- ARTHUR C. CLARKE STANDS BY HIS BELIEF IN LIFE ON MARS
-
- SMITHSONIAN'S NATIONAL AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM -- Sir Arthur
C. Clarke, probably the world's most famous space author, spoke by phone
from Sri Lanka on June 6, to the Wernher von Braun Memorial Lecture Series.
He told the audience he believes that new images of Mars clearly show the
red planet dotted with patches of vegetation, including trees. He feels
this fact may spark new exploration of Mars. He and director Stanley Kubrick
joined to produce "2001: A Space Odyssey." Clarke claims to have
studied images from Mars taken by the now-orbiting Mars Global Surveyor
on his home computer. Clarke encourges everyone to have a really good look
at these new Mars images," Clarke said. "Something is actually
moving and changing with the seasons that suggests, at the very least vegetation."
There is something akin to Banyan trees in some Mars photos.
-
- Editor's Note: I personally have also studied these images
and agree with Sir Arthur Clarke that there are signs of vegetation evident
in the photos. I had experience in photo interpretation while in the Air
Force and I think the water at the Martian Poles is melting in the spring
and creating some kind of vegetation as it moves towards the equator. The
color and branches appear similar to trees. In addition, there also appear
to be structures, possible earth moving equipment, tunnels, and other indications
of Martian Life. Having traveled to many of our Earth's pyramids, the D&M
Pyramid on Mars is particularly intriguing. The five-sided pyramid reveals
a structure that is contradictory with the surrounding geology. Neither
volcanic nor other geomorphologic processes are likely to create a natural
mechanism for the formation of an equilateral five-sided pyramid. Further
like our own pyramids the structure is situated in a complex surrounded
by other likely structures. The pyramid is only part of the larger Cydonia
complex. The structures have a similarity to the ancient Kingdom of Kush
in Sudan. We can speculate the Cydonia complex may represent some type
of fortifications or religious compound. The corners of the D&M Pyramid
appear to point towards the city at Cydonia and the Mars face. The pyramids
on Earth are known to be structures built by intelligent beings, it seems
logical that intelligence was needed to build or shape the D&M Pyramid.
Additionally, the possibility of a tunnel complex on Mars creates even
more interesting questions. The intricate relationships are so numerous
that I must agree with Sir Arthur Clarke that the highly sophisticated
designs indicates life on Mars.

- NEW JERSEY SIGHTING AND FLYING TRIANGLE
-
- NEWARK -- On April 11, 2001, I was in my backyard on
a beautiful night, when I decided to look up and noticed a bright red object
very high in the sky. At first it started moving very slow towards my direction,
but stopped right above as though it were looking at me. It then started
making left and right turns at forty-five degree angles. One time it stopped
directly above my head as though it were studying me. This all took place
within an hour and a half, and then it took off so fast that my eyes couldn't
keep up with its speed. It was bright red and made a humming sound. I couldn't
tell if it was made of metallic or any other kind of material. I knew it
wasn't an aircraft just by the way it looked. The witness indicated the
sighting stunned him. Thanks to John Schussler Director of MUFON http://www.mufonoc.org/sighting_report.htm

- PENNSYLVANIA UFO AND STRANGE OCCURRENCE
-
- WARREN -- We were returning from the hospital on June
1, 2001, on old Route near 193 when I thought I saw a UFO or something
to the north. I had the feeling we were being followed. I've seen a UFO
come out of an explosion in the sky and a craft go down by the power lines
near the OHIO/PA line. I've seen everything. My father was driving me toward
Brookfield, but I've never felt like I was being followed like this before.
I just thought I was stressed out since on the 7th my husband passed away.
It was really weird. At about 3:00 PM I felt this hand grab my right biceps,
I turned around, and nobody was there. Stress can play tricks on you. I
don't know, was it stress that made me feel the hand? Thanks to June.

- FLORIDA SILVER BALL
-
- TAMPA BAY -- Luann Marek remarks, "I have seen many
UFOs." I lived in upstate New York on a reservoir and I've had many
sightings. My husband and I even saw one go into another dimension. We
thought it was going to hit the tree and us, but it just vanished I realize
a lot of what people are seeing is our military's new/secret equipment
and it makes me proud to be an American. However, there is something else
going on that isn't "normal." Since moving to Florida three years
ago, I saw "green sparks" falling over the golf course where
I live. A month ago in May, my husband called for me to look at a plane
flying southwest with a small silver ball near the right wing. I was afraid
it would cause an accident. This silver ball stayed with the plane until
the sun's reflection made it no longer visible or it disappeared. What's
interesting is that I found an article of someone reporting just such a
ball flying just off the right wing of the plane he was on. His UFO was
tr iangular, from my viewpoint on the ground; mine looked more oblong
or rounded. Thanks to Luann Marek. lmarek@tampabay.rr.com (LMarek)

- ST. LUCIE -- F-18 Crash -- Bland Pugh Florida State Director
writes that Tom Shelton, MUFON Field Investigator of Port St. Lucie reports
that supposedly a F-18 US Navy Fighter flew straight into the ground and
was engulfed by the earth leaving a large crater. Apparently, it was nothing
more than an aircraft crashing. He reports he read articles on a local
radio station website and that was what he reported. If there is anything
else to the crash it will be reported, for now that's all there is to it.

- ILLINOIS CIGAR, SPHERE, AND FLYING TRIANGLES
-
- BOLINGBROOK -- On May 17, 2001, a dark gray sphere hovered
in one place in the sky for a while. At 6:00 PM, as it hovered it kind
of wobbled, then flew up higher in the sky and took off really fast in
the direction of Lake Michigan.
-
- PALATINE -- At 2:17 PM on Saturday, May 19, 2001, two
people saw a cigar shaped metallic object extremely high above the scattered
clouds. The witness reports, "My friend first sited it but we didn't
know what it was." It flew directly over us and gleamed in the sun
as it was moving at a very high speed. The shape was an elongated oval.
From our perspective it looked somewhat like a missile or something that
we could not identify. We watched this object for approximately two or
three minutes.
-
- ALSIP -- I was walking home from my aunts looking at
the stars on May 19,2001, and saw some unusual light in the sky. It looked
like thunder and lightning but there were too many different colors. I've
seen some crazy stuff in the past but nothing like this. After the lights
stopped, a glowing shape just flew off before I could make out the shape.
I believe our government is hiding this from us because they probably think
humans and aliens wont get along. I believe that ever since the Roswell
crash the UFO's today are trying to find that one ship. If the government
is covering up UFOs, I think that mankind should know the truth.
-
- BUFFALO GROVE -- The witness reports that she observed
a Flying Triangle to the north on Wednesday, May 30, 2001. She was standing
on her porch at 10:50 PM, and noticed the UFO with a light display of three
distinct circular shaped lights at the rear. It was a soundless vehicle.
The object flew west and disappeared at a very high speed into the horizon.
The object was flying at a low altitude--less than the planes that are
descending to land at O'Hare Airport. The craft moved northwest at an estimated
height of less than 10,000 feet, at more than ten times the speed of an
average airplane. The witness reports this was her first sighting Thanks

- MINNESOTA UFO
-
- Craig Lang writes that he received an e-mail from Aerielle
Louise, regarding the Minnesota Talk Radio Network. A caller on the Bob
Davis Show - am 1500, at ten minutes to midnight -- reported seeing an
orange UFO in the northwest sky on May 18, 2001. It was sending out shooting
sparks from the bottom of the object. Eventually it split in two and disappeared.
The caller said that he was sure it was not a meteor. It was in sight for
at least long enough to stop his car, get his camera, and shoot some footage.
The witness has it on film and is sending a copy to Bob Davis. Aerielle
Louise writes, "He's a friend of mine and I'm sure that he'd be willing
to share. Thanks to William I. McNeff MUFON Minnesota SD, Aerielle Louise,

-
- Larry Resel, MUFON State Section director for Southeastern
Colorado writes, "My contacts told me of an event near Pumpkin Center
on May 28, 2001, at 5:00 PM, two hours before a huge storm. He is retired
military intelligence, so this makes this more interesting He spotted 4
to 5 black vans, with blacked out windows, and no identifying marks parked
along the side of the highway. He stated, there were 25 men dressed in
blue fatigues, the likes he had never seen As he drove on to the east,
he spotted a very large unmarked white semi-tractor trailer. He thought
this was a communications vehicle. Thanks to Larry Resel lrngresel@centurytel.net

- OKLAHOMA TAKES OFF LIKE ROCKET
-
- SAPULPA -- NUFORC reports, "It was a floating craft
that shot away like a rocket when it departed (unlike an airplane) on May
18,2001" At 10:35 PM, two ships were seen that were gray black in
color with lights around them. The lights flashed in a chaser mode very
different from normal aircraft lights. The objects made a light humming
noise like a back massager. I saw these craft floating over the local grocery
store. They just floated there for about five minutes and shot off like
a rocket. Nothing that I saw came out of or went into the craft, but I
could definitely tell it was not an airplane. Thanks to NUFORC

- OREGON UFO SIGHTING
-
- HILLSBORO --On May 21, 2001, at 9:00 PM as the Sopranos
came on TV, my wife's son said, "Look at that light. oh my God look
at that, THAT IS NOT A PLANE Son said, "Look at that light,Oh my God
look that's not an airplane." At first it looked like a plane south
of Famington Road, but the light suddenly got wider like ten airplane landing
lights side by side It was flashing as bright as an arc welder's torch
and looking like a giant crack in the sky. Then it got small and dim once
again. It faded out and came on again with a dim red light that pulsed
dim then bright. It was moving very slowly towards the original spot, then
it started to glow brighter, and the red light faded. It kept dimming out
and then appearing in another spot and then flashing very brightly like
sparks in an arc weld at maybe 2000 feet. I ran for my video cam and started
to film. The object was a revolving black circle or spot that went around
it and the whole thing started to change colors like a lava lamp of very
bright rainbow colors. Often the lights were almost too bright to look
directly at. This whole color thing lasted for only a few seco nds. I
got my camera and drove to Farmington, and headed west at 206th Street.
I stopped after turning left onto a side road and could see it about 5
miles away blinking red. I stopped to get a better video and it got dim
and then produced a very bright white burst of light that made me gasp
I drove on but couldn't get closer and finally lost it, but we have the
video. Thanks to Peter Davenport NUFORC

- PORTLAND -- Derek Sims writes, "I was just outside
at 2:10 AM on June 7, 2001, and was watching the moon when I saw a blue
light flash across the sky." It was moving east over Portland and
was moving fast. At first I thought it was a meteor, but when I saw it
flash again further east, I thought meteors don't blink like that. This
is my first possible UFO sighting. How exciting. Thanks to Derek Sims trumpetman1970@hotmail.com

- CALIFORNIA BLACK TRIANGLES
-
- William Hamilton wrote: I just returned from the Hi-Desert
of Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree. I stopped in to say hello to an old friend
who lives near Goat Mountain to the East and beyond that is the 29 Palms
Marine Base. My friends say they have seen a flying black triangle that
has a blue glow around it and is hard to see against the night sky. It
can do 90-deg turns, had a helicopter escort, and seems to be coming from
the North Base at Edwards. Orange-amber orbs just like the videotaped Phoenix
Lights have also been seen "flying" around. These are not flares.
That is also true of the orbs in the Phoenix Lights, as I have said repeatedly.
Flares are not round like coins. They are fires and they do flicker and
smoke. Their principal purpose is to illuminate the night. Orbs do not
illuminate. The Flying Triangle sometimes carries orbs and makes an excellent
penetrator since it is very stealthy. Other craft have been seen, but they
are not ours. They look just like the old scout bell ships that used to
be seen out there. I haven't seen one of those since 1957. They are very
distinguishable as they always have three hemispherical pods on the undercarriage.

- SAN FRANCISCO -- Ken reports, I feel the need to report
a strange sighting on May 29, 2001. My dog woke me up at 3:20 AM whining
and he never does that. I got up and let him outside at which time I noticed
an object in the sky. It was not moving when I first saw it, but seemed
fairly bright with a white light. Directly underneath there was intermittent
flashing bright light which seemed to move to different locations underneath.
The object was completely silent but began to move slowly north until it
passed out of sight over a nearby hill. The object was perhaps a quarter
mile away when I first saw it and was relatively low in altitude. I have
never experienced such a thing. I am an Engineer employed here in the Bay
Area and can only assume that what I saw was either an incredible military
technology or truly something beyond our abilities. I hope someone else
noticed. Thanks to Ken KWJ@dolby.com

- INDIA UFO
-
- MUFON Headquarters reports that AMIT V CHHABRIA from
India State Chhattisgarh city Raipur writes, " I got your address
from NASA site and I'm sending you this letter because on June 5, 2001
at 22.38 hours Indian time a strange thing happened. I was with three of
my friends: Sunil Aswani, Abhisar Daftari and Ravi Gill. We were outside
the city limits just enjoying the moon light when suddenly I saw a strange
thing coming from the south. At first, we thought that it must be a star
or asteroid, a plane, a helicopter, or a missile, but it was none of them.
There was no sound and no smoke as would have been the case if it had been
a helicopter or a missile. If it had been a star it would not move as fast
as it was moving. The thing I am talking about may be a UFO as it was at
first coming so close. It was very close to the ground and was shinning
very brightly. It was colored bright yellow and orange. Suddenly it started
to stop and it seemed like it was moving upwards. I t went up and up.
We stayed there for about tem minutes, but no other strange thing happened.
"I thought this should be told to NASA, as this is not a common thing
for us," she said. Thanks to Amit v Chhabria amitchhabria1@usa.net

- KOREA PHOTO HUNTERS CAPTURING UFO IMAGES
-
- Thomas M. Olsen writes that the Korea Herald of June
6, 2001, carried an article about the frequent UFO sightings. On September
4, 1995, a "Load-type" UFO was filmed by a newspaper reporter
in Gyeonggi Province. In February 1998, a saucer-shaped UFO was filmed
in Busan. On April 9, 2001, another TV cameraman captured a rod-shaped
UFO on film. On May 5, 2001, a TV cameraman catches unidentified flying
object on film in Cheong-ju, Chungcheong Province. Whether you believe
in aliens or not, mysterious objects have been seen buzzing the skies of
Korea. A simple Internet search will reveal hundreds of Korean UFO home
pages, but no crashes or abductions. But that doesn't mean you can shelve
your camera. Seo Jong-han has dedicated 20 years to studying, tearing apart,
and occasionally verifying the twenty or so UFO photographs that crop up
every year. Apart from his day job as computer game developer, Seo is a
member of the Korea UFO Research Association (KUFORA), a small gro up
of analysts that subjects each reported sighting in Korea to close, computer-aided
scrutiny. "Korea has a long history of UFO sightings. During the Korean
War, both American and Korean pilots reported encounters with flying saucers.
(snip)
-
- Seo says a UFO can be distinguished from an airplane
or weather balloon by its rapid movement, its ability to turn on a dime
and accelerate almost instantly. This violation of the laws of physics,
he says, is what leads most scientists to view UFOs as a phenomenon rather
than an object of study. Those who manage to get a rapidly moving object
on film should not be disappointed if it doesn't look like a flying saucer.
There are over ten identified classes of UFOs, some believed to be from
different planets. Among the most common UFO types reportedly seen across
the country is the cigar, "load," type, also referred to as the
"mother ship." There's also a "ball" type, triangular
type, "clover with a dome" type, "round with a dome"
type and "half a sphere" model. A Korean Web site, www.ufokorea.net,
lists even more UFOs. Thanks to Thomas M. Olsen By Burke Josslin Staff

bright orange lights appearing up and down the east coast of New South
Wales. Some have been seen coming out from National Park Lands and others
from the Ocean. Others having been reported flying low over peoples farm
houses further west from the coast. It always seems to be very busy during
this time of the year. What's happening in your neck of the woods? Our
organization is extremely busy now, we have just scored a two month UFO
exhibition at a museum, we're pretty excited. It will be running through
December. I don't know if this is the first time a UFO network organization
has had an exhibition of this type. We are going to have guest speakers
on the agenda throughout those months and arrange a Conference at the same

- DEBRIS IN ROSWELL PHOTOS
-
- Niel Morris from the University of Manchester in England
writes that further analysis of the Fort Worth photos taken in 1947 by
James Bond Johnson in General Ramey's office reveal the images are not
similar to the so called faces in a cloud. The Roswell Photo Interpretation
Team (RPIT) encourages you to visit our web sites so we can prove it. The
images also have a 'striking resemblance' to the descriptions of the debris
made by observers. In addition, some of the components we've seen in the
Ft Worth photos are almost exactly the same debris as in the "Alien
Autopsy" film, that also shows debris from an UFO crash site. The
team has looked at the Ft. Worth photos very closely and there is no evidence
that the material on the floor in General Ramey's office is a weather balloon
as claimed by the Army Air Force.
-
- The items shown in the images I've just posted on the
RPIT website are most certainly not part of the remains of a ML307 radar
target device that were often attached to the weather balloons. These are
just a handful of the 'hard' anomalies found to date. Bond Johnson's recounting
of an incident that happened fifty years ago may have various interpretations.
Yes, Bond's story has changed over the years as he himself has researched
the minor part he played in the Roswell story. He recounted his story to
me both by email and in person when we met on his trip to the UK, in all
these instances he was consistent in what he said. In some mitigation,
I must observe that in that very first interview it is quite obvious Bond
is very confused regarding many of the points. A July 9, 1947, news report
has been unearthed by a member of the RPIT team from Canada that supports
Bond's statements.
-
- The report was sourced from a Routers report and gives
a statement from General Roger Ramey read to the Routers reporter by a
Major Kirton FWAAF, Kirton quotes Ramey as saying. "It looks like
a hexagonal object covered with tinfoil or other shining material suspended
from a balloon of about twenty feet in diameter." This portion of
the description is very similar to that given to the FBI Dallas office,
again by Kirton but it's worth noting the foil material is _not_ positively
identified just as "tinfoil." Ramey's quote continues. "It
is possibly a weather balloon flown at the highest altitude but none of
the Army men at this base recognize it as an Army type balloon." The
report then goes on to give Irving Newton's ID of the wreckage as a radar
target. You will note the report again closely tracks the description Kirton
gave to the Dallas FBI and which we find in their teletype to FBI headquarters
timed at 6:12 PM, but we also know that at 5:30 PM, Major Kirton was giving
the Dallas Morning News the full blown "balloon" cover story.
-
- We must then presume that Routers received their report
before this time and speculating, before Ramey received his orders from
McMullen to "get the press off the Army's back" as Colonel DuBose
recalled. There are two very significant points made in the Routers statement
that I have not seen elsewhere and which now support Bond Johnson's later
recounting that Ramey did not know what the debris was, or as he recounted
it to me, Ramey shrugged his shoulders when asked "general, what is
this stuff" and replied along the lines of "dammed if I know."
The two points I refer to are firstly that phrase "tinfoil OR OTHER
SHINING MATERIAL," (my caps) The addition of "other shining material"
implies they were even unable to identify the foil like material as "tinfoil."
Secondly, the clear statement as quoted from Ramey that, "none of
the Army men at this base recognize it as an Army type balloon." We
could not have it spelled out clearer. At some time between the debris
arrival and inspection and the later timed "debunk" statement
to the Dallas Morning News, General Ramey and the rest of the resources
to hand at 8th Air Force Headquarters Fort Worth were _unable_to_identify_the_debris_
brought from Roswell _and_ that this early report supports Bond Johnson's
later testimony of those fragmentary memories he has of the time spent
in General Ramey's office. Even though he _has_ backtracked on his first
statements, it seems that when given time to reflect his later "refreshed"
testimony now has support in the historical record by this statement to
Routers, in all probability given within a short time of his actual visit
to Ramey's office that afternoon of the 8th of July 1947. Thanks to Niel
Morris neil@adm1.ph.man.ac.uk
-
- Editor's Note: The people I talked to at the Disclosure
Project felt that the Roswell crash was an alien craft. They have looked
at it from many different positions from within the government, so I think
RPIT is on the right track. The general feeling is it was probably heel
shaped and made of very lightweight metallic materials. The photos taken
by James Bond Johnson are the best evidence available that something happened
at Roswell. Major Marcel claims he saw alien writing on some of the debris
in General Ramey's office. I think I can also see the alien writing but
decide for yourself. RPIT and Neil Morris have done a great job in analyzing
the debris. http://www.thefortworthphotographs.freeserve.co.uk/images/index.html

- NEW NASA SHUTTLE VIDEO OF UFOs IN SPACE
-
- Jeff Challender has prepared a new tape of various UFOs
that were caught on recent Shuttle video footage. Jeff has over an hour-long
tape of UFOs shot in space. Jeff spends hundreds of hours watching the
shuttle broadcasts from space and is now an expert on NASA missions and
even those onboard the shuttle are unlikely to see what Jeff does. Using
Jeff's directions you will be able to learn the difference between space
junk, ice crystals and real UFOs. One segment has 24 UFOs watching the
shuttle from space. I feel confident we could go into a court of law and
convince any jury, UFOs are moving around our Earth. Send $25 to: Jeff
