Translated from French) (From Dr. Virgilio Sanchez-Ocejo - Source: http://www.elsur.cl/index2.html - ‘Cronica’ Newspaper, Chile Monday 24, 2000. Trad: Phil ovnipage npdc.) Jose Ignacio Prieto and 4 friends had just finished dinner when they felt a strong sensation of heat. The lights went out, they were in complete darkness when a powerful blue light entered the room where they were. It lasted a few seconds which were enough to blind them momentarily after the lights came back on. The next day they found a triangular mark. The base measured 35 meters and each side was nearly 20 meters. At one corner of the triangle there is a transformer that distributes electricity in the area. The triangle is located on a small mountain. The plants inside the triangle were twisted at the base just like in the mysterious crop circles. The place is only accessible by horse. There are no nearby roads or even vehicles in the area. In San Pedro de Atacama, the police received reports of strange red lights (UFOs?). The narcotics police went to investigate the site, thinking they would find a clandestine laboratory but to their great surprise they only found another triangular trace with a base of 50 meters formed of small stones not exceeding ten centimeters. The stones forming the triangle seemed burned and were still hot to the touch.

Date: 4/26/2000
Description: At around 2:00 a.m. several residents living on the slopes of a hill in Tocopilla, Antofagasta Province, Chile saw a strange looking entity climb rapidly up the side of a steep hill. It moved up a practically vertical cliff using reptilian like movements, and seemed to expand as if it possessed dark wing-like membranes on its back, which may have helped propell it up the cliff. Once it reached the summit witnesses began hearing strange growling and screeching sounds coming from the top.

Event 52834 (14A562C4)

Date: 4/27/2000

Description: (Translated from French) [01/05/2000 12:47/Belgabrief/General/Afsud/Espace/Divers) Two metal balls have fallen from the sky in the last few days in fields in the Cape region, leaving police and press perplexed while awaiting analysis: UFO, piece of satellite? The first of these balls landed Thursday in a field 70 km northeast of Cape Town, the impact preceded by a double “bang”, according to the testimony of employees of the Peter Viljoen farm, cited by The Star on Monday. The ball, which weighed more than 30 kilograms, was hot like it had been heated white at the impact and the witnesses could not touch it for half an hour. - The second ball, oblong and more massive, measuring between 1 m and 1.50 m in diameter and weighing nearly 100 kilograms, landed Friday in another farm in the region, near Durbanville. The balls, which according to the newspaper could be pieces of an old satellite, were transported to Cape Town Airport from where they were to be sent to Pretoria for expertise.

Event 52835 (FD598727)

Date: 4/29/2000
Location: Chile, Huepil (near Concepcion)
Description: (Translated from French) On Saturday, April 29, 2000, Jose Ismael Pino, 59, an agricultural worker employed on the Esperance ranch 2 km east of Huepil, near Tucapel, encountered a chupacabra. Pino was leaving the barn at 8 pm when he thought he saw a large bull running wild. He approached and shouted at the animal. Then he saw that it was not a bull. The creature was there, motionless, looking at him. It measured 1.50m, like a large monkey, with long arms ending in claws, huge fangs coming out of its mouth, and the creature also had wings. “I was so scared that I ran to get the dogs. I released the dogs to chase away this ‘bird’. The dog Cachorro came back very quickly, his neck open and bleeding. My boss Jorge Venegas then armed himself with a rifle to defend us. Since there have been all these luminous phenomena around, he even sleeps with the rifle next to him.” In the region four sheep were killed in one farm and one cow in another. But not everyone believes in the guilt of the chupacabras, says the farm manager Raul Perez to the newspaper Cronica. “A few years ago we had a big problem with stray dogs: in one night they killed 70 sheep.”

Location: Chile, Concepcion
Description: (Translated from French) At 1:30 in the morning, while Professor Liliana Romero Castillo was deeply asleep in her apartment located in Laguna Redonda in Concepcion, she was awoken by the barking of her five young puppies. They were with a mastiff named Black in the garden. Looking out the window, she saw the puppies barking and noticed the motionless body of Black near the wall. To her painful astonishment, she also saw the back of what seemed to be a very tall man over two meters tall. At shoulder level, the back was divided, as if it had wings. His posture was as if he had just struck something. So she woke her husband, but he was too sleepy to get up. Going back to the window, Mrs. Romero saw that the creature had disappeared, leaving the dead mastiff in its place. The next day, when sending her children to the grocery store, they took a shortcut and returned home saying that a big beige dog had died in the alley. This dog had holes in its throat and was exsanguinated.

Event 52840 (22EF362F)

Date: 5/5/2000
Location: Argentine, Tandil
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. Hugo Macias, aged 60 and employed for more than 37 years at the newspaper “La Capital” of Mar del Plata, who since 1997 has always taken the same route between Balcarce and Tendil, and claims to know the National Route 226 perfectly, contacted “El Eco de Tandil” to tell his experience.

“On Tuesday, May 5th, as usual (details recorded in the National Gendarmerie), at the place called La Planta Terrena, after passing the “Puerta del Abra” road from Mar del Plata to Tandil and having traveled about 5 to 6 kilometers, I heard a strange noise of something approaching from behind. I felt enveloped by a very powerful light. I say enveloped and tubed because it was a light that covered a diameter of 50 meters and that entered from all sides of my vehicle. It seemed to go through the sheet metal of the roof.” Hugo assures that it was at that moment that the radio went off, then the engine and the headlights stopped, but meanwhile, there was so much light coming from the outside that he could not see if the car lights were on. "It transported me for about 600 meters and then it cut off. It only lasted a few seconds but it seemed interminable. Everything started working again, I found myself facing a dark but starry night, and I saw in the sky at an approximate height of 1500 to 2000 meters an enveloping light in the shape of a tube that descended to the plain. During the rest of the trip I crossed two cars. It was a day of less traffic. (…) After my return to Mar del Plata I went to the gendarmerie post of Planta Terrena to see if the sentinel on guard that night had seen something. But I could not meet her, another guard commented to me that in this place five or six similar things had happened. He also told me that during the summer period witnesses had reported a circular shape in the prairie on which a burned paste rested as if acid had been poured over it. "(…)

Event 52841 (3C4C809C)

Date: 5/5/2000
Location: Germany, Muchengladbach
Description: (Translated from French) (Source: Rheinische Post newspaper, 8 and 18.5.2000) About fifty police officers were sent to search for a UFO that people said they had seen falling outside the city of Munchengladbach in the night of Friday, May 5, 2000. Calls flooded in and a ufologist had already contacted the airport for information about the illuminated object, flying slowly in the area of the A52 highway near Hardt. One of the witnesses, Karl W., said that the object with red and white flashing lights had fallen shortly after 10 pm behind the trees. When an expert identified the position of the flashing lights as belonging to a small sports plane, the search was launched by 50 police officers, 12 firefighters, and 22 volunteers from the Red Cross with tracking dogs. At dawn, a helicopter also appeared, but nothing was found. One of the witnesses said that in fact the object was flying so slowly and in complete silence, at the height of the tree tops, that it must not have appeared on the radar screens. Ten days later, a “radio amateur” claimed to have listened to radio transmissions from the search team and to have heard the police talking about green humanoids, passing through our solar system during their journey.

I’ll never take that road again. The noise this thing made sounded like a faint buzzing.”

She next remembered lying down on a table and a figure was at her head on the right side over her shoulder; another figure was at her feet on her right side. They seemed to be pulling or tugging at something that felt like a rope going through her body from her right shoulder to her right hip area. She felt very uncomfortable and her chest hurt. She woke up in her bed, and noticed a bright light shining in the skylight, and what appeared to be a plane at first that was traveling south to North. The object had a tail with a red flashing light and two wings with red and green lights on the ends. The wings were very thin, and right next to the tail, unlike a normal airplane. The body of the object was long with a squared off nose. The strange craft had two very bright large white lights underneath it at the front, shining directly towards the ground. No noise was heard.

Event 52861 (D0697CE3)

Date: 6/22/2000
Location: Argentina, Concepcion del Bermejo (in the north)
Description: (Translated from French) (UFO ROUNDUP, vol. 5 no. 26 of 29.6.2000, ed. Joseph Trainor) "Seventeen people gathered at a party of the Overejo and Gomex families said they saw and struck a “lobizon” (werewolf) between midnight and 12:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 22, 2000. Eva Castillo, a witness to the scene, told the Argentine newspaper “Norte” that the first to detect the strange creature was her nephew Marcelo, 11, who saw the creature attacking the little dog and opened the window to see what was happening. The creature was standing on the platform where the chickens and ducks find water. Another family member said he did not believe in either the Lobizon or the Almamula (another legendary animal of the region) and that he thought people were telling lies about them, but that he saw this “thing” and gave it a terrible kick.

“As if nothing had happened, the creature got up and left,” adds Jesus Alcides Gomez, who joined the other family members to beat the creature with sticks, bricks, and whatever they had at hand. Mrs. Castillo said: “We joined Alcides because the lobizon was chasing Marcelito, who had to take refuge on the trailer to avoid being hurt.” According to the witnesses, the creature looked like a dog with long, drooping ears, but with legs like a child’s. The Argentines believe that the seventh son of a line of boys turns into a lobizon at midnight, during the full moon, and especially if it happens on a Friday. Colonel Juan Domingo Peron, president from 1943 to 1955, had even ordered that all seventh sons be baptized in a public ceremony, thinking he could thus subdue the superstition. In the case of the Gomez families, the police came to the scene after the creature’s escape and collected samples of blood, and yellow and brown hairs, and some droppings. Another witness also claims to have seen the lobizon that night. It is Odilio Pontes, who runs the service station along Route 16: "Around 1:30 in the morning I saw a strange dog hiding behind the diesel pump, I was scared and I only looked at it through the window without going out. But it was bloody from the back, that I saw. It left towards the city, it had long “hair” of dark brown color. " (2000, June 22,)

Date: 7/5/2000
Location: Argentina
Description: (Translated from French) (UFO Roundup, Vol. 5, No. 28, 13.7.2000, Editor Joseph Trainor) “Diabolical Elves (El Diablillo) in Two Argentine Cities” On July 5th, 2000, police closed the auxiliary office in Dande Varela and placed two guards there after the auxiliary sheriff had seen the apparition of El Diablillo. Corporal Miguel Angel Aguero was hospitalized that morning in a state of shock, having had a nervous breakdown due to the alleged appearance of the infernal elf in the office. Aguero, age 37, and having been an auxiliary police officer for ten years, is a well-known athlete, especially because he was a marathon champion in his province. He was found unconscious, sitting on his chair, eyes wide open looking at the ceiling. When his colleagues approached him he started to scream: “There, there! He’s here. He’s coming for me!” pointing his finger up. Corporal Aguero was alone in the office around 1 o’clock in the morning when he made his routine round, passing through the empty cell block and returning to his office. He then heard something coming through the double doors behind him. “What do you want?” he asked, petrified. “I have come for you, as Satan wished” the thing replied. At the hospital, Aguero described the entity in detail: “It was a person, I don’t know if it was a man, it had red eyes, very red eyes. Its face was deformed and horrible, full of warts. It was about my size and it was wearing black pants and a green shirt. Its eyes were red and bulging. Horrible!” According to a police report, around 1:30, after three unsuccessful attempts to contact the auxiliary office in Dande de Carela by radio, a vehicle was dispatched to the scene to check on the situation of the corporal.

Soon an alien figure came to his bedroom door and entered, followed by two more. The beings were basically humanoid, gray in color, with large black oval-shaped eyes. One was taller than the others and he was holding a glowing blue rod, which apparently paralyzed the witness. He telepathically told the boy that they were going to cure an infection that was brought to Earth by another alien race. They inserted a long tube down the witness esophagus and through it injected a liquid. He was then able to move and was told to follow them. Outside he was taken aboard a landed disc-shaped object, where he was scanned and examined. Later he was brought back to his room.

They then saw a figure standing about three feet away from the front bumper. The figure was described as large, lacking ears, and covered with extremely long gray hair, particularly around the neck. It had two immense, slanted yellow eyes. The driver and the creature exchanged stares for about ten seconds, after which the car drove along the left lane. The creature followed the vehicle’s departure with its head, and its neck was apparently able to make 180-degree turns. Terrified, the two drove away. They saw the yellow light again as it lit up the entire road before disappearing.

The ray hit one of the men, who seemed to disappear in plain sight of the other two men. Only his clothes remained. Three minutes later he reappeared, completely naked, in front of his stunned friends. He said that he had been abducted by “leshies” (Russian wood goblins), but the other two quickly pointed out to him that it had been a UFO. The men then quickly left the area. The man’s memory of the event was completely gone. He could only vaguely remember that some strange gray-colored beings had been sticking needles into his body.

Her dog began barking inceasantly. She decided to get up and look outside, and when she looked out the window she was startled to see a strange creature standing with its back to her, only 15 feet away. It was white in color with wrinkled skin and had an egg-shaped head with large elongated white eyes with black centers. It had elongated ears, arms, and legs. It appeared to be unclothed. Its hands were in a praying position and its body and head jerked around as if it had no control over them. After watching for a few minutes the witness made a sudden noise, causing the creature to turn around halfway and gaze at her. This caused her to involuntarily close her eyes and step back. She rubbed her eyes repeatedly and was finally able to open them again. Frightened, she called additional household members but by the time they arrived the creature was gone. Two days after later the witness noticed a green light illuminating her room. No one was able to identify the source of the light.

They seemed to be lost, and asked Gloria for directions. They failed to understand her directions, and invited her to board their van and accompany them to their destination. Strangely, she felt unwilling to resist and got in the van. As soon as she boarded the van one of the women covered her nose and mouth with a drug-laced handkerchief, knocking her out. Three days later, Siboa woke up still in the van that was headed to an unknown destination, and she was still blindfolded. She jumped out screaming for police. She could not explain where she had been for the last three days. Her abductors had taken her wallet and ID.

Event 52897 (4550A541)

Date: 9/11/2000
Description: A huge lighted disc-shaped object lit up the sky in West Berlin, New Jersey. Mrs. D’Imperio and her family (4 witnesses) saw a lighted wheel in the sky at 9:30 p.m. with what looked like bicycle spokes coming out of it. Another ring was on the outside of the object, like a “wheel within a wheel”. “What amazed me was lights were coming down the spokes going around the outside of the other [outer] ring, coming back to where they started and coming together, [joining up with] all of them in the center of the ring. They kept repeating this action.” Next, a second object came and joined the first, going around the circle and making another spoke. As they watched for some time two helicopters came overhead. One was bigger that the other one, and they both went straight for the UFO they were watching. They then flew around it for awhile.

Date: 9/23/2000
Description: Ms. Rosa Lopez was on her way home late one night at 3:25 a.m. near Sevilla, Spain when her vehicle entered a strange fog on the road. When she drove out of the fog she was surprised to see that it was almost five a.m. already, although it seemed only minutes had passed. Later, under hypnotic regression, she recounted encountering a huge metallic object on the road. Her car then stalled and stopped. Several short figures with large heads and huge eyes next surrounded her vehicle. She felt weak and helpless as the humanoids carried her into the UFO. She was questioned and put through what she thought was a “brain scanning” device. She was then taken back to her car, and she drove away apparently still under the control of the humanoids. She only seemed to snap out of it completely when she got home.

Event 52915 (B28105C9)

Date: 10/15/2000
Location: National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena
Description: Richard Haines’s National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena releases a 90-page report that summarizes more than 100 UFO incidents reported by pilots and their crews, including 56 near misses, all affecting aircraft safety. Most cases involve multiple witnesses, and many are backed by ground radio communications and radar corroboration. Experienced pilots present accounts of objects, ranging from silver discs to green fireballs, flying loops around passenger aircraft, pacing planes despite pilots’ evasive attempts, or flooding cockpits with blinding light. Haines documents cases with electromagnetic interference on navigation and operating systems. He writes that a crew’s ability to perform its duties safely is disrupted when the crew is faced with “extremely bizarre, unexpected, and prolonged luminous and/or solid phenomena cavorting near their aircraft.” The primary danger is in the human response, since the objects do not appear to be hostile and seem to be able to avoid collisions using extraordinary maneuvers.

Event 52917 (F97B2BB0)

Date: 10/15/2000
Description: There were two apparent abductions involving missing time in the United States on this day, and they both were reported to the National UFO Reporting Center in Seattle by the percepients. The first was in Del Valle, Texas and occurred at around 2:30 a.m. A woman was awakened by a loud noise that seemed to be getting louder and approaching her house from above, as if a flying object was coming down in a vertical descent. For some reason she continued to stay in bed, terrified and shaking but unable to move. She suddenly became aware of a presence, and when she turned her heard she saw several figures in the room: two of them took hold of her shoulders, one on each side. She then felt warm and was stood straight up. Next, she was floated across the floor and out the front door, accompanied by a bright white light. The beings were short with large heads, large black eyes and long dangling arms. Her next memory was being back in her bedroom at 4:30 a.m. She again heard the loud noise, but this time it seemed to be leaving the area. She also noticed a strong odor in the room that went away after a few moments.

Event 52918 (F39C8F4C)

Date: 10/15/2000
Description: The second apparent abduction and missing time experience occurred at eleven o’clock that night in Martins Ferry, Ohio. A man was sleeping when he was jolted awake by the sound of the bedroom window being pried open. When his eyes came into focus, he saw two figures already inside the room and a third coming inside. The figures appeared to be slightly luminous. The terrified witness could not speak, and began to sway back and forth on his bed. One of the figures then became dark and apparently approached the witness. He now felt hands around his mouth, and was lifted up. He then became unconscious, and could not remember anything else of the incident. The next day his neighbor mentioned something about seeing a strange object on the ground in a nearby field.

Event 52919 (0639845E)

Date: 10/19/2000
Description: At ten o’clock in the evening a white object hovered low over a school in Chiu-Chiu, Atacama, Chile. Fresia Berlina Vega, a young woman, was playing with 10-year-old Valentina, daughter of a local schoolteacher, on the school grounds when they both saw a bright star-like light suddenly appear in the sky. The light quickly descended towards the witnesses, emitting bright blue, red and yellow flashes of light. They could see a huge round object, the size of a soccer field, that hovered just outside the school perimeter at 40 feet above the ground. Next, a noise like a thunder clap was heard, and a panel opened on the object and a bright beam of light shone down from the object illuminating both of them. Fresia felt a cold wave envelope her body. The beam of light then retreated back into the object and another thunderclap was heard. The object remained above the witnesses for a few more moments in which Fresia again felt a definite change of temperature, and she felt her head was swelling up. Momentarily, she was overcome with a state of complete relaxation, and she felt a prickling sensation invade her entire body. Meanwhile, Valentina felt the same presence and complained of a headache and discomfort in her nose; she was later to suffer from insomnia. They may have experienced missing time and had a brief abduction experience at this time, because they were both found dazed and shivering. As the object moved away towards a nearby cemetery both witnesses felt a slight tremor in the earth. Fresia reported some beneficial aftereffects from the encounter, because a persistent back pain went away, but she also experienced irregularities with her menstrual cycle. She felt also more relaxed and at ease. She would have peculiar “dreams” in which several short dark human-like figures with large heads would approach her and ask her how she was feeling. They reassured her that things were going to improve in her life. She further described the beings as about 1.50 meters in height, wearing thick soled boots. She is convinced that she will see them again some day.

Description: Anthony Walsh left his girlfriend’s house in Accrington, England at 1:00 a.m. and was walking along Duckworth Street when he heard a sound like a moan and then saw a flash of light that temporarily blinded him. When his vision returned he was inside a capsule-shaped craft. The inside of the capsule was dull and featureless. Inside he was met by a tall being who had no ears nor mouth and a metallic gray hue, but otherwise humanoid in appearance. It had tiny eyes that seemed to penetrate the witness’s mind. On one side there was a control panel with shiny knobs, which flashed silver as he approached them. There were no windows or door seals. There was also a constant vibrating hum in the air. In the center of the capsule the abductee saw a large rotating silver cube that seemed to defy gravity. The cube changed color to red, and then some strange symbols became visible. Soon after the incident the witness suffered from severe toothaches and smelled a strong odor like body odor with no known source.

Description: Several witnesses in Oakville, Ontario, Canada first saw six chevron or V-shaped craft fly and land behind a hill at around nine o’clock in the morning. They went closer to see better and saw eight of the objects, three of them already on the ground. All of the craft appeared to be damaged. Four beings, with light brown skin and large oval-shaped eyes, came out of one of the objects and seemed to inspect their craft. When they turned around and saw the witnesses there next was a loud, piercing noise, causing the witnesses to lose consciousness. When they recovered consciousness, all of the craft had gone, and they discovered several puncture wounds in their skin. After the experience their watches were all four hours behind the correct time. One of the witnesses subsequently suffered from nightmares, when she dreamed she saw similar looking beings inserting needles into her body.

Description: A farmer on his farm southeast of Lincoln, Nebraska heard his dogs barking loudly at around 7:00 p.m. He looked outside and noticed a very bright light in one of his fields, so he decided to walk out there with his dogs. However, the dogs were afraid and refused to follow him. As he got closer to where the lights were located they suddenly turned off, and he decided to go back to the farm home. When he got back his dogs acted aggressively toward him, as if they didn’t recognize him. He then ran upstairs to the second floor and used his binoculars to search the field. He could now see a lighted disc-shaped object on or near the ground, and he was able to see what looked like lighted windows on the object. Next, he noticed movement in a thicket near the disc, and suddenly a figure moved quickly from the thicket to the object. Shortly after this the object brightened and took off.

Description: A story is relayed to Jacques Vallée about cattle mutilations and a US Army black program. In 1977, Deputy Sheriff Jerry Simons under orders from Sheriff Darius Carter tracked three helicopters involved in a mutilation incident to Logan-Cache Airport. As Simmons tried to block a companion plane, he felt threatened by the helicopters and a man who got out of one of the helicopters. There was a US Army marking on the bottom of one helicopter but they were otherwise unmarked; the man proclaimed he had no identification and wasn’t going to provide anything, confidently smiling when the sheriff told him to stop the mutilations. Kit Green reacted to the report while Vallee heard it and suggested it was a USG black operation.

Compartments of the covert group are also involved in disinformation, public deception, UAP tracking and specialized liaison groups (to media, political leaders, scientific community, corporate community, etc). The individuals involved are personnel inside IC SAPs, black units inside corporate entities and select liaisons within the international community, religious groups, etc., the briefing claims.

Phillips states Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch is “getting pretty close” to what is going on, and adds that there is “a lot” going on in Utah, including where some of “our” associate scientists are working on UAP related technologies at private laboratories.

Phillips also said he started a company Light City Technologies Inc. where he mentions doing UAP related work and having access to certain technologies. He also suggests the company partnered with EG&G and contracted scientists to do work for them; it is unknown if those same scientists owned private labs in Utah where this work was being done.

Description: 10:30 p.m. Farm manager George Hofer and several children from the Rosedale Hutterite Brethren Colony near Etzikom, Alberta, see a brilliant fireball falling and apparently striking the Earth only a few miles away. On April 16, Ken Masson, who farms 13 miles south of Etzikom, discovers a circular, crater-like formation on his land. On May 1, Pano Karkanis of the University of Lethbridge Department of Geography visits the site, interviews the witnesses, measures the crater, and takes soil samples. The crater is 6 inches deep, with an inside diameter of 7.9 feet, surrounded by a mound of dirt 16 inches high. He notes four indentations inside the circle that he suspects are caused by rainwater. The dirt inside is cracked and sere, and he finds some odd reddish-brown particles of dirt on the mound. He concludes the crater was formed by a meteorite fragment that vaporized, leaving only the reddish-brown particles. Meteorite impact expert Alan Hildebrand the University of Calgary doubts the crater was made by a meteorite.

Event 53016 (94D65DC4)

Date: 4/5/2001
Description: (Translated from French) Mr. A.J.A. steps out of his house to have a cigarette when suddenly he notices a figure approaching from his right. At first he thinks it’s a large owl, but as it flies directly in front of him he realizes it’s a strange creature. As the creature flies near a nearby street lamp, the witness notices it’s a humanoid shape with a very large head, no wings, and flying at a constant altitude, without making any noise. The body is about 1.4 m long. It seems to be covered in a dark green “braided” fur. It has a pear-shaped head, but the witness can’t see its eyes. It has long thin arms. As the creature flies in front of the witness for about 10 m, he feels a cold sweat and an illogical panic. The creature flies next to the street lamp and makes a 90° turn, quickly disappearing from view. The street lights go out as the creature flies by and then turn back on later. (April 5th, 12:20 PM)

Date: 4/8/2001
Description: (Translated from French) Two boys, aged 13 and 14, returning to the village of San Rafael reported seeing in a wooded area two large, luminous, almond-shaped green eyes. Suddenly, a large form jumped into the air, about 6 m, and flew over them, pushing them back with a powerful cold air current. One of the boys had a cell phone and noticed that it had turned on by itself and had dialed the number 1 several times. They also noticed that the light from the street lamp had dimmed. A few minutes later, a larger form, about 15 m away, also took off and landed on the roof of a nearby truck, while the other dark form landed on the roof of a house and was lost from sight. (April 8)

Event 53036 (AB84A6B2)

Date: 5/2/2001
Description: In Rosario, Argentina a woman, “M” found herself being lifted into a whirlwind at two o’clock in the morning, presumably from her bedroom, but she doesn’t know how she got outdoors. She was oriented vertically as she floated upwards, and was able to move her arms and look around as she did so.

She approached a powerful light that seemed to emanate from a hole in the sky. She then noticed three humanoids floating next to her, who accompany her through the orifice. Looking down, she could see the roof of her house, then watched as the house became smaller, and then the city of Rosario itself faded into the distance. As she continued to ascend into the sky she fell asleep, but an intense cold wave woke her up and she heard what sounded like a metallic hatch closing.

She noticed she had a dark room through a hexagonal opening. As her eyesight adjusted noticed that she was in an immense room with about 20 floating cots, each with a human figure on them. To her right she noticed her 45-year-old sister asleep on one of the cots. She also recalled seeing a black skinned man lying about 4 cots away. In the background she could hear a low steady snoring sound. She began to hear what appeared to be low “voices” that spoke very quickly among themselves. Almost at the same time three humanoids approached her. They were about 1.60 meters tall, very thin, with elongated hairless heads, two small holes for noses, and cat-like eyes that glowed a bluish-gray color. Their hands had three large fingers connected by a membrane and a separate finger or thumb. Their bodies were of a beige-pale color and appeared very flexible, almost gelatinous. They possessed small mouths and what appeared to be a small protuberance on top of their heads.

She sensed there were both females and males present but could not see any sexual features. At this point she sensed desperation from the beings as if their time was short because their species was unable to reproduce. One of the beings seemed to measure her cranium with a thin tube about 30 cm in length that emitted a beam of light from the tip. As the tube or bar was passed over her head she felt a slight sensation of warmth. She also sensed that the aliens had chosen Earth for a reproduction staging area, acquiring the necessary materials, which were human genetic materials from both genders.

She could hear other thoughts or speech in her mind and felt that the beings talked about her and about her knowledge. At this point another one of the beings seemed to measure her face from ear to ear at the same time telling her via telepathy that everything was going to be fine. The witness felt that the aliens needed human bodies as some kind of breeding “container” for their own survival purposes.

She became terrified as the three humanoids approached her to touch her. She asked them if they are spiritual beings and they answer yes, but she felt it was only an attempt to manipulate her mind. One of the humanoids attempted to touch her breasts but she pushed his arm aside and noticed that it had a gummy texture with no apparent bone structure. On her descent back to her home she remembered seeing images of famous persons flash around her, including John F. Kennedy, Adolph Hitler, and Judy Garland. She woke up in her bed with her concerned husband attempting to calm her down.

Westwood tells him a month later that “Puthoff really wants to find the hardware,” despite Westwood believing none such hardware actually existed. Westwood states an Operation Shocker used disinformation including false UAP data to trick Soviet Russia to believe the US had capabilities it didn’t; double agents were used for this.

Event 53044 (543B0956)

Date: 5/9/2001
Locations: Washington, D.C.; Roswell, New Mexico
Description: Twenty government workers from military and civilian organizations speak about their experiences regarding UFOs and UFO confidentiality at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The press conference is initiated by Steven M. Greer, founder of the Disclosure Project, which has the goal of disclosing alleged government UFO secrecy. The purpose of the press conference is to build public pressure through the media to obtain a hearing before the US Congress on the issue. Aerospace illustrator Mark McCandlish testifies that gravity control propulsion research started in the 1950s and successfully reverse engineered the vehicle retrieved from the Roswell, New Mexico, crash site to build three Alien Reproduction Vehicles (ARVs) by 1981. McCandlish describes their propulsion systems in terms of Thomas Townsend Brown’s gravitators and provides a line drawing of its interior. The diagram closely resembles the drawing provided earlier in Milton William Cooper’s book Behold a Pale Horse. Another Disclosure Project whistleblower, Philip J. Corso, states in his book The Day after Roswell that the craft retrieved from the second crash site at Roswell had a propulsion system resembling Brown’s gravitators. Corso’s book also features several gravity control propulsion statements made by Hermann Oberth. Although major American media outlets report on the conference, interest quickly dies down, and no hearing takes place.

Event 53045 (32229FF6)

Date: 5/9/2001
Description: Aerospace illustrator Mark McCandlish testifies at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. that gravity propulsion research began in the 1950s and successfully reverse engineered recovered UAP to build three USG/USG contractor-made vehicles by 1981 and was kept secret. McCandlish describes their propulsion matches early concepts by Thomas Townsend Brown using electrogravitics.

McCandlish states he saw three antigravity saucers in a hanger at Norton Air Force Base allegedly called “Flux Liners.” He also claims Lockheed Martin at one time possessed a flying triangle shaped like a dart that flew with the blunt end forward, found in a crash retrieval operation in East Germany in 1989.

Note: Thomas Townsend Brown served on the initial board of governors for U.S. civilian UAP research organization NICAP with Col. Robert B. Emerson, RADM Delmer S. Fahrney, Gen. William E. Kepner and Brig. Gen. Thomas B. Catron among others. While McCandlish states the UAP he saw were based off of Brown’s research, more recent studies by mainstream scientists show no anti-gravity effects and attribute the phenomena to ionic drift. NASA has studied Brown’s claims and found no anti gravitic force. It is unclear if McCandlish, an illustrator, was simply wrong about the reverse engineered craft’s theoretical construct and they do exist, or if he is fabricating the information.

Description: James Woodward and Thomas Mahood of California State University, and Paul March of Lockheed Martin Space Operations publish a paper on altering the mass of
small test samples of lead zirconate titanate (PZT), a piezoelectric compound. Woodward and March achieve small mass reduction with small energies and say large mass fluctuation of PZT could be achieved with only moderately increased power, but it’s beyond the scope of that study.

Then it emits mist from its upper area and becomes enshrouded with the light shining through. Then the light blinks off, leaving only a cloud that stands there for about one minute. It disappears 5–10 seconds afterward.

A number of witnesses notice a red, round ball moving slowly in the air. When it stops it begins to spin, turning into a rotating segmented ring of pale yellow light. The ring becomes larger in diameter, coming closer to the ground where it gets as large as 600 feet in diameter. After a short period of time it climbs again, still rotating but shrinking and turning into a red dot that moves around in the sky until it starts rotating again and repeating the cycle some 8–20 times over the course of 45 minutes. Some witnesses see it as a dark red cloud lit from inside by squares of light. The display ceases sometime after midnight and the power returns mysteriously at around 2:00 a.m.

In the center of the object a door opened, and two one-meter tall humanoids stepped out. They appeared to be interested in the vegetation around the object. After a few minutes of investigation, they re-entered the object, which became bright again and took off at high speed.

Event 53071 (357D6F5E)

Date: 7/14/2001
End date: 7/15/2001
Locations: Staten Islanders; Carteret, New Jersey; Arthur Kill Road; West Shore Expressway; New York side; Waterloo Cafe; Blazing Star Burial Ground
Description: Evening–night. Dozens of Staten Islanders and residents of Carteret, New Jersey, observe lights in the southwestern sky on a clear, cloudless night. The lights appear in various formations at about 45° above the horizon. Witnesses view the scene from Arthur Kill Road and the West Shore Expressway on the New York side. The Waterloo Cafe, located opposite the Blazing Star Burial Ground on Arthur Kill Road, provides the most significant witnesses. The consensus of their testimonies reveals a series of lights, numbering from 4–5 to as many as 16–20, bright orange or orange-red in hue, and appearing as solid round objects. Witnesses number about 50, including the owner of the cafe, but not all come forward. Those who do, agree that there was no sound emanating from the lights, and no one can see any wings. The lights are often no more than 1,000 feet in the air, often described as flying in an inverted V-shaped configuration. Unknown targets without transponders, some at heights of 99,000 feet, are picked up on radar at Newark International Airport.

Event 53072 (7D69742A)

Date: 7/15/2001
Description: Independent witnesses reported a large flying triangle in Carteret and Sayerville, New Jersey. A first witness at 12:15 a.m. reported V-shaped formations of lights hovering, and then fading out one by one. Another witness saw a large flying triangle heading for Carteret. Other witnesses, further south along the New Jersey Turnpike, saw airline flights heading to Newark Airport apparently being diverted because of the presence of UFOs in the early morning hours between 12:25 and 12:55 a.m. Unconfirmed reports indicate that radars in the New York area picked up a series of anomalous targets at same time. These targets roughly matched the ground witnesses’ testimony of seeing lights over the New Jersey Turnpike. Dozens of cars came to a stop on the NJ Turnpike to watch the lights as they passed overhead. The Carteret case is significant because it occurred the day after a successful US antimissile test in the Pacific. Carteret is only ten miles from New York City, and numerous police and firefighters took video of the event which was shown on many television broadcasts. New York radar operators indicated that dozens of anomalous targets were racing around the area. According to MUFON field investigator and pilot Bob Durant, “In the short time the lights were displayed on screen, it was obvious that they were moving right to left at a slow but deliberate angular velocity. There was no relative movement among the lights. The top of a house or building, and possibly a chimney on a house, is visible in the video scene. There were a total of 10 lights arranged in three groups. Beginning from the left on the screen, this corresponds with the foremost lights. We see five lights, then a space, then four lights, a much longer space and a single light, which brings up the rear of the moving set. There is no obvious symmetry to either the group of five or group of four lights, or to the entire group of lights. The lights depicted in the video are large, steady, and white, though there is some slight but perceivable variation in diameter among them. One of the lights, momentarily, nearly ‘goes out’, diminishing to a tiny point and then resuming its original size.”

After a few seconds the humanoid disappeared. She described it as about 1.05 meters in height, with very big jet-black eyes, slanting up. His head was oval-shaped and bald. His color was gray like smoke. No other details were noted because of the witness state of panic and the short duration of the encounter. There were unconfirmed reports of UFO’s seen in the area that night.

The students had been sleeping when a very strong wind suddenly woke them up. The wind was so strong that it began to disconnect the ground ties of their tent from the sandy ground. Thinking it was a storm, they ran out and were confronted by the huge disc, which had numerous bright lights on its top and windows in the center. A small door quickly opened and two short humanoids came out. The UFO and the humanoids were about 200 meters away from the witnesses. The little men seemed to be collecting ground samples when they became aware of the presence of the students. They ignored them and after several minutes reboarded the craft, which took off at high speed. Deep ground traces were found at the landing site.

Despite having a camera with him in the car, he was too slow to get a photo. The size of the light went down, as if someone hit a dimmer switch, and it went yellow. It moved into the distance and then disappeared.

Event 53165 (0663E7B5)

Date: 2002
Description: Author Nick Cook states Hal Puthoff (eventual AATIP scientist, see 25 March 2022) tells him the “evidence is pretty solid” that there are black budget aerospace programs that contravene white world understanding of the laws of physics. Puthoff states the most likely candidate for exotic propulsion is the perturbation of space-time by understanding the link between electromagnetism and gravity.

• https://archive.org/details/huntforzeropoint0000cook/mode/1up

Note: NASA BPP was working on five methods of antigravity at this time: (1) inertia change through sudden energy density change, (2) zero-point energy, (3) perturbation of spacetime through electromagnetism and gravity, (4) superluminal quantum tunneling and (5) gravity shielding through use of rapidly spinning superconductors. Puthoff claimed No. 3 was the most likely to be fueling the development of a black budget antigravity program at the time.

Event 53187 (3C183B38)

Description: Kit Green writes to Jacques Vallée and tells him he spoke with an Air Force physician, Brig. Gen. Donald Flickinger, MD. Flickinger told Green in 1994 that years earlier he saw “alien autopsy” materials when he was the first Air Force MD to make the rank of General Officer. Flickinger worked on manned spaceflight projects and after that, worked in the VIP health program in Green’s division of the CIA. Flickinger claims the autopsy materials were real, something Green also says: “I have never believed the notes were hoaxes.” Vallee writes this is credible evidence of a secret program with access to biological materials. Days later, Eric Davis says a Lt. Col. Dr. Robert Parvin Williams is alleged to have participated in an “alien dissection”; Puthoff also gives the names Dr. Robert Crowley and Col. John Grime.

Event 53190 (EC9CBB1A)

Date: 3/26/2002
Description: A pharmaceutical products salesman was returning along a desrted road around 3 p.m. in Cazalla de la Sierra, Spain when he noticed an object resembling a shiny pear ahead in the middle of the roadway. It was resting on three metallic legs. Somewhat perplexed, he continued to drive closer, and then notice two very tall humanoid beings standing in a nearby field. They were over two meters tall, and wore tight-fitting, white coveralls and helmets resembling those worn by the early astronauts.

He parked his vehicle and approached the two strange figures on foot. One of the men walked away and entered the pear-shaped craft, while the other remained behind. Knowing that these men were “not from this Earth”, he still asked the remaining humanoid if he needed any assistance. He felt when he approached the strange pair he had entered some kind of a trance, and he seemed to be floating over the road. The being replied and appeared to be genuinely pleased with his offer of assistance, but said that everything was in order. He said that the area was very beautiful and also added, “Humans don’t know what they have. Where we come from we don’t have such beautiful scenes; they disappeared a long time ago.”

The astounded witness next managed to ask the being where he came from. He was told that they hailed from another dimension, a concept that humans have not yet assimilated. The humanoid smiled when he answered the question. The being then bid goodbye and walked towards the nearby shiny pear-shaped object; he then disappeared inside of it. Then the craft emitted a loud whisting sound and disappeared at very high speed towards some nearby cliffs. The witness described the humanoids as about 2.5 meters in height, with wide chests and heavy set, thin legs, generally human features, but with somewhat “refined” or sharpened features. Their suits were very tight fitting, and made of an apparent synthetic material resembling plastic. They eyes were very light, almost white, and their speed was hesitant and accented. Also, their movements seemed kind of clumsy.

He also states he knows the name and last location of a senior officer who had first hand knowledge of USG alien reproduction vehicles (ARVs) at Area 51 and associated locations, and that he knew the name and current location of a retired senior flag-rank officer who was directly involved in government interaction with a significant UFO event on the east coast of the US. Miller finally states he has a list of civilian government contractors who most likely have involvement and knowledge of USG work in “alien-derived technologies, crashes, landing and associated events.”

Note: There are only so many anti gravity experts in the United States. Were any of them working on UAP-related projects using their public research as cover? Cameron referenced
UFOs in a press release in 2004. Haisch has reference them before. Puthoff participated in the Pentagon’s AATIP program studying UAP and advised the ATP Group at BDM Intl. on UAP from the perspective of the CIA’s remote viewing program. Did any of these scientists listed above hold unexpected clearances during the last three decades when they would have worked on antigravity programs?

Note: Journalist Ross Coulthart publicly states (see May/June 2022) Huntsville, Alabama is a location where ongoing deep black antigravity work is being done. Unknown if it is a legal effort or done using a control/funding mechanism outside of government oversight. Several of those researchers listed above have worked in Huntsville (Campbell, Li, Cameron).

They were shaped like an elongated triangle with a white light in each corner, and a red light in the bottom center. The lights appeared to be on one object, which slowly moved across the road. They turned off the highway to pursue it. They later sighted two more craft with indistinct lights. They could hear the sound of roaring jet engines apparently coming from the lights/craft, as they seemed to fly along slowly. They went back to the area where they observed the first object and once again observed hovering lights. The lights crossed the road again and then disappeared as Dr. Pugh continued to negotiate traffic.

The man then allegedly told Kisling he was from a “secret Pentagon office” that had recovered “out of this world” material from a crash near the Mexican border close to El Paso. No other details were given.

Event 53226 (81946730)

Date: 7/21/2002
Description: Argentine Policeman Guillermo Arias was on patrol in Chaj’n, Cordoba Province, Argentina at 11:00 p.m. when a radio call alerted him that police in neighboring Achiras had sighted lights heading toward them. As he was driving his police patrol van he spotted a formation of seven lights, and followed them for 10 kilometers down a rural dirt road when his vehicle’s engine died, his dashboard lights and interior lights began turning on and off, and his radio went haywire with the dial displaying random frequencies. The van also filled with an acrid odor like burnt wiring. Badly frightened, Arias ran from his van and in the process lost his mobile phone. At this point an immense light rose from an adjacent field, coming from a large, 200 meter long, triangular object. He described it as looking like a “floating city” with a long row of about 100 windows.

Sr. Arias then saw something moving behind him, which he described as “non-human” in appearance. Numerous beams of light came out of the giant triangle craft, directed at the ground for several seconds. The object suddenly rose and sped away, illuminating the area like daylight. Recovering from his fear, Arias returned to the van and notified his fellow officers of his experience. He was told that reinforcements were being sent out to meet him. Patrolman Barrios from Achiras talked to him over the radio, trying to keep him calm, while Sgt. Medina was the first backup officer to arrive on the scene. He was joined by Sgt. Cordoba, among other officers, who reached the rural location to lend their assistance to their comrade in distress.

Event 53227 (85CF21F9)

Date: 7/26/2002
Description: (Translated from French) A local radio station in Washington receives several calls from witnesses of unusual activity in the sky of Maryland. Residents near the Andrews AFB are woken up in the morning by unusual activity. Many witnesses saw a spherical UFO shining blue or orange being chased by two fighter jets not far from the Washington Capitol. These two F-16 are part of the 113th squadron of the Andrews AFB armed with air-to-air missiles. According to witnesses, the UFO was silent, without smoke or flashing lights. The army states that the two F-16 saw nothing. This event occurs exactly 50 years after a wave of UFOs flew over the Washington Capitol, with radar recording and pursuit by fighter jets (Friday, July 26)

Date: 7/26/2002
Locations: Andrews AFB, Maryland; Washington, D.C.; Brandywine, Maryland; Waldorf, Maryland
Description: 1:00–1:55 a.m. Near Andrews AFB, Maryland, just outside of Washington, D.C., independent witnesses 8 miles apart become aware of unusual and persistent aircraft activity. In both locations, witnesses see odd lights or objects pursued by one military jet. Two pairs of fighters take off from Andrews at 1:00 a.m., remain airborne for 50 minutes, fly at low altitude using afterburners over residential areas, and pursue an unidentifiable light on three occasions. Gary Dillman, working late shift at a sand-and-gravel operation in Brandywine, Maryland, sees the first two fighters at 1:00 a.m., then at 1:30 a.m. and 1:40 a.m. he sees a glowing, round, hard-edged orange object that one of the fighters is chasing. The pursuit takes place between broken clouds at about 4,000 feet and a light overcast at about 6,000 feet; the unknown object and fighter are about 1–2 miles away. In Waldorf, Maryland, around 1:35 a.m. Renny Rogers feels the walls of his home rattling from a low-flying aircraft and goes out to see a single jet fighter. At 1:40 a.m., he sees a bright, pale-bluish light in the north-northeast moving at a high rate of speed. He calls a neighbor to come watch the display. Soon a fighter comes over his house in obvious pursuit of the light and about 1,000–2,000 feet behind it. The four fighters return to base around 1:50 a.m.

Event 53232 (A69FDF25)

Date: 7/28/2002
Description: Three girls in Tahmoor, Queensland, Australia had decided to visit their rooftop as they had done the prior evening to watch for satellites. It was around 5:30 p.m. and dusk and the girls had a good vantage point looking towards the east. They had a pair of binoculars and a pair of walkie-talkies with them. The girls first noticed that a large orange light appeared approximately 15 degrees above the eastern horizon. The light had fluctuating colors of orange, yellow, white and pale blue. At fist they thought it was an arriving airplane, but then a second light appeared approximately 50 degrees south of the first anomaly, and about 10 degrees above the horizon. This much smaller anomaly began to perform some unusual maneuvers. From a stationary position it accelerated within a second to 5 degrees closer to the ground. The first light then began to move slowly north. They lost sight of it as it moved behind a tree. Then a third anomaly appeared in a valley. This third object appeared to have landed on the ground. The object was viewed through the binoculars and was described as a gray saucer with interchanging colors of green, red/orange, blue/purple and white rotating around the rim.

They were suddenly distracted by someone on their walkie-talkie saying, “Identify yourself.” This was followed by some unusual voices communicating in an unknown language. Around 6:30 p.m. the girls were called down to have dinner, but at 8:30 p.m. they had gone back up on the roof after dinner. To their surprise, the third ground-based object was still there. Unexpectedly, a yellow beam of light ascended a few meters above the object and suddenly deviated its course towards the three girls. “It was like an orange, yellowy bright light shining on us from far away.” The light shone on them for a period of about half a minute. At this point, it was not clear how it happened, but one of the girls ended up on the ground. She became extremely hysterical and ran inside. The other two girls quickly followed her. That evening all three girls had stomach pains. One of them could not sleep and did not go to school the next day. Another one of the girls woke up the next morning with a nose bleed, and she mentioned that she had seen a strange small human like figure in her bedroom.

Event 53234 (8F991E35)

Date: 7/29/2002
Description: BBC News publishes a story that claims researchers at Boeing are using the work of Russian scientist Eugene Podkletnov (see 4 February 2020) to create an antigravity device. BBC reports the project is run in “top secret” by Boeing Phantom Works, and states documents they obtained show it occurs in a Project GRASP (Gravity Research Applied to Space Propulsion).

Boeing denies it is funding the project with company money, and then states it cannot comment on GRASP or “black projects.”

Event 53235 (124B7C1B)

Date: 7/29/2002
Description: Jane’s Defense Weekly reports Boeing Project GRASP documents it obtains state “if gravity modification is real, it will alter the entire aerospace business.” GRASP’s objective is to explore anti-gravity and evaluate Eugene Podkletnov’s experiments. Boeing
states this technology could impact space launch systems, artificial gravity on spacecraft, aircraft propulsion and fuelless electricity generation.

GRASP documents also state the work could be engineered into a radical weapon; high-power experiments using an “impulse gravity generator” can produce a beam of “gravity-like” energy that can exert instantaneous force of 1,000g on any object, enough to vaporize it. Boeing GRASP documents state its examination of Podkletnov’s work show a gravity beam laboratory in Russia can already repel objects up to 200 kilometers away, something that could be used as a ballistic missile shield or anti-satellite weapon.

Boeing attempted to work with Podkletnov directly but were not allowed to due to Russian technology transfer controls. BAE Systems and Lockheed Martin also contacted Podkletnov but he stated he would only work in the “white world” as he is anti-military. Boeing documents seen by Jane’s Defense Weekly admit “classified activities in gravity modification may exist.”

Event 53262 (1D1CC45D)

Date: 9/15/2002
Description: At 2:45 a.m. Denny Unger decided to step outside on a clear and windless night in Leduc, Alberta, Canada. He saw three points of light forming a flying triangle. “My first thought was that I was having a dizing spell, so I refocused, and the lights were there.” Thirty seconds later the flying triangle of lights changed direction from north to east, and appeared to blot out stars as it passed them without making any sound. The lights on each tip were solid white, but of low intensity. He had the distinct impression that the corner lights were used to camouflage the object, and it was doing its best not to be seen. It was completely silent. He grabbed his video camera inside the house and began filming the object, but soon lost sight of it as it flew behind a neighbor’s house. A triangle formation of lights was all that was captured on video.

Date: 9/15/2002
Description: At 8:00 p.m. a husband and wife and their two children were driving home to Mercier, Quebec from their country place near Huntington when the wife sighted what appeared to be really bright stars. After five minutes, as they got closer the two lights ahead changed position, and what she saw gave her shivers. It was a distinct flying triangular shape, with lights at all three corners, unlike any aircraft and larger than a Boeing 747. Her husband said he could “see through it”. They all watched the low flying object for 10 minutes as it flew overhead.

Date: 9/25/2002
Description: (Translated from French) In Vitimsky (30 km from the big town of Mama, Eastern Siberia), the villagers are woken up abruptly. Shards of glass, broken dishes, then a dull rumble. For a moment, many believe it to be a major earthquake. But the dazzling flash that lit up the sky erases all doubts. The event was not terrestrial but celestial. Something had fallen from the sky. Immediately, all possibilities are considered. Journalist Evguénii Pouchkarev, from the local newspaper No. 1, quotes an anonymous military man who believes it may be the fall of a missile that has deviated from its nominal trajectory. The thesis of space debris is quickly discarded: Indeed, surveillance satellites detect and track on several orbits all objects resulting from the disintegration of a space vehicle, explains Fernand Alby, from CNES. To validate the thesis of a meteorite, a fragment of meteorite must be found. The Americans, on the other hand, have determined with their satellites the point of impact and its energy, estimated at 0.2 kilotons of TNT… (1 h 50)

Description: 5:45 p.m. Security Policeman Christopher Cabrera is on guard an entry control point at the Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary Field [now Creech AFB] in Clark County, Nevada. He looks toward the base and sees an amber/red object hovering above it. He stares at it for about 2 minutes then suddenly a red beam shoots out from the orb and hits the side of the nearest mountain. The beam lasts about one minute and Cabrera notices what looked like molten rock dripping from the mountain. The beam abruptly ceases and the orb just disappears. A few seconds later, the molten effect on the mountain also dissipates.

The main witness reported, “My friends own an Internet café, and I closed up late that night. It had been raining, but the rain stopped as I left the café at 3:30 a.m.” It was a very dark night, and when he looked up he saw a huge disc-shaped object, 500-600 meters in diameter, hovering overhead. It was so close that it blocked the rain. He saw one man shoot his pistol at it about eight times, and the UFO started to move away, where upon it started to rain again. “The police came and arrested the man. I’m 100% sure this was a UFO.”

Event 53285 (2791FB0B)

Date: 10/16/2002
Description: EarthTech International employee Dr. Eric Davis, author of several AATIP products years later, allegedly meets with VADM Thomas R. Wilson in a car outside of EG&G Special Projects in Las Vegas. Davis transcribes the interaction where he was told the following: VADM Wilson found records of a UAP reverse engineering program using technology “not of this Earth,” it was protected by a special agreement between the DOD Special Access Program Oversight Committee (SAPOC)’s Senior Review Group (SRG) and a large defense contractor he would not disclose.

Wilson states Gen. Michael Ward tells him to go to a special projects record group in OUSDAT files not belonging to usual SAP, but rather a group of special legacy holdover programs from before SAP restructuring efforts of the early 1990s. Wilson has this confirmed by OUSDAT officer Paul Kaminski, Director of SAPCO Brig. Gen. Mike Kostelnik and SecDef William J. Perry that the special records group exists and is UAP related. It is a special subset of waived carve-out SAPs obfuscated in the records by cover SAPs containing false descriptions. Wilson seemingly narrows down four UAP related SAPs and has these confirmed by Kaminski, Kostelnik and Perry, who tell him he has the correct contractor, only described as an undisclosed aerospace contractor, “one of the top ones in the US with intelligence in its portfolio.” Wilson states Perry wanted an investigation into cost overruns at the programs but was told to drop it by an undisclosed party.

Wilson next calls a program manager attached to the records group, who is joined by a security director and a corporate attorney, who are surprised when he discovered their program(s) are actually
UAP related (Wilson asks them about crashed UFOs and MJ-12). Wilson states they tell him they’re a “watch committee” of sorts, organized after an audit almost blew their cover, and a special agreement was struck between them, the auditor and SAPOC SRG to prevent disclosure in the future.

Wilson is invited to a facility, undisclosed, and meets the three individuals in a secure vault and is given a tour of the program He sees a bigot list 1990-1993 that has no Executive Branch, no staffers, no Clinton/Bush administrations, a few recognized names from OUSDAT, one from NSC and another Pentagon SES employee; most names were corporate scientists and engineers. Wilson is told it was not a weapons, intelligence or special ops program, it was a reverse engineering program from “something recovered years ago in the past,” technological hardware, an intact craft they believed could fly through space/water/air/dimensions. The PM next tells Wilson it is likely “not of this Earth, not made by human hands.” He is told the program had very slow progress and there was no collaboration.

Wilson next states he meets the SRG twice and asks for formal access to the four SAPs and is denied, and told by a leader in the SRG that if he doesn’t drop the matter, he will get early retirement and lose 1-2 stars. Wilson also states he talks to USDAT Jacques Gansler about the matter, who tells him UFOs are “real,” but alien abductions are not. Gansler also tells Wilson to drop the matter.

At the end of Davis’ and Wilson’s meeting, the contractor TRW is mentioned in relation to a Hughes Aircraft attorney Jeffrey W. Griffith and a client of his Mary Elizabeth Elliott. No additional context is given. Names not mentioned in the notes but are relevant include others involved in SAPOC or the SRG at the time: Noel Longuemare Jr., John P. White, John J. Hamre, William F. Moore, Richard “Dick” Williams and Gansler. Others involved in SAPOC who may be aware of the special agreement at the time of the SAP restructuring include John Deutch, Walter Slocombe, William A. Owens, Emmett Paige Jr., Lin Wells, John Ellis, Charles Bill Moore, Kostelnik and Kaminski.

Description: 7:40 p.m. Pilot Thomas J. Preziose takes off from Mobile, Alabama, in a Cessna 208B single-engine cargo plane en route to Montgomery. Six minutes later, he collides with an unknown object at 3,000 feet and descends uncontrolled into swampy water in the Big Bateau Bay in Spanish Fort, Alabama. The pilot’s final words are: “Night Ship 282, I needed to deviate, I needed to deviate.” A strange red residue (“transfer marks”) is found coating at least 14 different areas of the downed airplane that are widely separated in location both inside and outside the aircraft. The engine block has been split. The final NTSB report indicates that the accident is caused by pilot disorientation. However, an independent investigation finds numerous discrepancies with regard to both the FAA documentation and the NTSB investigation. The composition of the red residue is variously found to be tere- and isophthalate polymer with possible presence of inorganic silicate compounds; and epoxy material with some inorganic silicate filters.

Event 53292 (EED3BD05)

Date: 10/29/2002
Description: A witness named Ed reported that on the evening of October 29, at about 5:20 p.m., he sighted two triangle-shaped object flying over his home, located 15 miles southeast of Spokane, Washington. Ov the hills to the east he first noticed a very bright light on an object heading WSW. It had a bright white headlight, and what looked like normal red and green navigation lights on the wing tips, a white strobe light on the bottom, and dim white lights on the underside corners. He also heard what sounded like a muted jet aircraft engine sound. However, what seemed out of place was the extremely bright, single headlight on the nose, not the normal landing lights. Within a minute he saw a second similar craft with three dim lights in the corners, and no discernable fuselage. He contacted Fairchild AFB and talked with the Public Affairs officer, who basically said that unless an unidentified aircraft appeared on their radar, “we don’t care!” He added, “I just want to emphasize that the B-2 and the F-117 fighter have a distinctive ‘saw-tooth’ pattern to the trailing edge of their wings. The craft which I observed appeared to have a perfectly straight trailing edge–just like a triangle and was at least as large as the B-2.”

U.S. Army and NASA computers over the previous two years. McKinnon claims an image held at the Johnson Space Center’s Building 8 showed a “cigar shaped”object floating above the northern hemisphere in low-Earth orbit. McKinnon also stated he found an Excel document on a NASA server titled “non-terrestrial officers” that had the ranks and names of unknown USAF personnel. Another sheet had tabs for “material transfers between ships,” and when McKinnon tried to search the names of the ships, he did not find any corroboration in the PUBLIC DOMAIN. “ McKinnon used the program Landsearch to search files and folders on every machine. “

It had the apparent size of something one-quarter of an inch long held at arm’s length. Other objects were observed around the main object, but they were not real clear with the naked eye and they didn’t have binoculars. “As close as I could tell, the object was 40 to 50 miles away, which would have put it over Buena Vista, Colorado or west of it. In the video it appears that a plasma field or something was surrounding the object and two barbell-shaped objects are with it and staionary in conjunction with it.” The video did not show the intense white cigar in it, but rather a red and tan colored envelope. The object graduatlly diminished and disappeared before their eyes.

Event 53346 (0DC6D4BA)

Date: 1/22/2003
Description: The witness had just left work and was driving home when he reached a place by a small lake in Prospect, Connecticut at 10:03 p.m. He noticed someone walking along the road so he flashed on his high beams. He then saw the figure walk out from the side of the road, stop in the center for a second, then continue across. It was grayish in color and it was walking on two legs, but it ambulated like an ape walks, swaying as it walked erect. The feet were small with brownish-black areas on the side. When it reached the other side it stopped and looked at the witness, waving its skinny arms. Lights appeared behind it. The man described the creature as around six feet tall, with large, foot-long pointy ears. The eyes were dark black with no apparent nose. Although the weather was cold, the witness did not see any condensed breath come from its small mouth. The mouth had a red silver strip on top. As the witness drove by he looked back to see the creature still standing by the road, and the woods behind the creature suddenly lit up like day.

Date: 1/27/2003
Description: The witness was asleep in bed with her boyfriend at their home in Florida when she suddenly awoke and looked at the doorway and noticed two creatures that were “squishy” in appearance. They were dark colored and about three feet tall. By her bedside there was another creature, who was very tall, thin, and with large yellow eyes. It was between gray and lime-green in color. Terrified, she pulled the covers over her head, but suddenly she did not feel afraid anymore. She then felt very confused and does not know if she left her bed, but she could not speak. At one point she was lying on her stomach and something was being inserted in her rectum. When her fear returned a creature that somehow was made to appear human comforted her, telling her not to be afraid that she would not be hurt. The tall creature seemed very comforting towards the witness. He stood over her, patted her on her head and told her telepathically that they were not yet done. Soon she found herself back on her bed, very scared and confused.

Description: While pulling his car into the parking lot of the Behavioral Health Services Building in Winfield, Illinois the witness noticed three flashing objects coming down in the sky in front of the car. He next noticed more dropping out of the the sky until there were several. Most had red and white flashing lights, with no visible wings, and did not make a sound. Some had blue and aqua lights. Some were triangular, some cigar-shaped, and some were like small boxes with four perpendicular lights. The witness brought several people out from the building, and they all watched the spectacle together. Also during the sighting, a bona-fide helicopter with multi-colored lights flew over. A few of these objects left a contrail. The main witness had spent seven years in the Air Force, and was confident these were not conventional aircraft. He called 911, and a Winfield police officer responded and watched them with him. The lighted objects also discharged balls of light every once in awhile, which also flew around.

Description: 2:30 a.m. Some Air Force security policemen for Area 2, a weapons storage area of the Nevada Test Site [now the Nevada National Security Site], are having a meal outside when they notice a red glow at their feet. The light is coming from a giant sphere perhaps 100 feet across approaching them from the south. By the time they notice it, the reddish-orange object has passed silently overhead at about 75 feet altitude in a few seconds. Apparently, it projects a zone of silence and exerts a zone of pressure directly below it, causing the guards’ ears to pop. It disappears over some mountains to the north, where it apparently explodes in a burst of white light with no sound or shockwave. Building in intensity, the explosion keeps growing until it is painful to perceive through closed eyes, then quickly dies down. The light effects last for 5 seconds. The security controller orders all outside units to search for the downed object. They look until 7:00 a.m. but find nothing.

Event 53385 (8D29C6B1)

Date: 4/18/2003
Description: Kaliningrad, Russia - At 6:17 p.m. the entire Russian Baltic Fleet and a large number of local residents watched in awe as a flying wing shaped UFO flew rapidly over Kaliningrad Harbor and plunged into the water. The event was captured on video by a local RTR Russian State Television news crew, who happened to be present on the huge naval base filming a documentary. The UFO had two elongated dome-like protrusions on top, and three similar structures underneath. It passed directly over the Baltic Fleet, which lay at anchor in Kaliningrad Harbor. According to a Russian Naval Commander, who wished to remain anonymous, the craft was apparently caught within the sweep patterns of ship-borne radars, which automatically tracked its progress. This may have caused some a malfunction on board the craft that resulted in the crash. “It was traveling at a tremendous rate of speed” he said to the reporters on the scene. “It was very low, not more than 1500 meters above the surface of the water. When the radars came on, it simply winged over and dove into the water, as if had lost either power or control.”

The light gray craft had no apparent seams or rivet patterns and was estimated to be about the size of a small airliner. It was estimated to be traveling at speeds in excess of Mach 2 and was absolutely silent as it flew. However, it made a tremendous noise when it hit the water, causing a geyser of steam and water. ,It appeared to one civilian observer that whoever was in control of the craft made a deliberate effort to steer it away from the naval ships and the shoreline before it went into the harbor. One Sovremini Class Destroyer was slightly damaged by flying debris, but no injuries were reported. Radiation levels at the site were “higher than normal.” Debris recovered was small, less than a meter in diameter. Most debris recovered appeared to be “skin material” of an unknown alloy, and interior bracing and piping composed of a very high grade aluminum. The Navy cordoned off the area. In spite of the high speed at which the craft and it’s very low altitude there was no sonic boom heard.

Event 53386 (9EA044C6)

Date: 4/21/2003
Description: An employee of a local manufacturing plant in Concord, North Carolina had just finished his shift at 8:00 p.m. and had stepped out onto a dock behind a large stack of pallets to have a smoke. He then had the feeling of being watched, and he whirled around expecting to see a co-worker. Instead he saw a large purple light emanating from a teardrop-shaped craft with a round bottom, hovering nearby. The craft had a concave windshield, and behind the windshield he could see two glowing lights or eyes. They moved independently from one another. Terrified, the witness ran but was unable to scream, so he pointed out the object to a forklift operator. Next a beam of white light shot out of the UFO and struck the forklift. Immediately the electrical system of the vehicle shut down and the operator began screaming. The witness’s next memory was of sitting in the plant manager’s office. Someone was giving him oxygen and wiping his forehead with a cool cloth.

Event 53387 (020B7548)

Date: 4/22/2003
Description: At 4 p.m. Fire Chief Ezequiel Alvarez reported seeing a tall hairy humanoid, about 1.80 meters in height, in Rosario De La Frontera, Argentina. It moved very quickly and emitted loud inhuman screams. The creature apparently killed three dogs using its clawed hands. A local teacher reported finding a strange hairy cadaver on the side of the road, somewhat resembling the hairy humanoid but much smaller, and he noticed that it had testicles resembling those of a human being. He did not stop to pick up the body but drove on. Sightings of the tall hairy creature have repeatedly been made around the local dump.

Description: While driving home from work at 8:00 p.m. Mr. Marcus Warner saw a blue flashing light in his rear view mirror. He pulled to the side of the road in Pontypool, Gwent, Wales and stopped his car’s engine. He was then approached by some men in black suits resembling businessmen or government agents. At this point his memory began to fail, but he recalls one of the men leading him to an open area near the local “Burtons Biscuit Factory.” He then had a feeling of weightlessness and an intense feeling of calm. He remembered seeing a formation of figures, arranged into a ten pin bowling formation. He has a recurring image of a needle piercing his left eye. He has no recollection of driving the rest of the way home, but arrived there somehow. He has not, to date, undergone hypnosis in an attempt to recover the events that occurred during his amnesia.

Event 53390 (BE08B704)

Date: 5/2/2003
Description: Three young women returning from a bonfire in the Illinois countryside and had just finished putting away equipment and chairs into a shed. As they got back into their van, at around 3:30 a.m., one of them saw a figure standing a short distance off the driveway by a house. She pointed it out to the other two. Somewhat spooked, they drove back toward town. They described the figure as man-like, wearing light colored or white clothing. They headed over to the site of the bonfire, the embers of which were still glowing. Suddenly, in the glare of their van’s headlights they all saw two separate rows of creatures, with perhaps 15 standing in each row. They were about three or four feet tall and were standing only 15 feet away from them, directly in front of the van. One of the women wrote that they had “Christmas light heads” that were connected to their body, but she couldn’t see how. Their arms were up in the air, but she couldn’t see any hands. They appeared to be stick-like, and dark gray or brown in color. They did not move but stood perfectly still. The two girls riding as passengers began to scream for the driver to leave the area immediately. Terrified, they drove away and continued to drive around for the next two hours before they had enough courage to return to their homes.

Event 53392 (615631C3)

Date: 5/3/2003
Description: At 3:30 a.m. a man was sitting on his back porch in North Richland Hills, Texas looking out at the horse pasture behind his home. The pasture held several horses but he could not see them because they were at the other end of the field. He heard what sounded like the horses kicking a metal sheet and squealing loudly. He also heard dogs barking in the distance. Just as he strained to look over to the horse shed everything became completely quiet. The witness started to feel scared by the eerie silence, and as he stepped off his porch he started to hear a low whirring sound. He next saw a light beam flash on the ground in the middle of the pasture. The source was a black craft, hovering about 100 feet above the ground. It was shooting flashes of light at the ground from a pod on the right end of the craft. The craft had a multicolored mist or hot looking gas on the bottom of it, on the left side was what looked like a red rectangular window. Inside he could see movement, but at that moment he began to feel sick. The craft appeared to be about 50 feet long with a dull blue light on the top. After five minutes the whirring sound faded and the craft hovered silently for another two seconds before it zipped straight up and out of sight without a sound. He then noticed that the electrical power seemed to be off in the neighborhood.

Event 53393 (0D16377D)

Date: 5/3/2003
Description: Kit Green tells Jacques Vallée that a rock from Socorro, NM that allegedly had traces of metal abrasions from the landing gear of a UFO was analyzed at NASA-Goddard as early as 1964. The metal consisted of zinc and iron in an unusual ratio. Green says the samples arrived in CIA possession in 1982 and re-analyzed at Los Alamos, to which it was concluded it was an
aluminum-titanium alloy not from Earth. In 1992, Green used resources at General Motors (while serving as executive director of materials research) to study the sample. Green’s work at GM corroborated the material was titanium and aluminum.

Description: At 1:30 a.m. four triangular UFOs were sighted over Yosemite National Park in California; one of the crafts was very large and transparent. Camping up on Yosemite at about 7,000 feet elevation, the night was clear and cool when the witnesses were just about to turn in for the night and they saw a bright blue flash south of their campsite. Next, they saw one very large triangular craft appear after the flash. This was followed by two more flashs, not blue, northwest of the campsite and two smaller craft appeared, and then a fourth craft appeared southwest. This last one was the largest and almost transperent; we could see the stars through the craft. “At this point we were very frightened,” the main witness reported. There was no noise from the craft, and the animals around the campsite and your normal forest sounds had gone silent. The four witnesses went into their truck and armed themselves, and decided to leave when they saw a very bright red flash and looked out the truck windows and the objects were gone. They packed their camping gear and headed home very frightened and confused.

Description: A shiny object, not well defined, fell into the sea between Martinsicuro and San Benedetto del Tronto in the Adriatic Sea just before 9:00 p.m. Many telephone calls came into the fire department of Teramo, the Port Authority of San Benedetto, Italy and to the Maritime Offices of Giulianova, Italy. Some spoke of a possible meteorite, judging from the form and color of the object, which dove into the ocean at some distance from shore. Immediately the alarm was sounded and the military police from Alba got involved. A motorboat was sent from San Benedetto, which reached the location where the object plunged into the sea but they were not able to find anything.

Event 53429 (B512B998)

Date: 7/2003
Description: Civilian Dion Fuller claims he met “Lee” at an apartment complex in Pacific Beach, CA, after he had allegedly gone AWOL from nearby Camp Pendleton, stolen 25 pairs of night vision goggles, a pistol from Iraq, a DOD laptop and an entire truck; Fuller states Lee scrolled through allegedly classified files on the laptop in front of him marked TOP SECRET and soon after, Fuller claims three NCIS agents arrived and searched the premises, detained him for six days and threatened him before letting him go.

In the following months, Fuller claims he was followed by military-looking men with the following license plates: 4U49864 (white truck), 5DA726 (white sedan), 4WEP4HEP852 (brown Honda),
SE4JPL (white Toyota), 5BEA709 (Escape), 4EPW827 (black Acura), 809-E2G (Forerunner), 4AMP126 (white Toyota) and 4JPL825 (Xterra SE).

Fuller later meets Richard Schowengerdt, founder of Project Chameleo, who claims he has successfully developed a technique to make men invisible; his research is more advanced than work by “Tachi” or Duke University; Schowengerdt’s research has been used in the field of electromagnetics working at the Navy Metrology Engineering Center (MEC), the Naval Sea Systems Command Technical Representative Office (NAVSEA TECHREP AEGIS), and with the Naval Reserve at the Miramar Naval Air Station and the Naval Air Station in Pt. Mugu.

As of 2015, he worked with Northrop Grumman working on the EA-18G Growler; his private experiments with electro-optical camouflage began in 1987 and took shape in 1993 with Project Chameleo, securing Patent No. 5,307,162 “Cloaking Using Optoelectronically Controlled Camouflage” in 1994. Fuller believes SAIC may be responsible for harassment by seemingly invisible individuals and this may be connected to the “MiLAB ‘’ phenomena, i.e. fake alien abductions.

Schowengerdt states the Chief of Naval Operations Strategic Studies Group visited him in 2005 to determine if his technology could be applied by the year 2025; during a presentation at a Military Sensing Symposium in Charleston, SC, he states he was giving a presentation for Army, Navy, Air Force and contractor personnel and halfway through, the moderator told him someone in the audience claimed he was revealing Top Secret information when he mentioned a “chameleonic” Future Soldier program; he states he wasn’t aware anything like that was operational; he was then detained by 3-4 personnel who made him prove the information was in the PUBLIC DOMAIN.

Schowengerdt states as of 2005 he worked with the Defense Contract Management Agency in El Segundo, and his supervisor knew of Project Chameleo; he states this technology not only can render a craft or a person invisible but it can project a rendering of something else like a tree or an animal for psychological warfare purposes; he states it’s possible this sort of technology could be advanced in a black project through reverse engineered UAP R&D; he also states he believes information about the UAP issue has been “leaked” in a controlled manner since the 1950s.

When Schowengerdt hears of Fuller’s claims of invisible harassment, he suggests SAIC “may have stolen [his] idea…I really do,” adding he had a meeting with an individual from SAIC in 1995-96; he states SAIC had come up with similar chameleonic cloaking technology in isolation; he states SAIC had a contract with the Army at that time; he adds he wouldn’t be surprised if the technology is being experimented covertly on Americans; he states he gave the Navy a tour of his lab and they were impressed but as of 2005 he did not have a contract with them.

Event 53432 (C20311DB)

Date: 7/12/2003
Description: The witness and her mother were driving home down a road in Ashland, Kentucky at around 10:00 p.m. when they saw a moving light in the sky. They first assumed it was a plane, but then it started moving faster. It sped up to an unbelievable speed and shot back and forth between wo stars, and then stopped as if it had spotted them. At this point their car stopped running. The UFO had disappeared but they had a feeling it was still present, watching them. It reappeared, this time closer. They next saw 20 to 30 lights zooming across the sky. These all stopped at the same star in the sky as the first one, and they all vanished in a bright flash. They heard no sound during any of this. The daughter reports that she then fainted, but her mother continued to watch. She said the light got bigger and brighter, and in the midst of the light her mother claims to have seen dark figures carrying strange instruments. When the daughter woke up, the car was on the side of the road about 20 feet from where it had been. About half an hour had passed, but it seemed to have been much longer. Her mother was now passed out and outside of the car. She appeared unharmed, but she did have a scar on the back of her neck. The mother convinced herself that the mark was from the back of the car door when she “fell” out of the car. For subsequent nights the pair have seen strange lights in the sky at night, dashing across the sky.

Date: 7/16/2003
Description: At around 8:30 p.m. two teachers in their fifties had gone for a short evening walk across the fields of Barnoldswick, Lancashire, England and were almost back home when they looked up and saw the figure of a man in the sky. He was dressed in what looked like black overalls, and he was descending as if by parachute. He came down about 50 yards away behind the last house in the row, so they thought he was going to land in the meadow beyond. But when he was only about 15 feet from the ground he leveled off and began to slowly accelerate, climbing gently and heading off in a northerly direction. They watched as he crossed the valley and disappeared into the distance. They did not see any means of propulsion on the man. Nothing visible was attached to his back and he made no sound, at least nothing they could detect. Visibility was excellent that evening.

Green claims the image was from Los Alamos National Lab. He says he was given the data “through Hal” from a series of analyses done at LANL on “live aliens” from 1950-51. Green didn’t know if the photo was real but Zimmerman admits they may have been “fed” classified materials and Green used the materials to perform research on unsuspecting subjects. Green also conducts General Motors research here, where he is employed.

Event 53461 (A5E457DB)

Date: 9/3/2003
Description: Near Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. At around 2:30 a.m. the main witness’s 12-year-old son woke her husband and her telling them that he had a nosebleed. They did not think much about it since the boy usually gets a nose bleed once a year and it just a persistent trickle. He then got into their bed with them, and the witness fell back to sleep very rapidly and had an extremely vivid lucid dream. In the dream, her son and she were outside of a house and they ran to the other side to see a UFO in the sky. The UFO was not lit, but rather a dark shadow in the night sky, huge and in two parts that were connected. They somehow knew that this was something to be afraid of, and hid in the deep shadows of the house. As the UFO came down almost noiselessly it transformed itself into a vast robot, which started walking across the countryside. She believed they somehow “knew” this had something to do with electrical power, and that they would be forced to use some power they didn’t want to use. She believed using their power would be a trick which would ultimately be used to imprison them. They ran inside the house and there the phone was ringing, and they again “knew” it was the power company calling them to force them to use this new power, so they did not answer the phone. In the dream, there was a glassed-in room in the house, which had a number of people seated in it. These people were important to the experiencer, although they were not familiar to her. She ran into the room to warn them of what she had seen. One of the people was a brown haired girl, about 20 years old, whom the witness recognized as her “daughter” (but not her real life daughter). She was crying, although the witness was not sure why. What was remarkable about her was that she was half human and half “android” or robotic. At one point the experiencer could see some of the skin on her back, and she believed could see that the skin was living tissue stretched over a metallic frame. The skin was red and sore appearing, like burned scar tissue. She was also pregnant and made a comment to the witness about how she had been to “animal control” (the witness could not quite recall the phrase but it was like going to a veterinarian instead of a human doctor), where she had been impregnated. The father of her child was also there, another predominantly robotic person who has a face that looked as if a human face had been grafted on. He appeared to be a sympathetic figure, and she believed he understood what the experiencer was telling him. There were others in the room that were similar, but the witness did not have a chance to speak to them. The dream went blank for a bit, and then the witness found herself outside in a “neighborhood”. There was a huge wind blowing and she believed that this was due to changes occurring to the Earth. She also “knew” that after the Earth changes the alien beings will come for us, and that would be terrible. In this vivid dream, the power company had set up a steel building that looked like the only thing that could withstand the wind. Everyone crowded inside, but the experiencer believed that it was trap. She pointed out to the father of her daughter’s baby that the heavy stainless steel door only opened from the outside, and that if they let go of them they would all be trapped inside. Between them they managed to keep the doors from closing. The dream went on with dire predictions for humanity and coming Earth changes: a collapse of society was coming. The witness woke up around 6:00 a.m. with a severe nosebleed, stiff arms and legs, and total physical exhaustion. Other family members reported strange scratches and marks on their bodies.

Event 53464 (ABD59BF8)

Date: 9/10/2003
Description: Bernard Haisch of Lockheed Martin states Hal Puthoff tried the “front door” approach to get into the secret UFO black program he believed existed. Puthoff wrote to a Pete Aldridge and Under Secretary Jacques Ganser but did not get a reply. Haisch believed the program was split into four parts and about 200 people were on the bigot lists. An unnamed individual “The General” was believed to still have access and was retired and working for an oil company when he met Puthoff at the suggestion of John Petersen.

That general is later revealed in a 18 September 2003 entry to be Jack Sheehan, now working for Bechtel in oil exploration. Sheehan states he saw and touched a “craft” but would not reveal more. Sheehan states he uncovered the UFO black project by discovering a $9B discrepancy.

Event 53479 (70B6B72E)

Date: 10/2/2003
Description: Hal Puthoff admits to Jacques Vallée in a car that he wouldn’t tell Vallee everything about the secret black UFO program to protect one critical “deep throat” and in case Vallee is ever polygraphed. Puthoff states that the ATP Group in the 1980s, sponsored by BDM Corp. and led by Col John Alexander, was killed because “there was already another project.” Puthoff states it was “deeply black” and “somebody” didn’t want it exposed or duplicated.

Puthoff also shows Vallee the VADM Thomas Wilson notes on this date and states they were written by Eric Davis. Puthoff says to “join” the project you have to have something major to contribute. “What are our chances? We don’t even know who the major contractor is,” he says. Vallee believes Wilson may be polygraphed at his next job as President of ATK Missiles because he may have leaked privileged information to Davis. Vallee also states he is told that the program was inside government but under Nixon it was transferred to a private contractor to secure it.

The color was odd for an airplane as well, because it black/grey and did not reflect light. It also made no noise whatsoever.

Event 53508 (4E6E573C)

Date: 2004
Description: Ufologist Bill Cooper claims underground bases under control of Naval Intelligence utilize cooperation between aliens and humans in Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Nevada. Cooper claims some are built beneath Native American reservations for cover, something the research of Danny Casolaro into Wackenhut also seems to suggest (see 1 August 1993).

Cooper also claims a secret fund was organized and kept by the Military Office of the White House in the 1950s, specifically the White House Underground Construction Fund by President Eisenhower, that assisted the building of underground military bases for human-alien collaboration and for general operations of a UAP control group “MJ-12.” Cooper claims Rep. George Mahon, Rep. Robert Sikes and Rep. Jim Wright knew of the effort.

Cooper also claims money was transferred from the top-secret fund to a location at Palm Beach, FL belonging to the Coast Guard called Peanut Island, a property near a facility owned by Joseph Kennedy. Cooper also claims Eisenhower set up Majority Twelve through NSC 5410 as cover, its names having changed to the Special Group under Kennedy, the 40 Committee under Nixon, Ford and Carter, and the PI-40 Committee under Reagan. Alleged Study Group members include Gordon Dean, Zbigniew Brzezinksi, Henry Kissinger and 34 others, and meetings were allegedly held at Marine Base Quantico, VA where the group was known as “Quantico II.” The meetings were held using the code name “The Country Club.”

Cooper claims these meetings led to the creation of Project Joshua and Project Excalibur, and that Rand Corporation was involved in the construction of underground facilities, and that the illegal drug trade using smuggling operations from Zapata Oil assisted in funding.

Event 53513 (4247F7AA)

Date: 1/4/2004
Locations: Dublin Airport; Slane; east coast of Ireland
Description: 8:30 p.m. An Aer Lingus Boeing 737 with 135 people on board is about 2 miles off the east coast of Ireland approaching Dublin Airport. It is being followed in for landing on Runway 10 by a British Midland Airbus A330- 200 at a distance of 6 miles. Both are at an altitude of 3,000 feet and moving at 287 mph. As the 737 approaches Slane, the A330 crew observes unidentified traffic take off vertically from a field. The object has bright strobe lights and is triangular in shape. It begins to circle the 737, which experiences a power drain. The A330 sees a purplish glow surround the 737, whose captain requests a course change to avoid the object, which is passing in front of the airliner. The UFO angles to the port side and the 737 experiences a huge wake turbulence and an increase in outside air temperature to 327° F. for about 15 seconds. The A330 also feels the turbulence, and the UFO heads southeast at great speed. When the 737 lands, the crew cannot raise the speed brakes on the wings, which are found to be damaged, as if dented by a hammer. There is also aircraft skin damage and hydraulic damage to the brakes caused by the UFO wake.

Event 53514 (ADFD56C8)

Description: 10:30 p.m. Another Airbus 330-200 is approaching the east coast of Ireland, bound for Dublin Airport, when the crew sees a flashing strobe light over Slane, County Meath. As the aircraft throttles back to 265 mph at 2,500 feet, the UFO takes on a triangular shape, passes in front of the plane, and gives off a bright flashing light. The UFO begins circling the Airbus in an aggressive manner. The crew expects a collision with the object, which is about 360 feet wide. The interior lights dim (power drain) and the encounter continues for 8–10 minutes as passengers watch. At one point, wake turbulence from the UFO triggers the wind shear warning device. Other aircraft in the vicinity are watching the encounter and listening in to radio transmissions. Just 2 minutes before landing, the UFO shoots away to the southeast.

Date: 1/4/2004
Description: At 8:30 p.m. an Aer Lingus Boeing 737-400 with 135 people on board was damaged by near a miss with a UFO while flying 15 nautical miles offshore of Ashbourne, Ireland. The UFO caused a power drain and a purple glow around the 737 as the triangular UFO flew in front of the airliner. It also caused a huge turbulence in its wake. A second aircraft encounter occurred on the same night at 10:30 p.m. when a A330-200 with 213 people on board encountered a flashing strobe light over Slane, Ireland. The airliner encountered a triangular UFO with an estimated 360 foot wing span. The UFO circled the plane aggresively. The second encounter lasted several minutes. Both encounters were tracked on airborne radar.

Date: 1/27/2004
Location: Retford, Nottinghamshire, England
Description: Night. Alec Birch, who has confessed to faking a UFO photo in 1962, takes a series of color slides showing the town hall in Retford, Nottinghamshire, England, for a photography competition. He sees nothing unusual at the time, but on examining one transparency he finds an image that appears to be an elliptical UFO. Ruling out lens flares and aircraft, he contacts the Ministry of Defence, which sends the slide to the Defence Geographic and Imagery Intelligence Agency for analysis. The agency reports back to the MoD on August 2, saying that no definite conclusions can be reached, but “it may be coincidental that the illuminated plane of the object passes through the centre of the frame, indicating a possible lens anomaly, [for example] a droplet of moisture.”

The light was hemisphere shaped, with a flat bottom and round top. The light had an apparent size 2-3 times larger than the full moon. The light hung over the forest on Hajdowka Hill, 1.5 kilometers from her house. She watched it for about five minutes and started to feel so she went back to bed. During the night she had a disturbing “dream” about meeting with a huge shiny “thing”. She awoke feeling very frightened, around 6:30 a.m.

Event 53541 (750A166E)

Date: 3/2004
Description: Huntsville, AL company Transdimensional Technologies LLC states it is working on anti-gravitic technology for commercial applications and references UAP in a press release. Founder Jeff Cameron states the company is working with NASA and it is exploring transportation, military and space travel applications of its “Power Cubed” technology. The company obtains investment from local Huntsville businessmen Remigrius Shatas and Robert Asprey (founders of Cyber Corp., later Avocent), and additional investment from 2C Computing and local venture capital firm R&R Ventures, of which Asprey was also a partner. The company’s state filings are still active but its website is no longer online and it no longer provides updates to the public on its antigravity research. It was located at 906-E Bob Wallace Ave., Huntsville, AL 35801.

An archived version of the company’s website also shows it was developing a non-lethal weapon known as Medusa and a gravitational wave propulsion system. It suggests clients include military and NASA, and the Power Cubed propellantless propulsion rotor was developed on contract with NASA MSFC (H31066D).

Locations: Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche, Mexico; Gulf of Mexico
Description: Mexican Air Force pilots flying a C-26A Metroliner using infrared equipment to search for drug-smuggling aircraft record 11 unidentified objects on infrared video and radar near Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche, Mexico. The objects are not visible to the crew. Secretary of Defense Gen. Gerardo Clemente Vega issues a press release on May 12 accompanied by videotape that shows moving bright lights at 11,500 feet. Mexican journalist Jaime Maussan interprets the videotape as “proof of alien visitation,” but science writer and skeptic Michael Shermer is critical of witness accounts that vary wildly, saying, “it was like a fisherman’s tale, growing with each retelling,” while NARCAP suggests the lights are most likely burn-off flares on offshore oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.

Event 53546 (193353E0)

Date: 3/12/2004
Description: At four a.m. Mr. M. N. was driving east on Wellington Street in Sault Sainte Marie, Ontario at the southeastern end of Lake Superior and as he came to the center city (known to locals as Soo, Canada). He noticed a vertical beam of light in the early morning sky, from the top of a hill to the north. He stopped his vehicle at a cross street and looked all the way to the end of the street, about 7 blocks away, where the street ends at the base of the hill and has a metal stairwell leading to McDonald Avenue. His eyes focused on a little dark figure standing very still. This caught his curiosity, so he slowly drove towards it. It then started moving from side to side, using fluid movements as if it was floating in the air. It moved as if confused, or afraid and didn’t know what to do. As he got closer, the figure’s appearance seemed to have metamorphosed into a transparent, shadow-like entity that very swiftly flew up the stairs. To his astonishment, the beam of light that he had seen in the distant sky a few minutes before was now at the top of the hill, only 100 feet away. With his heart racing he drove as fast as he could eastward along the base of the hill until he came to the nearest street that climbed the hill and drove up McDonald Avenue to see what was happening. He arrived at the top of the hill only to find three circle-shaped burn markings on the pavement of the street. About 10 seconds later he heard a weird kind of gunshot sound. When he looked up to the sky he saw a bright light shooting up into the stars. As he watched the spectacle a peaceful feeling came over him and he felt as if every hair on his body was standing on end. The feeling of well being felt like it lasted only a brief 30 seconds, but when he looked again at his watch it was at least 40 minutes later.

Date: 4/5/2004
Description: At 11:00 a.m. a witness in Newport, Tennessee spotted a bizarre flying creature resembling an arrowhead flying backwards, with what looked like a head or knob on the front. It didn’t look mechanical, it was more like some kind of animal. It did not have extended wings like a bird but seemed to have some stubby wings which may have been part of the body, like some type of bat. They protruded out near the end and tapered back to a point at the rear. The creature appeared to be around three feet long and a little over two feet wide. It was moving very fast in a straight line, at an altitude of approximate 150 feet. The witness did not see any method of propulsion, such as wing movement. It just seemed to be gliding but at a high speed. It maintained a level flight path moving westward, where the witness eventually lost sight of it. It was light brown in color along the sides of the wings, with a dark body color, possibly dark brown or black.

Event 53556 (56B1647D)

Date: 4/12/2004
Description: In Citrusdal, Western Cape, South Africa two witnesses were walking home at 9:30 p.m. when they saw a flying triangle craft moving very slowly through the sky. It had a yellow light at each of the three points, and in the middle of the craft was a blue and red light that went on and off and circled each other. “My grandmother an I stood there for about 4 minutes watching the craft, and then I went home.” The witness told her father about it, and he became a third witness, but he could only make out a faint light in the sky. The grandmother had seen a similar craft several nights before.

Event 53559 (DA15F3CD)

Date: 4/16/2004
Description: There was no sound coming from a triangle-like craft seen near Fort Benning, Georgia by a mother and daughter. At 10:20 p.m. a 47-year-old woman was driving home from Columbus with her 16-year-old daughter when they thought they saw a military helicopter from the Fort. Upon getting closer the mother thought it resembled more of a Stealth Bomber with a triangle shape. They slowed down and rolled down their car windows, which revealed there was no sound coming from the craft. Near Ellerslie, in Harris County, Georgia, they then observed the dark triangle hovering at a relatively low altitude. It had blinking red and green lights at the rear, and it was projecting a spotlight beam with an adjacent blue light under each wing. The daughter became a little concerned and said they needed to get out of there, get home, and tell her dad. The mother reported to the MUFON investigator that she had observed a similar triangular craft before, along with her older daughter, but had never reported it

Residents saw the small oval-shaped vessel, silver-colored with a metallic tail, as it descended and landed in an open field encircled by trees on the El Pedregal farm. It made no noise nor smoke. It was about the size of a pickup truck tire. Raul Beltran, 17, states, “I was tidying the shelves when a bright light came through the window that was like a glowing ball with a tail in its lower section. I showed it to my mother and quickly ran outside to see where it would fall and watched at the site until the UFO took off once more.” It lifted off perpendicularly, and then left through the palm trees. According to the witnesses, the grass and small plants at the site where the UFO landed were somewhat burned.

Description: A UFO allegedly crashed in the early morning hours in a remote jungle region close to Guri Dam in southeastern Venezuela. The hydroelectric station at Guri Dam is at the north end of the man-made lake, Lago de Guri. The dam is on the Rio Caroni, 100 km south of the Orinoco River at Ciudad Bolivar. The incident was witnessed by workers at the dam and took place northwest of their location. Soldiers of Venezuela’s Guardia Nacional reportedly proceeded to cordon off the area, and undertook stringent security measures further north. In Puerto Ordaz residents saw low-flying, black helicopters cross the overcast sky, heading south towards the dam. The presence of U.S. military personnel was also reported, although relations between the governments of Venezuela and the United States are not cordial. The seismology unit at the University of Caracas reported movement at the time of the crash. Access to the crash site was difficult due to the torrential rains at the site during this time of the year.

Event 53576 (820CFCF2)

Date: 6/2004
Description: Former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Catherine Austin Fitts writes in a paper that a “large proportion of the nation’s wealth is being illegally diverted…into secret, unaccountable channels” to support clandestine domestic military R&D. She claims that while at HUD, she came across evidence to suggest IT/accounting systems providers Lockheed Martin Information Systems, Dyncorp and AMS Inc. were responsible for the obfuscation and may have data on where missing DOD/HUD funds were siphoned to. Fitts also claims that complaints about AMS were answered by the Pentagon with its hire of IBM, but IBM in turn, subcontracted AMS, Lockheed, Dyncorp, SAIC and Accenture to manage the systems that failed a GAO audit.

Fitts also claims AMS violated fiduciary and control practices by “installing its own equipment and software with no parallel runs against the legacy software and accounting system.” AMS was hired by HUD in 1996 to manage internal accounting and financial controls and Fitts claims while she was at HUD, AMS’s actions led to $76 billion in undocumentable transactions.

Description: At 6:00 p.m. local time a teardrop-shaped UFO and other UFOs was seen in Ruby Bay, Nelson, New Zealand. The witness was standing on the beach having a smoke when he saw the object, which had spinning red lights and was beaming light down into the water. He ran and got his friend to see it as well. Other residents of the campground also saw it. It moved closer towards the beach sending beams of light across the bay, and made an electrical humming noise and a thundering sound that could easily be heard. The craft moved at a phenomenal speed and disappeared and reappeared in different places, moving up into the sky. At about 8:00 p.m. and over the next hour another 6 craft appeared in the sky. The objects in the sky looked like giant orbs of amber light and over the rest of the night the objects moved around the Nelson Harbour and the hills around Ruby Bay. The objects came in close and shot off randomly for the rest of the night until morning. Flat batteries in cars reportedly occurred throughout the McKees Domain, and dead fish washed up on the beach in Ruby Bay later that day.

The moment she saw it she screamed and ran back inside, locking the door behind her, but she continued to watch it through a window. The figure went behind some trees and when it emerged on the other side it shot off towards the north at the speed of a rocket.

Each was either holding a blue light, or was wearing a blue head lamp. He couldn’t tell for sure. The figures appeared to be looking to the north and south, and they looked at his truck as he drove by. They appeared to be wearing loose-fitting bright silver outfits, similar to HAZMAT suits. He couldn’t tell if they were wearing helmets. The terrain was very flat and he did not see any vehicles in the area. He was sure that he would have seen any vehicle that they could have come from. He slowed to turn around but the nearest exit was another 30 miles down the highway so he decided not to go back.

Event 53594 (C8696FB0)

Description: Alleged US Army/DIA official John Maynard states Atlantic Research Corporation is deeply involved in the UAP matter. TRW, Johnson Controls and Honeywell are mentioned as well that allegedly receive money to work on highly compartmentalized waived unacknowledged Special Access Programs where only four people knew what was happening. Maynard claims some UAP information is controlled by three families: the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds and the Hapsburgs. CSETI (see 13 February 2009) was partially funded by Laurance Rockefeller.

Note: To more deeply probe the connections between wealthy entrepreneurial families and funding of possibly rogue UAP projects, one would want to look at linkages between: (1) all members of those families, (2) all front companies linked to those families and (3) all meetings held by those families and the aerospace world. If intermediary funding mechanisms are used one would also want to look for linkages between those families and organizations that may fund aerospace related projects. See possible example: the Lindbergh Foundation (see 3 December 1999).

Note: USAF Project Outgrowth (see June 1972) referenced Atlantic Research Corporation. Outgrowth’s lead Franklin Mead studied advanced propulsion concepts for decades at Edwards AFB and it is curious to see Atlantic referenced there, given Maynard’s claims it was involved in UAP work. Other companies referenced alongside Atlantic in Outgrowth at the time were Armour Research Foundation, IIT Research Institute, United Aircraft Research Laboratory, Chrysler Corporation, Lockheed Missiles and Space Company, Aerojet General Corporation, Physics International Company and Pratt and Whitney.

Note: Mohsen Paul Sarfarazi, a materials scientist who has worked at Atlantic Research Corporation, Army’s Ballistic Research Laboratory and several universities, claims some negative entities use humans as a power source. Sarfarazi is an acclaimed materials scientist who studied plasma physics and the crystalline structure of materials for various applications. After retirement he began speaking in the PUBLIC DOMAIN about “negative” entities affecting human minds and personal communications from other positive entities.

Date: 8/2/2004
Description: A young man, Andrey Alexandrovich Zabava, was spending time at the seashore near Cape Plaka near Partenit, Crimea, Ukraine in the company of several tourists from Russia and Poland. Their main reason for being there was to hunt for UFOs, because they believed there was an underground alien base hidden inside Ayu-Dug (Bear) Mountain, just to the west of Partenit. Their first six nights were uneventful, but on this night they saw several dim spots of yellow light that appeared one after the other on the northeastern slope of the mountain where there are no known buildings. The lights were positioned in a triangle. At about 01:00 a.m. a strange object appeared from the west slowly floating above the Black Sea. The object made a slow right turn, drifting in total silence, and slowly descended towards Ayu-Dug. When the object got closer Andrey could discern an elongated rhomboid form, clearly outlined by rows of lights. There were four bright emerald green lights positioned at the four corners of the craft, and numerous red lights were running along its edges, constantly blinking in a clockwise direction. Bright yellow-green lights were located at the center of the bottom of the craft, while four blue lights were positioned around it in a cross shape. This magnificent craft also had several dimly lit yellowish windows along its top section. When the craft was at its closest, a stream of hot air could be felt emanating from it. When the UFO passed along the seashore, Andrey noticed that all electric lights along the seashore blinked out simultaneously as if from a power interruption. Finally, the craft approached Ayu-Dug at a low altitude and seemed to dissolve into thin air, but immediately following this a bright beam of light appeared from the seashore and began searching the sky and scanning the water. Apparently some border guards had become alerted to the presence of the strange craft. Andrey also noticed that his friend Vitya’s wristwatch had stopped when the craft passed directly overhead.

At around 3:00 a.m. bright yellow flashes of light appeared at the top of the mountain, resembling fireworks. Over the next 15 minutes a total of eight clusters of objects zoomed out of the mountain, and flew off towards the southwest and eastwards towards Novorossiysk. At 5:00 a.m. Andrey and Vitya had begun their descent of Cape Plaka, when they heard a voice yelling at them from behind. “Sons!” it said in Russian. They stopped and turned around. A figure resembling an elderly woman stood on a rock. Her face could not be seen because it was still dark and she was not facing them. The height of the strange woman was about 1.5 meters and she was dressed in a long gray loose fitting garment that completely covered her legs and a hood that covered her head. In a soft female voice in pure Russian, she said, “Sons! Don’t tell anybody down there about what you have seen, they will not understand.” The somewhat stunned young men did not began a conversation with her and did not pay much attention to her. Several seconds later Andrey turned around again and the woman had vanished. There was only a sharp rock outcrop and seemingly no place for her to hide. Increasingly agitated, the witnesses searched for the “nun” but could not find anyone.

They continued their descent from the rock, when Vitya screamed and pointed to the shoreline near one of the Partenit piers. There they saw another humanoid entity, very tall, about two or even three meters in height, and dressed in a tight-fitting, dark blue diver suit, which completely covered its body. It had on a helmet which was attached directly to the suit. A yellow rectangular “window” was positioned over the face area, but no facial features were visible. The entity was standing in the water up to its waist, and looking at the embankment and houses on the shore. Unexpectedly, after several seconds of observation the alien figure simply dissolved into thin air. The stunned witnesses finished their descent to the hamlet in a very shaken state. On the pier they spoke to an old sea captain named “Jora”, who reported experiencing recent problems with his electronic equipment onboard his cutter on several occasions.

Date: 8/7/2004
Description: Former NIDS contractor Jim Westwood tells Jacques Vallée that Charles Bowsher, former Comptroller General under President Reagan, states he found a “crashed UFO program” during a large audit of classified programs. Bowsher uncovered it in 1984-85, which he called a “bizarre special access program coverup which surely violated every classification, executive order, regulation, and Congressional rule.” Bowsher considered turning it over to the Department of Justice for prosecution, but an unnamed powerful individual in the DOD squashed it. Bowsher said the program had to do with an “exotic, non-Earthly vehicle.”

Description: While out photographing a meteor shower at 1:30 a.m. two men, Mike and Lance, both 23, sighted three triangles flying in a circle over Palmdale, California, spinning at fantastic speeds, that then stopped and disappeared. During the sighting Mike called his girlfriend on his cell phone, and while talking the cell phone died. Then the digital camera they had, which had been fully charged, died and would not work, with the message “battery dead”. Yet when they got home both the phone and the camera worked, and when the camera was placed in its charger the message “full charge” appeared. The triangle craft were estimated to be flying at 20,000 feet, and were the apparent size of a quarter at arm’s length. The triangles had a semi-spherical shape to them, and both men saw high definition shapes in the crafts’ bodies.

Event 53611 (81AE5985)

Date: 8/25/2004
Description: Military maneuvers code-named “Shield of the Fatherland-2004” had begun in the forests of Belarus. A senior lieutenant named Dmitriy, commander of a reconnaissance diversion group (RDG), was performing rear guard operations and was engaged in destroying targets pre-positioned at Krepachi, Baranovichi area, Brest region. On the night of August 24 they made camp. Two men code-named “Rainbow” and “Hedgehog” were posted for night watch duty. The group had decided to make camp 375 meters away from the village of Krepachi in the Brest region. The location was mixed forest, in a clearing with two large old oak trees and a lake between them. The almost deserted village was not on any map, and the nearest really inhabited place was the hamlet of Gorodiszhe. At 3:08 a.m. they were awakened by a bright but plain spreading orange light. Their portable radio communications continued to work. Dmitriy asked Rainbow by radio if he had seen anything. Rainbow replied that he could see a plate-shaped craft about 27 meters from him, hovering over the ground at an altitude of about 2.5m. Dmitriy then gave the command to take defensive positions and prepare the grenade launcher. After confirming that all his men were ready, Dmitriy took another man, “Barkhan”, and went on a reconnaissance patrol. The object was generally saucer-shaped with a truncated cone above. At close observation the object seemed metallic. The UFO emitted a beam of turquoise beam of light from its center. Unexpectedly, “Hedgehog” next reported that he could see four figures approaching him from the object, but he could not see them properly because of the tall grass concealing them. The soldiers then turned on their laser rangefinder to infrared mode. The humanoid figures seemed very tall, but the men still could not see them properly. Dmitriy noticed that the figures moved evenly as if robotic in nature. Seconds later the UFO quickly gained altitude, zooming out of sight beyond the clouds. According to the laser rangefinder the UFO’s departing speed was 2600 kilometers per hour. The humanoid figures then walked in different directions. Dmitriy did not order his men to follow them, because that could lead to separating the group, which contradicted the defensive order. The figures seemed to walk through some high tension wires as if they were not there. Dmitriy could only hope that the humanoids and object would quickly leave and that his men would not be harmed.

After returning to their unit, some of the men informed senior officers of what had taken place. The officers ordered the men to keep silence, in order to prevent them from being discharged from the Army for “psychological” reasons. One officer suggested that the men had been hallucinating as a result of the rigorous training exercises. Later, intelligence personnel interviewed the men, and appeared to be relieved that the men had not used their weapons against the “aliens” for fear of retaliation. A female resident of the village told Army investigators that spherical and disk-shaped objects were often observed in the location. The villagers had been pasturing cows in the glade where the UFO had descended, and the soldiers had camped, and they reported that the cows’ milk production had dropped dramatically.

He reported the case to the Aviation Authority, but they did not believe him. The young boy, who was peddling spring water around the beach resort, also corroborated the first witness’s account, but was also brushed aside by authorities. as an infantile hallucination. The site where the craft was purported to have crashed was later searched by divers, and they claimed to have found nothing.

Kulkarni of the Indian Space Research Organization’s Space Applications Centre in Ahmedabad are on a research trip in the barren Samudra Tapu valley, Himachal Pradesh, India, at an elevation of 17,000 feet.

Kulkarni and Dhar grab cameras and take several photos. It has a cylindrical head with 2 balloon-type attachments and looks like a robot walking. The object hovers motionless for a few seconds, then starts a steep ascent, hovers another 5 minutes, then rises high in the sky. Kalia says it does not look like a man-made object.

Event 53636 (454D933A)

Date: 10/2/2004
Description: A man was driving home at 5:30 a.m. in rural Tennessee when he noticed what first appeared to be a fire on a nearby ridge. As he drove he got closer and realized that it was not a fire at all but a series of three reddish-orange lights affixed to the bottom of a huge triangular craft. He neared an intersection and got out of his car to watch this metallic craft as it approached from the north and moved directly towards him. He became fearful and started to run from his car, but realized that there was nowhere to run. As the giant object passed overhead, it blocked out all the stars and he estimated its size to be some 300 feet in length. The bottom of the craft was illuminated from three flame-like symmetrical appendages, and there was a ribbed structure running across the bottom of the object. As it passed directly overhead he felt an energy that reverberated through his body. He stated that he felt many sensations all at once, but could find no description for what he actually felt. The object also made a pulsating or drumming noise which also passed throughout his body. After the object passed him, it suddenly turned west and moved behind some nearby hills. The witness reported a metallic taste in his mouth and a nose bleed. Later he found that his face and back were slightly sunburned and his hair was falling out, he also felt lethargic. He realized later that he had experienced 15 minutes of missing time.

Description: On this evening in Orizaba, Mexico Mrs. M., who runs a small food retail establishment from her home, was watching television facing towards the street, and hoping for a client to stop by, when suddenly the television reception began to fail and there was sudden heavy RF interference. This was remarkable since the street was empty and there weren’t any vehicles around that could cause the problem. Suddenly, a very tall figure walked by the front door of her house. The strange figure had a very pale white complexion, extremely white according to the witness. The figure then turned to look at her, and the stranger’s stare was so intense and penetrating that she could not move; she wanted to yell out to her sister who lived next door, but was unable to utter a sound. The stranger abruptly disappeared, and at the same time the television returned to normal, but she was not able to move for at least five minutes.

Event 53643 (9773D247)

Date: 10/28/2004
Locations: Khondab, Iran; Isfahan
Description: Night. An Iranian Air Force F-14 is on combat air patrol near the heavy water reactor near Khondab, Iran, when it picks up an unidentified target at a distance of 50 miles away that is making rapid changes in altitude, heading, and speed. The pilot is ordered to bank toward the target after regional command receives a visual confirmation from an Arak Air Defense Group observer. Approaching at 22,000 feet, the pilot spots the target at 5,000 feet. The object is spherical and has a green halo surrounding it and a green light on its tail end. When the pilot turns toward the light, it disappears then reappears a few miles away, apparently moving at a speed of Mach 7 or greater. The F-14 is ordered to turn all lights off and descend to pursue the target. At 7,800 feet the target disappears again, but after the F-14 makes a turn at 7,000 feet, it picks up the target again and flies 2,000 feet below it. The F-14 arms its weapons and the pilot requests clearance to engage the object. Every time the radar officer attempts to lock on the object, the radio, radar, and other instruments become jammed. Finally, the F-14 ascends to 19,000 feet because it is low on fuel and spots the object one last time at low altitude. The pilot returns to the 8th Predator Tactical Fighter Base in Isfahan.

Event 53655 (79573842)

Date: 11/14/2004
Location: California coast
Description: 9:30 a.m. Navy Commander David Fravor and pilot Jim Slaight, flying two McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornets over the California coast on a routine training mission, are diverted from their exercise to investigate some unusual radar contacts detected by the cruiser USS Princeton that is part of the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group. They observe a 40-foot-long wingless craft flying at incredible speeds in an erratic pattern. Controllers on one of the Navy ships report objects that are dropping out of the sky from 80,000 feet and going “straight back up.” As they are looking for the object that appears on the radar, Fravor spots a white disturbance in the water and a white object (nicknamed “Tic-Tac”) moving in random directions. The planes fly lower to investigate the object, which seems to be about 40 feet long and then starts to mirror their movements before accelerating at high speed and disappearing. Fravor and another pilot, Alex Dietrich, say in an interview that a total of four people (two pilots and two weapons systems officers in the back seats of the two airplanes) witness the object for about 5 minutes. The disturbance in the water vanishes. Soon the same or a similar object reappears at their rendezvous point 60 miles away, but by the time they arrive it has disappeared. Another plane launched from the USS Nimitz has its radar jammed and is able to pick up the object on an infrared channel. Two objects emerge from the bottom of the blip, which takes off and goes off the right side of the screen. The speed of the object, which has no exhaust trail, is stunning. However, the Navy claims it “never obtained an accurate” radar track of the objects reported by Fravor; they are quickly dropped by the Princeton’s radar when the computer categorizes them as “false targets.” After the return of the first team to USS Nimitz, a second F-18 team, led by Chad Underwood, takes off at approximately 12:00 noon, this time equipped with an advanced infrared camera (FLIR pod). This camera records an evasive unidentified aerial system on video. Underwood says “he never had visual, only seeing the object via FLIR.” David Fravor says that the radar operator on the USS Princeton briefed him that they had been tracking radar targets for two weeks. The footage is publicly released by the Pentagon in 2017. This footage is known as the 2004 USS Nimitz FLIR1 video. It officially sheds some light on a decade-old story that had been largely unknown and unreported, aside from a 2015 secondhand story on FighterSweep.com that, in spite of providing many details, remained unconfirmed at that time. Jonathan Axelrod [possibly Naval officer John F. Stratton], investigating the case in 2009 for BAASS, concludes tat the object “was no known aircraft or air vehicle currently in the inventory of the United States or any foreign nation,” and that it remained “stationary with little or no variation in altitude transitioning to horizontal and/or vertical velocities far greater than any known aerial vehicle with little or no visible signature.” Analysis of the FLIR footage by Mick West of Metabunk claims that the impressive sudden departure is an illusion; the object does not actually move except when the aircraft’s own infrared camera moves. West thinks the object resembles an “out-of-focus low-resolution backlit plane” filmed at a distance. [A second film of infrared footage, known as the GIMBAL video, is released by the Pentagon alongside the 2004 FLIR1 footage. Although the media often present the two videos together to illustrate the 2004 USS Nimitz UFO incident, the GIMBAL video is unrelated and was filmed on the East Coast of the United States in early 2015 by planes from the USS Theodore Roosevelt.]

Event 53675 (5A382B67)

Date: 2005
Description: USAF veteran Stephen Walker states that while serving at Naval Support Facility Diego Garcia, he was told the Navy would be conducting sensitive operations out of a large hangar at the northern end of the airfield. USAF personnel were advised to stay away but for the entirety of the week, the hangar was empty. One night during that week, the flight line was evacuated, the base was locked down and USAF personnel were advised to stay inside and away from the windows to protect an incoming classified aircraft.

Walker states despite listening for it, over the next half-hour, he heard no tires hitting the pavement, no brakes, no engine, no idling or anything. After 30 minutes they were cleared to go back outside after the aircraft landed, but they saw no signs of anything that happened. Walker states he experienced something similar at Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene, Texas. He does not speculate on what the aircrafts were, but states other personnel he has spoken to share similar experiences that are “brushes with black projects,” some bordering on myth and “utter absurdity.”

Event 53676 (898A12C6)

Date: 2005
Description: Kit Green states he returned to private medicine and began working on a research project that involved compiling a database of individuals suffering injuries, burns, skin lesions, cancer and diseases after cat to face encounters with UAP. Green’s 100+ patients were military personnel or from aerospace industries, their own doctors were clueless; Green based his hypothesis on patients being exposed to some form of black ops technology such as non lethal weaponry, holographs, cloaking technology, drones, etc.

Green said within 5-7 years, 25% of his patients died and he had no idea what kind of technology could do this. Green was CMO of Enscion Corporation around this time, a company that used genetic information to analyze chronic conditions. A publicly available document states Green conducted tests at WPAFB Medical Center and analyzed UBOs (unidentified bright objects) present in MRI scans.

Date: 1/1/2005
Location: UK
Description: The UK Freedom of Information Act 2000 comes into full force. Around 120,000 requests are made in the first year. Private citizens make 60% of them, with businesses and journalists accounting for 20% and 10% respectively. However, requests from journalists tend to be more complex and consequently more expensive. UFOs are one of the three most popular FOI requests made to the Ministry of Defence.

Event 53679 (B78D8674)

Date: 1/15/2005
Locations: Adelaide, South Australia; Roswell, New Mexico
Description: UFO researcher Keith Basterfield interviews a man in Adelaide, South Australia, whose British father had worked for MI5 after World War II. His father had told him in 1959 when he was 12 that the American military had been experimenting in 1947 with monkeys and pigs being dropped in devices equipped with retrorockets from stratospheric balloons to test them for eventual space rocket research. In one of these experiments, which were conducted at night, they used live 2–3 humans with a hydrocephalic condition (enlarged heads caused by excess cerebrospinal fluid) whom they obtained from a facility. The retrorockets failed, the balloon crashed, and a rancher found the material and one of the humans who was still alive. A medical retrieval team came for it. The UFO cover story for this crash near Roswell, New Mexico, was concocted to keep the experiments secret.

Description: 2:00 a.m. In the farming area of El Paraiso, Mar del Plata, Argentina, a resident hears a noise like a strong wind or turbine and sees two misty yellow lights drifting above a copse of trees and climbing slowly. Other witnesses hear and see the phenomena, and others are wakened by their farm animals going crazy and dogs howling as if in pain. At dawn, two circular marks are found near the copse. Police forensic experts take samples of an ash-like deposit that leaves a greasy smear when touched. Meanwhile, the daughter of one of the locals involved is having nightmares about a UFO trying to catch her.

Date: 5/1/2005

Description: Night. A biotechnologist and his daughter are driving on the Central Oregon Highway about 50 miles southeast of Bend, Oregon. They notice three bright blue objects zigzagging around each other about 300 feet away above a field. Suddenly two of the lights move toward them and through their vehicle. One passes through the windshield and passes through a window. The second passes through the man’s left arm and upper body, exiting his right arm. He feels a bit hazy, but notices the light is spherical and about the size of a softball. Still driving, the man feels nauseous and scared. The next 45 minutes into Bend seems like 3 hours. Days later, he develops a red rash on the left side of his face and loses some hair on that side. His ankles swell, and he loses some sight and hearing on the left. In the next few weeks, he gains about 50 pounds (although exercising and dieting) and sleeps a lot. In February 2007 he is diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in his left chest, a pre-cancerous condition, and undergoes surgery in May, his health gradualy improving by the end of 2008.

Event 53711 (09DB3C42)

Date: 5/11/2005
Locations: Washington, D.C.; White House; rural Pennsylvania airstrip
Description: 11:28 a.m. Radar trackers spot a plane entering the Air Defense Identification Zone around Washington, D.C. As the aircraft bears down on Washington from the north and officials cannot contact the pilot, the White House’s internal threat level goes from yellow to orange and then to red within four minutes. Fighters are scrambled, and occupants and visitors to the Capitol, the Supreme Court, and the White House are sent scurrying for safety. The aircraft flies over the vice president’s residence and comes within moments of reaching the White House and close to being shot down. Officials say 35,000 people are evacuated from the Capitol and adjacent office complexes. An additional 200 are evacuated from the White House. First lady Laura Bush and former first lady Nancy Reagan, who is visiting, are ushered to a bunker beneath the White House for safety, and Vice President Dick Cheney is taken to a secure location. The airplane is a Cessna 150 piloted by two aviators flying with outdated maps from a rural Pennsylvania airstrip and they are lost. Authorities say the pilots are so clueless that when officials finally make radio contact and order the plane to divert at 12:06 p.m., the fliers refuse, asserting their right to proceed. The F-16s then fire four bright flares across the plane’s nose, and the two men realize the gravity of their situation. The plane then veers northwest, out of town, escorted by the interceptors, security helicopters, and a US customs jet. The 15-minute aerial encounter is watched by rapt workers in downtown Washington office buildings.

Event 53717 (C4D06138)

Date: 6/2005
Locations: Tennessee; Oak Ridge National Laboratory; Roswell
Description: British author Nick Redfern publishes Body Snatchers in the Desert, which purports to show that the 1947 Roswell crash may have been military aircraft tests using Japanese POWs, suffering from progeria (an early aging syndrome) or radiation effects. He has interviewed elderly whistleblowers—a woman he calls the Black Widow, Al Barker, Bill Salter, and a retired military man he calls the Colonel. In 2001, the Black Widow claims to have worked at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, in the late 1940s and early 1950s, at which time elements of the Usgovernment conducted high-altitude balloon tests with attached gondolas that contained live test subjects and sometimes dead bodies. These subjects were handicapped humans, possibly Japanese, including sufferers of progeria. She claims to know of 3 classified balloon flights in May–July 1947. The bodies were broiught to Oak Ridge under stringent security. In 2003, the Colonel states that Roswell and other crashes were a cover for research linked to high-altitude balloon experiments. He mentions crashes in May and July 1947 of two experiments with handicapped persons on board.

Event 53718 (384CC227)

Date: 6/14/2005
Description: The main witness, June Mark M. Sepe, and some friends were camping near some woods in a small clearing next to Lake Nice Francisco in Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental, The Philippines. After dinner they sat around the campfire planning their next day activities. At around 9:20 p.m. they were surprised to see a car headlight like light glowing behind some trees. They went closer to investigate and came upon a landed cone-cylindrical shaped craft, with no visible doors or windows. It stood about 8-10 feet high and was resting on top of what appeared to be tripod landing gear. No sound came from the craft, but they heard some rustling of grass and leaves, which came from three human looking beings making repairs on the craft. They were wearing metallic silver jumpsuits and black “bonnet-like helmets.” The men hid in the bushes and observed the scene for about 15-20 minutes when they heard a voice call out from within the craft. They could not understand the language, but the quality of the voice was soft and metallic like. After awhile the three beings went back into the craft, entering through the bottom of the craft, and they appeared to quickly float upwards (just like being sucked up by a vacuum cleaner). There was a high-pitched swooshing and humming noise, and then the craft lifted off and shot out of the forest, and at the same time the witnesses felt a gust of cool wind. One of the witnesses attempted to photograph the object with his mobile phone, but the picture was totally blurry. The five other witnesses were Rodel Rulona, William Gomez, John Rabuyo, Jude Igar, and Rolly de Gracia.

Event 53720 (6D77DBD3)

Date: 6/28/2005
Locations: Dublin Airport, Ireland; Malahide, County Dublin; London Air Traffic Control Centre
Description: Early morning. Following reports of unidentified lights above Dublin Airport in Ireland, a UFO 30 feet wide and 10 feet high approaches dangerously close to a commercial aircraft flying at 3,000 feet. The plane experiences intense waves of heat and wake turbulence. A strobe light on the object induces dizziness and nausea; the copilot vomits a few times, but after a while both pilots feel strangely relaxed. After heading in the direction of Malahide, County Dublin, the UFO returns and continues further harassment, causing the aircraft to become uncontrollable for a few minutes. The pilot reports to London Air Traffic Control Centre: “Need assistance… We have a hostile craft and we have made dangerous maneuvers to avoid it.” London confirms the presence of unauthorized air traffic. Some RAF Tornados are scrambled and reach the aircraft 25 minutes later, but there is little they can do except escort the plane to a UK airport, accompanied by the UFO.

Date: 10/2005
Location: New York
Description: Cognitive psychologist Susan Clancy publishes Abducted: How People Came to Believe They Were Kidnapped by Aliens, in which she describes her psychological testing of a sample of abductees. These tests reveal a propensity for false memories and magical ideation, making abductees more likely than average to imagine, be led by investigators, and integrate cultural scripts like the abduction story into memory. Clancy demonstrates that alien abduction stories give people meaning and a way to understand their own lives and circumstances. It also gives them a feeling that they are not alone in the universe. New York Times reviewer Benedict Carey’s takeaway is that “in this sense, abduction memories are like transcendent religious visions, scary and yet somehow comforting and, at some personal psychological level, true.” However, Clancy fails to ask her subjects about their religious beliefs.

Event 53769 (B6903AA7)

Date: 11/1/2005
Locations: New Mexico; Corona; Pelona Peak; Datil; Loa Alamos National Laboratory; Roswell Army Air Field; Wright- Patterson AFB; Sandia Army Base; Los Alamos; Alamogordo; Nevada Test Site; Serpo; UK Ministry of Defence; London; Alice Bradley Sheldon
Description: An anonymous email is received by Victor Martinez, who runs a discussion list for retired intelligence people who are interested in UFOs. This person, in return for anonymity, passes on a huge volume of information each month for the next three years, all of it extracts from an alleged original document—a top secret, 3,000-page report compiled by the Defence Intelligence Agency in the late 1970s. The major revelations are: There were two crash sites in New Mexico, one southwest of Corona, and the second at Pelona Peak, south of Datil. The Corona site was discovered a day later by an archaeological team, who reports the crash site to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department. One live entity (EBE 1) was found hiding behind a rock; it and some dead bodies were later transferred to Loa Alamos National Laboratory. Roswell Army Air Field took the craft and sent it on to Wright- Patterson AFB. The second site was not discovered until August 1949 by two ranchers. It took the sheriff several days to reach this crash site. He took photos, drove back to Datil, and notified Sandia Army Base, which recovered six bodies that were first sent to Sandia then to Los Alamos. The live entity established communication and supplied the name of his home planet, Serpo, in our constellation of Zeta Reticuli. It died in 1952 after being allowed to use a communication device in the crashed UFO to contact his home planet. An alien/US military meeting was set for April 1964 in Alamogordo, where the aliens (nicknamed Ebens) landed and retrieved their comrades’ bodies (which had been frozen). In 1965, the US had an exchange program with the aliens, where one entity was left behind and 12 trained Americans (10 men, 2 women) left for Serpo from the Nevada Test Site. They were supposed to stay 10 years, but something went wrong. In 1978, seven men and one woman returned; two had died on Serpo, and four others decided to remain. Of the 8 that returned, all have since died, the last in 2002. A few months after the documents became known, a UK Ministry of Defence official nicknamed “Chapman” claims the events were not as described but that the document is real, as he had seen it in 1969 or 1970 in London. He claims is was a CIA document authored by Alice Bradley Sheldon (a science fiction author using the pseudonym James Tiptree Jr. who worked for the CIA in 1952–1955) in response to Soviet disinformation in the 1960s about nuclear bombs in the US.

Event 53770 (9D9D69FC)

Date: 11/1/2005
Description: Victor Martinez, a civilian who runs an internet message board for retired intelligence community people interested in UAP, receives what alleges to be a
3,000-page report compiled by the Defense Intelligence Agency in the 1970s classified Top Secret.

It claims: there were two UAP crash sites in New Mexico southwest of Corona and at Pelona Peak, one live entity was found and several dead were transferred to Los Alamos National Laboratory, while the craft was sent to Wright-Patterson AFB. The live entity allegedly helped USG establish communications with his home planet, “Serpo,” in which 12 trained Americans eventually went to “Serpo” from the Nevada Test Site.

A few months later, an anonymous UK Ministry of Defense official nicknamed “Chapman” claimed the document is real, describing fake events. Chapman claims he saw the document in 1969-70 and claims it was written by CIA officer Alice Bradley Sheldon under the pseudonym James Tiptree Jr. Chapman claims the CIA wrote it in response to Soviet disinformation.

Date: 11/25/2005
Description: A man was having a late dinner with his family in Wichita, Kansas at 10:30 p.m. when he saw three lights on the horizon. In a flash they grew into a large, nearly blinding light source. He went outside and walked in the direction of the lights, and could see a cigar-shaped object moving up and down in a vertical motion. He had two dogs, and one was barking uncontrollably, while the other–a normally more aggressive dog–was whimpering and hid under the back deck. As he stood watching the UFO , a man about five feet tall approached him. The man spoke to him in a foreign language which he was certain was German. He could not remember anything after that point. The next morning he woke up on his bed. His family had gone and his entire body felt sore, particularly below the waist.

The figure was standing by a dresser next to his mirror, and was between 4-5 feet tall with large black eyes. As soon as he saw the alien’s face he pulled his blanket over his face. Moments later, while hiding under the blanket, he heard shuffling noises on the carpet and also what sounded like plastic tubes being slapped against a hand. The last sound he heard was a loud clapping noise. After daylight had broken he finally had the courage to pull off his covers and go to the bathroom, but by now everything seemed to be back to normal.

McGarity also states he saw a large triangular UAP on 23 October 1987 near the Archuleta Mesa that had markings on the underside of it. McGarity claimed Bob Lazar was a “simple technician” at Los Alamos with no clearance. McGarity also states the strange object in the Cash-Landrum case had been tracked as coming from the Gulf of Mexico.

Event 53788 (291C219C)

Date: 2006
Description: The UFO Research Coalition (CUFOS, MUFON, Fund for UFO Research) launches an Abduction Monitoring Project (later changed to Ambient Monitoring Project), an effort to create a compact, multi-instrumental device to be placed in the homes of recurrent abductees to record magnetic, electrical, and atmospheric anomalies over an extended period. The goal is to compare any reported abduction experiences with the anomalies to see if they coincide. After considerable difficulty with the design and construction of these boxes through 2008, data are recorded from participating abductees. However, funding is not available for the analysis needed to reach any conclusions.

Event 53792 (AE28B292)

Date: 1/30/2006
Description: Around two o’clock in the morning two friends awoke to a low humming sound, and a clattering noise against all the windows of the country house they occupied in Bragg Creek, Alberta, Canada. They looked outside and saw 20 or more tiny blue lights in the sky. They quickly picked up a video camera and began to film. The lights were high in the sky, and maneuvered freely in all directions, at times hovering together, one on top of the other. This continued for about an hour. They then noticed the objects getting much larger as they slowly descended to earth. They claimed they managed to get one or two close ups on video, but the quality was not great. The ridge about 1 ½ miles to the north then began to emit a day-like glow. Most of the objects were now no longer visible, but the humming sound had become almost deafening. Suddenly a strong wind began to blow out of the north, and the light on the ridge pulsated along the horizon, while clouds of smoke appeared to rise up slowly from each of six lit up areas. One of them next tried to make a phone call to a neighbor, but the phone was not working and instead made an unusual buzzing sound. They both leaned out the window to get a better view. Soon after, they heard a very eerie howl, not like any coyote they had ever heard, and almost like a siren but not as perfect. It was followed by a loud blood curling scream, definitely unhuman. A warm strong breeze next came out of the north, and it had a smell like burning plastic. A security light outside kept turning on, and they heard crashing and banging against the house, followed by a scratching along the walls on every side. Both of the witnesses then saw a tall, very pale humanoid figure with glowing eyes that ran across the driveway. Petrified, they shut themselves inside but continued to listen intently. When they next looked out the window they could see the smoke puff up from the illuminated hilltops again, and once again saw tiny blue lights that shot up into the sky, hovered briefly, and began to get smaller as they flew to a high altitude in the sky, where they remained visible for a long time.

Event 53795 (6546DD00)

Date: 2/15/2006
Description: The witness was driving alone from Elaine to Crumrod, Arkansas at six o’clock in the evening when he noticed two very bright lights on each side of his car that began to follow him. He turned into the driveway of the first house he came to and the lights did the same. He did not get out of the car, but instead blew the car horn for several minutes while the bright lights remained close to his car. He then saw figures with glowing eyes standing all around the house; they were looking at him. He started calling family members and friends on his cellphone, but it soon went dead and so did the car’s engine. A friend whom he had succeeded in phoning came by to pick him up, but did not see anything. His car still would not start an hour after the incident and had to be jump started. The resident of the house refused to come out because he thought there was something “strange” happening outside.

Note: CIA Office of Scientific and Weapons Intelligence and Life Sciences Division employee Dr. Christopher “Kit” Green worked for General Motors 1985-1999. Green often emailed Dr. Hal Puthoff and Col. John Alexander from a General Motors Co. corporate email address about UAP information, recovered biological materials and recovered UAP craft. Puthoff and Alexander held their own General Motors corporate email addresses despite no public admission of a UAP special project at the company. Did GM perform UAP work officially or unofficially in the 1990s?

Event 53809 (6DAF37D9)

Date: 4/28/2006
Description: Disclosure Project founder and alleged Clinton Administration briefer Steven Greer claims a Lockheed Skunk Works engineer told him he learned “astral projection” to remove his consciousness from his body. When practicing, he left his body and saw a UAP in Earth’s atmosphere. The engineer claimed UAP often appear in “dematerialized form” resonating at a frequency beyond the perception of human senses and electronic sensors.

Note: Former Lockheed Martin Skunk Works Sr. Tech Fellow Charles Chase runs the UnLAB at MIT. Chase worked in exotic propulsion, metamaterials and low observable technology at Lockheed and more recently received a DARPA/DSO QUEST grant to support vacuum fluctuation propulsion research, an area the AATIP program studied linked to UAP. In a presentation, Chase expressed scientific interest in the energy of thought and new ways to utilize human consciousness for aerospace purposes.

Event 53810 (6CC77471)

Date: 5/3/2006
Description: At 10:35 p.m. a woman coming home from work on rural roads in Franklin, Indiana sighted a triangle shaped object with three lights, one on each apex, and one in the middle, hovering over the Union Elementary School in Union Township. She stopped the car and got out to observe. It was estimated to be 1500 feet in the air, and made absolutely no sound as it hovered. It appeared to be a deep black in color, darker than the night sky, and almost seemed to absorb any light; the lights did not appear to illuminate anything under it. It was near the restricted military airspace for Camp Atterbury, located 20 miles south. She watched until the craft slowly moved off to the northwest.

Event 53814 (73B5099F)

Date: 5/15/2006
Location: UK
Description: The UK Defense Intelligence Staff releases (after a September 2005 Freedom of Information Act request by David Clarke and Gary Anthony) a 400-page report on a secret UFO study, codenamed “Condign,” undertaken by DIS between 1997 and February 2000. Unidentified Aerial Phenomena in the UK Air Defence Region, written by former Marconi Electronic Systems scientist Ron Haddow, draws on approximately 10,000 sightings and reports that have been gathered by the DI55, a section of the Directorate of Scientific and Technical Intelligence (DSTI) within the Defence Intelligence Staff. The report concludes that UFOs have an observable presence that is “indisputable,” but also that no evidence has been found to suggest they are “hostile or under any type of control.” According to its authors, the majority of analyzed UFO sightings can be explained by the misidentification of common objects such as aircraft and balloons, while the remaining unexplainable reports are most likely the result of a supernormal meteorological phenomenon not fully understood by modern science. This phenomenon is referred to in the report as “Buoyant Plasma Formation,” akin to ball lightning, and it supposedly produces an unexplained energy field that creates the appearance of a Black Triangle by refracting light. The electromagnetic fields generated by plasma phenomena are also said to explain reports of close encounters due to inducing perceptual alterations or hallucinations in those affected. The Condign report suggests that further research into “novel military applications” of this plasma phenomenon is warranted, and that “the implications have already been briefed to the relevant MoD technology manager.” The report also notes that scientists in the former Soviet Union have identified the close connection between the ‘UFO phenomena’ and Plasma technologies,” and are “pursuing related techniques for potential military purposes.” The report describes people who believe themselves to have had close encounters as being convinced of what they said that they had seen or experienced, but also as not representing proof that such encounters are real. It attributes a number of cases to the “close proximity of plasma related fields” which it said can “adversely affect a vehicle or person.”

Event 53815 (3896447F)

Date: 5/16/2006
Locations: northeast Australia; Great Divide; Brisbane, Queensland; New Zealand; Australia
Description: At least three green fireballs brighter than the moon but not as bright as the sun blaze over northeast Australia. A farmer sees one with a blue tapering tail pass over the mountains of the Great Divide about 75 miles west of Brisbane, Queensland, then watch a phosphorescent green ball about 12 inches wide roll slowly down the side of a mountain, bouncing over a rock along the way. A commercial airline pilot landing in New Zealand sees a meteor breaking up into fragments that turn green as the bits descend in the direction of Australia. The timing of the fireballs suggests they might be debris from Comet 73P/Schwassmann–Wachmann 3, according to physicist Stephen Hughes at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane.

Description: At around 11:00 p.m., while night hunting for wild boar, three men in Bonaire, Georgia came upon a stand of oak trees alongside a field where they had just run their dogs, and saw some lights coming from the woods. They decided to investigate and walked into the woods approximately 60 yards before they heard a loud whooshing sound. Their dogs then tucked their tails and began whining. When the men tried to get a closer look the lights dimmed, and another whooshing sound was heard. The men then saw two small green “midgets” run from behind a tree toward what appeared to be a large “concrete mixer” with lights on it. Later on, after waiting awhile and drinking a beer, the men ran back up the hill with their dogs. The light and the object had gone, and there was an eerie silence throughout the woods, so that even the insects were completely quiet. The next day, the men returned to the spot and found nothing out of the ordinary. Later that next evening one of the men went to feed his dogs and found that “Judo,” his best hunting dog, was sick and would not eat anything. He claims the dog died later that week without any apparent reason.

Event 53825 (2E4BEC56)

Date: 8/6/2006
Description: A man was driving in a remote area of Tapiola, Michigan at 11:30 p.m. when a square metallic craft overtook and hovered above his vehicle. The witness sped up to 80 mph but his car kept slowing down. He came to a sharp curve and the craft was still over him, so he tried to drive faster after taking the turn, but the car continued to slow down until it finally came to a complete halt. He and his dog got out of the vehicle and ran into some bushes to hide. He next saw many lights shining through the brush that were maybe a thousand yards distant, and there were about 50 “figures” moving about among the lights. There was a “cocoon”-shaped object about 12 feet long, and there were body lights on this object. The activity reminded him of an ant colony. Apparently the creatures noticed him, because he saw three creatures coming toward him into the brush. These were somewhat human-like with normal sized heads, but had very long legs and very long arms and large torsos. He did not see the eyes, for they were back lit by the light coming from behind them. The man and his dog ran further from the area and hid again. The beings appeared to search for him but gave up. From his new location he saw two more cocoon-like crafts, with numerous creatures moving around them.

Event 53842 (80FD9B82)

Date: 10/2006
Description: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory physicist “Henry Deacon” (pseudonym) claims he is employed by a three-letter agency and that black budget physics is decades ahead of physics in the open source. Deacon claims Project Shiva Nova uses arrays of lasers and creates rips in the fabric of space-time; Deacon claims this lets “things” like beings, influences and “all kinds of weird stuff” come into our present reality.

Deacon claims USG knowledge of probable and possible futures is highly classified and attempts to meddle in space-time creates more issues; time loops, rips, etc. Deacon claims UAP occupants on Earth are time travelers, and that experiments at Montauk, NY were real, but that claims by Al Bielek and others may be disinformation or incorrect. Deacon states Montauk was a “real mess…they created a time split we’re still unable to mend…this also relates to Project Rainbow.” Deacon claims jump rooms exist and that they’re naturally occurring and a stable one exists between locations on Earth and Mars.

Deacon corroborates testimony by Dan Burisch, who claims ET groups are concerned about affecting Earth’s current timeline for different outcomes they are interested in. Deacon claims Project Looking Glass may have been real and utilizes time viewing technology given to USG by ET. Deacon claims some ET groups are our own ancestors from different futures and nuclear weapons testing and high energy physics testing has created “time loops upon time loops, it’s all a mess.”

Deacon states there are a number of parallel timelines, lots of branches; and to the USG knowledge, there are no paradoxes. If the past is changed, it creates a different timeline, a new branch of the original one.

• https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/ciencia_henrydeacon01.htm

Note: Journalist Ross Coulthart, who has published USN sources indicating Navy involvement in UAP crash retrievals, claims undisclosed sources are telling him some UAP occupants are “future humans” and are attempting to avert a catastrophe. This corroborates Deacon, albeit with no proof.

Franc Milburn, former UK national security expert, states a similar theory has been given to him by USG sources albeit with no verification.

Rep. Mike Gallagher stated in 2022 “future humans” should be considered too.

Event 53853 (68F29C5B)

Date: 11/7/2006
Locations: O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois; Charlotte, North Carolina
Description: 4:15 p.m. Federal authorities at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois, receive a report that a group of 12 airport employees are witnessing a metallic, saucer-shaped craft hovering over Gate C-17. The object is first spotted by a ramp worker who is pushing back United Airlines Flight 446, which is departing Chicago for Charlotte, North Carolina. The employee apprises the crew of the object above their aircraft. It is believed that both the pilot and copilot also witness the object. Several independent witnesses outside of the airport also see the object. One describes a “blatant” disc-shaped craft hovering over the airport, which was “obviously not clouds.” According to this witness, nearby observers gasp as the object shoots through the clouds at high velocity, leaving a clear blue hole in the cloud layer. The hole reportedly seems to close itself shortly afterward. According to the Chicago Tribune’s Jon Hilkevitch, “The disc was visible for approximately five minutes and was seen by close to a dozen United Airlines employees, ranging from pilots to supervisors, who heard chatter on the radio and raced out to view it.” So far, no photographic evidence of the UFO has surfaced, although Hilkevitch finds out that one of the pilots is in possession of a digital camera at the time of the sighting and may have photographed the event. NARCAP publishes a 155-page report and has called for a government inquiry and improved energy-sensing technologies: “Anytime an airborne object can hover for several minutes over a busy airport but not be registered on radar or seen visually from the control tower, [it] constitutes a potential threat to flight safety.” The FAA stance concludes that the sighting was caused by a weather phenomenon and that the agency would not be investigating the incident.

Event 53891 (3C8C497F)

Date: 4/17/2007
Description: A circular craft with blue lights was seen by a 55-year-old man with an engineering background. At around 9:55 p.m. PST, the witness went out onto his front yard in Irvine, California for a smoke before bed. Normally he can see planes approaching Orange County Airport from the NNE and go past to the left to land approximately 8-9 miles away, but this night was overcast so he could hear some, but not see them as they broke cloud cover once they had passed his house. While standing on the driveway, he saw some blue light aloft to the North moving back and forth, almost flittering like a moth. He first thought it was a police helicopter. What was unusual was that it was moving more in a quick, back-and-forth movement instead of what is usually a slow circle. Also, he could not see a strong searchlight or hear any engine sound. It appeared that the object was 1-2 miles away. He thought this was odd, so he retrieved a pair of quality 20x binoculars from inside the house. What he next saw raised the hair on the back of his neck, because the lights seemed to consist of a row of individual blue lights that first were traveling to the left. As the object reversed direction, the object appeared to be first an ellipse and then a full circle; it had maybe 24-30 individual blue lights around the perimeter. It then traveled to the right and reversed the process, again forming a circle at the end of its travel when reversing direction. It traveled in each direction for 3-5 seconds. There were definitely no red/green port/starboard lights, only the blue perimeter lights and no strobe lights. He watched this object for 2-3 minutes. It finally disappeared into the cloud cover. The man used to fly small aircraft, so he was experienced with the shapes and types of various small aircraft.

Event 53895 (58B15892)

Date: 4/23/2007
Locations: Southampton, England; Isle of Wight; Guernsey; Channel Islands; Jersey ATC; Casquets; Alderney
Description: Afternoon. The passengers of Flight A-Line 544 depart Southampton, England, in a BN2a Mk3 Trislander aircraft at about 2:00 p.m. in fine weather with good visibility for miles around, though a haze layer is present at 2,000 feet, and a continuous cloud layer at 10,000 feet. They rise to an altitude of 4,000 feet and are cruising on autopilot about 10 miles south of the Isle of Wight. Capt. Ray Bowyer notices, exactly in the direction of Guernsey in the Channel Islands (southwest and 12 o’clock ahead) what appears to be a brilliant yellow lamp or light. He thinks that it might be an airplane or reflections from the ground, as Guernsey is immediately behind it. The reflection of the sun off a greenhouse is a possibility but the UFO persists for a couple of minutes. It is brilliant yellow, with a dark grey band enveloping it one third from the right, like a band around a cigar. Bowyer makes contact with Jersey ATC to check on traffic heading his way. Paul Kelly at Jersey ATC cannot see any traffic in that position, but he picks up a faint primary return radar signal. A passenger behind the captain confirms what Bowyer is seeing and points out a second UFO immediately behind the first: Bowyer estimates both lights to be “up to possibly a mile across.” Radar traces also seem to register the presence of two objects, which Bowyer believes to be correlated with the position and time of the sighting. The first object is presumed to have been near the Casquets, west of Alderney, and the second some miles north of Guernsey. A study by David Clarke, however, cannot establish a definite link, as the radar reflections of cargo or passenger ferries may have affected at least some of the readings. Bowyer disagrees with Clarke’s team on the supposed link between the radar traces and ferries and proposes that two solid airborne UFOs are working in unison that day. Captain Patterson, the second pilot witness, posits some type of “atmospheric phenomenon” as an explanation.

Event 53896 (55CB3F34)

Date: 4/25/2007
Description: In Northern India (exact location not given), the witness was returning home from work at 2:00 a.m. when suddenly the road in front of him ‘disappeared’ because there was a huge bus-like object with no wheels hovering over the road, blocking it. He then flashed on the car high beams to get a better look, and when he did this the object split in two and there was a very bright flash of light, lighting up everything briefly like daytime. A creature descended from the object and looked at the witness. Terrified, he turned the car’s headlights off, but kept the engine running so he could escape in the event of an attack. However, the being seemed to ignore him. It looked humanoid but was about 7-8 feet tall and quite bulky and hairy like a bear. The head was slightly bigger than that of an average man. It was carrying an instrument that looked like a crystal cube with a handle. It raised the instrument and waved it around briefly, and then took out a box and put the instrument in it. It then approached the witness’s car and as it approached the witness felt heat and a ‘force of high magnitude’. When it was about a meter away from him the man fainted due to the intense pressure he was feeling, like a G-force caused by high speed acceleration. He regained consciousness after 10 minutes, and the creature and the object were gone. There was a depression in the road about one foot in depth and 10-12 feet in diameter, where the UFO had been hovering. The witness rushed home but was unable to sleep. The next day, while going to the office, he stopped at the same spot and noticed that somehow the road had been repaired.

Date: 8/29/2007
Description: At 11:34 p.m. a man had just let his dogs out into his backyard in Stafford, Virginia when they starting acting very aggresively. The older female dog got out the door and immediately ran down a hill as if to attack something. When the witness walked out and followed behind the dog, he illuminated the area with his handheld spotlight and saw what appeared to be two small beings, about 4 feet tall. They looked to be made out of light, that was faint but only illuminated their heads and hands, as if their bodies were cloaked by clothing. Next these two figures retreated quickly about ten feet down the hill, and, incredibly, seemed to crawl up into an unseen opening or portal. It looked like they were going up into a completely darkened craft. The witness could only describe it as a portal or window like opening, which didn’t emanate any light. He could still see that there must have been some sort of craft present, because when it started to move away it caused an air turbulence and a moving shadow two feet off the ground. He tried to shine his light on it but it seemed to absorb all light. As it moved away it rose up into the sky and then he could begin to make out a shape. Before the small figures entered the craft they looked back at the witness, and their eyes glowed softly with a pale blue light, but he could not see any other facial features. His dog stopped barking when the object left. The witness described the shape of the object as arrow shaped, about 20 feet long, with the pointed and narrow end in front and wider at the rear.

Event 53932 (A44DDC67)

Date: 9/16/2007
Description: Anza Borrego State Park, California. Carl Mandeville (pseudonym) and his girlfriend had decided to go on an overnight backpacking adventure. Their destination was Mount Laguna, in the unincorporated area of San Diego, California. However, a forest fire in Julian closed off Route 78, so they took an alternative route and stumbled upon the Anza Borrego Desert State Park. They arrived at the park at 5:00 p.m. He had never hiked or backpacked at the park before, so Carl went to the visitor center and got the information he needed, and set off on his journey to Culp Valley Campground. Culp Valley campground is at approximately 3,500 feet in elevation. He and his girlfriend pulled into the campground, loaded their backpacks, and set off. They only backpacked about one mile out due to it being the evening. They set up a tent about 20 feet north of the trail. The tent was set up on a small slope looking down on the trail.

At around 3:00 a.m. the moon had sunk behind the mountains surrounding the desert, and it was pitch black, and his girlfriend was sleeping. Unable to sleep Carl just lay there staring at the starry sky. Suddenly, he heard a man’s voice, he when he looked in the direction it was coming from he saw a green light being waved back and forth. He immediately thought it was the park ranger. The light was about 50 yards east from his tent, and he could tell that whoever it was was using the green light to guide somebody on the trail. The green light was coming closer and closer to their tent, probably not directly to the tent but down the trail. Abruptly, the green light disappeared and Carl panicked, because out of nowhere a massive amount of light lit up the trail 20 feet from where he was. He was terrified; nobody was talking at this point, and he didn’t hear footsteps–just saw a massive amount of white light. The light was getting closer. He immediately ducked down and lay low in his tent, very scared. He then peeked out of the tent and saw 12 to 15 humanoid figures that looked like people, but some were extremely tall, and the rest were really very short with large bald heads. The tall figures appeared to be wearing white, cloak-like outfits, and the short figures appeared to be naked. Terrified and with his heart pounding, Jeremy watched the beings walk very gracefully and slowly, turning their heads from left to right with each footstep. They were all holding metal rod-like implements which emitted a powerful white light. They seemed to ignore the tent and walked “peacefully” by. The witness remained lying still and as quiet as he could, as the beings walked by his tent. The light eventually faded as the beings continued down the trail and disappeared. Still terrified, he woke his girlfriend 10 minutes later. He waited because he didn’t want the beings to hear them talking. The next day, he told the ranger about what had happened, and the ranger wrote it down in a report, suspecting it was some type of religious cult.

Description: An undisclosed witness had an apparent abduction experience with missing time beginning in the predawn morning hours in Lexington, Kentucky. He reported to the National UFO Reporting Center that while out walking the dog at 4:30 a.m. the small dog “who never barks” began to growl and spasm uncontrollably. Then a white light appeared and a sensation of warmth came over him, and the witness was knocked to the ground. When he awoke it was early afternoon, he was in a different location, his clothes were tattered, and he had several sore spots on his body including his anus. At first he thought he must have been the victim of an automobile hit and run, but to his dismay his arms and legs had various burn marks of unknown cause, and he suspects the cause may have been UFO related. The report form lists the shape of the UFO as a disc.

Event 53943 (3BAC9357)

Date: Fall 2007?
Locations: Pentagon’s C Ring; Las Vegas; Alaska; Hawaii
Description: The Defense Intelligence Agency, at the initiation of Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and the urging of government contractor and Las Vegas billionaire Robert Bigelow, quietly establishes the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP)—purposly misidentified as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), a Pentagon program to study UFOs—as a DIA project on the fifth floor of the Pentagon’s C Ring to evaluate the threat potential of UFOs. With the support of Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) and Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii), Reid secures $22 million in black-project funding in the 2008 Supplemental Funding Act directed to the DIA Directorate of Analysis, specifically the Defense Warning Office. Its goal is “to understand the physics and engineering of these [advanced aerospace weapon system] applications as they apply to the foreign threat out to the far-term, i.e., from now through the year 2050.” The Pentagon will spend this money between September 2008 and December 2010.

Event 53953 (BEB6FA65)

Date: 10/27/2007
Description: At around 1:00 a.m. the main witness and his friend were riding around League City, Harris and Galveston Counties, Texas looking for something to do. As they drove about they came upon a newly finished building on a new road, so they decided to check it out. No street lights had been erected yet, and it went through a large field. They were in the middle of the road when a huge, brown and tan object, somewhat oval shaped, came flying through the air straight at them. The driver slammed on the brakes because it didn’t look like the craft was going to stop, but as soon as he did that the object stopped. It just sat there hovering, about 10-15 feet from their car. For a short while both witnesses just sat in the car staring at the object, which took off straight up at an incredible speed. They then drove away, not knowing what to do. A few yards down the road they stopped and turned around–scared but still curious. They then saw the object again, floating just above the road, and it flew straight towards them again and hovered right over them; it stayed there for about 10 seconds and then it flew away. As they watched the object speeding away a weird-looking creature about 5 feet tall, with a round shape to it, jumped out of the bushes and ran onto the road. They had to swerve to avoid hitting it. They don’t know where the creature went, but it walked on two legs. It seemed to have been naked, and was an odd looking brown color. Afterwards, they drove home.

Location: Câmpia Turzii, Romania
Description: Afternoon. Pilot Marin Mitrică is flying a MiG-21 LanceR fighter on a training flight from Romanian Air Force 71st Base at Câmpia Turzii, Romania, when he is suddenly hit by an unknown object. The collision breaks the plastic window covering the cockpit, punches a hole in his helmet, and wounds his face. He reduces speed and descends from his altitude of 4 miles to avoid hypoxia and hypothermia. After landing, an examination of the flight recorder shows two small triangles approaching from the right. No traces of organic matter are found on the plane, ruling out birds, and there are no other civilian or military aircraft or balloons in the area.

Description: Luis Elizondo, an employee of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, claims that he is the director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), a small group of UFO-curious personnel at the Pentagon who are studying UFOs encountered by military personnel. Confusingly, it has the same name as the nickname of the Defense Intelligence Agency’s secret Aerospace Advanced Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP) used in 2008–2010 as a way to mask its real name. The group has the direct knowledge of their superiors. The core people in this group will form the basis of what will become the UAP Task Force, created by Congress in the summer of 2020, but it now operates without a budget, office, or formal name until Elizondo resigns from his job in 2017. The Department of Defense has claimed that AATIP ended in 2012.

Note: This article was published on 18 June 2016, three years before it was publicly disclosed that AATIP commissioned a study on HFGW presumably for study of its relationship to UAP. This was also years before HFGW were linked to UAP in the PUBLIC DOMAIN by physicists.

Ning Li and Robert Baker were working on Li-Baker HFGW detectors in the late 2000s, but this had no overt linkage to UAP in the PUBLIC DOMAIN.

Event 53983 (AB249AF2)

Date: 2008
Description: Dan Burisch claims to have been a microbiologist working at Papoose Lake Facility/S4 and claims to have been involved in a Project Aquarius investigating an extraterrestrial entity “J-Rod” and its neuropathy. Burisch claims he was a pro-tem member of Majestic-12, MJ-9, and dealt with “extraterrestrial human lineage and time travel information.”

He claims Project Looking Glass involved a reverse engineered time viewing device, and that there were three extraterrestrial groups visiting Earth: the P45s, humans from approximately 45,000 years in the future that were pale and “grey alien” in appearance, having lived in an apocalyptic Earth; the P52s
from 52,000 years in the future of similar appearance and the P52 Orions, who are human looking and spiritual. Burisch claims the P45s and P52 stayed on Earth after a catastrophe and the P52 Orions left Earth for the Moon and later Mars. Burisch claims the P45s are intent on justifying their history and want the catastrophe to occur, while the P52s and P52 Orions do not. Burisch also claims a Project Lotus is attempting to utilize ET technology to manipulate human DNA and RNA.

Description: Chester Lytle, a contractor who assisted with the Manhattan Project involved in classified R&D work for the AEC, DOD and CIA, states he saw a disc with a dome through a telescope while a nuclear weapon was being loaded into a B-29 in the 1950s at Kirtland AFB. Lytle also states he was good friends with Gen. William Blanchard, former Roswell base commander; he states Blanchard told him an “alien spacecraft” had been recovered near Roswell in July 1947 with four dead humanoids; he states another source told him some bodies were sent to Muroc Army Airfield (now Edwards AFB) and eventually Hangar 5 at WPAFB.

Event 53986 (0F6DD347)

Date: 1/8/2008
Locations: Stephenville, Texas; Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth; Stephenville Empire-Tribune; Oklahoma; Fort Worth; Temple; Prairie Chapel Ranch; Crawford, Texas
Description: 6:10 p.m. Truck driver Harlan Cowan is traveling east toward Stephenville, Texas, when he sees two stationary lights directly ahead. They are as bright as welding arcs. They split apart and move rapidly away from each other to the north and south at a high rate of speed. At 6:15 p.m., private pilot Steve Allen and three other witnesses 5 miles southeast of Stephenville see four lights similar in intensity to burning magnesium. They come out of the northeast at a speed faster than a military jet. Allen thinks the lights are spread out over a one-mile area. They slow down and remain stationary northwest of his position, then they shift from 4 lights in a horizontal position to 7 lights in a vertical position, emit a white flame, and blink out. Over 30 more witnesses come forward to report odd lights until about 9:30 p.m. Some also see fighter jets chasing the light. Angela Joiner, a reporter with the Stephenville Empire-Tribune, calls Maj. Karl Lewis, spokesman for the 301st Fighter Wing at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, who first tells her he thinks the lights are reflections of the sun on high- altitude aircraft. When she asks about military aircraft reported by witnesses, Lewis volunteers the information that there were no F-16s from his unit operating that night, and no other pilots had reported a UFO. On January 16, a FOIA request is sent to the Federal Aviation Administration for any radar data from sites around Stephenville. On January 23, the Air Force admits in a press release that there indeed were 10 F-16s performing training operations that night between 6:00 and 8:00. Joiner contacts Lewis again, who now merely reads the press statement and is not helpful. In February, responses to FOIAs by Robert Powell and Glen Schulze begin to arrive. Military bases unanimously respond with “we have found no records responsive to your request.” However, the FAA releases its raw radar information in mid-February. It is clear that the unknown lights are not related to F-16 activity, but there is intense Air Force activity that night. Ten F-16s and one AWACS jet make figure-8s over the area. Two F-16s from Oklahoma fly south to the Stephenville area. FAA radar returns also show a target four miles north of Allen’s sighting that moves at an apparent speed of 2,100 mph. At 7:20 p.m., two radar sites pick up a target that corresponds to Constable Lee Roy Gaitan’s observation of an unknown light. Another radar track begins at 6:51 p.m. An unknown object without a transponder signal is tracked with FAA radar for more than one hour. Two different radars (one at Fort Worth and another at Temple) make contact with the object 187 times as it covers a distance of 50 miles on a constant trajectory to the southeast. Its speed varies from stationary, to accelerating to 532 mph in 30 seconds, to deaccelerating to 49 mph in 10 seconds. It is traveling on a direct course to President George W. Bush’s Western White House in Crawford, Texas. At 8:00 p.m. it is 10 miles from Prairie Chapel Ranch. Two witnesses riding bicycles 2 miles away from the ranch see a light that slowly descends, makes a 90° turn, then speeds out of sight in 1–2 seconds. But no F-16s pursue this potential interloper.

Date: 4/12/2008
Description: In Sonora, California a man saw what he descibed as a “Grey translucent being” studying the flowers in his garden. He had arrived back home from work after parking the car in the garage and had walked to his front door, when he was amazed to see what looked like “a typical grey alien being in my garden.” It was translucent and not completely solid, and about five feet tall. It seemed incredibly thin and had a very pointed chin. It appeared to be studying the plants, and from this point on he has no certain recollection of the events that followed. It didn’t appear to be interested in him. He had two memories of walking into his house. One is where he walked in and went straight to bed; the other is where he alerted the dogs and made them check outside, which they didn’t want to do. His wife had been working until 7 a.m. and was in bed asleep when he arrived. The next day he had no recollection of any of this. It wasn’t until some 20 hours later that he remembered what he had seen. He told his wife as soon as he saw her, and she thought he was insane…fornot mentioning it sooner! The other strange thing was that he didn’t feel afraid at all to go out in the dark garage or garden. He did not see any UFO or craft on this night, but had seen many previously. The following evening he did see a large white light sweep across the sky while walking the dogs.

Event 54002 (A47C21A0)

Date: 4/12/2008
Description: Several members from the UFO group “Ovni Merida” were conducting a “night vigil” in an isolated field at about 350 meters from the road in Baca, Merida, Mexico. It was a cloudy night with little moon. At around midnight one of the men saw what appeared to be a pair of red eyes at about 100 meters away in a field. The eyes were shiny and the men immediately thought it was a dog, but it did not bark, move, or approach them, and it suddenly disappeared. Two of the men walked over to the site, but failed to locate any tracks or ground traces. As they looked around, the same pair of red shiny eyes appeared again, about 100 meters away in another field. The eyes vanished and then would appear again another 100 meters away in another field; this went on for several minutes. The men again failed to find any footprints or traces. Soon, they rejoined the others, and heard a loud galloping sound like that of a horse; immediately after that they heard the sound of huge wings flapping overhead, and this caused one of the men to scream in fright. One of them managed to see a large pair of dark wings disappear into some nearby brushes. Two of the men went to investigate, one armed with a powerful flashlight and the other with a canister of tear gas. They approached the bushes but they failed to find anything. Later, when the group was again together, one of them who had gone to investigate reported that he had seen a shadowy, two-foot tall figure walking in the brush. The figure, whatever it was, seemed to be walking hunched over. Terrified, he asked the other man to return to camp.

Date: 5/6/2008
Description: Political scientists Alexander Wendt and Raymond Duvall publish an article, “Sovereignty and the UFO” in Political Theory, in which they point to the fundamental weakness of anti-UFO arguments, which claim falsely that no evidence exists. When skeptics are not arguing along those lines, they use a priori logic, which insists that if extraterrestrials exist, they would not behave or look as UFO witnesses describe. Another assertion is that spacecraft could never get to Earth, given the constraints of distance and speed. The authors argue that the problem is that the idea of real UFOs challenges anthropocentric norms, making it a taboo even to acknowledge a phenomenon that has been declared non-existent.

The program continued to be funded until at least 2020, where it was mentioned in a budget document.

The language in the AASC program description is similar to the DIA’s Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program (AAWSAP), and coincidentally received DARPA funding the same year the DIA sought private sector bids for AAWSAP.

Event 54020 (865A088E)

Date: 6/7/2008
Description: On this night in Antioch Community, South Carolina a married couple with many years of aviation experience were returning from some friends’ house where they had been watching movies. They were discussing one of the movies when the wife said, “Look at that, what in the world is that?” They saw a black triangular craft in the air with lights and several windows. There was a purple beacon in the center of the bottom, but no position lights or anti-collision lights anywhere on the object. They thought for a moment that it might be a B-2 bomber, but it made no noise at all and after “zooming” up to them it stopped right over their vehicle. About this time they turned onto their private road and made it up to their house. This was around 11:20 p.m. The next thing that either of them remembers was being in the car at 2:24 a.m. in the morning. The car was running but the wife was in the driver’s seat and the husband in the passenger’s. Since he is 6’5” and she is 5’7” this meant that his knees were forced into the dashboard.Neither remembers anything whatsoever after parking the car. They do not remember what happened during the lost time, why they were in different positions in the car, or why they were still sitting outside their house with all of the car windows still down and the moon roof open. The husband woke up with a headache the next morning, and his wife felt ill enough to stay in bed for most of the next day. There were other good reports of flying triangles that same night in Brooklyn, Michigan and Mountain View, California.

Event 54021 (25339D1D)

Date: 6/26/2008
Location: Boulder, Colorado
Description: 9:20 a.m. At the 27th Annual Meeting of the Society for Scientific Exploration in Boulder, Colorado, Jerome Clark gives a lecture on the distinction between “event anomalies” (which cannot be easily explained) and “experience anomalies” (which are effectively inexplicable). Event anomalies require a scientific investigation to be understood, documented, and incorporated into current or future knowledge. Experience anomalies are indifferent to truth narratives, supporting false ones just as readily; they embrace the notion of liminality, in which it is possible to enter a “realm between the daylight of science and reason and the dark night of dreams and superstition.” Clark expands on the concept in later books and articles.

Note: Do local FBI field offices or DOE/NNSA counterintelligence offices surrounding Los Alamos and other AEC facilities have relevant UAP data? For example, AEC security patrol archives in Oak Ridge, TN contained a sighting of a rectangular UAP on 20 June 1949. It stands to reason other local archives may contain more up to date data.

Description: An anonymous poster on Above Top Secret claims a family friend was a senior Naval officer when he was growing up and he told him there is a “mountain of BS” out there regarding Montauk and Camp Hero and the primary aspect of the facility was the utilization of drugs to test subjects’ psi capabilities. He states there were rooms that were designed in a way to trigger bad trips when the subjects were on LSD because there was a belief that trauma could improve a user’s psi abilities. Of note, Operation Midnight Climax, a subproject of Project MK-ULTRA based on lessons learned in Project Artichoke, was a real declassified CIA program that drugged unknowing citizens with LSD to study the effects.

The beings were described as “translucent” and greenish in color with large black eyes. No legs were visible, and they seemed to move around strangely and very quickly. Two of the witnesses were just 50-100 meters from the craft and beings, but were too surprised and frightened to take any photos on their cellphones. The humanoids appeared to notice the witnesses, and re-entered the craft, which soon took off and disappeared.

The intent is to research technology that could shed light on the UFO/UAP phenomenon. Robert Bigelow sets up the Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) project with 40–50 full-time support staff to carry out the contract through September 30, 2010. DIA intelligence officer James T. Lacatski becomes the program manager, and biochemist Colm Kelleher is deputy administrator.

Event 54047 (E0E63384)

Date: 10/2008
Description: JASON Group’s Program Office, run out of the MITRE Corp., publishes a technical report evaluating the national security significance of high frequency gravitational waves (HFGW). The report concludes national security and aerospace applications of HFGW are not possible and wrong. Two years later, HFGW was the subject of a Defense Intelligence Reference Document produced for the Defense Intelligence Agency’s Advanced Aerospace Weapon Systems Applications Program (AAWSAP), which concluded HFGW could be used for interplanetary navigation. It is unknown but likely HFGW was deemed UAP-affiliated subject matter due to its inclusion in the AAWSAP program.

It is possible JASON was tasked to debunk HFGW because the responsible party listed on the SF298 for MITRE’s contract was Dr. Ronald Pandolfi, of CIA. Ten years later (see 26 February 2019),
Pandolfi was sued by FOX TV producer Robert Kiviat for allegedly running a disinformation scheme to frame public perception of the UAP issue.

A response to the JASON paper from the author of the AAWSAP paper, Robert Baker of GravWave LLC, accuses the JASON analysis of making several serious errors including a failure to review all available peer-reviewed literature. When asked if JASON had a “preconceived agenda to discredit HFGW research,” Baker and GravWave responded: “it is difficult to believe otherwise.”

MATE signs a contract with Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) to provide BAASS with technical papers on the subjects of UAP lift, power generation, human interface, alleged extraterrestrial implants, abductions, antigravity propulsion and using superconductors for propulsion.

Soon after, BAASS served as a contractor for the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), but it is unknown of the MATE studies on implants, etc. made its way into the hands of USG program managers at AAWSAP. It is also unknown if BAASS disclosed to MATE that they were a contractor for the USG.

Description: The witness climbed into his sleeping bag around 11:00 p.m. in his tent while camping in the Lake District, England. At 1:30 a.m. he was awakened by a deep humming sound that seemed to vibrate through him. The inside of his tent was also lit up by a dim glow. What was most puzzling and disturbing was that from that time onward he could remember nothing until dawn on Wednesday morning, when he woke up outside his tent, stark naked and very cold. His tent and clothes had a very strong ‘ozone’ smell. His only recollection was being laid face down on something hard, and having something hard pushed into his rectum, which was very sore at the time.

Event 54095 (EAF21FC4)

Date: 5/8/2009
Location: northern Georgia
Description: 11:45 p.m. “Derek Jones” is alerted by his two dogs barking in his backyard in northern Georgia, where his 10- year-old son is camping out in a tent with a friend. He sees a large triangular object about 300 feet long with yellowish lights at each apex moving silently above him. There is a bluish-white light in the center. Behind the triangle are four small objects, two egg-shaped and two round, with bluish-white lights that change to greenish to white and back to bluish. The smaller objects dart up and down soundlessly and erratically. He attempts taking pictures of it with a camera and a videocamera, but the batteries fail in both devices. When he points a bright spotlight beam at the triangle, it responds immediately with a beam of intense bluish-white light about 2–3 feet in diameter that strikes him for about 3 seconds, causing a burning sensation. He runs back into the house, where he watches two of the smaller objects move away to the south-southwest while the other two shoot straight up. He goes to bed, but is awakened by low-flying helicopters at 2:00 a.m. Around 7:30 a.m., he is visited by two men who want to talk about his “sighting report.” They are driving a black sedan, produce no identification, one of them is armed, and they behave oddly as they interview him for 30–40 minutes. After he sees the same men in the black sedan a week later, he reports the license plate to BAASS, which tracks it to a Department of Homeland Security carpool. Jones experiences hair loss and general unwellness within 18 days of the incident. In October he develop lumps on his legs, groin, and back; they enlarge, multiply to 24, and become painful in February 2010. One of the lumps is diagnosed as non-malignant lymphoma, but a BAASS-contracted physician suspects Jones has undergone about 300 grays of ionizing radiation.

Event 54096 (4B5CC73F)

Date: 5/8/2009
Description: A Department of Homeland Security black sedan visits a UAP witness twice after a sighting in Georgia. The witness “Derek Jones” sees a large triangular UAP and four smaller spherical UAP above his backyard. When “Jones” attempts to photograph it, the device fails. When he points a flashlight at the triangle, it responds with a beam of blue-white light on him for 3 seconds, causing burning and later, hair loss and lumps on his legs, groin and back diagnosed as
non-malignant lymphoma. The same day the DHS personnel first interview “Jones,” he hears low-flying helicopters near his property. One of the men is armed and they produce no identification.

They tell him not to mention the sighting to anyone, and take detailed notes and diagrams of Jones’ description of the triangle. “Jones” reported the license plate to Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS), a contractor for the Defense Intelligence Agency’s Advanced Aerospace Weapon Systems Applications Program (AAWSAP). BAASS tracks the license plate to a DHS carpool.

He writes Deputy Defense Secretary William J. Lynn III that AATIP has made “much progress” with the “identification of several highly sensitive, unconventional aerospace-related findings” that will “likely lead to technology advancements.” He requests that it be designated a “restricted Special Access Program.” Some of the ongoing projects include power and propulsion systems (nuclear propulsion, anuclear fusion, positron propulsion, magnetohydrodynamics, traversable wormholes, warp drives, antigravity, zero-point energy), materials science (metallic glass, programmable matter), recalculating the Drake Equation, invisibility, and weaponry (pulsed microwaves, high-powered lasers).

Description: 9:20 p.m. Retired police officer Buck Scarsdale is sitting with his son Bo and girlfriend Joanna Fife on the porch of his ranch home in Lagol, Ventura County, California. They notice seven bright blue lights silently hovering several feet off the ground in the orchard about 500 feet away. They jump in a truck and drive slowly with the lights off toward the display. When they get there, the lights are gone. After returning to the house, they decide to drive back, this time with flashlights. After 10 minutes of searching on foot, they hear two loud clicks coming from some dense bushes, and three others clicks coming from different directions. They return to the house. Buck’s brother Roger arrives at 10:30 p.m., and both of them return to the orchard. Just before 11:00 p.m., Roger sees a silver, gray, and blue flash as an oblong object disappears into an opening in the sky that closes quickly. On July 10, Buck, Bo, and Joanna see an intensely blue light at the northern end of the pasture. Buck and Roger approach it and watch a floating light 5 feet in diameter maneuvering for 5 minutes 900 feet away before it vanishes. Two teams of investigators sent by Robert Bigelow also see lights and orbs the rest of the month, and their camera and video equipment behaves oddly.

Event 54111 (D5DC5630)

Date: 8/18/2009
Description: Camped on the top of a ridge outside of Sedro Wooley, Washington at around 1:00 a.m., a man who had previously seen a multi-colored UFO many times in the area late at night took out his binoculars and sighted an oval-shaped disc with blinking red, blue, and green lights. It was making a low-pitched, humming sound, and was hovering over a small clearing on the ridge. Through the binoculars he saw what appeared to be a porthole, and through the porthole he could see a humanoid being wearing some sort of a helmet. Frightened, the man decided to climb down off the ridge and go home.

Event 54114 (3D2CA148)

Date: 8/28/2009
Description: In Apolda, Thuringen, Germany 12-year-old Natali was woke up by her little brother at around 3:00 a.m. because he wanted help going to the bathroom. After returning to her bedroom, she heard a cat meowing outdoors, so she went out onto her patio. She next heard a deep humming, vibrating sound, and looking up she saw through the transparent sky-roof window a large shiny circular flying object, which flew off towards some nearby woods and then came back to hover over her house. Scared, she ran to her bedroom and hid under some blankets. However, the craft then shone a bright beam of light into her room through her window. She saw a short Grey humanoid, with a huge hairless head and large almond-shaped eyes, peering in the window at her. The creature had no lips and only a small slit for a mouth, it also had a very thin neck. She estimated it to be the same height as her four-year-old brother. When the figure became aware that the girl had seen it, it quickly disappeared from view, and in the next few moments the circular craft disappeared over some nearby trees.

Event 54115 (F6D52563)

Date: 8/30/2009
Description: A married couple had gone camping at Unicoi State Park, Georgia on this night and had gotten up at around 4:00 a.m. to use the restrooms at a facility on the campsite. It was very dark out, except for the light from her lantern and the lights from the building. After the wife started to walk back to her tent, she stopped because she sensed that their was someone close behind her. She turned around and saw three Grey humanoid beings standing there. At first she thought they were other campers, but when one of them turned to look at her she realized that they were not human. For one thing, their arms were too long and their bodies were too thin. Their skin also had a pale, glossy look, and they had very large heads and lumps covering the tops of their scalps. They had huge black eyes that seemed to stare right through her. She estimated that they were about five feet tall. the one that saw her began to slowly approach, but she ran away, and got back to her tent and found her husband. When he asked her what was wrong, all she could say was, “There’s some [expletive deleted] aliens back there!” After he had finally calmed her down, he told her to stay in the tent and he walked back to see, but he found nothing. Throughout the rest of the night they kept waking up and had a fitful night; the husband reported that he saw a shadowy figure moving about outside their tent, but he didn’t hear any footsteps. He also looked up and saw the top cover of the tent move, and if someone had pulled it aside to look in at them from above.

Event 54117 (07726E89)

Date: 9/5/2009
Description: At 5:22 p.m. a married couple and their 7-year-old son were parked next to the Coronda River in Puerto Gaboto, Santa Fe State, Argentina when they noticed something strange in the sky over a nearby field. They saw something white flying through the air, and when they looked at it through the telephoto lens of their camera’s zoom lens they were startled to see that what it was was a cow suspended beneath a hovering, metallic disc-shaped craft some 30 meters above it. It became clear that the cow was being “absorbed” or levitated up into the UFO. Suddenly and inexplicably, both the cow and the ufo vanished in plain sight, but they managed to photograph the bizarre series of events. According to them the cow was not moving, but appeared to be either asleep or paralyzed. Locals reported that cattle mutilations had been found in the region in the past.

Event 54122 (661F5DA3)

Date: 9/14/2009
Description: At 10:15 p.m. a man who wishes to remain anonymous was driving north on Hudson Drive, Stow, Ohio on his way to work when he spotted a 9 to 10 foot tall solid black entity standing on the southbound side of the road, near the Rte 8 overpass and just north of the local Applebee’s restaurant. It was only about fifteen to twenty feet from his vehicle as he drove by. The creature had no discernable head or facial figures. Looking back in his rearview mirrow the entity was no longer visible, and the entire sighting lasted only about five seconds. The witness became extremely upset, and he had uncontrolled watering of his eyes; he tried to call his wife on his cell phone, but it would not work, either from the programmed address book or with manual input calling. He kept getting “call failed”, which had never happened before. The cell phone failed to connect all the way to the I-271 entrance ramp, a distance of 8-10 miles. The following day, on his way home from work, as he neared the Rte 8 overpass, this time driving over the bridge, his eyes began to tear up uncontrollably again until he got beyone the bridge, when his eyes began to clear up.

Description: 12:15 a.m. A mental health professional in Port Jervis, New York, is driving home listening to Christmas CDs on the car’s player. Coming around a bend, he sees an object about one mile away. As he comes to the next turn, he slows down to 25 mph to get a better look, but by then he is surprised to see that it is almost on top of him. He stops the car on the side of the road, putting it in park with the engine running. The object is cigar-shaped and turning clockwise slowly as it approaches. It is moving slowly like a hot-air balloon. He hears a sound like a cat purring at a low frequency. The UFO passes overhead and his vehicle suffers a complete power failure. His cellphone is also dead. He opens the driver’s door and looks up, seeing lights on the bottom of the object, which immediately blink out. The car starts again spontaneously.

Event 54137 (C1AADD84)

Date: 12/9/2009
Locations: Trøndelag; Northern Norway; Northern Sweden
Description: Night. A large beam of light is seen and photographed for 10 minutes over all of northern Norway from Trøndelag in the south through all the counties further north, as well as parts of northern Sweden. The phenomenon consists of a blue beam of light with a grayish spiral emanating from one end of it. It moves from behind a mountain, stops in mid-air, and starts to spiral outwards. A similar, though less spectacular, event also occurred in Norway the month before. Both events have visual features of failed flights of Russian RSM-56 Bulava SLBM. The Russian Defense Ministry admits shortly afterward that such an event had taken place at the time on December 9.
