- U.S. Army M.P. (Military Policeman)
Speaks On UFOs
-
- HBCC UFO Research Note: I was granted
permission to post this letter, and leave in any names.
-
- Message: I spent 12 years in the U.S.
Army. From 1973 to 1976 as an M.P. (Military Policeman) working undercover
for the D.S.T. (Drug Suppression Team) - C.I.D. (Criminal Investigation
Division) in Germany. Basically, I traveled throughout Germany, wearing
civilian clothes and pretending I was a former soldier that now resided
in Germany dealing narcotics. My codenames were Porkchops or Frisco,
depending on what part of Germany I was at.
-
- I went after what was known as the "Khaki
Mafia" that originated in Vietnam. The perpetrators recognized
me, because I was known to wear a black trench coat, sunglasses, dark clothes
and at the time I was sporting a beard and mustache. But, before
this excitement took place I was in Ft. Jackson, South Carolina in 1974
on a training exercise. One night, two other soldiers and I were
in Columbia, South Carolina checking out the sights and we looked in the
sky and saw 6 glowing blue discs in formation. As we watched the
UFOs dispersed in erratically zig zagging movements and disappeared quickly.
The first thing that came out of one soldier's mouth was 'geese?'
We looked at him and said 'no way!'. That was my first time experiencing
a UFO encounter and it stayed with me for a long, long time.
-
- In September 1976, I had another UFO
encounter. This time I was out of the Army and living with my former
girlfriend Helen Lang in an apartment. One night, she came running
back inside the apartment screaming. I asked her what was wrong.
She said that a UFO was hovering 200 feet above her head. I didn't
see anything. I noticed she was hysterically crying. I drove
her to the Sacramento Sheriff's Department and they had her use their phone
to call an 800 number to call Dr. Allen Hynek of the Chicago, Illinois
Bureau of UFO Investigations. Dr. Hynek sent us some forms to fill
out, so she could describe what she saw. Dr. Hynek later called me
and asked what I was doing. I told him I was watching "Dick
Van Dyke's The Comic" on TV. He asked what happened when Helen
was screaming outside, I said the TV went on the blink, it displayed static
and I was trying to fix the TV, when I heard her screaming. He told
me that when UFOs hover nearby, that they cause disturbances on car engines,
TVs and radios. This was a normal occurrence. Later I learned
that 2 other people in Sacramento saw the same UFO in two different locations
and it was reported in the Sacramento Bee.
-
- >From 1979 to 1986 I was back in the
U.S. Army. This time I joined Military Intelligence and I was stationed
at PIC-K (Photo Interpretation Center - Korea). This time my code
name was "Hollywood or Joe Hollywood", I wore a black suit now
and I was clean-cut. I kept the sunglasses though. My
job as a 97 Bravo (Intelligence Analyst) was to work with Image Interpreters
in identifying targets in North Korea and Red China, such as T-72 tanks,
etc. I would create what is called a "sitmap" pinpointing
targets discovered by Image Interpreters, that studied reconnaissance aerial
photographs. I would categorize certain photos. We would go
on what is called a 'hot run' from Seoul, Korea (Yongsan Barracks) to Osan
Air Force Base. The vehicle would display a placard that indicated
that the vehicle could not be stopped for any reason. There was a
combination lock on the trunk of the vehicle and a combination lock in
the suitcase inside the trunk, the driver and myself would have
of the combination to open the trunk and the suitcase. We would place
the hotrolls (film) into the suitcase and head back to Seoul. During
my time as an Intelligence Analyst I categorized 6 photos taken by reconnaissance
satellites of what appeared to be UFOs.
-
- The UFOs moved on their own accord, as
if they were guided by some kind of intelligence. Therefore the 6
photos were significant by Military Intelligence. The photos moved
up the intelligence chain from Military Intelligence to DIA (Defense Intelligence
Agency) to CIA (Central Intelligence Agency). From there, I don't
know where the photos went. While at PIC-K, I worked with Air Force
Intelligence, Navy Intelligence, DIA, CIA, Marine Recon, US Army (Green
Beret) Special Forces, 101st Airborne, US Army Rangers, 82nd Airborne,
Delta Force, Navy Seals. It was necessary for us to work closely
with certain elite military groups. Another strange photo I
once saw was given to me to categorize. It was a photo of an American
POW in Vietnam, taken in 1981. The photo went into a metallic box
with a combination lock and disappeared up the intelligence channel.
The spooks (intelligence personnel) I worked with, would never discuss
UFOs. Most spooks belonged to some sort of secret society, most were
Freemasons and I was a Rosicrucian. When I departed Korea, I signed
up for the 82nd "Screaming Eagles" Airborne and Special Forces
training and they were ready to send me to Ft. Gordon, Georgia and Ft.
Bragg, North Carolina and I was called to do a special assignment.
-
- I received an H identifier and became
an Army instructor and taught the Soviet Threat for OPFOR (Opposing Forces).
I wore a Russian uniform, ski mask, black gloves and talked with a fake
Russian accent and called myself "Corporal Dowbowski".
I would instruct the Soviet Threat, teaching the W.E.F.T. (Wings, Engine,
Fuselage and Tail) on Soviet Aircraft, kill zones on Soviet aircraft and
land roaming vehicles, the use of many Soviet weapons from the AK-47 to
the SVD Sniper Rifle in which I was proficient in. During my time
with OPFOR, I learned from Intelligence circles, that the Russian KGB also
knew and were aware of what exactly UFOs were and where they came from.
-
- To this day, I don't know the answers
to the UFO mystery, but hopefully one day our Government will disclose
what they know to the public.
-
- Brian, you have full permission to publish
my report. Those were many years ago and Helen Lang's UFO claim was
fully published in the Sacramento Bee, there is nothing new there that
wasn't published back in '76.
-
- I still work for the government...but,
where I work now is what I wouldn't want to disclose. You can disclose
my previous work with the government, I have no qualms about it and most
people are aware of my previous background. You can publish the article
in its entirety.
-
- Thank you to the person for relating
the story to me.

- Birch Bay, Washington Three Lights Traveling
Together
-
- Date: March 1997
- Time: 11:00 p.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 1 ?
- Shape of objects: 3 lights
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: I
was star watching and satellite watching about 11:00 pm. While scanning
the sky, near the constellation Cassiopeia to the west, 3 lights began
moving west to east. They were very high and were about the same intensity
as the satellites seen at night. They were moving slightly slower. The
3 lights stayed in the same position relative to each other. They suddenly
disappeared when they neared the constellation Big Dipper. I called
NASA the following day and they said 3 satellites would never move together
through the sky like that. I believe the area between the lights blocked
out stars behind but it was very hard to see. That same month many others
around the world reported a triangular light object.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Midlothian, U.K. A Box Shaped UFO
-
- Date: November 5, 1999
- Time: 6.45 p.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: 4
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Box
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: On
5 November 1999 I was walking over to park with my daughter when we saw
lights going round above our heads, these lights followed us over to Bonfire
then disappeared. Anyway we came back home I got a phone call from a friend
to say his wife had been followed by these lights I asked if lights where
still there. He looked outside and said they where gone. I then looked
outside and could see them so I started to film them and could
only make them out when I went over the tape. Then this box UFO came into
view on the tape and it was moving very fast, like into view
and out.
-
- So the only way I could get a good look
at this object was to put it on video then film it frame by frame from
my television set. The box UFO comes in to view from right then moves down
then moves off very fast. Going put this on site for you to view. http://lsufos.com

- Vancouver - Burnaby, B.C. 25 Witnesses
Observed A Black Oval Shaped Object
-
- Date: Summer 2003
- Time: 3:00 p.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: 25
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Oval
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: We
were driving west in the afternoon into Vancouver on the #1 freeway. And
in a clear sky overhead and to the south was a black object in the
oval shape of a rugby ball! It was not moving and stayed exactly where
it was as we approached. It seemed to be about 2000 feet above the ground
near our Central Park and about the size of a 747.
-
- Many people pulled off the highway to
look at it, including 2 policemen. It did not move at all and was not a
balloon or kite.
- In retrospect, the oval shape could
have been a circle shape as viewed from an angle. It seemed like the opening
of a round pipe.
-
- We rushed home expecting to hear breaking
news but nothing was said about it. I can see the area from my apartment
and looked with binoculars after getting home but saw nothing and wondered
if my angle of view now was parallel with the shape so it would be a straight
line if in fact it was a flat opening of some kind like a disk? I would
love to hear what it could have been.
-
- Additional Information:
-
- Brian, thanks for your reply. Please
be clear about the included picture; that I used Photoshop to duplicate
as close as I could to show what I saw. My wife saw it as well, and
it seemed like it was in the area west of Central Park, south of Kingsway.
And could have been about 1000 to 2000 feet up.
-
- Our viewing angle was from the #1 freeway.
We noticed it somewhere east of Willingdon Ave. interchange. It never appeared
to be hovering, or moving at all or affected by wind or anything. It was
definitely NOT a balloon or kite. Just solidly stationary in the sky. As
if it was a flat plane of black disk, not even an edge to it. Nor
did there appear to be any structure or shape to it other than the solid
black disk. No light reflected off anything.
-
- As we got just past the Willingdon exit,
the traffic slowed down and we pulled to the side of the road as others
did. There were even two RCMP officers stopped on a side road, (on what
I think might be called Clydesdale St. which leads onto Grandview Hwy at
Boundary Rd) they were out of their police car looking up at it too. Other
traffic had slowed. I passed by and went home, listening to the radio for
reports, but there were none. I even expected the 6 PM news to have video.
When I got home, I live in a high rise in Vancouver and could see in that
direction east, Central Park is directly in my eastern view, I got out
my binoculars but could see nothing. I accounted that to the fact that
I thought it was a flat object, and from my new view, it would only be
a line in the sky if it was still there at all.. The thought did come to
mind that it could have been a circular shape, if viewed directly from
below, however I never went closer to find that out.
-
- When I told some others about it, someone
suggested it could have been a "black hole". I DO know what a
real black hole is, but that was an apt description of what it appeared
like. As if a pipe was there for some reason, and we could only see the
hole in the pipe, but not the pipe itself.
-
- I wonder if you'd get any interest from
the RCMP office near the Gagliardy Way?Caribou Rd exit? I just discovered
your website recently so can't exactly recall the month I saw it, and it
could have even been 2002. Of course most people just smirk when you
tell them and ask if I'm a 'trekkie' too, but it was a phenomenal and unforgettable
sight. It would be most interesting to find others who saw
it too.

- Spring Valley, Las Vegas, Nevada 30 Daylight
Type Stars (UFOs)
-
- Date: December 29, (?) 2005
- Time: 8:30 a.m.
-
- Number of witnesses: 2
- Number of objects: 30
- Shape of objects: Daylight stars.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: There
were two hot air balloons up in the sky south of Las Vegas. I went
for the binoculars and that's when I saw what looked like white balloons
high over the hot air balloons. My husband and I watched these objects
move towards us and arch back to the south. We watched them for at
least 30 minutes as they moved from sw to se, like a wagon train
of UFOs. Sometimes they would be in triangle formation. This
was a magnificent experience to watch.

- Abbotsford, British Columbia Green Flare
Like Object
-
- Date: April 16, 2006
- Time: 8:00 p.m.
-
- Message: I live in Abbotsford near highway
#1. I saw a green flare like object in the sky on the evening around...April
16, 2006 or so. I was in my room, which faces south, and all of a sudden
I notice what looks like a green flare. The curious thing about this flare
was unlike most flares that go up and down, this one was traveling west
and slightly down. This happened in the evening, perhaps 8:00 p.m.. It
looked like it was traveling along highway #1, but it could have been further
south. I thought it might be a meteorite except for its green color.
It did look like it had a trail on it. In my opinion, it traveled too fast
and too far to be a flare. I even called the police department and reported
what I had seen. I asked if they had any other calls about this and they
said they had not. After reading some of your articles on Rense.com, I
decided to write you this message.
-
- Have you received any reports of this?
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Hwy 100, near Lyerly, Georgia Possible
Missing Time ?
-
- Date: April 22, 2006
- Time: Between 9:00 pm and
midnight.
-
- Number of witnesses: 1
- Number of objects: 1
- Shape of objects: Triangle.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: Today
I read a UFO report about a sighting in Kelowna, B.C. http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=8664
and an aspect of it reminded me of an experience I had last weekend coming
home from a movie, the part about eyes in the darkness.
-
- Before I recount this, I would like to
refer to an event where my brother witnessed a triangle-shaped craft over
my mother's house, my home in the following report, a year or two ago.
I was not present and was not aware of this website at the time, so I didn't
report the incident. My mother, practically-minded to a fault, has also
witnessed a craft hovering over the road in broad daylight that she refers
to as a 'stealth bomber'. Seeing as there are no military bases around
here for the Army or AF to be conducting maneuvers in residential areas,
and I'm not sure stereotypical stealth aircraft are even VTOL, I'm not
sure what to make of her claims.
-
- I had biked to Rome, GA to see a movie
on Saturday, and when I came out of the theatre it was around 9:00 PM and
dark outside. I had a long bike ride home in complete darkness ahead of
me, most unintentionally, I can assure you. I set off down Alabama Highway
and when I was halfway to the turnoff for Highway 100, I looked to my right,
out in the woods, and the beam from the tiny Army flashlight on my ballcap's
brim illuminated three pairs of eyes about 70 yards from the roadside,
gazing at me without blinking for several minutes. I've lived out in this
countryside all of my life and I have taken lots of walks at night, and
I've never seen anything like this in my life. I hopped on the bike, having
been walking alongside it to rest, and took off in terror.
-
- I had been on 100 for a few minutes when
I looked out into the woods and saw the same three pairs of eyes again,
and they watched me without blinking for at least 10-15 minutes. Whatever
they were, they could move fast enough to beat me there on foot. How fast,
I wouldn't see for myself until I'd made it halfway home down 100 after
peddling away in fear again. They actually approached the road as I left,
staying enough out of the range of my LED light to only show as eyes.
-
- I was coasting down a hill and approaching
a curve when I looked to my right again and saw a pair of eyes matching
speed with me about 20-30 yards away, moving through the thick forest in
a smooth, sailing way--no wobble or vertical movement normally associated
with speed and foot travel, especially when something has to account for
fallen trees and thick undergrowth. It then overtook me and crossed the
road at the curve ahead of me, moving from a ten-foot roadside drop-off
to the road and into the woods on the other side at a 4 foot height, again
with that smooth sailing movement, staying enough out of my light to only
appear as a pair of eyes. I was coasting at least what I'd say as 35-40
mph, peddling down a hill.
-
- Soon after that, my mother drove by and
picked me up, upset that I was out so late. I looked at the car clock and
realized that it was 1:00 AM. I'd had no way to know what time it was,
as I'd had no watch, but how could I have taken that long to get that far?
I'd left home earlier that day just after 2:30 PM and arrived at the theatre
just after 4:30 PM, a scant bit too late for the matinee. I did the math
and deduced that I must have lost time somewhere on the way home.
-
- So I don't know if this qualifies as
a bonafide sighting or experience, but I thought it rated high enough on
the WTF scale to recount to someone willing to listen. My mother and brother's
experiences, at least, seem like the kind of thing appropriate for a report.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Terrace, British Columbia Looked Like A
Welding Spark It Was So Bright
-
- Date: April 24 , 2006
- Time: 7:32 p.m.
-
- Location of Sighting: Terrace Arena parking
lot above building.
- Number of witnesses: 2
- Number of objects: 2
- Shape of objects: Very bright light.
-
- Full Description of event/sighting: April
24, 2006 at 7:32 pm my wife and I were eating ice cream in the parking
lot watching people go in and out of the arena, looked to be lacrosse.
About ten minutes later I was looking out the side window and see a bright
light and said "look" and pointed out the window. We both seen
the lights above the building. It looked like flares or a welding spark,
very bright. One large one and a smaller one underneath. I jumped out of
the truck and said did you see that, she said "yes" ! Kind of
spooky. Never seen any thing like this before in my life, probably never
again.

- Moricetown, British Columbia UFO Just
Vanishes Before Witnesses Eyes
-
- Date: April 24, 2006
- Time: Evening
-
- I was over in town today, (Friday April
28, 2006) checking on the postal mail, plus grabbing some cash from
the banking machine. I was talking to one of the ladies who works at the
Royal Bank in Houston, B.C. She asked if I was keeping busy with the
UFO business. I told her I was, and she went on to tell me about a sighting
that took place in Moricetown, British Columbia which is just west of my
location. The lady said she heard it on the Smithers radio station. So
when I arrived back home I called the station in hopes of gathering some
information on the sighting.
-
- I left a message with Smithers Radio and
a fellow from the station called back and he gave me a little detail on
what was reported to them. Also while I was on the line I did an interview
as well.
-
- On April 24, 2006 in the Moricetown,
British Columbia a bunch of people were out playing baseball when they
spotted, what resembled to look like a fighter jet, but with neon
lights all over it. The sky was clear and all of a sudden the object just
completely disappeared. The direction the object was taking, was from west
to east.
-
- So I will be contacting the witnesses
who did observe this as I now have their contact information.
-
- My many thanks to the folks at the Smithers
Radio station.

- Chatsworth, California
- An Aircraft And Two Objects
-
- Date: April 26, 2006
- Time: Approx: 7:50 p.m.
-
- Brian, Here we go. I just wrote
you a couple of hours ago, about going out, when the dark clouds clear
up, and try to get, some of these things on my camera. Well, I decided
to shot some pictures of the gray ominous clouds anyway. I caught
an airplane flying in the East and took a couple of pictures. When
I checked my screen, Guess what? I caught a beautiful picture of
the plane, and 2 objects. One is behind the plane, and the other
one is a little above and in front of it. The object in front is
a solid object for sure. I just got this digital camera, so I have
to learn how to email you these pictures. I'm wondering if they let
me get them. I'm very excited.

- Vernon, British Columbia Another Orb
Type Object
-
- Date: April 26, 2006
- Time: 12:30 a.m.
-
- Hi Brian, This is something I have not
seen before. The night was black, with some light cloud cover obscuring
all but the brightest stars. I watched an orb type object heading
north and it dimmed to an amber color, not the white star. In
the north west sky. It slowed and began to flash. I counted 17 times that
it lit up to a bright white light as it appeared to rise in altitude.
- I have not seen any more than five flashes
at a time before and this occurred while the objects were moving across
the sky. I have also watched the objects stop and light up, but usually
only one lingering flash. This time it stayed in the same area, and lit
up 17 times and it was really bright because the sky was so black. The
light was on then off in quick succession.
- Take care.
-
- Thank you to the witness for the report.

- Modesto, California Interesting Objects
Filmed
-
- Date: April 26, 2006
- Time: 2:00pm and 2:20pm.
-
- Good day Brian, I had a very interesting
day while I was over at a friends house in Modesto, California. We had
just finished doing yard work in the backyard, and my friend had to run
some errands and asked me to stick around for dinner. It would be more
than a few hours before I needed to head up to the Sierra foothills for
a meeting with an associate and so decided to stick around.
-
- While I was enjoying the beautiful California
day I noticed these little 'sparkles' or 'bright sprites' showing up in
the eastern direction. I thought that there were too many of these to be
an isolated aircraft as they appeared to jump from one area to another
by random and wide distance margins. Since I travel no where without at
least one camera, I ran to the car to grab it.
-
- Within a short time I had my 6 megapixel
Fuji digital SLR set up and started taking pictures in the general area
where I kept seeing these bright reflections or flashes. I had finished
taking about 800 shots and decided to transfer and load them into my laptop
for a closer inspection, hoping that perhaps I got lucky and caught one
of these 'things'. Of course there were your normal bugs and birds and
other known airborne particulates that got captured too. But there
were three or four shots that definitely didn't seem to fall into any of
the known categories. I pulled up a small program that allows you
to zoom in on photos that brings out greater detail and I was surprised
at what I saw. Staring in my face was what appeared to be a
- semi-shiny spheroid (or orb) shaped object.
-
- I was feeling pretty good about my 'captures'
and went back outside to retrieve my camera and tripod, (this was about
an hour later). I had just grabbed the tripod and started to walk back
when I noticed a huge reflection in the North by Northwest skies. Well
I thought to myself, I'm here with the camera and tripod in my hand so
what the hell lets take a few more shots!. I had the camera in burst mode
so was able to fire off five shots instantly and then came back inside
to see if I'd gotten lucky again.
-
- The very first shot nearly made me fall
out of my chair. It seem to have many of the characteristics of a classic
disc. I quickly opened up the small photo program to zoom in on the object
and was surprised to see what appears to be a cupola on the top of this
object. There also appears to be a few of the orb or spheroid shaped
objects flying nearby which I found very
- interesting. It also made me wonder if
the number of reflective flashes that I had seen earlier in the East were
perhaps associated with this discoid shaped craft. One of my associates
likes to call the spheres "Spyroids" and this made me think,
what if the disc shaped craft was releasing these objects (for recon or
other) and then recovers them back for the information gathered by them.
-
- I am not saying that I captured anything
spectacular as these photos have still not been looked at by my usual contacts
that I send these to for further analysis. But my fellow skywatchers that
I keep in contact with thought that they were pretty interesting shots
and suggested that I post them for you and your readers to take a gander
at. So I've included two original shots (albeit they've been cropped to
keep the email size down), and then a few zoomed cropped and slightly filter-enhanced
versions.
-
- These photos (and others that were shot)
should be considered to be still in the earliest of any preliminary analysis.
We will update you as more information is received.
-
-
- April 26th, 2006
-
- First shot that includes the orb/spheroid
shaped object was captured between 2:00pm and 2:20pm. It was shot facing
the east at full 12x zoom with a Fuji S602 digital camera.
-
- No air traffic was observed during the
shooting.
- Wind was a mild 3-5 mph from the South.
- Distance to the object(s) is unknown
but is generally considered to be quite
- a distance from the cameraperson.
-
- Second shot of a discoid type looking
craft was captured about 3:20pm. It was shot facing the North by Northwest
at a Full 12x zoom with the same camera as above.
