30th MUFON CONFERENCE 

Joe Firmage was the star of the MUFON Conference while Jenny Randles and 
Bruce Maccabee provided excellent evidence.  Joe Firmage is an exceptionally 
intelligent and extremely gifted person who states matter of factly that he 
has been told by high ranking government officials that extraterrestrials are 
visiting us.  Only a few hundred persons are privy to this secret.  
Unfortunately, he refused to reveal his sources.  Fortunately for us the 
aliens seem reasonably friendly.  Joe believes it is likely that intelligent 
life across the cosmos was able develop a form of propulsion more advanced 
than jet turbines and controlled firecrackers.  He states, "Our scientists 
need to start thinking outside of the boundary conditions of 20th century 
physics.  They have not fully explained the fundamentals of the cosmos.  For 
example, did we evolve on Earth?  Joe feels, random mechanical evolution 
cannot account for humans.  Science has derived effective mathematical 
equations that describe certain parts of nature, but most physicists know 
that the fundamental of space-time has not been discerned.  The great 
innovations of the next century will arise in this area.  His talk explained 
that once extraterrestrial visitation is accepted almost every thing on Earth 
will change.  Physics, discoveries in biotechnology, nanotechnology, 
religion, national borders and even economics face massive changes.  We 
should prepare for the coming changes.  Zero point energy and other energies 
are within our grasp.  Joe is a great salesman and entrepreneur.  He held the 
audience spell bound with a slick and insightful presentation. 

Jenny Randles gave us wonderful insight on the conservative but realistic 
British viewpoint.  Rob Swiatek gave a great historical review of UFOs over 
Washington, DC in 1952.  Bruce Maccabee spoke about a mysterious national 
alert on December 6, 1950, followed two days later by an alert for flying 
saucer information.  He also presented, for the first time anywhere, some 
possible proof for a missing time case.  Kelly Cahill of Australia, gave her 
account of a multi-witness abduction on the morning of Aug. 8, 1993.  Six 
persons in three different cars told authorities of being forced to the side 
of a road.  Budd Hopkins, assured me the evidence for abductions is getting 
better and better.  That the Roper poll taken in 1991 and 1999 both indicated 
7% of the population have seen UFOs thus indicating there was not an increase 
in the figures due to media emphasis.  Richard Hall whose investigations 
started in the 1950s provided an entertaining view of history.  He said, "I'm 
very empirically oriented.  We need to get back to basics."  Walter H. Andrus 
Jr., MUFON's international director said, "We're dedicated to the scientific 
study of the UFO phenomenon."  Thanks to Susan Swiatek the symposium 
coordinator for her hard work and fine hospitality.  EDITORS NOTE: I have a 
suggestion for Bruce Widaman, Missouri State Director for next years MUFON 
Conference in St. Louis.  Let the 'Show Me State' dedicate the conference to 
showing real scientific evidence for UFOs.  MUFON is made up of state 
directors and field investigators who do great work.  Why can't some speak 
and show their evidence for landing cases or the recent elk abduction by a 
UFO in Washington?  Fifteen minute talks would be refreshing.  We have state 
directors who are police, lawyers and FBI.  They know what evidence is.  
Video and photographic evidence, implants, MJ-12 papers evidence, and 
military witnesses would be wonderful.  Richard Hall has a great book ready 
for a publisher called the UFO Evidence Part II.  

NEW YORK UFO SIGHTINGS

MONTOUR FALLS – A mother and daughter while playing softball saw a UFO on 
June 18, 1999, at 6:00 PM.  The silver object was the size of a pea at arms 
length.  It glinted silver in the setting sun as if spinning as it moved away 
towards the east.  It had a textured surface that was faceted just like a 
disco ball.  After five minutes, the object made a 90 degree turn to the 
north and accelerated out of sight in about a second.  The second sighting of 
the silver object was by six witnesses from the Watkins Glen State Park 
swimming pool just before 6:00 PM.  The size was a BB at arm's length.  It 
gained altitude and headed east.  The sky was clear again and the glinting 
was still the same.  The duration of the sighting was about 3 minutes.  The 
object again made a left 90 degree turn northward and accelerated away at 
tremendous speed.  Thanks to NY MUFON Investigator, Bob Long.

INDIANA

STINESVILLE -- Lynn Taylor writes that she has received preliminary 
information regarding a multiple witness sighting that occurred Sunday, May 
30, 1999, just after dusk.  The sighting occurred over the White River, just 
west of Stinesville.  Two brilliant white objects were observed coming down 
toward the witnesses.  Objects were primarily white, although they were also 
emitting a rainbow of constantly changing colors.  No sound could be heard 
coming from the objects.  Objects have been spotted in this same area in the 
past.  See:  http://roswell.fortunecity.com/fate/324/oldriver.htm.  Thanks to 
Lynn Taylor

OKLAHOMA

YUKON -- S. Ritter on June 28, 1999, at 10:15 PM writes, "I was at home in 
the backyard, and I was watching the night sky and spotted through binoculars 
a light heading west.  I couldn't tell what shape this craft was.  It looked 
like a yellow ball of light just flying through the sky, then the light faded 
in and out and then back in view again.  Then it disappeared.  It was not an 
airplane, nor a satellite, nor a falling star."  Thanks to S. Ritter, 
Bbbritter.

MEXICO UFO VIDEO

MONTERREY --  Guillermo Alarcon reports that a UFO was recorded by TV Station 
Azteca on July 8, 1999.  The station was testing the weather on the roof of 
the building in Monterrey, when a UFO (ovni) was observed by the camera man.  
He started to record the sighting live and the station broadcast the sighting 
live.  The UFO had a shinning light due to the sun's reflection.  It moved in 
a circle similar to the Mexico City video flyby!!!  My friend works at the 
station and is attempting to obtain the film. Thanks to Guillermo Alarcon,

CHILE SIGHTINGS CONTINUE

PARRAL - Luis C. Sanchez Perry Chilean Director Skywatch International 
reports that on June 12, 1999, in the town of "El Fiscal" sixty witnesses saw 
a pear shape UFO at 11:30 PM for an hour.  It was twenty meters in diameter 
with a porthole.  The UFO moved slowly over the roofs of houses materializing 
and dematerializing in front of witnesses including the police.  The UFO 
group AION (aion@chilesat.net) is investigating. 
COIHAIQUE - On May 31, 1999, at 11:30 PM, in the sector of Cerro Negro two 
hunters saw two orange balls of light fly at about 700 meters in altitude.  
The UFO flew in a very erratic Zigzag way.  A hunter signaled the UFO a flash 
light, and in response one of the UFO's came towards them.  They ran away as 
it came closer.  At the same time my military friend Rodrigo Bravo saw an Air 
Force Otter aircraft fly over Coihaique three times appearing to conduct a 
radar search for the two UFO's.  Thanks to Luis Perry,  lsanchez@chilesat.net

NEW ZEALAND METEOR

NORTH ISLAND, NEW ZEALAND -- A meteor exploded in the sky on July 7, 1999, 
between the cities of Napier and New Plymouth.  It created an eerie blue 
light and showered the earth with fragments from space at 4:15 PM

AUSTRALIA METEOR AND UFOs

LAJAMANU -- A huge object perhaps a meteorite exploded above the Northern 
Territory, on Friday, June 18, 1999.  It 'boomed' like an atomic bomb and 
that earth tremors were felt afterwards at 9:30 PM.  'It was this incredible 
blue and white flashing light that lit up the whole town.  Thanks to Mella M. 
& Mitch Battros   http://www.earthchangesTV.com. 
GRAFTON --Barry Taylor reports 17 single objects and 5 'cluster' groups on 
June 26, 1999, at 2:40 PM for fifty minutes.  The self illuminated orange, 
blue, white and black UFOs flew slowly north.  They were flying near the 
4,000 feet cloud base traveling at various speeds.  The 'cluster groups' 
ranged from 3 to 12 'spheres'.  The movement within the 'cluster' was 
fascinating.  A half hour of video was shot including a clear cluster.  
Thanks to Barry Taylor.

HOLLAND CROP CIRCLE ORBS

Nancy Talbot co-director of BLT Research reports new crop circles are being 
reported almost every day in Europe.  England as usual leads with fifty, 
Czech Republic, Germany, and Holland follow. 
HOEVEN, Southern Holland -- Robert a gifted 19-year-old Dutch eyewitness 
claims that two crop circles were formed on June 7, 1999, at 12:15 AM, by a 
strange pink purple light.  Robert's intuition told him that something was 
going to happen in the field behind his farm, so he looked out his bedroom 
window.  He saw a small football shaped pinkish-purple light move ten feet 
above the ground toward his home.  It moved to 60 yards behind his house and 
stopped over the spot where a snow crop circle was formed a couple of years 
ago.  Robert said, "The light then started to elongate and to look just like 
a 30 foot in diameter aspirin or disc.  As the cloud hovered it made a 
crackling sound.  Electrical discharges exploded from the underside of the 
purple cloud for about ten seconds and suddenly stopped.  Robert pulled on 
his pants and ran to the area and found a 30 foot circle and two foot circle 
nearby.  He could feel the heat from the wheat field."  Nancy says, her 
colleague biophysicist W. C. Levengood of Michigan hypothesizes that plants 
in some sampled formations were affected by numerous spinning plasma vortexes 
that contain microwave energies.  The microwaves heat the plant cells, 
softening and collapsing the stems into the fluid patterns we have come to 
associate with genuinely mysterious formations.  But Levengood does not know 
the source of the spinning plasma vortex.  Robert feels this energy gives him 
the ability to heal.  We may be dealing with energies completely 
misunderstood."  Thanks to Nancy Talbott.  

SOME UFOs ARE OUR BILLION DOLLAR SECRETS  

Tim Matthews writes: " UK Channel 5, on July 4, 1999, broadcast a program 
entitled "Billion Dollar Secrets."  Correspondent Nick Cook of Jane's Defense 
Weekly ran the program.  It supported the view that classified black projects 
are responsible for their share of the UFO evidence, and that the subject has 
been used by the military-industrial complex and its' intelligence allies for 
decades.  The most interesting comment was from former Convair boss Bob 
Widmer who made a number of fascinating claims about his classified defense 
work with specific relation to the Top Secret "Kingfish" high Mach aircraft 
of the late 1950s.  Not only did he say -- with an expert insider knowledge 
that has clearly had a profound affect on his personal and family life -- 
that the 'flying saucer' shape was seen to be the best, most perfect shape 
for his future aircraft, but that proposals for the Kingfish had moved along 
those lines.  In a fascinating mirror of my own experience regarding FOIA 
material and classified documents dating back to the late 1940s and 1950s 
which, the various agencies claim have been destroyed.  Widmer stated 
categorically that, "ALL material relating to his own classified projects had 
been similarly disposed of."  This is how they operate; by going against all 
protocol and destroying documents that lead back to the many FT and disc 
projects of the past.  It is also our experience -- and Nick Cooks' -- that 
the fear and pressure exerted by those tasked to maintain the 
near-impenetrable walls of secrecy and disinformation surrounding these 
projects ruins peoples' lives.  They will do whatever it takes to maintain 
secrecy including creating a mountain of disinformation via the relatively 
simple seeding of something like the MJ-12 documents.  Boyd Bushman from 
Lockheed Martin discussed antigravity craft/experiments.  It is clear that 
the UFO subject has been controlled from the top since 1947.  It appears the 
UFO community is a target test group for psychological warfare and black 
propaganda."  Thanks to Tim Matthews.  Editor's Note: We were able to obtain 
formerly classified information on the Silverbug Disc aircraft with the help 
of the Air Victory Museum.  Our investigators also report on the black 
triangle aircraft.  They are manned black aircraft that appear the size of 
commercial airliner with delta wings that use advanced jet power to fly in 
excess of Mach 3.  They may be called Aurora or Senior Citizen.  Several 
versions the craft have been seen over the North Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, and 
the New England coast.  One was video taped this week over Scottsdale, 
Arizona.  

ABDUCTEES MUST UNITE TO OBTAIN EVIDENCE, GET SKEPTICS TO HELP 

Last week, I sat down to lunch at the DC MUFON Conference with five pro UFO 
people.  We were joined by two of the biggest skeptics in the country.  The 
honorable opposition was Phil Klass and Dr. Gary Posner.  I heard some good 
advice from them.  They indicated that none of the speakers provided proof or 
evidence that UFOs exist or that abductions are real.  They asked, "Why 
wasn't evidence being provided by MUFON field investigators?"  They admitted 
Jenny Randles from BUFORA in Britain had some good data.  It is apparent the 
honorable opposition can see the weakness of our arguments.  Phil Klass even 
offered evidence to help our cause.  (See the following article.)  They both 
easily knocked down my arguments about the validity of abductions.  In their 
opinion abductions are fairy tales and anyone who is hypnotized losses all 
credibility.  They argued, "Without evidence abductions are a myth.  They 
pointed out Jenny Randle's presentation informed us that in 1988, hypnosis 
was banned in England as an investigation tool because people were accused of 
simply fabricating the stories."  The two skeptics suggested that, "Both 
scientists and law enforcement officers simply do not believe the abductees 
stories.  They are simply too wild to be believed without evidence.  
Additionally, a clever fake can fool most investigators into believing that 
they are a real abductee.  The hundreds of hours of recording tapes with the 
abductees stories proves nothing except that people have lucid dreams.  These 
stories are not believed because of the lack of supporting evidence."  
Reflecting on their comments I realized they were at least partially right.  
I remembered, I personally have provided excellent abductee's stories to 
reasonable professional friends of mine.  They laughed and I'm tired of my 
friends laughing at us!  I left the conference badly hurt and disheartened by 
the skeptics.  I lost that battle, but it shows I need to work harder.  

PLAN OF ACTION: I feel a plan is needed to make the people who count believe 
the abductee's accounts.  In a court of law, in the court of public opinion 
EVIDENCE is needed.  The abductee claim they are being abducted.  Well, help 
us prove it.  Researcher Victoria Alexander suggested several years ago in 
the MUFON Journal that you must treat your bedroom as a crime scene.  You are 
being abducted from your home.  Some claim they are even raped or tortured.  
We need witnesses to support these stories.  To my knowledge a third party 
witness has not stepped forward to be interviewed by MUFON field 
investigators with the possible exception of the Betty Hill, Travis Walton, 
or the Kelly Cahill cases.  If your being taken from your home witnesses such 
as a neighbor should see a craft.  In many states police are the profession 
most likely to see a UFO.  I reported 290 UFO sightings last year, none 
seemed connected in any way with an abduction.  I wonder why not?  It is 
logical to assume, if thousands of abductions are taking place, that an 
abductee's neighbor or relatives would see the abduction, or at least a UFO.  
Many a court case as been won with a third person witness.  They are powerful 
witnesses that have put many a person in jail.  With a third person witness, 
you and your investigator you can go to the police and be believed.  If you 
are a witness to an abduction please contact me.  Other evidence is also 
important.  Scratches, bruises, body marks don't prove much unless it can be 
shown, who did this to you.  Perhaps the cuts are strange in some way?  
Independent physicians can establish that these wounds were not present the 
previous day, but they could be self inflicted.  

The scene of the abduction or kidnapping most often is your bedroom.  Many 
abductees know approximately when their abductors might come.  You can even 
call the police and tell them there have been prowlers and ask they keep an 
eye on your home.  "Don't tell them a UFO picks you up."  If you have an 
investigator watching your home also notify the police so he is not arrested. 
 Neighbors can also be warned of intruders and can help keep watch.  Prepare 
your bedroom to help obtain evidence.  First clean and vacuum your bedroom as 
best you can.  I suggest keeping shoes outside the room.  Only walk bare foot 
in your bedroom.  The night you expect an abduction attempt to have a hard 
surface clean next to your bed or place plastic on your rug.  Try not to walk 
on it.  Insure clean surfaces on your bed stand and a clean bed cover.  
Consider carrying out an experiment of tying difficult to remove string or 
ribbon around your body.  Essentially think up ways to make it difficult for 
your abductors to remove your clothing.  Torn clothes and bedding is 
evidence.  We need some scientific experiments that provide evidence.  Hide a 
seed, or something living on your body each night.  In the morning remove the 
seed and place it a separate container, record the day.  There is reason to 
believe that living things are affected when taken aboard a UFO.  The seeds 
can be then compared.  The ones taken with you aboard the ship are different, 
than those hidden on your person when you were not abducted.  You and the 
living thing can be tested.  Your blood and the seeds will likely show 
evidence that something happened.  More sophisticated tracking devices are 
under construction.  

The next morning when you awake and you suspect abduction get a witness to 
come to your room and observe.  Did the intruder leave evidence such as hair? 
 If anything strange is found pick it up with tweezers or wipe up with a 
cotton bud and place in a clean jar.  Record all data carefully.  Recently in 
Australia an abductee found a blonde hair believed to be from an alien.  It 
was analyzed and the DNA was from a rare Asian race all of whom are black 
haired.  Perhaps you are bleeding, you have new scars, the plastic has been 
walked on by tiny feet.  Your string has been cut that you tied around 
yourself, the video camera malfunctioned, there is meteorite dust on your 
night table, and newly laid plastic.  You have real evidence, now you can 
call an investigator, together you call the police and hold a press 
conference.  If ten persons around the country had similar proof then 
abductees are more likely to be believed.  Abductees must unite and fight.  
This is just a few ideas.  I'm asking our readers such as Derrel Sims, 
abductees and our field investigators for further suggestions.  Thanks to 
Gary Posner, and Phill Klass. 

SKEPTIC PHIL KLASS HINTS AT EVIDENCE FOR ET CRAFT

 The skeptic Phil Klass claims that DSP satellite's-engineer Ron Regehr hints 
that DSP has spotted ET craft.  Ron Regehr a member of the Roswell 
Photographic Interpretation Team (RPIT's) was featured in the July issue of 
the Skeptics UFO Newsletter, published by Phil Klass.  Klass writes: 
"Pro-Ufologist Ron Regehr--an engineer with Aerojet Electro Systems which 
produces the infrared sensors used on DSP satellites -- published a 67-page 
report in 1998 titled: "How to Build a $125 Million UFO Detector" which 
suggests that DSP satellites have detected ET craft.  Because Regehr has 
access to classified DSP data, he must necessarily base his speculative and 
vague claims on unclassified data and published information from a variety of 
sources, ranging from an OMNI magazine article on (alleged) government UFO 
cover-up to an article on DSP detection of meteoroids in The New York Times.  

In reality, most of DSP's infrared sensors that look down from its 22,000 
mile high altitude operate at a wavelength approximately 2.5 microns so that 
the earth's atmosphere will heavily attenuate infrared energy emitted by 
military aircraft (unless flying at very high altitude), forest fires, 
electric power plants and other hot objects which would otherwise generate 
thousands of false alarms.  If/when ET craft visit Earth, if they use 
propulsion systems which involve high temperatures, then they can be detected 
by DSP satellites prior to descending to low altitudes where the atmosphere 
heavily attenuates their infrared radiation.  However, if ET craft use exotic 
propulsion techniques, such as "Zero Point Energy," as Joe Firmage believes, 
then they will NOT be detected by DSP's infrared sensors."  Thanks to Phil 
Klass and Bond Johnson.  Editor's Note: North Vietnamese Surface to Air 
Missiles (SAMs) also set off the sensors.  Our newer sensors are doing a much 
better job at picking up UFOs.  (At least one per hour.)

TAPE OF EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE UFO ENCOUNTER

Lunar Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell was at Edwards the night the UFO chase 
occurred.  The 6th person to walk on the moon said, "The night it happened I 
investigated it myself and this was a real event."  Sam Sherman's audio 
documentary tape called THE EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE ENCOUNTER on the night of 
October 7, 1965, uses the actual voice recordings provided by the Air Force.  
During this event 12 high tech luminous UFOs invade secure air space and came 
down low over the runways at Edwards AFB.  Tower operator Sgt. Chuck Sorrels 
spotted them and notified the Air Defense Command.  Sgt. Sorrels is heard on 
the original tapes and in a new segment where he verifies the event as it is 
heard on the archival recordings.  The UFOs are described and a decision is 
made to launch F-106 fighter interceptors.  You are there in an important 
part of UFO history.  Hear it for yourself, its the best UFO tape ever made 
and its record of a real event.  The cost of the tape is $14.95 each plus 
$2.00 for shipping -- total $16.95 -- you can send either a personal check or 
money order to: Independent International Films, Box 565, Dept.  GF, Old
