TENNESSEE FLYING TRIANGLE
 
PINEY FLATS -- Lady Morgan Moonstone writes, "I'd like to report a sighting: On May 9, 2000, at about 9:15 PM, in the Piney Flats Industrial Park, I observed a triangle shaped UFO hovering about 50 yards above the trees. It had a white light on each corner and an orange light in the middle of it." It made no sound and disappeared before I could pull over to take a picture. It appeared about the size of a bus at my distance from the object. Two weeks earlier, I saw an orange ball-shaped light at a very far distance and was able to take a picture of it but do not have it developed yet. (I will send a copy if it turns out.) Additionally, several friends of mine have spotted this triangle-shaped UFO and all of them have the same description. This particular area seems to be a "hot spot." Thanks to Morgan Moonstone, @Morgan preferred.
 
ARKANSAS FLYING TRIANGLE
 
LITTLE ROCK -- My friend and I went outside at 10:50 PM to walk the dogs on May 1, 2000. I always look at the stars; I am an amateur astronomer and have had a keen interest in that subject for some time. As I looked to the Northeast, I saw what I believed to be a satellite moving to the Southeast. I pointed this out to my companion. As the object past over head at 90 degrees I saw there were actually three objects flying in formation, or one large object forming an isosceles triangle. It moved silently at a uniform speed with no change in intensity The person with me was able to see two of the three points of light before they faded in the Southeast. The space between the triangle points was very large. I estimate you could place 3 full moons within that area. Movement of the object(s) was very fluid, no sound, the points of light making up the triangle remained fixed, not increasing or decreasing in distance. I observed no stars being blacked out as the object(s) passed over. Distance above the earth was very difficult to determine other than to say they appeared to be in low earth orbit at about 45 degrees above the horizon.
 
TEXAS DISC
 
Lamar James writes that Pat Carithers, a wire editor for the Arkansas Gazette newspaper, once confided in me that he encountered a UFO 45 while driving in west Texas. He said he was driving an old gas/oil guzzling Mercury across country accompanied by his wife and a noisy parakeet in a cage on the backseat. Pat said just before reaching some mountains, the radio died as did the car engine. The parakeet also shut up. A couple of hundred yards in front of them, a silvery saucer shape rose out of mountains, tilted at an angle and zipped out of sight within seconds. The car engine and radio started, but the parakeet remained silent. The sighting produced unexpected benefits. Pat swears his oil guzzler didn't burn another drop of oil and the parakeet never uttered another sound for the rest of the trip. By the way, I saw ball lightning during a storm when I was 11 years old, and it looked nothing like a UFO. It was like a soccer ball made of sparks which hit a fire hydrant and bounced down the sidewalk before disappearing. It was so incredible, I doubted what I had seen for a while Thanks to Lamar James ljames@uaex.edu
 
NORTHERN NEVADA DISC SEEN FROM AIRLINER
 
While traveling on United flight 739 from Denver to San Jose, in a window seat, I saw a round silvery object with a "hump" or rounded top pass below our plane on April 23, 2000. The rounded top heading east was identifiable by a shadow that was cast by the low setting sun at 1840 PDT. Assuming we were at about 30,000 feet, the craft was at about 25,000 feet, as it looked about a mile away, at the 7 o'clock position in reference to the planes forward motion. That means I saw it along the bottom of my window, as well as the window in front and behind the one next to me. I first caught a glimpse in the window in front of me, across the window next to me, and followed it through the window behind me until it disappeared underneath the wing. I was in row 10 on the left side of the plane, so I was looking down and to the South. It took about 10 to 12 seconds to cover that span of sight. Ten minutes later I saw another jet liner about three miles away, also going east and it took about 40 seconds to cross my view in just the window next to me -- hence the UFO was traveling at about five times faster than that airliner or roughly 3000 mph. I believe we were over northern Nevada at the time, just after clearing a very rugged mountain range. I estimate the object to be 55 feet in diameter based on the width of the occasional dirt road I could see on the desert floor. It was a very desolate area. I tried to seek out the pilot and crew after the flight, by waiting for them about 20 minutes to deplane, but they did not get off, so I went about my business. Some research of who piloted that flight should be able to identify the crew, and they may be willing to confirm the sighting. Thanks to Peter Davenport, Director NUFORC www.ufocenter.com
 
UPDATE ON SIGHTING IN NOVA SCOTIA
 
Eugene H. Frison MUFON's Nova Scotia Provincial Director writes that further investigation of a black triangular object observed by a local paperboy has revealed some additional facts. The witness decided to take a shortcut through a cemetery to get a paper to a customer who wanted his paper very early. Upon entering the cemetery, he immediately felt something was not right -- the wind was different and seemed to have a whining sound mixed in with it. After walking a considerable distance along the road into the cemetery, he felt a cold wind and noise come up behind him and, out of the corner of his eye; he watched a solid object pass about three feet away from his right elbow. He could feel the cold rush on his face as it passed. His scalp became hot as it went by. Once it had moved in front of him, he could discern its triangle shape and that it was cruising very fast just above the ground. He estimated the object was about nine feet tall and five feet along the base. It veered off sharply on a 45-degree angle after negotiating a near 90-degree change of direction in the cemetery road. The witness reported tiny raised blisters that burned and stung so much if picked that it brought tears to his eyes troubled his face and chest area. These began shortly after the sighting and lasted a couple of days. Thanks you for sending me Filer's Files. Thanks to Eugene H.

UFO SEEN IN ARGENTINA
 
TANDIL -- The "El Eco de Tandil" Newspaper of May 5, 2000, states, "Residents claim witnessing UFOs over the area." Once again, several people claim to have seen powerful beams of light whose characteristics do not match those of any machines known to man. One of these persons is Hugo Macias, 60, who works for La Capital newspaper in Mar del Plata for the past 37 years. He has delivered newspapers every morning traveling along a circuit made up of Balcarcel and Tandil, giving him perfect knowledge of National Highway 226. "On Tuesday at 5:00 AM, as always, " he explained, I left the newspaper at the National Gendarmerie at Planta Terrena, heading toward Mar del Plata. I traveled some 6000 meters and suddenly heard a very strange noise approaching me from behind, and I felt myself "contained" within a powerful bright light. I say, "contained" because the light covered a diameter of 50 meters, and penetrated all sides of my vehicle. It seemed to pierce the rooftop." How long did this last? "Seconds only, but they appeared to be rather long." There were no other vehicles on the road? "None whatsoever--during the remainder of the trip I may have passed two other cars. It was a light traffic day." So, what happened later? "Well, I returned to Tandil, discussed the event with a group of friends and with a gentleman who belongs to the Army Command and to whom I deliver the paper every day. When I returned to Mar del Plata, I headed to the Gendarme Station to see if the duty guard had seen anything that night. The guard had left but another one who told me that on five or six separate occasions similar strange things had been seen. The next day, Macias was shown a story appearing in the local evening paper a similar case thirty minutes later over Tendril. The gentleman from the Army Command also told me that the guards on duty had also witnessed a light in the sky, with a very strange shape.
 
"The Gendarmes don't discuss the matter because things can get complicated. If word of this should reach NASA, there would be disturbances and people looking into the subject." Did they tell you what they believed to have seen? "No. People just say what they saw but don't express opinions about it." Are these objects commonly seen here? "On my way from Tandil I made the comment with Sheriff Lopez of El Dorado (on Route 226), who's knowledgeable about UFOs, and he advised me on why the Gendarmerie avoids getting into the subject because it knows how NASA works: they can send an airplane with six scientists anywhere in the world and carry with them an all terrain vehicle in which they can visit locations in person. Many locals don't like strangers visiting them." My experience was lovely, because what began as fear, at first, is now the satisfaction of having been contacted by something that researchers in the field would like to have seen and never have, " noted Hugo. " I am convinced that it was not from this world. The power of that beam of light is not a power produced by any luminous source that we have at this time. I felt nothing at all, physically then, but for the past two days, I have felt headache, laryngitis, and many other symptoms. I'm just happy for the chance to have lived through a contact experience like this one." Thanks (c) 2000. Institute of Hispanic Ufology (IHU) for the translation.
 
IRELAND GREEN CYLINDRICAL UFO SIGHTED
 
DUBLIN -- On Tuesday, March 14, 2000, at 10:52 PM, Gary Mugan was listening to the radio at his home in Ballinteer, a suburb of Dublin, the capital of Ireland, when he spotted a strange glow in the sky. "I saw a light green glowing object, cylindrically shaped," Gary reported, "It passed over my house and paused momentarily. I was listening to my radio and it stopped. It took off at amazing speed over the mountains. There was no sound." Gary estimated that the UFO was "a green cylinder about 40 feet (12 meters) long" and "flew at about 50 miles per hour (80 kilometers per hour)" and took off at the speed of a supersonic jet. Afterward, he added, "I rang up a local radio talk show and told them about it." The radio station was 104.4 FM in Dublin. Thanks to UFO Roundup Vol. 5, # 19 May 11, 2000 Editor: Joseph Trainor
 
CARTER WHITE HOUSE PROBE INTO ET SUPPRESSED,
 
"EXOPOLITICS", a new book by former Stanford Research Institute (SRI) futurist Alfred Webre, claims that a 1977-78 White House study into Extraterrestrial communications during the Carter years was secretly suppressed at the behest of Pentagon officials, led by the SRI liaison with the Pentagon. The study was to have been undertaken jointly by the National Science Foundation and the Center for the Study of Social Policy at SRI where the author was a futurist and principal investigator of the study. According to EXOPOLITICS, the suppression of important Carter White House study is part of what he terms "Exopolitics" or the process of government and politics in the Universe. EXOPOLITICS asks: Is there intelligent life in the Universe? In fact, the truest conception of our human circumstance may be that we are on an isolated planet in the midst of a populated, evolving, highly organized inter-planetary, inter-galactic, universal society. Earth is isolated because we are in intentional quarantine by a structured, rational universe society. Exopolitics, the dynamics of politics and governance in inter-stellar society, is a key channel to transforming our human future. EXOPOLITICS politics' immediate goal seeks a decade of human education and community politics about the extraterrestrial initiative. Part One was released in March 2000; Part Two is scheduled for release in September 2000. Early reviews UniverseBooks' non-fiction eBook serial, are saying: "It is great!!

JAMES J. ANGLETON, AMERICA'S MASTER SPY HUNTER-OR NOT?
 
Bill McDonald writes, in the annals of the CIA's secret history, no man's name stands better known than James Jesus Angleton, the Legendary "Master Spy Hunter" who was as much a "Fundamentalist" institution within the CIA complex at Langley, Virginia, as J. Edgar Hoover was as the Director of the FBI, or Hyman Rickover was as the father of the U.S. Navy's nuclear submarine fleet. Please see link. and, linkfor further information and updates...
