- This week there is letter from a lady who claims to be
an alien, and Canada's former defence minister claims UFO's exist, an RB-47's
encounters UFOs and the New Orleans disaster. Sightings were seen in Arizona,
California, Florida, Illinois, Mississippi, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
and Tennessee. Sightings were also reported in Australia, Canada, the Dominican
Republic, and Hungary.

- Is not an alien force already among us?
-
- PRESIDENT REAGAN stated, at the 42nd General Assembly
of the United Nations in Sept. 21, 1987. "In our obsession with antagonisms
of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity.
Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us realize this
common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences would vanish
if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask
you, IS NOT AN ALIEN FORCE ALREADY AMONG US?"
-
- Letter from Alenara
-
 When President Reagan told the
United Nations, "are there not already aliens among us?" Was
he talking about people like Alenara?
-
- Alenara a lady who lives in Sweden writes, "I would
like to tell you that I have arrived, here on Earth and I am an alien incarnation,
and I come from another world. I am sure you are open to contact. There
is much life in the outer space, and some of us come here! Life on earth
has us come here in subtle forms, many of us - alien visitors - work
on improvement for earth and for life here, without ever letting others
know of our presence!
-
- I am however planning to be one of us who change the
world. And do so openly. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Amherana Kha're
(how you spell my name depends on the pronunciation). Some time ago, I
was living on my planet, in my home world. I can show you which star to
look at in the night sky!
-
- My home world is named Telmaar. We have only sent two
individuals from our world to earth. It is I, and another. I know all
of my companion, and will tell you about him, his whereabouts, his life
mission, and we can even locate him if this is desired. I am a scientist.
At home I worked with collecting all known science, the universal truth,
that is, what is true science in spite of any beings interpreting or
perceiving it in their own ways. This information was stored in a kind
of libraries of ours, and I worked there, processing the information.
I was in equivalent of earth years more than 370 years. Our average life
span on that planet is equivalent of 1200 years. Persons of up to a 200
years are considered adolescent by our people, in our world. I am sent
here to work with science.
-
- In 1962, I was in proximity of planet Earth. We could
hear radio broadcasts from earth, in our spaceship. I remember looking
down toward the blue planet earth, wondering when my eyes would once look
up from there below. It would last until 1980 when my suitable incarnation
would be found. I remember the summer of 1982, traveling out of my body,
in Sweden, watching the green birch trees, mountains and forests. October
1982 I was born. My life here has been difficult. At age 5, old enough
to speak, I told people about immortality. One of the first things I ever
said was "I am 300 years old." My family did their best to suppress
these aspects of me. I was always able to remember who I was. I have had
contact with otherworldly (alien) people all this life. They helped me
learn and remember science, and enhanced my telepathic and extrasensory
perception. Today I am able to see all molecules, atoms, electrons, electrical
and magnetic fields, gravity, and more. Facing any object or situation,
I sense all information of it.
-
- A person's health status, his emotions, thoughts and
dreams. I have incredible knowledge in chemistry, physics, and any other
aspect of science, that is not yet known here on earth. It is knowledge
I have with me, from my home world.
-
- I can manifest atoms and soon also larger objects, and
am learning to gain back my abilities and knowledge as I had prior to my
incarnation. On my home world, we do not eat solid foods, our bodies are
manifested in ways that I am learning to now apply to my human being, and
go periods without eating or drinking, gaining incredible health and
bodily rejuvenation. I am an alien manifestation. I am here for you, when
ever you need to have contact. I can let you meet my alien contacts, they
will gladly show you spaceships (UFOs) if we go together. I can heal any
illness or bodily discomfort that you might have. Rejuvenation is here
for you. Any science you ask for, is yours. We are here for you. Much
love, Alenara, and the people of Telmaar
-
-
- Editor's Note: I have interviewed Alenara and found her
to be a remarkable lady. We are skeptical of her claims, but feel
it is only fair to test and learn more about her alien contacts and to
her ability to prove her claims. I'm convinced she believes what she tells
us. I have pointed out to her that remarkable claims require remarkable
proof, and she states she is up to the test..

- Canada's former defence minister claims UFOs exist
-
 TORONTO -- Bill Curry
reports, "Paul Hellyer has been a Liberal and a Conservative, has
run for the leadership of both parties and founded two more, and will
announce this month that he believes UFOs exist." Yes, indeed, the
82-year-old former defence minister in Lester Pearson's government is to
address the Exopolitics Toronto Symposium on UFO Disclosure and Planetary
Directions at U of T's Convocation Hall on September. 25.
-
- "My role is really to say publicly for the first
time that I believe that what we call unidentified flying objects are real,"
he said, ". . . and that people should know more about them and some
of the implications of the fact they exist and that they've been observing
our planet for more than half a century now." "Yesterday, he
said he has never seen a UFO and he had remained unconvinced of their existence
until quite recently. In fact, as defence minister (he is known for unifying
the forces), Mr. Hellyer said, he received reports of UFO sightings but
didn't pay much attention to them.
-
- Lately, however, his reading on the subject and other
evidence has him convinced they do exist. And he says this has policy implications
for governments but will not reveal what he thinks they are. He said he
doesn't want to scoop himself. -- The most important discoveries will
provide answers to questions that we do not yet know how to ask and will
concern objects we have not yet imagined. Thanks to The Globe
and Mail and Jane Taber, and Bill Curry

- RB-47s bombers chase UFO
-
-
-
- Investigator Hank Schuren reports that he has obtained
four (Reconnaissance Bomber) RB-47 reports from Strategic Air Command reporting
UFOs in 1955. On 1 June an eastbound RB-47 experienced radar contact with
an with a bright unknown return on their APG-32 set for 20 minutes and
the warning light flashed intermittently. The RB-47's K- system recorded
what may have been the sweep of another radar nearby. Contact was lost
at 2120 Z. Returning over the same route westbound the crew reported the
ed Slightly East APG-32 again had a contact for thirty minutes duration
at about 8,000 yards. No visual contact was made.
-
- At 0030Z on 4 June, a westbound RB-47 experienced the
electronic and visual contact with an unknown. The RB-47 gun warning light
was flashing and the 5 radar had a contact at 7000 yards. Visual contact
was made with a glistening silver metallic unknown that was seen low and
to the rear and slightly to the right. The configuration of the unknown
was obscured by contrails. The unknown aircraft broke off contact to the
north with an increase in speed. The RB-47 was at 32,000 feet was se flying
at Mach .735. The radar and visual contact were maintained for 9 minutes.
-
- On 7 June at 0050Z, a westbound RB-47 at 35,000 feet
experienced electronic contact with an object 3,500 yards at the same
altitude. The scope return was square and rectangular.
-
- On 8 June at 2044 Z, an eastbound RB-47 flying at 30,000
feet at 450 knots experienced electronic and visual contact with an unknown
aircraft. The K system radar indicated sweep from another radar. Visual
contact indicates aircraft was 5 to 10000 feet higher and 7 miles behind
for twenty minutes. The copilot of the RB-47 states the unknown aircraft
had a fighter configuration. A contrail was observed and a second RB-47
traveling 80 miles behind the first also saw the contrail. Thanks to Hank
Schuren and SAC

- ESTRELLA MOUNTAIN -- This was a great night to take the
camera with me; I caught some really strange patterns from the Estrella
Mountain lights on August 25, 2005, at 9:38 p.m. My girlfriend and I were
coming home from the North valley taking the W 101 Freeway going towards
the I-10 Interstate. We had just passed Peoria Road and we saw three large
bright orange lights in a perfect row with a lonesome fourth one to the
bottom left hand side. The fourth one disappeared after a minute or so
but the three in a row were there and very bright. Thanks to Mike

- Illinois night visitors frightening the family
-
- WESTMONT -- Tonight my next door neighbor came to my
house around 8:30 PM, and told me that she was very upset! She informed
me that last night which was August 24 & 25, 2005, she had been awake
all night by orbs of light floating around in her basement and also her
bedroom. She had been complaining the month before of this same thing,
and her husband even experienced something pulling the covers off him while
in bed!
-
- Last night her daughter also had the feeling that someone
was sitting on her chest about 4 AM, on the 25th! Her daughter finally
ran into her mother's bedroom and told her Mom to move over,
as she wasn't going to continue sleeping in her room! The daughter is
18 years old, and going off to college soon, so she is not a little girl
afraid of the dark! Last week the mother even said she saw what
she calls 'The Green Men.'

- Florida Probable Abduction
-
- MUFON's Mary Zimmer reports, On August 2, 2005, the witness
called, saying that he had just awakened and was very, very thirsty even
after drinking several bottles of water and wanted to tell me about what
happened to him. He said that at 1 PM, he watched about ten minutes of
the news broadcast and had an overwhelming urge to go out into the back
yard. He saw an orange light above the retention pond in back of his yard.
-
- He said, that the object that he saw was the same one
that he saw over the Gulf, but it was straight across, not tilted and about
200 to 300 feet in the air. It was like a straight bar and pointed at the
end, but it may have been a disk. The surface was orange, pulsating, beautiful,
flowing like water. There were three squares, then a space and then three
more squares. It looked so large that he estimated that it could be covered
by "a blanket unfolded". He saw it for about 45 seconds and
then it completely vanished. The night was silent with even the crickets
not making noise. He found it hard to get back inside the house. He made
some noise coming back, but did not awaken the others in his house. He
called me at 3:52 A.M., but "thought it was earlier", about 1:20
A.M.. There was missing time of two hours and forty-two minutes, during
which apparently an abduction took place.
-
- Thomas became very thirsty after this, drinking four
or five 16 oz. bottles of water at once. He later suffered from vomiting,
diarrhea and inability to urinate. None of his neighbors had seen the object.
-
- On August 4, he noticed a slight burning sensation on
his chest and discovered a small red triangle just below the skin. His
doctor didn't know what it was, but didn't think it was anything to worry
about. The doctor did find that his Triglycerides were dangerously high,
410, (normal 40 to 200) and said that he could be at risk for a stroke
or heart attack. The doctor also found that his Electrolytes were extremely
low, and advised him to drink PediaLite and to eat only fruit and vegetables.
-
- The family had gone to Cape Canaveral to see the space
shuttle return. At a lunch with the astronauts, Thomas' niece asked about
drinking Tang. The astronaut said that they no longer drank it, but used
a different formula because they had found that weightlessness caused a
decrease of electrolytes in the human body. This may be significant to
Thomas because his electrolytes were very low after an apparent abduction.
The witness was fearful of a little girl with dark eyes in the doctor's
waiting room, because her eyes made him afraid as did people who wore sun
glasses. Thanks to MM Zimmer and MUFON Case Management System.
-
- A forensic scientific approach should be a key part of
our investigative arsenal in examining abduction cases.

-
- RIDGELAND -- I captured a pretty good picture of a silver,
disc-shaped UFO from an interstate overpass bridge on Wednesday, August
17, 2005 at 10:15 a.m... It held a steady position and hovered there for
about one or maybe two minutes on a clear and sunny morning. It took off
at the speed of sound, without making a sound. Even though I was alone
at the time of the sighting, it is quite possible that others in traffic
also saw it. Later in the day I spoke with someone else that also saw this
UFO, but from a different location, and their description of the UFO, the
time of the sighting, and its activity is exactly the same as what I witnessed.

- FARMINGDALE -- It was Sunday, August 28, 2005, at 7:40
PM a family was in the back yard The son was talking to his girlfriend
and states, "I looked up and saw what looked to be a star, the sky
was still bright and no other stars were out. An aircraft at 34,000 feet
passed overhead heading north leaving a trail behind it. The object was
in back of the trail. I have video. The UFO stayed in one spot. What was
odd is that when the aircraft passed by leaving it's contrail it broke
where the UFO was. However, the rest of the contrail was still there. Our
neighbors also saw this. We used binoculars and a telescope to get a better
look. It was a bright different type of white light coming from this object.
Then my neighbor spotted another one to the left of the first one we saw.
They were both moving extremely slow heading west and stayed in formation
until we lost sight. It took thirty minutes for both UFO's to get to the
horizon. Thanks to Peter Davenport.

- AKRON Amy reports, "I captured UFO video footage
and sent it to an investigator, but his VCR is broken so he still hasn't
seen the video. My camcorder stinks and won't download onto a computer
so the best I can do is a VHS tape. The object moves so quick that you
can hardly see it. I had a guy at the photography shop slow it down
and put it on a tape. Even in slow motion, it's so fast
you can hardly see it, pretty cool. I kept seeing these rainbow spots
then these military jets would show up so I started taking pictures, that's
how I discovered the UFOs. I never saw any of them when the photos or videos
were taken. I would be happy to mail you a copy of the video if you can
send me your address, or if you talk to BJ, maybe he would send you his
copy. Thanks to Amy

- Pennsylvania-UFO and Bigfoot Activity
-
- Researcher Stan Gordon reports, UFO sightings and other
anomalies continue to be reported during 2005 from across the Keystone
state. The PA Bigfoot Society (PBS) has also been investigating some possible
Bigfoot encounters. Some of the recent UFO sightings are indeed misidentifications
of bright planets and stars.
-
-
- WESTMORELAND COUNTY -- I received a report from a witness
who reported seeing a Bigfoot like creature on January 2, 2005, at a rural
location along the Chestnut Ridge about 6:30 PM. It was almost dark as
the witness was loading up his vehicle and heard a loud crashing sound
across the road , and the noise of brush breaking. The man crossed the
roadway and looked and about 125 feet distance, was a very large man-like
figure moving through the field. He was able to get a good look at the
creature which he estimated stood between 7 1/2 and 9 feet tall, was dark
brown or black in color, entirely covered in hair, and walking erect on
two legs. The witness could see that it had massive arms which hung down
to his knees, and swung gracefully as it walked up the hill. The head of
the creature seemed to be cone-shaped and no neck was observed. The witness
indicated that as the creature continued on it's path at one point it seemed
to look towards him, but never changed it's pace. What impressed the witness
was how fast the creature was moving up hill in the nearly dark conditions.
The creature was covering a large amount of ground in a short time. When
the creature reached the horizon, the witness could see the shape of the
creature clearly for 90 seconds as it moved into the tree line and was
lost from sight. The witness is an avid sportsman who had never experienced
anything like this.
-
-
- SMITHFIELD -- Jim Brown interviewed the witness who had
a UFO sighting about sundown in early April 2005. He noticed a brilliant
light move from a pond 300 feet away and up over some trees and cross the
road ahead. The object was very bright, and was giving off light as it
moved out of sight. Ten seconds later another similar light appeared, and
followed the same path as the first. Minutes later, the man saw both lights
fly back from the woods , and diving down towards the pond. Five minutes
later, the two lights flew by again. It was getting dark
when just then one light came from out of the woods started over the road
and stopped over the road like it saw me standing there. It hovered a second,
then the other one came out of the woods and joined it. Almost as soon
as the second one got there, both of them flew off much faster than they
had moved before. The football shaped glowing white objects flew under
the railroad bridge. He estimated that the objects were moving at about
45 miles per hour and 100 feet above the ground.
-
-
- GREENSBURG -- The witness was walking with his dog when
at about 10:30 PM, he reported seeing an unusual object in the western
sky. It was a moonlit night and the object was shaped like a top and could
easily be seen as it was backlit from the light of the moon. He first heard a
low pitched humming sound, not typical of an aircraft. The witness continued
to watch, and saw three red lights in the center part of the
object. These lights which blinked in sequence, extended vertically from
top to bottom. There were two steady green lights on the right and
left side of the object.
-
- Also visible were a series of dim white or opaque lights
that looked almost like windows with a candle in them across the object.
The object was observed for about 1.5 minutes as it moved slowly towards
the south. The object seemed to be hovering over the area. The sound of
the object became louder as it approached closer to the location of the
witness. The dog suddenly began to bark and was looking in another direction.
He observed a second object that was moving extremely fast
south. The two objects appeared to intersect with the other object
at nearly a 90 degree angle, at a far off point in the sky.
-
-
- VANDERGRIFT -- On August 24, 2005, at 5:20 AM,. the witness
was loading up his vehicle and saw a strange object moving from
the northwest and turning towards the east. The object appeared to be silver
in color, and was described by the witness as looking, "a little flatter
than a football shape with a bump on top." His attention
was drawn to a large second object probably an aircraft coming from Pittsburgh. This
object which also was silent, appeared triangular in shape and looked like
a stealth aircraft, with a pointed front section, and a flat bottom.
-
- This craft also displayed two yellow lights, and a red
blinking light on the rear section. The craft appeared to slow down as
though to match the speed of the first object which was still crossing
the sky. The football shaped object continued moving towards the east.
The triangular craft suddenly picked up speed and chased the first object
across the hill until they were gone from sight. The witness was very excited
and called my UFO hotline just after the observation. Thanks to Stan
Gordon www.stangordon.com UFO Hotline: 724-838-7768

for his wife and myself to come outside "quick!". What appeared
to be a shooting star was streaming by horizontally with two changes in
direction on August 11, 2005, before it resumed a horizontal path. We easily
ruled out a plane because its altitude was higher than any plane we ever
witnessed. It did not appear to be a shooting star but was similar to a
star in appearance with a soft, light blue coloring. We stood there for
about 2-3 minutes until its distances made it hard to see. Thanks to Brian
Vike.

- PENTICTON, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- HBCC UFO Research Note:
As you will read in this report, there were others who witnessed the same

to contact me with their report. Thanks to Brian Vike.

- NANAIMO, BRITISH COLUMBIA The witnesses were northbound
on Island Highway on August 28, 2005, at about 8:45 PM when they witnessed
a very bright light coming towards them just to the east and traveling
in a southerly direction. The witness states, "I saw it first and
thought it was a meteorite and I drew my husband's attention to the object
that did not have a tail. It appeared to be traveling extremely quickly,
much faster than an airplane and in a straight line when all of a sudden
it veered slightly east and upwards at an angle and disappeared into the
clouds. It was almost dark but not quite. We pulled the car quickly over
to the side of the highway and stared out the window expecting the object
to appear through the cloud cover on the other side but it just disappeared.
Thanks Brian Vike.

- SCARBOROUGH, ONTARIO -- A white long hooked shaped
object was seen on August 26, 2005 while I was at my parent's
house at between 2:00-2:30 PM. Viewing south of my position, it's altitude
would be 2-3000 feet +. I could see the fluffy seeds flying with the wind
at a lower altitude,1000 feet less. This long white hooked shaped object
remained stationary for about 30 seconds. Then amazing, when it made
its departure, it suddenly straightened out long in length, "horizontally
straight". Then in a blink of the eye, it shot across directly
west towards Toronto. The straitening act and speed departure did overwhelm
me. This thing could bend, and stay stationary for my viewing. You do curse
yourself, not having your camera at moments like this.

- Dominican Republic black UFO
-
- INEXPLICATA -The Journal of Hispanic Ufology- At 12:50
PM, on August 29, 2005, the witness saw a completely black UFO at an altitude
of between 1000 and 3000 meters. The witness states, I say this because
the object flew between a low rain cloud and medium altitude white cloud.
We know that rain clouds are usually at an altitude of between 1500 to
2500 meters, with the lowest ones at 1000 meters and the higher ones between
2500-3000 meters.
-
- The object was traveling east and its shape was something
like the alleged "flying humanoids" seen in Mexico over recent
months. I cannot relate it to any other object, such as balloons, birds,
airplanes, etc. on account of its very strange shape. Unfortunately
I did not have time to get a photograph, as the sighting lasted only some
40 seconds and I did not have a camera at hand. The object was flying
in an even, single-row movement, except for a moment in which it made a
maneuver resembling a soft curve, which I estimate at some 5-10 degrees.

- RACIAL ATROCITIES: FOREIGN MEDIA REPORTS WHAT U.S. MEDIA
CONCEALS!
-
-
- From News of the World (Britain)... Girls went
through "a living hell" as mob rule swept the Superdome. White
tourists were targeted, says British student "SURVIVING Hurricane
Katrina was the easy bit." "We saw bodies coming into from the
dome from the city. One person had six or seven stab wounds." - Eyewitness
account. "I saw the body of a soldier. The mob had shot him with his
own gun." - Eyewitness account Brit newspaper calls Superdome "Horrordome."
-
-
-
-
- The news media moves into the disaster areas taking video
and photographs of all the misery freely criticizing the government for
not responding more quickly. Yet, they are first on the scene with personnel
and equipment watching people die and often refusing to give any help.
It seems these billion dollar news industries should also have some compassion
and ability to help those, if they choose to go into the eye of the storm.
One Fox reporter was shown telling how he was seeing babies dying because
of lack of water. Yet, he seemed to have plenty.
-
- Just after the Hurricane passed near by several broadcasters
standing in the middle of New Orleans were telling how once again the city
had avoided major damage. It was only a day later when the 17th Street
Canal levee broke flooding 80 percent of the city. Shea Penland, director
of the Pontchartrain Institute for Environmental Studies at the University
of New Orleans, was surprised that the break in the levee was in a "a
section that was just upgraded." "It did not have an earthen
levee. It had a vertical concrete wall several feet thick."
-
- My question is why could not city employees with bulldozers
and earth moving equipment plug the hundred yards of the break. If a city
owns some 350 miles of levees it seems logical that the city would own
earth moving equipment and trucks to plug the leak? Several hundred city
police officers out of 1400 apparently deserted or resigned.

- Each of us should realize that the weather may become
dangerous and that we need to plan ahead and have emergency supplies.
Probably most important is water and any needed medical supplies. Most
people can live three or four days without food but only a couple days
without water. In many emergencies plenty of water is available but needs
purification. Cheap purification tablets can purify your water until help
comes. Also consider having tools, a mirror and a flashlights for signaling.
