TNT TELEVISION PROGRAM: THE SECRET KGB UFO FILES
 
Alex Hefmann writes, "I was a long time skeptic of UFOs. Now I am converted after the TNT television program. (The three Soviet researchers doing the alleged autopsy of the extra terrestrial died within a few days.) I am originally from Russia and know how 60's Soviet documents look like. I did not find any faults with the documents that were shown frame by frame on TV. They looked very authentic. Deputy Minister of Soviet PVO would NEVER sign any such document (like "Operation Sverdlovky Karlik") without a VERY SERIOUS REASON!. Death certificates of the 3 researchers (Kamyshov, Savitsky, Gordeenko) are VERY impressive! With 3 people dead -- this is not a joke) All footage looks GENUINE (I served in the Soviet army plus I know how medical stuff looked like in those years). It is almost impossible to cook the tapes together with all corresponded documents! It would cost too much money. One of the people on the tape during autopsy was called "Pavel" and there is a Pavel Gordeenko who signed the report, and the same name is on the death certificate. I am not sure which institute was used for report. Semashko and "Anatomy department" are the only the names readable. However, there was the "3rd Medical Stomatology Institute imeni Semashko" with an Anatomy department. This is the only body in Moscow with the name Semashko. It was signed "in presence of Deputy Decan" Tolmakov. I'm now checking now, about existence of these people. Thanks to Alex Hefman, New York

NICEVILLE: Tig reports that, "My friend and I spotted an unexplainable object on the out-skirts of town on September 12, 1998, at 11:00PM. It was a hundred yards above the ground and the size of an C-130 Hercules, but Triangular in shape. Living in a military town, (Eglin Air Force Base), for twelve years we have seen about every kind of airplane that they have to offer! Never once have I seen an object that looked or acted like this! As we drove by parallel to the object and in the opposite direction, I slowed down to look at it. It sat there at the same position the entire time and did not budge or make a sound. I know that the Air Force is up to something since most sightings are reported near a military base. This is not strictly coincidental!" Thanks toTig.

OLDHAM: Paul Davies writes that at midnight on June 19, 1998, while sitting on my balcony I witnessed what appeared to be a laser beam type straight line between two fluffy white clouds straight above me. The unusual thing was that as the clouds moved, the line stayed connected to them. I took three photos of the phenomena. Two of the photos showed nothing, but the third one revealed a bright, intense burst of light within or behind one of the clouds. There appeared to be a disc of some sort attached to it. On further inspection and through the use of enhancement, the object appears to resonate. I did not see the light at all. A photo is available.,40 Longfield Crescent, Oldham, Lancashire, England, Phone 0161 652 2853. Thanks to John Thompson and ISUR.

HESSDALEN: Five people were frightened July 9, 1998, when an "eerie ball of light" was seen when driving at 01:07 AM. The green ball of light was so near the car that my sister had to slam on the brakes. The light disappeared behind the trees as it changed color to red," a Trondheim woman told NTB (The Norwegian News Agency.) The observation occurred outside of the range of the automatic camera set up at Hessdalen designed to capture unexplainable phenomena. Five minutes before the observation, the camera captured a strange yellow light further to the Southwest. One of the witnesses describes the experience as not just strange, but disturbing and frightening. The car, approaching from Øyungen, encountered the green light in winding roads north of Hessdalen as it appeared from a hollow by the river. It was only three to four meters away, and strongly lit up the inside of the car before disappearing silently between the bushes. It shifted to a red color leaving a kind of tail of light behind it. The head of the monitoring project says it is impossible to ascertain if the sighting is linked to the light phenomenon registered by the camera moments before.

VOREPPE: On September 6, 1998, a family living in Voreppe, a town near Grenoble in the French Alps, received the shock of their lives. Looking up, a husband, wife, their three-year old child and the grandmother spotted "a slow, hovering, metallic shiny sphere about seven 6 feet above a cherry tree." As the UFO hovered and hummed, the man ran indoors to fetch his camcorder. He switched it on and "shot two minutes of videotape, showing the departure of the object." The family then telephoned the French police. The officers took the videotape, contacted SEPRA, the French government agency devoted to UFO research, and reportedly advised the witnesses "not to speak to any ufologists about the incident." Two investigators from the SEPRA office in Toulouse spent two days investigating the encounter. They took burned branches from the cherry tree for lab analysis. In a brief statement, SEPRA said the videotape was "very interesting" and "useable" in terms of further UFO research. Jean-Jacques Velasco of CNES said the UFO "looks as if it is floating and then moves away in a curious way." He described the object as "a round disc, about 5 meters (16.5 feet) across with a few protuberances coming out of it and a red ring around its bottom." Voreppe is 240 miles southeast of Paris.

LA GRANGE: John Thompson MUFON and ISUR reports he interviewed a witness who saw a UFO on Saturday, September 5, 1998. The craft was seen for only a few seconds but was extremely bright white and shaped like a boomerang. It made no noise. The craft was only 60 yards away and about the size of a mini-van. There was no fuselage just a wing. A similar craft was reported to ISUR and forwarded to John by Michael Norris, ISUR's webmaster. NORCROSS: Elaine Belisha reports her 14 year old daughter, Marilyn Chen, saw a translucent, boomerang-shaped aircraft on Sunday, Sept. 13, 1998 at 8:00 PM. "I asked her to draw a picture, thinking it might be a stealth bomber, but it has a much larger wingspan relative to the size than a stealth." The UFO appeared and disappeared almost magically even though it was at close range at dusk. Thanks to E. Belisha, 2019 Lia Hills Drive Norcross, GA.
 
HEARD COUNTY: Also on September 13, 1998, a huge red pulsating light was seen at 10:56 EDT. The UFO was moving ENE, just "bobbing," along at 1,000 feet altitude. The huge red light dims and grows brighter, but never goes off completely. This is uncharacteristic of most airplane lights. The light was estimated as 2 to 3 miles away, and the apparent size of at least four times the planet Venus. There was also a bluish-white light that remained steady and seemed diffused. The witness could not understand how a pilot could fly with so much light coming out of the craft. The bright lights are apparently underneath, because the huge light obscures the plane. Thanks to John C. Thompson and ISUR,s Michael Norris.
