SAS in Aien Riddle
Troops saw "four little grey men" walk into ambush - then vanish

By Joe Brady

SAS soldiers waiting to ambush IRA gunmen were stunned when aliens
walked in front of their gun sights, it was claimed yesterday.

The undercover troops hiding near an arms cache on a hillside in
South Armagh say they saw up to four small grey figures.

The "aliens" and soldiers stared at each other for a minute. Then
the "spacemen" disappeared - and seconds later the eight SAS troops
saw a flash in the sky.

They were so disturbed by what they had seen they took the rare
decision to abandon the stake out.

Their commander was furious and their comrades in the elite Special
Air Services regiment laughed or accused them of being high on
drugs.

But the eight stuck to their story and it was accepted. Now, four
years later, it has been revealed to an Ulster UFO study group by a
former Army intelligence officer.

Belfast based expert Hugh O'Brien said: "we are trying to interview
the soldiers even though some may be too embarrassed to come
forward.

"We have learnt that on that morning they were convinced they saw
three, perhaps four, small grey figures in human form.

"At no stage did the soldiers feel threatened. They simply could not
believe what they were seeing.

"The alien forms made no move towards them but judging from what the
soldiers told their regimental priest and commanding officer, the
aliens knew the soldiers were there. It was like a stand off. Within
a few minutes, probably much less, the aliens disappeared.

"All the men can recall is that in a very quick space of time they
saw a brief flash of light in the sky."

Mr O'Brien added: "these men were fit, highly trained observers and
to put it down to some flights of imagination would be absurd."

The weapons cache was recovered by other soldiers.

King Arthur linked to UFO sightings

White triangles were hovering on the rugged coastline around Tintagel
Castle, witnesses say Dave Gillham - 'military officials were unable
to explain the sightings'

by Nick Constable and Karen Farrington MSN NEWS

A SPATE of bizarre UFO sightings involving bright geometrical shapes
have been reported near sites linked to the legend of King Arthur.

In two separate incidents witnesses reported
white triangles hovering on the rugged coastline around Tintagel
Castle, Cornwall - where Arthur was supposedly conceived.

In the third sighting a group of lights formed a square above a
lonely moorland road

The X-Files type mystery involve shapes which appear two-dimensional
and move in total silence.

Intriguingly, one witness reported hearing a
muffled cry for help seconds before the triangles appeared.

50 YEARS OF UFOs In the beginning... Bookies slash the odds on alien
life 'Texture was rubber, like a moist wet suit' King Arthur linked
to UFO sightings 'British Roswell' witness was ostracised

Reports on the sightings, backed by detailed
witness statements, have been logged with the Ministry of Defence by
the Cornwall UFO Research Group.

However the MoD's Secretariat (Air Staff) has refused to investigate
further claiming there is 'no evidence that the UK Air Defence
Region might have been compromised'.

All but one of the four witnesses has refused to be named publicly
for fear of ridicule.

The first sighting at 4am on January 11 this
year occurred a few hundred yards from Tintagel Castle.

Dave Gillham goes UFO-spotting on the Cornish coast

A 40-year-old woman was woken by a flashing light in her bedroom.
Through the window she saw a five foot high triangle flanked by
three rows of pulsating red lights.

She went back to bed thinking she was dreaming but returned to the
window five minutes later to see two triangles side by side

The woman, who lives alone, said she was used to seeing tractor
lights or the torches of farmers out rabbiting.

She added: "It wasn't like that. It was extremely bright." The
second triangle sighting was at 8pm on 15 February at Polzeath beach,
eight miles south of Tintagel.

"Perhaps there is a hint of truth in some of those legends" - DAVE
GILLHAM Cornwall UFO Research Group

A courting couple walking down to the sea in
pitch darkness saw a bright, 20-foot long triangle, flanked by a
smaller one, suddenly appear at the top of the beach and float
towards the sea.

At one point the shapes were within 12 feet of the couple. They
vanished as soon as they touched the waves.

The woman said: "We heard a noise, I don't know if it was connected.
It was a cry for help that had just scared me anyway. It was sort of
mumbled.

"The triangles didn't hurt my eyes. It became fascinating but it was
like, wow, you know...I found myself drawn. Then we asked each
other: 'Did you see that?'"

The third incident occurred in March near Dozmary Pool, Bodmin Moor
- the lake into which Sir Bedivere is said to have hurled Arthur's
sword Excalibur.

Drama student Matt Punter, 18, saw a square of lights hovering eight
metres above his car as he drove home late at night.

"I suddenly had to duck and slam on the brakes. My first thought was
that a plane was crashing in the road in front of me"  - MATT PUNTER
Drama student

He said: "I suddenly had to duck and slam on
the brakes. My first thought was that a plane was crashing in the
road in front of me.

"It stopped about ten metres further down the road. It was four
different coloured lights in a square with no substance to it at
all.

"I always thought people who claimed to see UFOs were a bit sad. Now
I know what they were on about."

Dave Gillham, of the Cornwall UFO Research Group, said military
officials at RAF St Mawgan and RNAS Culdrose in Cornwall were unable
to explain the sightings.

"We believe something very strange is occuring, and has been
occurring possibly for centuries, in this part of Cornwall," he
said.

"Legend links Tintagel closely with the birth of King Arthur and the
magician Merlin. Perhaps there is a hint of truth in some of those
legends."

UFO swoops on lorry driver

Tales of the unexpected have been brewing across Burton and South
Derbyshire, as residents bombarded police with stories involving -
flying bricks.

>From the outer limits of Newhall to Stapenhill, people are
experiencing close encounters of the third kind - with a series of
unidentified flying oblong objects.

Reports, which started with the sighting of a crescent-shaped UFO
hovering over Swadlincote, switched yesterday as residents spotted a
pinky brown brick shaped object in the sky above Newhall.

The X File-style sightings sparked a UFO investigation after a
Burton lorry driver claimed that he was confronted by a giant
airborne black mass he could only describe as resembling a giant
brick or skip near a UFO spotters' paradise.

The driver, who works for the Burton firm of Thacker's Pet Products
says he had left the Victoria Crescent firm to deliver goods to
Middleton in Derbyshire, a stone's throw away from Ashbourne, once a
peak UFO activity centre, when he stopped at a junction.

There, across his vision, was a jet black shape without any detail.
It hovered immediately in front of him before zooming from one side
to the other faster than his eyes could follow and then stopping.

Mr Stephen Dyche, of Baker Street, Stapenhill, is to return to the
scene of the sighting in 10 days with UFO investigators keen to
discover an explanation.

He said: "It certainly wasn't aerodynamic. It was getting on for a
shape like a brick with nothing to keep it up there. It was just
stuck there and there wasn't any movement like you'd expect from a
helicopter if it was hovering.

"I didn't believe in UFOs or that sort of thing before now but this
has definitely changed my mind."

Mr Dyche said later sightings of an object similar to the one he saw
on Monday had been reported in East Anglia.

And he said after reporting the incident to police and the Civil
Aviation Authority an organisation called Sub-paranormal
Investigations is also set to probe the case.

Bonnybridge, Scotland

This also is not a laughing matter. 50 years ago today, an American
air force pilot returned from a mission claims to have seen 9 disc
shaped objects flying over the state of Washington. The phrase
'flying saucer' was born. Conspiricists and film makers never looked
back. One UFO hotspot is Bonnybridge near Glasgow. Our reporter Emma
is there.

Emma: Yes, something wierd is definately going on here in
Bonnybridge because there have been more than 2000 ufo sightings in
the last 3 years from sinister cigar shaped objects to funny
triangles, and of course the classic flying saucer. Most of these, it
has to be said, can be explained, but never-the-less, 250 of them
still remain a mystery. So, is there anything up there?

Billy Buchanan (Falkirk Councillor): The area above Bonnybridge here
is commonly known as a flight path and I would say around 75% of UFO
sightings in the area have taken place here. If you look at back
here [points to masts along a road], there are radio
tele-communiction masts and there have been many, many sightings
along here. What the significance of the masts are, I don't know, but
I think they've got a relevance.

It was on this very road about 5 years ago, I think it was in late
October, when the first sighting took place. A businessman
encountered an object that was hovering above here. [camera points up
at some trees]  He came to my house that night. I could see that he
was very upset and frightened. We put an ad in the paper, to see if
anyone else had seen something. 400 people replied, and that was when
we realised something was going on.

Ann Malcolm: We've had quite a lot of experiences and the 1st time
it happened was when my son came into the house, saying he was being
followed by something. My daughter in law filmed it. It was quite
scary. Really bright light, moving slowly, no noise. It lasted quite
a long time, and then it disappears. We've been looking at different
things, and trying to find an answer, but no-one will give us an
answer.

Craig Malcolm: This is a film I shot in November. [home video
showing a plane moving above a full moon] If you watch closely, there
is an object which passes underneath it. [a green blob moves across
the screen in approx 1/6 sec] This is the type of thing I see all the
time - week in, week out. It got to the stage that when I take the
dog for a walk, I take the video camera with me just in case I see
anything, and I must admit, I've videoed a lot of strange objects. It
would be interesting to find out what they are, and to find out why
they are coming here to this small village. There are ordinary people
here. There must be some reason they are coming here.

[video of bright light moving slowly across sky]

Emma: Well one man who thinks he may have some answers to what is
being seen in the skies above Bonnybridge is ufologist Malcolm
Robinson. Lets start with the video footage which we have just seen.
What do you think of that?

Malcolm (UFO Investigation Association): Well, I think that
particular piece of footage was actually an aircraft.

Emma: And do you think that is what's happening to most people
around here, that what they think is a UFO, but actually has a
rational explanation?

Malcolm: When in most instances, people see something in the sky
which they see honestly, but mistakingly. But there is video footage
of objects which do not conform to aircraft movements, and I believe
these are ufo's.

Emma: So some have no rational explanation at all. Lets deal with
the things are are mistaking for ufo's. What other things could they
be?

Malcolm: They can be aircraft where the sun is reflecting off the
fuselage, causing satilites. There's a whole range of things which
can account for ufo sightings.

Emma: You think that up to 95% (cut short)

Malcolm: Yes, I think that up to 95% of sighting can be explained
have natural identifyable solution. That leaves 5% that are very,
very puzzling.

Emma: Now you've brought a film with you which of an object which
you can't idenify. We have some footage here.

[bright light moving across sky at night, above street lights]

Malcolm: We are looking at a very bright intense light which is not
an aircraft, we checked that there were no aircraft in the area at
the time.

Emma: Now that's your job isn't it - to check for any possible
explanations.

Malcolm: It is indeed. We check with the police, the airports, and
the MOD, and meterological stations to find a rational explanation to
account for any given sighting.

Emma: Phil Tavis brought along this photo, which also you cannot
identify. Let have a look at this photo. [picture of underside of a
flying saucer, bathed in orange light]

Malcolm: Well what you are seeing is the underside of an object, and
it is consistant with many sightings in this locality. It is a very
puzzling photograph.

Emma: Why do you think it is happening here. Why Bonnybridge?

Malcolm: It's a million dollar question. All that we can say is that
ufo sightings seem to be more concentrated here than anywhere else.

Emma: Well it is certainly a phenomenon it that people see things
which they cannot identify, whether you think there is an
extra-terrestrial explanation or not. You think the government
should come up here and investigate.

Malcolm: Almost certainly. I would like to see a government
investigation into the Bonnybridge phenomenon. I'm sure the British
government know what is going on and I would like to see them get
involved with Bonnybridge. What is happening is very tangible, very
real, and I demand an explantion.

Emma: Well I'm sure the villagers here want one to. Back to the
studio.

-----------------------

I hope to be able to get the pictures soon. When I do, I will post
them on my web site at http://web.ukonline.co.uk/phil.light/. If you
e-mail me, I will send you the pictures as soon as I can.

Here is the third and final part of Nick Popes abridged extract from
his new book 'The Uninvited'.

For three years, Ministry of Defence official Nick Pope was the UFO
desk officer in the MoD division, Secretariat (Air Staff) 2a. In
that time he concluded that there was compelling evidence for some
encounters being of extraterrestrial origin. His subsequent expose,
Open Skies, Closed Minds, was an instant best seller.

Now, in a second book, The Uninvited, he has reached an even more
startling conclusion. Aliens, he believes, are actually abducting
thousands of people, possibly as a programme to 'civilise' human
society. Today, in our final extract, he focuses on more strange
cases and looks at conventional explanations for alien abductions.

by Nick Pope Former UFO Desk Officer At The Ministry Of Defence

If Patsy had just dreamed floating above the park, why had a
mysterious wound appeared on her body. . .

What happened to Patsy Ryan, a 28 year old psychology graduate, in
June 1992 is the sort of experience that sends ufologists into a
frenzy.

She was spending a quiet afternoon sunbathing in a park near her
London home, when, suddenly, she felt herself being lifted up into
the air in a violent spinning motion.

Even more extraordinary, not least because she seemed to be about
50ft above the ground, she was embarrassed that others would see her
up in the air.

Such a thought my suggest that Patsy was dreaming, but there was to
be a dramatic and compelling piece of evidence to support the theory
that something more astonishing had happened.

Her immediate concern was to get back down to the ground. Willing
herself to return, she came down slowly but surely, although she is
clear in her mind that the last part of her descent was the hardest.

She remembers a strange jolting sensation, which she believes was
her spiritual body interlocking with her physical self.

Then she became aware of great pain in her upper thigh, the most
excruciating she had ever known. Later, at home, she examined her
leg. She found a wound about three quarters of an inch long, and two
thirds of an inch wide.

In time the wound became redder and more raised. She sought advice
from her friend Hazel Gilbert, a nurse, who said the wound looked
like a burn.

Two or three days later, the pain spread to the rest of her leg, and
she asked Hazel to take her to the casualty department of Guy's
Hospital in London. Nurses at Guys examined the wound and confirmed
Hazel's view that it looked like a burn. But Patsy was adamant that
she had no recollection of having received such an injury.

The wound healed slowly, but the scar remained, and is still faintly
visible. It is reminiscent of the type of scars often reported by
abductees as resulting from medical operations carried out by
extraterrestrials.

How did Patsy receive such a serious burn in a public park? Why did
she not recall being injured? How did it occur without leaving any
mark on her shorts?

There was a gap of three years, Patsy believes, before she finally
met extraterrestrials face to face.. The 'encounter' happened on the
afternoon of Saturday, September 23, 1995, while she was working in
a Central London art shop.

A group of people assembled outside the shop in a quiet side street,
and Patsy said to one of her colleagues, Maggie, that it looked as
if a coach party had arrived.

The 13 strong group were definitely unusual. All of them were oddly
dressed, as if uncomfortable in their clothes. One middle aged man,
for example, was wearing a stylish pin-striped suit, but had a pair
of scruffy trainers on his feet.

A man with what appeared to be an American accent said hello to
Patsy as they went into the shop, but she found herself unable to
speak. It was as if an other-worldly atmosphere had descended. All
the visitors were talking, but Patsy and Maggie where unable to make
out a single clear word.

The group, having made no purchases, finally began to filter out of
the shop, but then a Swedish looking woman stepped forward and
bought a single pencil.

Since then Patsy has flirted briefly with the world of ufology, but
she has decided that it is a world she wants little to do with.

Simon and Schuster on June 2nd 1997 at 15 pounds and 99 pence. To

During September 1990, James and Pamela Millen went camping in
Dorset. One night they woke just before 3am and James, intrigued by
lights he could see through the canvas, went outside. He saw several
orange balls of light that seemed to be dancing in the air over an
adjacent field.

He pointed them out to Pamela and the couple watched, mesmerised, as
the glowing spheres moved silently around. After a couple of
minutes, he decided to get his camera, but what happens next remains
unclear.

Pamela recalls that James reappeared and commented on a pile of
cigarette ends at Pamela's feet, which seemed odd as he had been
away for only a minute or so and she could not have smoked that many.
When they looked at their watches it was 5.40am. More than two and a
half hours were unaccounted for.

James subsequently had recollections of being in a circular white
room, lying on his back on something cold, and seeing figures
dressed in robes rather like those worn by the Ku Klux Klan. He has
no idea what happened to him, but believes that it was 'beneficial'.

On November 9, 1979, forester Bob Taylor was walking in Dechmont
woods near Livingston, in Scotland, when he saw a huge, domed UFO
hovering silently about 250ft above the ground. Two small, round
balls detached from the craft and moved rapidly towards the startled
forester. The objects had spikes on them, and looked rather like old
naval mines. The balls attached themselves to Taylor's trousers,
cutting him, and he recalls an acrid smell, which was his last memory
before passing out. When he came to, he recalled the sound of an
object moving off at high speed. When he returned to his truck, it
would not start. Later, the police concluded that an object weighing
several tons had been in the clearing.

Lost hours on a weird car journey

Londoner Mary O'Donnell, a 31 year old secretary, was apparently
involved in one of the most spectacular 'missing time' incidents
I've come across.

Last October, Mary was travelling on the M1 approaching Leeds with
her friend Brenda Bailey when she noticed what she thought was a
small aircraft flying across the road ahead of them.

It turned towards their car and, while Mary had a brief impression
that it might be trying to land on the motorway, Brenda reached for
some drinks that were on the floor. When she looked up again she
yelled: 'Where the hell are we?'

They were no longer on the motorway, but on a roundabout in central
Leeds. Mary and Brenda had both experienced the same sudden
transition from motorway to roundabout.

Just before Mary saw the aircraft, they had made a note of the time
- 2pm. Now, an instant later as far as they were concerned, it was
5.30pm

The scenario fits the classic story of aliens intercepting people
travelling in cars, but surely anything would have been witnessed by
countless other motorists. Could some form of mass hypnosis have
been involved?

Explanations for these disturbing occurrences

If abductions are nothing to do with an extraterrestrial presence,
what conventional theories might explain what is going on.

Birth Trauma

Many psychologists believe that the trauma of birth is one of our
most profound experiences, and is largely responsible for shaping our
psyche. Is it not conceivable that recollections of abductions are
recollections of birth?

Some of the images reported in typical abduction experience mirror
images associated with birth. Many abductees report being in an
environment that contains no right angles. Might this not be a
distorted memory of the womb?

The aliens bear more than a passing resemblance to a foetus. The
central procedure reported by so many abductees is medical, and is
recalled as traumatic.

The problem with such a theory is that, the abduction phenomenon is
experienced by only a small percentage of the population.

Near-death/Out of body experiences

In a typical near death experience (NDE), said to occur sometimes in
hospitals when a person is clinically dead for a few seconds, the
subject reports a lifting sensation. There is a feeling that they
are travelling down a tunnel, at the end of which is a bright light.

Some experts believe NDEs arise from the brain being starved of
oxygen. But this would not explain the NDE cases where people report
details of real conversations that occurred outside the room they
were in.

The out of body experience (OBE) is similar but is not limited to
critically ill people. They will typically report seeing their body
lying below them.

The similarity of of sensation and imagery between abductions, NDEs
and OBEs - especially the lifting sensation - is remarkable.

Hoaxes

Fraudsters are often intelligent people who are capable of
constructing intricate and believable fantasies. Some do it for fun,
others for publicity and money. Then there are those who have a
'fantasy-prone personality': the psychologically driven need to be
at the centre of dramatic events. However, bogus stories account for
relatively few abduction testimonies.

False memory syndrome

Memory is not an accurate record of past events. Sometimes, when we
play events over in our minds or relate an experience, what started
as something about which we were unsure finishes up as a certainty.
This is called false memory syndrome.

Hypnagogic or Hypnopompic imagery

Just before we fall asleep and just after we wake up, our minds are
in a curious state of consciousness. In this state we sometimes see
images or experience sensations that seem real.

Temporal lobe lability

The temporal lobes are areas of the brain associated with memory,
emotion and understanding of speech. They can be extremely labile -
that is, unstable and responsive to stimulation - and give rise to
the feeling of a strange presence, a sense of ascending into the air,
and panic.

Electromagnetism

Some researchers suggest that many UFO and abduction experiences
have their roots in electromagnetic anomalies - possibly caused by
tectonic stresses in the Earth's crust - which can cause
hallucinations in those who come close to them.

Sleep paralyses

This is the biological process which inhibits our movements during
sleep. In the borderline state between being asleep and awake, it
can lead to situations where people wake up and are momentarily
unable to move, perhaps giving them the impression that something is
holding them down.

Child sex abuse

Such events have a devastating effect on the victims, who will carry
the mental scars for life. The mind often suppresses memories of
traumatic events. The problem is that they never disappear and can
resurface from the subconscious at any time, often in a jumbled or
disguised form.

[W 1]******

uk.ufo.nw says: We are not sure exactly where this article came from
however we think you will find it interesting. A www page on Ralph
Rene and his book 'Nasa Mooned America' can be found at url:

http://www.primeline-america.com/moon-ldg/mlh2.htm

Cover Story

Did man really walk on the Moon or was it the ultimate camera trick,
asks David Milne?

The greater lunar lie

In the early hours of May 16, 1990, after a week spent watching old
video footage of man on the Moon, a thought was turning into an
obsession in the mind of Ralph Rene.

"How can the flag be fluttering," the 47 year old American kept
asking himself, "when there's no wind on the atmosphere free Moon?"

That moment was to be the beginning of an incredible Space odyssey
for the self- taught engineer from New Jersey. He started
investigating the Apollo Moon landings, scouring every Nasa film,
photo and report with a growing sense of wonder, until finally
reaching an awesome conclusion: America had never put a man on the
Moon. The giant leap for mankind was fake.

It is of course the conspiracy theory to end all conspiracy
theories. But Rene has now put all his findings into a startling book
entitled Nasa Mooned America. Published by himself, it's being sold
by mail order - and is a compelling read.

The story lifts off in 1961 with Russia firing Yuri Gagarin into
space, leaving a panicked America trailing in the space race. At an
emergency meeting of Congress, President Kennedy proposed the
ultimate face saver, put a man on the Moon. With an impassioned
speech he secured the plan an unbelievable 40 billion dollars.

And so, says Rene (and a growing number of astro-physicists are
beginning to agree with him), the great Moon hoax was born. Between
1969 and 1972, seven Apollo ships headed to the Moon. Six claim to
have made it, with the ill fated Apollo 13 - whose oxygen tanks
apparently exploded halfway - being the only casualties. But with
the exception of the known rocks, which could have been easily mocked
up in a lab, the photographs and film footage are the only proof that
the Eagle ever landed. And Rene believes theyr're fake.

For a start, he says, the TV footage was hopeless. The world tuned
in to watch what looked like two blurred white ghosts gambol threw
rocks and dust. Part of the reason for the low quality was that,
strangely, Nasa provided no direct link up. So networks actually had
to film "man's greatest achievement" from a TV screen in Houston - a
deliberate ploy, says Rene, so that nobody could properly examine
it.

By contrast, the still photos were stunning. Yet that's just the
problem. The astronauts took thousands of pictures, each one
perfectly exposed and sharply focused. Not one was badly composed or
even blurred. As Rene points out, that's not all:

- The cameras had no white metres or view ponders. So the astronauts
achieved this feet without being able to see what they were doing.

- There film stock was unaffected by the intense peaks and powerful
cosmic radiation on the Moon, conditions that should have made it
useless. McGrath - They managed to adjust their cameras, change film
and swap filters in pressurised clubs. It should have been almost
impossible to end their fingers.

Award winning British photographer David passer is convinced the
pictures are fake. His astonishing findings are explained alongside
the pictures on these pages, but the basic points are as follows:

- The shadows could only have been created with multiple light
sources and, in particular, powerful spotlights. But the only light
sauce on the Moon was the sun.

- The American flag and the words "United States" are always
brightly lit, even when everything around is in shadow.

- Not one still picture matches the film footage, yet Nasa claims
both were shot at the same time.

- The pictures are so perfect, each one would have taken a slick
advertising agency hours to put them together. But the astronauts
managed it repeatedly.

David Persey believes the mistakes were deliberate, left there by
"whistle blowers", who were keen for the truth to one day get out.
If Persey is right and the pictures are fake, then we've only Nasa's
word that man ever went to the Moon. And, asks Rene, why would anyone
fake pictures of an event that actually happened?

The questions don't stop there. Outer space is awash with deadly
radiation that emanates from solar flares firing out from the sun.
Standard astronauts orbiting earth in near space, like those who
recently fixed the Hubble telescope, are protected by the earth's
Van Allen belt. But the Moon is to 240,000 miles distant, way outside
this safe band. And, during the Apollo flights, astronomical data
shows there were no less than 1,485 such flares.

John Mauldin, a physicist who works for Nasa, once said shielding at
least two metres thick would be needed. Yet the walls of the Lunar
Landers which took astronauts from the spaceship to the moons
surface were, said Nasa, "about the thickness of heavy duty aluminium
foil".

How could that stop this deadly radiation? And if the astronauts
were protected by their space suits, why didn't rescue workers use
such protective gear at the Chernobyl meltdown, which released only a
fraction of the dose astronauts would encounter? Not one Apollo
astronaut ever contracted cancer - not even the Apollo 16 crew who
were on their way to the Moon when a big flare started. "They should
have been fried," says Rene.

Furthermore, every Apollo mission before number 11 (the first to the
Moon) was plagued with around 20,000 defects a-piece. Yet, with the
exception of Apollo 13, Nasa claims there wasn't one major technical
problem on any of their Moon missions. Just one effect could have
blown the whole thing. "The odds against these are so unlikely that
God must have been the co-pilot," says Rene.

Several years after Nasa claimed its first Moon landing, Buzz Aldrin
- "the second man on the Moon" - was asked at a banquet what it felt
like to step on to the lunar surface. Aldrin staggered to his feet
and left the room crying uncontrollably. It would not be the last
time he did this.

"It strikes me he's suffering from trying to live out a very big
lie," says Rene.

Aldrin may also fear for his life. Virgil Grissom, a Nasa astronaut
who baited the Apollo programme, was due to pilot Apollo 1 as part
of the landings build up. In January 1967, he hung a lemon on his
Apollo capsule (in the US, unroadworthy cars are called lemons) and
told his wife Betty: "if there is ever a serious accident in the
space programme, it's likely to be me."

Nobody knows what fuelled his fears, but by the end of the month he
and his two co- pilots were dead, burnt to death during a test run
when their capsule, pumped full of high pressure pure oxygen,
exploded.

Scientists couldn't believe Nasa's carelessness - even a chemistry
students in high school knows high pressure oxygen is extremely
explosive.

In fact, before the first manned Apollo fight even cleared the
launch pad, a total of 11 would be astronauts were dead. Apart from
the three who were incinerated, seven died in plane crashes and one
in a car smash. Now this is a spectacular accident rate.

"One wonders if these 'accidents' weren't Nasa's way of correcting
mistakes," says Rene. "Of saying that some of these men didn't have
the sort of 'right stuff' they were looking for."

Nasa wont respond to any of these claims, their press office will
only say that the Moon landings happened and the pictures are real.
But a Nasa public affairs officer called Julian Scheer once delighted
200 guests at a private party with footage of astronauts apparently
on a landscape. It had been made on a mission film set and was
identical to what Nasa claimed was they real lunar landscape.

"The purpose of this film," Scheer told the enthralled group, "is to
indicate that you really can fake things on the ground, almost to
the point of deception." He then invited his audience to "come to
your own decision about whether or not man actually did walk on the
Moon".

A sudden attack of honesty? You bet, says Rene, who claims the only
real thing about the Apollo missions were the lift offs. The
astronauts simply have to be on board, he says, in case the rocket
exploded.

"It was the easiest way to ensure Nasa wasn't left with three
astronauts who ought to be dead," he claims, adding that they came
down a day or so later, out of the public eye (global surveillance
wasn't what it is now) and into the safe hands of Nasa officials,
who whisked them off to prepare for the big day a week later.

And now Nasa is planning another giant step - project Outreach, a 1
trillion dollar manned mission to Mars. "Think what they'll be able
to mock up with today's computer graphics," says Rene Chillingly.
"Special effects was in its infancy in the 60s. This time round will
have no way of determining the truth."

Space oddities

- Apollo 14 astronaut Allen Shepard played golf on the Moon. In
front of a worldwide TV audience, Mission Control teased him about
slicing the ball to the right. Yet a slice is caused by uneven air
flow over the ball. The Moon has no atmosphere and no air.

- A camera panned upwards to catch Apollo 16's Lunar Lander lifting
off the Moon. Who did the filming?

- One Nasa picture from Apollo 11 is looking up at Neil Armstrong
about to take his giant step for mankind. The photographer must have
been lying on the planet surface. If Armstrong was the first man on
the Moon, then who took the shot?

The pressure inside a space suit was greater than inside a football.
The astronauts should have been puffed out like the Michelin Man,
but were seen freely bending their joints.

- The Moon landings took place during the Cold War. Why didn't
America make a signal on the move that could be seen from earth? The
PR would have been phenomenal and it could have been easily done with
magnesium flares.

Text from pictures in the article

Only two men walked on the Moon during the Apollo 12 mission. Yet
the astronaut reflected in the visor has no camera. Who took the
shot?

The flags shadow goes behind the rock so doesn't match the dark line
in the foreground, which looks like a line cord. So the shadow to
the lower right of the spaceman must be the flag. Where is his
shadow? And why is the flag fluttering? How can the flag be brightly
lit when its side on to the light? And where, in all of these shots,
are the stars?

The Lander weighed 17 tons yet the astronauts feet seem to have made
a bigger dent in the dust.

The powerful booster rocket at the base of the Lunar Lander was
fired to slow descent to the moons service. Yet it has left no traces
of blasting on the dust underneath. It should have created a small
crater, yet the booster looks like it's never been fired.

UFO link as cows are mutilated

By Murray Davies

The dead cow was lying in the middle of a perfect circle in a field.

It's head was twisted up in the air with the bottom jaw and tongue
cut out. The sex organs had been removed and the naval cut out in a
circle.

But despite all that there was no blood on the ground or the animal.

"People have been reporting UFOs in the area," said Sheriff C J
Richards, of Cochron County, Texas, after finding the carcass in
March 1975. "They all tell the same story.

"The spacecraft is the width of a two lane highway. Its round and
looks like the colour of the sun with a blue glow around it.

"When people see this thing, two or three days later we hear about
mutilated cows."

This is just one of a string of unexplained animal mutilations in
the southern states of America stretching back to 1967.

They continue even to the present day.

Local people dismiss government claims that the wounds were caused
by wild animals.

"If it is predators, then we have predators with super powers," said
New Mexico police officer Gabe Valdez.

"It is hard to believe predators can pull a steers heart out through
a small hole in his neck. And I have seen that."

The incisions display advanced medical knowledge.

A clue to the reason for the mystery was given by Judy Doraty, who
witnessed an animal mutilation.

Under hypnosis it was revealed that she was abducted late one
evening in May 1973 while she was driving home from playing bingo in
Houston, Texas.

She saw a light in the sky. A carf was being drawn up in a beam.

She was taken into the spacecraft where aliens told her they were
stationed on earth and were working for the betterment of mankind
which was destroying itself through pollution.

They were studying the reproductive system of animals to find the
extent of contamination.

It was only in the Eighties that scientists began to discover that
humans and cattle share many genetic similarities.

Did rats from space down TWA Flight 800?

By Charles Oulton
Science Correspondent

A freak accident involving a canister of rats launched from space
may have caused last year's TWA crash off the coast of New York,
killing all 230 passengers and crew.

The latest, and most bizarre, theory to be examined by accident
investigators claims the container - travelling towards earth at 800
mph - punctured the aircraft's central fuel tank, causing an
explosion.

The FBI found no evidence to support its theory that a bomb caused
the crash and eventually concluded that mechanical failure had caused
the fuel tank to explode after a build up of vapour.

However, no one has explained how the vapour or gas was ignited -
and that is where the canister takes on it intriguing significance.

The Space Shuttle Columbia launched a capsule containing the
canister before it returned to earth on July 7 last year after a
record 17 day mission. Scientists hoped to examine the animals to
test the impacts of space travel on bone marrow.

When the capsule re-entered the earth's atmosphere, it was blasted
open by rockets to release the canister which was fitted with a
parachute. A US C130 Hercules trailed a giant net to catch the
canister at 30,000ft.

But the parachute failed to open, putting the canister on a
collision course witTWA Flight 800, which had taken off from John F
Kennedy airport for Paris 9 minutes earlier.

The canister is said to have hit the aircrafts fuselarge at
13,700ft, puncturing the near empty central fuel tank which then
exploded. Seconds later, the Boeing 747 plunged into the Atlantic
Ocean, watched by horrified onlookers on the shores of nearby Long
Island. It was the second worse crash in American aviation history.

The new theory could explain a photograph taken by Linda Kabot,
showing a mysterious, cylindrical object which seemed to be heading
south west towards the aircraft.

The FBI interviewed Mrs Kabot and her husband several times and
plotted a possible trajectory for the object. Although they
eventually dismissed the evidence, they instructed the Kabot's not to
talk about it.

The canister theory could also explain radar pictures which also
revealed an object resembling a missile speeding towards the
aircraft.

Although the Pentagon confirmed the jet crashed near an area some
times used for "air combat exercises", few people believe that it
was brought down by a missile fired from the sea. A Nasa spokeswoman
said: "we had nothing to do with TWA."

As rumours of the new lead circulated, a senior source close to the
investigation claimed there had been a cover-up because of the
severe embarrassment it would cause.

"This is a scandal being hushed up. No one has admitted losing this
canister because it would anger the animal rights lobby. But if the
aircraft was brought down by this canister, the truth should be
told."

The growing peril of rubbish plunging to Earth

Space debris from rockets and satellites has been falling to earth
for many years, posing an increasing risk to aircraft.

Almost every month, pilots report sightings of space objects, with
canisters being the most regular hazards.

Although many fall safely in the sea, some land in built up areas,
and tracking technology is still not advanced enough to give
sufficient warning.

The seriousness of the position was recognised as early as 1964 when
the international space treaty guranteed compensation for anyone hit
by objects from space.

There have been several payouts, notably by Russia to Canadian
trappers after a radioactive satellite fell on their land in the
Seventies. Part of the US Skylab fell into the Australian desert in
1979, and a booster rocket system nearly hit an Air India flight in
1985.

The aircraft blew up, probably as the results of a bomb. The chief
accident investigator said the rocket had not caused the crash. But
he added: "it is going to happen sometime."

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This book could not have been written without the assistance and
support of several people. John Carpenter's freely given and tireless
efforts to assist me and my family in finding answers to an
overwhelming mystery can never be repaid. Without his words of
encouragement along the way, the outcome would have been far
different. I also want to thank his assistant, Ann Bayliff, whose kind
words and sense of humor always helped put things into perspective. In
this fast-paced, technological world we inhabit, we too often forget
the healing power of a human gesture. At the lowest point in my search
for answers last year, one gentleman with clear insight and human
compassion reached out to me, and turned my life around. That
gentleman was Budd Hopkins, and the memory of his hug at a time when I
needed it most will remain with me always. Budd, I can never thank you
enough for your compassionate, human gesture. I also owe a debt of
gratitude to two groups in Springfield, Missouri and Little Rock,
Arkansas. The support and understanding offered by many individuals
was of inestimable value, and I appreciate all of you more than words
can say. I particularly want to thank Lucius Farish and Kandy Turner
in Little Rock, and Tom Strand and Susan and Duane Bedell in
Springfield, Missouri.

I thank Jack and Mary, our close friends, for listening to me without
judging, and for being there throughout the last year. Friendships
such as that are rare, indeed. I also wish to thank my friend and
co-worker, Linda, for believing me, and for helping me get over the
post-abduction "blues."

My family is, and always will be, one of the most important facets of
my life. I love you all, and if I had the adventure to live over, I
would still want to relive it with each of you. And to my husband-- if
we have more than one life to live, I hope to live them all with you.
 

THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO THE FOLLOWING: To the aliens,
whatever they are. Without them, there would have been no need to
write this book. To the brave souls who have risked their reputations
and livelihood to search for answers to the mystery. And to the
intrepid human being who someday finds the answer to the most profound
mystery the human race has ever encountered. I know you're out there
somewhere
 

A NOTE TO THE READER: The people and events depicted in this book are
real. Due to the sensitive nature of the events recounted within,
pseudonyms have been used throughout, except in the case of well-known
personages.
 

FOREWORD

Twenty years had passed. The memory of many events had been dulled by
the passage of time and accumulation of new experiences. Except one in
particular. One nagging peculiar event in which Lynne and her mother
lost over an hour of time together in a mysterious shared period of
amnesia while driving a familiar route to their home. Although
medically unlikely, they lost and regained conscious awareness at the
same moment. They found themselves going the wrong way on an entirely
different and unfamiliar road. Neither could explain how they had
driven to this area without either of them knowing it. No explanation
offered to them had ever been satisfactory. If it had not been for
their brief observation of a strange silver "airplane" with no wings,
no tail, and no windows, they probably never would have made any
connection with the subject of UFO's.

Daughter Lynne was not looking for an exotic experience or an
upheaval in her life. It had not been the only unusual experience in
the background of her family, but Lynne always attempted to find
sensible explanations. She just wanted to unlock this period of
missing time so that the logical explanation for their experience
could finally be learned and understood. She knew practically nothing
about UFO abductions. Her mother did not even want to know anything
about such a bizarre subject and certainly had no interest in any
hypnosis sessions. What they finally learned "explained" what
apparently took place during their amnesia, but was an amazing and
unexpected tale of an encounter with other-worldly beings which they
described independently with incredible similarity in details and
feelings.

When an alleged UFO abduction contains multiple participants, the
potential for understanding the phenomenon greatly increases because
one is no longer dealing with a recalled experience just from within
the boundaries of one individual's mind. With two or more persons
involved, the likelihood of a shared hallucination or delusion greatly
diminishes. Specific matching details provide much difficulty for
explanations of confabulation and fantasy. Innocently fabricated
"false memories" or psychological representations of repressed sexual
trauma would fail to account for the independently reported scenarios
which match each other. If repressed sexual trauma were the source for
an individual's claims, then the resulting creation would be an
intricate and symbolic tapestry of that individual's personality,
history, psychodynamics, life experiences, and perspective -- not an
account matching with great accuracy to another person's private
recollections. If these reports are hoaxes, then one could expect the
incidents to be recalled with identical details and very few or no
differences or changes. However, people recalling simultaneous UFO
abductions tend to report a set of experiences that contain an
overlapping and correlating subset. No two persons are able to share
reality in exactly the same manner due to differences in attention,
perception, interpretation, and emotional predisposition.

Responses under hypnosis fail to show evidence of suggestibility or
any inclination toward being led to more sensible answers. Instead,
these subjects -- as have many others -- arrive at bizarre responses
which unknowingly match both published and even unpublished data of
which neither subject could possibly have been aware. The stories are
experienced as real and told from two different human perspectives
with language and emotions congruent with a genuine yet unsettling
encounter with something quite beyond the normal routines of these
persons. Their psychological responses are predictably upset -- a
normal reaction to such bizarre beings and odd circumstances.

Experience within these pages the integrity, intelligence,
humbleness, and courage of this family as Lynne bravely reveals her
family's encounters with the unknown. I have thoroughly enjoyed and
appreciated their strength and determination to find the truth in
their lives -- no matter what incredible paths they needed to explore.
Open your mind to the possibilities and humbling awareness that we are
not alone.

INTRODUCTION

Little did I realize on that fateful day in February of 1992 that I
was embarking on a journey of discovery that would forever alter the
world in which I lived and my perception of reality. With one small
step, I entered a "Forbidden Zone" of "missing time," alien abduction,
and potential genetic experimentation--a world inhabited by UFOs and
their occupants.

What follows is a chronology of over a year in that journey. My
fellow travelers include my spouse, family members, friends, and
co-workers--for I discovered that the phenomenon was not limited
only to my experiences, but had also invaded the lives of those I love
and care about.

This is a true story of alien intrusion into human lives. But, even
more than that, it is a story of human dignity and the ability to
achieve victory over adversity, regardless of the form that adversity
may take. ---D.L.B.

Vivaldi

CHAPTER ONE

In early February 1992, my eyes were drawn to a book on one of the
shelves at a local bookstore. In large, bold type, the title
proclaimed Missing Time. Written by Budd Hopkins, it purported to
contain stories of persons who had experienced a peculiar form of
amnesia relating to missing periods of time, and associated these
amnesiac periods with possible alien abductions. Because my mother
(Frances Meadows) and I had shared a "missing time" experience twenty
years prior to that, I purchased the book, thinking that perhaps it
might contain some interesting and unusual ideas. I was hardly
prepared for the shocking revelations within the book. The
similarities of those stories to the experience we had shared in 1972
convinced me that I should attempt to contact Mr. Hopkins in the hopes
of obtaining additional information. On February 23, 1992, I composed
and mailed a letter to Mr. Hopkins, outlining the unusual event that
had occurred, and requested any possible assistance in determining
what might have happened to my mother and me on a springlike day
twenty years before.

Several weeks passed after I mailed the letter, and realizing that it
could be a lengthy interval before possibly receiving an answer, I
decided to pursue some other avenues that might give me the insight I
was seeking. My husband Kevin and I and a few other family members had
attended a public meeting of a UFO Discussion Group located in Little
Rock, Arkansas, in early February, and while there I was told about
John Carpenter, the Mutual UFO Network's (MUFON) Director for
Abduction Research. Upon contacting him by telephone, we found he
would be hosting a public lecture in Springfield, Missouri, on March
14. This appeared to be an excellent opportunity to meet him, so we
attended the lecture, and following its adjournment, found he would be
attending the annual UFO Conference in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, in a
couple weeks. Several of my family members, my husband, and I decided
to attend the Conference, also. While there, we spoke with John
casually regarding my possible shared amnesiac experience. He
indicated an interest in additional information, and requested that my
mother and I send this information to him separately, in order to
avoid possible contamination of our memories. We complied with his
cautions, and mailed the additional data to him in early April. After
a thorough review of the information, he informed us that if we wanted
to pursue answers, he would assist us through use of hypnotic
regression. The first session was set for April 25, and as a
precautionary measure against possible contamination, we agreed that
my session and my mother's would be independent of each other's.

As I awaited the arrival of the 25th, I struggled inwardly with the
knowledge that the journey I was undertaking could forever change my
perceptions of life and reality, and struggled outwardly to maintain a
calm I wasn't feeling. I scarcely could believe myself that aliens
were abducting human beings and subjecting them to intrusive physical
and mental manipulation. Yet here I was, about to embark on a path
that would force my husband, family, and friends to take a quantum
leap of faith with me. The outcome of that first session would affect
not only my life, but also the lives of those around me. I wasn't even
sure I had the right to involve others in my search for answers, but
by virtue of their relationship to me, they were going to be involved,
regardless. I spent a restless night thinking about the many
implications.

The morning of April 25 dawned sunny and bright, and I wore the
forecast of a cloudless day like a talisman, certain that this was an
omen of good tidings to come. My husband and I made the trip to
Springfield, Missouri, by automobile, and met John Carpenter and Ann,
his assistant, at her private office located within a multi-story
brick complex comprised of professional suites, with an interior
courtyard. Ann's easy-going personality and sense of humor immediately
helped put me at ease as we entered her office.

Following a short, informal conference with each other, I was
hypnotically regressed to the point in time, twenty years ago, when
something bizarre occurred in my life that resulted in an hour of
"missing time," in which events had occurred that were so traumatic to
my psyche that either I, or some external force, had created an
amnesia that lasted twenty years.
